The Virginia enterprise. [volume] (Virginia, St. Louis County, Minn.) 1893-19??, 1903-09-25

(New Premier of Spain Who Was Born
under Lucky Starr
his time and talent to his, profession,
Senior Villaverde studied assidulously So
cial and economical sciences, for which
he had always felt prediction, and
through his great intelligence soon rose
to prominence. He was successfully
named minister of justice and of finance
to the general satisfaction.
The most interesting period of Villa
verde's political career began in 1899
after the disastrous war with the United
States. When the treaty Of peace had
been signed and new cabinet, presided
over by the leader of the conservative
party, Senior Silvela, was Termed, politi~
cal men as we'll as the majority of the
people recognized the urgent necessity of
introducing ample and radical reforms
into all branches of public administra-
ton and adopting sound and liberal
policy apt to raise the credit Of the land.
Senior Villaverde, who occupied in Sill
vela's cabinet the post of minister of
finance brought bill Of taxation before
parliament, with which he intended to
increase the income of the treasury from
S50,000,000 to 100000, 900 pesetas and
with his peculiar energy and firmness
he succeeded in having his project ap-
proved.
But this heavy taxation raised such q
storm of protest throughout the whole
of Spain and so numerous and bloody
were the riots which it caused in various
provinces that Senior Villaverde was
obliged to send in his resignation and
two or three months afterward, partly
owing to this and partly to the unpopular
marriage Of the princess of the Asturias
with Don Carlos of Bourbon, the whole
cabinet was also forced to resign. The
queen then decided to trust Villaverde
with the formation of a new ministry.
but in consequence of the unpopularity
of his taxes, he found nobody disposed to
second him in the work and therefore
he had to renounce the charge.
Later the announcement that the GOV
eminent, through Senior Sanchez Toca.
intended to bring bill into parliament
for the construction of the fleet, was suf-
f1cient to call forth demonstrations of
hostility In the chamber Of deputies, as
we'll as all over Spain. Then King AL
phonso, Interpreting the desires of his
country, called on Senior Villaverde to
form a new cabinet. The elevation Of
this distinguished statesman to the high
est Office signifies the triumph of firm
and saving financial policy of Spain.

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all it's stages and
that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure now known to
the medical fraternity. Catarrh being
a constitutional disease, requires con-
stitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally. acting directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces Of
the system. thereby destroying the
foundation Of the disease and giving the
patient strength by building up the
constitution and assisting nature in
doing its work. The proprietors have
SO much faith in it's curative powers
that they offer one Hundred Dollars for
any case that it fails TO cure. Send for
list OF testimonials.

arose and went to another table.

walters were white girls. Sever
al OF them refused to wait on the
negroes, but finally two agreed to
do so. Senator Smoot superin-
