This L Miraculous.

Manhattan, Kans., March A.-One Of
the strangest cases that. has ever been
year-old daughter of Mr.. Jonas Brubaker
Of this place.
Some time ago the little girl took whoop.
ing cough, which was followed by pneu.
monia When the pneumonia left her, she
was taken down with malaria fever with
at times symptoms of Spinal Meningitis,
The family doctor brought her safely
through these troubles, but after the fever
Bright's Disease set in and the doctors
gave her up. Her father tells the rest OF
the story: "
Eve began to give her Dodd's Kidney
Pills and after she had taken about three
and half boxes, she was entirely cured.
Now she is well as any. child, running and
playing as if nothing had ever been the
matter with her The doctors said she
was beyond the reach of medicine. Dodd's
Kidney Pills certainly saved our little
girls life, when she was so far into the
chronic stage of Bright's Disease that we
thcuuht nothing could save her."

8: The Simple Life. -

Contrary to its custom, THE
AMeRICAN viii begin next week the
publication of serial which will run,
Il we print three columns each week,
for thirteen weeks.
1t is 'sThe Simple Life'', by Rev.
Charles Wagner, an Alsatian by birth,
clergyman of Paris. Elsewhere in
this issue may be found two column

his remarkable work.

In these columns is Miss Hendee's
translation, and is the only American
edition recognized by the author. 1t

Wagner was born in simple COM
munity, the son of farmer. He was
brought up in communion with
nature, and has been able to see with
clear eyes the faults of our modern
complex existence, and to point out
inc beauty and worthiness of life of
poFmal pleasures, fine thoughts and
sincere emotions.
He was bred to the Protestant
ministry, but love of humanity, the
labor - class in particular, made him

No Tariff Revision.

Elsewhere in this issue may be
found Senator Hale's attitude towards
tariff revision and his reasons there
fer. l. would be difficult to crowd
into less space a clearer or more
comprehensive statement of what
ought to he, and we believe is, the at
u.ude of the republican party on the
matter of tariff revision.
n any one Issue in the recent cam
paiga was more conspicuous than any
other, it was the tariff; and the result
WIS an emphatic approval of the
situation as it is. No tariff schedule
IL or can be perfect, but the effect OF
titkering with the present law would
wes1 vastly more harm to the indus
tiial situation than the inequalities of
the iaW-if they actually exist-can
possibly work.
Senator Hale's stand is both polite
aid wise, and it is entirely safe to as
slime THAT both houses of Congress
viii accept his attitude as the proper
ore for the republican majority to
assume.
The relation of the election of Mr..
Douglas as governor of Massachu-
sets - the tariff sentiment in that
state IL in some quarters being magni-
I'D ont of all proportion to its i'm
PORTAGE. With the exception OF the
element there represented by Mr..
Foss, Massachusetts is as sol Y for
protection as is Maine or PepnsS Iva
mia. And that element was not
strong enough to elect Mr.. Foss.
Maine IL profoundly thankful to
Senator Hale for thus early being SO
cpnst queGce, and We have little
doubt that the rest of the country
shares the same feeling. In fact, so
far as the leading republican con-
gressmen have spoken, they all are
with Senator Hale; OF course Senator
FFya Is; also the entire Maine delega
tion in the House.
Under the guise of Canadian
reciprocity turks the spectre of
democratic free trade, and the
country viii have none of it. Genuine
reciprocity of the Blaine and Nc
Kinley qcality is in no way hostile to
the policy of protection, and its
adoption, wherever desirable, can
safely be left in the hands of the re-
publican party; which doesn't need
even the assistance of the Massachu-
sets mug wumps.

Congress Meets.

The last session of the fifty eighth
Congress met last Monday, and will
adjourn by limitation March 3, 1905.
1t is not likely that much legislation
will be enacted beyond the passing of
the necessary appropriation bills, and
finishing work already in hand.
The Presidents message is an ex
tremely long one-able, however, as
all his state papers are. A striking
feature of the message is the proper
ton of it devoted to topics essentially
non political.
Thus much space is given to what
should be done to the city of Washing
ton to make it an example to other
municipalities; to what should be
done in the labor world; to the cause
of agriculture; to naturalization and
citizenship; to the treatment of terri
tories, and so on.
sim the treatment of the Philippines,
our foreign relations, the currency,
the army and navy, he repeats at
length his well-known views.
The tariff he does not discuss, ex-
cept to say that he will communicate
with Congress later about it.
If the message were shorter, it
would be more generally read, but
this is a very big country, aud there
are very large topics to be treated,
and the President is not man to deal
with affairs in way that leaves
doubt as to what his views are, even if
it takes time and space 10 do it.

OBITUARY.
DIR. ARTHUR L. MAcoMBER.

DIR. ARTHUR l.. MACoMBER.
The many friends OF Dr. Macomber
were shocked anc grieved by the news OF
his sudden death at Albuquerque, Nov.
%, triei mention of which was made In
these columns TWO weeks ago.
DR.. Macomber was born in Ellsworth
where he received his early education.
After graduating from the high school,
he entered the office OF DIR. Lewis Hodg-
kins for the study OF medicine, and after
spending year there and In New York,
he entered the medical school at Bruins
wick, from which he was graduated in
1895
Soon after graduating he located in
Plymouth, Me-, where his practice rapidly
increased, until it included some OF the
adjoining towns as we'll. After four years
OF hard and faithful work, exposure and
fatigue caused severe illness which sent
him to the mountains OF New Mexico,
and after year, he was able to remove to
the city OF Abuquerque, where be opened
an Office and praeticed there and in The
city hospital, until after brsvely fighting
for lis life for five long years, the sum
mons came.
His many friends bear witness to his
worth as man, physician and friend
His honesty and sincerity OF mind and
purpose endesred him to al with whom
he came in contact, for he was entirely
without affect alton and pretense.
In the bright career hat was before
him, why be was taken is one of the mys-
ter es, but as friend expresses IT: "He
was called home to a higher work and
service than he could render here on
earth.n

non sectarian. In the Boulevard
Beaumarchais, Paris, he is now the
pastor of great congregation, where
he speaks several times week on the
essentials of happiness and right
living, to the richest and poorest of
the gay French capital, sitting side by
side.
This remarkable man seems to have
developed just the philosophy that
the hurried American needs as an
antidote to the distractions of his
high pressure life.
Mr.. Wagner has recently made a
visit to this country, and received
most cordial welcome from distin-
guished men in all walks of life. A
few weeks ago he was introduced to
a Washington audience by the Presi-
dent, who said: "This is the first, and
will be the only, time during my
presidency that l shall ever introduce
speaker TO an audience, and | am
more than glad to do it in this in
stance because, if there is one book
which should like to have read as a
tract, and, what is not invariably true
of tracts, as an interesting tract, by
all our people, it is The Simple Life,
written by Mr.. Wagner.

The popular view of the relation of the blood
TO human character and conduct IL marked In
many familiar expression. We speak of there
being "sad blood" between people at enmity,
of "blue blood" as indicating ancestry, OF
