And now the daily papers are
trying to get up war between
Japan and the United States. They
claim that Japan want the Philip
pine Islands, as they lie close to
the Empire of the Mlkado. If the
Japs will pay us all they have cost
US, we had better sell mighty quick.

The new man at the head of the
Government Printing Office, seems
to be all right and is trying to clean
up the old junkshop. He has al
ready discharged one hundred in
competents, who had been loahng
around there for years drawing their
breath and their salaries and hang

try will say amen to it.

The coal strike situation is about
as follows; The anthracite miners
are all on strike and President Nit
chell has offered to arbi.rate; the
operators have refused his offer but
will submit one of their own this
week. Then will follow further dis
cussion though the the feeling at
present is that they will finally
reach some agreement. The soft
coal miners in Pennsylvania and
Texas have ali resumed work on
the 1903 scale, which gives the
miner a 81 per cent increase.
The operators in Ohio, Indiana and
Illinois have refused this scale and
a general strike exists in those fields.

There is more catarrh in this section

put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable. For
a great many years doctors pronounced
It a local disease and prescribed local
remedies, and By constantly falling to
cure with local treatment, pronounced It
incurable. Science has proven eatarrh
to be a constitutional disease and there

washington. u. C. July ss.-There
are lots OF matters which we are now
beginning to find out were neglected by
congress during its proiracted session.
Among them is one that the bankers Of
the country heartily desired, but through
some means they failed to connect with
the floor managers. ii Is, however. well
known In Gficial circles that thefalure
of congress TO pass the bin providing
for the issue Of 50 and $40 gold certiti-

sue OF larger number OF 81 and 81 bills

essary TO The needs Of moving crops.
There are now about t6000.G00 in silver
dollars and although an appropriation
has been made by congress for their
free transportation, yet there are few to
be transported, the amount being one
third that Of last yetr, which was then
thought insufficient
Another bit OF neglect has caused no
little bother at the patent office. Hand
ieapped 10y the tardlness OF congress in

ent Office authorities have been unable
to issue "rhe Patent Office Gaette on
its regular date OF issue It was only by
the most strenuous efforts that the is
sue of patents and copyrights has been
made possible on anything approaching
a schedule time. The method of is
suing this important publication has
been materially changed by recent leg
isiation. IN former days the dummy
card system was used. All printed
matter was produced mt the government
printing office Theproofs were then cut
up and pasted along with drawings upon
a large cardboard. llthograph Of the
whole page was then made. Under the
new system plates OF the sketches win
