PERHAPS. SEVERAL THINGS.

The Chicago Inter-Ocean, intense Re- publican and something of a South-bait- CT, is not convinced that it is just right to displace Senator Morgan and put Hanna in his place. It speaks of the long and earnest fight the Alabama Senator has made for a canal across the Isthmus and adds:
 The people know that Senator Morgan Is enthusiastically in favor of an isth- milan canal. They do not know that Sen ator Hanna is. The former has never wavered, m his twenty-six years of ser vice in the Senate, in his loyalty to the canal idea; the latter never has convinced the people that he cared whether an isth- milan canal were constructed or not
 And this causes The Omaha World Herald, an independent newspaper, to in- dulge in some perhapses like these:
 Perhaps MT. Hanna is to succeed Mir. Morgan as Chairman largely because MT. Hanna is more interested in delay in the construction of a canal than in the speedy completion of that great enterprise. Fer suaded to give cordial indorsement to MT. Roosevelt's filibustering expedition in Panama because Mir. Hanna believes the Panama incident will retard the canal en- terprise.
 Perhaps, after all. MT. Hanna is con- siderably more interested in several other things-for instance, the interests of the trans-continental railway and the ship ping subsidy-than he Is in the isthmian canal.
 We might perhaps" number of other things fin connection with Hanna and rot exhaust the supply. Whatever difference of opinion there may be as to the two canal routes, and whatever opinion or sus- picion we may have of the President 8 course in the Panama affair, it Is but jrs to say that Mark Hanna has not given the country to believe that he will be an enthusiastic advocate of any canal what ever. So far as We are aware there has been no evidence so far to show that he will honestly labor for a canal.
 We know it is argued that the chair manship of such an important committee as that on Inter-oceanic Canals should go to a member of the party in power, and we know it is further argued that the government has practically committed it. self to the Panama route, and therefore Senator Morgan is not the proper man to have at the head of the committee. Con ceding all this it does not by any means follow that Hanna is a proper man to be placed in q position where he may re- tard or complicate the business very much if he is so disposed. All these con alterations give force to the perhapses of The World-Herald and tend to create the suspicion that several forces are working together to prevent canal building. They may as well understand. however. that the removal of Senator Morgan from the head of the Committee will not silence him nor discount the earnest work he has done.

SOUTH AFRICA,s TRADE.
Interesting Reort Made by Commis-
 si0ner Rirchauourh

London. Nov. 1.-The London Board of Trade today issued an. interesting blue book containing the report of Henry Birchenough. writer on statistical and political subjects, who was sentrto South Africa as a special commissioner to in quire into the present prospects of Brst- ish trade in that country.
 In his report, Commissioner Birchen- ough lays stress on the magnitude of the South African market, which he says has increased 250 per cent. in the last ten years, the greatest increase, however. having been shown in the last two years The value of this trade now exceeds the sum of $235, ,0O000O.
 The present depression in mining and in the general trade he considers to be only temporary.
 While there is a strong sentiment in favor of British goods, British manufac- turers, especially those fin the engineer ing trade show a decided lack of vigor and enterprise. Their most serious com petitors are the manufacturers of the United States and Germany.
 Commissioner Birchenough points out that competition from the United States is materially aided by the low freight rates at which competing British vessels carry American cargoes.

Dress makers, masculine and feminine, alread1 have caused no end of annoyance t1 patrons of the horse show, and some o them are likely to be elected from thu Garden if not actually arrested if the! persist in their disordery conduct.

BRAIN FOOD
Is of Little Benefit Unless it is Di-
 geSted.


 gested.
 Nearly everyone will admit that as 6 l nation We eat too much meat and too lit- | tie vegetables and the grains. For business men, office men and clerks, and in fact everyone in sedentary or in- | door occupations, grains, milk and vege- | tables are much more healthful.
 Only men engaged in a severe out door manual labor can live on a heavy meat diet and continue in health. As a general rule, meat once day Is sufficient for all classes of men, women and children, and grains, fruit and vege- tables should constitute the bulk of food eaten.
 But many of the most nutritious foods are difficult of digestion and it is of no use to advise brain workers to eat largely of grains and vegetables where the diges- ton is too weak to assimilate them prop erly. It is always best to get the best results from our food that some simple and harm less digestive should he taken after meals to assist the relaxed digestive organs. and several years experience have proven Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets to be a very safe, pleasant and effective digestive and a remedy which may be taken daily with the best results.
 Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets can hardly be called a patent medicine, as they do not act on the bowels nor any particular organ, but only on the food eaten. They supply what weak stomachs lack, pepsIn diatase and by stimulating the gastric glands increase the natural secretion of hydrochloris acid.
 People who make a daily practice of taking one or two of Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets after each meal are sure to have perfect digestion which means perfect health.
 There is nc danger of forming an in- furious habit. as the tablets contain ab- solutely nothing but natural digestives; cocaine, morphine and similar drugs have no place in stomach medicine and Stu arts Dyspepsia. Tablets are certainly the best remedy known and most popular of all stomach remedies.
 Ask your druggist for a fifty cent pack age of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets and afI' ter a weeks use note the improvement ip health, appetite and nervous energy,

Growing Indifference to Law.

Peo- pie have tendency, it appears, to assert their present desires and antiquities by force, without the regard for the rights of others which civilization implies. This tendency seems to grow and must excite apprehensions. What are we coming to? In proportion as we advance in science art and other forms of culture are we becoming indifferent to law and order and ethically barbarous? Education, in which Americans excel, ought to produce better results than we are getting.

Ingersoll on Vice Presidents.

If MT. Roosevelt is successful in captur- ing the Republican nomination for Presi- dent he will make one step further than any other Vice-President ever has done. No President of the past has ever succeeded even in being nominatd for the Presidency. When Chester A. Arthur, who succeeded Garfield, was a candidate for the Presidential nomination inS 1884, Robert G. Ingersoll said: No Vice President was ever made President by the people. It is natural to resent the accident which gave the Vice-President the place They regard the Presi- dent as children do a step-mother. He is looked upon as temporary, a device to save an election, a something to stop a gap, a lighter, political raft. He holds the horse till another rider is found. Peo- pie do not wish death to suggest nomi- nees for the Presidency"

Fx-Senator Pugh.

Washington POst.
 Ex-Senator Pugh of Alabama is a fre- quent visitor at the capitol MT. Pugh will be S4 in a few weeks, but his health is good and mind so clear that he still takes the keenest interest in legislation and loves to crack jokes in the cloak rooms with his old Congress. associates. Mir. Pugh Is an ex-member of the House also. having served in that body prior to the Civil War.
 He is very much afraid that the Demo- crats in Congress will not handle the Panama question right. He believes the American people are in favor of recogniz- ing the independence of that State, and also that they demand the construction of an Isthmian canal. no matter which route is finally selected.
