FRIDAY, APRIL 7. 1899.

THE Filipinos claim that they are "fired by patriotism," but the flames never break out until the patriots are on a dead run.

THE military court of inquiry has not finished hearing evidence, but it hopes to do so this week and to make its report inside of two or three weeks.

THE Crawfordsville Democratic papers have indulged in no joyous exclamations over Carter Harrison's reelection, They are more[inclinedato lament Altgeld's defeat.

THBICE fortunate is the town of Bronston, Kan., whoBe people were too busy to hold an election, and will, consequently, be without a city gov ernment for the next two years.

THE Democratic party is very willing that the theories of Coin Harvey should be adopted aB the financial policy of the United States but they vote him a flat failure as financial manager of the Democratic party. This might be denominated as putting party above country.

THE day before the Chicago mayor-*-lity election the campaign* prophets the unspeakable Altgeld placed his ^ote at 145,000, but overshot the mark mii00,000.

Yet Altgeld was the only

^jgenuine, blown-in-the-bottle Democrat Running on the Chicago 1G to 1 or bust

ALTGELD, who led the bolt against young Carter Harrison in Chicago, ^jsays that the re-election of the latter j^s mayor "means that Mr. Harrison has already betrayed the Democratic pparty and will carry the betrayal a great deal further, and make the reelection of McKinley a certainty."

Altgeld should employ some of his anarchist friends to rub a soothing 1 balm upon his sore spots.

A STATEMENT recently prepared by experts of the treasury department fixes the cost of the war up to September 1 at $120,000,000 and estimates that the expenses during the remainder of the calendar year will aggregate about 8115,000,000 additional, or 8235,000,000 in all. El Correo, the Madrid newspaper, which is regarded as the organ of Senor Sagasta, has stated that the Spanish government has expended 8384,000,000 and 100,000 lives Bince March, 1895, to retain possession of the island of Cuba.

ADMIRALS MOUTEJO and Cervera, whose fleets were destroyed after a gallant fight in the late war, were Coldly received at Madrid, and both are awaiting trial by court martial for allowing an overwhelming force to overcome them General Jaudenes, who surrendered to our army and navy at Manila, has been arreBted and imprisoned at Madrid by order of a court partial General Toral, according to ^11 accounts as brave a soldier as ever jjrew his Bword for his country, is awaiting the decision of a court martial for capitulating at Santiago, and Colonel San Martin, who retreated from Ponce on the approach of General Brooke, has gone to the penal settlements of Cetua for life. Brave men all, who, having borne the brunt of battle for a corrupt and imcompetent government, are punished because they could not wrest victory from foredoomed defeat. The Spaniards and all their progeny, including the Cubans, will be found to be, from the I Saxon view, inconceivably queer specVimens of the genus homo.

S THE l'OSTOFFICE. Two billions aud an added half-mil-lion of 2-cent postage stamps were sold I in this country in 1898.

The number of special delivery stamps used WBB two-and-a-quarter million. i:-

Postmaster-General Smith calls attention to the rapid and amazing growth of the postal business in all (its branches. In the last fiscal year ithe gross revenue was 889,012,618, against 833,315,479 in 1880, and the gross expenditures 898,033,523, against $36,542,804 the number of poBtofficeB was 73,000 against 43,000. Within this peiiod the population has increased about 50 per cent, while the powtal business has multiplied nearly threefold. The general increase of ^expenditures for the last year has been little more than the preceding one, despite the fact that nearly 81.000,000 earned in mail transportation by the aided Pacific railrdad compan­

ies was paid this year directly out of the department appropriations. There was an increase in postal receipts of nearly 80,500,000 over the aggregate of 1897, which is cited as a proof that the country is again prosperous.

The estimates of revenues and expenditures for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1900, follows: Total estimated revenue, 8100,958,118 estimated expenditures, 8105,224,000 deficiency for 1900, estimated, 84,265,888. But for the gross abuse of second-class matter privileges the deficit would have disappeared long ago and its present and promised decrease is in the face of thisjabuse.

"PUBLIC Schools and Parents' Duties" forms the theme of a very clever article by Julian Hawthorne in the North American Review for April Touching upon American parents' neglect of their children, Mr. Hawthorne says: "We do not do our duty by them It is too soft an expression to say that we entrust them to the state, we abandon them to it. We pay for their book learning, and their amusements, but we deny them what it is our chief con cern to give them—opportunity to de velop character, Yet it is in order to afford them that opportunity we, as parents, exist."

The irritability of temper, the peevishness, drowsiness, and uneasi­

r: Nervousness, that so often appears at this season, inserts the thin

edge of the wedge that opens the way for a long list of maladies. If you

are overworked, haggard from sleepless nights, nervous and unhappy,

do not give way to dread and depression before you have tried Paine's

celery compound. It is the one fair test of this wonderful remedy—to try it.

Now spring has come, the tired feelings and "out of sorts" condi­

tion are to warn one that the blood is impure and the nerves "run down."

Paine's celery compound assists nature at this critical time. It supplies

a scientific nerve food. Taken now, it will enable the body to throw

off headaches, rheumatism and ailments akin to nervousness. It will

sweep out every impurity from the blood, and will nourish the nerves

and brain.. It is the most effective, accurate spring remedy ever formulated.
