mean a change of bosses. The truth
is the republican party can get
along much better without bosses of
either the Rea or Mckenzie stripe.
Republicans will tolerate leaders.
They must have leaders in national,
state and county politics. But
when leader-that is one who has
been selected by his fellow-republi-
cans to set the machinery of the
party in motion, to simply carry out
the will of the majority-assume
the role of dictator, he thereby
raises the banner of bossism, and in
vites his downfall Republicans will
submit to honest, intelligent leader
ship; they will not long submit to
bossism.

pie has been prepared
Average .....S2l5, 81, ,241
ESTIMATED from ten months.

The above average of customs du-
ties under the Dingley law would be
much larger but for the small
amount of the year ending June 80,
1893, the first year of the law. 1t
must be remembered that during
the few months preceding it's enact
ment, enormous quantities of for
eign goods were imported to antici-
pate the higher duties. But the
average for the last three years is
over $240, 100000 or $50, 1000, 600
more than the average of the Will
SON. German law.
Although customs duties do not
regulate our internal revenue, vet
the latter is affected in a great
measure by wise tariff law. Pro-
lection makes prosperity. 1t gives
employment and high wages and
consequently increases the purchas
ing power and consumption of the
people, and the greater the consump-
tion of certain luxuries the greater
the internal revenue. Twice have
the war taxes been repealed, $70,-
QUO, 600 or more altogether, aud yet
our revenue is sufficient for the ex-
penses of the Government, although
expenses have been largely augment
ed by the results of the war and
normal increases in every depart
ment. We have already paid the
Spanish war debt, we are reducing
our national debt every month, and
we have refunded a large part of
our interest bearing debt into 2 per
cents.
Uncle Sam is the only one on
earth who can borrow money at 2
per cent and the bonds be at prem
ium at that.
In other words, the Dingley law
as a revenue measure has proved to
be the most successful of all our pro-
tective tariffs, and as compared or
trasted with the law of 1894 and
previous trade laws it is simply
a case of plus or minus-surplus or
deficit. t.-American Economist.

A Pioneer Called,

Last Monday morning, May II, 1902,
Oliver I. Leach, one of the oldest Of
old timers in this city, having arrived
here from Canada in 1854, died at his
home in this city from cancerous
growth in the neck and throat, the
same having been extending its fatal
roots toward a vital spot for many
months. He was buried in the lone
cemetery on Tuesday, old pioAeers be-
ing pail bearers. A large number OF
friends escorted the remains to the
cemetery. Deceased was never mar
ried. He leaves a mother, five sisters,
and two brothers. many of whom were
in attendance at the funeral. al.-Echo.

The Hon. E. B. Edison is being
brought out as an available repub-
lican candidate for governor. The
feeling is growing stronger, that the
interests of the party demand that
a candidate be selected who will
allay, rather than intensity, the
bitterness that has been, and is still
being manifested by a portion of the
press, which hostility is no doubt
backed by sufficient voting strength
that the party can hardly afford to
despise. The result of the San Jose
fight against the machine will have
its effect upon state politics. Edison
has made creditable record as a
state officer. He comes from the
north, section of the state that has
not been honored with the guber-
material Office for thirty years. The
Gridley Patriot is strongly urging
his candidacy.

Notwithstanding the ever extend
ing area Of human knowledge, it is
as true nov as it was IN the days Of
Newton, and, indeed, as It has been
from time immemoEial, that tEo
great ocean of truth lies undiscover-
ed. The gifted men, engaged in
scientific research, are like children
playing on the shores of that un-
fathomable sea, with the unknown
and the unknowable always confront
ing them. 1t is more than probable
that it will ever be thus. Truth is
infinite. 1t is not possible for finite
beings to explore it in all its breadth
and depths. Man knows a great
deal; the area of his knowledge is
widening every day. The ten year
old ahild knows more today than the
profoundest philosopher of ancient
times. Not that the child of nova
days has greater mental capacity
than the wise men of olden times;
but simply becausa the living of to-
day occupy the plane of advantage
in having gained the experience of
all past ages. We hear occasionally
of lost arts. In some particulars
the ancients excelled the people of
today. Methods known and prac-
ticed by them are unknown to us.
But these instances are rare. AS a
rule, knowledge once acquired is
never again allowed to lapse into OBJ
livion. But the world is apparently
no nearer the limit of discovery than
it was when the race was in its in
fancy.

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages and
that is Catarrah. Halls Catarrah Cure
is the only positive cure now known to
the medical fraternity. Catarrah be-
ing a constitutional disease, requires a
constitutional treatment. Halls Catar-
rah Cure is taken internally, acting
directly upon the blood and mucous
surface of the system, thereby destroy
ing the foundation of the disease, and
and giving the patient strength by
building up the constitutional and as
sisting nature in doing its work. The
proprietors have so much faith in its
curative powers, that they offer one
Hundred Dollars for any case it fails to
cure. Send for list of testimonials.

The Cuban nation was fairly
launched as free and independent
power last Tuesday. The promise of
the United States to withdraw its
authority and retire from the island
as soon as the native government
was established. has been redeemed.
The war with Spain was waged to
free Cuba, not to substitute the stars
and stripes for the flag of Spain. 1t
was freely predicted by those hostile
to the administration that our troops
would never be withdrawn; that the
American flag was hoisted over Cuba
to stay; but all these predictions
against the honor of this govern
ment have been falsifed by the
course of events. We have accom-
plished all that we started out to ac-
complish for the oppressed island
people. Their future veal rests
with themselves. We have no sym
pathy with that element in the
United States that argues because
we have done so much for Cuba, we
are in duty bound to do more; that
we ought to insure the commercial
prosperity of the Cubans, even to
the extent of iniuring some of our
home industries. We are not san
guine of the stability or prosperity
of Cuba under the Cuban flag. 1t
remains to be seen whether they are
fitted for self-government; whether
they will be more contented and
prosperous under laws of their own
making than under the yoke of a
foreign power. The outcome of that
problem will be watched with
interest.
