The Buffalo Times, odited by Nor-

committeeman from New York state,
has published an editoral from which
the following very significant extract

“The New York Press, a Ilepqtfi-
ima nflwspaper, believes that William
J. Bryan wili be the Democratic
nominee for President in 1908, and
that the Republicans wU* 8i»nd no
d»m»f of winning the I^residential

who, like Mr. Bryan, ta close , the
people. Tim Press says tliat‘those
who are washing the trend of public
sentiment are convinced that ML
Bryan Is stronger with the American
jXKtople today than he was at either
timfchc ran for tho Presidency, and
that his strength increases with ex
traortftnury force.’ it declares that
‘the events of the last ten years have
proved wed the trie most most of tlw charges which
Re Made*I'onridfrililg‘the ripednl privi-
,..iege8.A«Hl defiant crinies of^ the Republt- great
corporations are true,’ Our
cau contemporary, is convinced, that
the abuses which Mr. Bryan related
frofn the stamp are more virulent
' than he himself declared them to be
and note* that the voters alt over 'the
...wiiutry,.‘are ..turning to men of more
‘radical’ principles and methods for
the solution of tire problems which
’will not be laid aside until they are

At last tl,e country has been givernn
“ “hiithhritative statement of the length
of time required to build tli6 I’anuom
canal,on the plan la iavor with the
administration at Washington.
Phairnmti fronts has said it will
take twelve years.

But.tlie Philadelphia Record wants
to know how this statement is to be

tion which the Record rises to ask is
a poser- „„ ,.
i The appropriations for the canal for
'the current, year amount to over #28,-
000,000; and the work is uot even in
tail blast It'would he fair to assume
tliat when the steam shovels and
dredges get into tall swing the annu¬
al appropriations will be even larger.
If#28,000,000. be a fair yearly aver¬

‘more than twice the sum estimated.

pteased to learn that there 1s at'least
one dreaded disease that science l;as
been able to cure in all it» stages, and
that is 1,’atarrh. Hall’s Catarrh Cure Is
the only medical positive cure now known to
the fraternity. Catarrh being
a constitutional disease, requires a eon-
stitutionat treatment. Hafl’s Hail - Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting direct¬
ly upon the blood and mucous surfaces
of the system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and giving
the patient strength by building up
the constitution and assisting nature
in doing its work. The proprietors
have so much faith in its curative pow¬
ers that they offer One Hundred Dol¬
