The coo sens as of public' opinion even
g the Republicans appears to be
when Mark Iianna opened hla
>uth U. Chicago he put his foot In It
aod worse than this, a great
it people aaaert that the handling
? em* much boodle hath made Mark mad,
ear la plain everyday American he la
"dotty.** Governor Mount of Indiana
asapped do to him with both feet and
l la'aed about him In ss vicious a man
v*r as any anarchist could do. While
1 am neither the legal, political nor spir?
itual adviser of Mark, I advise him to
consider the wisdom of the old saying.
*Xet the shoemaker st'^k to his laal,"
which bei04; Interpreted In this In*
stance mean- that Mark should atlok
to hie barrel. Before he delivered hla
great historical oration at Chicago he
she old have remerrbered the Rev. Mr.
Borcusrd and been warned by hla ex?
ample. When the votes are In and It la
ascertained that Bryan la elected,
?lark will be the most thoroughly exe?
crated man In America. Now he la
king, emperor, cxar. tycoon, sultan and
everything else thst Is high and
mighty; then there will be none ao poor
as to do him reverence.
The Cat Oat of the Bag
Senator Beverldge let the est out of
the beg In his Chicago speech. That
effort Is Imperialism pure and simple.
The young senator from the Wabssh
contends that only one mistake hss
keen made by ua In all this Spanish
Cuban-Philippine business, and that
was the resolution solemnly psssed by
congress aod solemnly signed by the,
president proclaiming to the world thai
'the Cubans are and of right ought to
bo free and Independent" and declar?
ing that we were not Interfering In the
Bpa 11 tali Cuban Imbroglio for purpoaes
eat land grabbing or territorial aggran?
disement He assev*. rates that we
might to hold Cuba forever, nolens vo
lens 1 wonder if be thinks that con?
gress passed that resolution ami tho
president slgued It just for amuse?
ment? Of waa it done to accomplish
aome great purpose? The latter Is the
troth. It waa passed for two reasons,
tooth good and sutflciont? first, to satis?
fy our own consciences; second, to set
^^urselvce right In tho eyes of other na?
tions, to secure their good opinion, to
allay their fesrs, to remove the suspi?
cion that we were starting on a career
of universal conquest And that sol?
emn resolution accomplished all those
ends. We never did a wiser thing, and
**t> resolution of congress ever wrought
more good to thle gnat republic. Now,
If Senator Beverldge and men of his Ilk
had their way we would repudiate that
Resolution, act with Punic faith toward
the world In general, the Cubans in
particular, and write ourselves down In
history aa a set of con seien col ess liars.
Senator Beverldge appear* to be Inca?
pable of recognlxlug the fact that any?
body baa any couacience. He advocat?
ed In hla apeecb In the aenate a line of
policy to the Philippines w hich la prop?
erly denominated ns wholesale grand
larceny. When the Republican cam?
paign committee burned 2U0.U00 copies
?1 that speech because it was afraid to
send them out. he ought to have learn?
ed that there ure still pooplc In tills
country who possess and cherish a
senae of tight. That was a Revere Jolt

Among the young Democrats In the
bouse of icprescntatlves there is no

There have l*cn appointed i h brigadier generali
ot the ataff since the coming in of the present ad<

w;h -,-romoted to the position of brigadier general,
and on Feh. 25. 1?W, he was retired. On the 14tli
of November, 1SU7, General W. II. Bell was made

After More Salary.
1 prefaced my remarks by saying that I was not
criticising the officers themselves, but for a gen
oration almost this country was in profound
peace, and they received the benefits snd emolu?
ments ot the positions they were then filling. If
they saw Ot to cast their lot with the army, they
ought to bo willing to take upon themselves the
Incidents and b?rden.? cf the srmy without asking
at the hands of congress or of the people ot this
country a position on tie retired list with a high?
er grade simply and solely for the purpose of en?
abling them to draw 11.500 more salary per year
out ot the treasury cf the United States,
I desire to call tine attention of the committee
to the appoint meet of brigadier generals of the
line. The first r.?e 1 see is that of General W.
R. Shatter, who was made a brigadier general on
Mty 3. 1897, and I will say I believt served longer
la the capacity of brigadier before he was retired
than any of these gentlemen who were or have
been promoted since the present administration
came in. General Shaffer was retired Oct. 6, 1809.
1 find that General YV. M. Grabain was made m
brigadier general of the lino May 2<. 1897. and he
was retired Sept. 28, 1898.
I find General James F. Wart* was made a briga?
dier rencral May 20, 1897, and he ia now in the
sarvb-e.
General John M. Mixner was made a brigadier
general on May 26, 1897. and retired June 7, the
same year.
General Anaon Mills was made a brigadier gen?
era! June 18. 1897. and ho was retired on the 22d
of June, 1S97.
I find that General C. II. Carltoi was made a
brigadier general of the line Jane 28, 1897; that
he served his country in tbe capacity of briga?
dier general from June 28, 1897, to the 30th of
June of tbe same year.
General H. S. Hawkins on tbe 28th of Septem?
her, 1898, was made a brigadier general and was
retired on the 4th day of October of tbe same year.
General Jacob P. Kent was made a brigadier
general on the same day that General Hawkins
was retired, which was Oct. 4. 1898. snd he. too,
was retired on the 15th day of October. 1808.
Result Of Oree Vacancy.
' 1 want to say this: It appears that one vacancy
was used in such a way tint five or six men re?
ceived promotion by reason of the fact that one
vacancy had alone been created, and when one
general was promoted to the high position of brig?
adier general he only acted in that capacity fot
a short time until he stepped down and out and
another was appointed to take his place.
General W. S. Worth wss made a brigadier gen?
eral Oct. 29, 189S, and on the 0th day of Novem?
ber of the same year was retired. General W. M.
YYherrjr was made a brigadier general Jan. 7, 1899,
and on Jan. 13, 1S09, he was placed upon the re?
tired list. General J. II. Patterson was made a
brigadier general on the 18th of January. 1899,
apd served in that capacity only till the 0th day
of February of the same year, when be, too, was
placed upon the retired list.
General William Sinclair was n sde a brigadier
general 8, 1809, served his ountry in that
rank for a period of five days, or until Feb. 13,
1699, when he was placed upon the retired list.
General M. P. Miller was made a brigadier general
Mir.ii 15. I-v.i. and served a9 such only until
March 27 of the same year, when he was placed
on the retired list. General. K. V. Sumner was
made a brigadier general of the line March 27,
18W?. served in that capacity onjy till March 30
of the sane year, when he was placed u|>on the
retired list. General T. M. Anderson was made a
brigadier general March 31. 1S99; was placed on
the retired list Jan. 21, 1900.
General For One Day.
General A. C M. Pe-nnington was made a briga?
dier general Oct. 10, lS'JO, and on the next day,
Oct. 17, 1899, was placed upon the retired list.
General Royal T. Frank was made a brigadier
general Oct. 17, 1809. being the same day General
Pennington was retired, and on the following
day. Oct. 18. 1S99, was placed upon the retired
list. General L. II. Carpenter was made a briga?
dier general of the line Oct. 18, 1899, being also
the same dsy General Frank wss retired, and was
placed on the retired list Oct. 19, 1890. General
S. Ovenshine was made a brigadier general Oct.
19. 1899, and retired Oct. 20 of the same year.
He served in the capacity of brigadier general for
S period of one day. General I). W. Burke was
made s brigadier general Oct. 20, 1899, and placed
upon tbe retired list Oct. 21 of the same year.
He, teo, served in the capacity ot brigadier gen?
eral for a period of one day only.
So 1 might go down through this long list and
mention General K. R. Kellogg and General G. S.
Carpenter, who have been promoted to the rank
of brigadier general and soon retired after a very
brief service in the rank to which tbey bad been
promoted.
As members have observed, a great many of
these office*- have been retired, some on the next
day aI< r their promotion, some after having served
three, four or five drys and some after having
IsrsSw only a month. 1 call attention to this mat?
ter for the purpose of showing that whilo our
friends on the other side arc proclaiming their pa?
triotism they are at the same time getting for
the-ir friends all the high positions in sight.
Coxues Ont For Bryan.
The pOWff of torso nnd condensed
statement Is one of the most valuable
possessed by either speaker or writer.
The Thlindelphla Times, Colonel Alex?
ander McClure'a paper. Is one of the
most famous newspapers in the land.
It claims to be Independent In politics.
In 181K) It supported McKinley with
grent enthusiasm and consummate
ability. It has recently come out for
ltryan and gives Its reasons for the
faith K has Pi the following vigorous
fashion It 's well worth reading and
committing to memory. The writer In
a few words states the whole question.
There is more meat In this short edito?
rial than In many speeches of two
hours' length. Considering the locality
where The Times Is published, It Is a
most remarkable utterance and clearly
demonstrates In which direction the
wind Is setting. The Times says:
Four yesrs sgo, In the sudden crisis that di?
vided the councils of the Hemocratic party, it
seemed better to The Times to Hint a in Mr. Me
Kinley's election as president rather than that, of
Mr. Bryan. The deeision -vj* made in peed1 faith.
The result has shown it to be wrong. It is re
prated and recanted.

Iloodivlnklit'c the People.
One of tha most u.i-Amcriean, un
Qetnocratlc and an*Republk*ati results
of the Philippine war is the rigid press
censorship which has been established
at Manila from almost the very begin?
ning to conceal from the American peo?
ple what w'ns really happening in that
far away and sin cursed land. In those
letters 1 have frequently called atten?
tion to the fact that the Washington
Post is an independent paper edited
with extrr ordinary ability, but while It
is Independent it has a decided bias for
President McKinley personally and for
his administration, but even The Tost
Is disgusted with the bold and constant
misrepresentation of what is going on
over there. In a recent Issue it con?
tained the following caustic editorial
on the subject:
la there any reason, either in morals or In po?
litical expediency, why the administration should
try to deceive snd mulead the American people
touching the condition of afinirs in the Philip?
pines? The effort has been neatly and persistent.
W* hsve been assured, at stated intervals for the
psat 12 or 15 inontha, thai hostilities were st an
end; that nothing was left of the so called insur?
rection but a few scattered, insignificant bands of
marauding fugitives; that an overwhelming ma?
jority of the Filipinos loved us snd asked only to
be protected from the wicked designs of the out
laws. We have had touching narratives of the
affection subsisting between our authorities and
the grateful Filipinos?pictures of the sweet peace
and mutual devotion prevailing on every 1 und.
We have been aaked to believe that the whole
country has been pacified and that the Filipino?
SS a class ssk nothing more than permission to
dwell in contentment snd prosperity beneath our
psrentsl wing forever. Hut why sli this t:ans?
paren t, this tiresome snd futile humbug? It
serves no purpose, cither honest or unworthy. 2c
fools nobody with intelligence enough to know
his own name, snd it wearies snd disgust* all
thoughtful men.
t Helens Lies.
Leaving aside every considerstion of morslitj
and good faith and. regarding the question from
the very lowest snd most sordid point of view,
what profit, however mean, docs the Republican
party expect to reap? These repeated assertions
that the Filipinos hnvc been pacified arc notorious?
ly false. No one believes them. They are un
snswerably contradicted, by the official announce?
ments from day to day. They promote no useful
or creditable end. Here and there one finds a
Mugwump devotee, like the New York Times,
which, with General Mac Arthur's report of war
snd csrnsge before ita eyes, sccepts the Philippine
commission's optimistic bleatings as so much gos?
pel truth; but, taking men of information, of
wholesome minds and independent thought, how
many do we find who believe these childish ro?
mances as against the official assertions of the
army authorities, who are in the midst of thing*
and know whereof they speak? On the very day,
las; week, when the war department gave out the
report of the Taft commission assuring us that
peace and sweetest concord prevailed throughout
the J'hilippines there came to us an authentic offi?
cial statement from the military branch of the
service to the effect that violence, hostility, even
organized warfare, raged throughout the vicinity
of Manila. In one action alone?in which, by Uta
way, our forces were driven back?more then 100
men were killed and wounded or captured by the
Filipinos. Next day we were told by General
UacArthur that the trouble was even worse and
more widespread than the press dispatches of the
previous day hud indicated. Now, by way of con?
firming previous declarations, the Manila reports
announce a new and even more disastrous inci?
dent. Again the "rebels" have appeared upon
the scene?no doubt after an affecting und fra?
ternal colloquy with the commission?and the re?
sult is that 50 or more of our soldiers have been
eradicated.
What wc want (a ask is: Dees it pay to try to
hoodwink the American people? Apparently ilit*
administration nurses tha failiuy that assurances'
of peace in ths Philippines will make votes for
next November. We hold, cn the contrary, tha*
it would be infinitely bette* to tell the truth, a i
mit that we are in dire peril and put it to Iba pa?
triotic fueling of Iba American people to stand
by us in the hour of tiiai and misfortune. Such a
course would appeal to cvei? manly' nature? in tin
land. The course the govern merit is now pursuing
tends to disgust and alienate eelf rcspeciing men.

I killed a wasp ami left the carcass

fellow, walked all around the wasp's

and brought up a small army of bis

voured the soft portions of the body
which would not keen, while others be?
gan to dissect ready for storing the
harder portions which would keep for

gusty, and my attention was attracted
in particular to one little chap who was
trying to get to his ant htU with a wing
he had severed from the body. He
would struggle along two or three Inch?

blow him nnd the wing back f art her

with this till be found It hopeless, then
carefully laying the wing down and
piling the largest craius of sand he
could lift on it, so that the wind would

of the wasp and got three ants nnd
brought them back to where the w ing

CATCHING SMELTS.
flow the 'Little I'M all Are Hooked
Through the Ice.
The smelts are all caught with hook
and line, says the Baogor Commercial.
Taking them otherwise, such as by
seine, would be regarded by the fisher?
men here as a great wrong. The fish
Ing is all done in tents, the tents being
gbotlt six feet long, live feet wide and
high enough for u man to stand up 111
them.
These teuts are covered with cloth,
heated by a stove and lighted usually
by a lantern. I have known the tem?
perature of my lent to vary, however.
GO degrees within ten miuutes during a
cold day.
A hole about six feet long and eight
inches wide Is cut in the Ice and the
tent set lengthwise of this. Six lines
attached to a pole fastened to the
plates of the tent hang into the water
nearly eight inches apart. These lines
during fishing hours are always kept in
motion.
The way the fishermen handle these
lines, how they can bait the hooks and
slat smelts, when, as they say, they
are "taking holt." Is certainly wonder?
ful. I bave known one man to catch
100 pounds in less than one hour. This
means at least 1,000 fish, or about 17 a
minute. One smelter has been known
to catch 500 pounds during one tide's
fishing.
Some have made $25 to $30 a day and
others $200 in a few weeks. But these
big catches are only made by those ex?
pert in fishing. The chances are that
a green hand would starve the first
winter if dependent wholly on what
fish he caught

Wc have the highest regard for the
medical profession. Our preparations
arc not sold for the purpose of antagon?
izing them, but rather as an aid. We
lay it down as an established truth th .it
internal remedies are positively injuri?
ous to expectant mothers. The distress
and discomforts experienced during the
months preceding childbirth can be al?
leviated only by external treatment?by
applying a linimee that softens and re?
laxes the over-strained muscles. We
make and sell such a liniment, com?
bining the ingredients in a manner
hitherto unknown, and call it
Mother s Friend
We know that in thousands of cases
it has proved more than a blessing to
expectant mothers. It overcomes morn?
ing sickness. It relieves the sense of
tightness. Headaches cease, and dan?
ger from Swollen, Hard and Rising
Breasts is avoided. Labor itself is
shortened and shorn of most of the pain.
We know that many doctors recom?
mend it, and we know that multitudes
of women go to the drug stores and buy
it because they are sure their physicians
have no objections. We ask a trial
just a fair test. There is no possible
chance of injury being the result, be?
cause Mother's Friend is scientific?
ally compounded. It is sold at $i a bot?
tle, and should be used during most of
the period of gestation, although great
relief is experienced if used only a short
time before childbirth. Send for our il?
lustrated book about Mother s Friend.
