 Doan's Kidney Pills make lasting cures. Bridgeport people testify.
 Here's one case of it:
 Mrs. John Doyle. A Clarence St., Bridgeport, Conn.,, says: My husband was victom of kidney trouble and suffered from severe headaches and pains in his loins. Whenever he caught cold, it settled in his kidneys, and at such times the pains would be doubly severe Seeing Doan's Kidney Pills advertised, he procured a, supply. used them as directed and found prompt re- lief Continuing their Use he rapidly grew better until cured.

The Litchfield Enquirer, in comment Ing upon the result of the late Sena- torial contest, credits itself with the assertion last November thatit "did not believe that the people of Connecticut would help the editor of certain pa- per. to pay off a personal grudge he may have against our junior senator" " This is evidently a reference to Edi- tor Clark of the Hartford Courant and 1t is the latest of the several motives attributed to him for his support of MT. Hill. Whether any such personal grudge" exists we have no information nor is it a very material point.
 If we might suggest a probable motive, it would be that Ed itor Clark believed MT. Hill the better man for the office; 1t is fact that editors are sometimes actuated by such considerations.

this connection, that Senator Brande- gee may entertain the idea that 1t fs time the general rule applying to post master in politics was at least recalled to the public mind, if not more strictly enforced than it has been.
 Quite possibly, he may even deem Postmaster Marigold of this city shin- ing example of the need of discipline when opportunity serves.
 It seems to be a fact that in so far as the two Senators may find them selves able to do so, the Federal ma chine in Connecticut will be reorgan- ized, with a view to it's use in their support in the future. They cannot make nominations, but they can hold them or perhaps reject them, under the rule of Senatorial courtesy" which allows the Senators from a state, when in political harmony with the domin- ant party, a decisive voice upon nom- nations for that state.
 Indications are that nominations for Federal offices in Connecticut, which may, be of Hill recon1nendation, will meet with trouble in the Senate.

 Because your case is difficult one, doctors having done you no good, do not continue to suffer without giving Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound trial. It surely has cured many cases of female ills, such as in- fammation, Liberation, displacements, fibroid tumors, irregularities, periodic pains, backache, that bearing down feeling, indigestion, dizziness, and ner- vous prostration. It costs but trifie to try it, and the result is worth mil lions to many suffering women.

Banker Clews still considers condi- lions unfavorable to stock speculation upon the bull side. He says:
 Indiscreet buying of stocks has been discouraged recently by conservative commission firms. The idea that prices were held at too high a level is now permeating almost all classes of op- orators from the big financial leaders 10 the small investors; therefore, the process of readjustment which has been long delayed is in progress. Security values have already had moderate Dl1rinkage; and as the short interest grows there, is more or less buying to cover any resulting rallies. But no general pronounced recovery is in sight, and cannot be expected until 1i- quidation is more complete and un- favorable conditions have been ade- ruately discounted.

ANTI-JAPANEsE AGITATION.

California appears to be very nucf h earnest in it's desire to restrict Jap lnese immigration, as much so as when the exclusion of Chinese was sought. The object is to prevent ab- Iorption of labor opportunities by the Immigrants, to the detriment of ma lives. "A similar argument could be nsed against any class of immigrants f sufficiently numerous. It has been ssed in Canadian possessions against natives of East India, and it might be nsed now and here. against Italians md Hungarians were it not that their kind of labor is needed, while no suffi- Ment supply is coming from elsewhere. It is urged against all these classes of bith any intention of permanent res ldencc but only to gain what would De . modest competence in their home countries and then. to return there. califoxnia's constitution has a provis- bn as to them, as follows:
 The presence of foreigners ineligible 10 become citizens of the United States . declared to be dangerous to the we'll being of the State, and the Legis- Iature shall discourage their in1Tpigra- lion by all the means within it's power.
 whether 1t is wise for California to ldnulge in Anti-Japanese action which night anger that nation. is g. question. Dapaneee trade with this country now considerable and likely to increase heavily under favorable and amica ble conditions, passes through California, greatly to its benefit. It would be possible, through unfriendly action to livert it. Should California anger Japan to the point of war, it would nfter the Philippines and Hawaii, take the brunt of the contest, with great loss to itself whatever the final result. There can be little doubt that eventu- lily Japan would be defeated, but not until after grave disasters upon our Pacific coast.
 We doubt very much whether Cali sornia has considered the pending uuestion upon all sides and in all its bearings. Before becoming involved in war with Japan, our navy should be largely increased, the Panama Canal completed, our army heavily strength ened and our Pacific Coast cities forti- lied.

Are the postmasters and other Fed eral officials who supported MT Hill In the Senatorial contest, to be dis ciplined therefor by the two Connec- ticut Senators? The case of Postmas- ter Allen of Middletown furnishes an illustration of what may be done to them. At the instance of Senators Bulkeley and rBandegee. Aliens re- appointment has been held up, the evil dent reason being his support of Hill. Senator Brandegee who has been ac- cused of incidence, has apparently "got busy" though not in the way expect ed from his speech of acceptance be- fore the General Assembly.
 There are several postmaste CTS who did more or less for MT. Hill The Norwich Bulletin calls attention to Postmaster Roraback and 1t is said, in

SOMETHING ABOUT YARMINTS.
Damage Worked BY Pests That the

exclusively on rats and MICE" said
James a. Rice OF st. Louis, to
Washington Post reporter. This
learned from an attendance upon a
hearing Of the committee on agricul-
ture OF the house the other day. The
committee was considering the agri-
cultural appropriation bill, and Doc
tor Merriam, chief of the biological
survey. was being heard. He told
the committee of the investigations
that have been made by his bureau.
These two little owls, he said, in the
short time they have inhabited the

stroyed at least 1900 mammals. in
