La grippe is, strictly speaking, cpl

of acute catarrh which is so contagious
and runs a course more or less definite,
the same as scarlet fever, whooping
cough, etc.
During the acute stages of la grippe it
Is not very fatal disease, but the condi-
ton in which it leaves the system has
eaused the death of countless number.
Indeed nearly every person who has
had la grippe within the last three years
finds himself more or less deranged
by the pernicious effects of this disease.
The majority of those who have escaped
Heath find life scarcely worth living.
If this vast multitude of people could
Dnly know with what certainty and
promptness Peruna would relieve them
Of all the bad effects which la grippe has
brought upon them, what an untold
amount of suffering would be averted

Christian Advocate says:

The Advocate also quotes an eye-wit-

"For a century to come Chinese con-

If the death penalty for all boxer

If there were no capitalists with
money to pay for labor, how could labor
exist?
If instead of one rich man in
thousand, we had in Nebraska one hun
dred men out of each thousand worth
million of dollars would the market for
labor in this state be worse or better?
When wage-earners outnumber capital
lists thousand to one, are employment
and good pay more easily attainable?
When capitalists are numerous and all
demanding more laborers, do wages de-
cline or advance? What good comes
from the diabolism of discomfort, pro-
mulgated by the mouth-workers who
teach laborers to hate employers? The
laborer and the capitalist are interde-

resolution and the spirit in which it was
intended:
II want the senate to say to the world
in the most emphatic manner possible,
that we do not in
Unselfish tend in any way or
manner to derive
benefit from this intervention
I propose to make it clear to the world
that it shall not be said by any European
government, when we 60 out to make
battle for the liberty and freedom of
Cuban patriots, that we are doing it for
the purpose of ACKNOWLEDGEMENT for our
selves or for the increasing of our ter
ritorial holdings"
Referring to the Teller amendment,
Senator Allison said
"They passed a resolution that Cuba
should be free that there should be an
independent government there
There is scarcely senator on the floor
and there are few people in the United
States who are not in favor of seeing
Cuba free and independent, and of using
the army and navy, if need be, to make
it free and independent state"
Senator Jones makes the distinction
between the presidential and senate
policies all the more apparent:
"There was sense Of disappointment
that the word independent was not men,
toned in the recommendation made by
the president, and the only recommend
alton made by him about the establish
ment of a government in the island was
that there should be stable government.
Stable seemed to imply that the govern
ment of the United States should exer-
else the power of supervision there to
prevent an overthrow, to maintain, to
uphold, or sustain whatever govern
ment might be established in the island.
That was precisely what many Of us
did not believe ought to be said"
The foregoing clearly shows the obliga
tions assumed by the congress of the
United States in
A Promise. the adoption of
the war resolu-
tion. The honor and faith of the gov
ernment were solemnly pledged to es-
tablish stable and independent govern
ment in Cuba.
The treaty of Paris, by which peace
was concluded between Spain and the
United States, contained the following
stipulation in regard to Cuba:
"And as the island is upon it's evacua-
tion by Spain to be occupied by the
United States, the United States will,
so long as such occupation shall last,
assume and discharge the obligations
for the protection Of life and
property. 1t is understood that any
obligations assumed in this treaty by the
United States with respect to Cuba are
limited to the time of it's occupancy

dent to insist that the Cuban cOnstltu-
ton define the relations that shall exist
between the government of Cuba and
the United States recalls promise made
by our government three years ago. The
president, in his war message of 1898,
declared that Gin the name of humanity
the war in Cuba must STOP" and in the
island there should be established
"stable government" It is to be noted
that the president used the word stable
and not independent. In his opinion
stability should be an indispensable re-
quisite Of the government to be estab-
lished in Cuba and independence only an
incidental characteristic.
This view of the presidents policy is
corroborated by the speeches made by
senators in it's behalf. Senator Platt Of
Connecticut, said:
"The duty of putting an end to exist
ing conditions is no more imperative and
nohigher than the
A Stable Government. duty of seeing that
order shall be
maintained there in the future and that
government shall be established which
shall give the United States and the
world no more cause for complaint"
Senator Caffery of Louisiana said:
"He shall intervene there
and establish such a government as will
secure permanent peace. That ultimately
some kind Of government Of the people
will be established there is without ques-
ton; but that is most delicate opera
ton, involving practical acquaintance
with the local conditions, involving
knowledge, in short, a complete inquiry
as to the social and political conditions
of the island"
1t is quite evident that the president
was opposed to committing our govern
ment to any speci-
Independence. fic recognition of
immediate or ulti-
mate independence of Cuba. This
policy was carried in the house but was
opposed in the senate. Senator Teller
moved to amend the war resolution with
an express stipulation in favor of an in
dependent as well as stable government
in Cuba. The resolution as amended
passed the senate and house and was ap.
proved by the president. The text of
this was
"That the people of the island of Cuba
are and of right ought to be free and
independent.
"That the United States hereby dis
claims any disposition or intention to
exercise sovereignty, jurisdiction or con-
troll over said island except for the paci-

suspicion has been excited that they period

been reported, but il is not unlikely that il has
been observed. The formation of such spots,
even if their cause were not fully understood,
would at least indicate that Jupiter is probably
in semi-fuid state.
The great red spot has been exceedingly faint
of late years. and yet il promises to remain one
of the chief landmarks the planet for a long
time. The mystery of its nature is yet un-
solved. but some of the observations which have
been made suggest the possibility that it lies at
higher level than the regions Immediately

marking is that il is continent in process of
formation on the scarcely yet crusted planet.
