* Blight
It is a sad thing to see fine
fruit trees spoiled by the blight.
You can always tell them from
the rest. They never do well
afterwards but stay small and
sickly.
It is worse to see a blight
strike children. Good health
is the natural right of children.
But some of them don’t get
their rights. While the rest
grow big and strong one stays
small and weak.
Scott’s Emulsion can stop
that blight. There is no
reason why such a child should
stay small. Scott’s Emulsion
is a medicine with lots of
strength in it—the kind of
strength that makes things
grow.
Scott’s Emulsion makes
children grow, makes them eat,
makes them sleep, makes them
play. Give the weak child a
chance. Scott’s Emulsion will
' make it catch up
with the rest.

FAITH PLICAIMNG AGAINST UN- j
FAITH.
Congressman McCall, of Massa
chusetts bravely voiced the minor
ity sentiment of the republican :
party when he bitterly protested ;
against the passage of the Phillip- j
pine tariff bill as constituting a ■
stain on the national honor, as
menacing the integrity of repub
lican institutions and the future |
peace and safety of the republic
| and as violating every dictate of;
| interest and justice, says the St
s Louis Republic. But this consci
entious republican was pleading
jin vain in thus appealing to the
dominant section of his party.
American republicanism is now
controlled by a group of arrogant
and masterful politicians, who
have surrendered their souls to the
lust for wider dominion and the
spoils of commercialism. These
men do not permit themselves to
he governed by the principles
upon which the republic was foun
ded. They decide every great ques
tion upon the basis of dollars and
cents. They see a profit in hold
ing the Philippines as a dependent
colony, subject to oppressive tax
ation. They eagerly abandon the
true American faith in order to
gain this profit. They feel no com
punction that the logical and inev
itable result of such a repudiation
of republican principles is the sub
stitution of an Empire for a Repub
lic, in fact, if not in name.
Congiessman McCall’s admirable
speech must be regarded as far
more significant even than that of
the democrat, De Armond of Mis
souri. To the latter, the imperial- 1
i->t republicans relv that his pro
test represented simply an attempt
to make party capital from repub
lican action. They cannot use this
argument against Mr. McCall. A
man does not vote against his
party in congress on an issue of so
great importance unless he realizes
keenly and feels deeply the sin
about to be committed by his party.
When he does bring himself to vote
with those arrayed against the or
ganization of which he is a mem
ber, he knows that he is running a
grievous risk of political annhila
tion. Conscience alone gives him
the courage to accept the risk and
abide the consequences.
The Philippine tariff bill hasi
been passed by the dominant im
perialists in congress with an utter
disiegard of American protest. The
bill is a distinct violation of the
teachings of the men who won
American freedom and established
the free and independent United
States of America. The unfaith
ful ones who are thus betraying
the faith coming from the Patriot
Fathers are leading this country
and people into the paths of shame
and sorrow as surely as the sun
rises in the morning and sets in the
evening.
More miles of track has been
laid in this country during 1901
tnan in any year since 1890. Ap
proximately there are 200,000
miles of railroad in the United
States, a trifle more than two-fifths
of the entire mileage of the world,
which is placed at 484,348. No
other country or continent ap
proaches the United States in the
amount of mileage. All of Europe
has only 168,605 miles of track.
Seventy-one years ago there were
but twenty-three miles of railroad
in the United States. In the last
thirty years the mileage has quad
rupled. In 1883 the number of
tons of freight carried one mile
was 39,000,000,000. Last year the
number was 141,000,000,000. At
the same time freight rates have
decreased from 1.4 cents per ton a
mile in 1887 to 75-iootlis cents in
1900.
Some seem to think there is dan
ger in the situation developed by
the assembling of a German fleet
in Venezuelan waters with an Am
erican fleet there at the same time.
Germany, as well as other nations,
by this time know about what they
would be up against in a clash
with America’s navy.
Rear Admiral Schley, according

Some warm contests over pro
posed new measures are expected
in congress which reassembles
this week. The Nicaragua canal,
the ship subsidy and the Philip
pines tariff measures are the most
important that will be considered.
The efforts of the French company’
to sell the Panama canal to this
country at “any old price,” may
put anew phase on the canal propo
sition, which everybody seems now
to favor in some shape, and give
the opponents of the Nicaragua
route new hope and they may find
means to work delay if they do
not defeat the pending measures.
It is generally believed one of the
bills will be passed. The demo
crats oppose the ship subsidy and
the Philippines tariff bills, both be
ing republican measures.

Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady
heart beats, and makes one feel as though
they had heart trouble, because the heart is

London, Dec. 30.—“-Commenting on
the London Times’ statement from
Washington that persons of considera
ble importance in official circles there
profess to believe that war between
the United States and Germany is in
evitable, the St. James Gazette, though
it does not believe that such a disas

there can be no doubt that English
sympathy will be with America. At
the same time the St. James Gazette

their obligations in Europe.

SOME CHANGES MUST BE MADE
Else Argentina Will Not Accept the
Terms of the Protocol With Chili.
Washington, Dec. 30.—Advices re
ceived by Senor Infante, the Chilian
charge and affaires, confirmed the news
already published that the Argentina
minister at Santiago had informed the
Chilian minister of foreign affairs that
Argentina could not accept all the
terms of the protocol heretofore sign
ed by the settlement of the dispute,
and that some changes would he neces
sary in the instrument.
Senor Infante’s information is that
there is no foundation whatever for
the statement that a change was made
in the protocol by the Chilian minister
of foreign affairs, but that on the con
trary it was published as agreed upon
between the representatives of the
two governments. The understanding
here is that no formal demand has a3
yet been made upon the Chilian gov
ernment for a change m the terms of
the protocol, but that the matter has
simply been one of informal talk at
Santiago.
Mr. Infante continues to express his
firm conviction that there will be no
war because of the present misunder
standing.
BIG DEMAND FOR COAL.

ICE JAM IN ALLEGHENY RIVER.
Caused Overflow of Stream, Threaten
ing Railroad Bridges.
Pittsburg, Dec. 3j.—The threatened
flood as a result of the heavy rainfall
of Saturday and Sunday has been
averted by the cold snap and the rivers
at this point will not reach over the
20-foot stage.
At 10 o’clock the marks registered

night a big ice jam formed in the Al

ened to sweep the new railroad bridge
away. The gorge caused the rivers to
overflow and at 4 o’clock this morn

legheny, w’ere flooded. The Allegheny
department of public safety at once
sent out men to warn people living in
the lower part of the city to vacate
tlft:' homes, but half an hour later the
jam broke with an awful crash. The
ice was forced mltween the Ft. Wayne
bridge piers by the immense volume
of water and some of the false worn
under the new bridge wa3 torn away,
but otherwise the structure was not
damaged. About 25 loaded coal barges
lying along the bridge on the Alleghe
