Cured Her Rheumatism.

Deep Valley. Pa, Oct. 81 (SpeciaD
There is deep interest in Green
county over the cure of the little
daughter of I. N. Whipkey OF Rheuma-
tism. She was great sufferer for five
or six years and nothing seemed to do
he, any good till she tried Dodd's Kid

most at once and now she is cured and
can run and play as other children do.
Mr.. Whipkey, says:

Dodd's Kidney Pills have done for my
daughter; they saved her from being a
cripple perhaps for life."
Dodd's Kidney Pills have proved
that rheumatism is one of the results

the Kidneys are right there can be no

An excellent illustration of the value
of records has been afforded lately re-
garding the question Of physical degen-
eracy. A firm in the north of England
has compared the measurements for
clothing made two generations ago
with those of to-day, the results going
to show that chest and hip measure
ments are now three inches on the av-
erage more than they were sixty years
ago. The same conclusion is reached
by the experience of the ready-made
ciothiers. These facts, whatever may
be their generality, do not quite dis
pose of the question of deseneracy.
They are what we should expect from
the more abundant and cheaper food
of the people, their better housing and
improved sanitary surroundings; but

Of recruits and progressive lack of

The petition being at present circulated
by Yukon pioneers, asking the city council
to set aside for their exclusive use small
portion of the city cemetery, is one that
should meet with the prompt acquiescence
of that body. The pioneers of the Yukon
were the trailblazers and pathfnders, be-
fore whose perseverance and determined
effort all the unknown and dreaded natural
barriers to discovery and traffic in the North
gave way, and surely they are entitled to a
last resting place at the hands of a people
for whom they have done so much.

KEEP UP THE AGITATION.

Because the Congress of the United States
failed to give Alaska delegate and refused
to recognize our right to govern ourselves
there is no reason why Alaskans should be
discouraged. All the territories which have
reached the dignity of statehood have neces-
sarily passed through all the formative
stages before the goal was reached. Alaska
has been rebuffed many times, and with
each rebuff taxation has been increased
rather than lessened, but somehow, in spite
of it all, the territory has steadily, if slowly,
forged to the front. Alaska, in time, will
get delegate in Congress, perhaps two or
three. In time the people will have the
privilege of enacting legislation for them.
selves and suitable to the needs and condi
tons of the country. This time can be
materially fastened by the people of Alaska
themselves. The sentiment in favor of self
government can be fostered and encouraged.
Only the tories-the self-reeking interested
individuals, who put self and selfish interests
against everything else-are now opposed
to it. The actual, bona fide residents of
Alaska are almost unit in it's favor. The
tory opposition is backed by the foreign
corporations, largely dominant in South.
eastern Alaska. But their grip will eventu.
ally be broken, and Alaskans will come into
their own and they can hasten the time by
acting in concert. Let the clamoring and

THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.

Recent adviceS from the States indicate
somewhat uncertain conditions in national
politics. The Republican National Conven-
ton, which will meet in Chicago next Tues
day will undoubtedly nominate President
Roosevelt by acclamation The platform
may also recommend moderate tariff reduc-
tons in some lines, and it will also contain
the usual denunclatlons of 1.-THE trusts. y
The Democratic National Convention, which
will meet in ST. Louis on July 6, will prob
ably nominate Judge Parker, of New York,
for president. The platform WILL no doubt,
be mainly devoted to tariff revision, denun-
Citations of the trusts. imperialism and the
Republican party. Party platforms, as a
rule, are made to "get in on not to ''ride
on" and the principles advocated by them
are generally forgotten as soon as the cleo
ton is over But notwithstanding what
the party platform may or may not contain
the struggle for the presidency promises to
be bitter. 1t is generally conceded by the
politicians of both the great parties, that if
the contest lies between Roosevelt and Par
ker, the former will have close race, to say
the least. There is small doubt that the
"moneyed interests" are against President
Roosevelt His attitude against the trusts,
including the RAILROAD mergers" have an.
tagonized that great financial pulse of the
nation-Wall street-and it is safe to pre-
dict that the Republican campaign fund will
receive few contributions from that source
What then? 1t is understood that "Wall
street" regards Judge Parker as ''safe"
man, and the inference is that the money
bags will be opened and used for the
purpose of defeating Roosevelt. Had Sena-
tor Hanna lived, different story might
have been told Perhaps his political fore
sight, sagacity and great executive ability
would have enabled him to whip the recall
citrant trust Republicans into line. Or per-
haps, had Hanna lived, he, himself, would
have captained the Republican hosts instead
of Roosevelt. However it is useless to spec
ulate Roosevelt, and no other, will lead
the Republican phalanxes to victory or de-
feat.
There is an unmistakable recrudesence
among the Republicans of several states
Wisconsin, long Republican stronghold,
it is predicted, even by many Republicans,
is likely to go Democratic this year. New
York will probably do the same, if Parker
is nominated and can make his peace with
Tammany. In Illinois, like Wisconsin, there
are bitter factional fights among the Repub-
licans, and for this reason Illinois is ranked
by some in the doubtful column. Indiana
and Connecticut and Delaware and New
Jersey are also considered doubtful, and to
states. The South will be solidly Demo
cratic, as usual.
But with all the mighty influences that
are arrayed against Roosevelt, it must not
be forgotten that he is strong with the peo
pie. The coming presidential contest then
