AN HONEST NAME.
An Illinois Statesman Tells Good
Story-Knew His Fathers Son
Would Not Lie.

w OulQ NOT Lles
The Honorable Alva Merrill of Chill
hcothe, member for the Twenty-fourth
District, State of Illinois House of
Representatives tells an interesting
story:
Some two years ago Mr.. Merrill
gave a testimoni~l stating that Dodd's
Kidney Pills cured his rheumatism.
This with Mr.. Merrill's portrait were
published in thousands of papers all
over the United States.
On the train returning home from
Springfield one day last winter We're
the Honorable Mr.. Merrill and sew
eral other members. After a time
one of them said:
Merrill, what time do you get to
Chillicothe?"
This attracted the attention of an
old man who had been apparently
awaiting some Identification of Mr.
Merrill and as soon as he heard the
name he rushed up to his seat and
extending his hand said:
You are Alva Merrill and you
sdNtu lily lllG. w DIS ulOSI utdu WILL
Lumbago and in an advertisement
saw your picture and your recommen-
dation of Dodd's Kidney Pills. | knew
your father, and l knew his son would
not lie, and therefore l decided to try
the Pills.
81 am satisfied that Dodd's Kidney
Pills and nothing else have saved my
life and l have been waiting this op-
portunity to thank you personally, for

l might never have been led to use
this remedy, but, thanks to God,
through your honest name and the
honest medicine which you so heart
lily recommended l am still alive.
81 have been watching you since
you got on the train at Springfield and
thought l recognized your face as the
one / had seen in the advertisement,
and as soon as this gentleman called
you by name, | knew you were the
man l had to thank"

People and
* EUer7fS
NEWFOUNDLAND IS UNEASY.

The people of Newfoundland seem to
be in an exceedingly trying condition.
Their island may have large natural
resources in the interior, but its in
habitants have not the capital to ex-
plot these, and for some unfortunate
reason English capital has never been
invested there with any degree of free
dom. A large section of their western
coast line is given over to the French
by a treaty which is looked upon by
the Newfoundlanders as highly objec-
tionable, since it deprives them OF
largely developing their main indus
try, that of fishing. The people are
exceedingly poor, their resources are
greatly limited, and yet they are bur-
dened with a government debt rela-
lively far greater on a per capita basis
than that which we have. Indeed, it is
doubtful whether there is another self
governing people in the world that is
at once so poor and at the same time
so debt-ridden. Newfoundland is de-
sirous of coming to some trade under
standing with the United States, and
there are a number of reasons for
thinking that, if an independent nego-
tiation were entered upon, reciprocal
trade treaty could be made between
England's oldest colony and the Uni
ted States; but such a treaty would be
looked upon as detrimental to Cana
dian interests; hence, thus far, impe
rial permission has not been accorded
to the ratification of such treaty.

Miles Against Canteens.

A few days ago Lieutenant General
Miles, in his annual report, expressed
the opinion that the army was better
off without the canteen and that the
law forbidding it should not be re-
pealed. AS General Miles has been
one of he strongest advocates of the
canteen and was largely responsible
for it's establishment, his change of
opinion has naturally caused consider
able comment and the anti-canteen agi-
tators have been rejoicing over the
gain of a conspicuous recruit.

CARDINAL AND LAWYER.

Cardinal Domenico Svampa, who is
suffering from a critical illness, fol-
lowing upon an apoplectic seizure, is
the archbishop of Bologna, and has
been regarded as a probable successor
of Leo on the throne of Peter. The
cardinal is one of the members of the
hierarchy, who have risen to high
places by force of personal distinction
and ability. He was born in the arch
diocese of Fermo in June, 1851, of OBJ

Fish Produce Musical Sounds.

Many fish can produce musical
sounds. The trigla can produce long
drawn notes ranging over nearly an
octave. Others, notably two species
of ophidium, have sound-producing APP
paratus, consisting of small movable
bones, which can be made to produce a
sharp rattle. The curious drumming
made by the species called umbrinas
can be heard from a depth of thirty
fathoms.

is NOT A PATRIOT.

In tho Black Hills Weekly Union of
January G. 1899, will be found an arti-
ole signed by the pretended, so.called
democratic candidate for circuit Judge.
which is an index to his character and
an indication of his sentiment:
"The Goddess of Liberty should be
taken down and buried. as all that it
stands for in this country is dead.
Every true American who understands
the principles upon which our fathers
established this nation will blush for
shame; he will understand that we
have reached the turning point and
feel that The old Ship of State is head
ed straight Tor the breakers"
No man entertaining such senti-
ments has ii right to expect the votes
of the patriotic citizens of this coun-
try. The utterance is one that might
we'll have been made by the noted an
archist, Emma Goldman, and it is to
be deplored that any citizen of this
country should give publicity to such
unpatriotic and scandalous sentiments.
The office of circuit judge should not
be held by any man who believes that
the "Goddess of Liberty should be
taken down and buried, as all that it
stands for in this country is dead" but
should be filled by a patriotic Ameri-
can citizen who believes in the great
ness and grandeur of our country and
apprec iates our civil liberties .--Rapid

port him. We may admit that he is
"a good fellow" but that is a mighty
poor argument for supporting him.
There are lots of good fellows who are
in no ways qualified for the jndgeship.
The two candidates must be consid-
cred as to qualifications for the posi-
tions to which they aspire as we'll as to
their political affiliations. The best
friends of Judge MCGEE, who like him
personally, will not contend for a mo.
ment that he is the equal of Mr..
Brown as an attorney, and certainly
this district is deserving of the very
best material it has for judge, and in
the selection of a candidate the repub.
lican party after careful elaboration,
decided upon Judge Brown. That of
itself should be a sufficient recon-
mendation for good republicans. Thus
having the ADLER candidate aud as pol.
itics is always a feature of elections it
behoayes republicans to be in line for
their candidate. The result of this
election will surely have some bearing
upon the election of another year and
should 1.-THE populists win a majority
in this republican district they will
make the largest possible use of It next
year. Do not let them work you in
that manner. They contend now that
there are no political issues at stake,
folly realizing that they have no prin.
that they care to 60 before the
in support Of. All the populist
for which they have recent
~ been contending have goneglinntner-
been proven f%allaeious, weak
and foolish by the splendid results of
practical republican principles. No
one would wish to discard the real
principles under which cur country
has SO marvelously prospered for the
vegaries and absurd predictions of
popnlism. Your vote at this election
is for a principle just as much as ever,
and Il vote for populism-for Judge
McGee-is against the excellent condi-
,iui.> established by u republican vic
tory of Il year ago. and in favor of just
The opposite. Should the republicans
of this district permit a populist vic
torv this fall the ..n lst party will at
cree begin growing over a revision OF
If public sentiment. Republicans can
mt afford to be a party to such a re-
s'.it. The only way to have an abid-
ing, stable condition is to always vote
risht- 10 support the party that cor
tends for right principles. Republi-
cans must be alert and active every
lay and on Tuesday next see to it that
all republican voters go to the polls
and remember that republican princi-
pies are still an issue.
