The making public OF kilograms sent
by the head of the coal oil trust o
members Of the United States senate
commanding that no antitrust legisla-
ton be permitted to pass that body,
has caused a small tempest in the
political teapot. But it all amounts to
nothing. Everybody who knows any
thing Of public affairs now, understands
that the trusts are debating the acts Of
congress. The mere slip Of a telegram
intended as private being made public,
cuts no snow, nor will the public be
much concerned, rs it Is generally IN
derstOod that no legislation distastefu
to the great combines Of capital is like
ly to pass. Ia the mean time the peo-
pie are practically content to permit
those who have to go on getting, while
those who have not can of couese go on
without. This has been the order Of
procedure for several thousand years;
IL will doubtless be continued several
thousands years longer and why should
we worry about IL at this time,

There is more Catarrh in this section of

gether, and until the last few years was sup
posed to be incurable. For q great many
years doctors pronounced it 3 local disease,
and prescribed local remedies, and By con-
stantly failing to cure with local treatment
pronounced it incurable. Science has prov
en- catarrh to be a constitutional disease, and
therefore requires constitutional treatment.
