OF fedcerul BLOCKADE.
London, Dec. 1S.-"If the seizure OF
Venezuelan gunboats does not result
as we all hope, 1t will be necessary to
proceed to blockade"
In the speech in the house of com
mons vest rday. during which Prem
Ter Balfour made the above statement.
he conveyed the impression of posi-.
BILE though as yet unnecessary further
hostilities. but that arbitration on
some basis might be accepted
Immediately after having spoken
these words the premier said that In
the event of blockade no definite diff
ference would be made between the
representatives of neutral powers who
would not be consulted.
He then ridiculed the idea of a
peaceful blockade. When he said
Il think It quite likely that the United
States government would not think
there is such a thing as a peaceful
blockade. and personally take the
same view that evidently blockade
does involve a state Of war;" the house
expressed its appreciation.

Republican Campaign Contri=
button.

Soon after the adjournment of the
Republican state, convention held in
July the people We're promised some
startling disclosures, in which the
state administration and school text
book publishers would be the CEN
trail figures. 1t was inferred from
this that Gov. La Toilette had en-
tered into collision with the school
book monopoly to loot the state
treasury. In due time the expose
came, and of what did it consist?
Simply this That the independent
school book companies had volun-
tarily contributed the sum of $4,000
to the La Toilette campaign fund
and promised an additional contribu
ton of from $1,000 to $4,000 should
Supt. L. D. Harvey be turned down
by the state convention. Mr.. liar
vey belonged to what was known as
the stalwart faction of the party and
stood no more show of being renom-
mated for third term, by distinc-
lively La Toilette convention, than
does King Edward ofbecoming Pres
ident of the United States. The
book companies would, therefore,
have been money ahead. had they
kept out of Badger state politics.
The book companies putting up
the campaign contribution in ques-
ton appeared to have a grievance,
alleging that the American Book
Company, which is in the trust,
stood in with Supt. Harvey to the
exclusion of the independent book
companies, though there was no
charge that Mr.. Harvey received
"rake Off"
1t is the regular and well-known
custom of millionaires and large cor
porations to contribute literally to
political campaign funds, and if this
custom has ever been denounced by
any political conclave it has escaped
our notice. AS the custom suggested
has heretofore seemed to be general
ly accepted as an entirely legitimate
one, why should there now be such
a wall of Indignation over the school
book people of Chicago making the
Republican managers in Wisconsin
their beneficiaries?

THE MILKY WAY.
A System Which Gives Us a Vague
Idea of the Eternity of Space.

A System Which Gives Us Vague
Idea of the Eternity of Space.
The Milky Way, the grandest feature
of the Ornament which bends above
u.s." the hazy path which so majestic
ally bands the whole fabric Of the
skies together, is now known to be
composed Of a grand aggregation of at
least 100000 suns. each as large as
or larger than that which makes vege-
table and animal life an earthly posi-
bility. One is apt when allowing the
mind to revert to the contemplation of
these misty and indistinct astronomical
subjects to measure their magnitude
or attempt to measure it by making
terrestrial comparisons
1t is obvious, however, upon more
mature reflection that such compari-
sons are worse than "odious." The bulk
Of our sun exceeds that of the earth
100000 times, being 600 times great
err than that of the bulk of his whole
train of planets taken collectively. This
being the case, what basis can we use
for calculating the magnitude of 49,
100000 suns, each, as | have said be-
fore, probably larger than that which
gives us heat and light?
The infinite number Of suns which,
taken together, make up the Milky
Way are not set at uniform distance
from our earth or even from our sun.
In fact, they appear to work altogeth-
er independently of either this mum
dane sphere or our glorious orb OF
day." The majority Of them are plant
ed at distance too remote to be even
imperfectly measured or understood.
Some Of them are so near (O that
light, which travels at the rate of
$4,000 miles per second would cross
the distance between us and them in
the period of about an even ten years.
Others, however, are so remote that it
would take a full thousand years for
their light to reach US.

The Limitations of Creed.

"David B. Hill can never be nom
mated for president. At least be-
fore he can accomplish the great am
bition of his life he must contradict
the statement which the Chicago
Record Herald published regarding
him that he never took a drink,
smoked a cigar or kissed a woman"
So they talk who walk ina ''rut, .
but in fact those negative virtues
of Ex-Governor and Ex-senator
David B. Hill "cut no ice" in the
race for office. The same argu-
ment would have been as good
when he was candidate for gov
ernor of the Empire State, or for
United States Senator, to both of
which offices he was elected when
his political friends were in power.

You must be very cautious how you
treat your neighbor in Isle Of Jersey,
for he can have you arrested on the
slightest pretext and If he has a
grudge against you can bring about
such a calamity by simply giving fic-

the nearest lawyer. The latter will de-
nand fine, and should you decline to
pay it he will cause you to be thrown
into prison to await trial. Then, even if
you are acquitted on the ground that
the charge is unfounded, you have alb
solutely no claim against your persecu-
tor, though you may have suffered a
couple of months Imprisonment for
nothing.-London Tit-Btts.

 In letter written from 401 Sixty seventh street. w. Chicago. H., Mrs. Fleharty says the following in regard to Peruna:
 Having lived a very active life as wife and working partner of busy minister, my health failed me few years ago. l lost my husband about the same time, and gradually l seemed to lose health and spirit. My daughter is confirmed invalid, and we both felt great need of an invigorator.
 "One Of my neighbors advised me to fry Peruna. 4 bottle was fnmedi- sfeiy secured and great change took place In my daughters as well as In my own health. Our sppefifes in1- proved very greatly, the digestion seemed much helped, and resffuI sleep soon Improved us, so that we seemed like new women.
 would not be without Peruns for fen times It's COST. Mrs. Anna B. Fiehary.
 What used to be called female dis eases by the medical profession is now called pelvic catarrh. It has been found by experience that catarrhal diseases of the pelvic organs are the cause of most cases of female disease
 Dr. Hartman was among the first of America's great physicians to make this discovery. For forty years he has been treating diseases peculiar to women, and long ago he reached the conclusion that woman entirely free from catarrhal affection of these or gans would not be subject to female disease. He therefore began using Pc runa for these cases and found 1t SC admirably adapted to their permane nt cure that Peruna has now become the most famous remedy for female dis eases ever known. Everywhere the women are using it and praising it Peruna is not palliative simply; il cures by removing the cause of female disease.
 Dr. Hartman has probably cured more women of female ailments thar any other living physician. He makes these cures simply by using and rec ommending Peruna.
