treasury balance of $3.50, 600
while reports from Havana indicated
at the time that the treasury balance
to which President Palma fell heir
was approximately $50, 900. What
became of the difference is the en-
barassing question which is being
asked. Did it disappear as did that
famous handsome furniture which
was '1ooted" from the palace at
Havana1 There is every evidence
about the report of the Insular
bureau of desire to make the best
possible showing for the administra-
ton OF General Wood but when il
comes to the actual figures there
appears TO be a discrepancy which
is unaccountable. While the report
goes into great detail in regard 10
reforms, which it is alleged General
Wood inaugurated in Cuba, it fails
to touch upon any of the details
which we're asked for by Congress.
No statement of the expenses of the
palace is to be found in its pages.
Neither is there any statement of the
amount spent by the General for
the education of public sentiments
in the United States" OF course
1t is inconceivable that these figures
will be absolutely suppressed in the
face of demand for them by Con-
gress, but they will in all probability,
be Withheld from public scrutiny un-
til after the elections and will then
be unearthed at time when public
attention will be occupied with
watching the national legislature.
IT.
Nothing more imperailistic has
occurred during the administration
of President Roosevelt than the dis
charge of Miss Taylor, an employee
of the War Department, which took
place recently. Miss Taylor claim
ed that her discharge was due to her
criticism of the policy of the adj
ministration in the public print but
that claim was regarded with con-
siderable skepticism until Secretary
Root filed reply to a mandamus,
issued by the courts at Miss Taylor's
request, compelling the Secretary to
show cause. The sum and substance
of Mr.. Roots reply is 10 the effect
that Miss Taylor had been guilty of
''less majestic" in that she had
severely criticised President Roose-
Welt and the imperialistic policy of
the administration and therefore
"for the good of the service" he
ordered her dismissal

Persons returning from Oyster
Bay claim that the President is
greatly exercised over the long con-
tinuation of the coal strike. They
say he fears that it is going to entail
great hardship on the poor people
as soon as the cold weather sets in
and that it will have bad effect on
the elections. Moreover, it is being
recalled that during the administra-
ton of the late President Mckinley
Mr.. Hnna stepped in and settled a
similar strike and now that Mr..
Roosevelt is at the helm it is freely
asked why cannot he do likewise.
1t is well known that the coal opera
tors made money out of the last
strike and they, of course, have no
interest at stake but meanwhile the
people arc already suffering. Indus
tries are being crippled for want OF
proper fuel and incalculable damage
is being done in certain cities where
a shortage Of anthracite has com.

Vanderbilt interests to make the

1t is also freely predicted that the
time is not far distant when Mr..
Justice Shiras will resign and the
President will have an opportunity of
naming his successor. 1t is claimed
that the Pennsylvania congressional
delegation has already made over
lures to the President looking to the
appointment of Justice J. Fay Brown
of the Supreme court of that state to
succeed Mr.. Justice Shiras. Next
FEBRUARY, Chief Justice Fuller will
celebrate his SEVENTEEN birthday, at
which time he will have attained the
statutory age for retirement. Mr..
Justice Fuller is still in excellent
health and it is deemed pr obable
that he will remain on the bench for
some time thereafter but that does
not prevent wires being pulled for
the nomination of his successor who,
it is claimed by the politicians, will
be Senator Spooner of Wisconsin.
Certain Democrats in Washingto on
are wondering of what avail Mr..
will find his browbeating abilities,
on the Supreme bench.

WASHINGTON Aug. IS, iooa.--
The appointment OF Judge Oliver
Wendell Holmes. of the Supreme
Court Of Massachusetts,, to the Sup
RENE Bench to succeed Mr.. Justice
Gray. resigned. has given rise in
Washington to some extremely inter-
esting gossip. II Is now claimed
that it was Justice Gray who. at the
eleventh hour, changed his vote on
the income tax bill, and not Justice
Shiras, as has hitherto been suppos-
ed. 1t is also alleged that Judge
Holmes is thoroughly anti-imperial-
ist in his views. Under these cir
cumstances the questions which are
being discussed are, were an income
tax law to be passed now, would the
Supreme Court hold il TO be con.
stitutionalf and, Were il possible to
again bring before the Supreme
Court, in different form of course,
the question Of imposing a tariff on
goods coming from the insular pos
sessions OF the United States across
its borders, would the Court reverse
its former position and hold that
federal taxation must be uniform in
all of the territory controlled by the
United States1 1t is freely predicted
that, in view OF the vast aggregations
OF wealth which many regard as a
menace to the country, the know
ledge that the Supreme Court would
uphold an income tax would insure
the election of democratic Con-
gress as fast as the present repub-
lean complexion of the Senate
would permit. The tax would be a
popular one with the vast majority
of the people and, if such a plan
can be arrived at, the democrats in
Congress will endeavor to secure
the enactment of some law which
will necessitate the demonstration of
its position by the court. Ofcourse
any open attempt to secure such evi
dence would be defeated by the re.
publicans as long as they are in the
majority.

Osculatory Precautions.

The Missouri Valley Homeopathic
Medical association has solemnly decreed
that kissing is not only futile but danger
Gus, and particularly so in the case of
OSCILLATION of babies and aged persons.
While we are not under the jurisdiction
of the Missouri Valley conference we
are willing to take good advicefrom any
body, and we are much obliged to the
doctors for timely suggestion. Here
after we shall suit our kisses to home
opathic principles, and shall deny our
selves the pleasure of kissing old ladies
and young children combining our modest
and temperate efforts to healthy young
women VINO are robust enough to throw
off germs and attractive enough not to

other contagious ailments, and it will

the whoop of the Indian warned of a
dreadful danger. She must stand by
her husband, gun in hand
How many women of to-day could
undertake wifehood under such condi-
tions1 Few indeed. Not because the
modern American woman lacks cour-
age, but because she lacks as rule the
physical health which is the indispensa-
bic qualification for a life such as was
lived by the women of the past
That is why good woman may be
bad wife. Virtue and goodness are ex-
cellent things in women, but to guide
house and bear children demands above
all sound physical health.
WOMEN coNvIcrs.
To a great number of women the
house they live in is almost on a par
with a prison. 1t is prison-like in the
monotonous regularity of daily duties;
prison-like in the absence of all pleasure
in what is done or JOY in the doing.
And the reason is to be found in
womanly ill-health. Few women realize
how intimately the general health is re-
lated to the health of the delicate
womanly organs. A woman may suffer
with heart "trouble," disorders of kid
neys, liver or stomach, or with nervous
prostration as result of diseased con-
dition of the womanly organism. Many
such women rdoctor" for years for

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot

There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets
infamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is entire

less the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be DESTROYED for
