Republican Rottenness Ex?
posed.
Washington. April 23 ?Another
ugly scandal has cropped up under
the rule of the war department,
which cannot fail to add to the wave
of publio sentiment, daily becoming
higher end stronger, that will sweep
the republican party, with its record
of soaodals, ont of power This
particular scandal was uncovered
quite by accident aod its existence
was not denied by Secretary Root,
who is responsible for its continu
ance, although it was originated by
Alger It is to speak plainly, the
robbery of the Cubans for the benefit
of officers of the United States army
Hints of extravagant living by Amer?
ican officers in Cuba, end of Urge
sums paid for their expenses, have
been frequent, but it was not until
within the lest 48 boors that it be?
come positively known that officers
in tbe United Stetes army were, in
direct violation of law, drawing two
salaries, one from tbe United States
and one from tbe Cuban revenues
Tbe ground upon wbicb Seoretary
Koot justifies this robbery is wort by
of a shyster lawyer but .not of a
member of the United States cabi?
net?that tbe money drawn from tbe
Cuban revenues by these officers is
not a salary from tbe United States,
and consequently their receiving it
ie not a violation of the law prohib?
iting two salaries. Mr Root goes
even further than that. He says this
robbery was carefully considered and
endorsed by Mr McKinley and bis
entire cabinet before it was started,
and that be intends to increase the
number of officers who are allowed
to participate therein. But he won't
unless prominent republican senators
who bave expressed surprise and
regret at tbe scandal obange their
minds. Tbe senate has adopted a
renolotlon calling for all tbe facts.
Experience doesn't always teaoh
Notwithstanding tbe awful experi
en 3e of oor soldiers in the war with
Spain, thousands of whom were]
roi.de sick and unfit for duty by eat
injj tbe so called canned roast beef,
tbo war department has ordered a
big? lot of tbe stuff sent to the Philip
pines tor the use of our soldiers over
there Gen Miles is as much " p
poued to this meat as be was during
the war with Spain, and the war do
paitment acted without consulting
bin.
Representative Livingston, one of
the most level hesded democrats io
the house, ssye tbe republican lead
era bavo determined to jam tbe ship
subsidy job through at this session
of congress Speaking of this deai,
Mr Livingston said : "I know that a
conference of republican leaders was
held at which it was determined to
puth the ship bounty scheme at all
hazards I also know that the next!
day, Pacific Mail, which may fairly
be considered the barometer of the
scheme, shot up neurly four points
on the New Yorh, stock exchange.
The msn who can't plainly discern a
chaiu of cause and efioct in this ia
indeed blind Obviously, somebody
who attended that conference com
monicated to the men who control
the market for Pacific Mail securities,
the news that the ship subsidy bill
would be brought forward and rush?
ed through at this session under the
party lash It would not surprise me
if s special rule for its consideration
and passage should be prescribed by
the speaker's committee Such a
rule, it may be confidently expected,
will limit debate almost to the van- j
ishing point Indeed, it may be that
all debate will bo cut < ft' on the bill
in tbe bouse I believe they are
waiting for a time when an unusual
number of democrats are absent from
the house to force the bill forward
for >i needed consideration. The re
publicans are bound to get this bill
through I sm informed that a large
part of their campaign fund depends
upon its passage Therefore, it be?
hooves us democrats to keep our
eyes peeled for the ship subsidy
scheme Every mother'a son of us
ought to stay right here in Washing?
ton until the session closes and keep
a sharp lookout for the Lianna Payne
bill "
It was an Ohio man ?John Sher
man ?who originated the phraie
which has lluoe become so wide by
used : "I'm going home to look
after my fences " Mr McKinley,
who ia in Ohio this week, said he
fore leaving Washington that he was
going to "look after repairs to my
boose," which is a eiight deviation
from Sherman's words, but means the
same thing to the initiated It was
not a mere coincidence that the re
pati-8 upon Mr McKinley'a house, at
Canton, should requite his personal
atteution during tbe same week io 1
I which the republican State conven?
tion will be held at Columbus
Senator Wellington haa formally
left the Hanoa*McKinley party, and
made this announcement: "1 was
opposed to the permanent acquisition
of the Philippines, and to the 15 per
cent duty on Puerto Ricau imports to
the United States This being my
position, I do not intend to support a
platform that is against my convic
tions in such important particulars.
I do not intend to remain a member
of the republican national committee,
nor to attend the national conven?
tion *' There are numerous promi?
nent republicans in both branches of
Congress who believe just as Senator
Wellington does, but whether ony of
them will show that they have tho
courage of their convictions by fol
lowing niB example, remains to be
seen
Floods at Pisgah.
Pisgab, April 23.?Tr Texas flood has
reached here The heaviest fall of water at
ooe time since May, 1886, fell here this morn?
ing. The 6t<lds and roads are washed into
gullies and tbe small grain in flits and hot*
toms is under water. I have no: beard from
all tbe mills, but some bare broie. Wells
have caved in and chimnies v,ashed down.
The loss to toe planting interest is hard to
tell. Prominent planters say tbat heavy falls
of water jost after tbe cotton is planted
leacbes the land so tbat it cannot recover
tbat year to make a full crop. This, theo,
Axes a big cotton crop for this year. Our
people are blue over tbe loss ot their pet
guano. The Wateree river is laid to be
booming.
A young man of Wellingford, Conn,
recognizing a young lady friend sp
proaobing a dark evening, cried
?'Booh" to startle ber. The girl fell
in a dead feint, followed by an attsok
of hysterics, and is threatened with
nervous prostration. Her father has
instituted suit for $5,000 damages
against the practical joker, who is
greatly distressed at the unhappy result
of his playfulooHB.

SEVEN RUNNING SORES CURED
-BY
Johnston's Sarsaparilla
QUART BOTTLES.
THE GRE/VT SPRING MEDICINE.
JOHNSTON'S SARSAPARILLA as a Blood Food and Nerve Encrgizer. is the
greatest SPRING MEDICINE ever discovered. It <^mes as a rich blessing from
heaven to the " worn out," the run down, the overworked and debilitated. That " tired
feeling," those "sinkingspells," the languor and despondency which arise from badly nour?
ished nerves, from thin, vitiated blood and an underfed body, vanish as if by a magic
spell. The weariness, lassitude and nervous prostration which accompany the spring,
time and the heat of summer, are conquered and banished at once. For every form of
neurasthenia, and all ailments of the brain and nerve, insomnia, hysteria and nervousness
generally, it I" almost a specific. It furnishes the very elements to rebuild worn-out nerve
tissues. It feeds brain, nerve centers and nerves, calming and equalizing their action; it
makes rich, red, honest blood. Nsv/ness of life, new hope, new strength follow its faith?
ful use. It makes the weak strong, and the old young again.
It was the antiquated (but now happily exploded) method in the good old times, to
treat Salt Rheum, Scrofula, Cancer and other troublesome disorders arising from
BLOOD TAINT with powerful alteratives, such as mercury, arsenic and other mineral
*c;ents. It was expected by this treatment that the poison could be killed while the blood
was left to course through its channels holding in its circulation the speciftc germs of the
disease. But in this way, every part of the body became more or less diseased. Noth?
ing can be more terrible than a horribly destructive blood taint. It not only attacks viru?
lently the different structures of the body, but many times the bones are honey-combed
and destroyed. It often seeks out the nerves and spinal cord, and again it will bring de?
cay and death to some vitai organ, as the kidneys, liver or stomach. There is only one
scientific method for the cure of blood taint. That is, PURIFICATION! Every particle
of the blood must be removed through the execretory channels, the lungs, kidneys, bowels,
liver and skin. M First pure, then peaceable." The great restorative, reconstructive and
vita?zer of the blood, JOHNSTON'S SARSAPARILLA, not only radically and ex?
haustively removes the taint, but also removes all mercury, calomel and other minerals,
and fills the veins and arteries with the ruby, glowing current of vitality. "The blood is
the life." Good health means pure blood. The old and reliable remedy, JOHNSTON'S
SARSAPARILLA, is universally regarded as the greatest Blood Purifier ever discov?
ered. This fact if. now established beyond question or cavil.
