Botter last weejfc, one year ago, 20c. v iV'jQdge C. E. Fuller hae jostreturned Iron) Washington, D. C., where he went to look after his appointment as succes­ sor to Judge Grosscup on the federal bench. Mr. Fuller s&ys he is not pre­ pared to eay what the outcome will be but hie friends are hoping that his ap- pointment is an assured thing. IV The same Georgia which so loudly lattd« President McKinley now will not give him one electoral vote should be be renominated. It cannot, therefore, be rationally {held that he sought to do other than heal old wounds and solidify the sections by his visit and sympathetic sentiment* so eloquently phrased. IWNeither President McKinley nor any member of the cabinet is at all alarmed over the situation in the Philip­ pines, sensational publications to the contrary notwithstanding. Everything received from Gen. Otis indicates that he has the situation well in hand. The source of what trouble there is in the Philippines is bad advice given the in­ surgents by outsiders who are interest* d in making the Filipinos suspicious of our intentions towards them. It is the policy of the administration to deal kindly and leniently with Aguinaldo and his deluded followers, unless they make a resort to harsher measures necessary. Our object is to give the islands good government, peace^and prosperity. A very different policy will be followed towards the med­ dlers, if the responsibility tor the med* dling can be officially placed. WrDr. F. S. Whitman, of Belvidere, has received the appointment of superin­ tendent of th& Northern Illinois Hospital for the Insane, at Elgin, to succeed the late Colonel -Hamilton. The appoint­ ment came from Governor Tanmr and was a surprise to the doctor's most inti­ mate friends. In fact it was something of a surprise to him also, as the appoint­ ment was unsought. MTGov. Pingree declaims that poor men, not rich ones, should go to the United State senate. There should be no eligibility based upon wealth or the absence of it. Men who can and will do best service should be choson. These can live six months upon $5,000 if need be; or, like our foreign ambassadors,'use up f75,000 a year, should their inclination and means warrant. , •WGov. Roeevelt has been given the /bievet rank of Brigadier General for gal­ lant and meritorious service at the bat­ tle of San Juan, upon the recommenda­ tion of a board of officers, Gens. Swan and Boynton and Col. Carter, which has been charged with the duty of making an examination for the purpose of ascer­ taining and reporting to President Mc­ Kinley the names of officers who deserve bnvet rank for heroism. 'M, ; I^Uaving nothing else to growl •bout, the opponents of the administra­ tion are criticising President McKinley because he sent the treaty of peace to the Senate with only a short message ol transmittal. He did so purposely, be- cause the treaty speaks for itself and he prefers that it be ratified on its merits. The committee on Foreign Relations took up the treaty at its meeting, and it Is expected that it will be favorably re­ ported next week. Its ratification is re- jjkrfed as assured • 1® That much married Utah congress­ man, Mr. Roberts, is likely to meet an Ob pleasant reception when his creden­ tials are presented. American wives and - Mothers, outside of Utah, take unkindly to the proposition oi harem-proprietors, be they as wise as Solomon in statecraft, loosing as members of our national gov­ ernment. Women well realize that some­ thing is due their dignity and status in in this country, and a congressman with ** galixy of wives will not do. List of Patents.'

The United States have not treated her any Bore harshly than Germany treated France in 1871 or Russia treated Turkey in 1878. Therefore, the Spanish mem­ orandum of protest is unreasonable and Unjustified."

Con­ sumption is a disease that invariably causes loss of flesh. If you are light in weight, even if your cough is only a slight one, you should certainly take Scott's Emuslion of cod liver oil with hypo- phosphites. No remedy is such a perfect prevent­ ive to consumption. Just the moment your throat begins to weaken and you find you are losing flesh, you should begin to take it. And no other remedy has cured so many cases of consumption. Unless you are far advanced with this disease, Scott's Emul­ sion will hold every in­ ducement to you tor a perfect cure.

The Best Tree! When we were boys we could always tel' which were the beet tree» by the number o» clubs under them. The boys soou find out where the beet fruit hangs--below that tree see the cluster of clubs. The club* thrown at the Crown piano show its value--.ts worth. It's the best. When the ••sinffle-t«n«" piano menjtel! yon that the "many-tone" Crown piano will not wear, don't you believe it, tor H outwears them all, and is warranted for ten yearc, when theirs are only warranted for fiv® years. The devices, covered by 11 original and ex­ clusive patents, by which the Crown piano can imitate, 60 perfectly, the tones ot some twenty or more different instruments, more thin doub'e the life of the Crown piano a> a piano, hence it is warranted tvrioe aa long as the "sins:5e tone" piaros are. The warrant of the Crown piano Is "burnt in tl-e bacK" of each piano, and its maker is right here with you, and has ueen for thirty years, to make that warrant good. No other maker has dared to put hit warrant in Such a shape as this, so that he cannot escape If he wanted to. No wonder that the makers and sellers of two hundred kinds of "single tone" pianos try, by throwing clubs and * mud" at the Crown piano, the only one of "many tones " try to keep you from seeing, hearing an«i buying it. It's a case of '-sour grapes"-- hav ing p anos of but "one tone" to offer you they try to "belittle" the only piano of "many tones," the Crown.

Cl ; " ° - ant appears from a statement in the Railroad Gazette that mileage of railroad construction (jftiring the year 1898 has been larger tlian daring any other year since 1892. The new con- ttruction has been chiefly in the region west of the Alleghanies. Minnesota leads, with 253 miles, followed by TexiH; with 188 miles; Louisiana, 171; Alabama, • ,wv < 161; Oklahoma, 157; Arkansas, 140; 'V^;-Vllainev 123; California, 115; Missouri, J ill; Michigan and Georgia, each 104; y JD&nada built 448 miles, 262 miles being by the Canadian Pacific;.
