John Hanson, convicted by jury
yesterday afternoon, of the charge Of
highway robbery, told Of having been
confined in an insane asylum, from
which he escaped. This was verified
by a letter received by Atty. Taylor
Crum from the authorities at Roches-
ter, MINI. However, they refused to
take him back. During his incarcera-
ton in the Cass county jail he has
been in the case of physician, being a
morphine field. The amount has been
constantly reduced until the man is
in fine shape now.

Mrs Moore is a housewife of excellent
standing in the community where she
resides. Every one acquainted with her
knows her to be a woman that can be
relied upon for veracity, Just consider
what she has said.
First, she was suffering with catarrh
so badly that her hearing was almost
destroyed. She was a misery to herself
and her friends. She had tried many
physicians and medicines, but none Of
them gave her any relief. She was
completely discouraged, and considered
that her health was gone. Now, this
was her situation.
Then she says, "After using two or
three bottles of Peruna I began to i'm
prove" She kept on taking PeFuna
until her hearing was perfectly re-
stored and her cstarrh cured, and she is
now enjoying the best of health.
No wonder she feels like saying that
Peruna ought to be in every household.

QUESTION OF EXCLUSION.

Senator Newlands of Nevada seems
to be the one safe and sane Individual
who has come to the front since the re-
vival of the anti-Japanese agitation.
The senator recognizes the fact the
landing of unlimited hordes of the
brown men upon the Pacific coast
would result in a conflict. He is also
aware of the fact that an amalgama-
ton of the races is both undesirable
and unwlse In addition to this he
knows that state laws would produce
friction without accomplishing the de-
sired result. Consequently the Nevada
senator favors a federal statute strong
enough TO cover the case
All the talk about American SYM
pathy for the nation which, fully
armed, has secured a commanding posi-
ton in the Orient, does not affect the
question of self-preservation which
now confronts the people of the United
states. The negro we have with US for
all time to come, but there is no good
reason why we should attempt the as
Sanitation of the yellow and brown

who annually flock to this continent.

it does so the agitation will certainly

pRoeREss IMPOSSIBLE.

Some of the Republican papers are
complaining that all progressive legis-
lation, by which is meant the so-called
Roosevelt policies, has been killed so
far as the present session of congress
is concerned. and Speaker Cannon and
Senator Aldrich are roundly abused for
the failure to take action. The Phila-
deiphia North American, which is for
the party first, last and all the time,
makes the following mournful an
nouncement:
The advocates Of the postal savings
banks bill have no longer the slightest
hope that il can become law. The
bills relating TO the establishment or an
cry other measure to which the reac-
tionaries have been opposed is doomed,
merely because the time of the congress
has been frittered away, until it is now
so late that only necessary routine can
be considered.
This is the result of the system which
obtains In both houses, and Is really
stronger than majority in either house
So insidiOusly. too, does the system oper-
ate that il has served the ends of the
legislative manipulatoTs almost without
permitting others to know just what has
been happening. 1t works, also, without
apparent direction, and in such manner
that the records of the leaders show
nothing upon which they could be called
to account.
Not one word has been uttered by and
of the house bosses against a single one
o. the measures which they had deter
mined should not pass
In the senate hardly any argument has
been made against the postal savings
bank measure, yet these legislative prop
sitions, in which the public has been
Interested. and which would aid the gen.
eral welfare, have been as effectively de-
feated as If the full strength of the two
houses had voted against them.
Probably the indictment is true.
Nevertheless, Speaker Cannon and SEN
ator Aldrich will be in active command
of both houses at the next session of
congress. being kept in power by the
votes Of the Republican majority. Con-
sequently any sins of omission OF COM
mission are directly chargesble to the
party, and not to any individual con-
nected Herewith. Perhaps the North
American and other papers of its class
who partially see the right way realize
the impossibility of revision by the
friends" of the tariff or the enactment
of reform laws so long as the Repub-
lican party remains in power.

thus denied the opportunity of using

AWAITING JUDGMENT.

1t is unofficially given out that Rep
resentatiYe Mann is to succeed Hep
burn of Iowa as chairman of the house
that there viii be no tinkering with the
existing statute at the present session
Of congress. Two hundred amend
ments to the act have been thrown into
the waste basket by the committee,
and a message of President Roosevelt
has met a similar fate.
In the opinion of majority of the
committee the law has not been given
a proper trial in the two years of its
existence, and il is thought that to
amend il at this time would only be
INDUCING in new experiments. Most
of the amendments which have been
before the committee were designed to
give the commission authority to sus-
rate until a hearing had been had. This,
it was claimed. would protect the ship

increases were reasonable.
