LONDON, Aug. 1.-The result of the
naval maneuvers just concluded has
given shock to Englishmen who inn
agine that Great Britain's naval bull
wark was impregnable. The idea of
the maneuvers was that a foreign fleet
was trying to reach Loughswilly and
stronger and faster had to prevent it.

The MokuaWeoweo out

tention to the public as
good soap attracts the eye of
the laundresS. Cleanliness
is next to Monday, and if the
day following wash day can
be made one of less aches
and pains, why not have it2
There are several makes
of pure soap and it is likely
that the last is the best.
In this country where
water IS not always plentiful
a soap that may be used in
hard or soft, fresh or salt
water is a blessing not to be
valued in dollars. Goal Oil
Johny'S' soap will do this,
and would if it had another
name.

1t is the best soap ever
used in the kitchen, in the

How to Treat a Wife.

From the Pacific Health Journal0
First, get a wife; second, be patient
You may have great trials and per-
pleXities in your business, but do not
therefore carry to your home cloudy
or contracted brow. Your wife may
have trials, which, though of less mag
nitude, may be hard for her to bear.
A kind word, tender look, will do
wonders in chasing from her brow all
clouds of gloom. To this we would add,
always keep a bottle of Chamberlain
Cough Remedy in the house. 1t is the
best, and is sure to be needed sooner
or later. Your wife will then know that
you really care for her and wish to pro-
tect her health. For sale by all drug

THE
''SuCCeSS'
is THE
PERFECT FILTER !
BECAUSE:

First-The f1ltering medium is Tri-
poll Stone which does not receive into
its pores the filth and germs it extracts
and which is always the same, no
matter how long in use.
Second-The action of the filter
downward, from an upper to lower
jar, passes the water, drop by drop,
through the air, restoring the oxygen
thereby which the water may have lost
from stagnation, confinement, or other
wise, and imparting to it freshness Of
taste, sparkle and vitality.
Third-Its action is as rapid as is
consistent with efficacy. A too rapid
filtering does not wholly remove i'm
purities.
Fourth-Every part is accessible for
cleaning, and without laborious effort.
Thorough cleanliness is the chief reQu-
isite of any good filter.
Fifth-The jars being made either of
stoneware or porcelain insures water
being kept pure and uncontaminated
after being filtered.
SiXth-Stoneware for those who de-
sire an efficient yet lOw-priced filter,
and the finest porcelain, decorated to
suit, enables the SUCCESS to accom-
mOdate itself to the wants of all in
the matter of price.
SeYenth-Its construction admits
also of its capacity being adapted to
suit the wants of all, from the indi-
vidual tourist to the largest hotel or
laundry.
Since introducing the Success Fill
ter, we have sold a large number of
them, and they give perfect satisfac-
ton.

DR.. EATON, in his notice of con-
test, could not refrain from making
a vindictive slap at the Republican
organization in this county in vent
ing his spleen for the defeat he re-
ceived. He states in. his notice, in
this regard, as follows:
"And for other and further
grounds of contest your contestor
alleges that the election machinery
Of Washington County was at the
time of the election aforesaid, in
the hands of the Republican party,
the county court being Republican,
that said party was the dominant
party in said county. '
The insinuation thus thrown out
in the above paragraph is to the
effect that the Republicans so man.
ipu!atcd the election machinery by
appointing judges Of election that
Democratic candidates, and more
especially the contestant, were pre-
vented from getting :r fair deal at
polls. This is tho charge which is
to have the most weight with the
House in deciding the contest, and
as the Democrats are the dominant
party in the House; it is intended
to awaken spirit Of prejudice and
retaliation against the contestec.
Any one who will stop for mo-
ment and review the result of the late
election in this county, can not but
admit that DR.. Eatonhas no grounds
upon which to base his assertion
Of unfairness. In tho face of a
Republican majority of SO, he only
missed election by few votes, and
furthermore, five candidates ON the
Democratic ticket were elected by
majorities ranging from 80 to 167.
If there was any domination by the
party controlling the election ma
chinery it is not evident in the re-
suit of the election.
The DR.. evidently imngincs that
the Republicans would naturally
have resort to the same means to
maintain themselves in power that
used to be so fragrant in their un-
fairness in the days Of the-old DEM
ocratic regime:

More About Roads.
Ed. JOURNAL:

Ed. JOURNAL:
Your editorial in last weeks is
sue in regard to public roads, was
timely and well-stated. That
something should be done to i'm
prove our roads, no one will deny,
but it is useless to think of making
good roads in this county until
many Of them are rclocated-the
location changed. Many of the
public roads in this county as now
located, run over the most hifly
portion of the country and usually
seek the steepese and highest part
of those hills. For illustration
take the road leading from Potosi
to Fourche a Renault, running al
most in an airline over the highest
parts of the hills in that direction.
Now by relocating that road short
distance to the right of its present
location, much easier grade could
be had and a good road built. AS
it is, it never can be made good.

pication, has the power to order

A PROTECTIVE tariff on agricul-
tural.products is now being advo-
Gated by tie farmers of the country.
Lnmbermen want protection ON
lumber, the coal miner on coal, the
iron manufacturer on iron, and so
on all the way down the scale.
Each wants his particular industry
guarded by protective tariff, but
his zeal only extends far enough to
cover his individual interests. The
protective tariff policy Of the Re-
publican party is intended, how
ever, to cover every American
industry where it is brought in
competition with the foreign pro-
ducer. The benefits of the protec-
tive tariff were never intended for
the individual Or any particular
class solely, but to ramify the
whole industrial structure of the
country. Upon such lines is the
tariff for protection built. We
believe that when McKinley's ad-
ministration goes into effect, its
tariff bills will be outlined upon
a plan where the individual industry
or particular section of country
will be lost sight of for the great
est good to the entire country.

ton, but it was decidedly the re-
verse when the Democrats under
took to tinker a little at the tariff.
The opposition knows that the
present tariff law is not an efficient
one and they would be- willing
enough to amends it if they were
only in a position. to win the credit.
As it is, they will oppose all legis-
lation on a line that will revive the
industries of the country, and
which would add to the prestige OF
the Republican party.

ballots look very inelegant. They
were straight for Mckinley, but he
would have hesitated to own it. To
be Republican means more than
allegiance to the national ticket. 1t
means loyalty to state, county
and township tickets as well. A con-
sistent and thorough Republican is
loyal to his ticket everywhere; if not
he becomes an indefinable mixture of
political opinion.
The scratching element voluntarily
gave away five Of the best county
offices. Much of this may have been,
due to- trading, but great deal of it

applied in the future. Let US stand
