Engiand's Undoubted Friendiiness.

The English Government from the
very outset was probably more friend
ly to ours than we're those Of the Con-
tinent. When war actually broke out,
il will be remembered that the first
blow was struck in the far East.
Dewey's victory at Manila affected
the international situation very great
ly. The Continental nations were
jealous Of the United States and sym.
pathetic toward Spain. England, on
the other hand, went so far in friend
illness to the United States as perhaps
to be somewhat careless about the
obligations of neutrality England
was much worried over the question
of tho "open door" in China. Ger
many, Russia, and France were
aggressive in their Chinese policies,
and England felt her own interests
and plans to be in some jeopardy.
American interests in China, like
those of England, were regarded as
commercial rather than territorial.
Germany was hoping to buy the
Philippines from Spain in case the
United States should not retain the
group, and England was bringing to
bear every possible influence to keep
Germany out and to persuade the
United States that it was the duty of
our Government to retain the archi-
pelago. In all sorts of ways we were
made to feel the friendliness of Eng
land, and in many ways were given
evidence OF the lack of sympathy of
the Continental people and govern
ments. Unquestionably, in war time
it is very convenient to have the sub
rosa friendly offices of an ostensibly
neutral power. When the facts are
analysed, the European lack Of SYM
pathy did us little harm, and the Eng
lish friendliness rendered us no very
decisive service, although doubtless
some of SPANS neighbors covered up
violations of neutrality in the supply
Of war materials, and it is said that
the English shut their eyes while
Dewey helped himself to ammunition.

State Senator Gebhardt, of this
county, thinks all the Democrats who
voted for President Mckinley in 1900
and those who voted for Governor
Murphy last year, should be deprived
from taking any part in the naming OF
nominees for office for the next three
years at least
He has introduced proposed pri-
mary election law that will prevent
any such participation by Democrats
who have been voting for Republicans.
Instead of each party having its
primaries to itself, Senator Gebhardt
proposes a general primary election,
conducted by the regular election Off
GERS in each district with the same ma
chinery and in the same manner as
general election, the public to foot
the bill.
All the qualified voters Of all parties
are to vote for their choice for party
nominees in one place and of the same
time, and the candidate receiving
plurality of the votes of his party at
such time is to be the regular nom
inee.
No ballots but official ballots printed
and furnished by the county or city
clerk are to be used, and to get name
on these ballots to be voted upon at
the primary, petition or statement of
the candidate must be filed with the
city or county clerk at least ten days
before tho date set for the primary
election.
Party conventions may be held, as
| now, but their action and choice in
stead of being final, will be subject to
the rank and file of the party at the
nominating primary. Besides being
registered, each voter at the primary
election will have to announce and
prove his party affiliations to the salts
faction of the election officers, who are
to take oath previous to the opening
OF the polls that they will challenge
the vote of any one whom they have
reason to believe is not voting in ac-
cordance with the manner in which he
voted at the last gubernatorial or ma
| tional elections.
IT is this last provision that is not
likely to meet with approval in the
Legislature, as it would debar any
| Democrat who voted for either McKin-
ley or Murphy from taking part in
making any party nominations until
after the next state and national cleo
tons in 1908, when they would be
given their first chance to purge them :
selves of party heresy.

contributed by him build up immense

which he pays for. but he is constant

The TOUCH DOES IT

Benson's Plasters are like your other
friends--they hate to see you in pain or
in weakness and are og-tired hearing you
complain about it. They want to cure you
and send you along to your business-whols
and happy. They can do 1t and soiH do it.
Try them on. What for2 Why for any
cough or cold you may be troubled with, or
any bothering pain or ache, or worry with
kidneys or liver. Possibly some old clutch
of muscular rheumatism renders an arm or
leg worth only half price Just now. For
anything that makes the machine work slow
and stiff, with pain maybe in the motion OF
it, clap q Benson's Porous Plaster squarely on
the bad spot. They are the get-out-to-norrop
plasters-not the sort that go to sleep on
your skin like cat on cushion. There
Is comfort and speedy relief in the touch Of
them. No other external remedy, no mat
ter how made or how called, is worthy
to live in the same street with Ben
sons Plasters. Pains and ailments melt
away under them az o sheet of ice does un-
der the Spring sun. You cannot foretell
the weather but you can always foretell
the effect of Benson's Plasters; IL Is as
sure as the effect of hot breakfast in q
hungry mans stomach. But look out for
substitutes. Get the genuine. All drug

number ordered In the United States on

sound in the snow about four feet from

some 10 inches when he found a small

pound, is irregular in shape and about
inches in length. 1t is covered with

A SETBACK.

If The London Truth tells the truth, which ib.certainly ought to do or change its name, the new King of England has prepared a jar for certain contingent of our population. That journal says:
 The King. we are glad to say, has de. cided that Americans are not to be admit ted to the coronation even though they may come arrayed in gorgeous vestments and ropes of pearls and diamonds. The space in Westminster is limited. The pageant will be paid for by the British taxpayer. and until every taxpayer who may wish to view the ceremony finds a seat there must be no admittance for the representatives-male of female-of for eign shoddydom. There is the more req son for insisting upon this If it be true, as asserted. that some of those who claim a right to be present are offering to sell their tickets in New York to the highest bldder.
 Isn't that jarrer? There were people insAmerica, especially in New York, who were wearing out their nerves and their brains in the effort to design gowns and jewels gorgeous enough to stun and as- tonish royalty with their magnifcence, and now to be informed that they are to be shut out from what to them would be a glimpse of Paradise will be worse than the proverbial wet blanket.
