Spanish Army Cripples Labor.


NEW YORK, April S-A dispatch
to the Herald from Madrid says /:
An article in the impartial
charges the Spanish government
with laxity OF spirit against the
attitude OF the American congress.
1t asserts that anger still exists
which is perhaps greater than be-
fore. More than ever the effects
of the instruction are felt in the
farming districts where at the
present time it is impossible to
engage laborers. Mr.. Bsrrett, man.
ager of the Peninsula's big hold.
ings at Maco, says he found 1t al
most impossible to find men
enough to work his lands so, many
young men having gone to Cuba.
Another gentleman who manages
a large tract near Toledo says that
out of 40 hands II had recently
gone to the war. Anyone who
takes a trip through the farming
districts will be convinced beyond
doubt that the present strain on
the country is terrible and one
which Spain cannot stand withou.
serious injury for any length OF
time.

Preparation That are Just as Good" will
Seldom Stand the Test.
A recent article in the New York
Times says that: we are confronted
with the serious problem of how
to prevent keepers Of drug stores
from palming of some preparation
of their own in place Of goods that
are guaranteed to be pure and
wholesome, and which are put up
in original packages, with the
name and trade mark Of the manu-
facturer on them.
No large and profitable sale can
be obtained for any artical which
has not merit behind it. The ad-
vertiser merely makes known the
quality OF the article he has to sell,
and his profits come from the
steady demand of retail customers,
who find by experience that the
article is what it is represented
to be. He makes his goods on a
large scale, save all possible econo-
mics, and, naturally, can make the
best article. But the keen COM
petition of business brings a con-
slant pressure upon the retailer
to substitute an inferior article for
one on which there is a living
profit.
There is one aspect of the sale of
substituted goods which the public
certainly should know about.
There are many non-secret maun-
facturers of drugs in this country
who will pnt up an imitation
of a medicine, with the name and
label of the local druggist who
sells it on every package. The
druggist who buys these goods
has no guarantee that they are
pure, and, as matter Of fact, they
are frequently adulterated with
comparatively harmless drugs,
which cost, however, much less
than the real drug. The manu-
facturer would not care to sell
them under his own name as pure
because 1t would injure his reputa-
tion. If the druggist put them up
himself, he probably would not
have the skill, nor the deliberate
dishonesty, to substitute cheap
goods for dear ones; but by shift.
ing the responsibility, the fraud
on the public is lost sight Of. 1t
is not the manufacturers bust
ness; it is not the druggists bust
ness, although they are sold under
his name; profit is made all
around, and only the public is the
loser.
When you ask in a drug store
for any particular article that you
want, and are put off with the
answer that the druggist has an
other, made by himself, which is
not only better but cheaper, take
care! You can always afford to
pay few cents more for that
article which has a record Of years
OF results back of it.

The exposure to all sorts and
conditions of weather that lum-
herman is called upon to endure in
the camps often produces severe
colds, which, II not promptly
checked, result in congestion or
pneumonia. Mr.. J. o. Davenport,
ex-lnanager Of the Fort Bragg Red
wood Co., an immense institution
at Fort Bragg, CAL, says they sell
large quantities of Cham berlain's
Cough Remedy at the company's
store and that ne has himself used
this remedy for a severe cold and

medicine prevents any tendency of
a cold toward pneumonia and in
sures a prompt recovery. For sale

PUBLIC OPINION.
Thoughts Expressed by other Jour
nails.

Even Chicago is puzzled by the
fact that in his Thanksgiving pro-
clamation Gov. Altgeld, in referring
to Providence, uses the pronoun
"her." Tire Governor has found the
course OF events very discouraging
of late, and perhaps he regarded it
as SO mysterious that he was uncon-
sciously reminded of feminine ways
of doing things.
Other enemies than strikers have
to be conquered by the militiamen
now stationed at. Leadville So lofty
is the site OF the town that Winter
has already set in there. The sol
diers are camped in field covered
with snow two feet deep, while
across it sweep winds that seem to
share the hostility of the angry
miners. Officers and men all live in
tents, and are enduring hardships
that compare very we'll with those
OF real war.
A number Of Hebrew clergymen
have objected to the reference to
Christ in Cleveland's Thanksgiving
proclamation, and some say there
should be no proclamation at all. 1t
is quite certain that people would
continue to observe Thanksgiving,
as they do Christmas, without any
proclamation either from President
or Governors. But host OF pious
folks would be sorely offended by
the omission to send out the usual
announcement. The thing should
be SO worded, however, as to be ac-
ceptable TO all denominations.

The Cost of Marrying.

1t is being suggested that the cost
OF getting married in France is one
of the forces which act as check
upon marriage there. Here is a
typical marriage among well-to-do
middle-class folk which took place
quite recently in Burgundy. No
fewer than 5 sumptuous banquets
were given by the brides father-2
dinners, 2 breakfasts, and l ball
room supper, AT one of the dinners
to which 60 guests sat down, no less
than 80 bottles Of champagne were
drunk, to say nothing Of red wines
and liqueurs. The PROFESSIONS to
the maifie and the church on differ
ent days involved the hire of 60 car
riages, which fell upon the young
lady's parents. The entire ceremonial
cost them several hundred pounds
The invited friends and relations
were expected to display new and
fashionable toilet upon each separate
occasion-banquets, balls, civil, and
religious celebrations. To the
bridegroom fell all kinds of expenses
such as fees, gifts to the church and
the poor, besides presents. When
Anglomania has altered this, and a
Frenchman's wedding day means 2
or hours ceremonial only, We may
expect the marriage rate to &c
steadily up.-Me People,

NATURE DID 1T.

The Danger of an Awful Calamity at
Chippewa Falls Averted-The WateT
Receding Gradually, Having Forced a
Channel Under the Ice-The Gorge still
Remains.
CHIPPEWA FALLS, Wis, Dec 4.-The
danger is now over. The water has
receded three feet and is continuing
to run off. Many of the merchants
have commenced to return to their bus1-
ness places Others are yet wary, and
will not move until next week. Mayor
Lindley, Col. Jones, United States en-
gineer, and party. made trip down
the river to-day in a special train,
stopping at various points to examine
the condition of the gorge After the
party returned Mayor Lindley made
the following statement:
I'VE were all quite fairly convinced
that the receding of the water Is per-
nanent and that the gorge viii not
become any more menacing than it is
at present. 1t is quite evident that
the water has cut large passage be-
meath the gorge and Col Jones thinks
that the snow and ice may disappear
gradually until all danger is past We
have nature to thank for the happy
relief, and if this weather con-
tinues for week the gorge will be
rendered as helpless as it has been
threatening. Anchor ice is still com
ing down in large quantities, but it is
passing beneath the gorge and not adj
herring to it as it did yesterday. The
condition has undergone complete
change, and such sudden and satis-
factory Termination of what threat
ened to be a great disaster was Esrdly
looked for by the most sanguine."

xafers Concealed from the AuthorAties ~
Madrid, SO thRt tlke Wages Of the Dead
Nen Can Re Corrected and Aprruprl-

New YORK, Dec. 6.-The Sun this
morning prints the following:
HAVANA, Dec.
The Spaniards here say that Gen.
Weyler intends toissue decree order
ing every able-bodied man from Is
years to go to enlist in the army and
to take the field against the insur-
gents. This news has created such
excitement among Cuban families that
the number of young men who have
Joined the insurgent forces within the
past few days is greater than at any
time since the beginning of the war.
A circular has been quietly issued to,
the Cubans, which says no man Of
honor can doubt which side he must
take if placed by the tyranny OF the
Spanish government in the position OF
choosing between Spain and Cuba
libre.
FL Pueblo says: 'sGen. Weyler's duty
is to issue that decree. We ought to-
know here who is Spaniard and who
is q conspirator. Havana Is full of
SPANS enemies masQuerading under
the guise of Spaniards. Let us know
who is friend and who is enemy.
Masks off,"
The real motive of Weyler with re-
gard to this decree has not been men
toned above. 1t is q fact that the
$4,000 soldiers recently sent by Spain
are not enough to cover all the losses
of the spanish army within the past
few weeks. More than that. it is said
that high military authorities here are
concealing from Spain the knowledge
of more than half tt the army's losses
for the purpose of continuing to draw
from the treasury the wages and al
lowances of the dead men. 1t is esti-
mated that from April, 1895, TO last
November more than $40, 600, 900 have.
been stolen from the Spanish treasury
in this way. The number of soldiers
in the field is less than the central
government believes, and is not sutfi-
Gent for Weyler's plan of campaign.
Outside of Havana famine is begin
ming To spread. In Bramatas, prov
iDce of Pinar del Rio, more than 10000
persons are dying from hunger In
Gardenas poverty is so great that fami-
lies who were wealthy before the war
are now begging on the streets In
Cienfuegos, an opulent city until 1895,
the misery is also great, and here in
Havana famine is expected soon as 3
consequence of Weyler's methods of
warfare and his destruction of all the.
provisions in the country districts.
