A BIG PAPER.

The Annual Fall Trade Edition of the Columbus Enquirer-sun would be called "a bouncer." if it were a, baby, but as It is a fuli-grown newspaper we suppose we might call 1t a whopper. At any rate, there are fifty pages of 1t. all of them loaded with illustrated and descriptive matter relating to the city. Columbus has long been noted as misunderstanding city, but in addi- tion 1t is admittedly the commeroial center and. distributive point of one of the finest sections of the South. Its situation on the Chattahochee and it's immense water power give it ex- ceptional advantages, and 1t is making the most of them. Such a paper as this edition of The Enquirer-Sun is a credit to Columbus. and Columbus de- serves all 1t says of it.

HIS ONLY HOPE

After a siege of seven years flIness most of which time life seemed in the balance, Mir. A. Thompson, a well known business man Of Milwaukee lfv. ing at 427 Chestnut St., who was sui, fering from an affection or the stoms ach and liver, was finally told by his physicians that an operation would be necessary to save his life. With the same determination and iron will that had carried him safely through his long illness, Mir. Thompson natly refused his consent. That was some weeks ago. When seen recently he was much bet- ter and gave this statement for publi- cation. T did not believe an operation was necessary so dismissed my physi- clans and began a treatment or Coop+ er's New Discovery ana Quick Relief, as had heard of many cases similar to mine that they had cured After us- ing these wonderful medicines for about two weeks am improved to remarkable extent. have tried ev- erything and would advise any sufferer from stomach or liver trouble to stop experimenting and use these remedies in the first place for they are the only sure cure.
 Cooper's New Discovery is the great tonic for stomach trouble and general run down condition of the systems it sells for one dollar per bottle. Coop CTS Quick Relief. the assistant reme- dy which is used in connection with the New Discovery costs fifty cents. The remedies are sold only by E. U. Fowler.

WHAT DID IT.

Congressman James T. McCleary, of Minnesota. who was defeated for re- election in the late contest--very much to his surprise-comes forward with an explanation of his downfall He tells us that "the damned farmers did it" Several other Republican Con- gressmen who thought themselves safely anchored in their places were politely invited by their constituents to stay at home, and probably they might give the same excuse for their failure The Louisville Courier-Jour- nal. commenting on these eases. says;
 The damned farmer" is an intelli- gent voter. He has time to make him. self cOnversant with political ques-. tions. national and local, and he gives the average city man. Since he de- feated McCIeary for being a rabid standpatter. Babcock for being a trim of the purveyors of impure foods and Hearst for being pretender to pure patriotism give the damned farmer his due. He constitutes at once a powerful and sound element in national and state politics.
 Leaving out the implied profanity we suspect that Mir. McCleary is just about correct in his verdict. The far mers constitute a very predominating class of our national electorate. and if they set their faces against can didate he stands a good chance to be knocked out. Not that the farmers may be expected to all vote for the candidate or candidates of one party, for they do not and should not, but if they are dissatisfied to the extent that they feel no interest in voting they have a habit of staying at home that is not pleasant to the candidates. On the other hand. if they are fully aroused in favor of a candidate, they can turn out and vote for him with as much loyalty as any class. Perhaps the stay-at-home vote is responsible for as many defeats as the opposition vote is. MT. McCleary can swear at the farmers as much as he likes. but that will not get votes for him or hls party. l.-

 St. Petersburg. Nov 26.--A confer ence in Finland of representatives of Social Democrats from all parts of the empire has just closed
 The conservative wing carried a res- oIution in favor of uniting with the constitutional Democrats at the com ing elections, where their chance of election separately are admitted to be slight. Tn the Caucasus, Siberia and elsewhere, where the socialists are strong, independent tickets will be nominated. -~7H
 The radical faction at the social Democratic conference fought hard for independent nominations everywhere claiming that the constitutional Demo- erats and the middle classes were the most deadly enemies of socialism. The delegates reported that the people gen. erally were indifferent fin regard to the elections and that 1t was necessary to institute most active propaganda in order to excite interest
 The monarchists and reactionists, finding that their interests have not driven count Witte out of Russia, held a. meeting at Moscow today and tele- gFaphed directly to the emperor asking for his expulsion from the empire.
 Cout Witte's revival of the publica- ton The Slovo is said to indicate that he intends again to become a potential factor in the situation. According to a dispatch from Sochi, in the Caucasus where Count Witte has estates, the re- port that he will become a candidate for election to parliament was receive ed with great enthusiasm.

ROADS AND MAILS.

In a recent issue of The Buffalo News there Is an editorial which starts off in this way:
 NO government can afford to deliver mail over roads that are a fright for months in the year: Cur government declines to undertake it. When roads become so hard to travel that rates of ditions the rural delivery routes may be discon ntinued until better days come to such sections of the country
 The editorial is headed, Good Roads or no Mall" and goes on to show how the people of every community who expect or desire free delivery are un- der obligations to provide good roads for the mail carriers to travel over. The system of rural free delivery is now becoming a prominent and essen tial part of our postal system. {. It was not until a comparatively recent period that anything of the kind was attempted in this country, but 1t has spread remarkably and is getting to be almost universal. The advantages are so many and so plain that no one can fail to see them, and none would wish to see the system discontinued, since 1t has been so fairly tired and it's advan- tages so thoroughly demonstrated.
 But 1t should be understood that the national government should not be ex- pected to do all that is to be done. It is enough that 1t furnishes the carriers, provides them with horses and vehicles, and sends them out into the rural dis kNE For he of the country people The States, the counties and the people should provide good roads for the carriers, by which their labors will be frightened and their work expedited. In plain words, the government should not be expected to send out it's malls where there are not fairly good roads to travel over.
 None but those who have lived in the country. miles from a post-ofAce. can realize the many advantages of the rural delivery system. To have their letters and papers brought to their doors, as 1t were, instead of having to send miles to a post office. is Rn inno> vation and advantage which city folks hardly imagine, but which the country people can fully apreciate They can best show their appreciation and make some return for the favor by putting thesnselves to a little trouble and ex- pense providing good roads In other words, if they want the mail carriers they must open the way for them. As The News further remarks: it is right for the government to take the stand that 1t will not attempt to deliver the mails over routes that would tire a Russian. No other public money is better invested for huge returns to communities that that put honestly and intelligently into the important high ways, and the insistance of the gov- ernment is going to bS powerful inc centive to improvement"

 Sold Under Guarantee.
 No matteA how severe or chronic a case of catarrh you may have, consult E. c. Fowler about the use of Hyomei. He has so much faith in the eflcacy of this treatment that he gives his per sonaI guarantes with every outfit he sells that 1t will effect a cure, or the money will be refunded.
 In many instances ayomei has cured catarrh when the patient has suffered from childhood. Quite few people in Montgomery who have been unable for years to get good nights sleep on account of the disagreeable tickling and dropping at the back ot the throat, have obtained quick relief from a few treatments with Hyomei, ard the con- tinued use has made complete and lasting cure.
 There Is no stomach dosing whom one uses Hyemei. Simply breathe It's med- icated healing through the pocket in- l.aler that comes with every outfit, and all catarrhal germs will be killed and the mucous membrane will be healed.
 A complete Hyomei outfit costs but S1, sufficient for at least two weeks treatment, making 1t one of the most economical methods of curing catarrh. If the outfit does not complete a cure, extra bottles of Hyomei. if needed, can te bought for 50 cents. Remember that there is no risk In buying Hyomei. It costs nothing unless tt cures. CD

A DoUBLE CRIsIR.

Much has been said about the das- tardly deed of the anarchist who caus- ed the explosion of a bomb in St. Pe- of the denunciatfon dealt out on the subjest is directed against the crim- inal because he desecrated the church, but that argument is without point. To a genuine anarchist there is noth- ing holy or sacred. He would de- stroy church with as little compunc- ton as he would blow up any other building. Doubtless there was some pne in St. Peters whom he wanted to kill and in order to accomplish his criminal desire he set oH his engine of destruction in church crowded party is concerned his crime was no greater than if he had tried to wreck q theatre. He was blood-mad and the location of his crime does not add to his criminality. All places are alike to the genuine anarchist, and an at without regard to the character of the building. That no one was killed in this affair is the most wonderful feat ure of the matter.
 But while the location of the crime makes 1t neither better nor worse, there are other reasons-in some de- gree sentimental. perhaps, why the act of this mfsereant should be execrated. One of these Is the building itself cons sideved as a work of art. For almost three centuries St. Peters has been one of the wonders of the world, where the genius of Angelo. Raphael and other famous architects and painters has left evidences of the highest art known to the world. To destroy such a build ing. or attempt to destroy it, is q crime which almost amounts to a sin. with out regard to the name of the struct- ure or the uses to which 1t is put. It is a building which has never been duplicated and perhaps never will be. and while the act of this anarchist was not rendered more criminal because he tried to destroy a church, he is to be doubly detested for trying to wreck such an incompatible structure as this one is.

NOT APOOR LOn

When we speak of Indians we are not in the habit of looking on them as wealthy people. 'Lo, the poor In dian." has been quoted so long and so often that most people consider them at the bottom of the financial ladder, so to speak. The following extract from The Oklahoma Magazine will give the reader a different conception of the Indians condition:
 Who in the average walk of life would not willingly be called poor" and have from S20 to 1000 acres of good land and several thousand dol lars in the national treasury? Such is the case of the Indian, who, under sympathy of those unfamiliar with conditions and affairs in the Terri tory.
 Some 1,500 OsaEes are now receiving their 1000 acres each of land, and will share equally the eight million dollars deposited to their credit in Washington.
 The allotment of the Choctaw and Ghlckasaw lands gives to every man, woman and child of those nations a for tune equivalent to S10,O0O in addition to a homestead of from 16O to ,32O acres. The Cherokees. Creeks, Poneas, Oteos, Kiowas. COmanches, Apaches, lCheyennes and Arapahoes--in. fact all the Indians of Oklahoma and Indian Territory have now from 160 to 400 acres of land, and their per capita share of surplus lands and tribal funds.
 Poor Lo is indeed the richest tribe or nation in the world from a hnan- citl point of view.
