Democrats and republicans alike have always denounced the English policy of the opium monopoly in India and the opening of the Chinese empire to the opium trade, but our present ad- ministration appears to now approve it for even a worse opium system is to be forced on the Philippines. The exclu- sive right to run opium joints in those islands is to be sold at auction, law for that purpose having been prepared, and is now before the Philippine com mission. This bill is coated so that the American people will be able to 'swal- low it. In order to prepare the Ameri- can public for the proposal, the war. de- partment lately has been giving out vague information to the correspon- dents about new opium laws designed to restrict the use of opium" and that the money derived therefrom was to be used for educating young Filipinos in American schools, as prospective teach CTS for the islands. A strong protest has been made to President Roosevelt to stop the iniquitous trafhc or at least not make this government 8 party to it by participating in the proceeds. The nefarious plan seems to be pet meas ure of the secretary of war, and 1t is feared that the influence he exerts over the president will more than offset the protests that have been made.

TRADE CONDITIONS.
D.. c. Dun & Co. Report Outlook Not
 ms Good ms It Has Been.

D. c. Dun & Co. Report outlook Not
 ns Good as It Has Been. 1 NEW YORK. June 27.-R. G. Dun &s Co.'S weekly review of trade says:
 No definitely unfavorable clement is apparent in the business situation, but there are several uncertainties that en- gender conservatism. Tn regard to dis tribution of merchandise, the long pe- riod of low temperature has curtailed trade in dry, goods, clothing and other seasonable lines, Stocks have accumu- lated, and prospects for semiannual in- ventories are not altogether encourag- ing. Regarding crop progress, there is also sufficient uncertainty to maintain high prices for grain, while the manip- ulated position of cotton is a menace to the industry. Labor controversies still harass many branches of business, the building trades of this city and the textile mills at Philadelphia being com pletely demoralized, while minor strug gles are in progress elsewhere.
 Even in finance there is some ques- ton as to the future, although money is now abundant and comparatively easy. In two months over $22,o00,0 GOO in gold has been exported, and rates of exchange do not yield materially. while decline of about S24 per share in the average quotation of the sixty active railways from the high record of last September has failed to attract any liberal investment demand. There is no cause for alarm in any one or all of these symptoms, yet 1t is not sur prising that a feeling of caution exists, and many undertakings are postponed pending a restoration of normal con- ditions.
 Foreign trade at this port for the last week shows an increase of $994,741 in value of merchandise exported, while a decrease of $68O,eT4 occurred in i'm ports as compared with the correspond ing week in 1902.

EDWARDS BIRTHDAY.

King Rode on Horseback For the
 First Time Since His Illness.
 LONDON, June 2T.--King Edwards s birthday was officially celebrated in London and at all the home naval and military stations. All the government buildings were decorated with flags, salutes were fired, the war ships at all the ports dressed ship and the troops were reviewed.
 The main feature was the trooping of the colors on the Horse guards pa rade here, which the king attended on horseback. This was the first time he had ridden since his last illness, The parade ground presented a highly pie turesque scene. Queen Alexandra, the Princess of Wales, the Duchess of Al bany, the Duke and Duchess of Fife, the Duchess of Connaught, Princess Henry of Battenberg and the khedive of Egypt occupied seats in the central window of the Horse guards building.
 Many Americans were present, in cluding the staff of the United States embassy and the American rifle team, who were under the guidance of Major General Lord Cheylesmore.
 The king, who wore the uniform of colonel of the Grenadier guards, rode on the ground surrounded by bril- liant staff, including the Prince of Wales. the Duke of Connaught Field Marshal Lord Roberts and others of the headquarters staff.
 Their maiesties returned to Bucking- ham palace heartily cheered by the crowds along the route.

The decision of Judge Thayer last evening on the Sedgwick- Mansfield af- fair should settle the matter for good and for all, and our self-appointed de tectlve, Benjamin Sedgwick, should go away back and attend to his iegiti. mate duties. As for Messrs Peasley and Hunt, it would seem as though they could find other clients enough with out hunting after Sedgwick's lost cause.

 ATLANTA, Ga, June 27.-Three ne- groes were lynched by mob early this morning at Newton, in the southwest ern part of the state, for the murder last Saturday of F. s. Bullard, white man. The three negroes who fired upon Bullard were Wiley Annette, Garfield Mccoy and George Mckinney, though it is stated 1t was the bullet from the latter's pistol that inflicted the mortal wound. The negroes were arrested and placed in jail at Newton. At midnight last night an armed mob surrounded the jail, took the three negroes out and hanged them on the same tree, less than a mile away from the jail. The bodies were so riddled with bullets that all the clothing was shot away.

THE NEWS VALUE OF ADVER-
 TTSTNE.

When you bring new goods into your store-that is important news to the people who are apt to need such goods. When you decide to cut prices on a particular stock of goods-that is real news to the folks who might not have been quite persuaded to purchase these things at the old price. You should realize that your store is an actual news center in these respects; andt your advertising should tell this news withoutunderrating its importance 10 the people.

STANDARD REMEDY CURED
 HER.

Our child, 5 months of age, was nearly dead from starvation November 9. 1902. No milk could be taken and retained on her stomach for months. All hope was gone As a last resort we began giving Standard Remedy as directed by 1T. s. Carroll, general agent, and the result was miraculous. Tn three days small quantity of milk was retained and digested. Tn one month the gain in weight was from 1O52 lbs to fl lbs, and the child is well. We lost one child 16 months old from same cause, which makes the life of this little one doubly dear to us. May this testimonial and the appeal we make through it to the public, especial ly those that are rearing children, re- pay you in part for the happiness you through the Standard Remedy have been the means of giving us May God speed the good work you have but just begun in Waterbury.
