TIT IS roo RIGID.

Indiana has prepared for another strike at the cigarate habit, but wheth- CT 1t will be ten-strike or a total miss depends on several things. In our opinion. the Draconian severity of intended to be accomplished. for 1t pro- vides fine and Imprisonment for any one having either cigarettes or cigar cite papers in his possession. It mat ters not whether there Is tobacco in the papers or that they are merely the little sheets in which the tobacco Is rolled. the punishment is the same. .,
 Indiana, as we learn from The In- dianapolis Star. already had two anti cigarette laws "to which practically no attention has been paid 'as that pa per says. and that is the experience of other States. In Alabama we have a law subjecting to fine and imprison- ment "any person who sells. barters. exchanges or gives to any minor, any cigarettes CT cigarette tobacco, or cig- arctic paper, or any substitute for either of them." It would be difficult to frame law in more rigid or com- prehensive language than that, yet any one who can see anything will see boys of all ages smoking the things as open ly as the men do. Could they get them if the law was enforced? If not, can a law be framed which will be likely to accomplish the desired send?
 This law just passed by the Legisla- ture Of Indiana goes much further. The author of the bill explains now that his object was to prevent the sale of cigarettes to minors, but the lam guage of the act will include people of all az ss. sexes and conditions, and will punish them for having anything in their possession that can be turned into a cigarette or a substitute for one. We have no thought that the law can be executed. and have but little expecta- ton that any attempt to execute 1t will be seriously made.

NOT A PATENT MEDICINE,
Hyomei, the Guaranteed CatarFh Cure,
 Prescribed by Physicians.

Prescribed by Physicians.
 No one should confound Hyomei with the patent medicines that are advertised to cure catarrh. It is as far superior to them all as the dia- mond is more valuable than cheap glass. Their composition is secret, but Hyomei gives its formula to all repu- table physicians.
 Its base Is the valuable eucalyptus oil, famous for It's antiseptic qualities. This is combined with aromatic and healing gums and balsams, making a pure liquid, which when used in the Hyomei pocket inhaler. fills the air you breathe with germ-killing, disease destroying and healing pow CTS that kills all catarrhal germs there may be in the throat, nose and lungs.
 How foolish 1t Is to try and cure ca tarrh by swallowing tablets or liquids. The only natural way to cure this dis ease and all other diseases of the re- spiratory organs Is to breathe Fly omel.
 This treatment has been SO success full, curing 99 per cent of all who have used 1t, that Hyomei is now sold by E. G. Fowler under an absolute guar antee to refund the money if 1t does not cure. You run no risk whatever in buying Hyomei. If 1t did not possess unusual powers to cure, it could not be sold upon this plan.
 The complete Hyomei outfit costs $1.00 and comprises an inhaler, a bottle of Hyomei and a dropper. The inhaler will last a lifetime; and ad- ditional bottles of Hyomei can be ob- tained for 50 cents. mch-1-S Is.

SHALL IT BE A SEA LEVEL,

The trend of opinion now seems to be largely in favor of a canal across the isthmus at the level of the sea, in
 stead Of one with locks. The original plan of the canal would have been to build locks and dams, just such as are used in many canals and on rivers. to carry the work over the high ridge of theIsthmus, instead of digging through 1t. By this plan the highest portion of the canal would have been about S5 feet above the mean level of the ocean. It is plain that the building of such locks and dams as would be re- quired for a work of such magnitude would entail an enormous expense, and 1t is also plain that 1t would require a great and constant expense to keep the work up after 1t was finished.
 The other proposition will only re- quire one lock of a few feet height. which is necessary on account of the difference in the tidal level of the two oceans which will be connected by the canal We believe the calculations indicate that lock of only six feet is all that will be required. As to tho cost the engineers estimate the entire outlay at about $15O.OOO.OOO for the s5- foot canal and s2SO, O,50o.OOo for the sea level. speaking in round numbers. That is. canal cut through at the level, or practically at the ocean level. will cost, according to the estimates. some ESQ., 100000 more than one to be carried over the mountain ridge which separ- ates the oceans. The shortest time es-

timated for the completion of tn. work

timated for the completion of the work Is ten years.
 These are the figures and estimates given. but they are estimates only. and
 these do not always agree with results.
 It has not been so long since the somewhat famous de Lesseps scheme
 that we should lose sight of 1t. Work
 began on the de Lesseps canal in oc- tober, 1881. The highest estimate
 made for the entire cost was s12o. .oo0.-
 900, and tn ework was to be completed
 in 1889. Almost at the start, trouble began. Unforeseen obstacles were en- countered. the climate was found to be deadly for foreigners. and various
 other hindrances delayed the work.
 By the end of 1887 there had been spent $2s0.000.000. which was more than
 twice the amount estimated, the work
 was unfinished, the company bankrupt
 and the whole thing collapsed.
 It Is net. of course, intended to be
 claimed that like results will follow
 the enterprise to be undertaken by our Government. Closer and more accurate
 calculations can bA made. for one
 thing. sanitary and hygienie conditions
 are vastly improved, and more modern machinery coupled with American skill and energy will make a great differ- ence in the project We may also be permitted at least to hope that the reckless and criminal waste of money which marked the de Lesseps effort will not attend ours We have alluded
 to the former enterprise merely to
 show what has occurred, and how call
 culations and estimates may be mis- | leading. And when we consider some | of the grating experiences in our own
 affairs heretofore we cannot be too | sure that there will be none connected with the Panama work. Already there has been at least one incident going to show that a good deal of the money | appropriated for the work may fall by | the wayside. Assuming, however, that the calcu- iations and estimates are reasonably accurate. and that the work will be carried out with due regard for econ- | omy and honest expenditure, 1t would seo"A ehat 'ho incTcdSeu cOSt or the sea level route or plan should not stand
 in the way. It has so many advan-
 tages, both in convenience and rapid ity of traffic. and in saving of future | repairs. that 1t would seem to be real economy to adopt that plan. Still, we
 think no one need expect that 1t will be
 built at the cost estimated or within
 the time fixed. It is too big job for that.

Taft's Proposed Visit in July Gives
 Rise to RumOr.
 Washington Special to New York
 Secretary of War Taft is going to the Philippines about the first part of July, and with him will go several Congressman and probably few gov ernment officials.
 The Secretary's exact purpose is something of a mystery. He declared before the House Committee on Ways and Means that the administration was in favor of giving complete independ- ence to the Filipinos as soon as they were ready for 1t, and he added that he did not mean when they were ready in the American or Anglo Saxon sense, for they never would be ready for 1t in that way.
 MT Taft's indication that the admin istration contemplated so radical @ change attracted a good deal of i'm terest at the time. and while he gave no hint of any readiness to set a date for Philippine independence, 1t was generally supposed that the change would have to take place in MT. Roose- velt's administration, as MT. Taft's statement would have no weight If he referred to a subsequent administration In which neither he nor the President would have any voice.
 There are, therefore, some who think that MT. Taft and his associates while on the ground will make an investiga- tion to see just how far theFilipinos are
