Mr.. ELMER L. HAMLIN, of
SIDNEY, ME-, was so weak from
General Debility, after effects of

scarcely able to move. His CURE
by DANA'S was so remarkable
that many of his friends use this
Health-giving Remedy.

The SpOiIs system Does Not PAY.

From the New York Evening Post
One element In the overwhelming demo-
cratic defeat in Maine ought not to be over
locked. This Is the dissatisfaction and even
disgust in the party caused by the distribu-
ton of the spoils since Mr. Cleveland began
handing over the offices a year and half
ago. The business of apportioning the
spoils has been in the hands of a ring
known as the Plum Trust" and the
Lewiston Journal. Congressman Dingley S
newspaper, says that 1t has mo doubt that
the dispensations of the Plum Trust lost
several thousand votes for the Maine de-
mocracy." The whole patronage of the
federal government in the state was In the
hands Of the Democrats, and they were
teaten worse than ever before. and in part
because Of this patronage. 1t does seem
after a while to learn that the spoils system
does not pay"

War news from Japan and China has
been meagre and unsatisfactory. 1t seems
to have been the policy of both nations to
prevent the publication of that which was
true and to permit a misleading flow of
falsehood to escape; but as the facts are
slowly revealed IL is evident that up to
this time China is about as weak an adver-
sary as any nation ever had For some
years past we have been RECALLED with stor-
les which told of the wonderful success
that European officers were having in the
training of Chinese soldiers and sailors, and
occasionally a lugubriously- minded prophet
would arise for the purpose of notifying
everybody that some of these days China
would start out with an army Of anything
from 100000 to 100000 men and con-
Quer Just as much of the earth as IL needed.
II now seems plain that China has its
hands more than full Of Japan and will be
quite fortunate II II gets out Of the trou-
BILE without loss Of more money and perhaps
a large patch Of valuable territory. There
was time when the great hordes of I'M
disciplined heather, armed with match
locks and cross-bows and stink-pots, were
regarded as formidable foe, but that day
has gone forever. The machine-gun, the
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1894-09-17

modern field-gun with its explosive shell
and shrapnel and the breech-loading rifle
are too much for the ancient methods still
common in the Chinese idea Of warfare
THE man behind the gun" also counts for
much and the Jap seems to be the right
sort of person to operate the latest man
killing devices. Few people appear to have
been aware of the industry with which
Japan has been preparing for the strife
which the japanese government seems to
to have believed inevitable: the japanese
capacity for silence and work" is I'M
doubtedly admirable. OF course China
would have no difficulty in vanquishing Its
adversary If 1t could land upon japanese
soil phenomenally large army; 1t has men
enough for this purpose. but 1t is without
adequate means of transportation or sub
sistence; In BRIEF 1t has no quartermaster
department. To organize a sufficient staff
corps would take several years Of time and
to organize an army fit to go into the in
vasion business would require at least as
long period. The chances. therefore are
that the Japanese-the Yankees Of the
east-will be victors in the present strife.

The Close of Vacation,


Where's the tread Of restless feet,
Yesterday 80 loud?
Where's the laughter In the street,
Where's the romping crowd?
Lonely now the willows bend
Ger the swimming pool;
Gay oompanionships must end;
Johnny's back In school.
Home Is orderly once more,
Neatness rules the day.
Things that Uttered up the floor
AL are put away.
Mother often used to look
Far from calm and cool;
Said she'd bless the day that took
Johnny back to school.
But the stiffness seems to grow
Mournful very soon;
Didn't think we'd miss him SO,
Wish 'twere afternoon.
That's the way the seedlings end
With mothers, as a rule;
Wishes four o'clock would send
Johnny home from school.

To the People Of Wellington, Kans.


We have received a slip cut from
your paper stating as follows: "No
untruthlul statements and no POET
RY' about it," and claiming that the
OdOntunderfOrmula came from DR.. C.
X. Hisey Of Wellington, o.
Now we wish to make this state
ment, which is true: We never knew
any formula by the name of "Alva-
tunder' as is stated in the letter pur-
ported to be written by DR.. Cobb to
DR.. c. X. Hisey, Of Wellington, Ohio,
therefore we deny the claims set
forth. We have before heard of let
tiers being witten, setting forth that
different ones we're the OriginatOrS of
Odontunder and claiming they had
the only aneSthetic in the market.
We seldom take any notice of such
trash, written by INSCRIPTIONS men.
However, to satisfy the curiosity of
the people in regard to the matter
and to inform them so they need not
be misled, we make this statement:
That Odontunder was discovered and
originated by DR.. NJ. w. Cobb and
since that time many other aneSthet-
les have come to light, all claimed to
be equally as good as Odontunder.
We are sorry indeed that people are
so avaricious as to make statements
which are not true for the sake Of try
ing to hurt their competitors in the
practice Of dentistry.
Hoping the people will Judge for
themselves as to the merits of our an
aesthetic and will find it to their in
terest to carefully investigate, we
are, Very Respectfully,
ODONTUNDER MFG. Co.
