Mr M'Kinley on the Future of America

In his Inaugural Address, delivered to the people from the Capitol, thi President began by referring jto th* prosperity of the country, He urged sound business methods and strict economy m the national adnainistrfttioii and legislation, and then went onto ■peak of hia fruitless efforts to avert the war with Spain. •We are now,' proceeded the President, *at peace ; with '"the world, and my fervent prayer is that if differences arise between the ; United States and other Powers they may be settled by peaceful arbitration, and that we may be hereafter spared the horrors of war. ♦There are some national question! the solution of which patriotism should cv elude from partisanship. Diitrnit of the capacity, integrity, and high purpose of the American people will not be an inspiriting theme for future political contests. Dark pictures of gloomy foreboding are worse itbjm use less. There are obstructionists who despair and who would destroy the confidence m the ability of our people to solve wisely and for civilisation the mighty problems resting upon .them. The American people, entrenched m freedom at home, take their love forjt with them wherever they go, and they reject as mistaken and unworthy the' doctrine that we lose our own liberties by securing the enduring foundation of liberty to others The United States ii facing the most important question of the futufp, re lations of the United States and Oubt. With Ouba the United States must re main close friends. The declaration of the purposes of the United States and the resolution of April 28th must be made good. We became sponsors for the pacification of the island, and re main accountable to the Ouban'i no less than to our own country and people for the reconstruction of Cuban a free Commonwealth, on the abiding founda tions of right, justice, liberty, and assured order. The enfranchisement of the people will not be completed until free Cuba shall be a reality, not a name, a perfect entity, not a hasty experiment bearing within itself the elements of failure. With regard to the Philippines, Mr McKinley said he would continue the efforts already began until order wai restored, and so far as conditions would permit, would establish local govern ments, and encourage the people to ad minister them.

Easily Proven.

There is not the Smghtfst Necessity js-oa Leaving Ashburton to Look for Proof. The experience given below by this wel known citizen of Ashbmtrm li easily proven. The proof she offers for her con* victions can safely be left with the reader. It is a difficult matter to dcscilbe an ach ing back or any of the Ills caused by disordered kidneys. How to care the trouble is of ranch more importance and the most exacting resideab of Asihburton cannot ask for any better aubhorSiy on thia point than that given by Mrs Lock hard, of Cox Street., this town, who *aye: "There"is no doubt but that Doan's Backache Kidney Pilla are splendid. For a number of years I have been m need of tuch a medicine for pains m the unall of my back and giddiness and headaches. The pains were bo bad that I could scarcely turn m my bed and every movement made me cry out. It was when I laid down I felt worae. The doctors said it was caused by indigestion and I took pnrgativejnedl' cines but with no good results. When I saw Doan's Backache Kidney Pills adver tised I noticed tfaafc they were said do car© such cases as mlae, so I got a box at th« i Ashburton Drug Company's shop. AfMr ! using them a while I found them ap« for my troubles. They acted mildly and as a tonic making me feel energetic besides, giving me freedom from pain. People use purgatives which weaken and impoverish the blood : they Bhould, get Doan's Backache Kidney Pilli which strengthen the system while they cure. Do not be satisfied with any imitation of Doan's Pills. Remember ib was Doan's Backache KMney Pills which helped Mm Lockhard and if you suffer the same as she did you want the same remedy* Doan's Backache Kidney Pills are sold Iby all chemists and storekeepers at Si per box (six boxes 16a U) or will u« posted oa receipt of price by the proprir tors, Foster McOleilan Go,, 76 Pitt) Street Sydney, New South Wales.
