The Review.

THE

transport Sheridan which

reached Manila yesterday brought 1,200 more civilizers with a goodly supply of Krag-Jorgensen tracts.—Journal.

This is the way we like to hear a man talk.' If he believes in a thing let him speak right "out in meetin' let him tell the truth at all hazards. A few weeks ago the Journal informed the world how easy it was to tell the truth how good it was to tell it, and not tlirt witli those things which might lie called into question. We see from the above extract that it is acting on its former commendable advice, and telling the truth. The facts in the case ate set forth in a very. terse way by the Journal. The whole policy 6f the administration is conquest. The cloven hoof cannot be hidden in the "expansion" sandal. As a eivilizer this nation is proceeding in the old way of Alexander, Cyrus, Hannibal, and .the rest of the line of conquerors. It has taken Great Britain in as a side partner, under the guise of AngloSaxon blood running in the same veins, and a lot of such rot, which catches the uninformed and unthinking crowd. England civilized the Sepoys by blowing them from the mouths of the cannon. We drop into -.J line and propose to civilize the Philip:i pinos with '•Krag-Jorgensen tracts."

We get after the brown man and his rbow and arrow with a repeating rifle. We want his property. We oought •"him as a slave from Spain, his former master, and now we'll kill him if he dares to think of liberty. He's ours we bought him, and we'll subdue all the ideas of liberty and self government he may have or bury him on the soil of his native land. Load the can. non, and wad it with the Gospel of the Nazarene, taking care to have scrapnell shell behind it. Make bullets of the Sermon on the Mount,whet the sword on the stone tables of Sinai,

and let out the blood of this people struggling for the very thing of which we boast—Liberty. The Journal no doubt is of the opinion of Ichabod Crane, that every blow struck will cause the poor devil who receives it to live to thank us for it. This is the stereotyped argument of all couquerors. But such actions have been the downfall of every Republic in the history of the world, and the administration of Mr. McKinley will be the date of our first totter toward a fall. We thank the Journal for the expression of a truth, which we have no doubt came from the heart.

THE NEXT COUNTY TICKET.

A communication in yesterday's issue in speaking of the next county ticket says that it is early y~t to discuss the question. It. is true that it

is early, but not too early. It is in the interest of the Democratic party to quietly look over the field some months ahead and select the most promising candidate before any personal element can come into the canvass. The avowed candidate who always hangs on the tree like an overripe plum ready to be shaken off at the least breeze of popular approbation, is not always the most available candidate. The ticket should be made up of clean, strong men, who are selected, not because they desire the office, but because they are capable of filling office with honor to themselves and credit to the party.

He will answer, "Cod-liver I oil." Nine out of ten will answer the same way.

Yet when persons have consumption they loathe all fatty foods, yet fat is necessary for their recovery and they cannot take plain codliver oil. The plain oil disturbs the stomach and takes away the appetite. The disagreeable fishy odor and taste make it almost unendurable. What is to be done?

of Cod-Liver Oil with Hypophosphites. Although that was nearly twenty-five years ago, yet it stands alone today the one great remedy for all affections of the throat and lungs.

The bad taste and odor have been taken away, the oil itself has been partly digested, and the most sensitive stomach objects to it rarely.

The personal element plays a very important part in all local electionsThe life of each candidate is laid open for inspection, and it is very important that no element of weakness should be allowed on the ticket. The Democratic party has an abundance of the very best material from which to select in this county—men whose public and private records are irreproachable. Let such men be nominated without exception, and the success of the party in the next election is assured. It is not, enough that a man is a good party man, he should be all that manhood and goodj'eitizenship require beside. One weak candidate is a drag on the remainaer of the ticket. Let men be selected who can individually and collectively constitute a ticket to which no objection can be made. This is in accordance with good Democracy and good citizenship. 1

THE

work of the German vivisectiou-

ists and inoculation fiends has reached its climax and the whole business receives a terrific indictment at the hands of a London physician in the Abolitionist. Dogs, cats and rabbits have become to be small for these fiends of science. They have gone to the Konigsberg Hospital of midwifery and used forty new-born infants upon which to experiment, giving to these new-born babes a dose of Kocks lubercuiia fifty times greater than that prescribed for an adult. The experiments were "designed to ascertain the effects of inoculations of various virulent bacteria on women" and were conducted on a large scale. One of these German doctors relates how he inoculated an unmarried woman with virulent microbes, and the body of a new-born infant with a large number of other virulentbacteria. Dr. Janseu of Stockholm, testing the effects of smallpox virus experimented first on lives, "but found them too expensive and was allowed to operate on children in the Foundling Hospital. Dr. Epstine, of Prague, infected five children with round worms to watch the effect. Human life has become cheap indeed in the world, when governments will allow scientists to prey on the new-born to take life, and inoculate the innocent with disease germs, that the banners of science may advance. We condemn

King Herod for his slaughter of the innocents of Bethlehem, and his name is hung on high for the execration of all humanity. Yet Herod's was a merciful slaughter compared with this. He used the cold and naked blade of the sword, and the end came swiftly. In this case it is death by tc ture, through years perhaps. Has the world really progressed?

19, 189S.—DEAR FOLKS AT HOME.- AS

this is Sunday and a fine morning, I will write you a letter, as the talk is now, and also in the morning papers that we are going on the lire line in the morning. Well, I am ready to go and do my country the best I can and that is all I can do. Bert Mitchell and myself had a pass yesterday and were all over as much of the city as we could reach in the morning, as our pass was only good for four hours, I We were up to see the great Wall City. Say. it is pretty, and there is where they keep the insurgents that are taken prisoners. They have about 1,000 in there, and they have another place to keep them anil there are about

in the other place. They

bring in all the way from one hundred up each day. I was reading the paper this morning and it says that a Spaniard got away from there, arul he said they have about

9,000

guns and

plenty of powder, and hardly any lead. You see they reload their shells, and they are starving. This is good news for the U. S.

?WelL

boys on the

lines. Say, when the Fourth gets out there is something going to drop. Everybody in our company wants to go on the fire line, but one, and he is a big "baby." He is

years old.

Arthur Staton and myself are going out boating this morning. We are going out to see the Grant—the boat we came on. They are going to sail on the 25th for Japan and put it in dry dock aud clean it up and paint it. There are also some holes in the bottom of it. Then they are coming back here and make a transport out of her. It is the largest boat that was ever in the bay of Manila, of its kind. Well, you can see what kind it is. It had 2,000 people on it and could hold a good many more. Well, Dear Folks I am well pleased with my new home. They have street cars here and also have water works, but the water is luke wartai all the time. I would give SI .00 for a good cup of water from Vanslvkc's well. The town is also well lighted up with electric lights. So you see we are not quite behind the times. There is also a Spanish theater here. O, this place is all right. Father, tell Mr. Clemson I found Ed Clemson, but did not get to see him, but am going to see him Tuesday if we don't go on the fire line. He is in the hospital, and he is not very sick. I also found out about George Watkins' wife's brother. He is all right, but I did not get to see him, as he and his company are on the fire line. Maybe I will get to see him before my three years are up. There is a river at the back of our barracks, and we see an insurgent nearly every day floating down dead. I wish they all would come down the river some day dead, and this is what they will if they don't quit monkeying with Uncle Sam, and this is no lie.

I must stop for this time,hop

ing some of you will write every week. Also send me papers, will you From your loving and true absent son and brother,

Gas Case.

The reversal in the Appellate court of the gas case in which Pat Slattery was concerned is of interest to all consumers of gas. The ruling of the court is given: "A company engaged in furnishing natural gas to consumers, which negligently increases the pressure of gas in a consumer's pipe so Ijeyond the accustomed pressure that it overheats his stove, and, without his fault, sets fire to his property and destroys it, is liable for damages to such consumer, or to an insurance company, which may be subrogated to the right of the consumer because of its payment of his loss under a policy of insurance. (2) It was error to admit evidence offered to establish the negligence of the gas company which related to the overheating at the same time of other stoves, which were not shown to have been fitted with like mixers, or with like pipes and connections, or to have had their valves open to the same extent as the stove which caused plaintiff's loss.
