There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable. For
a great many yesrs doctors pronounced
it local disease, and prescribed local
remedies; and by continually failing to
cure with local treatment, pronounced it
incurable. Science has proven catarrh
to be constitutional disease, and. there
fore requires constitutional treatment.

F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo. o., is the
only constitutional cure on the market.

CORRESPONDENCE

After enjoying vacation or nearly a
month, Alex Richardson will start out
with fresh line of sample shoes to fill
the urgent needs of many customers.
JH Brand, wife and daughter of New
York arrived here Tuesday evening. Mr.
Brand is looking after tobacco in this
section and will probably remain for
some time.
Mrs Lelie Burnam was brought home
from Delavan few days ago, sufferer
from a recent runaway accident. An

her friends were driving, throwing them
out of the buggy, and dislocating the
bones in wrist and ankle for this lady.
After her arrival here medical assistance
was secured and improvement is noted

in parlor car, apparently became de-
mented and attempted to rob woman
of her purse. Being pursued through
the train, he drew knife, stabbed the
conductor and brakeman, and shot some
of the passengers. Getting off at Sparta
he was pursued by the marshal, and it
took several shots before being captured.
In fact he was hit eleven times and no
doubt will die. Five others were shot or

through study of their habits. This fact
IS evidenced by the rapid growth of the So
cietys membership. Throughout the pub
lie schools the inf1uepce is felt in the estab-
lishment of code of honor commanding
respect for the right of the feathered crea-
lures to live. The Audubon societies in this
city and elsewhere have had pronounced
influence in the shaping of legislation for
the protection of the birds. When the local
society was organized protective laws were
on the statute books of no more than half
a dozen states. Such laws are now In force
effectively in thirty-seven states.
The work Of the Audubon societies has
been done uniformly by persuasive educa-
tional methods rather than by compelling
harshness. The result is that respect for
bird life is not merely a passing sentiment,
but is lasting. The children are strength
ened in character through this wholesome
influence. and every parent in the commun-
fly should feel a deep personal interest In
a work so beneficial and should give the
agency of this reform all needed support
for the extension Of its usefulness.

its business as usual. leaving to the legis-
lators the maneuvering for advantage which
precedes the formal bafloting. The news
papers are, of course, punctuated with ref
erences to the contest, but despite the ten
dency of the Gallo character to emotional
ism. the campaign is free from the violence
and bitterness which characterize the Amer
lean presidential struggles. The favored
men themselves make no sign of desire
for election. 1t is regarded as bad form
for man to avow his wish, even his viii
dngness. to serve as president. The French
proceed upon the theory that this office
must seek the man, a policy which they
carry out with artistic thoroughness.
NJ Fallieres. the newiy-elected president
OF France. is a man well along in middle
life, who has been generally ciassed as a
moderate radical. He has given an excel
lent account of himself as president of the
senate, and his supporters claim for him
qualities which will cause his administra-
ton of French affairs to shine brilliantly.
He enters Office at critical juncture In the
international relations of the republic. but
with an undivided country at his back and
with no subordinate domestic issues to

The New President of France.

France today elected a new president to
succeed VI. Loubet, whose term Is about
to expire The process of election Is rad
ically different from that which obtains
IN the United States. The sitting parlia-
mentary body, senators and deputies meet
in what is styled the national assembly and
ballot for candidates who have not been
formally placed in nomination but who are
quietly agreed upon by their respective
supporters. In measure this system re-
sembles the electoral college of the United
States in that It is an indirect bauoting for
the first office. But, unlike the electoral
college. as It is now maintained, the ma
tional assembly of France exercises its own
choice and is not guided by the directions
of political bodies. The French election is.
of course. indirectly the result OF popular
will. but that will may have been expressed
long time before the time for choosing a
president.
NJ Fallieres who today received the ma
jority of the assembly and is therefore the
newly elected President of France. was the
candidate. so to speak. of the dominating
political combination OF French legislators,
known popularity as THE Bloc" consisting
of radicals, radical socialists and socialists.
Against the bloc are ranged the moderate
republicans. the conservatives and the vary
ing shades of anti-republicans. 1t is an In
teresting fact that the candidate named by
this minority was NJ. Doumer, president of
the chamber of deputies. while Nj. Fallieres
has been serving of late as president of the
senate. There are 800 senators and $50 dep

Our Right to Be at Algeciras.

Yesterday the conference OF the powers in
terested in the protection of life and prop
erty In Morocco began at Algeciras. Our
government Is represented there. The right
OF this nation to participate Is unquestion-
able. Those critics of the administration
who, In the Senate or elsewhere, are pro-
testing against the appearance of American
representative in such a congress or con-
ference of European powers, as Il it were
something unheard of in our diplomatic his
tory and violent departure from the ira
ditions of aloofness which constitute Ameri-
can policy with regard to European politics,
must lack either memory or common sense.
We are there because our place Is there.

BENJAMIN Franklin.
From the New York Times.


Benjamin Franklin was probably the most
famous American of his time. Most Ameri-
cans would think that the name of Wash
ington or even of Jefferson should stand
above his on the roll. and so far as concerns
his own country that order would be correct
enough. But before Jefferson was known
beyond the limits of the colony of Virginia
and when the repute of Washington was
based solely on his skill and courage in the
unlucky campaign with the French and In
dams Franklin was recognized as a ''philos-
opher" in London and Paris, and the wis
dom of Poor Richard was read In scores of
editions in the various languages of Europe.
His theories and observations as to cleo
tricity and other natural phenomena had
made him known to the scientists and to
the vast numbers to whom science, In the
eighteenth century, was as much fashion,
able fad as motoring is today. In his long
residence in London as agent of the colo
MES and in visits across the channel he had
made friends among the noble, the wealthy,
the powerful and the learned, while his
pithy sayings. printed in broadsides or cheap
pamphlets were in the homes of the work
inemen and on the lips of the peasants In
deed Il Is hardly too much to say that but
for the prestige of Franklin, his wide &C
auaintance In Europe, his personal gifts and
the use he knew how to make of them; the
aid of France might have been lacking to
the American cause and the name of Wash
ington might have been linked in history
with an unsuccessful revolt.

The Philippine Tariff Bill

Both parties are to be congratulated on
the final vote in the House on the Philip
pine tariff bill. 1t was triumph of right
and broad thinking over selfshness and par
tisan defamation. The great majority of
the republicans gave the proper interpreta-
tlon 10 protection, while the great majority
OF the democrats. led by Mr.. Williams, re-
sisted an Involvement to embarrass their
opponents by a mere political play. The
real call was to do something. and both
sides obeyed it, Neither side will regret it.
Both should in some way profit by it. Dur

said. and some clever maneuverfngs to de-

Work of the Audubon Society.

Nearly nine years ago there was formed
In this city IN association Of bird-loYers and
blrd-students under the title of the Audu-
bon Society. Last night this society held
It's annual meeting under circumstances at
testing the pronounced success of the en-
terprise. A large membership was re-
ported. with evidences OF steady gains and
81 constant increase in the usefulness and
achievements OF the society.
The Audubon Society began its work for
the sake OF the birds in largest measure
II is now working for the sake of the men,
bers of the community. 1t holds to the
high principle that In the degree that
human beings learn nature and acquire
respect for its manifold forms, they are
better equipped for their life work. Educa-
tlon, therefore. has been the keynote of the
Audubon SOciety's activity. and il has pur-
sued this policy OF education along many
lines and in various fields.
One of the notable works OF the local
society annually undertaken is the delivery
Of a series OF free public lectures by the
leading ornIthologtsts OF the country sThese
lectures are increasingly well attended and
have spread knowledge OF birds far and
wide. In addition, the monthly meetings
OF the society are open to the public, and
non-members have gained perhaps their
first conception of this fascinating science
by listening TO the papers there read and
The discussions engaged in by the students
OF bird life. An especially attractive and
effective form of educa ,ional enterprise is
the series Of spring outings for the study
OF the birds OF this locality, under the
direction OF capable ornithologists. these
field studies suppiementing the lectures in a
practical manner. The members of the So
ciety have also conducted bird classes free
for the benefit of the teachers of the public
schools and have given special Saturday
morning lectures to the children at the Pub
lie Library A close cooperation between
the library and the society has been marked
by excellent and gratifying results. A daily
bulletin Is posted during the migrating sea-
sons indicating the fight OF certain species
OF birds. and the society has also donated
valuable works on ornithoiogy to the

Marshall Field.

few weeks ago ulti-millienaire died
In New York city in circumstances which
gave rise to bitter reflections upon the
abasement of human nature, the abuse OF
power and the faint Of great wealth Yes
terday a man much more wealthy died IN
the same city, and today the country rings
with his praises as man or propity, OF
wholesome influence and OF success I'M
tinged with suspicion OF dishonor Between
Yerkes and Field yawns a great gulf. the
chasm of character.
Marshall Fields character may serve as
a model for the youth Of the land. just as
Yerkes' career serves as warning Both
men amassed great fortunes, but by differ
ent methods. Field leaves behind him a
clean record as man and monument to
his sound business principles. He was
farmers boy, and began his life work as a
clerk in dry goods store in a small town.
His employer in later years said that he
would never have picked the lad as future
merchant prince. 1t is difficult at that age
to discern the innate qualities of greatness
In all cases. This mans greatness lay in
his perseverance, his quick appreciation Of
opportunity, his courage, and above all. his
devotion to the sterling principles of fair
dealing.
He laid down for himself a code of con-
duct which was once thus expressed by
him in writing of himself:
He never gives a note.
He never buys a share of stock on mar
gin.
He is against speculation.
''fIe is no borrower.
ale has made 1t point not to incumber
his business with mortgages.
He does business on a cash basis
He tries to sell on shorter time than
competitors
He tries to sell the same grade Of goods
for a smaller price.
He holds his customers to a strict meet
ing of their obligations"
1t might be asked why all honest men
with Fields characteristics and holding as
firmly to his principles might not succeed
as amply. That question trends upon the
field Of economics. but it is not unanswer-
able. All should succeed, in kind If not in
degree. Marshall Fields success is not to
be measured by the figure of his fortune
alone. He would have stood as command
ingly, in a moral sense, as great an in
fiuence for good, If he had amassed mere
million" instead of the $780, 600 today
accredited to his estate. The vastness Of
his wealth merely causes him to serve a
little more conspicuously as an exampiar
Of the reward of honesty
The chief point after all of Fields career
Is that his fortune. great as 1t is. does not
today represent losses suffered by others.
He gave value for his receipts. He built up
trade through his own business He con-
structed. Other men of millions have built
their own success upon the bodies Of their
victims. 1t is reassuring in this day of
fierce competition and ruthless rivalry to
observe the completion Of so useful life
without the reflection that in its shadows

Cleveland and Parker

The New York Times of yesterday printed
this information:
"A meeting of leading democrats was
held at the Lawyers Club yesterday. Elk
President Grover Cleveland and eX-Judge
Alton B. Parker had luncheon there to-
Eether and discussed party matters at
length. II was considered advisable TO start
a national movement for the reorganiza-
ton of the democratic party, and 1t was
thought the movement woud be aided by
the action of Mayor Mcclellan in breaking
away from Tammany in most of his APP
pointments."
The Cleveland and the Hill forces in con-
junction should make a formidable party.
Judge Parker learned his politics sitting at
the feet of the Sage of Wolfert's Roost
and Mr. Cleveland, as we all know, is a
practical politician of both nerve and re-
sources. They know New York, from
eend to eend," and, working together for
Teorganizat ton purposes should be able to
revive the moribund democracy of that
state and set 1t on its pins again. The news
is good from every point of view, and par
ticularly from the news point. 1t IS slow
business writing about a party in trance.
one prefers live and active things.
Still there should be no mistake about
what such a leadership means. For an in
stance, eX-Controller Grout is quoted by the
same newspaper as follows:
81 am firmly convinced that there must
lie a reorganization of the democratic party
IN this city. The people don't want any
more bosses. They are firmly in favor or
busting the party autocrats who have been
In control so long. The popular plan would
be to substitute representative party Coun-
ellis of representative party leaders in the
place of these bosses"
It would not be proper to call Mr.. Cleve-
land a boss because the word is coarse
and a man who has filed the office of
President of the United States is entitled
to designations of dignity. But we may
say-because the record bears out the state
znent-that in politics he employs strong
means and exacts obedience. After he had
been in the White House few months
one of his admirers exclaimed in a tone of
pride and congratulatior: The democratic
party has at last got what 1t long has
needed-a master"
That IS the word, then-master. Mr.
Cleveland as a leader is master What
We have to consider is, does the democratic
party need a master? VIII 1t stand
master? Are the rank and file able to diff
ferentiate between boss and a master?
Mr.. Grout says that the people don't want
any more bosses" Very well Still they
must be led, and If the man appears who
can lead them like master and not like a
boss will they rally to him and take his
orders?
The Cleveland-Parker combination is in
teresting in every way. and full of posi-
biAties. All should welcome II, for 1t in
