A Northern Republican has written to
Senator McLaurin, of South Carolina,
asking him to point out the difference be-
tween his doctrines and those advocated
by the Republican party The Senator
sent a 1000 word reply, but it has not
been published, so far as we have OBJ
served. He used too many words in his
effort to draw a distinction when there
wasn't any difference.

A SPEECH OF SINGULAR EXCEL.
LENCE.

Under that head the Wilmington Mes
senger, edited by the ablest man in North
Carolina journalist-the learned DR..
Kingsbury-pays a deservedly high COM
pliment to the speech made by Mr.. James
II. Pou, of the Raleigh bar. during the
impeachment trial. 1t is high praise, and
serves the high commentator. We
quote:
without extravaganza of malice pre-
pense or forgetfulness of others we desire
10 express our unprofessional opinion
with all due elaboration. With much
care and profound interest we have read
the speech delivered by Mr.. James H.
Pou, of Raleigh, of counsel for prosecu-
ton in the impeachment trial of Chief
Justice Furches and Associate Justice
Douglas. 1t fills twenty mine pages
closely printed in a full size pamphlet.
1t is a speech of distinguished ability. 1t
is strictly a legal argument and not a
political speech. Beyond question, it is
the ablest speech that was made in the
prosecution, and we do not doubt in the
entire trial. 1t is calm, clear-cut, in
tensely logical, very forceful, candidly
courageous, ample and satisfying in it's
learning, Astounding in authorities, and
straight to the point without equivocation
or mental reservation. 1t is the effort Of
a full mind, of the close reasoner, of one
learned in the law, of a lawyer master
full in presentation holding in hand COM
pletely his coursers. Any one of fair
sense who wishes to see where the Judges
really stand in the face of the Senatorial
verdict may read with interest and con-
vincing power this speech of a superior
mind. The style is exact and admirable
for legal disquisition. 1t is we are in
clined to think, the full equal of either

At no time in the history Of disease has
there been such an alarming increase in
the number Of cases Of any particular
malady as in that of kidney and bladder
troubles now preying upon the people OF
this country.
To-day we see a relative, a friend or an
acquaintance apparently well, and in a
few days we may be grieved TO learn OF
their serious Illness or sudden death,
caused by that fatal type of kidney
trouble-Bright's disease.
Kidney trouble often becomes ad-
vanced into acute stages before the
affiicted is aware of its presence; that is
why we read Of so many sudden deaths
of prominent business and professional
men. physicians and others. They have
neglected to stop the leak in time
While scientists are puzzllng their
brains TO find out the cause, each lndi-
vidual can by a little precaution avoid the
chances of contracting dreaded and dan
gerous kidney trouble, or eradicate II
completely from their system if already
afflicted Many precious lives might have
been, and many more can yet be saved,
by paying attention to the kidneys.
1t is the mission Of The Call to benefit
its readers at every opportunity and
therefore we advise all who have any

Another recommend from a Catholic in
stitution of one of the Central States,
written by the Sister Superior, reads as
follows:
"A number of years ago our attention
was called to DR.. Hartman's Peruna, and
since then we have used 1t with wonder
full results for grip, coughs, colds and ca
tarrhal diseases of the head and stomach
For grip and winter catarrh especially
it has been of great service to the inmates
of this institution"
SISTER SUPERIOR.
A prominent Mother Superior says:
II can testify from experience to the eff
ficiency of Peruna as one of the very best
medicines, and it gives me pleasure to
add my praise to that of thousands who
have used it.
For years I suffered with catarrh of
the stomach, all remedies proving value
less for relief. Last spring L went to Col
orado, hoping to be benefited by a change
OF climate, and while there friend ad-
vised me to try Peruna. After using two
bottles 1 found myself very much i'm
proved. The remains of my old disease
being now so slight, 1 consider myself
cured, yet for a while intend to continue
the use of Peruna.

Entire Country Is Said to
Be Ready for an
Uprising.

WILLEMSTAD, Island of Curacao, Dec.
21.-General Luciano Mendoza, President
elect of the State Of Crababo; Senor An
tonic Fernandez, War Minister under
President Andrade and Senor Lutowsky,
War Minister for President Crespos Cab
met, rebelled Thursday against President
Castro near La Victoria. The revolution
lists reached Cagua, on the way to Villa de
Cura, where their partisans had concen-
trated from all of the surrounding dis
tricts
The movement it is asserted, had long
been premeditated and it is in accord with
that of General Matos, who is expected at
Martinique tomorrow. 1t is considered a
terrible blow against President Castro,
who Immediately upon learning of the up
rising dispatched troops from Maracaibo
by rail- but found the lines destroyed at
Cagua. Traffic on the German railroad is
interrupted and telephone and telegraph
lines have been cut.
Another uprising, it is reported, has
taken place near Valencia and it is said
that the entire country is ready to take
up arms against the administration of
General Castro. The Government censor
ship is strictly enforced. Official circles
in Caracas consider the Mendoza move
ment an extremely serious one and fear
that other uprisings will occur
COLON, Colombia. Dec. 21.-Senor Pinel
a member of the firm of Pinel Brothers
or Panama, has just returned to Panama
from Garachine, close to the Darien
mines, whittier he had gone on business
for his firm, which acts as agent for the
Darien Company. He reports that on ar
irving at Garachine sixty revolutionists
under Cabezas opened fire upon his party,
killing the captain Of the boat in which
he was travelling, and that he himself es-
capped only upon the payment of $500. Ca
bezas and his followers had come from
TlnaPO and were aware that Colon had
surrendered.
The Darien mines have resumed work
after lapse of several months. 1t is ru-
mored that General Diaz denies having
sent a telegram to President Castro ask
ing him to send reinforcements and
feet to capture the Colombian gunboat
General Pinzon, as was reported recently.

Absconding Postmaster CAUGHT.

ST. PAUL, Dec. 21.-Frank F. Goodson
who has been clerk in a st. Paul gro
cery store since last August, was arrested
to-day by Deputy United States Marshal
Baudy on a charge Of embezzlement.
Goodson was formerly Postmaster at
South Park, a suburb of Seattle. His ac-
counts were checked up last July. and 1t
is alleged it was found that he was short.
Goodson Immediately left that part of the
country. but was recently located through
letters he wrote to his mother-in-law at
Omaha.
Goodson was arraigned before United
States Commissioner Spencer, who fixed
bail at $4,000, in default of which Goodson
was committed to Jail. An order will se
obtained from Judge Lochran to have
Goodson sent to Seattle.

London People Now De-
mand Underground
System.

LONDON, Dec. 21.-The breakdown of
England's telegraphic system, which is
still in a state Of semi-chaos as the re-
suit Of the recent severe storms. has pro-
ouced q widespread demand for under
ground wires.
This system is already in use between
London and Birmingham and is being ex-
tended nOrthWard. The Postoffice au-
thorities point to the tremendous expense
which would be involved in changing
from overhead to underground wires
throughout the United Kingdom. but
those who are agitating for the change
maintain that the loss caused by the re-
cent storms would have gone far toward
defraying the outlay which the Postofice
breads.
It is estimated that London alone lost
e200.O00 by the breaking down Of the
telegraph wires, while the railroads
calculate their loss from the same cause
about $4,000 Another objection put
forward by the Government is that
underground wires are slower and harder
to work than overhead wires.
Though the damage was inflicted over
a week ago, telegraphic and telephone
communication between London and the
provinces is still incomplete, and in some
instances is not yet restored.

MOTHER SUPERIOR. ;
These are samples of letters received by
DR.. Hartman from the various orders of
Catholic Sisters throughout the United
States.
The names and addresses to these let
ters have been withheld from respect to
the Sisters, but will be furnished upon re-
quest.
In every country of the civilized world
the Sisters of Charity are known. Not
only do they minister to the spiritual and
intellectual needs of those with whom
they come in contact, but they also min
lister to their bodily needs. They are as
skilled as trained nurses in their treat
ment of disease, and are looked upon as
messengers of good cheer by countless pa
tient sufferers.
One-half of the diseases which af1ict
mankind are due to some catarrhal de-
rangement of the. mucous membrane lin
ing some organ or passage of the body.
A remedy that would act Immediately
upon the congested mucous membrane
restoring 1t to its normal state, would
consequently cure all these diseases. Ca
tarrh is catarrh wherever located, wheth-
er it be in the head, throat lungs, stOm-
ach, kidneys or pelvic organs. A remedy
that will cure 1t in one location will cure
it in all locations.

Argentina Wires Min s.
ter to Withdraw
From Chile.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

BUENOS AYRES, Dec. 2.-The Argen-
tine Government has wired to it's Min
lister in Chile, Senior Portela, authorizing
him to leave Santiago. This announce
ment has just been made as a result of
the failure of Minister Portela and the
Chilean Secretary of Foreign Affairs to
reach an agreement on the points al .s-
sue between the two republics, The Ar
gentine Cabinet had a meeting to-day.
After it had ended the Minister Of For
eign Affairs, Senor Alcorta, said that
Minister Portela had been directed u
leave Santiago if Chile did not accept AR
gentina's proposal for aNsettlement Of tie
controversy. This statement made, it
seems very probable that Minister Por-
tela would be recalled.
The withdrawal of the Argentine Min
lister will not provoke war Immediately,
but it does increase the gravity of the sit
uation. There is a belief that the whole
matter may be referred to King Edward
Of Great Britain, who is arbitrator of the
boundary dispute, with an explanatory
note.
Military preparations are being pushed
in this country and also in Chile.

It has been decided to establish a large
factory near Rosario for the making of
bullets and cannon balls. The principal
machinery necessary has already been

these will be finished by the end of Janu-
