Health Builder.
Paine'S Celery
Compound
Quickly Elevates the Constitutional
Condition Of all Rundown
and Sick People.

In the winter season, when many
people. especially women n chill
dren are confined in close and stuffy
apartments which lack proper venti-
lating facilities, the blood becomes
watery, pale, sluggish and impure;
brain is tired. insomnia begins its ter
rible work, and a general collapse of
the whole system sue
Our object at this time is to suggest
the true mean of succOr and help for
pale, languid, nervous, irritable and
weakened women and children. Thou
ands of such nerveless and frail VIC
Tins will soon be cut down if help is
delayed and time lost.
Paine's Celery Compound is the life
line-the sure and tried anchor of
hope hat all may lay hold of with a
certainty of new life and vigorous
health. Paine's Celery Compound is
doing the same heaven-blessed work
today for sufferers that it has so we'll
that new. pure, and fresh blood which
is the foundation Of true health; it
promotes cellgrowth, builds up flesh,
bone and tissue, and elevates the con
stitutional condition of every SICK per-
son, and defends them from germ and
bacterial dangers. Try Paine's Celery
Compound, dear reader. and your eff
forts will be fully and happily reward.

WHAT MoNoPoLIsIs ARE PRE-.
PAIRING.
(From the Boston Pilot.)

CFrom the Boston Pilot.)
In a word, the country is on the
brink of a revolution, which is all th-
more dangerous. perhaps, because it
is 0 an organized movement, but a
spontaneous uprising against an into
lerable condition of affairs. If the
laws will not supply redress, SO much
the worse for the laws, and SO very
much worse for the insolent pluto
Gratis who have defied the law, after
shamefully abusing it to ove their
robberies.
Congress. to the great wonder OF
the people. has done something. 1t
has taken the duty off coal for one
eficacious as it would be to draw u
pailful of water from the hold OF a
sinking ship. 1t amounts to a reduc-
ton of 81 cents a ton on the cost OF
imported coal. Imported coal is al
ready selling at twice the price which
il brought before the famine in the
domestic article. S~ixty-Seven cents,
from 81, the present excess over the
former plice, does not afford much
relief 10 the onsume The Operat-
ors still keep up the extortionate price,
and there is no immediate promise
Of any reduction, although cars and
vessels loaded full of the precious
fuel lie untouched on The rails or In
the harbors.
The soulless m%Onopolists are fast
making for anarchy. They nave all
the machinery Of the law Or their SIDE
but it is of little use when the ma
ehinists are on a strike, as they are in
agents of law countenance the confis-
cation of property the men who claim
10 own that property will be wise to
wake up and think a little. To them
the imminence CT anarchy may seem
unimportant: but the American pee
pie do not SO regard it. They, at
least, do not court lawlessness, but
they prefer it to misuse of the law,
and, however, it may come about, they
will enforce justice and right, as they
did in California 80 years ago, when
rotten law courts made the law :
mockery and a shield for crime.
James Russell Lowell was no anar-
chist. but he was a poet and a seer
when he wrote:-
Let sleek statesmen temporize;
Palsied are their shifts and lies
When they meet your bloodshot eyes
Grim and bold;
Policy you'll set at naught,
In their trans you'll not be caught,
You're too honest to be bought,
Hunger and cold!

Another corner has been turned In
the isthmian canal enterprise, with
the negotiation of a treaty between the
States and Colombia says an
exchange. Here's hoping that
it will pass muster when 1t reaches
the sharp eyes Of the senate, p~articu-
larly Senator Morgan's. Whether or
Secretary Hay has scored another
triumph, he may fairly be congra-
tulated in having consented to q CON-
promise with Colombia in the matter
of the annuity to be paid to that
country over and above the cash pay
ment Of $40. OOO, 900 for the canal con
cession. The secretary at first offer
ed an annuity Of but 500, 900, while
Colombia demanded $780, 900, basing
her claim upon the income now deriv-
eed from the very prosperous Panama
railroad, which is to pass entirely I'M
der the control Of the United States.
1t appears that 500. 900 was too small
a sum to serve as an equivalent for
what Colombia must give up in reve-
nue. from the railroad, and Secretary
Hay evidently was moved by a sense
of simple equity in conceding q uM
in the neighborhood of $25O.0OO or
5000, 900. 1t would be rash to pre-
dict the ratification of this treaty at
the present session and the early be-
ginning of the ditch-digging by the
United States government, for the his
tory of the enterprise is n long Sc
ries OF delays and disappolntments.
The hope grows, however, that q work
upon which our people have set their
hearts is now within measurable dis
lance OF completion.

Among the many new rules wit
which the Rock Island began the new
year is one concerning the annual pas
ses and trip passes which were for
merly issued to the editors and en-
ployes of weekly papers. Formerly
the editor of a weekly paper was Civ
en- an annual pass the first of every
year and at his request any member Of
his family or any employee of his pap
er was issued a trip pass at any time.
This was fruit for the editor and his
flock, but the old and beautiful Gus
tom has now passed away and many a
man who in the old days was wont to
jump on and off a train whenever he
pleased. mourns its loss. The editor
of the weekly is now given what is
called a semi-annual pass which has
to be renewed every six months. The
semiannual is all right and although
1t is not quite as convenient as the,
annual. il makes things easy for the
editor when he tak1s q notion that b.

The movement of farm families
from our western states into Manitoba
and the Canadian Northwest must be
very large. and it is certainly of great
significance. 1t was heavier in the
last half of last year than in the first
half: yet the report of the Canadian
department of the interior for the
year ending June 80 last shows that
1854. SAT acres of and were dispos-
ed of by the department and the rail-
road companies during that year, or
about double the sales of the previous
year. and wholly III of comparison
with sales of previous years. And
this land has been taken up largely
by immigrants from the agricultural
sections Of the western United States.
The effect has been to double the
prices of land, although it is stated
that practically unlimited quantities
Of excellent farm areas still remain
to be occupied. The Dominion gov
eminent is naturally much pleased at
he turn things are taking in this d.
rection. and is preparing to offer spe-
cial inducements to immigration from
the northern states Of Europe to sup
plemen. the highly desirable inccm-
ing from the United States. 1t is
proposed to offer to the North Attain

tural class, and every girl over Is OF

Mr.. cARNEclE,s WORK.


In his address at the dedication of
the Washington public library the 9th
er day Mr.. Marnegie gave the public
some idea q the magnitude of the
work he has bepr Gt:nS within the
past two years aE !. also OF the extent
of the labor he has already planne i
for the future. Since 1900 he has es-
tablished 73D public ..braries and to-
day has 500 applications under con-
sideration, the great majority of
which, he says, will no doubt be given.
As the average value of his gifts is
$4,000 this would place his contri-
buttons during the past two years for
library purposes alone well over the
$35, OOO, 900 mark and would indicate
an intention to spend sac, O0O, 900 upon
those to come. Small wonder that the
world marvels at such stupendous
munificence.
His gift to Philadelphia OF $780,
600 for the establishment of 80 branch
libraries is enthusiastically received
in that city of homes and readers. AL
ready offers of sites are being received.
AS President Roosevelt said at the
library dedication at the capital the
other day the philanthropy whichhelps
men and women to help themselves
is the soundest and best. Not the
least of Mr.. Carnegie's merits is that
he has been the first to give this prin-
ciple worldwide exposition.

GREAT ACHIEVEMENT.

The wireless telegraphy promises
to be the greatest achievement of this
very progressive age. So far has it
been developed that it is now assert
ed that arrangements will be made
within a few months for the regular
transmission of commercial messages
from America to Europe. One of the
things about wireless tele-
graph is the rapidity with which it
mas developed. 1t a expanded from
a theoretical possibility to an ocean
spanning device in a couple of years.

Ii would seem that the disposition
on the part Of the present republican
legislature to extend the tenure OF
the Office of mayor is induced by the
costliness Of election campaigns. by
making the mayors term TWO years
long the republican office holders IN
some of the cities Of the Territory,
at least. are enabled to cut down
contributions. Two years is not any
too long a time for d good mayor 70
serve. but on the other hand n year
is long enough with an undesirable
incumbent.
