Endorses the Catarrhal Tonic Peru na---
A CongreSSman's Letter.

DR.. j. T. Ensor, Postmaster of Column
bia, s. c., late Superintendent and Ply
sician in charge of State Insane Asylum
at Colum mbia, s. c., writes:
''After using your Peruna myself
for q short period, and my family haV-
ing used and are now using the same
with good results, and upon the in-
formation Of Others who have been
benefited by Ii as q cure for cRfarrh

Hon. G. w. Butts, ex-Member of Con-
gress from North Dakota, in a letter
from Washington, ID. c., says:
''That Peruna is not only vigorous
as well as an effective tonic, but also a
cure of catarrh is beyond controversy.
It is already established by it's use by
the thousands who have been benefited
by it. I cannot too highly express my
appreciation of it's excellence.-C. w.
Butts.
DIR. r. Robbins, Muskogee, I. t.,
writes:
"Peruna is the best medicine know
of for coughs and to strengthen weak
stomach and to give appetite. Beside
prescribing it for catarrh, I have ordered
it for weak and debilitated people, and
have not had patient but said it helped
him. 1t is an excellent medicine and
it fits so many cases.
''I have a large practice, and have a
chance to prescribe your Peruna. /
hope you may live long to do good to
the sick and suffering"
Only the weak need tonic. People
are never weak except from some good
cause. One of the obscure causes of
weakness and the one oftenest over
looked is catarrh.
Catarrh inflames the mucous mem
brane and causes the blood plasma to
escape through the mucous membrane
in the form of mucus. This discharge
The Canton times., 1903-05-15

of mucus is the same as the loss of
blood. It produces weakness.
Peruna stops the catarrh and prevents
the discharge of mucus. This is why
Peruna is called tonic. Peruna does
not give strength by stimulating the
nervous system little.
1t gives strength by preserving the
mucous membranes against leakage.
1t gives strength by converting the
blood fluids and preventing their drain
ing away in mucous discharges.
Constant splitting, and blowing the
nose will finally produce extreme weak
ness from the loss of mucus.
If you do not derive prompt and salts
factory results from the use of Peruna,
write at once to DR.. Hartman, giving a
full statement of your case and he will
be pleased to give you his valuable ad-
vice gratis.

Reason Enough q.

1t would perhaps be difficult to find
anything in the revised statutes explain
ing literally why Judge GREGORY OF
Albany refused TO naturalize aliens be-
cause they could not speak English, but
his action in the matter will surely strike
a responsive chord in the breast Of Ameri-
can citizens
The statutes require that the candidate
for naturalization shall forswear al
legiance to every foreign prince, poten-
tate, State or sovereignty. Further
more it must appear to the satisfaction
of the court to which he applies that
during the five years previous to the
application he has behaved as a man
of good moral character, attached TO
the principles of the Constitution OF the
United States and well disposed to the
good order and happiness Of the same.
1t would puzzle even sea lawyer to
demonstrate that man who had not
learned to answer few simple questions
in the language of the country had en-
tirely abandoned allegiance to foreign
State or shown himself for five years to
be attached to the principles of the Con-
stitution of this country.

American transportation and shipping
companies Canada" he said, does
not feel that it is at the mercy Of the
United States and it will continue to
stand and increase in it's own strength in
the future
Doubtless the best and wisest way or
dealing with this bonding question would
be by the removal of all necessity for it,
upon certain products, at least, as inter
national commercial commodities. The
free passage OF Canadian wheat and
cheese across our border would not re-
duoe prices one penny to our own pro-
ducers. If free passage Of Canadian
beef cattle reduced the prices charged
by the Beef Trust" or'if the free pas
sage of Canadian chickens gave us few
more wings and drumsticks, so much
the better for us as we'll as for Canada.
Whatever Canada ships through the
United States is by Just so much an ad-
vantage to the United States. There are
also articles produced in Canada whereof
an increased shipment to the United
States would be of mutual advantage.

In seeking to impose upon the Demo-
cratic party principles for which it has

The Canadian Bonding Priyile re

Sir WILFRID LAURIER, the Canadian
Premier, addressed the Parliament at
Ottawa on July 30 and formally CON-
mitted the Ministry and the Liberal party
to the support OF the Grand Trunk Pacific
trsnscontnental railway project. Mr.
r. L. BORDEN, the leader of the Conserva-
tives replied on behalf of his party, and
it is quite evident that Mr. BORDEN had
not little the best in the argument Sir
WILFRID's speech was of considerable
length filing in solid type an entire page
in the newspapers.
We have already commented upon the
merits Of the proposed railway plan, A
point Of more important immediate in
terest to the American people appears
In the speeches Of Sir WILFRIp LAURIEB
and Mr.. BORDEN in reference to he bond
ing privilege extended to Canadian goods
in transit through the United States.
Upon that question Mr. BORDEN had
mush the best of the discussion, both in
point of fact and of patriotism Sir
WnFRID advanced an argument in favor
of the proposed line, evidently intended
as an appeal to the patriotic sentiment
of his people, that the Government laid
it down as principle upon which they
were willing to be judged by friend and
foe alike, that Canada should have o
transcontinental railway with its ter
minus on Canadian waters, and every
inch Of it in Canadian territory" With
all respect to Sir WILFRID, this savors OF
gallery play an oratorical display for
effect only. The United States has no
transcontinental railway from sea to
sea, unless the Sunset Route, the east
ern terminus Of which is at New Orleans,
be counted as such. We have systems
and connecting lines which make up such
a route, but no through single line from
ocean to ocean. Although she has only
one line where we have several, Cana
dams or Canadian products can now
go from Vancouver to Halifax without
touching an inch Of our soil.
From this false premise, Sir WTLFR1D
argued Canadian dependence for trans
continental transportation upon the good
will of the United States in maintaining
the bonding privilege over American
lines to American ports. Having high
ways of their own, he said that Canada
could say to the United States, Take
away your bonding priv '"ges if you
choose. Canada he said, is COM
mercially independent, and will abso-
lutely secure this independence when
she has this 1.-THE Grand Trunk Pacific]
railway to her own harbors," He added
that he had great admiration for the
American people, but had found that
the best and most effective way to main
tain friendship with them was to be abso-
lutely independent of them"
To this Mr. BORDEN replied that he
was astounded to hear the right honora-
bic gentleman say that Canada was at
the mercy Of the United States In regard
to the bonding privileges, because those
privileges were secured to Canada not
only by the most solemn declarations by

SIS FOR Sun DANCE TORTJ'Bp
Government Officers Further Accused nv
Indian School sIiperint endent.

WASHINGTON Aug, 0.Supt Byron r.
White Of the Cantonment Indian School
OF Indian Territory, who arrived in Wash.
ington yesterday, confirms in every detail
the facts published in The SrN recently
regarding the CheyenneArapahoe sun
dance, personally conducted" by office,
Of the Bureau Of Ethnology Mr. White
says there is no doubt that an Office,
Of the Bureau Of Ethnology and an
officer OF the Field Museum Of Chicago
paid SIS to the Indians to torture themselves
in the dance.
This assertion is made on the statemen.
OF an assistant clerk in Mr. Whites Office
who says he saw the money handed over
1t is explained, however, that the SIS was
ostensibly given for the lariat to which WA
tied the bulls head which one Indian
dragged behind him attached to strips o,
skin cut from his body. Mr. White also
makes the statement that after the dance
the two scientists paid the tortured savage
money for the skin torn from his body.
The statement made In a report to
the Indian Office that the programs
for the sun dance was prepared by
Richard Davis, an Indian who had been edi.
Gated at one of the Government schools.
RI confirmed by Mr.. White. He adds that tho
young Indian not only provided in the pro.
gramme for the revival OF the tortures Of

italian Government. The nomination of
Cardinal SARTo to be Patriarch Of Venice
must have been abortiVe but for the
acquiescence of King HUMBERT l., and
neither the Quirinal nor the Vatican has
had reason 10 regret the appointment.
His intercourse with the last and with
the present sovereign OF Italy has been
exceptionally amicable.
SO far, then, as the past may afford a
key to the future, we can see no reason
to doubt that Plus X. will evince con-
ciliatory spirit toward the ltal liam mon
archy whenever he can do so without
.eoparding the fundamental interests of
the Papacy. We do not, for moment
imagine that he will ever recognize King
VICTOR EMMANUEL III. as the rightful
ruler Of Rome, or OF any part OF
PETERS patrimony, but minor conces-
sions may be made that will relieve
the tension that has for thirty-three
years existed between Vatican and
Quirinal Then, again, having been,
secular, and not of the regular, clergy,
he seems likely to regard with approval
the patient and conciliatory course which
was adopted by LEO XIII. toward the
French Republic after the accession OF
Cardinal RAMPoLLA to the post of Papal
Secretary of State. For the same reason
he may be expected to maintain friendly
relations with the civil power in Ger
many, Great Britain and the United
States; to facilitate the settlement of tho
friars question in the Philippines and to
svmpathize with the broad and enlight-
ened views of Archbishop IRELAND.
We add that no single feature Of the late
Pope's career will appeal more strongly
to the heart of his successor than the
attempt TO win the confidence of work.
