WHENEVER the republican party
has been referred to by knowing ones
as revolutionary party the boilers aud
reiormers turn their eyes towards
heaven and say il cannot be. That this
is the era OF imperialism 10 this country
to a degree greater than ever known
in It's history fnds fresh proof every
day. The war tax repeat bill passed the
House OF Representatives on Monday,
with scarcely one word OF comment,
and not one of discussion. Passed I'M
animously upon motion of Mr.. Rich
ardson. the democratic leader, because,
as it was impossible to offer amend
msDt1, the minority voted to man
for its repeal. Not an imperial govern
meut, when the Speaker OF the House
OF Representatives, t ne body which was
supposed, / be and was intended az, the
forum, where the great masses of the
people should be heard through their
representatives, was summoned to the
White House and closeted with the
President where be received instructions
and three of the members OF the House
decided that there should be no amend
msnts to a great tax measure! Why.
every one imagined this was popular
government and not 40 empire. King
Edward, OF England, tbs German
Kaiser, the English parliament or the
German Rsichstag would not dare
push through 10 day measure that
should be fully explained and discussed.
But, as has before been said, the i'm

The great popularity of Peruna as CO.
tarrb remedy has tempted many people 70
initiate Peruna. A great many so-called
catarrh remedies and catarrhal tonics are
to be found in many drug stores. These
remedies can be procured by the druggist
much cheaper than Peruna. Peruna can
only be obtaiLed at uniform price, and
no druggist can get it cent cheaper.
Thus It is that druggists are tempted to
substitute the cheap limitations OF Peruns
for Peruna. 1t is done every day without
