FRIDAY. APRIL 15, 1808.

THERE are a good many cheap and noisy fellows hereabouts talking loudly of "war" and "honor." They are talking of that with which they have never had contact or experience.

WHEN Joe Cheadle appeared before the Populist convention at Frankfort Tuesday he prefaced his remarks by the greeting, "Fellow Populists". When he appears before the Democratic convention he will use the words, "Fellow Democrats". Will Joseph then appear as being all things to all men, or will he merely be regarded as calling the skunk cabbage by its scientific name, symplocarpus fuitidus?

THK succees of American manufacturers under the protective system has been so great that free trade England is now calling upon us for steel in all shapes, the latest development being the reported sale of a quantity of American steel ship plates for use of the Clyde ship builders. The Glasgow Herald, discussing England's iron and steel purchases from the United States, says: "However we may look at it, America is now permanently in the international market as a competitor for the supply of iron and steel."

Mn. MILBURN', the sensational pulpiteer of Indianapolis, haB come out in one of his characteristically slop-over sermons and commended the prison board for turning loose on an outraged State the unpunished murderer, Winnie Smith. If Mr. Milburn had been born a woman he would have been one of those sentimental females who rejoice in adorning the cell of the bloody murderer with fresh flowers. In his tearful sentimentality he completely overlooks the claims of justice, nor heedB the blood of the victim which cries from the ground. Mr. Milburn should be tapped for the simples.

PHILADELPHIA. Times (Dem.): Only the wildest of jingo agitators can criticise the message of President McKinley sent to Congress Monday, aB wanting in heroic vindication of the rights, prerogatives, and dignity of the public. Bis message is calm, forcible and truthful from beginning to end, and it opens with the most terrible arraignment against the despotism and barbarity of Spanish rule that haB ever been made against any civilized government during the century. The President has fully and manfully performed his duty to Congress, to the country, to humanity, and to the civilization of the world.

THE more President McKinley's course in this Cuban matter is considered and understood the more cordially it is approved by all fair-minded men, the only ones who now attempt to criticise it

beiDg

great injustice.

for purely partisan reasons. Now that the full details of the negotiationsand reports are known and the conditions under which he haB labored are understood and his desire to avert the horrors of war and the loss of life of American citizens if practicable and consistent with national honor and dignity are appreciated, it is felt that the criticisms and attacks which have been made upon him have done

AS TO FA KM PRODUCTS. Farmers will be interested to know that there has been a marked reduction in importation of articles of farm production, while the increased activity of the factories under the stimulus given by the new law has advanced prices of farm production by reason of the increased demand. The importation of wool in tbe past six months was only 51,780,000 pounds against 73,195,000 in the corresponding six months of the preceding year, while in the

months just prior to the enact­

ment of the new law the total importations of wool were five times as great as those of the past six months, being 280,000,000 pounds in round numbers. There was also a large reduction in the importation of sugar in the manufacture of which farmers are now so much interested, amounting to only 120,000,000 pounds in the first 6ix months of the Dingley law, against 1,553,000,000 pounds in the corresponding six months of the preceding year under the Wilson law, while in fruits, vegetables, hay, chieory and other articlesof farm production there was also a great reduction in the importation.

WHAT AVAR MEANS.

Los ANGELES Times: As the prospect of war comes nearer and nearer, day by day, the normal-minded man is sobered, for he sees the gallant lads of our navy and army falling in the red hell of combat he sees the mighty cruisers going down to destruction, with the old ilag flying he sees the tears of women and his ears are wounded with their cries of sorrow he sees the maimed lying in the hospitals battling for life: he sees the surgeons stripped for work with their bared arms reeking with the blood of our beloved boys he sees the shells tearing gaps through edifices that wealth has builded he sees the earnings of the Nation burned up in powder smoke, sunk in the sea, shattered into ruins on the land he sees death stalking along the crimson decks of our men-of-war in ten thousand awful guises he hears the moans of the dying, the hiss of bullets, the shriek of shells, the roar of artillery, and he seeB] the! flames blowing from the muzzles of great guns, streaming from sky-piercing rockets and bursting from the bowels of our ships of commerce—these are the visions the thoughtful man seeB, as the lines of battle form and the squadrons deploy, and these are-the sounds that fright his ears in imagination, for they are the concomitants of war.

Let no one look upon war as a holiday diversion, as a thing to be sought with eagerness, or to be entered into without deliberation, for aUbest it is an awful, a deplorable, a horrible thing. In its train follow the vultures of ruin, a procession of those who mourn and will not be comforted, and the scars it leaves time never obliterates. But if it come in the interest of humanity, national honor and integrity and the cause of eternal justice, let us, as men and brothers, enter into it soberly and prayerfully, and may God give to our banner the luster of victory and to our Nation the commendation of all the sons of men!

COND'TIO.N OF INDIANA'S CAI'ITOL Indiana's capitol, although not yet ten years old, is actually in a bad condition, and thousands of dollars will have to be spent for repairs before the progress of decay can be stayed. The recent flood rains showed the condition of the building in its true light. Notwithstanding it was recently entirely reroofed with copper, it leaks badly in many places. Expert masons say that the trouble arises from bad pointing. When the huge blocks of stone were laid it seems that the interstices in many places were filled in with lime mortar instead of with cement. This has shelled out, leaving good sized cracks in the building. In no place is the outer wall less than twenty-eight inches thick, but the rain soaks through and wets the brick wall on the inside, several places turning the brick white. The dome especially leaks badly. The custodian estimates that it will not be long, unless the decay and disintegration going on on account of the water soaking through is stopped, until the cost of repairing the damage will be very large. The building, he says, needs repointing all over. He will make a plea to the Governor for assistance in getting an appropriation for that purpose.

W OK KING MKN and women also will be interested to

kDow

that the doleful

predictions made by Democrats and Populists when the Dingley bill was under consideration that its addition to the tariff would reduce our sales of manufactured goods abroad and thus depress our manufacturing industries, were entirely unjustified, the exportation of manufactures in the first six months of the new law being actually more than in the corresponding six months of the preceding year under the low tariff Wilson law, while in .January there was an increase of 10 per cent, over January of the preceding year, amounting in round numbers to 823,000.000, against §20,(300,000 in the preceding January.

If President McKinley can honorably avert war he will do so. If he cannot Spain's doom is upon her. When Congress acts this country will have crossed the Rubicon and Spain must either bactc down completely or take up arms against destiny.

THE Spanish Minister of War says Spain will continue its military preparations for "placing the peninsula, the Canaries, the Balearic Islands and Porto Rico in a State of defense." Cuba is not included, and the omission is significant.

The Whitesville Churoli.

Rev. H. C. Beckett, pastor of the W7liitesville Universalist church, has moved from Greencastle to Whitesville that he with bis wife may be able to do more efficient work for the church at Whitesville. Regular preaching services third Sunday in each month. Regular quarterly communion next Sunday. Everybody invited to attend these services.

Few men in this country who have lived to "clear the eight-barred gate I which not many come in sight of, and few go over," bave enjoyed more of I the blessings of a long, active, wellspent life than Patrick A. Donaboe, the founder of the Boston Pilot

In every city, village and hamlet throughout the several States and territories of the Union, where the IrishAmerican people have settled, the name of Patrick Donahoe is spoken with respect, admiration and affection.

More than a half century ago Mr Donahoe established the Pilot In 1870 he engaged John Boyle O'Reilly, who was its brilliant editor for twenty years.

To every good cause and to every charity he has been a generous subscriber. Scarcely a Catholic church in New England that has not been a re cipient of his bounty.

Mr. Donaboe is now eighty-six The following open letter sent to Wells, Richardson & Co is, in fact, addressed to the. thousands of friends all over the land, in whose hearts and homes Patrick Donahoe has found so large a place. "I recently suffered from prostration brought, on by a protracted illness of a very trying character, and at the suggestion of friends who were believers in your remedy (Paine's celery compound) I was induced to give it a trial. 1 am happy to say that the result was most satisfactory, and I felt it6 good effect immediately Hence I am able to recommend its use in cases like mine, where the nervous system,

Is it generally known that the Mormon elders who are here seem to locate young, bright girls or women who are without protection and call on them to talk and leave tracts? Quietly and persistently they are trying to get a foothold amoner us, and we know not what the end will be.

Several from here attended the Easter services at the Baptist church in the city Sunday. The day was unusually full of good things At Sunday school, Miss Webster, a returned missionary from Utah, gave a short but interesting talk on children's work. At the morning snrvice the music was excellent. Tbe decorations were simple but effective. The sermon on the Resurrection was uplifting and comforting. At tbe young people's meeting the topic. "The Wise Use of Money" was well treated and helpful, Miss Webster and Mr. Jureridini both speaking of the great need of money for Christ's work. The evening service was conducted by Mr. A. S. Jureridini, M. of Palestine. He spoke of the country round Jerusalem, the people, custums and religion, and showed the ignorance, superstition and need of the people in the birthplace of our Saviour from whence came our light and salvation.

PATRICK DONOHOE

Other Members of the Family as Warmly Advise Use of Paine's Celery Compound

WyXV-y:

from any cause is run down and needs a reliable tonic. Ia ii happy to state that two members of my family have usea Paiue's celery compound witti the most gratifying rtsuits. My daughter in-law, Mrs. P. M. Donahoe, has received the most pronounced results from its use, whilst my son, J. Frank Donahoe, the organist of the Cathedral, is loud in its praise, having found it a great help in regaining his stiength from overwork in his profession.

Yes, I believe in Paine's celery compound. PATRICK DONAHOE Three-fourths of all the aches, pains and disabilities that aged persons suffer from arise plainly from retarded circulation. The slow blood stream gets choked with an accumulation of waste matter that declares its presence in twinges of rheumatism, lumbago, neuralgia and inability to sleep. All these unnatural conditions can be corrected and permanently done away with by vigorously cleansing the blood and regulating the tardy circulation. Paine's celery compound is pre eminently capable of doing thi6 beyond any other remedy.

There is nothing vague about tbe sort of "good health" that is promised by Paine's celery compound and vouched for by men and women who have used it. It means, among other things, firmer nerves, completer digestion, sweeter breath and more reg ular bodily functions. Paine's celery compound secures these where other remedies fail, because Paine's celery compound is the discovery of a great

physician, who knew all that the school and text books could teach him, but more than that, he knew sick men and women, as few physicians in any age have known them. Prof. Edward E. Phelps, M. D., LL. D., of the Dartmouth medical school, was able to drive out disease from the system, because he knew where the disease WB6 lodged and how to help the excretory organs, instead of confusing them as so many illogical remedies do in their effort to cleanse the blood. Paine's celery compound encourages and strengthens the kidneys, and enables them to cleanse the blood of its waste, poisonous matters that are the direct cause of drowsiness, listlessness. melancholia, blood diseases, wasitng sicknesses, headaches and that general "run down" condition that opens the door to definite organic diseases of the heart, kidneys or stomach, especially when a pert-on is advanced in years and no longer possessed of the abundant energy that characterizes youth alone.

Paine's celery compound makes the blood a bright red color, increases its volume in the arterit-s and quickens its circulation, and eijiii'li's a nc-rve-tired person to sleep eight or nine hours at a stretch. Every man or woman whose nervous strei gth is at all overtaxed, or whose life is a busy ore in many directions, will feel the invigorating, vitalizing effect of Paine's celnry compound, and sees his or her health mend from the first use of this greatest of all known invipora'ors auri remedies
