The Sisters Find Peruna a Never-F all.
Inc Safeguard.

Peruna Il such a remedy. The Sisters
OF Charity know this. When catarrhal
diseases make their appearance they are
notdisconcertcd, bnt know exactly what
remedy to use. These wise and prudent
Sisters have found Peruna n never-fail-
ing safeguard. They realize that when
a disease is Of a catarrhal nature, Peruna
is the remedy. Dyspepsia and female
weakness are considered by many TO 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-
sequently Peruna Is their remedy in both
these very common and annoying dis
eases.

According to the Chicago Chronicl,

According to the Chicago Chronicle
there has been collected some signia-
can't statistics in regard to violence in
labor conflicts during the last three
years. 1t seems that within that period
5000 union strikers and only 415 non
union men were arrested, but that 125
non-union men and only So union strik-
ers were killed, and that 1925 non
union men and only 173 union strikers
were injured. This disparity shows
who the assailants were in these labor
disturbances which the organized
elements are pleased to term peaceful
strikes"

The Final Canvass Of Votes.

Dear readers, do not let any catch
you with that venerable chestnut about
it not being certain yet that Roosevelt
and Fairbanks have been elected. Leg
ally they are not elected until the cleo
tors do it. The votes cast are only
theirs Indirectly. The Iowa electors
will meet in Des Moines on January 9Th,
1905, and cast their votes and appoint
one of their number as messenger to
Washington with the sealed ballot.
Then one day during the session will be
devoted to counting the electoral votes
cast for the president and vice-presi-
dent. The ballots of electors of differ
ent states are sent to the president pro
tempore of the senate, and on the sec
ond Wednesday of February the senate
with the forty-five ballot boxes, one
from each state, will proceed to the
house, canvass the vote and declare the
result. We witnessed the ceremony in
the case Of William Mckinley in March,
1897, and we would not pass through
the push to see it again. You may all
see it just about as well in the news
| papers. 1t is a singular fact that al
though all the machinery is carefully
provided for the election Of the presi-
dent and vice-president, and for the
careful canvass and declaration of the
vote, yet no provision has been made
for the notification of those elected.
| 1t seems that the joint session Of the
senate and house might presume to do
this, and yet in the past they have not
done so. AS it is, Theodore Roosevelt
and Charles W. Fairbanks will not wait
for any red tape but will take it for
granted that they are elected and act

After the War-What?

n. T. Bacon in the January Booklovers Magazine
The European powers seem likely to
form new groups as result Of this war.
FOR years Germany has been trying to-
break up the Franco-Russian alliance
which has been her nightmare, and this
seems her great opportunity to make
friends with Russia while striking a
heavy blow at France. For fifteen
yeans Russia has been continually bor-
rowing huge sums, mainly in France,
for which she has been giving what are
practically unsecured notes.
But signs are not wanting that the
French are at last wearying of this
load. If $4O0,0O0,000 year is needed
BY a country with small financial re-
sources of it's own and great debt, the
time must come shortly when she can
borrow only by giving specific security.
Russia can do this only by mortgaging
tho very productive assets which have
been dangled before French eyes as
justification for her stupendous borrow
ings, thus taking away the main hope Of
payment of Russia's present debts.
Suggestion of new loan on these
terms will probably cause such panic
in France and Belgium that no money
can be had there for any purpose what
ever.
This will be Germany's great oppor-
tunity. England and Holland, the other
great lending nations, sympathize with
Japan, as we do, so that probably little
can be obtained from these; and, there
fore, Germany will be in position to
dictate the terms of the load, taking
over as security either the customs, the
railroads, or the liquor monopoly, to-
gether with administration of the
source Of revenue pledged. The first
would be particularly desirable for
Germany as it would allow her to favor
German goods while crowding out all
other manufactures by the highest tariff
in the world.
When we consider the anti-Japanese
interests Of Germany in China, the vir-.
tual dependence of Austria on Germany,
and the shaken prestige of Russia, it
would not be surprising if these causes
should result in league of the three
emperors under German hegemony. 1t
is easy to imagine how it. would tempt
the German Kaiser to feel within his
reach the headship of such league,
and deliverance from the dread Of in
vasion by hordes Of barbarians whose
poverty would forbid reprisals. For
Russia this would give prospect Of
reaching an outlet in the Persian Gulf
to make up for the loss of. Manchuria,
| while Germany covets Asia Minor and
Syria, and the Balkan peninsula could
be offered to Austria.
OF course, such coalition would
surely drive France to an understand
ing with England, in which probably
her best interest lies. Italy, likewise,
probably would turn against her an
Gent enemy, Austria, at the first move
against Turkey, if not before; for Italy
sympathizes with Japan, and has re-
garded western Turkey as her natural
heritage since the marriage of her king.
with the heiress Of Montenegro. This
would naturally lead to union of the
sea-powers against those of the land
one fraught with many possibilities if
either should venture upon aggression
