There was to have been a meeting
of attorneys and Judge Clark of
the judicial district west Of here for
an argument Of the case which was
recently commenced by the county at
torney Of Stafford county against the
express. companies for shipping intoX-
icating liquor into the State to some
assumed name, and then delivering
the goods to any one who would pay
for the liquor and the express charges.
This practice has virtually made a
liquor vending establishment Of all the
express offices in the State. Some
time in the summer Col. Moseley sub
mitted the question to the attorney
general for an opinion. The opinion
of the attorney general coincided
with his and he commenced suit.
1t was to have been argued here by
appointment Thursday but for some
reason a continuance was asked fol
and granted. The chief contention
in this case it is said will be over the
question where the sale is made.
The company will claim that it is
made at the point where the goods
arc delivered. OF course common
man is not expected to reason as

HULL ON THE ARMY

In recent number of the Saturday
Evening Post Congress Hull of Iowa
undertakes to Justify the new army
measure. He began by saying that the
fight for the reorganization of the reg
ular army had lasted four years and
speaks of putting the United States
in line with the rest of the world in
the matter of organization of the mill
tary and of the government" That is
statement which no republican leader
would have made during the last cam
paign. The reader of the article is
disappointed to find no mention made
of the number of sons Congressman
Hull has among the commissioned Off
GERS of the army. 1t is also to be re-
gretted that the gentleman from Iowa
did not take time to enumerate among
the reasons for the large army the ne
cessity of protecting the syndicates
which are being organized to exploit
the Philippine islands. Being the
president of the Philippine Lumber
and development company Mr.. Hull is
in position to give valuable informa-
ton on this point. A prospectus Of
the company. issued last summer, set
forth the fact that his company had al
ready secured valuable timber conces-
sions and explained that the labor
problem was easily solved because OF
the abundance OF Chinese labor,

The text of the Seldomridge bill FOR
taking care of the Indebtedness of the
state, as it passed the Senate, reads as
| follows:
"Section 0, article H., of the consti-
tuition shall read: The state shall not
contract any debt by loan in any form,
except to provide for casual dcficien-
| cies Of revenue, erect public buildings
! for use of the state, suppress insurrec-
| ton, defend the state, or, in time OF
war, assist in defending the United
States; and the amount of debt con-

deficiencies of revenue shall not eN-

| within the state, and the aggregate
amount of such debt shall not ut any
time exceed three-fourths of mill on
each dollar of said valuation until the
valuation shall equal 100000, 600, and
thereafter such debt shall not exceed
100000, and the debt incurred in any
one year for the erection of public
buildings shall not exceed one-half
mill on each dollar of said valuation,
and the aggregate amount of such
debt shall never at any time exceed
the sum Of $4,000 Except as provided
in section five of this article, and In
all cases the valuation in this section
mentioned shall be that of the assess
ment last preceding the creation Of
said debt"
provided, that in addition to the
amount of debt that may be incurred
as above, the state may contract
debt by loan, to be evidenced by SEMI

Conmoner Comment.
Extracts From W. J. Bryan's Paper.
CUBA SHOULD BE FREE.

CUBA SHOULD BE FREE.
The action of the administration In
insisting that the Cuban constitution
shall define that islands relation with
the United States, is without justifi-
cation in law or morals. 1t implies
threat that the United States will yio-
late the written assurances given by
the president, the resolution of con-
gress and the treaty made with Spain,
If the Cuban representatives refuse to
concede what the administration de-
mands. The title to Cuba was relin-
quished to the Cubans-it was not
transferred to this nation. We have
no right to demand that Cuba shall
now make treaty with us before we
comply with the treaty already made.
Cuba is our neighbor, sister repub-
lie; We helped her to secure her inde-
pendence and we have every reason
to believe that she will show her graft
tude in every proper way IL we act in
good faith. But why arouse the sus-
picion of her people or provoke them
to anger? They are entitled to the
liberty for which they fought, and the
republican leaders are sowing seeds
of discord when they acknowledge, as
If grudgingly, the independence which
was unanimously proclaimed three
years ago.
At the final session of the Cuban
convention words were spoken which
indicated fear on the part of some of
the Cubans that this nation was not
dealing frankly with them, and it
must be confessed that there is ground
for their fears, but does the admins
tration really represent the sentiment
of the American people on this sub
ject?
We cannot afford to turn from the
role of good Samaritan to the role OF
dictator. We can understand how
the Cubans feel now, If we will only
imagine how the colonists would have
felt toward France IL she had de-
manded to have the relations between
France and the United States agreed
upon before Withdrawing. Honesty
and fair dealing are all that are nec-
essary to insure peaceable and ad-
vantageous relations with Cuba, but
for some reason the republican leaders
prefer to pick a quarrel.

THE PRESIDENT AN EMPEROR.

The Spooner amendment to the army
appropriation bill vests in the presi-
dent power and authority which can
be exercised only by an emperor. BY
voting down the amendments offered.
the republicans placed themselves on
record as in favor of the exercise of
arbitrary and imperial power by the
chief executive. No restrictions are
placed upoh him and no time limit Is
fixed to his rule. He ID supreme; he
can appoir. whomsoever ne pleases:
he can vest legislative. iuliGial and eS-
ecutive power all In one person, AID
that person is under nc obligatloi to
observe the constitution in dealing
with Filipino subjects. And this is
done in the name OF liberty? This is
the policy of party which sprang
into existence TO apply the Declaration
Of Independence TO men entirely black!
History presents no instance OF .
Transformation SO sudden and conf
plete.
The provisions in regard to fran
chises are of little value, because the
president must rely upon the repre-
sentations OF appointees in the Phil
lppines and their statements will be
ex-parte. Only the men who want
concessions Will be heard-the Fill
pinos will have no voice in the matter.
What advantage is there in having
the franchises terminate one year af-
ter civil government is established,
II that government is to be colonial IN
character and administered by foreign
ers?
II that provision has any influence
at all, It will simply give powerful
group OF concessionaires pecuniary In
terest In postponing the establishment
OF civil government. 1t may stimulate
campaign contributions and lead 10
the establishment OF n bureau In the
United States for the dissemination OF
literature prejudicial to the Filipinos.
II the republican party is powerleis
to protect the people OF the United
States from monopoly, how can II bc
expected to protect the helpless in
habitants Of remote Islands?
In the campaign of 1900 the republl-
cans strenuously denied that they had
any imperinlistic intentions and their
denials deceived many. but here rs
proof that cannot be disputed. Tho
president is an emperor. and will re-
main so until the republican party re-
verses its policy or until the people
retire that party from power

CHRISTIANS IN CHINA

The papers are discussing the duty
of the Christian powers in China. and
all sorts of opinions are being ex-
pressed as to what punishments ought
to be permitted and what not allc we'd.
II ought not to be difficult 20 fornu-
late rule. Whatever the Christian
nations do ought to be done according
to the customs prevailing at home.
What China does ought TO be done ac-
cording TO her customs. II ~ not the
business OF outsiders to force their
civilization upon China. but they ought
to set an example for the Instruction
and enlightenment of the Chinese.
There is n suspicion that some Of The
allies. in trying to do like the Chinese.

Mrs. August Pfalzgraf, of South
Byron, Wis, mother of the young lady
whose portrait we here publish, wrote
Mrs. Pinkham in January, 1899, saying
her daughter had suffered for two
years with irregular menstruation
had headache all the time, and pain in
her side, feet swell, and was generally
miserable. Mrs. Pinkham promptly
replied with advice, and under date Of
March, 1899, the mother writes again
that Lydia +. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound cured her daughter of all
pains and irregularity.
Nothing in the world equals Mrs.
Pinkham's great medicine for regu-
lating woman's peculiar monthly

There is little truth and great deal

treatment, and her mother should see
that she gets it.

THE GATHERING STORM.

MA oNM.
The trade papers are beginning to
realize that the consultations and
combinations which are now absorb
Ing most of the great industries Of the
country are fastening the day of anti
trust legislation. The Metal Worker,
while making defense of the new
steel trust, yet sees the possibilities OF
legislation which will make such COM
bination impossible. 1t suggests that
the undertaking was forced by the
desire to protect existing interests,
seriously threatened as they we're by
possible warfare, rather than by a
desire to unload the properties upon
the public at inflated prices" 1t thinks
It sees an advantage in the trust IN
that "the concentration of power in
the hands Of one large consolidation
Is expected to bring about decided
steadying of the markets"
1t speaks in commonplace way OF
one of the great evils of the trust, say
ing: "As a competitor, so huge an
organization could develop very dan
gerous strength by waging war In one
territory and drawing the sinews
therefor from uncontested markets
The Metal Worker evidently under
stands the methods employed by the
trusts-methods which some, strange
to say, seem to regard as legitimate
business. And yet the paper quoted
cannot refrain from a prophesy OF
trouble. 1t says:
1T will take clever management on
the part of the consolidation to meet
and break the force of aroused public
opinion. Imagination is sure to be
lnhamed by the colossal undertaking
now about to be consummated, and
there will be many who are eager to
ian the flames"
And again:
1T is certain that the new consoli-
dation will lend much support to the
antitrust agitation, and will be its
shining mark. Keen eyes will watch
every move, and unscrupulous dema-
gogues and an unbridled yellow press
will distort even the most trivial in
cident."
1t will be seen that even the defend
ers of monopoly are conscious that
the storm is gathering. Although
they consider 1t inscriptions and
"demagogic" for any one to condemn
a trust, yet they are able to measure
the force of public opinion when once
it is aroused and they are fearful lest
the reign of monopoly may, after all,
be short-lived.

On the Inter oceanic railway OF
Mexico a part OF the track has been
laid on ties OF jarrah wood imported
from Australia for this purpose. The
jarrah wood is obtained from one of
the largest tress OF the forests OF Aus
tralia, which grows to an average
height OF two hundred feet. and is
about four feet in diameter at the
trunk. There Is usually an interval of
$50 feet TO the first branch. These
trees furnish timber which is sound in
every respect,there being an absence
of dry rot. gum veins and other de-
fects that often characterize large
trees.

circumstances OF the suicide are in no
way extraordinary except for the fact
that the man was the fifth husband of

the fourth and fifth have both been

A "New-Laid-Egg Society has been
organized in England. In furtheranca
of its object collecting depots are being
established at various points. The
formation of such union not only
suggests the almost universal propen-

varieties and numbers of societies, but
it testifies forcibly to the fact that
recentness in an egg is form of new

good sense welcomes.
