FRIDAY, JANUARY 27. 1869

THE Filipino leaders are unrecognized anywhere in the world or by each other. What they represent is the principle of anarchy and revolution, not that of liberty.

THE wife of Gen. Wood is organizing at Santiago a society for the prevention of cruelty to animals. A few monthB ago bull fights were the fashionable sport in that vicinity.

THE statement that Ex-President Harrison is opposed to the colonial policy of President McKinley is untrue. It is a reckless falsehood and will re-act as much as the statement made by the same man last fall to the effect that Tom Bowles had come out for free silver.

CAPT. BAIRD, just returned from Cuba, brings as a present to Governor Mount a machete which was used by one Felix Rios to chop a Cuban deserter to small bits. When the governor retires from public office to the sweet quiet of Willowdale farm he will find the instrument invaluable in corn cutting time.

SENATOR HAWLEY has forwarded to the town clerk of Hartford, Conn., in accordance with law, a sworn statement as to the cost to him of his reelection to the senate, which is as creditable to him as it is to the Connecticut legislature. It shows that Mr. Hawley spent no money, except for postage, and that less than S3 was spent for that.

"THE

right man'in the right place"

is the general Republican comment upon Speaker Reed's selection of Representative Payne, of New York, to succeed the late Representative Dingley, chairman of the bouse committee on ways and means, and Republican leader. Mr. Payne has been in the house fourteen years and

A SEEKER after higher education can be instructed as well and as thoroughly at Wabash College, Rose Polytechnic, or the Valparaiso Normal as he can at the State University, Purdue, or the State Normal. His expenses at any one of these places are practically the same. In short, he gets the same goods for the same price at a non-state school that he

getB

at a state school.

This being the fact will some champion of the state school trust arise and explain why the people of Indiana should be burdened with a iheavy tax in order to support several institutions for higher education? Would it not be much better to expend these funds for the establishment of free kindergartens? or on some feature of the state's educational work in which the whole people could share and not merely the favored few who seek a college education?

ROAD SUPERVISORS.

THE JOUKNAL will say in reply to the communication of "X. Y. Z." in today's tissue, that it never so much es intimated that road supervisors were dishonest. The proposition it advanced was that supervisors are wholly unnecessary—that roads could be better eared for by letting out the road repairing to the lowest bidder, making the contractor hiB own supervisor, •nd requiring him to give bond for the faithful performance of his work. This system would do away with the entire expense of supervisors, which we showed to be very burdensome. We have not claimed that supervisors do not earn the money they get. One may earn his wages when hired to watch a hive of bees while they gather honey but his wages would be a useless expenditure of the employer's money. We do not doubt that the road supervisor is as honest as other people. All we insist on is that he is gjn entirely useless wheel in the machinery of the road law.]

HAMILTON AND JEFFERSON.

No one is justified in misrepresenting the history of the country and the opinions and teachings of our public men for mere party advantage. The Democratic press and Democratic orators are in the constant habit of misrepresenting both Hamilton and Jefferson. Governor Altgeld, in a late address, portrayed Hamilton as a monarchist wishing to establish a government here similar to the British government. It is true that Hamilton did favor a strong central government, and time has amply vindicated hiB wisdom. But the charge that he was a monarchist is utterly untrue. He was no more in favor of a monarchy than was George Washington. It may be safely said that no man did more thffn Hamilton to secure the adoption of the present constitution. He was opposed, and strongly opposed, to Mr. Jefferson's absurd interpretation of the constitution, under which any state legislature could declare the acts of congress null and void and forbid their execution. And it would be hard, at this day, to find any statesman who does not admit the absurdity of this nullification theory. Had it prevailed over Hamilton's theory it would have long since resulted in breaking the nation into a score or more of fragments, and robbed us of all our prosperity and greatness as a people. If there is any one man to whom, more than another, we are indebted for our national power and un exampled prosperity, that man is Alexander Hamilton. Mr. Hamilton did not believe in linking the states together by a rope of sand, as did Mr. Jefferson he was in favor of giving to the national government power to ex act obedience to its rule power to preserve order, power to suppress rebellions and insurrections such as we had in 1

SO

'ranked as a leading member of that body.

THE attitude of the two political parties toward the Philippines was graphically shown by the following, from a spirited dialogue between General Grosvenor, of Ohio, and Representative Carmack, of Tennessee: General Grosvenor—"What would the distinguished gentleman from Tennessee do with the Philippines?" Mr. Carmack—"I would turn my back on them and sail away and never look back." General Grosvenor—"And all the world would brand your back with the word coward!"

1, and it is now plain to everyone that without this great central power, the government could not exist. The whole history of the country has amply demonstrated the unerring foresight of Hamilton and the wholly impracticable and visionary character of the statesmanship of Mr. Jefferson. Any attempt to revive the Democratic platform of 1852 and 1856, which favored states' rights, must prove as futile as would an attempt to revive the doctrine of witchcraft or that of infant damnation.

THE battleships Kearsarge and Kentucky will be ready for active service by July 1, six months ahead of time. Our growing navy and interests on both sides of the world emphasize the demand for the Nicaragua canal.

THE Brooklyn Eagle puts the case in this terse form: "Expansion is evolution. Evolution is destiny. Destiny is duty, and expansion is all of them." For a Democratic paper the Eaylc is doing well.

Died.

May Eva Donovan was born Aug. 7, 1870, and was the eldest of eight children of J. and Ella Donovan. She was married to George Moore, May 1, 1895, and died Jan. 1, 1899, at her home in Danville, 111. Beiag the oldest she was looked to by her brothers and sisters as a guide and her life was such that she was a noble guide. Uniting with the M. E. church in her youth, she was a devout member all her life, never shirking her duty in any way. She was always obedient to her parents and devoted to her Saviour. She was loved by all who knew her. Her daily life was one grand example for others and one her companions were not ashamed to follow. She was a devoted wife and mother to her husband and baby boy, who with her father, mother, three sisters and three brothers will ever mourn her death.

But dear friends, take her loving life, her dying testimony, her willingness and readiness to go at her master's call, follow her life, looking only to Christ as she did, and it will be a short time only till you may-meet her again to part no more.

Fold her hands above her breast, Her work is done. Her feet have pressed the golden strand,

Her racoon earth is run. But Heaven is nearer than mortals think When they look with trembling dread, At the misty future that reaches out tfrom the sllont home of their dead.

And her eyes that were closed in a dying hour, Have opened now in bliss. Her voice was singing son in the other world

Ere it was hushed in this. Then very near seem the pearly gates, And sweetly the music's fall, Till we all are restless iosoar away

And answer our darling's call.

Nancy M. Foster.

Nancy M. Foster was born in Virginia May 5, 1819, and died at the home of her niece, Mrs. George McCay, at Garfield Jan. 22, 1899, aged seventynine years, eight months and seventeen days. She was married to Aaron Monfort Feb. 21, 1851. He died Dec. 25, 1870, leaving her to fight the battle of life alone. She joined the Presbyterian church in early life. She was kind, charitable and a friend to all. She bore her sickness with patience, gladly awaiting the time to hear that welcome plaudit, "Well done, thou good and faithful servant. Thou hast been faithful over a few things. I will make thee ruler over many. Enter thou into the joy of the lord." She grappled with her last enemy, death,, but hark, the conflict of life is over. She is victorious. She wore the shield of faith, the breast plate of righteousness, She has gained the victory and now she can look back and say, "Oh death, where is thy sting? Oh grave, where is thy victory?" W. F. ti.

an English writer in reviewing the scientific work of the last quarter of a century, "upon having soeBsily within their reach to-day a remedy which the wealthiest and most influential persons must themselves use, if they would get the best that modern medical skill offers. Paine's celery compound proves that the science of medicine has kept pace with the wonderful progress which characterizes the life of the present generation."

The astonishing reputation that this most wonderful of all remedies has acquired is principally due to the word-of-mouth recommendation and endorsement of men and women of the highest business and soc'al standing, as well as of those in humbler but no lesB important positions who have themselves discovered its merits.

Adeline, Countess Schimmelmann, whose portrait is here given, in a recent letter to the Wells & Richardson company speaks of friends of hers who have been benefitted by Paine's celery compound, and who first advised her to recommend it to her sick friends.

been much talked of. Her real object was one of charity, for she is using her wealth and influence in assisting the Danish people in the western states. She is stopping in Chicago and from there writes her straigtforward endorsement of Paine's celery compound.

Women who are easily excited, who waste energy worrying over trifles, who are often sufferers from sick headache and nervousness, should read the plain, unbiased statements of what Paine'6 celery compound has done for other women.

Among the diseases that cause a vast amount of needless suffering that may be readily cured by Paine's celery compound are biliousness, torpid liver, headaches, sleeplessness, dizziness, constipation, dyspepsia and general nervousness and debility.

No man or woman who is continually ailinsr can successfully carry on business, or be of much real comfort to the household.

And only a thoroughly nourished body that has all the used-up, and therefore harmful, material promptly removed from the blood and tissues can be healthy. When either of these vital conditions of adequate repair or elimination are incompletely done, the organs need just such help as Paine's celery compound is fitted to give. No other remedy is so valuable.

Where other remedies have failed, Paine's celery compound will succeed.
