President and Republican Leaders
Have Reached No Decision.
Washington, Nov. 16.-No decision
has yet been reached by the president
and other Republican leaders regard
ing possible action Of congress on the
subject of the tariff It can be said au-
thoritakvely that no decision will be
reached as to such action either at a
regular or at an extraordinary session
Of the 59th congress until the subject
has been considered thoroughly by the
president and his cabinet and his po-
litical friends in congress. The presi-
dent is not bound by any precon-
ceived views on the subject, and is
open to conviction as to the most de-
sirable course to pursue. He is not in
clined to favor an extraordinary ses-
sion, either for the purpose OF taking
up the tariff or any other subject, but
1t Is said to be too early yet even to
indicate the determination which will
eventually be reached.

Inc Safe Guard.

Peruna is such a remedy. The Sisters
Of Charity know this. When catarrhal
diseases make their appearance they are
not Disconnected, butknow exactly what
remedy to use. These wise and prudent
Sisters have found Peruna n never-fail-
ing safeguard. They realize that when
disease is Of a catarrhal nature, Peruna
is the remedy. Dyspepsia and female
weakness are considered by many 10 be
entirely different diseases. That dyspep-
sia is catarrh Of the stomach and female
weakness is due TO catarrh Of the pelvic
organs the Sisters are fully aware, con.
sequenuy Peruna is their remedy in both
these very common and annoying dis
eases.

The Irish standard. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn. ;) 1886-1920, 1904-05-21

Contrary to general belief, Catholics
are allowed to fill any political Office in
Russia, says the Intermountain Cath
Ole of Salt Lake City. The New York
Sun is assured by most reliable author
ity that Admiral Styrdloff, at the head
of the Russian navy, is an earnest,
practical Roman Catholic. Six, pos
sibly seven, of the generals soon to go
forth in service are Catholics also,
while four of the governors of prov
inces are of our faith. It is worthy of
note, also, that an Irishman named
O'Dwyer was admiral of the Russian
feet in 1880. Commenting on this fact
the Freeman's Journal remarks that if
O'Dwyer was a Catholic, which is most
likely, he could not have held like
position in the British fleet, either at
that time or for half a century after.
Before emancipation" Tin 1890 Cath
olics were excluded from all commits
stoned Offices in the British army and
navy. Apparently there was no such
bigotry in Russia.
