FRIDAY, JULY 22. 1398.

A CI'STOM house has been set up already in Santiago. Uncle Sam can always be depended on to collect a tariff.

THE naval strategy board, so criticised a month ago, is now wearing a feather. No steps wero lost in forcing an entrance to Santiago harbor and all needful results have been effected.

IT is estimated that it will cost about 81,250,COO to send the surrendered Spaniards of the province of ^Santiago back to their native land. This free excursion was a great financial stroke by Shafter as the removal of the dingies to this country, their maintenence here until the close of war, and their removal home then as the laws of war require prisoners of war must be restored to their own country, would have cost the United States many times in excess cf the cost of their immediate removal home from Cuba.

WHAT MAY IIA 1'1'K.V.

It is to be hoped that Spain is und/r no illusions as to the terms of peace she must finally accept at our hands. The United States must absolutely occupy Cuba and hold it under military rule until the people are prepared for a solf government that will be satisfactory to this country. The island of Porto Rico must become absolutely and unqualifiedly the property of this government. The Philippine Islands must be taken possession of and held under military rule as security for an indemnity, the amount of which should equal the cost of the #war. This will make a disposition of the Philippine Islands that exception cannot be taken to by any of the

European nations, and will do away with any possibility of foreign complications growing out of our control of that territory. If the foreign nations object to our holding the .islands in perpetuity, all they can do is to render monetary aid to Spain so that the indemnity can be paid off, when the islands held as collateral will be returned. This country had better have the indemnity money in the treasury than to hold the collateral security indefinitely. It will stand simply as a forced loan of such a character as all business people understand and will have to run until liquidated by the security being redeemed by the debtor or sold out at option when it becomes marketable to pay off the debt. This, in general terms, and nothing short of this, is what Spain must face and accept when the final negotiations are reached. The terms may evoke a fresh outburst of Spanish pride and cause some temporary refusal to sub mit but no other conditions will satisfy the American people.

..•WHAT THE SUKKENDEK M15AXS. The surrender of the Spanish army atSantiago and its transportation homo by American vessels is a most significant event. It is a humiliation to

Spain which tells more plainly than words can the weakness of her hold ou Cuba and her despair of military success. She consents to the withdrawal of the Santiago soldiers which she had counted upon for the defense of the island and the final struggle at Havana. She enables us to utilize all her armaments at Santiago and saves us from the loss of men and arms which might have resulted from our having to take that position by force. She at the same time fatally weakens herself and saves and strengthens our fighting resources. She does this in spite of the protests of Gen. Blanco and of her troops, and notwithstanding the danger of raising serious political troubles in Spain. A surrender under such conditions admits of but one possible construction. It means that official Spain, which knows the actual condition and numbers of the army, :,has no hope whatever of succeeding in this struggle, and, after an imposing show of national pride, is at last yielding to a humane consideration for her undoubtedly brave soldiers. This cannot be regarded as anything less than a first and also along step towards peace. As between the Spanish government and the Spanish people.it is a bold experiment. A few hours will show how this step is received by the dissenting politicians and the people of Spain. If the government is sustained by popular approval, this first step may be 6oon followed by further odvauCcS towards ths pacific issue which this surrender so plainly

foreshadows. If the Spanish administration is overthrown and a war government succeeds it, then a revolutionary confusion may result which will make Spain's case more hopeless than ever though it might momentarily postpone the possibility of ending the war. In any case, the surrender at Santiago means a large progress towards peace: though it is possible that political confusion or the infatuation of military leaders may involve a clinging to Havana until Ilia season admits of our troops besieging that stronghold.

The amount given for this year does not include the dogs returned delinquent but just the sum paid to the assessors. There were about two hundred dogs upon which the tax was not paid to the assessor and for which the prosecutor has been doing some work. Half of the 1S07 tax levy is not yet collected. It will be seen that the amount paid to the assessors this year is over a thousand dollars more than received by the three other levies given, even counting the amount yet to be received on the second half of 1S9T levy the same as received on the first part.

People should remember that the law requires people getting dogs after the assessor has been around to go to the trustee and pay the current year's tax.

One man has been reported as paying for a male dog when his dog was a female and he was selling the dog's pups when the assessor was around. Another man said his dog was not three months old, when in fact the dog was nearly a year old and had lived at his place six months. A man was keeping a female dog belonging to another man, and on the night of March 31 the dog was found tied on the owner's porch, The owner cut the string and the next morning the dog was back to where he had been staying. \'et this dog was not given in. Owning a dog on April 1 has nothing to do with the case the current year tax must be paid on dogs three months old, it makes no difference when you become owner of the dog. Some think that you must own the dog on April 1: yet if these same people had a dog on April 1 and the dog would die the next day they would never dream about paying the assessor for the dead dog, while at the same time, if owning on April 1 governed the case, they would be required to pay the trx on that dead dog.

M. .Stearns.

[Copyright, lSOS. by D. M. Stearns.] 1. "And Ahnb told Jezebel all that Elijah had clone nnd withnl how ho had slain nil the prophets with tho sword." That was a record that would stir all tho devil that was in her. But sho was fast filling up tho treasure of lier iniquity, and her time would foon be over then tho outer darkness. It i.- good when husbands and wives tell each other everything. Let us as believers bo sure that wo toll Jesus everything, both wliac wo do and what wo teach (Mark vi, :Ju). 2. ",-'o let the gods do to me, nnd more also, if I make not thy lifo ns tho lil'o of ono of them by tomorrow about this time." Vain threat of a wicked woman! For did she not know that tho liod of Elijah had so securely hidden him for three years that he could not be found? But she was angry now and stopped to think of nothing but the vengeance that was in her heart against God and His servant. o. "And when ho saw that, he. arose and went for his life and came to Beersheha. which belongcth to Judith, and left his servant there." Desperate people are sometimes permitted to do desperate things, and it mi :ht have been very unwise lo havo remained within reach of such a one. When they persecute you in one city, it is some!in-.cs right to llee to another. Yet in this ease it looks as if Jezebel and her threat came for tho time between Elijah and his tied. •1. "It is enough. Now, O Lord, take away niv life, for I am not heller than my fathers!" This was his prayer to God, sis having gone a day's journey into tho wilderness he sar down under a juniper tree and wished lie was dead. Vet this is the same mail who stood before all Israel on Carmel in the name of the Lord. Then he stood will God and l'or God, and thought not of himself, but now he considers himself and sees that lie is no better than his fathers. His mind is not, staid upon God. lie is considering feelings and \rcumstances, and God is not ruling in hit:.'. u. "And as ho lay and slept under a juniper tree, behold, then an angel touched him and said unto him. Arise and eat.'' lie was weary and needed rest, and God gave it to him. It is wonderful how differently hi igs appear when we have been refreshed by sleep. We are often like fretful children who do not know what ails them, but mother knows that it is time they wero asleep, lie givelh to His beloved in sleep. 0. "And he looked, and, behold, there was a cake baken on tho coals and a cruse of water at his head. And he did eat and drink and laid him down again." God saw that His child was hungry as well as weary. A little sleep quieted and prepared the body to receive tho food which an angel had prepared, and without seeming to count it at all strange to bo thus provided for he cuts and drinks and sleeps again. 7. "And the angel of the Lord came again the second time and touched him and said. Arise and eat, because tho journey is too great for thee. How wonderfully ministered unto is this poor, weak child of God, who is so discouraged and wants to die. little thinking that he is never to die, but be gloriously received up when his work is done! Every child of God is just ns well cared for. Father, Son and I-Ioly Spirit and tho angels are all ministering unto us. 8. "And he arose and did eat and drink and went in tho strength of that meat 40 days and -10 nights untolloreb, tho mount of God." The Lord Jehovah is our strength and song. Jesus Himself is the true bread from heaven. When it is our meat, vs it was Ills to do the Father's will, we can go in that strength of that meat to our journey's end. We do not live by bread alone, but by every word of God. 'J. What doest thou here, Elijah?" This is the word of the Lord to him as lie lodges in a cave at Horeb. It is a good word of the Lord to us at all times, and happy is it for us if we are never found where Ho has not sent us. Better still if wo can say truthfully, "Lord, I am on Thy business, for Thou didst send me." 3 0. "And lie said, I have been very jealous l'or the Lord God of Hosts." Then he tolls what tho Lord well knew about Israel's sins, but adds that ho is the or.lv prophet living, and his lifo is in danger. What God would do if ho should he killed he does not dare lo hint, but he evidently thinks the. Lord's cause is in great peril. 11. 12. He is told to stand on the mount before the Lord, and, behold, tho Lord passed by. There was a mightv wind, then an earthquake, then a lire,'but the Lord was not in either of them. Then there was a still, small voice. How slow wo are to learn that God often works in tho most unlikely ways and through most unlikely people—tho still, small voice rather than the storm or earthquake or lit e. 18, 14- To tho repeated question, "What doest thou here, Elijah?" after all that groat object lesson, he gives the same replyas before, indicating that he was so preoccupied with himself and his championship for God that tho lesson was lost upon him. It is true that lie did not know till God told him (verso IS) that thcro wero 7,000 still, small voices l'or God who had not bowed to Baal, but ho did not know, for Obadiah had told him (chapter xviii, 1H) that there were 100 whom Obadiah himself had cared for. 15, 10. He is told to return and anoint a king over Syria and a king over Israel, and tho Lord adds, "Elislia, tho son of Shaphat, of Abel-Iileholah, shnlt thou anoint to be prophet in thy room." When any worker with God gets so exalted in his own estimation that* lie thinks himself tho only oi:'i capable of doing tho work, it is ih.cn time to appoint his successor in ofliee. God will use any vessel that is willing to bo used by Him and to His glory, but when the vessel begins to think itself important it is time to break it or set it aside. Although Paul wrought more than others, he said, "Xot I, but the grace of God which was with me" (I Cor. xv, 10). John tho Baptist insisted that he was'only a voice. Our Lord Jesus made Himself of no reputation, but emptied Himself oven unto death.- ilay we, like Elijah in chapter xvii, J, remember that it is the living God before whom we stand, and that litis well able to maintain His causo without any help of ours. May wo rejoice to say witb Paul, "Whoso 1 am and whom I serve," holding ourselves ready for any manner of ser\ico, wholly at Ilis commandment (I Chron. xxviii, 21), and, like Elislia, faithfully uoing ordinary work, yet ready for any call from liim. If He sees us faithful and ready, Ho will call when Ho wants us and put us whero lie can best use us.

PLAIN TALE OF A DOQ.

Veteran Relates experience with ma Animal with a Howl. Chicago Chronicle: "I never owned but one dog," said a civil war veteran, "and that one I got in the south when I was in the army. I was told he was a bloodhound. I might well have known that this was not true, but the statement doubtless had an influence upon me. My term of enlistment had nearly expired when I secured him and he wasn't a very big dog when I brought him home. But regular meals caused him to grow rapidly and he was soon decidedly tall. His body was thin and narrow, his legs big and long indeed, his build suggested a carpenter's horse. He was the clumsiest dog that ever lived, and the ugliest, with a long, smooth tail and big floppy ears. He was a thoroughbred, sure. But, withal, he was a friendly, good-natured brute and tried in every way to sustain that character toward every member of the family. He was, however, possessed of one characteristic that was far from agreeable, and that was his howl. I've studied the howls of dogs without hearing one like his. And another thing we never could stop him. His mission evidently was to howl, and he fulfilled it at night, and that in the highest form of art. We tried every conceivable remedy to break him of this most obnoxious habit, but without avail. Finally we put him outdoors at night. We put him into a kennel that we built for him in the yard and, as he didn't begin operations at the usual hour the first night, we concluded we had cured him, but along about 1 o'clock in the morning we found out our mistake. He began to outhowl all his previous howls. They were the wildest and most unearthly we ever heard. He howled for all outdoors and awoke everybocv for blocks around. We heard wind -va go up and knew that folks were V' -loning. Then tho brute howled agair, nnd the windows were all closed with a slam. The next day my next-door neighbor told me if I put the dog out again he would shoot him. Wo didn't want him hurt, so we kept him in at night after that and had his howls to ourselves. A few days later he strayed away and never came back. We never knew for sure what became of him, but we were not greatly burdened with the doubt."

$40,000.

To Be Given Away By Franklin Miles, M. D. LL. D., of Chicago, in Free Treatment to 16,000

Persons—Dr. Miles'Fame as a Specialist and His Methods of Treats ment.

A planby which lO.roo people will sh.irc in the distribution of $40,000 lias been m.tde public by rrunkiin Miles, M. D. LL.1).. of Chicago.

This iniifftiilicent rift is oll'ered to those most entitled to sympathy from their fellow men. the sufferers from chronic diseases or diseases which threaten to become chronic and those whose recovery has been pronounced hopeless by physicians

Dr. liles has offered to give free treatment to the amount, of i'2 fiU to anyone who applies within a limited time-enough to demonstrate the scieniitic accuracy and wholesome common sense of his met hods.

Dr. Miles Is ti.e leading specialist in diseases of the nerves, stomach, heart, liver and kidneys. He has studkd these diseases.aided by a strong bndy of assistants, for twentyfour yeatB. He has treated nearly 60,001) cases by mall iu all parts of tbe United States, Canada and Mexico aLd has kept records of every case. Its cause, symptoms, treatment and cure, recoida that are now priceless.

He has discovered the vast Importance of nervous enercy in inaiutHiniiig health. He has proved that diseases of a chronic nature are accompanicd by failure of tho nerve-centre which supply the motive power for the diseased organ. Often a cure depends entirely upon restoring the health and energy of the nerves and nerve-centres so that they can do their appointed work. Ilis results in this new field of medicine aro marvelous.

He has taken account of nature's laws anc' his lirst step is to instruct, patients and insist on obedience to those laws.

As an illustration of this single int in Ilis practice it is pertinent lo quote the words Dr. Miles used recently iu speaking of stomach tioubles: "To bs cured." he said, "natural law must be recognized and obeyed. Indigestible foods rnurt be avoided as the first, step in tho cure of diseases of the stomach. The America's Medical Institute always carefully instructs patients reiriirding the best foods foi them to eat. and the best methods of cooking the same."

Methods liknthc above are tho first steps in troatlns every disease. Diet, clothing and daily habits of II fe are studied and plain Instructions given for improving tlio general health. Then the treatment of the disease follows.

By meaus of a symptom blank, which is wonderfully simple and complete, tho patlent is able to describe every detail of his trouble, liy means of this question blank Dr. Miles is enabled to locate exactly where the trouble lies and determino the exact causc of it.

In all his treatment the iulluenco of tho nerves on the organs hey furnish the power to, a matter which physicians usually neglect, is fully taken into account. All thai, is needed for a complete cure, In many cases, Is to treat the nerve centres so that tho diseased orpin shall rrceive enough nerve power to make it act strongly and healthfully.

It will cost nothing, under Dr. Miles' liberal offer, to consult him and to give a fair trial to his method of treatment, which has cured tens of thousands. To get a systom blank and free treatment, address, The America's Medical Institute, Suite 1316, Masonic Temple, Chicago.
