HAMILTON TELLS OF HIS WEES REMARkAsLE IMPROVEMENT
 SINCE TAKING TAkLAc

Last Sunday my wife was able 10
 be out of the house for the first time
 in almost 2 year, and she wouldn't
 have been out then if Taniae had not put her on her feet is the remark able testimony Of William Hamilton
 who resides at 14s Preston St. Halifax.
 Nova Scotia. Canada
 Mrs Hamilton had spanish Influ- enza over a year ago. he continued.
 ''and had neysr been able to overcome
 the effects of it. Her appetite was
 gone completely and she fell of in
 weight and strength until she was as frail and thin as anybody could be and still get around. Her nerves were all
 torn up and the least little noise would
 make her jump and auiver like leaf.
 Many ! night she has lain awake un- iii dayli- int in nervous misery. She complained of dull throbbing headaches
 and il has made me actually suffec at
 times to see her so weak and run down
 and in so much pain. Somebody else
 had 10 attend to all the housework as
 she could just barely creep about the
 house and hadn't been able to go out of-doors for nearly twelve months.
 She was confined to the bed most of
 the time. and even when she would get up in her room for a while. she really ought to have been in bed.
 Tt sure was a surprise to me to see her build up the way she did since she started taking Taniac. Her appetite is just fine now, why. she told me the other day that if she kept on. she would eat Us out of house and home. Every day she seems stronger and more like her old self and she never complains of being tired and weak and run down anymore. Last Sunday she went out for a long walk with me. for the first time she's been out Of the house in nearly q year. She seems like different person and is begin ming to feel that her troubles are all over. Tanlac is the only thing that | ever did her any good and we both are happy as we can be over the way she has recovered her health since she
 has been taking it and We are glad to recommend it all the time

SHUTS AND THE LEAGUE.

Out Of the calm and distance of South
Africa a new light on the League of Ma
tions seemed TO be dawning upon one
who has been generally credited with
being largely responsible for the text of
that covenant. That celebrated cove
nant, which was known for a time as the
Smuts-Wilson covenant or the Wilson
SHUTS covenant, now seems to be large
ly renowned by General SHUTS, the
South African statesman, who is reports
ed in an interview in Cape Town to have
expressed considerable skepticism over
the inability of the league to exert any
influence over the progress of events in
Europe.
Strangely enough too, the general ar
rives at a point of view for South At
RIGA which accords with the point of view
of many wise Americans. He is report
ed as saying: This country does not
want to be selfish, but it wants to keep
away from European entanglements -
A wise South African sees the same OBJ
| lection to entangling his country in Eu-
| ropean complications as wise Americans
| have seen for their own land. This is a
significant declaration for one who was
at least a co-author of a scheme of
arbitrary brotherhood to bind all nations
together, pledging each to take up the
quarrels of the other.
General SHUTS is said to have called
attention to the trade conferences with
Russia and to the fact that Poland has
been waging war against Russia
though large parts of Poland are starv.
ing and typhus is raging and he in.
quires what the League of Nations is do
ing that it cannot stop this. The league
he thinks, ought to have prevented the
aggressive campaign of Marshal Pilsud
ski, and he is not satisfied with the off
cial explanations of the leagues failure
to function. Poland" he says, sis ar
ally member of the League of Nations
and yet cannot be checked in this en-
terprise."

DEMOCRATIC CONVENTIONS

THE CONVENTION OF 1856.

The democratic national convention of
1856 was the seventh in party chronicle
gy Figuring Jacksons convention in 1882
as the first. Yet, so far as the modern
era is concerned, this review may begin
with 1856, because it was that year when
the alignment between modern "republi-
canism" and modern democracy began.
The convention of 1856 assembled in
Cincinnati on June 2, with John E. Ward
Of Georgia in the chair. General Frank
lin Pierce of New Hampshire-who had
been chosen four years previously on tie
forty-ninth ballot as a dark horse'-was
seeking denomination. He was particu-
larly favored by the southern wing of the
party. Although there were three candi-
dates against him-James Buchanan of
Pennsylvania, Stephen A. Douglas of Hi?
nois and Lewis Cass of Michigan-the
real opposition focused in Buchanan who
was largely favored by the northern wing
of the party.
This sectional division was emphasized
on the first ballot, when the delegates
from the southern states divided as fol-
lows; Pierce 70, Buchanan 20, Douglas
IA, while delegates from the northern
states divided as follows: Buchanan LOG.
Pierce so, Douglas 10, Cass 5. Buchanan
led every ballot from the first to the sew
fell out and the convention divided as
follows: Buchanan 16S, Douglas 121.
This gave Buchanan a majority, but
failed to give him the two-thirds vote
which was, and is, an historic democratic
convention requirement. Douglas could
have used the two-thirds rule to veto BIZ.
! chanan because he had sufficiently stead

! convention. But Douglas had always been
a persistent opponent of the two-thirds
rule, and therefore when Buchanan pass.

and Buchanan was unanimously nominal

Milburn, where Mrs. Mckinley bravely
had received the terrible news.
For six days the President made such
steady progress that tn physicians felt
warranted in announcing that he was out
of danger. That night there came a
turn for the worse, and the next day all
hope was abandoned.
Its Gods way" the dying man said
in perfect resignation. His will, not
ours, be done" and he murmured his
favorite hymn. Nearer, My God to Thee"
He could still raise his arms to enfold
in one more embrace the wife who pite-
ously insisted, Il want to go, too, 1 want
to go too" Out of his faith, he assured
her, I'VE are all going. We are all go
ing"
A mighty chorus of Nearer, Ny God
to Thee" arose from the affairs of the
Nation, as the body of Mckinley was
carried to the Capitol in Washington
and thence to it's resting place on a
green hill at Canton. Mingled with the
sorrow of the peope was a feeling of hu-
initiation that their country the great
Republic should have. blacker record
of assassination than any despotism,
that the simp.o, freely chosen chiefs of
our democracy should be less safe in
their lives than cars or sultans. For
the third time in hardly more than a
third of a century. a president had
been assassinated, three out of seven of
the presidents elected, in thirty-six years
had been murdered, and these the
gentlest.
