The JEFFERSON Monument.

The invitation of Admiral Dewey
to the American people to perpetuate
the name of Thomas Jefferson by
the erection of proper monument
should meet with a liberal response
from the ones who love their country,
says the Peoria Journal
1t is not proposed to erect this mon
ument to Thomas Jefferson, the par
tisan, but jefferson the patriot.
1t is due to the man whose name
is inseparably connected with the
Declaration of Independence.
1t is due to the man who is re-
sponsible for the louisiana Purchase.
which made a collection of colonial
states an empire.
1t is due to the man who for eight
years held by the suffrage of the
American people the great office of
president of the United States.
1t is. also due to the man whose
power was so great and patriotism
so pure that for IS years he influence
ed the destinies of the republic as did
no other man.
So broad was his mind, so compre-
hensive his talents, that now in the
second century of the republic that
he helped found, his system of poll
teal economy endures, and is the ba-
sis of one of the great political par
ties of the country.
About the name of Thomas Jeffer-
son there is none of the borrowed
halo of military fame. He made his
mark on the struggling republic by
the power of his attachments, his
knowledge as Il statesman, his patri-
otto DEVOTION, his answering allegi-
anCe TO the people and the people
alone, and his marvellous power in in
fiuencing the minds of men in the di-
rection of self-government.
The leader and the founder of the
democratic party, just as that party
has swerved from the lines laid down
by the political prophet have they met
defeat.
So sound was his system of politi-
cal economy. that his political enc
mics have been compelled in many
instances to follow in the track of
the man whose 1ar-seeing gaze seems
TO have been able to pierce the flu
ture and lift the veil in the matter of
events occurring century after his
form had been laid in the tomb.
Verify. for such man the Ameri-
can people cannot do too much when
ii comes to honOring his memory.

NATURES OWN CURE
HyOmeI Cures Catarrh without DangerOu
Dragging of the Stomach.

Not until Hyomei was discovered
has is been possible to truthfully say
that remedy for catarrh was
known.
This remedy is breathed through
the Hyomei inhaler for few minutes
four times day, and during that
time every particle of air taken into
the air passages and lungs is impreg-
mated with the germ killing and
health giving Hyomei. 1t is the only
treatment that cures catarrh.
Stomach drugging often causes dis
ordered digestion or brings on some
Eother diseases, and never makes a
permanent cure of catarrh. Hyomei
not only kills the germs in the throat
and nose, but penetrates to the min
utest air cells in the lungs and enters
the blood with the oxygen, killing the
germs in the blood. 1t frees the mu-
cous membrane from poisonous mi
crobes and gives perfect health.
A complete outfit costs but 81, and
includes an inhaler, dropper and suffi-
cient Hyomei for more than months
treatment.
L. III. Thomas has so much faith in
the merit of Hyomei that he agrees
to return the money to any purchaser
who may be dissatisfied.

In respect to the promotion from
the ranks, the army is in much better
condition than the navy. 1t is sub
stantially correct to say that any
American soldier of intelligence and
energy can raise himself from the
ranks to shoulder straps, but the
treatment of the men by the officers
is such as to discourage ambitious
but self-respecting young men from
entering the army with a view of
climbing to the top.
