SUBSCRIPTION PRICE. One week $ 15 One month 50 One year : 6' 00 FRIDAY - - - - MAY 26, 18? 9 No one supposed a year ago that the regiments raised in the far West would bear the brunt of the fighting. War brings many surprises that may be called destiny, for human fore sight fails to reach them. When the boys of the far West come marching home from Manila and are welcomed personally by the president, they will feel that the American wno serves nis country is a pretty bir man, no matter what his rank. "- It is understood that the United States' delegate to La Hague will advocate courts of arbitration, the non-confiscation of cargoes not con traband of war and the extension of the Geneva convention to war on the sea. On other questions the in fluence of this country will be found on the benevolent side. Each month the treasury publishes a report of the money in circulation and an estimate of the national pop illation. On May 1, according to this authority, there were 75,875,000 people in tne united states, an in crease of 138,000 for April, and of 45,000 for the four months of the caienaar year, counting new pos sessions, tbe census of next year will be in the neighborhood of 85,000, 000. Tbe Boston Journal tells of Massachusetts woman who attended a meeting m Denver, where Gov, Thomas remarked patronizingly that but for the women he would not- have been elected. "I made up my mind then and there," the visitor says "that if 1 nomas was a specimen of woman's work in politics they never should be allowed to vote , if I could prevent it." Colorado's governor must be more cautious in illustrating his ideas. k The New Yoik Sun takes very little stock in predictions that Bryan will not carry off the Democratic nomination next year. It said a few days ago: "The Albany Evening Journal is sure that 'Mr. Bryan will not be nominated for president,' for a combination of powerful elements to defeat him has been formed.' There must be ghost-seers and pho tographers of phantoms in Albany. The combination of powerful ele ments to defeat Mr. Bryan belongs to that viewless realm where the money kings conspire against the producing classes." Lawton wages war on the Napole onic plan of hitting quick and hard. He would not allow , the Filipinos to talk unless they talked business. This, too, was tbe Grant idea. The terms were unconditional surrender, or be would move on their works. "Very little time, moreover, was given them for decision. They had to decide while they ran. This is not the way the Spaniard waged war against Agiiinaldo. There is very little1- romance or picturesqueness about this sort of campaigning. No chance is allowed the other fellow to recuperate. It is the most humane and sensible sort of war, however. It brings the end quickly. Deafness Cannot be Cared, by local applications, as they cannot reach tbe diseased portion of the ear There is only one way to care deafness ' and that is bv constitutional remedies Deafness is caused by an inflamed con dition of the mucous lining of the Eus tachian Tube. When, this tube is in flamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect bearing, and when it is en tirely closed, Deafnees is tbe result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing! will be destroyed for ever ; nine cass out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing; but an in flamed condition of the mucou9 sur faces.
