Vor and yet within one year stuart Ca- tarrh Tablets, the new catarrh cure, mas met with such success that today 1t can be found in every drug store throughout the United States and Canada.
 To be sure large amount of advertis- ing was necessary in the first instance to bring the remedy to the attention or the public but everyone familiar with the subject knows that advertising alone never made any article permanently sue cessful. It must have in addition abso- lute, undeniable merit. and this the new catarrh cure certainly possesses in a marked degree.
 Physicians who formerly depended up- on inhalers sprays and local washes or ointments, now use Stuart's Catarrh Tab lets because, as one of the most promin- ent stated, these tablets contain in pleas ant, convenient form all the really ef- fcient catarrh remedies, such as red gum blood root and similar antiseptics.
 They contain no cocaine nor opiate, and are given to little children with entire safety and benefit.
 Dr. J. J. Reitiger of Covington, Ky, says: "I suffered from catarrh in my head and throat every fall, with stop page of the nose and irritation in the throat affecting my voice ana often ex- tending to the stomach. causing catarrh of the stomach 1 bought a fifty cent package of Stuart'S Catarrh Tablets at my druggists, carried them in my pocket and used them fait hfully, and the way in which they cleared my head and throat was certainly remarkable. I had no ca- tarrh last winter and spring and con- slider myself entirely free from any ca- tarrhal trouble"
 Mrs. Jerome Ellison of Wheeling W. Va. writes: "I suffered from catarrh nearly my whole life and last winter my two children also suffered from catarrhal colds and sore throat so much they were out of school a large portion of the win ter. My brother who was cured of ca tarrhal deafness by using Stuart's Ca- tarrh Tablets urged me to try them so much that did so and am truly thank full for what they have done for myself and my children I always keep a box of the tablets in the house. and at the first appearance of a cold or sore throat we nip 1t in the bud and catarrh Is no longer a household affliction with us.''
 Full sized packages of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are sold for fifty cents at all druggists.

 In the midst of plenteous prosperity a wave of discontent was started. and 1t rolled MT. Cleveland into the white house and a democratic majority into both houses of congress. We got tariff reform. with vengeance. And soup houses, thrown in. And three millions of idle workingmen had full leisure to study from a very personal view the beauties Of reforming the tariff by democratic methods.
 MT. Cleveland's absolute lack of hu- nor prevents him from seeing the ab- surdity of urging his fellow citizens to repeat now. under similar conditions, the mistake of 1892. He emphasized the similarity of conditions by referr- ing to his famous warning against the evils of a surplus. when he said. Tt Is condition and not a theory. which conironts us.' Under his prescription the surplus melted away, and the coun- try was loaded with additional inter- est-bearing debt to the extent of more than a quarter of billion dollars.

Current Comment
Method in Manners

President Roosevelt has invited the soverigns of the British and German empires to send over their heirs ap- parent as tourists in this country and visitors to the St. Louis exposition in 1904. It is believed that the invitation will be accepted and that the heirs to the two crowns, and representing the two empires, will come.
 Immediately appears the certainty that if they do a great tide of Euroo- can sightseeing tourist travel will turn this way. That is very desirable and should be encouraged. Heretofore the tourist tide has been running the other way. Tens oi thousands of Americans, travellers. students, health seekers and idlers, go annually from this country to Europe. They transfer tens of millions of American gold for expenditure in the old country We head required of immigrants as a con- dition to landing them.
 Americans are attracted to Europe by history. by the old records and evi- dence of what man did there. They go to the shrines of literature, to an- cient battlefields, to the seats of form CT power. to the moss grown temples, to stand in the footprints of Greek and Roman, of Alexander and Caesar. All this is sentiment, with which no one has a quarrel. But in these mod ern days the United States has an equal interest for the world. We can net show the evidences o; what man did in ages that are buried in the mists of time. Our battle-felds are grand

Ireland's Appeal for Help

The visit to the United States of the envoys of the United Irish league. who are to be given a reception in this city tonight. falls at a time when Premier Balfour announces not only that he will grant Ireland no meas ure of relief but that no airing of it's grievances will be permitted in parlia- ment The inevitable result ofs this stupid abuse of power by the tory gov ernment is to arouse sympathy the world over for cause which its op- ponents vainly hope to kill by forcible suppression.
 Indeed. the Balfour policy could not have been better chosen if it were pur- posely designed to goad the Irish people to acts of violence. Yet it is admitted by the most prejudiced tories that agrarian crimes have never been less frequent, but even this desirable state of affairs is made the preteXt for a systematic campaign against the Unit ed league and it's leaders. If their in tiuence is successfully exerted for peaceful agitation it is only the better proof, argues the London Times, that

 The denial of the right of free dis cussion by their elected representa- tives in parliament and the proclama- tion of the Crimes Act are the only answer MT. Balfour consents to make to the Irish demands for reform. It would be contrary to all human eXperi- ence if this attempt of the govern ment to establish gag rule did not stir Irish sympathiZers to renewed activi- ty and win them earnest support not only in Great Britain but in the United States even among those to whom the nationalist cause has been little more than a matter of passing interest," Philadelphia North American.
