The sixth new battleship of the
United States navy, the Oregon, has
eclipsed even the world record of her
sister ship, the Massachusetts, in her
speed trial off the Pacific coast. The
latter vessel made the remarkable
average rate Of 10000 knots an
hour ; but the preliminary dispatches
credit the Oregon with an achieve
ment of 1913 knots-more than a
full halfknot better than the crack
battleship of the Cramps. The later
official record may prove to be less !;
but at present the Oregon seems to
have won for her builders, the Union
Iron Works, San Francisco, prem
lum of $I75,ooo. The East doffs its
hat to the West!

Editor DaIa, of the New York SIN

Editor Dana, of the New York Sun,
uses the following terse language in
describing the difference between the
reformers and the so-called bosses.
"The exes and the men that don't get
the nomination are the nucleus of re-
form. They are always ready for a
reform movement which will put them
back. The superannuated, the seedy,
the incompetent, the disappointed,
the beaten; these are the politicians
that become reformers when they get
out of job. The machine is the men
who are in, and reform is the men
who are out; and that's the long and
short of it"

In combination, proportion and
process Hoods Sarsaparilla is peculiar
to itself, and unequalled in true merit.
No other medicine ever possessed so
much curative power, or reached such
enormous sales, or made such won
derful cures, as Hoods Sarsaparilla.
1t is undoubtedly the best medicine
ever made to purify, vitalize and en-
rich the blood.
That is the secret of its success.

The point is complicated by one de-

Wall street and Lombard street would

shown by the Supreme court and its
