TENDENCY OF THE TIMES.

The tendency of medical science is toward preventive measures. The best thought of the world is being given to the subject. 1t is easier and better to prevent than to cure. It has been fully demonstrated that pneumonia, one of the most dangerous diseases that medi- cal men have to contend with, can be prevented by the use of Chamberlain's s Cough Remedy. Pneumonia always re- suits from cold or from an attack of influenza (grip), ,and it has been observed that this remedy counteracts any ten dency of these diseases toward pneu- monia. This has been fully proven in many thousands of cases in which this remedy has been used during the great prevalence of colds and grip in recent years. and can be relied upon with inn plicit confidence. Pneumonia often re- suits from slight cold when no dan- ger is apprehended until it is suddenly discovered that there is fever and diff ,culty in breathing and pains in the chest, then it is announced that the pa- tient has pneumonia. Be on the safe side and take Chamberlains' Cough Remedy as soon as the cold is con- tracted. It always cures. For sale by aW drIIaniStS

A Compromise Measure to Be Offered
 to Lift Senate Deadlock.
 WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.--All indica- tions point to the conclusion of the de- bate on the statehood bill during the present week, but no one can tell at this time just when in the week the change will come or how it will come. If the plans of the Republican leaders who oppose the statehood bill are put Into effect, the committee on territories will bring in a substitute bill provid- ing for consolidation and the admis- sion of two states.
 These will be New Mexico and Ari- Eona under one banner and Oklahoma, with a provision for the subsequent adding of the Indian Territory, as the other It is understood the latter ter ritory will come in when the Indian land allotment has been concluded.
 The details of the compromise pro- vide that the consolidation of the ter ritories of New Mexico and Arizona as one state under the name of Arizona shall have Santa Fe for it's capital for the term of ten years. when the ques- ton of location will be submitted to a vote of the people. The Republican senators, including Mir. Quay, have al ready indorsed the compromise, and it is believed the Democrats will not stand in the way of it's adoption.

There was hardly any need of Rev Dr Davenport writing the letter which we carry in our columns to-day to show his attitude on the strike question. His sermon was plain enough. 1t favored the side of both the strikers and the company, so far as their rights go. It favored q days pay for q days work, and it favored the right of the com pany to employ and discharge without consulting the strikers. True, it was a little stronger on some points than some of the reports heretofore present ed on this subject. In his letter Dr Davenport asks the men to go back to work. Now, doesn't the reverend gen. demand know that such move is inn possible. The company refuses to take back more than twenty-five of them, so it is useless to ask them to go back if Manager SeweH will not employ them. The Sunday sermon was all right. It didn't advocate taking away the rights of the company, even though pleading for proper treatment for the men in the way of pay, hours and unions.

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1903.

Th> representatives of the European powers and Minister Bowen, represent ing Venezuela, are still discussing the terms by which the debt of that coun- try shall be defrayed. The demand or the allies that 20 per cent of the GUS toms receipts of La Guira and Puerto Cabello be paid to the allies and the remaining 10 per cent to the other claimants-Ve Venezuela having offered 90 per cent of such receipts in payment of her debts-was promptly and de- cidedly refused by MT Bowen with a reiteration of the suggestion that the matter be referred to the Hague tri- bunal. as President Roosevelt had first advised. The allies are, however, op- posed to any reference to the Hague, and are continuin the negotiations. MT Bowen, Baron Sternburg and Sir Michael Herbert have all told our cor- respondent within the past twenty-four hours that they look for satisfactory settlement of the difficulty, in Wash ington, this week.

WHO GAN HE BE?'

The game ssWho Gan He Be?" is in- structive, and also helps to refresh the memory. One of the party selects q historical parsonage without naming him, and relates an anecdote or any thing that is interesting about him, and names the country in which he lived. The player who guesses the name-having previously the privilege of asking one question-gives de- scription of another character, and so the game progresses. Here is an ex- ample:
 There was.a celebrated Swiss, famous archer, champion of liberty, and who was the first to strike blow for freedom. He refused to bow to the Austrian governors hat, that had been placed on a pole, that all should do homage to it; and, as punishment for his disobedience, he was ordered to shoot an arrow at an apple placed on his sons head, or else the son should be put to immediate death be- fore his sight With horror at the fearful alternative he at first refused, begging that vengeance might fall on him only, but the son assured him that he did not fear the result, and begged him to make the trial. He yielded to his persuasions, took aim, drew his bow and struck the apple without injurihg his son. Who was hep

THE ANTITRUST BILL.
Mamy of the Opinion That the Little
 field Bill Is ssHarmIess.'s


 WASHINGTON Feb. 9.-There is a wide difference of opinion in regard to the efficiency of the antitrust bill passed by unanimous vote, 245 to O, in the house. The closing chapter was devoid of excitement. For three hours the Democrats offered a series of amendments designed to place. teeth" in the bill, but they were either ruled out of order or voted down by a strict party vote.
 Many statesmen about the capitol who are in good position to judge are of the same opinion as Congressman Sulzer, who on the floor of the house charged that the bill had been drawn by trust lawyers in New York. He said that at one time he thought MT. Little. field was sincere, but that he was now reluctantly compelled to give the opin- ion that the bill of the trust buster from Maine" was seven pounds light CT than a straw hat" MT. Sulzer said he believed the president was honestly attempting to accomplish something. The difficulty was that his party would not support him. The pending bill, he declared, was as intellectual as putty blower would be to stop an elephant on the rampage

Not nissatisfied will Taft.

ROME, Feb. 9.-The Vatican en- phatically denies all the rumors of Cardinal Rampolla's dissa tisfaction re- garding Governor Taft's attitude in the Philippine questions. Dissatisfac- ton is felt at the Vatican toward the arrangements initiated by Mgr. Guidfs predecessors with the mediators, to whom, in addition to large salaries, they promised 25 per cent of the prop erty the mediators should succeed in retaining for the church. The effect of Mgr. Guidi's latest reports and ma- ture considera ton seems to have decid- ed the Vatican that the best solution is to return to the original proposition made by the United States to resort to arbitration for the purchase of the friar lands, the settlement of the rentals, the indemnity for damage due from the United States and the admin istratioD of the charitable and educa- tional trusts.

WAYCROSS, Ga, Feb. 9.-Meager details of riot which occurred be- tween two white men and a crowd of negroes at Beach's Still have just reached this city. Two negroes are said to have been killed and nine others wounded, one of them mortally. Three of the wounded were women, but their injuries are not serious. The shooting was done while negro festival was in progress about ii o'clock Saturday night The report is that two white men we'll known in that section went to the festival and after having a little difficulty with some of the negroes locked the two doors of the building in which the negroes were dancing and commenced firing into the crowd with shotguns. The house was quickly cleared of all except some of the wounded. and the men are said to have entered the building and tied the wounded and dead negroes together.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-The publi- cation of tl1e story that John D. Rocke- feller had sent telegrams to a number Df senators declaring that the Standard Oil company was opposed to the enact ment of any antitrust legislation and directing that all such legislation must be stopped created q decided sensation. 1t is understood that the story emanat- ed from the White House or from per sons whose relations with the president are so close as to give their statements the force of semioficial utterances. The most industrious efforts have failed, however, to reveal single man who has received the telegram alleged to have been sent by MT. Rockefeller to a half dozen or more senators or any man who has seen such a telegram.

Reviewing the sSsenate program" a
 prominent democratic senator, who re- quested his name be withheld, said to
 Washington correspondent that ssanti-
 trust legislation by the republican party was bound to be farce. It is ridiculous to suppose that the republi- cans are going to enact legislation which would curtail the profits or be otherwise objectionable to the very in
 terests which have sent them here and Keep them ill congress. Some of the provisions are fairly good. The $500 900 for the attorney general is all right if it is properly administered, but that is large if. If, as is probable, it goes to favored attorneys in the republican party, it will be worse than wasted. The Elkins bill is all right as far as it goes. It should have been enacted years ago, however, and will now be powerless to affect the numerous trusts which have grown up in the past be cause of it's non-existence. The pub licity bill is a farce. Statistics are to be gathered, it is true, but what then !? They are not to be published, except as the president may direct. There will be a close relationship between the statistics published and the gen. erosity with which contributions are made to the republican campaign funds. It is merely q great club to be held over the trusts by the republican campaign managers. Incidentally, how d0 you suppose these northwestern re

Senator Mark Hanna has introduced it's barefaced purpose of catching the negro vote and offsetting the negro ap- pointments of President roosevelt, would be ludicrous were it not capable of being made the means of defrauding thousands of ignorant and trusting peO- pie. Senator Hanna's bill proposes to pension every ex-slave and the relatives of such ex-slaves as have elder mem bers of their families dependent on them. The pensions are to vary from $4 per month for slaves under 50 to $15 per month for slaves 70 and over. Moreover, bonuses are to be paid to such as prove eligible for pensions ranging from $10O for those aged 30 to $500 for those 70 and over. As soon as the bill was introduced, MT Hanna was seen by correspondent and frankly admitted that he had no inten- tion of urging the measure and never expected it to become a law. When asked why he had introduced it, he said he had done so at the request of a friend and merely wished to be accom- nodating. Asked if the friend was going to be his campaign manager in 1904, MT Hanna refused to answer. Commissioner Ware, when seen the next day, said that the Hanna bill would almost bankrupt the govern ment if it were to become law. Evi- dence sas to who were and who were not ex-slaves would be practically i'm possible to procure and the law would be made the excuse for voting thou sands of private pensions to negroes by legislators anxious to secure the negro vote.
