Qualities Of Chamberlaln's Cough Remedy
AsHBURNHAM, Ont, April Is, 1903 Il
think it is only right that | should tell you
what a wonderful effect Chamberlain s
Cough Remedy has produced. The day be
fore Easter / was SO distressed with cold
and cough that l did not think to be ahlt
to take any duties the next day, as my
voice was almost ch6ked by the cough. The
same day / received an order from you foI
bottle Of your Cough Remedy. I at once
procured sample bottle, aud took about
three doses of the medicine. TO my great
relief the cough aud cold had completely
disappeared and was able TO preach three
times on Easter Day. / know that this
rapid and effective cure was due to your
Cough Remedy make this testin o al

found such God-sent remedy. Respect

meeting here in Washington,
with adjournment to Chicago
just prior to the Republican national
convention. The leaguers had an up
roarious and redhot time. The Roose-
welt and anti Roosevelt factions fought
each other tooth and nail, and it was
nip and tuck betwixt them, victory in
clining first to one side, then to t'other.
The principal facts which must seem
portentous to Republican leaders are
that the o-Americans are wax
ing up to a realization of their power
in the G. o. p, and that they propose
to be at Chicago early to have their
numerous claims heard. Inter ALA,
they threaten sure death to every Re
publican candidate for congress who
does not place himself behind the
Dick resolution, a procedure which is
quite likely to render General Charles
Dick of Ohio as famous as Charles
Dickens Mr. Dick in David Copper
feld.'' 1t is to be hoped that the
Afro Americans will enforce their
claims at Chicago. They are too mod
est by half and hitherto have scram-
bled and tugged and toiled and
strapped for the mere crumbs which
fall from the table of their new mas
tiers, the Republican leaders. They
ought to demand their full share of the
Republican official loaves and fishes.
They hold the power of political life
and death over the G. .. p. Instead of
claiming only 1 w paltry offices, they
are in position to demand, and to en-
force the demand, that one of their
number shall be nominated for vice
president on the Republican ticket at
Chicago, with a solemn promise that
if the Republicans carry the country
at least two of their number shall
be members of the cabinet and that
the other big offices be divided be-
tween white Republicans and Afro
American Republicans on fair basis,
numbers considered. Would the Re
publican convention dare refuse? Not
much; for without the Afro-American
vote the Republicans would stand no
more show of electing president than
they do of electing governor of Texas.
OF course they would kick, squeal,
wheedle, bride Ind bluff, but finally
they would come down out of the tree
and surrender. The Afro-Americans
have the Republican game in their own
hands If they have the nerve to play it
for all it is worth. Properly, intelli-
gently and courageously led, they are
masters of the Republican situation
and can be 1T.

Deficit In Babies.

The careful and prayerful attention
of the stand patters is called to the def
icit in babies. They constitute the
most important product in this country
or any other. Not long since the aston
ishing statement was published broad
cast and the attention of my readers
was called to it that there was short
age of 10000 in the Iowa baby crop.
That was variously explained as 1.-THE
exception which proves the rule.' as
untrue" as the fault of the enumer-
ators," etc. Now the report comes
from Indiana that there is a large def
icit in Hoosierdom. The stand patters
are always believing about our in
creased production in all lines of hui
man endeavor, never failing to attrib-
ute it to the blessed and sacred Dingley
tariff bill Wonder if the higher cost
of living has anything to do with the
short crop Of babies in Iowa and Indi-
ana?

Republican Prosperity.

49, ~N-'>''~--'' - <Ss'~Je
Republican spellbinders and editors
seem to expect people to doubt the evil
denee of their own senses. They go
about prating of our unexampled pros
perity, asseverating without qualitica-
ton that times were never so good and
wages never so high, notwithstanding
the fact that wages are being cut ey-
erywhere, laborers thrown out of en-
ployment and banks failing. The latest
proof of this queer brand of prosperity
is the failure Of the Hampden Trust
company of Springfield, Mass. Where
fore? Speculation in wildcat manufac-
turing concerns did it. But the same
old bIoviation will go on. However,
people cannot be deceived much longer
even by lying.

"Straws show which way the wind
blows" so it is said. That being true,
the conduct of certain great metro
politan papers indicates that their edi-
tors and managers believe that the
Democrats will carry the country. For
Instance, in 1896 the only considerable
daily in New York which supported the
Democratic candidates was William
Randolph Hearst's American, a per-
Torrance which may make him presi-
dent of the United States. Now, tile
only avowed champion Of the adm mis-
tration is the Tribune. Truth to tell, in
1896 and 1900 we had to depend almost
entirely upon the country press, and it
rendered yeoman service. The right
about face of so many metropolitan
daiIies is significant Of the changed
public opinion and perhaps foreshad-
ows the result next November, for those
papers have much more potent infiu-
ence in the cities than in the rural dis
tricts. and 1t is in the large cities. such
as New York. Boston, indianapolis and
Baltimore. that we have been making
our largest gains lately. Whether we

First Blood For Ankeny.n

First Blood For Ankeny."
Most denizens in this ''land of the
free and home of the brave have been
too well educated in etiquette to poke
fun at or to say anything rude about a
senator of the United States, or what
Senator John T. Morgan of Alabama
denominates 'san ambassador of a SOW
ereign state near the federal govern
ment." There is no divinity that doth
hedge about senator. no law of leze
majesty to protect him. but good nature
and good manners usually combine to
make pleasant the pathway of such an
eminent parsonage. Nevertheless occa-
sionally some free American, not hav-
ing the fear of the United States senate
before his eyes, but being instigated by
the spirit of '76, hurls a shaft at
senator which is calculated to make in
cense swingers stare. For example.

Senator Ankeny has begun to get in his
work One of his most ardent supporters
has secured a place. Mr. Adam Schmidt
of Wallawalla is the fortunate recipient
of federal favor.
It is a peculiar coincidence that his
term of service is Identical in length
with that of the senator himself. There
is however. a trifiing difference between
the two places-the senator goes unat-

goes with an escort to McNeill's island
Now. the average reader may, when
he reads that rich and racy bit of irony.
rise up and inquire, who is Ankeny ~

the Democrats in the house achieved a
tiny victory by the skin of their teeth.
but any sort of a victory. however
small or inconsequential, achieved by
house Democrats in the face of a Re

worth growing over, as it evidences the
fact that the Democrats are in fighting
