Group is hoarseness A day or two
before the attack the child becomes

soon as the child becomes hoarse, or
even after the rough cough appears,
and it will dispel all symptoms Of

anxiety may be avoided. This RENE

Climatic CuKaa.

The influence of climatic conditions
in the cure of consumption is very
much overdrawn. The poor patient
and the rich patient, too, can do
much better at home by proper at
tention to food digestion, and regu'
lar use Of German Syrup. Free eX'
pectoration in the morning is made
certain by German Syrup, so is a
good nights rest and,the absence OF
a weakening cough and facilitating
night sweat. Restless nights and the
exhaustion due to coughing, the
greatest danger and dread of the con
sumptive, can he prevented or stop
ped by taking German Syrupliberally
and regularly. Should you be able
to go to warmer cline, you will find
that OF thousands Of consumptives

THE PANAMA CANAL.

A good many of the warm admin
istration organs have, with great
frankness, been discussing the pos
sibility and propriety of seizing the
strip of land through which it is pro.
posed to build the Panama Canal.
They argue that il Colombia will not
grant the concession that the United
States cannot afford to be baked
from the great enterprise by the
constitutional obstacles that the CO.
lombians say are in the way of the
ratification of the treaty. Others OF
these Republican newspapers favor
the fomenting of a rebellion in the
state of Panama against the Colon
bian government and then landing q
force of marines to make il sue.
cessful. This bald way of stating
that the United States should exer-
else its undoubted physical ability
to coerce a weaker state, is on a
par with other imperialistic ideas
that have been rampant under the
present regime. But these vicious
public advisers forget the terms of
the congressional enactment which
authorized the building of an inter-
oceanic canal, that il the Colombian
government would not ratify the
treaty the President of the United
States was authorized to open nego-
tiations with Nicaragua and Costa
RIGA and build the canal by the
Nicaragua route. That is the duty
of President Roosevelt, and to shut
file and palter and attempt to coerce
Colombia to ratify treaty that the
Congress of that country does not
approve would be playing into the
hands of the transcontinental rail-
roads who have so far been able to
defeat the building of the canal.
There is very good reason to believe
that the Nicaragua route would have
been adopted if the railroad in
fuence led by Senator Hanna had
not been omnipotent in the Senate.
This whole question may be fought
over again at the next session OF
Congress, and it may become one
of the issues in the next Presidential
campaign, for the Democratic nomi-
nee may be man who has persis-
tently advocated the Nicaragua
route.

Every inquiry at the State De-

pean squadron, which the Presi-
dent ordered to Beirut when the
cannard that vice consul MageIssen
had been murdered was received,
appearsIto cause embarrassment, and
il is plainly seen that the officials
think that the President acted pre-.
cipitately and illadyisedly in the
matter and that he has placed the
United States in a ridiculous posi-
ton. The latest advices are to the
effect that Magelssen was not fired

LYNCH LAW In GENERAL.

As to the broader question of
lynching and kindred disorders,
most of the current discussions has
been singularly lacking in the sense
of historical perspective. Lynch
ing in this country has been partly
incident to rough and-ready phases
of the pioneering development of
our great West, and partly due to
similar causes in the South and
Southwest-plus the social disturb
ances resulting-(I) from the de-
yastations and violence of the war
period, (2) from the terrible fric-
tons following the break up of the
system of slavery, aud (5) from the
hideous wrongs and mistakes of the
reconstruction era. Lynching itself
is not growing more frequent
in the United States, but on the
contrary, is diminishing both abso-
lutely and relatively. Furthermore,
the disturbed social conditions out
of which lynching and other like
disorders grow are gradually recti-
flying themselves. There is no
specific remedy for the lynching
evil; but there is a general remedy
namely, the progress of civilization.
The current discussion will serve a
useful end, not because it will lead
to the invention of new ways to
deal with criminals, but chiefly be-
cause it will help to arouse the con-
science of the country and deepen
the conviction that the cause of
civilization is worth making sacri-
fees for. Governor Durbin showed
excellent qualities of courage and
promptness of his suppression of
the Evansville mob. Fortunately,
we have other governors several
Of them in the Southern States, who
constantly showing precisely the
same quality of vigilance and cour-
age, directed to the same end.

When Columbus discovered Amer
lea, in 1892, there stood in a noun
tain gorge in Cherokee county,
North Carolina, a tulip poplar tree
that was then 400 years old. For
four more centuries it grew and
hourished, and was recently felled
in order that it might enter into an
exhibit for the Worlds Fair at St.
Louis. The great tree was thirteen
feet in diameter at the base when It
was cut. The gorge in which It
grew was SO inaccessible, being 30
miles from a railroad, that it was
impractioable to obtain a section
near the base. Forty feet up, where
the tree was a little more than six
feet in diameter, disk was cut.
This has been polished, and will
occupy place in front Of the hunt
ers' lodge. On the polished disk
has been engrayen the important
historical events Of the Old North
State from the time that Sir Walter
Raleigh, the gallant cavalier from
Queen Elizabetb's court, took pos
session Of the land in his soyereigns
name on July 4, 1884, through the
colonial days, during the revolution
and up % the present time. Another

and vanished, while the lower por-
ton is covered with the bark. Other

and in different forms.
