FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 10. 1899.

IK both Texas and Nebraska the legislatures have repectfully declined an opportunity to listen to a political address by Hon. Wm* J. Bryan.

GBOVEB CLEYKT.AND need not roar so lustily against another war. He is past the age when it would be necessary for him to buy another substitute.

IF Kipling's phrase, "ball devil and shalf child," fits the Filipino, the thing to do now is to lick the devil out of him and then bring up the childun the way he should go.

IT has been currently charged that Senator Gorman's object in organizing his fellow conspirators against the treaty was to surpercede Bryan as the leader of the Democratic party.

SOME of Aguinaldo's savage troops are armed with bows and arrows. Their capacity to set up a republic is hardly better than that of the Massachusetts Indians disciplined by Senator Hoar's ancestors.

RUSSIA'S circulating medium consists of 8795,500,000 gold, 895,000,000 silver and $362,500,000 bank notes. That country gave the silver standard a persevering trial and discarded it because of the constant loss caused people and the government by shifting value of the currency.

ST. LOUIS Globe-Democrat: Crawfords•ille, Ind., has a scheme to abate the tramp nuisance by vaccinating every tramp that drifts into the community. There is the usual doubt whether or not the tramp can be brought into Buch close relationship with anything that works. 2/5

WHEN the house adopts the resolution reported from the judiciary committee, declaring that the four representatives who accepted commissions in the army thereby vacated their in congress, as it will, it TVII rnerely put on official record what has been practically accepted by the four gentlemen most directly concerned, neither of whom [has performed any official duty in the^ house, or drawn any salary sincesaccepting their army commissions.

THE war investigating ({commission has completed its report, which will be handed to President McKinley this week. It is expected that the President will very shortly make the report public, and that, as a result of a portion of it, a military inquiry will be ordered of the charges made by Gen. Miles concerning the quality of beef furnished the army byi the contractors during the war with Spain, which will give Gen. Miles an opportunity to substantiate his charges. If he can do so, there will be very Berious trouble for the contractors if £not, there will be trouble forj-Gen. Miles. While there is some personal enmity between£Secretary Alger andJGen.JMiles, it is not and has not been, atan time, shared by President McKinley, who is only anxious that the truth shall be shown so clearly as to leave no doubt in the mind of any unprejudiced man, and determined wherever wrong doing shall be shown,jthat the guilty shall be punished, regardless of persons or consequences.

IF the senators who aided Senator Gorman in his fight against Mr. Bryan's leadership of the Democratic party, to the extent of voting with him against the ratification of the treaty of peace, could see themselves as others see them, they would hang their heads for »-hBme. There never was a more unnecessary introduction of personal peanut politics in a matter involving the honor of the country than the fight against the treaty, unnecessary, because every man who engaged in it knew from the first that ratification of the treaty was absolutely certain in any event, if not by Monday's vote, by the senate in an extra session. Knowing this, there was no excuse for the fight it served no other purpose Lhan to show that nearly all of the Democratic senators were more willing to follow the advice of Gorman than that of Bryan, even though they had to vote againBt the wishes of a great majority of their constituents, to do so. Not a few of these senators have already been repudiated by their

constituents, and will retire at the paroxysms of coughing, thus de*1.1., priving that disease of all dangerous close of this session of congress, and all of t^iem deserve the same fate.

FISH AND GAME LEGISLATION. Indianapolis News: Many people have the mistaken notion that laws enacted for the protection of fish and game,are in the interest of the rich. That is far from being true. The rich man is not confined to his locality for sport. If game or fish be scarce in his community, he can board a train and go where it is plentiful. But the laboring man, and the man confined from year to year to the neighborhood of bis home, can not afford the luxury of travel and yet, because of the hard work he does, it is he that needs recreation more than the rich. It is just this class of persons most interested in the enactment of protective fish and game laws.

Indiana is one of the finest Btates in the union for the propagation of both fish and game, and yet she has done less in the past than almost any other state to care for her fish and game The present legislature should see to it that wise fish and game laws are enacted, and proper provision is made to execute them for it is the experience lof all the larger statcB that such laws will not be enforced by the general public. We hope that something practical will be done to serve the interests of both the farmer and the man that is not able to go to distant states for the pleasure of rod or gun. Proper protection of game and fish would add immensely to the food resources of the state.

Gov. SHAW, of Iowa, who passed through Washington on his way home from a visit to New York, was impressed by the Iowa Republican Association and persuaded into an informal talk on public affairs His remarks about the Philippines were right to the point. He said: "If annexation means that the Philippines should ultimately be admitted as stateB, then there is not an expansionist in this country if anti-expansion means that the archipelago should be returned touSpain, then there is not one anti-expansionist in America. If anti-expansion does mean that we should not deny the right of self-gov-ernment to people competent to govern themeelveB, them we are all antiexpansionists." In other words, Gov. Shaw told his hearers that the policy of this government would always lean toward the freedom rather than the enslaving of peoples, notwithstanding the ranting of those who pretend to fear the contrary.

BALTIMORE Sun: Under the suggestive title, "'The Murder of the Modern Innocents," Mrs. Lew Wallace, in the Ladies' Home Journal, makes an eloquent and earnest protest against the crushing educational burdens imposed on children by the modern methods of our public school system. Her indictment is a powerful one, not only because of the manner of its presentation, but because of the facts by which it iB sustained. Every parent who has a child at school will recognize its truth. The tremendous educational pressure and strain to which public school children are subjected result in a veritable slaughter of the innocents, in wrecked or enfeebled constitutions, which leave a heritage of weakness to the next generation."

CIRCUMSTANCES alter cases. When good, old George Washington advised against entangling alliances with foreign powers, the United States were thirteen struggling commonwealths, poorly unionized, and threatened by every political wind that blew. The present grandeur of the republic was never dreamed of by the excellent Virginia gentleman."" He spoke for his time and auder^circumstances wholly alien to existing conditions. vl: "New occasions teach new duties time makes ancient good uncouth.

We must upward then and onward, who would keep abreast of truth."

REPRESENTATIVE-ELECT LONG of Kansas, who will succeed Jerry Simpson, and who is now in Washington, said of his state: "Kansas is now back in the Republican column, and though I am not an aspirant for prophetic honors, I am free to state that it will remain there. The people have had their fill of Popuiist heresy. In our banks there is more money in proportion to population than in any other state in the union."

GEN. JOHN M. PALMKJJ was allowed a pension of 8100 a month and deliberately cut it down to 850 stating that such a sum should be the limit. As Gen. Palmer ia po and is too old to be doing Buch a thing for political effect his action cannot be construed as a play for popular applause. It was merely the conscientious action of an honest man.

THERE is no better medicine for the babies than Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. Its pleasant taste and prompt and effectual cures make it a favorite with mothers and small children. It quickly cures their coughs and colds, preventing pneumonia or other serious consequences. It also cures croup and has bsen used in tens of thousands of cases without a single failure so far as we have been able to learn. It not only cures croup, but when given as soon as the croupy cough appeal's, will prevent the attack. In cases of whooping cough it liquefies the tough mucuB, making it easier to expectorate, and lessens the severity and frequency of

consequences. For I Booe, druggists.

THE BALLAD OF BERRY BROWN.

Oh, do you know a country lad Iby name of Berry Brown, Who rides upon a load of wood along the streets of town? He has a hat turned up in frontand crumpled down behind, rils curly hair so long and fair is tumbled by the wind, And through his coat his elbows peep, and through his boots his toes But everywhere and anywhere he whistles as he goes.

There's something strangely taking in the eyes of Berry^Brown— They seem to flash a cheery light along the streets of town Despite his coarse and tattered vest, his boots and hat forlorn, His trousers patched, threadbare,and sagged, bis shirt so old and worn, For every glimpse he gives he takes a measure of surprise, And everybody wonders where the secret of lies.

And so his way of sitting there, so steadfast, calm and strong His air. as if his whistling bore wagor and wood along His Independence and self-trust, the iflrm-set throat and chin, The working of his muscles when he reins his horses in. Take hold of one and fascinate, as hints and glimpses can, When all the glory of a boy is merging into man.

Oh, Berry Brown looks careless, but he holds his secret well: Far bidden in the clouds are heights whereon his visions dwell Within him somewhere dwells a vein of an cibnt hero-vim, And who shall hold him back one step, or set the pace for him? Wait, you shall 'see if poverty can chain so strong a soul. Or if to sell his wood can be he rounding of his goal!

The old folks shake their heads and say: "Look out for Berry Brown When he shall measure forces with the best boys in the town! The wind has beat in llerry's face, the sun has burned his skin, Andvinter's cruel hand has pinched where Sgjgg Berry Brown has been But hearts like his are brave enough to meet the'strokes that form And fortify the giant souls that take the world by storm5 '-c —Maurice Thompson, in February St, Nicholas.

War Department Keorgunizntion.

There has never been a time in the history of the United States when rightly or wrongly the war department was so profoundly distrusted by the country as to-day. Yet congress is asked to enact legislation which will virtually quadruple the siz9 of our regular army and there is to devolve upon our forces the very difficult and delicate business of occupying Cuba and the Philippines, while military governments are to be maintained in those islands under war department direction. It is to be hoped that congress will have the wisdom and firmness to thoroughly reorganize the war department before increasing the army. The army of the United States should be commanded by its generals. Our navy is in fine order and enjoys unlimited confidence because it is' not in politics. Our army management is in wretched shape because it is permeated with the spirit of political bureaucracy. It is in no manner pleasant to pass criticisms of this kind and while the war was actively on our hands the system had to be borne with. But the country has b»en patient long enough, and the time for plain speech has fully arrived. It is not to be believed that Eagan or any other man in office in connection with supply bureaus was directly or indirectly trying to make a cent of money out of the war. We do Lot for a moment suppose that there is any corruption to be unearthed, either in Eagan's or in any other army bureau But Eagan's outburst shows the spirit of hatred and jealousy, discord and essential insubordination that has existed among men exercising important military functions and such a spirit, actively at work, is almost as demoralizing to the army as peculation or fraud —From "The Progress of the World," in the American Monthly Review of Reviews for February.

Growing la Popularity.

The following appeared the other day in the capital chat of the Washington Post: "Representative Landis, c-f Indiana, who made a decided hit about a jear ago at a banquet in Boston, is soon to invade the heart of Yankeedom again. This time ho will penetrate Speaker Reeti's city, Portland, Me., and address a banquet of the Lincoln club on February 13th. The newt-paperb in that section are printing biographies of the Hoosier, including comment about the counties in his congressional district and about the brilliant record he bas made as an editor and lawmaker."

healthy liver, but this pemetual overwork at last does what over functional activity does for other organs—impairs of destroys their excreting power and opens the door to Bright's disease and diabetes. Paine's celery compound enables the liver to work without tearing itself to pieces. It supplies nervous energy to the organ and prevents irritation. It purifies the blood and does not leave the whole nurifying task to one organ, whether liver kidney or bowels. It obviates the collapse of any one of these organs and prevents dispase.

It not only regulates the nervous organization, but directly nourishes it sends more and better blood to supply the wanted nervous tissues and take the killing strain from the kidneys.

Here is a heartfelt letter as it was written on Dec. 12 last by Mrs. William Nelson, who is cashier of the Central Relief Committee of Chicago.-

Gentlemen:—I have used Paine's celery compound several times for the past two years for liver and kidney trouble I have swelled up and felt sick and bad. The doctor's medicine nover helped me, but Paine's celery compound always did. There is nothlike it. It is splendid."

Nerve tension is disguised under a good many symptoms that induce thoughtless people to apply some useless local remedy when the only lasting reiief will come from purified blood, kidneys aroused to work stomach secreting abundance of digestive.juices and a toned up state of ft»e nerves. For this there is no need of further proof as to the value of Paine's celery compound than can be^ furnished by the reader's own nsighbors if you will take the pains to make inquiries. The best test of the value of Paine's celery compound is to trv it.
