Non-Factional Candidate.

1t has been given out upon ap-
parently good authority. that ex-
Lieutenant Governor Emil Baensch
of Manitowoc, is now in the field as
a non-factional candidate for the
Republican nomination for governor
in 1904. 1t is said that he will soon
issue an address making formal
announcement of this fact, and de-
fining his position upon different
questions affecting the welfare OF
the state. While it is probable that
there will be other candidates later,
the candidacy of Mr.. Baensch at
this time will serve as beacon light
for the guidance of both stalwarts
and half-breeds who wish to steer
clear of the shoals of factionalism,
third-termism. and other dangerous
reefs. 1t augurs good to the Re-
publican party in Wisconsin when
a gentleman of MIR. Baensch's char
acter, ability, and standing, inaugu-
rates a anti-factional campaign.

reconstruction" in which he makes
some statements that are peculiarly
interesting, especially when read
with regard to recent incidents
growing out of the present attitude
of the South concerning the rights
of the freedmen and their descend
ants. He says in part:
cit was the desire Of many Re-
publican leaders, especially of Mr..
Sumner and Gen. Grant, that there
should be provision at the national
charge for the education of all the
citizens in the southern states, black
and white, SO far as the states were
unable or unwilling to afford it,
such as had been provided for in the
states of the north for all their citi-
zens. 1t was never contemplated
by them to give the right to vote to
a large number of illiterate citizens,
without ample provision for their
education at the public charge.
Gen. Grant accompanied his otfi-
cial announcement to Congress of
the adoption of the fifteenth amend
ment with an earnest recommended
ton of such provision. Earnest
efforts were made to accomplish this
result by liberal grants from the
national treasury. Many liberal and
patriotic southern Democrats sup
ported it. But it was defeated by
the timidity, or mistaken notions of
economy, of northern statesmen. In
my opinion this defeat accounts for
the failure of the policy of recon
struction so far as it has failed. |
do not believe that self-government
with universal suffrage could be
maintained long in any northern
state, or in any country in the world,
without ample provision for public
education"

The New Hampshire license law,
lately enacted, contains provision
to the effect that any parent or
guardian, or the overseer of the poor
or Justice of the peace may forbid
licensees to sell liquor to persons
who are under their control or who,
IN their judgment, should not be
permitted to purchase. Acting un-
der this clause, as a justice of the
peace, ex-Gov. Goodell, leading
prohibitionist and head Of the Anti
Saloon League, has filed with the
licensees of the town of Hillsboro a
list containing the name of every
male person of mature age in the
town of Antrim, his own place of
residence. Antrim voted no license.
Gov. Goodell says that he had been
asked to post certain persons, and
that he did not know where to leave
off, once he had begun. So he in
cluded himself, his sons, all the
clergymen and seetotalers, along
with the buns, and moderate drink
ers. His action has caused sensa-
ton. 1t is not supposed to be with
in the spirit of the law. If the
courts should uphold it, the act
would require considerable remodel
ling to make it conform to the pur-
pose in view when it was passed.
Otherwise It would be within the
power of any cranky justice of the
peace to brand every person within
his jurisdiction and forbid them all
to buy liquor of any kind for any
purpose of licensee. There are a
whole lot of peculiar ideas and Pc
culiar people to take into considera-
ton in framing liquor system.

An exchange treats with levity
the announcement that w. ]. Bryan
has declared in favor of Richard
Olney for the presidency. The
support of the man who controlled
the action of the two last Democratic
national conventions should not be
treated SO lightly. If Olney should
go into the convention backed by
the New England states, and sup
ported by the strength that Bryan
could doubtless command in the
west, he would make showing
that would weary German, Cleve-
land, Hill, and others.

The Doctors Sitatement.

st. John, Kan, Nov. 16.-This town
has a genuine sensation in the case of
a little boy, the son Of Mr.. and Mrs.
William Mcbride. DR.. Lines, the at
tending physician, says:
Scarlet Fever of q very malignant
type brought this child very near to
death and when the fever left him, he
was semi-paralyZed in the right leg
and right arm. He also lost hearing
in his right ear and his mind was
much affected.
"Hls parents tried another treatment
for a time and when l was recalled I
found that he was having spells very
like Epilepsy and was very bad and
gradually growing worse. l advised
the use Of Dodd's Kidney Pills and in
d short time the child began to i'm
prove. Inside of a week the nervous
spasms or epileptic seizures ceased al
together"
Mr.. and Mrs. Mcbride have made a
sworn statement Of the facts and DR..
Jesse L.. Lines has added his sworn
statement saying that Dodd's Kidney
Pills and nothing else cured the fits.

TROOPS ARE ON
WAY TO PANAMA
Colombia Has Hopes Of Sup
pressing the lsthmian
Rebellion.
A IN SYMPATHY
Not Known What Action the United
States Government Will Take to
Meet the Issue Which Will
Be Raised.

Lima, Peru, Nov. 16.-The Colombian
minister to Peru has published here
cablegrams received from his govern
| ment, dated at Bogota, November TO-
IL and IL respectively. The cablegrams
say that the Colombian government has
taken measures to suppress the itsh-
milan traitors and add that all parties
and all classes ave offered TO the gov
eminent their lives n properties In
defense of the territory.
G%uayaquil, Ecuador, Nov. 14.-Gen-
eral Plaza, president of Ecuador, has
cabled to President Marroquin OF Co.
lombia, sympathizing with him in the
| recent event on the isthmus OF Panama.
President Marroquin has replied,
thanking General Plaza and adding
that Generals Reyes, Caballeros, Osuina
| and Holguin are marching on Panama
with a large army TO subdue the 18th
mians.
Washington, Nov. 16.-Both Secretary
Hay n General Young, the chief OF
the staff of the army, had retired when
the bulletin announcing that an army
from Colombia was marching against
the isthmians came, so hat it was i'm
possible to learn what action the gov
m might take to meet the issue
which will be raised. Runors were
current yesterday that the government
intended to send United States troops
to the isthmus OF Panama, but positive
official denials were made that such
was the intention of the administration
which some time ago asserted It's pur-
pose to prevent fighting that would en-
danger the free transit Of the isthmus.
Scare at Bocas Del Tore.
Colon, Nov. 16.-Cutters from the
American warships were dispatched to
stop the German steamer Markoman-
mia, which was seen two miles off tow
Ing a launch towards the harbor. IT
was thought that the Markomannia
was coming from a Colombian port,
but it appears that she had been char
tered at Bocas del Toro to bring the
alcalde of that port to Colon.
There was a big scare at Bocas del
Toro on the receipt of news via Fort
Limon, Costa Rica, that the Colombian
government was sending 5000 troops
to retake the port, which had already
declared it's allegiance to the new re-
public and the alcalde left on the
Markomannia for Colon for the pur-
pose of obtaining arms and ammuni-
ton with which to equip 500 volunteers
to resist the expected Colombian at
tack. The alcalde, however, has re-
turned to Bocas del Zorro to allay the
fears of the populace and to give as
suranCe that the landing of Colombian
troops there will not be permitted.

MORGAN MAY RETIRE.

keenIy the Criticism of Him,

keenIy the Criticism Of Him.
New York, Nov. 16.-The story that
T. Pierpont Morgan would retire from
business January l, or o thereafter,
.hough denied by Morgan and his
aouse, continues persistently to circu-
ate. 1t is still said, despite denials,
hat Mr.. Morgan will remain actively in
business only till he can settle up his
affairs after New Years.
So persistent did this rumor become
hat Morgan & Co. issued q statement
hat Mr.. Morgan had no intention Of
'etiIing from active business" The
statement did not say, however, wheth-
ar he would quit promoting and confne
himself exclusively to banking bus
ness and this is the kernel of the rum
)r.
1t Is known that Mr.. Morgan has felt
xeenly the criticism directed against
lin because of the shrinkage In the VAL
lie of the steel trust securities and the
nisfortunes Of the ship trust which de-
yeloDed criticism abroad. But he felt
most of all, 1T Is said, the revelations
which have come out of the investiga-
lion into the United States Shipbuild-
ng scandal. Mr.. Morgan's friends say
he has been forced to bear the blame
'or the indiscretions of others.
Within the past ten days Mr.. Nor
gan concluded the purchase Of an Eng
ish estate, the Alderman House, AL
lenham Hertfordshire, and the cable
ram from London announcing the fact
aid he intended to make the place his
residence during a considerable part OF
he year. Mr.. Morgan also has n fine
london home at 13 Princess Gate.
Morgan is in his eth year. He has
oeen working necessarily since 1857.
Since 1864, when he formed the bank
ng firm Of Dabney, Morgan & Co, he
las been conducting financial enter
orises of great import. Since 1869,
when he worsted Jay Gould and reor-
ganized the Albany & Susquehanna
.oad, he has been a financial factor Of
he first magnitude.

InhaIina Radium.

Boston Advertiser: Radium hal
wrought such curative effects in so
many diseases that a new promise now
adays is not regarded with the wonder
that attended the early application OF
this medical metal. But in these success
of the most recent experiments In inhal-
ing the carnations OF radium into the
lungs as a cure for phthisis Commonly
known as consumption there lies the pre-
dlction of even more astounding results
to the medical world. While radium, with
the X-ray and the Finsen violet ray has
been used in cases Of tuberculosis of the
skin, the most sanguine physicians have
not hoped to extend its application to
consumption OF the lungs. This fall a
Boston physician, who is on the staff or
the Brothby hospital, will bring TO this
city from abroad a few grains Of radium,
and as his work has been intreating
cases OF skin. tuberculosis he will expert
ment with radium as a cure Of consump-
ton.
1t is known that a bit of this metal,
placed In a dark room, will make a dia-
mond shine, so powerful Is its radio or
ray activity, and accordingly the emana-
lions of the metal, when absorbed into the
lungs, In the few cases already tried, ac-
complished greater results In five minutes
than the ordinary consumption treatment
would in five years. The destruction OF
the lung cells and tissues is stopped. the
surfaces heal over and breathing becomes
natural. OF course the radium emana-
lions are tempered by passage through
some metal, which reduces their intensity.
but the healing effect Is not lost. After
the metal has been well tested at our con-
sumptive hospitals we shall know Its full
value.
