QUEER VIEWS OF THE MISSION OF
PRINCE HENRY.

A Berlin dispatch published in the
New York Herald says that one of the
main objects of Prince Henry's trip
to the United States is to cultivate
friendly relations between Germany
and the United States and to convince
the members of the Foreign Relations
Committee of the United States SEN
ate that much friction might be avoid
ed by ratifying the reciprocity treaty
that was negotiated between the Unit
ed States and Germany by John A
Kasson
1t is practically certain that the
Prince is not charged with any such
mission. He has had no chance to come
in contact with the members of the
Foreign Relations Committee, and he
will have none. 1t is doubtful if the
Prince knows anything about the
treaty to which the Berlin dispatch
calls attention. 1t is certain that the
members of the Foreign Relations
Committee would not be Influenced by
anything the Prince might say in be-
half of the reciprocity treaty, if he
were charged with a mission in re-
gard to it.
If Germany were DESTROYS of hav-
ing that treaty ratified she would
make known her wishes through her
ambassador at Washington. She would
not assign that task to Prince Henry,
who has no experience in such mat
ters. The Berlin people must have a
rather queer idea of the purpose of
Prince Henry's visit. The Emperor
William stated it fully before the
Prince started on his trip, and the
Prince has stated it dozens of times
since his arrival. BY this time the
Berlin people ought to be satisfied as
to what it is. The American people
have had no trouble in reaching a
conclusion in regard to it. And there
is no doubt that it is the correct one.
The Berlin people do not place as
much confidence in their newspapers
as are put in American papers by the
American people.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Washington Post Qnd) says:
England will have a glorious chance
to get even with us for this Prince
Henry business by taking up Crow
ninshleld and entertaining him as d
representative of American valor.'
The Cleveland Plain-Dealer Dem.)
says: 1T is safe to predict that should
President Roosevelt decide to go to
Charleston he win receive an enthu-
siastic welcome from the South Caro-
Unions. a welcome all the more hearty
and demonstrative because of the
stigma the two Tillmans have sought
to place on the courtesy and chivalry
of their state"
The Louisville CourierJournal
(Dem) says THE Boston Transcript
puts the case in a sentence when 1t
says that "a concession of 20 per cent.
to Cuba would be simply acknowledge
ing our obligations without fulfilling
them. In the matter of tariff laws,
however. the Republican party is al
ways opposed to fulfilling any obiga-
tons except those of staying bought
when bought by the recipients of the
tariff bounties.'
The New York Times (Dem) says:
obviously, the proper and business
like way to promote the building up
of an American mercantile marine
would be to grant registers to all yes
sells owned by Americans, without
subsidy. We see the ownership of mer-
chant steamers by Americans con-
stantly increasing. and until the trade
reverse comes that is expected sooner
or later. the PROCESS will not abate.
We can have all the vessels We can
run to advantage. There is no doubt
about that. But that is not what the
subsidy beggars are after. They want
the money from the Treasury is,
the money of the taXpayers-to swell
their profits. This is the real purpose
of the present bill and all the talk

How the Bishop Had His Smoke.

Queen Victoria had as a matter Of
fact, the greatest objection to smok-
ing, and would not allow a smoking
room in any of the royal palaces I'M
til comparatively recently, says the
Cincinnati Inquirer. On one occasion,
after being hospitality received at
Windsor Castle, Bishop Phillips
Brooks was shown to his room and soon
proceeded to light his accustomed ci-
gar.
Presently the smoke reached the nos
trils of a custodian somewhere not
far away who came to the door and
asked the guest not to smoke, as it
was forbidden. Bishop Brooks went
into the corridor and continued smok-
ing there. The custodian again begged
him to desist.
The Bishop went back to his room
and out upon the balcony and resumed
his cigar, thinking that he was now in
the open air.
Again the custodian came, this time
passing through the Bishops room, and
said:
Smoking is not permitted sir, in
any part of Windsor Castle
Once more he disappeared, and
Brooks, who gave up a cigar with
great reluctance when he had once
lighted it, returned to his room.
A happy thought occurred to him.
There was an open fireplace in his
room. The Bishop lay down on his
back on the floor, put his head up into
the chimney and began to smoke there.
This time he was undisturbed. Before,
the smell of the cigar had betrayed
him: now the smoke went UP the
chimney.
The cigar was finished in peace

stock Exchange Seat. 80.

Seats on the Philadelphia Stock Ex-
change are worth about $4,000 each
nowadays, says the New York Com
mercial. But a seat was actually sold
in that body the other day for IS,
cash. This is how it happened:
1t was one of those stormy days a
week or two ago when business was
unusually dull on the floor of the Ex-
change. AS it was noon-time, compar-
atively few brokers were on the floor.
Only three or four were offering
stocks. Quickly rising from chair
one of the brokers cried out in a voice
that attracted the attention of every
one that heard it:
'I'll sell my seat for 49,"
"Tll take it," Immediately shouted
another.
Il mean the seat of my trousers, "
replied the man who had made the
offer.
I'll take it anyway unhesitatingly
cried the broker who had accepted it.
Several seized and held the rash Of
ferer while another carefully cut out
the seat of his trousers with a pen
knife. 1t was handed to the buyer, who
Solemnly paid the 49,"

Can 1 get a dollar on this?" asked
a well-dressed man as he rendered a
handsome fur-lined overcoat to the
pawnbroker. says the Portland Ex-
press.

money loaner, visibly surprised, land
a lot more, if you want it,"
mo; one dollars enough was the
mans answer, as he took the ticket
after the usual preliminaries had been
gone through with.
Later in the day the owner of the
coat came back, paid the pawnbroker
the dollar with the legal charge of 3
cents, and took his property back.
Say" said the man of loans. hand
ing over the coat regretfully, you're
a queer customer Don't you know
you might have left the garment here
for a month and it would only have
cost you 8 cents, just what you have
paid for the use of the dollar for one
day."
"Oh, l didn't need the dollar" an
swered the customer, and in proof of
his assertion he pulled out a roll of
bills. large enough to choke a cow"
as a sporting man would say.
That beats me-" said the pawn
broker now thoroughly interested.
What did you pawn it for then?"
Simply for safe-keeping," coOlly re-
piled the customer. You see, it's like
this. It's a warm day and 1 didn't
want to lug the coat around with me.

I'm only in town between trains. At

BRYAN's POPULARITY ON THE
WANE

We have called attention number
of times to the resolution introduced
into the lower House of the Legisla-
ture Of Mississippi recommending an
alliance-business and political-be-
/ tween the South and the North and
East. The resolution was acted on last
/ Tuesday, and was adopted almost
unanimously.
/ That action was doubtless somewhat
of surprise to the politicians in all
parts of the country Pending action
on the resolution some of Mr.. Bryan's
admirers attempted to say a word in
his behalf. but they were not given a
chance to speak. The reports say they
were hooted down.
This action of the Mississippi Legis-
lature indicates a very marked change
in political sentiment in Mississippi
within the last two years. 1t seems to
justify the opinion that the wing of
the Democratic party that is in SYM
pathy with Mr.. Bryan has lost it's in
fluence in that state
Has it lost its influence in the other
states of the South? That is very
important question at this time. If
Mr.. Bryan no longer has an influential
following in the South it is practically
certain that the Democratic National
platform in 1904 will differ in several
important particulars from that of the
Kansas City platform. The South will
stand with the North and East in the
making of the platform, and also in
nominating the ticket
No doubt steps will be taken in the
near future to find out just what the
attitude of the Southern states is to-
wards those declarations in the Kansas
City platform which are regarded as
having the stamp of Bryan On them.
Now that one Southern state has
spoken on that subject the desire to
have an expression from other states
of the South will become very general.
1t is noticeable that some of the
Northern Democrats are Directing 70
Representative Griggs of this state as
chairman of the congressional cam
paign committee. That committee is to
NC iSOI SdulIeu, ana IL is understood
that it is the purpose of Representative
Richardson to retire from the chair
manship.
The position taken by the Northern
Democrats is that Representative
Griggs is unacquainted with the polit-
ical conditions at the North and East
where the Democrats will have to
fight for what they get. that he is
from the South where the Democrats
are certain of everything and that
therefore a Northern or an Eastern
man ought to be made chairman of the
committee
1t is probable, however that the real
opposition to Congressman Griggs is
the fear that he is not in sympathy
with the political views entertained by
Northern and Eastern Democrats. If
Mr.. Griggs is in sympathy with the
action taken by the Mississippi Legis-
lature, it is probable that Northern
and Eastern Democrats would have no
objection to him as the, manager of the
Democratic campaign for Congressman.
1t is apparent therefore that it is very
important to know just how the other
Southern states stand in respect to the
question raised by the McAllister reso-
luton.

THE Cuban question threatens to
become sword thrust into the vitals
of the Republican party" says the
New York Evening Post. The Republi-
cans. indeed, are furnishing the Dem
ocrats with all sorts OF weapons that
may be turned against them in the
next campaign; the Cuban sword, the
Philippine club and the ship subsidy
bomb. 1t now only remains for the
Democrats to get together and make
the best possible use of the weapons
provided for them by their friend, the
enemy.

THE REFORMATORY QUESTION.

There ought to be no difficulty in
to the youthful criminals of the coun-
ty. They ought of course to be kept
separate from the hardened criminals.
That is matter that has been dis
cussed often in the public prints and
out of them. but for some reason or
other nothing has been done about it.
1t locks now as if something would
be done. The County Commissioners
have expressed willingness to pro
vide a reformatory or an industrial
farm for the boys and girls who are
so unfortunate as to become convicts.
1t seems to us that the youthful
criminals can be kept separate with
out much trouble or expense to the
county. There is plenty of uncultivated
land in the county farm. Why not set
apart some of it TOR the exclusive use
of juvenile criminals-the youthful Of
tenders who are serving out their first
sentences? Quarters would, of course,
have to be. provided and there would
have to be guards, but If the farm
were carefully managed it could be
made to yield enough probably to
cover the additional cost.
reformatory where trades are
taught is not just what Is wanted. be-
cause the offenders are not confined
long enough to permit of their learn
ing trades. The most that can be ac-
complished is to teach them to be in
dustrious and to improve their morals.
There is no difficulty in doing what
is necessary to be done and, that too,
without much increase to the ex-
penses of the county

Many people with weak oiges ton, as
we'll as some physicians, consider the
first step to take in attempting to cure
indigestion is to restrict the diet, either
by selecting certain foods and reject
ing others or to cut down the amount
of food eaten to barely enough to keep
soul and body together; in other words,
the starvation plan is by many sup
posed to be the first essential.
All this is radically wrong. 1t is fool
ish and unscientific to recommend diet
ing to a man already suffering from
starvation because indigestion itself
starves every organ, nerve and fibre in
the body.
What people with poor digestion most
need is abundant nutrition, plenty of
good, wholesome, properly cooked food,
and something to assist the weak stom-
ach to digest it.
This is exactly the purpose for which
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are adapted
and the true reason why they cure the
worst cases of stomach trouble.
Eat a sufficient amount of wholesome
food and after each meal take one or
two of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets to
promptly digest it.
In this way the system is nourished
and the overworked stomach rested, be-
cause the tablets will digest the food
whether the stomach works or not one
grain of the active digestive principle
in Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets being
sufficient to digest 5000 grains of meat,
eggs or other albuminous food.
DIR. Harlandson and DR.. Redwell rec
ommend these tablets in all cases of
defective digestion because the pepsin
and diastase in them are absolutely
free from animal matter and other i'm
purities, and being pleasant to the taste
are as safe and harmless for the child
as for the adult.
All drug stores sell this excellent
preparation, and the daily use of them
after meals will be of great benefit, not
only as an immediate relief but to per-
manently build up an invigorate the di-
