1ariy to Mr.. Biaine's POSITION tat the

statesman and who was candidate for

a record of trickery, vacilla,ion or

risks of supply. Even the selected
companionship of unprincipled asso-
ciates will mar with the shadow of bad
possibilities an otherwise decent name.
Tried by such test before the COM

would the two contcnding parties,

honor, which no strain of repudiated
debts. never bankrupt in principle, shell

eAyARo AND ENGLAND.


Our STATE Dspastmsnt Run in the Interest
o. Oreas Britain.
At . meeting of the Republican Ma
tional League held in Washington.
Senator Teller. Of Colorado. said that
whenever the people learned how
tie State Department had been run.
it would be enough to change the Ad-
ministration. A British officer went
aboard one Of our ships and pulled
down our flag, and a mild protest was
entered by that department. They
said that they didn't think it was
quite the proper thing to pull down
our flag. but that was the end of the
whole affair"
The Senator declared that he re-
membered q time when the outrage
would have stirred the whole coun-
try from one end to the Others" when
there would have been mass-meetings
held and the people would have de-
clared for war against Britain. He
commented severely upon the action
of the State Department in bringing
the Chamberlain Fish Commission
over here '.in the face of a protest from
the United States Senate" and con-
tinued: ''Let us have it understood
that we have got money enough to
build ships and to buy cannon, and
that we are able to resent an insult
offered to our flag just as our fathers
did when there were but few millions
people here. We were not afraid
to go to war with Britain many years
ago, but we had different class of men
conducting the Government then. l
don't want war if it can be avoided.
but l don't care if the American flag
was floating over only a decayed mack
erel. when any one pulled it down
there would be a fight" And he add
ed that the party proceeding upon that
principle between now and the next
election would win. and that the mass
Of our citizens believed this nation was
big enough to take care of itself against
the whole world, if necessary.
Those expressions voice the senti-
ment of the American people as dis
tinguished from that of the Cleveland
Administration. Our citizens feel that
they are not only able to maintain their
independence but to assert their rights
on land and sea in any quarter of the
world. They are not to be cowed by
the apparent strength of England's
navy or cajoled into an alliance with
that Power on any pretext or by any
special pleading. and the efforts of the
State Department to bring about that
result will only arouse popular distrust
and indignation against those who at
present control its affairs and lead to
the overthrow at the next opportunity
of an Administration whose main eff
forts have been directed to secure the
adoption of a policy which would re-
duce this Republic again to the condi-
ton of dependency Of England

salvation of the country depends on

which Mr.. Manning was member.
Flags were. hung at half-mast, and on
Sunday prayers for the family were offered
in all the churches Of the city. President
Cleveland and members of his cabinet ar.
rived at the West Shore depot at 8 g. m.
They were met by Colonel Rice, Governor
Hills private secretary, Mayor Thacher,
Mr.. Erastus Coming and Colonel e. L. judi
son, and driven in sleighs to the executive
mansion, where they had breakfast. Sec
Rotary Whitney had been detained in New
York, but was expected to arrive on the
fast train in the afternoon. Secretary Endi-
colt, who was called to Boston on private
business, was also expected later in the
day.
From nine until eleven o'clock the per-
Oonal friends of Mr. Manning were permit
ted to look upon the face Of the dead, which
looked its original self, save the impress
left by the ravages OF the struggle for life
he had undergone. The callers came from
ali stations in life. and men whose names
are historical WED with those most humble
In the last evidence of respect to tho de-
parted.
Shortly before 1880 Rev DIR. Reese
offered prayer at the house, enly members
OF the family being present The sad
lcave-taking Of the fond husband and de-
voted father had its fearful ending. The
lid was closed and the coffin was borne to
the hearse by the following s,alwart fore
men Of the mechanical depar. nent Of the
Argus aud the establishment: James j.
Wall. James McNulty, William J. Nolan.
George s. Tice, John Gray and David II.
Wade.
The funeral procession took its way down
the street to ST. Paurs Church, in the block
below. A good portion of the church was
necessarily held in reserve for the family,
palt-bearers, representatives of organize
tions and others. The Christmas ever
green's were still in their places.
After DIR. Reese had read the usua! lesson
from the first epistle OF s.. Paul to the Cor
inthians. 'Now is Christ risen from the
dead and become the first fruits of them
that slept" the anthem II Heard Voice
From Heaven" was rendered with fine ef-
feet. Prayer. by bishop Doane were fol-
lowed by more singing, and as the bishop
pronounced the words of benedictiou the
choir sang "Asleep in Jesus" The casket
was again taken to the house and then to
the cemetery, being followed by many car
riages. The bell in the city hail was tolied
during the entire time the services lasted,
and ADDED greatly to the solemnity of the
occasion.
The President and Cabinet, Governor
Fill ami State officials Were present.

the house and gave 1t to him to rub on his

and he has been well since st. Jacobs Oil cured

Messrs. OsgoOd to ascertain the condition Of

WONDERFUL CHANGES.


The Fnr-Seeing Take Advnntnge 1t Thon

The shrewd iron man oees the iron In

In his fart i9htedness sees the furnaces In

We have seen The Rrain-growing ceuters

have seen the pork packing industry hit

thence to Kansas City and Omaha Southern
cotton mills undersen New England and
American markets, and challenge the

We have seen and are seeing all this take
place before our eyes, and know that other
changes arc taking place equally as promi-
nent, and we wonder - we behold them.
Ten years ago the insurance companies re-
quired an analysis Of the fluids only when
they were taking insurance for very large
amounts. To-day NO 6rst-class company
will insure any amount unless rigid anal
ysis is had Of the fluids passed, and II any
traces Of certain disorders are apparent, the
application Is rejected. In their report they
show that the death Of sixty Of every 100
people in this country, is due either directly
or indirectly to such disorders. The
Brompton Hospital for Consumptives, Lon
don, England, reports that sixty Of every
100 victims Of consumption also have seri-
Gus disorders Of the kidneys.
Among scientists for the treatment Of
this dread malady tho question il being dis
cussed:
"Is not this disorder the real cause Of
consumption"
Ten years ago the microscope was some
thing seldom found in physicians Office;
now every physician Of standing has one
and seldom visits his patients withoutcall
ing for sample of fluids for examination.
Why is all thisi Is it possible that We Of
the present generation arc to die Of diseases
caused by kidney disordersl or shall We
master the cause by Warmers safe cure, the
only recognized specific, and thus remove
the effectsl It is established beyond .
doubt that q very large percentage OF deaths
in this country are traceable to diseased
kidneys. For years the proprietors Of
Warmers safe cure have been insisting that
there is no sound health when the kidneys
are diseased, and they enthusiastically press
their specific for this terrible disorder upon
public attention.
This means wonders!
Cannot the proprietors Of this great rem
edy, who have been warning as Of tho dan
ger, tell us how to avoid q disease that at first
is SO unimportant, and is SO fatal in its ter
minationl Arcwe to hope against hope, and
wait without our rewardl
1t was formerly thought that the kidneys
were Of very small Importance; to-day, we
believe, it is generally admitted that there
can be no such thing as sound health in any
organ if they are in the least degree de-
ranged.
