There is little doubt, It . seems, that
there will be a senatorial primary this
year to settle the 'question as to who
shall be the Democratic nominee for
U, 8. Senator; The people have had a
taste of the primary system, which puts
them so close to the choosing of a sena
tor, and they will hardly desire to re
turn to the old method of election by
the . legislature. The primary plan
arouses interest, to a vast degree. It
brings out the voir.. Every candidate
- spurs on the voters to loin out- It Is
therefore, declared to be ' the the best
possible plan for the Democratic, party,
. by people of very sound Judgment.
, v j The Democrats will of course work
: : very hard this year not only to get their
voters registered and poll-lax-paid, but
also to get them on the permanent rolls,
under tbe new constitutional amend
. raent. - It is to be a , very heavy year.
There Is hard work ahead and plenty
of It. - '

FREE CUBA MAT 20TB.
President-Elect Says Dnlted States Dealt
Fairly and Generously With Its
People.
Washington, March 20. President
elect .Thomas Estrada Palma, of Cuba,
having finished "his conferences with
President Roosevelt on matters connect
ed with the transfer of the Island to
Cuban control, le't for his New York
home, , where he will remain 1 until the
last Of April, when he will leave for
Cuba. General Palma, before leaving,
said he was assured the future of Cuban
will be a grand one. '
"I will cuter upon my duties as Presi
dent of Cuba," said General Palma,
'confident lu tbe belief that there Is a
plendld future In store for the island.
The people are naturally of an orderly,
peaceable disposition, mild mannered
and submissive to law and t order,
What they need is the opportunity to
work, and with this assured prosperity
will come to tbe people. Tbe people
are dignified snd will respect law and
order.
Tho certinonles incident to my In
auguration will be in keeping with the
reforms of i he occasion. One of these
will be the lowering of the American
colors in Ha-vaua and tbe raising of tbe
Cuban Sag. . Closely following the in
auguration will be the appointment of a
representative to 'Washington. Then
steps will be taken for the drafting of a
treaty between tbe two Governments,
embodying the futures outlined in the
Piatt amendment, which has been made
an appendix to our Constitution. This
will include provisions- for a naval sta
tion ' and the eslablibbment of coaling
tations at points to be mutually agreed
pon.
The 600 American artillerymen to be
kept In tin- coust foils are to remain
there with the consent of tbe Cuban
government, until .the Cuban govern
ment is reudy to replace them with a
force of Its own men. The Americans
then presumeably will be sent the
naval and the coaling 'stations provided
for in the treaty between the two gov
ernments. 1
General Palma in closing paid this
tribute to the United States Govern
ment: "The Government of the United States
has shown a most beautiful example of
good faith In dealing with a weak Gov
eminent, which it undertook to rescue
from its oppressors. It has demonstrat
ed Its generosity and patriotism and by
the shedding of its own blood bas help
ed Cuba to break the chain which united
it with Spain. Some countries would
have sought some pretext for selfish
gain In undertaking a work of this char
acter and taicen advantage of some tech
nicality for their, own aggrandizement,
but tho contrary spirit has been manifest
ed by the United states, and It has given
to the world an evidence .of good will
seldom found, The people of the United
States have remembered their own dec
laration of independence and have ful
filled a duty to mankind." v
President Palma has a wife and six
children: Two of tbe oldest boys wul
remain In school in the United States.

But they ore very fat That is why
they can stand the cold so well. I have

"I have been troubled with catarrh In
head, throat- and stomach for several
years, and from amounts that I hare
read In ereral newspapers bf the good
effects that many had reoeived from Pe
runa, and whoae veracity could not be
doubted, caoeed me to give it a trial, and
I bleas the day that I did mike a trial.
It has made a new man of me. .
"I was all my life np to about firs
years ago a very healthy man, and about
that time I was troubled with catarrh.
I tried a number of prescriptions from
different doctors but none seemed to re
lieve me until I commenced the use of
Peruna, and from Its use I can truly say
that I have been greatly benefited.
"I mm bow in my eighty-seventh
year and can walk and get about m
well aa many much younger than my
telf and attribute It greatly to tbe use
of Peruna. I keep some on hand all tbe
time, and consider It the cheapest medi
cine In the world." Mr. A. Howell.
J. R. Prince, East Leon, N. y, writes :
"Peruna has saved my life, and made
a strong, healthy, jolly old man of me.
Peruna ts Just what every family should
not be without. I have taken very few
colds since I bave
used Peruna, b u 1 1
when I do catch
cold, Peruna is my
medicine.
"A minister came
to me last summer
and said that he
had seen my testi
monial in the paper, j
and began taking
Peruna. He said,
that it straightened
him right up (he
J. B. Prlnoe.
was troubled with kidney trouble) and
Peruna cured him. I cannot express
my thanks for the benefit your medicine
has been to me." J. R. Prince.
Abraham Ziegler, Piedmont, Wayne
County, Mo., writes :
" My wife who is now 'eighty-seven
years old, suffered for about sixteen
years from severe catarrh of the head,
which affected her sight and hearing.
I saw Pe-ru-na advertised in your al
manac, and testimonials similar to her
case attracted my attention. I got one
bottle and it helped her so much that
she is now using the second bottle and
she thinks it 1b something wonderful.
Her hearing and sight are both in part
restored." Abraham Ziegler.
In old age the mucous membranes be
come thickened and partly lose their
function. This leads to partial loss of
hearing, smell and taste, as well as di
gestive disturbances. Pe-ru-na corrects
all this by its specific- operation on all
the mucous membranes of the body.
One bottle will convince anyone. Once
used and Pe-ru-na becomes a life-long
stand-by with old and young.
If yon do not derive prompt and satis
factory results from the use of Peruna,
write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a
full statement of your case and he will
be pleased to give you his valuable
advice gratis.
