A GOOD THING.

German Syrup is the special prescrip-
ton of DR.. A. Boschee, celebrated Ger
man Physician, and is acknowledged to
be one of the most fortunate discoveries
in Medicine. 1t quickly cures Coughs,
Colds and all Lung troubles of the sever
est nature, removing, as it does, the
cause of the affection and leaving the
parts in a strong and healthy condition.
1t is nat an experimental medicine, but
has stood the test of years, giving salts
faction in every case, which its rapidly
increasing sale every season confirms.
Two million bottles sold annually. Bos-
chee's German Syrup was introduced in
the United States in 1868, and is now
sold in every town and village in the civ
ilized world. Three doses will relieve
any ordinary cough. Price % and 70 cts.

Bryan Renounces Leadership.

Lincoln, Neb., May 29.-In an ex-
tended article in the COmmoner of today
Mr.. Bryan renOunces all claim of desire
to leadership of the democratic party.
At the same time he states that need of
a silver standard is as evident now as it
ever was. On the question of party
leadership he says:
"The editor of the Commoner is not
seeking leadership. Neither is he con-
cerned about his political position in
future years. No man is in position to
do his duty who is controlled by the
ambition to be a leader, or who is al
ways looking out for his own political
future. Leadership is not secured in
that way, neither can one insure his
political position in future years by CEN
tering his thoughts upon his own in
terests.
1.-The advocates of the Chicago and Kansas
City platforms have shown their willingness
TO suffer for their conditions. Why should
they pretend a confession of error when they
believe that they are right? Why pretend
that the issue is past when it is still upon us
and must remain? Why ignore, for the sake
of few officers, a fierce conflict between
money and manhood? Why delude ourselves
with the belief that a real or even a nominal
victory can be won by a sacrifice of the pe0-
pies interest to the cold, cruel and merciless
dictation Of monopolists and magnates in
whom love of money had extinguished the
feeling of brotherhood 2"

No Glue to the Assassin.

New York, May 29.-The murder of
John Heffernan, at Ardsley-on- Hudson.
last Sunday night, bids fair to remain
unsolved and there is but little chance
that his assailant will ever be caught.
The coroner's jury admit that they have
no clues to work on and have little hope
of fixing the crime on any one. Friends
of Rufus L. Sewall, of Boston, who was
indirectly accused of the crime, are
jubilant over the complete alibi that
young man established before the
coroner The names of two other men
were connected with the crime, in the
testimony given at the inquest, but in so
vague and indirect manner as not to
be considered at all. They were
Edward S. Jaffray, real estate broker,
and member of the most exclusive
society in New York, and ''the coach
man" of Robert Hewitt, the Ardsley
millionaire, whose daughter is to be
married to Mr.. Sewall on next Wednes-
day

Commercial War with America.

London, May 29.-An inspection of
Colonial Secretary Chamberlain's zoll-
verein project shows that it is bound to
have a most important bearing on
Anglo-American trade relations Forty
per cent. of the total American exports
at present go to England, while only
six per cent OF the British exports to
America. An idea Of what the carry
ing out of the project would mean,
financially, to the States may be
gathered from the fact that the British
grain tax of only a shilling hundred
weight costs American wheat and -four
exporters $l5, 000,O 900 a year. Cham
berlain's idea involves practically a
commercial war with America for the
benefit of the Canadian wheat grower,
with a resulting depression to the
American farming and milling indus
tries. The jealously which the Ameri-
can industrial invasion of England has
aroused is likely to stimulate public
support of Chamberlain scheme. The
provincial papers, especially those of
oppose the zollverein and
predict that Chamberlain will end his
great career in a colossal failure.

FRIDAY EVENING. MAY %, 1908.

Under new schedule which went
into effect few days since on the Penn
svlyania Railroad, many of the through
trains between Washington and New
York. the Chicago limited trains and the
seashore limited trains give Phila-
delphia the 60 by, while other trains go
through the city without stopping, thus
50 far as these trains are concerned
making Philadelphia a mere way sta
ton. Many of the through trains be-
tween the east and west, via the Is. ana
O. road, now give Cincinnati the 60 by,
running around instead of through the
Queen city. All of this is to save time
and railroad corporations to achieve this
object respect neither people nor cities
In years gone by when the smaller cities,
money to build railroads, were ignored
which had contributed large sums OF
by their benefciaries, retaliatory meth
dds were resorted to, but these proved
unavailing and the people OF such
cities gradually realized that it was use
less to fight big railroad corporations.
The people in the larger cities are now
coming to the same conclusion and what
the end will be no one knows. In pro-
test against the action of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad the Philadelphia North
American says:
'Twenty years ago-even ten years
ago-this cool and deliberate abandon
ment of Philadelphia as aterminai point
would have raised a mighty howl OF
indignant protest. Competitive lines
would have been appealed to-and not
in vain-to redress the wrong inflicted
upon the community. How is it now?
The RELOCATION of Philadelphia to the
railway rank of way station is noted
in slayish silence or abject fear, while
further ambitious plans for making
Philadelphia tributary to New York are
openly discussed and boldly pushed by
railroad magnates. Mr.. Gould cannot
get to Philadelphia with his Wabash
line any to quick. Philadelphia Is not
going to die of dry rot because of lack OF
railroad competition here"
This calls forth the query; II the
big cities have no redress, what can the
small ones expect?
