- A sallow complexion, dizziness, =
biliousness and q coated tongue
are common indications of liver
and kidney diseases. Stomach and
bowel troubles, severe as they are,
give immediate warning by pain,
but liver and kidney troubles,
though less painful at the start, are
much harder to cure. Thedford's
Black-Draught never fails to bene-

to throw of the germs of fever and

The Cost ofEmpire.

Fifty-seven thousand six hundred
and forty-siX persons who say they
were invalided by their service in the
Spanish-American war have applied to
the United States government for
pensions.
Eight thousand three hundred and
ninety persons have applied for pen
siOns on the ground that the Spanish
American war made them widows
and dependents
The claims of 9,SS1 persons for in
valids' pensions have been allowed and
3,16O widows and dependents have
been pensioned. The applications are
pouring in daily and it is estimated
that before the end of the current
year so per cent Of the soldiers in the
war or their heirs will have applied
for pensions.
Commenting on this, the Dubuque
Telegraph says: ''The annual
outlay of millions of dollars is re-
quired to satisfy the pension vouch-
ers. Our foreign wars have already
cost us billions of dollars and the
lives of thousands of our soldiers.
And all for what? We freed Cuba:
that is a good deal. But we did not
free the FilipinOs and we refuse to
treat them as we have treated Cuba.
What does the campaign in the Phil
ippines mean to the American ma
ton? That every two years fresh
draught of men shall be drawn from
this country and that every ship shall
bring back hundreds in their collins
and hundreds more in the insane
wards; that we shall continue to pour
money into the Philippine rat hole
and put thousands more lives on the
sacrificial altar of Imperialism. The
gain is nothing. The loss is figured in
lives, in dollars, in honor and in pres
tipe''

Labor has also advanced to meet the
increased cost of living.
The Star never changed it's sub
scription rate because it knew to do
so was to lose money. The afternoon
papers have come to this conclusion,
as the Star knew they would if they
considered, as they must, the ques-
ton of conducting a paying business.
The newspaper is much different
from other enterprises. The average
concern can cut down expenses in
duh period. But not so with news
papers. The same number of men is
employed the year round. To publish
less matter, to issue smaller sized
paper or give less news, is quickly re-
scented by the average reader. In con-
sequence the publisher is always
striving to excel. Very often the
question of expense can not be con-
sidered. The one purpose is to get
the news regardless of expense.

special correspondent at Wash
ington writes: "Since the return of
the president to his little cheese-boX
with his postmaster general and has
told him to get off the lid and let the
stink come out. The latter is going
to obey him by getting out of town
and allow his subordinates to stand
the stencil. 1t is well known that Mr..
Payne suffers with acute indigestion
and his stomach is not strong enough
to stand this thing any longer. Those
of us who are compelled to live in
close proximity to the rottenness and
corruption emanating from the post
office department do not blame him.
The investigation goes 'bravely on
so it is said. but it is remarked here
that after all the replies to Mr.. Tul-
loch's charges are boiled down to the
they have refuted anything he has
charged has been by calling him AN
other 1t is a noteworthy fact to be
borne in mind that all the replies to
Mr.. Tulloch's charges have been given
to- the public with the exceptions of
the reply of Mr.. Bristow, the fourth
assistant postmaster general. The
reason il is believed here is because
Mr.. Bristow has corroborated Mr.
Tulloch's charges in almost every inn
portant particular. 1t Will take

TariG Reform Demanded.


The Minnesota Republicans are de-
handing reciprocity with Canada, and
the counsel of the branch in that state
of the Reciprocity league reports that
at must not trust to senators and rep
resentatives carrying it through simply
because it Is n good thing for the coun-
try" He found that the protected in
tereSts opposed to it made very siren
uous and effective efforts against it."
The Minnesota Republicans are vast
ing their efforts. The only relief from
the present protective tariff which him
ders them trading with Canada Is on
the line of tariff reduction, and that
the Republican leaders have deter
mined they shall not get. If they can
coerce the Republican members of con-
gress from Minnesota to join John
A1nd, the only Democratic member, in
voting for tariff revision they may
have some show of success, for other
Republican congressman may be in
duced by their constituents to join in
such u movement. The voters who are
being pinched by high prices should
call on their members to champion tar
if reform.

Expense of Newspaper Publication.

The Rockford afternoon newspa-
pers, the Republic and Register-Ga-
zette, have decided to raise the price
of their output from six to 10 cents a
week.
The Star, the morning paper of the
same city, says it has always marvel
ed how the publishers ever managed
to thrive in producing newspaper
at penny copy. Everything that
enters into the making of newspa-
per has advanced. Labor is higher,
paper. ink, metal and in fact every
thing that enters into the production
of paper is higher.
Moreover, the cost of living has in
creased at least 40 per cent. Every
industry, every mercantile house in
the country has recognized this and
has added to the price of its output

CUBA TO COPY FROM AMERICA

CUBA TO COPY FROM AMERICA.
The Cuban government has decided to
adopt our system OF government in its
foreign department, and to that end
are obtaining all the available datapos-
ible. Imitation is the best evidence
of the value of our system of govern
ment, and in medicine the same is also
true. Consider Hostetter's stomach
Bitters for a moment. During the
past fifty years it has established an
unequalled record Of cures of stomach
ills, and because of its wonderful sue
cess is being widely initiated. In some
cases the bogus article is used to re-
an the genuine Hostetter bottles. Be-
ware of all such limitations. The gem
uine is sold only in bottles securely
sealed with a private stamp over the
neck. 1t positively cures dizziness,
headache. nausea. indigestion, dyspep-
sia, and malaria. Don't fail to try it..
