HUESEL, Next Rep. 73rd. District. Sedgwick county He is a hust and has in his make up every character necessary to success in he was born in St. Joseph county Chicago in 1871, and 8 years la- moved with his parents to North Urban Plain township, this county there he grew to manhood. He re- ceived his earlier education in the public schools of this county later dened the Lewis Academy and fin- ned his education at Lane Univer- sity, Lecomptan. Kans. In 1893 with a team of horses and 10 cash as his sole resources, he made the race into the "strip," seered a valuable claim near Dear Seek in Grant county, where he remained five years and then moved back to Sedgwick county. How well he has succeeded in these years is evidenced in the fact that he is now the owner of 480 acres of good and near Cheney, some valuable residence property in Cheney, and third interest in the firm of Wulf Cos & Heusel of Garden Plain and Cheney, in which business he has been actively engaged since 1899. Few young men have duplicated a record, and it showed a dissection to hustle and an adaptability to do business ability to do business that his friends without his dictation, picked him out as the super man to represent the West strict in the legislature, and they are predicting that there will be still greater evidences of his hustling qualities when the returns come in November. A WINNER M. B. This is the likeness of John M. Chain. Republican candidate for county Clerk. Mr. Chain has made splendid record as County Clerk during the term which he is now being and will be complimented by being re-elected. A NECESSITY. We urge upon the colored voters of Sedwwick county the absolute necessity of voting the whole Republican ticket straight. We, the colored people, of Sedgwick county, have been and are now clamoring for some kind of clerical appointment at the hand of the Republican party, but it is an impossibility for us to ever hope to get such appointment unless the Republican party Hon, John W. Adams, Our Next Rep. 72nd District Hon, John W. Adams, Our Next Rep. 72nd District is in power. In order to do this every colored voter must vote the straight Republican ticket on next next Tuesday. We cannot hope or expect anything at the hands of the Populist or Democratic party, as is shown by their record for the past twelve years in this county. Every since 1890 the Democratic and A. M. HON. CHESTER I. LONG, Our Able Congressman Populist parties have had full control of the county offices and we challenge any one to show us one instance wherein those parties or either of them have given the colored people any thing except janitors. During these twelve years that the Democratic and Populist parties have been in power in Sedgwick county there have been five years that there was not a colored man in employed at the court house in any capacity, not even as janitor. If in twelve years time those parties have not seen fit to give the colored people anything, how can we expect them to do it now? They will not do it. We are sincere when we say WICHITA, KANSAS NOV 1, 1902. PROBATE JUDGE T.C. Wilson He will be re-elected Nov. 4th that every colored who has the race interest at heart and who really wants to see the colored people get a clerkship at the court house, will vote the straight Republican ticket. We are in earnest when we say we verily believe that if the Republican party such will be the colored voters' reward; and we are not in the habit of funning with our people on a matter so important as this—we mean it. We always try to say what we believe for investigation to be a fact and we truly believe this. We wish to get the ear of the colored voters and hope they will take PROBATE JUDGE He will be re-e at our word and go to the polls on Tuesday Nov. 4th, make a cross in the circle under the EAGLE and do not make any kind of mark at any other place Do this and you will then vote a straight ticket and help get for the race that recognition for which we have been clamoring was due the race.

Charles H. Luling, Republican candidate for Insurance Commissioner, the the colored people of Kansas have a friend tried and true. There is no 1 Hon. Geo. A. Clark, Next Clerk of the District Court. colored man in the state who knows him or who knows of his great work in behalf of the colored people, but who will fight day and night for him. We cannot say too much for him. We do not talk from hearsay or from maybes, but from experience. He has lived in Sedgwick county for a number of years and is well known over the entire state; the night has never been too dark or too cold; the day has never been too hot or too dreary, the opposition and odds has never been too great, nor the audience 'too large that this grand man would refuse to come to the relief of a colored man. God only gave one other such as he and PETER H. HARRIS that other was Abraham Lincoln. His friendship toward the colored race does not date from the time he entered politics. No! no!! but long before he ever thought of being an aspirant for any political honors, he was the same Charley Luling, and known far and wide as the one man who would dare advocate justice to the colored man. It is a duty which very colored man owes himself, his family, his race, and his friend, Mr. Luling, to work unceasingly for such a man. It is but a little appreciation which we can thus show him for the nany friendly acts and deeds which he has always shown race. We should not only vote and work for him ourselves, but we should not only vote and work for ourselves but we should insist for us ghbor do likewise. We will shita know him and we will stand by him through thick and thick. When the colored men of shita were refused work it was 1 Hon. Henry Schad The Man To Elect As Sheriff Charley Luling, their friend, as a member of the council from the 2nd ward, who threatened to block all legislation in the city council unless the colored men were given a f.ir prairia of work from the city and they got it. When there was so much talk and so little done to establish a colored fire house, it was Charley Luling, who steered a resolution through fixing a time when the colored men should be appointed and draw regular pay whether the house was opened or not. And this was done. While a member of the legislature of 1901 it was Charley Luling who fought for and advocated a large appropriation for the Indnstrial school at Quindarc.

Will the colored voters stand for a thing like that? Will any colored man vote for any ticket in whose ranks it is said that the "damn Nigger vote", as they call it, can be bought for 25c or 50c. We say no! ten thousand times no! May God forbid. There is one lesson which is true —if you befriend a man, pick him up and help him out, stick by him through thick and thin, discommode yourself for him, nine times out of every ten that man will become your worst enemy, and will do you more harm, if possible, than you have done him good. Thus it pays a man in most cases, to paddle his own oinoe and let others do the same. This come to us from experience.

The Searchlight is Republican in principal from the ground floor up, but it believes in fair play. We want, of course, every colored man to vote the straight Republican ticket, but if there is any colored man who thinks that he can hop anything at the hands of the Democratic party, after the Democratic party has been in power in this county for twelve years and has absolutely refused to give the colored votes any recognition at the court house, if, we say, with this undeniable record to start with, any colored man can see any future for the colored voters with them, then we say go with them, and may joy and peace go with you. But we see no future hopes or present prospects for any thing for the colored man at the hands of them, and advise every colored man who loves his race, his family and his loved ones to vote for the Republican party, the party of Lincoln, Grant and McKinley, the party of FREEDOM TO THE SLAVES, the party of equal rights, the party of justice before the law, and, above all, the party who gave us the right, through a Republican congress, to call ourselves American citizens and gave us the RIGHT TO VOTE.

ABOUT TO CLOSE The campaign for 1902 is almost at a close. On Tuesday, Nov. 4th the ballots will be cast. The campaign has, beyond all question, been the most quiet one which has ever been waged in Kansas or Sedgwick county. We are, however, of the belief that it means a grand victory for the Republican party. To say that much work has been done, is to say lightly of the executive ability of the men who have had the management of the campaign in hand. There seems to be a universal oneness of opinion that Republicans have a splendid ticket this year. While the campaign has been quiet, yet the colored voters have not lost sight of the great battle which they are working to accomplish—viz: that in the event that the Republican party is successful they wish some appointive clerical work at the court house. It goes beyond all question that they are entitled to it. Out of all the counties in Kansas containing a first class city—such as Wichita is—this county is the only one in which the colored voters have never been given any clerical work. It is due them and it falls to the duty of the Republican party for whom they have labored and been loyal so long, that this party should see to it that they are given it. is claimed that promises have been made in the past and they held only during campaign, but we hope that this year it may not be so. We believe that the colored people's should go solidly for the Republican ticket this fall, put them in full power of the county offices and then see on what grounds they can refuse to grant this request. All the men on the Republican ticket this fall are tair thinking men and all, we believe, will be willing to make the party pledges good and it remains to be seen what the result will be. W. R. Kessler Republican candidate for Surveor, M. M. McCollister, Republiaan candidate for Coroner are the men to vote for. You will sure vote for them by voting the the Republican ticket straight. Get a Searchlight, if you want the news. Stand By Charles H. Luling has been "cussed at" because of his friendship to the colored people, but, today he is as firm a friend as he was before he aspired for any political office. There is one thing sure that Mr. Luling may rest assured that the colored people will show their appreciation by voting for him on any occasion, fer any office to which he may aspire. The only regret which the colored people have is, that they could not more plainly show him how really appreciative they are. Onr cry is now and will always be:— Hurrah, Hurrah, we'll vote for him, Hurrah, Hurrah, we'll vote with vim. Stand by him all day long And elect him good and strong. For we will stand by Charley Lulng. And on Nov. 4th we will give three cheers, Hurrah! Hurrab!! Hurrah!!! for Lulng; and march to the polls and vote solid for our friend, Chas. H. Luling. A MISHAP. We had the mi-fortune of having our 2nd and 3rd pages of our paper of last week, 'pied'. We had the papea at the place where we print and had them in our cart ready to take out when our young colt suddenly lunged forward, causing the whole paper to become "pied". No one regrets these things more than we, but it is a thing which happens many times in the life of every newspaper. It means much additional work and worry to us and some delay to our readers. We printed our paper an time, however, but the local news was, of necessity, absent. We print on Thursday this week containing all the "live" locals of last week with of this of this week added. We wish to thank our readers for their kind indulgence and hope that we may be more fortunate. Make a cross (X) in the circle under the Eagle. No place else. A GRAND MEETING The big Chester I. Long meeting at the Auditorium Tuesday night eclipsed any political meeting which has ever been held Sedgwick county. The large and spacious auditorium was taxed to its utmost capacity and hundreds of people were turned away. Hon. Chester I. Long can well feel from Tuesday night's demonstration that the people of Sedgwick county will supdort him most cordially. The meeting was opened by a very appropriate and witty address by Judge R. B. Welch, of Topeka, followed by a masterly address by Hon. Chester I. Long, which was fine in every detail. One of the features of the evening was the big procession preceeding the meeting The procession was 6 blocks long and was headed by Sanford's band un. the Old Soldier's Republican club followed by hundreds of others; in the center was the Imperial colored dand followed by 275 boni fide colored voters. The meeting was grand. Much credit is due Hou. A. M. Denny, chairman of the Republican County Centsal Committee, Hon. J. H. Mc- Pherson, Sect. of the. Republician County Central Committee and Hon J. M. Knapp, Congreasional Com itteman, for their streuous work in making this meeting the success which it was. These gentlemen certainly workek hard to make the meeting what it was. And they deserve the highest compliments for their work. 6 QUARTERLY MEETING The quarterly meeting at the A. M. E. church last Sunday was one of the best over held in that church. The services were conducted by Presiding Elder J. W Braxton, who preached three eloquent and able sermons. In the afternoon a general hanbshaking was had and during this ceremony every body felt good. There were very few dry eyes in the church. As a result of the good afternoon meeting, the church was crowded at the night services. All went away feeling that it was good to have been there. [Picture of a man with a mustache and a suit]. Adolph C. Husey Who will represent the 71st Dist. REYIEW OF THE FREED. Rev. H. V. Plummer, pastor of the 2nd Baptist church, gave a glowing account of the advancement of the the race, last Sunday night, in summing up the work of the Baptist State Convention recently held in Kansas City. He said that this Convention was the grandest which has ever met in Kansas. Its work was marvelous. The work being done by the women of that denomination is something which appeals to all. The foreign work under the splendid management of Miss Delaney, who is in Africa, is grand in every detail. Eiss Delaney's appeal to the women was met by a donation of $21.00 from the women and a dledged fvnd of $50.00. The men are not far behind. On a whole the work was something that the whole race may well be proud. Make a cross (X) in the circle under the Eagle. No p'ace else. Hortense—"Sadie, I don't know whether to be mad or glad.

Shaw, Wichita, Kansas It is not now nor ever has been the policy of this paper to assume or attempt to assume the roll of a dicta or or leader; in all that we say and in all that we do, we have only one object in view, and that is, to state the facts as we see them, and then leave to each one to dictate for himself what course he would peruse. In spending our opinion on the various subjects which daily confront us, we do not do so with the finest idea or hope that we will say or do every thing which please every body. This is not our object, because we are too well aware of the fact that that is an utter impossibility. We speak as we see the right, and no more, and no less. We family believe that the great majority of our people are with us when we try to speak that which is true. Some men, however, run from the truth, as a thief from the eye of the law—such men are unconvineible—and it is a waste of time try to convince them. But take the great mess of our people, the honest thinkers, and they are always susceptible of conviction, and they see right or a man or woman who is striving to do right, they are with them. We dislike the dictator as well as do others—let everyone be his own judge, and then should he judge wrong no one is to blame but himself. In this campaign our motto has been simply to state facts and now we leave you to judge. We believe that the colored voter can better benefit himself by voting the solid Republican tick et than he can otherwise, and we believe that the race in general will be benefited. We believe, also that the great majority of the colored voters believe as we do, and will on next Tuesday Nov. 4th go to the polls and place a cross (X) under the Eagle and, thus vote the solid Republican ticket. They say that the Democrats are using $500 00 to buy the colored vote. The colored people are too wise to be caught in such a trap. If some men would spend more time in trying to hold their jobs and less time mixing in politics, their jobs would last longer. It's a foolish man who is not content with well doing. Of course there are none such men in Wichita. No! No! Thos. C. Wilson, as probate judge has been an ideal officer. He will be a winner on Nov. 4th. The grumbler, the constant fault finder, the tattler, the tale bearer, and the "wise man are all the offspring of the devil and their mission on earth is liken unto that of the devil. Remember Otto G. Eckstein; he is the right man for County Atty. Let every voter vote for him and make him happy by getting a great big majority. It takes us 24 hours out of every day to take care of our own business and let other people's alone so it is quite a wonder to us how some people can find so much time to "nose" in other people's affairs. We wonder if they have cleaned their own skirts. It's an awful hard and yet an easy thing to mind your own "biz". Try it if you can. "Race leaders [?]", "Big Politicians (?)", and men of "big sinfluence" are as thick ss flax seeds in a bushel basket, in Wichita, the dayi.

Heals Diseases Called Incurable Ministers, Doctors and Professional Men Tell How He Has Cured the Blind, the Lame, the Paralytic and Many on the Very Brink FREE HELP FOR THE SICK. Professor Adkhn Offers to Help All Sufferers From Any Disease Absolutely Free of Charge—Professional Men Investigate His Powers. A. PROF. THOMAS F. ADKIN, Preident of the Institute of Physicians and Surgeons. In all parts of the country men and women, doctors and surgeons, clerkmen and educators, are wondering at the remarks le cures made by Professor Thomas F. Adkin, discoverer of the Adkin Vitapathic treatment. Behold the Adkin, nor by nor by Christian Science, nor by Osteopathy, nor by Hypnotism, nor by Divine Healing, but by a subtle psychic for e of nature in combination with certain vital magnetic remedies which A reporter recently talked with Prof. Adkin and w asked to invite all readers of this paper to be sick or who are worried by four kinds of these problems: one is assistance. "Some people have declared," said Professor Adkin, "that my powers are of God, they call me a Biblical healer, a man of mystique, who does not have given me the opportunity to make a made or the ability to develop them, if he had not intended that I should use them for the good of humanity. I therefore feel that it is important that I should use the science practice to all who are suffering. I am to tell your readers that they can write to me in the strictest confidence if they are troubled with any kind of disease, and I will thoroughly explain the charge and explain by a simple guaranteed treatment how a complete cure should be effected. I are not how serious their cases, nor how hopeless they may seem. I want them to be well and them well. I feel that this is my life work." So great is the sensation wrought in the medical world by the wonderful cures performed by the several professional gentlemen were asked to perform. Among these gentlemen were Dr. L. B. Hawley and Dr. L. G. Doane, both famous physicians and surgeons. After a thorough and thorough examination of the patients, they were so astounded at the far-reaching powers of Prof. Adkin, and the wonderful efficiency of Vitapathy that they volunteered to treat. In addition, other kinds of treatment and devote themselves to Prof. Adkin in his great work for humanity. With the discovery of the Adkin Vitapathia treatment, eminent physicians are now able to treat patients whose disease has at last been reduced to an exact one. In all some 8,000 men and women have been cured by the powers of Prof. Adkin. Some of them have some were paralytic, scarcely able to move so great was their infirmity. Others were afflicted with Bright's disease, heart disease, consumption and other so-called incurable diseases, and other similar ill. Some were men and women and other similar ill. Some were men and women and other similar ill. All in cases Prof. Adkin treats he guarantees a cure. Even those on the brink of the grave, with all hope of re-remission, are repaired by doctors and friends alike, have received health by the force of Vitasophy and Prof. Adkin's marvelous skill. And, remarkable chance has made no difference. Those living in the poorest enclosed in the privacy of their own homes, are even those who have been treated in person. Prof. Adkin asserts that he can cure any one at any cost as well as though he stood before them. Not long ago John Adams, of Blakesbury, Ia., who had been lame for twenty years, was perished in a car accident without an operation of any kind. About the time of the city of Rochester, N. Y., was stranded by the oldest residents, Mr. P. A. Wright, who had been a long period. John E. Neff, of Millersburgh Pa., who had suffered for years from a cataract which was speedily restored to perfect sight, who was from Longsport, Ind., comes the news of the Mrs Mary Eicher, who had been practically ill, to the arsenal, Pa. Mr. G. W. Savage, a noted photographer, who was not only partially blind and dead, but who was restored from a complication of diseases, was restored to perfect health and strength by Professor Ada Vitaphathy cures not one disease alone, but it serves all issues when used in combination with other properties. If you are sick, no matter what you please, nor who says you can not be cured, write. If you are not an Akin for day, tell him the leading symptoms of your complaint, how long you have been suffering and he will at once diagnose your case, tell you the exact disease from which you are suffering. If you are so very ill, you are not the one you are just, positively cure you. This is you absolutely nothing. Professor Akin will also send you a copy of his marvelons, new book titled "How to Be Cured and How to Cure Omitted." This book tells you exactly how Professor Akin will cure you. It fully and completely describes the nature of his wonderful treatment. It is not a claim to you how you yourself may possess this great healing power and cure the sick around you. Professor Akin does not ask one cent for his services in this connection. They will be given to you absolutely free. He has made a wonderful discovery, and he wishes to place it on the hands of every sick person in this country, and he may be restored to perfect health and strive to have your letter personal when you write, and no one but Professor Akin will see it.

Queen Draga must have dropped a letter off the end of her name. The trouble with the air ship is that it is so apt to be out of its element—Puck. Isn't there some able-bodied man in Belgium who can give King Leopold a swift kick? Strike out "obey" from the marriage ceremony. This is the age of revolt, not obedience. Trouble in Macedonia has assumed almost the proportions of a South American revolution. Will Wall street never learn that it cannot safely do $1,000,000 in business on $10 capital? Boxing contests are prohibited in Kentucky. They want the real gouge-eye article down there. In the tropics there is no monopoly in the necessaries of life. That is the situation in a cocoanut shell. Ping-pong punch has made its appearance in New York. It is reported to be fully as bad as its name. Apparently Venezuela does not wish to have the rest of the world know just how serious the situation is. According to the ruling of a court justice it costs a dollar in Missouri for a man to whip his wife—if he can. Evidently there is money back of the defense of William Hooper Young, for his attorney believes him innocent. If you are tempted to refer to any one as "a peach" these days—well, don't do it. Remember, peaches are cheap. There is something about the name of Capt. Sverdrup, the Swedish explorer, that is suggestive of a game of old sledge. South Africa will be compelled to pay $500,000 as its share of the cost of feeding the British army on jam and jelly. It is probable that the duchess of Marlborough would trade her title for the honor of being a plain American girl once more. It is reported that the Cubans are finding it difficult to obtain work. What happiness the average Cuban must be enjoying. Mr. Hanna says he has been informed that "stand pat" is a phrase used in poker. Mr. Hanna has been correctly informed. It may interest Explorer Baldwin's "angel," Mr. Zeigler, to learn that the Duke of Abruzzi is an inveterate smoker of cigarettes. A New York paper says that trusts are as old as man. It will be remembered that the serpent in paradise organized a trust in apples. Pietro Mascagni and General Booth came over in the same steamer. Perhaps Pietro has agreed to raise the level of Salvation music. If new nicknames should be given the various states now, it is a foregone conclusion that New Jersey would be known as the Great Trust State. England is disposed to admire America's public school system. Every now and then England discovers something worthy of attention in this country. If New York had not spent so much money on monkey parties over at Newport last summer it would have more dollars now with which to transact business. Prof. Robert Hill, a scientist, having inspected Mont Peele, is going on to Texas. As between Peele and Texas, the professor seems disposed to jump out of the frying pan into the fire. It is reported that the Princeton geological expedition to Montana found there, among other fossil remains, a dinosaurus with a tail fourteen feet long. This is indeed a remarkable story. While picking a pocket horse chestnut to ward off rheumatism, Frederick Blabaum, a Pennsylvania farmer, fell from a tree, fracturing his right leg and left arm. Presumably he hasn't felt the rheumatism since. A New York man who died the other day left a collection of over 100 snuff boxes. So live, young man, that when you die the world will see you had a definite object and aim in life. An explanation of the astounding spread of profanity is found in the census bulletin showing that one person in every forty-five has a telephone. Prof. E. Benjamin Andrews has declined a raise of $1,000 a year in his salary. The politicians will hereafter regard him with increased suspicion. FIRM ON THE TARIFF. SPEECHES BY SENATORS HANNA, FORAKER AND LODGE. "Stand Pat!" Says Hanna, While Foraker and Lodge Are Equally Strenuous in Deprecating Any and All Interference With the Dingley Law. "My friends, I have only a few words to say to you this afternoon, for I have to be with you all the fall. A year ago it was my privilege to attend the opening of the Republican campaign, and after looking over the situation I came to the conclusion that I should give you a piece of advice, 'Let well enough alone.' That was the whole chapter, that was all there was in the campaign. To-day I say, 'Stand pat.' You are not on the defensive in Ohio or anywhere else in the United States or in the Philippines. "Now we have come to the proposition that there is need for a revision of the tariff. I believe the tariff is good enough as it is. "If the time shall come when the tariff needs revision it will be done by the men who made the tariff, and if the mon whose wisdom contributed to its construction see that conditions require a change they will make it. If I am asked by a man to change the tariff I always inquire of him if it is necessary to change it, and if he thinks it is, I ask him why it is necessary, and if we start out to change it where shall we begin? There are too many interests involved to change the tariff."—Senator Hanna at Akron, Sept. 27. Senator Foraker at Akron, Sept. 27. "They are not in any proper sense of the word a party question, and they never can be made so. For this reason I would ordinarily devote but little time to them. But the refusal of Speaker Henderson to be a candidate for re-election because of the attitude toward them of some Republicans in his district has brought the whole subject to the attention of the American people in such a way as to make apology for a few plain words unnecessary. "In the first place, trusts did not originate here, as a result of the tariff, but in England and European countries where they have free trade and where they had trusts of every character long before they became common in America, and where to-day they are more numerous than they are in the United Staees. In the next place, what to-day are called trusts generally are nothing more than large corporations, engaged, as a rule, in perfectly legitimate business, and as such they are but a natural evolution of modern industrial conditions. Democrats and Republicans alike promote them, organize them, hold stock in them, conduct them, and share in their benefits and advantages. They exist because there is a demand for them; not a political but a business demand. "They have become a feature of modern business conditions the world over, and in consequence they are a special necessity here in the United States, where we are compelled to invade and capture foreign markets or slacken the pace at which we are going in the employment of labor and the development of our resources. The Republican party recognizing this fact will correct evils and prevent and punish abuses; but it will not hamstring the business of the country to please Mr. Bryan or anybody else. While it remains a power it will continue, on the contrary, to inaugurate and uphold policies that will give employment to both labor and capital alike, remembering that both must flourish or neither can." Senator Lodge at Boston, Sept. 27. The burden of Senator Lodge's speech was that the tariff should not be tampered with at this time. He said that an attempt to revise the tariff now would be to injure the business interests of the country to a degree that could not possibly be compensated for. He admitted the Dingley tariff bill was not a perfect law, but said that much of our present prosperity was due to it. Touching upon the duties on hides in that law, Senator Lodge said that he and his colleague, Senator Hoar, permitted it to be incorporated into the bill only under extreme pressure. The Massachusetts senators were forced to the alternative of subjecting hides to a duty or of causing the defeat of the whole bill. They had chosen the broader course, understanding perfectly well that their decision adversely affected the shoe manufacturing industry of New England. But in doing that they had assisted New England and the country at large in attaining a general prosperity. It was simply a case of the greatest good for the greatest number. Mr. Lodge was not optimistic regarding the advantages to be gained by this country in reciprocity with Canada. The question resolved itself down mainly to one of coal. Under reciprocity we would send Canada good coal and she would send us poor coal. Again, reciprocity would give Canada an added market of 80,000,000 persons, while it would give us an additional market of only 5,000,000 persons. He said that the form of reciprocity advocated by Blaine and McKinley of necessity has a limited scope. He referred to the Argentina treaty, which would benefit New England, but which is strenuously opposed by the cattle raisers of the west and the wool growers of Ohio. A tariff treaty with France could not be accepted by the United States on the basis proposed, for the reason that this country would be giving France preferential rates, while our goods would be forced to go into France precisely the same as those for any other country. France discriminates against the United States, and that fact must be taken into account in any treaty relations between the two countries. Dealing more specifically with tariff revision, Senator Lodge said that there could be no sectional legislation. In other words, New England could not insist on tariff revision for its particular section without sacrificing much more than could possibly be gained. Senator Lodge ended by saying that the Republican party could be trusted to effect tariff revision when conditions warranted such changes, and that when that time came the tariff would not be revised on free trade or sectional lines.

Free Trade and Free Riot. The book issued by the Democratic Congressional Committee for the inspiration of that party's speakers and the instruction of the voters in the present campaign contains 377 pages almost entirely devoted to two subjects. About one-third of the volume is filled with censures of the American army's conduct in the Philippines. The remainder is chiefly devoted to denunciation of the policy of protection to home industries. Reciprocity is described as a humbug and worse than protection. The head and front of the army's offending, from the viewpoint of the Democratic authors of this book, evidently is that it put down lawlessness and restored peace and order in the islands. The Democratic substitute for this policy is, of course, that we shall leave the islands at once and permit their people to resume those throat-cutting diversions which we so cruelly interrupted. Because, while the American people have prospered under the protective policy as never before in their history, trusts have also flourished, these Democratic leaders would abolish protection out of hand and substitute for it absolute free trade. "Free trade," they observe, "would open our markets to benefit our own country." Free trade is their remedy for trusts and all the ills they ascribe to protection. Free trade with all the world is the goal they set for the nation and to which they promise the Democratic party will lead. The American people have had, however, considerable experience of the Democratic policies of free trade and free riot, and do not care for any more.—Chicago Inter Ocean. The Farmer's Way. It is rather noticeable that the Democratic papers are not resorting this year to their time honored custom of telling the honest farmer that he is the victim of Republican misrule. Things have come the farmer's way so directly during the present administration of affairs that the old Democratic wall would be worse than a poor joke. His lands have increased, in value more than twenty-five per cent, and everything the farm produces sells at prices far in advance of those offered in the days of Grover the Good. The Indiana farmers are also in favor of letting good enough alone.-Terre Haute Tribune, Invariably. The great trouble is, tariff reform, as it is called, has been attended with disastrous results—Clyde (Kan.) Herald. Mrs. Tupman a prominent lady Mrs. Tupman, a prominent lady of Richmond, Va., a great sufferer with woman's troubles, tells of her cure by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. "DEAR Mrs. PINKHAM:—For some years I suffered with backache, severe bearing-down pains, leucorrhoea, and falling of the womb. I tried many remedies, but nothing gave any positive relief. "I commenced taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound in June, 1901. When I had taken the first half bottle, I felt a vast improvement, and have now taken ten bottles with the result that I feel like a new woman. When I commenced taking the Vegetable Compound I felt all worn out and was fast approaching complete nervous collapse. I weighed only 98 pounds. Now I weigh 109½ pounds and am improving every day.

In cases where bronchitis has become chronic from want of proper treatment in the earlier stages, there is nothing so good as Dr. August Koenig's Hamburg Breast Tea, in conjunction with which is strongly advised the use of St. Jacobs Oil as an outward application along the front of the throat, from close up under the chin to well down to the top of the chest; the one remedy assists the other and as intended, they work in complete unison. The wonderful penetrating power of St. Jacobs Oil enables it to reach the adhesion of foreign matter, which lines the bronchial tubes and which makes breathing more and more difficult. As these adhesions become inflamed and enlarged St. Jacobs Oil causes such adhesions to break away, making expectoration easier and more free. Dr. August Koenig's Hamburg Breast Tea, drank slowly and very hot, soothes and heals the parts, is comforting and quieting, stops the cough and relieves the breathing. This manner of treatment (and there is no other two remedies that will work together so successfully) reaches; the difficulty from the outside and the inside at the same time. St. Jacobs Oil reaches the roots of the adhesion and assists Dr. August Koenig's Hamburg Breast Tea in clearing them; then both remedies act in unison in healing and curing. The above remarks apply with equal force in cases of asthma, croup, whooping cough, enlarged tonsils and all bronchial affections. Every family should have St. Jacob's Oil and Dr. August Koenig's Hamburg Breast Tea always in the house in order that they may be promptly used in the first stages. Often the maladies develop with wonderful rapidity and complications take place with equal suddenness. Preserving St. Louis Trees. Actuated by a desire to preserve as many as possible of the trees and to have their shade in the broad avenues of the exposition at St. Louis, the director of works will have 700 trees, each twelve to thirteen inches in diameter, lifted and replanted.

But they insist upon a systematic and constant effort on the part of the beneficiary. Why He Opposed War At the beginning of our war with Spain a teacher of a primary class told some of her boys about the war and asked all who favored it to hold up their hands. Up went every hand but Jack's, a boy of 8. "Why, Jack, why are you opposed to the war?" asked the teacher, and Jack's surprising answer was, "Cause, Miss Sophie, war makes history, and there's more o' that now 'an I can ever learn."

While here Mrs. Burton has been the means of doing much good by introducing to her sick friends a remedy which it seems is very popular in Kansas, but which has not been very much heard of in this neighborhood. It is called Dodd's Kidney Pills and in every case where it has been used it has produced wonderful results. Mrs. Burton has good reason to speak well of Dodd's Kidney Pills, for they have done much for her and her family. She says: "I must tell everybody what Dodd's Kidney Pills have done for me and for as many of my friends as have used them. "I had a very bad case of kidney trouble for which I had been doctoring for a long time without benefit. I saw Dodd's Kidney Pills recommended. I tried them and was completely cured.

Mr. Boies says: "Ever since the Civil War I have had attacks of kidney and bladder trouble, decidedly worse during the last two or three years. Although I consulted physicians, some of whom told me I was verging on Bright's disease, and I was continually using standard remedies, the excruciating aching just across the kidneys, which radiated to the shoulder blades still existed. As might be expected, when my kidneys were in a disturbed condition there was a distressing and inconvenient difficulty with the action of the kidney secretions. A box of Doan's Kidney Pills, procured at Lamparter & Co.'s drug store, brought such a decided change within a week that I continued the treatment. The last attack, and it was particularly aggravated, disappeared." Cure Confirmed Four Years After. Four years later Mr. Boiles says: In the spring of 1896 I made a public statement of my experience with Doan's Kidney Pills. This remedy cured me of terrible aching in the kidneys, in the small of my back, in the muscles of the shoulder blades, and in the limbs. During the years that have gone by I can conscientiously say there have been no recurrences of my old trouble.

CAPITOL BUILDING SALEM, OREGON. A Letter From the Executive Officer of Or Pe-ru-na is known from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Letters of congratulation and commendation testifying to the merits of Pe-ru-na as a catarrh remedy are pouring in from every State in the Union. Dr. Hartman is receiving hundreds of such letters daily. All classes write these letters, from the highest to the lowest. The outdoor laborer, the indoor artisan, the clerk, the editor, the statesman, the preacher—all agree that Pe-ru-na is the catarrh remedy of the age. The stage and rostrum, recognizing catarrh as their greatest enemy, are especially enthusiastic in their praise and testimony. admirer of Pe-ru-na tinally in the hour to Dr. Hartman STATE OF EXECUTIVE SALEM. The Pe-ru-na Medicine Dear Sirs—I have your Pe-ru-na med for colds, and it pro lent remedy. I have to use it for other a Yours very true It will be notice says he has not had ru-na for other aim this is, most other a Any man who wishes perfect health must be entirely free from catarrh. Catarrh is well-nigh universal; almost omnipresent. Pe-ru-na is the only absolute safeguard known. A cold is the beginning of catarrh. To prevent colds, to cure colds, is to cheat catarrh out of its victims. Pe-ru-na not only cures catarrh, but prevents. Every household should be supplied with this great remedy for coughs, colds and so forth. The Governor of Oregon is an ardent admirer of Pe-ru-na. He keeps it continually in the house. In a recent letter to Dr. Hartman he says: STATE OF OREGON, EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT, SALEM, MAY 9, 1898. The Pe-ru-na Medicine Co., Columbus, O. D. Dear Sirs! I have had occasion to use your Pe-ru-na medicine in my family for colds, and it proved to be an excellent remedy. I have not had occasion to use it for other ailments. Yours very truly, W. M. Lord. It will be noticed that the Governor says he has not had occasion to use Pe-ru-na for other ailments. The reason for this is, most other ailments begin with a cold. Using Pe-ru-na to promptly cure colds, he protects his family against other ailments. This is exactly what every other family in the United States should do. Keep Pe-ru-na in the house. Use it for coughs, colds, la gripe, and other climatic affections of winter, and there will be no other ailments in the house. Such families should provide themselves with a copy of Dr. Hartman's free book, entitled "Winter Catarrh." Address Dr. Hartman, Columbus, Ohio.
