THE MORNING OREO ONIAN. WEDNESDAY, JULY 9, 1902. WAIL FROM GRIGGS Says Roosevelt Is "Bluffing" in Fight on Trusts. BUT THEY DON'T THINK SO Democratic Chairman Finds One of tills Expected Issues, Gone Sale of Fort Hall Lands "Will Be at Po- catcllo Instead of Blackfoot. WASHINGTON. July 8. A Bhrewd Re publican long ago declared that the Dera .'ocrats could not make an Issue on the subject of trusts, as the Republicans would oppose the unlawful combination of capi tal as vigorously as the Democrats; there fore there could be no contest on that point. That this assertion Is true Is made evident by the wail that Chairman Griggs, of the Democratic Congressional campaign committee, issued today, in which he crit icises the President for not insisting upon anti-trust legislation while Congress was in session, and for delivering his message on the subject after Congress had ad journed. He declared that the Repub lican movement against trusts is merely a bluff, and will not amount to anything. It is rather an amusing condition that the President Is criticised by the Demo crats as either doing nothing or "bluff ing," while certain Republicans who are very much Interested in the trusts and large combinations are quite severeon the President for taking the firm stand he . has against the trusts, not only in his public utterances, but through his Ad . ministration.

Ferdinand Jackson Walr, who has been promoted from chief assistant to Pro fessor H. J. Cox. of the Government Weather Bureau in Chicago, to be first In spector of the newly created. Inspection department, embracing- the territory of the bureau, has been connected with the Weather Bureau at different points for 18 years, and with the Chlcaco station for the last 10 months.

Secretary Hay. who already has accepted the best portion of the work done in treaty-maklnc. and has It before him In the shape of a protocol promised to the last session of Congress, has taken steps to give this the form of a treaty and to have it signed formally by accredited rep resentatives of the Government of Colom bia ana of the United States, so that the convention may be laid before the Senate as soon as It convenes In December. By adopting this course the State Department will remove. It is expected, any chance of having the agreement already reached Columbia disturbed by anything that may occur as a result of a political change, for it is the purnose to hold that such agreements, once duly entered upon, are not subject to repudiation, even In the event of a change of government. The protocol referred to was so definitely drawn that not many chanses are re1 quired In order to adapt the Instrument for use as a treaty. No difficulty is expected to result In se- Cm.lng an abatement of the old provision In the canal franchise requiring the use of French material only In the construc tion of the canal, and the State Depart ment has already received assurance from the French Government which It regards as meeting the objection that has been made en that score.

Today we see, a relative, a friend or an acquaintance apparently well, and In a few days we may be grieved to learn of their serious Illness or sudden death, caused by that fatal type of kidney trou ble Bright's disease. Kidney trouble often becomes ad vanced Into acute stages before the af flicted Is aware of Its presence; that is why we read of so many sudden deaths of prominent business and professional men. physicians and others. They have neglected to stop the leak In time. While scientists are puzzling their brains to find out the cause, each Individual can, by a little precaution, avoid the chances of contracting dreaded and dangerous kid ney trouble, or eradicate It completely from their system If already afflicted. Many precious lives might have been, and many more can yet be saved, by paying attention to the kidneys. It Is the mission of The Oregonlan to benefit Its readers at every opportunity, and therefore we advise all who have any symptoms of kidney or bladder trouble to write today to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Blng hamton, N. Y., for a free sample bottle of Swamp-Root, the celebrated specific which Is having such a great demand and Temarkable success In the cure of tho most distressing kidney and bladder trou bles.
