PEOPLE are always striving to ''get
something for nothing" When it was
announced that there was possibility
of the opening for settlement of an
Indian reservation in the south there
was rush of ''sooners" for the border.
Months passed and the ready money of
the party was exhausted, yet they re-
mained waiting for the rush. When
the opening came they we're forced to
grab with the rest and most of the
claims secured were far from valuable.
Had these same people been satisfied
to toll on and add slowly to their
accumulations of wealth they would
have been thousands of dollars better
off than they are to-day and would
have suffered none of the hardships
they we're forced to endure during the
long wait. ..~ ~ $ @~x

nomination Of President Mckinley for
q third term. In a letter to Congress-
man Grosvenor, good-naturedly calling
the latter to task for his eagerness to
unload all responsibility for his part in
helping along the third term idea, DR..
Depew concludes by saying that when
the time comes, as it may, that in a
great crisis an Abraham Lincoln, al
ter eight years of the presidency, will,
in the Judgment of the people of this
country, best serve the highest inter-
ests of. the republic by another four
years, be will receive such a call as no
patriotic man can resist" This senti-
ment will undoubtedly be heartily con-
Cured in by thinking people, but few
will agree that present conditions war
rant the assumption that in 1904 the
country will require the services of
President Mckinley for another term.
There is no "crisis": now. that would
warrant the serious contemplation of
such an idea, and there is no likeli-
hood OF there being one three years
hence.-Dul1th NeWs Tribune.

THE TARIFF AND BUSINESS,

The Democrats, who have nothing to
lose, are clamoring for tariff amend
ments, on the ground that our good
fortune should be shared with rivals.
who must be allowed to compete on
equal terms if they are to contribute
their share to the general fund of all
nations. Theoretically, the free-trad-
ers on this side of the water are'wronp.
as experience has taught. The bal
ance of trade in our favor has enriched
this country; the balance of trade
against other countries has deprived
US Of few luxuries and no necessities.
The tariff, as it stands to-day, has not
interfered with business; but it can be
made to interfere with business and it
will interfere with it once the agita-
'tion is started ''for fair" as certain
professors used to put it in the class
room.-F0W Rirer NeeUs.

WONT DO IT.

The Kansas State Democratic COM
mittee declined the invitation of the
Pops to go in cahoots under new flag,
dreaming that fusion, under another
name, would not have the same unsav-
ory smell and that swapping names
might fool people. The committee of
Dems give as ground for their declina-
tion, not that the political principles
underlying the respective movements
are incompatibles and will not mix, but
that the past two elections have sat-
isfed US that fusion is failure.'' If
Kansan judgment is to be accepted as

changing conditions, he is still firm in
his adherence to principles. With

guided the nation through a crisis in
its history and placed it where the

prestige among the nations of the
earth, with fidelity to the great prin:-

THE TAX IS JUST.

There is justice in the British prop
osltlon to tax the mines of the Trans
vaal for the expenses of the South
African war. While the war was not
fought for the possession of these
mines, it is Nevertheless true that but
for them there would in all probability
never have been any war. If the Boer
government had been content to give
miners and owners of mines the rights
they can readily acquire in this coun-
try, in Canada or in Australia, there
would never have been that discomfort
among the outlanders which finally re-
suited in the outbreak of hostilities he
tween Great Britain and the Beers.
Under British rule the South African
mine owners will be accorded those
privileges denied them by Kruger and
there is no reason why they should not
pay for them at least part of what it
cost to secure them Oeyatonna Jour-

Found in Auburn.

10 persons who have read Gold.

Vhem as having many amenities.
some places called Auburn are
.ouno TO answer this conception better
than others.
1hese thoughts came to me when in
Auburn, Me-, in the spring of 1900.
1t was then that one OF the residents
or the place told me much that inter
ested me, and led me to saw that. 90
where we will, we still find trouble.
She told me that she had been
ait'lcted many years with a catarrhal
trouble. which caused disagrceable
dropplngs in her t'.roat day and night,
ana that she had frequently been
uizzy. owing to a torpid liver, when
everything grew dark about her.
Many residents Of .'.uburn had been
at1icted In the same way.
saw at once that she had suffered
from an impure condition Of the
blood; but, Of course, | could not see
ht once to what it was attributable -
whether to heredity, errors in diet, or
LOCALITY and did not care to ask.
she had found what other residents
OF Auburn had found - that Hoods
Sarsaparilla is the complete and rad
zeal cure for such troubles, for she had
taken it.
She said to me, Hoods Sarsapa-
rila is the best of all medicines. It
entirely cured me, and made my
health good" Her name is Mrs. Fl
vIra j.. Smiley, and she lives at 81
Hampshire street.
An impure condition Of the blood
weakens all the organs and functions :;
affects the mucous membranes causes
catarrh, torpid liver, rheumatism, and
dyspepsia, as well as cutaneous erup-
tons, pimples. boils, eczema. etc.
Hoods Sarsaparila acts directly and
peculiarly on the blood, rids it Of all
Impurities, cures all diseases ard trou-
bles caused by impure blood, and
builds Up the whole system.
