The statement was advanced that President McKinley row had a golden opportunity to buiid up a white man's Republican party in the South if he would go about it in the right way.

LORD ROSEBERY, FORMER PREMIER OF GREAT BRITAIN, WHOSE BOOK ON NAPOLEON SHEDS NEW NECTED WITH THE FRENCH oo LIGHT ON EVENTS CON- AT ST.

That has been the question of inter- est since the publication by the | former Premier of his mono- graph on Napoleon's life at St. Helena. It gives new light on history.

We are but in the | experimental stage of the theory that a | government of the people can be governed by ‘ts people, and it is but a question ot time when the entire universe will follow our successful demonstration of that the- ory. It is almost beyond man to concelve what a wonderful idea it is that men of this country are the makers of their own lgws and possessed of equal fran- chises. The charges of bribery and cor- ruption during our electlons are infinitesi- mal compared to the truth and goodness of our people. It is impossible to point to a circle of a hundred men and say there is not one who is not above suspi- clon. “Our public school system is the great- est in_this world, and it is due to that fact that our people can be educated to overn themselves. It is not alone secu- ar but moral training that gives us the power of self-government, for without morality we would not last long. . “With our immense moral force as a standard we can let the eyes of the world be on us. Our example must infect other nations and other nations must clamor for a government of this kind.” Rabbi Voorsanger held the attention of a large audlence last night at the Temple Emanu-El while deiivering a lecture on “Good and Evil." “The question' of good and evil is one that has been debated upon since the first founding of soclety.” said Rabbl Voor- sanger, “‘and soclety has decreed that the standard which brings the greatest good {8 the standard to follow."” ML g BELLIGERENT LAWYER ASSAILS TWO OLD MEN Apparently Unprovoked Attack Leads a Market-Street Crowd to Rough- ly Handle an Attorney. Kdward Shirran, formerly a clerk in the office of the District Atforney under a previous administration and now an at- torney with offices in the St. Ann build- ing, made a viclous and apparently un- provoked assault, about 10 o'clock last night, on two elderly men, John Tungate of 856 Mission street and H. Benjamin of 511 Minna street, on Market street, near Sixth. ‘Tungate was for years chief clerk in the District Attorney’s office, and Benjamin has been employed in various capacities in the .city government.

The Bank of British Columbia of thia city is about to retlie under its present title and to take the name of the Cana- dian Bark of Commerce, of which it is a branch. Notice to that effect has been sent out to those why have been doing business with the Bank of British Co- lumbia. The explanation given by bank- ers is that the Canadian Bank of Com- merce, which is a very large institution, with headquarters at Toronto, Canada, has several branches and it has beea thought better to have them all under one name instead of having an unnecessary diversity in different !ycalities when there | is only really one institution. The move | has been contemplated for some time, but nothing has been said about it becauso there will really be no change in the busl- ness. The present Bank of British Colum- bia will go out of existence under that | title, but the local branch of the Canadian Bank of Commerce wili be in charge of the officers now conducting the business here. Notices of the contemplated change | were sent out to depositors vesterday and they were informed cf the true signifi- cance. They were asked to continue to do business with the institution under the new name. J. H. Plumber of the Canadian Bank of Commerce has been assistin Walter Powell, manager of the Bank o British Columbia, to make ready for the new conditions. The Canadian Bank of Commerce was Instituted under a royal charter in 182 and has grown to be power- ful. Mr. Powell confirms the news of the change soon to take place. —_—————— SACRED HEART CHURCH .

Many things may cause deafness, and very often it is difficult to trace a cause. Some people inherit deafness. Acute Als- eases llke scarlet fever sometimes cause deafness. But by far the most common cause of loss of hearing is catarrh of the head and throat. A prominent specialist on ear troubles gives as his opinfon that nine out of ten J cases of deafness are traced to throat trouble; this is probably overstated, but it is certainly true that more than half of all cases of poor hearing were caused by catarrh. ‘The catarrhal secretion in the nose and throat finds its way into the eustachian | tube and by clogging it up very soon af- = fects the hearing and the hardening of the secretion makes the loss of hearing per=. manent, unless the catarrh which cause: the trouble {s cured. Those who are hard of hearing ma: think this a little far fetched, but any on at all observant must have noticed ho a hard cold in the head will affect th: hearing and that catarrh if long neglected will certainly impair the sense of hearing and ultimately cause deafness. It the nose and throat are kept clear and free from the unhealthy secretions of catarrh, the hearing will at once great- ly improve and any one suffering from deafness and catarrh can satisfy them- selves on this point by using a S0-cent box of Stuart’s Catarrh Tablets, a new catarrh cure, which in the past year has won the approval of thousands of catarrh sufferers, as well as physicians, becauss it s In convenient form to use, contains no cocaine or oplate and is as safe and pleasant for children as for their elders. Stuart’s Catarrh Tablets is a wholesome combination of Blood Root, Guaiacol, En- caluptol and similar antiseptics and they cure catarrh and catarrhal deafness by action upon the blood and mucous mem- brane of the nose and throat. As one physician aptly expresses {t: “You do not have to draw upon the imagination to discover whether you are getting benefit from Stuart's Catarrh Tablets; improvement and relief are ap- parent from the first tablet taken.” All druggists sell and recommend them. They cost but 50 cents for full sized pae age and any catarrh sufferer who has wasted time and money on sprays, salves and powders will appreciate to the full the merit of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, e N DR.
