with a large share of II. The Star pre-
dicted such a result at the time. And
the difficulty now is that these mischievous
yarns will never be overtaken. They not
only have the start of the truth. but Sena-
tors. hampered by the obligations of the
secret debate. are not in position specif-
cally to denounce them
But all the same they are nothing but
yarns The silver question does not divide
sentiment in the Senate on the subject CT
the treaty. There Is no more earnest ad-
vocate of the treaty than Mr.. Turpie. He
would have the Senate ratify 1t at once,
ard precisely as negotiated by Mr.. Olney.
The amendment he has offered is merely
for the purpose of meeting some objections
to which he himself does not subscribe
And yet there IS TO more earnest advocate
of the free coinage of silver at 16 to l as
an independent act by this government
than the Indiana Senator. He supported
Mr.. Bryan for President with all the zeal
of his nature.
Mr.. Morgan. free silver man, is opposed
to the treaty in It's present form, and is
urging amendments. But there is not
the slightest evidence that the silver cues
tion is influencing him. He fears that
unless care is taken the Nicaragua canal
may be brought within the scope of the
treaty. and as champion Of that measure
he wants it excepted in express terms.
Instead of the money question being used
to defeat the treaty, is there not ground
for the suspicion from these yarns that
in some quarters the treaty is being used
10 the prejudice of the money question ?
MI Nolcotts mission abroad. although
self-imposed and without official indorse-
mt tc
in this country many sincere friends of
sound money who hope 1t may be crowned
with success. The Colorado Senator is
himself. in fact. on an errand Of arbitra-
tion. He wants the money question arbi-
trated. He wants tribunal appointed
before which the whole case up to date
may be argued. There Is widespread dis
tress. All the commercial nations are
feeling it. Opinion is divided as to the
cause and the remedy. Silver as money of
redemption has been put under the ban in
the leading countries. and many men Of
emnence think it would be a wise step
to remove that ban. The question is m-
doLbtedly worthy of discussion, and the
object of Mr.. Wolcott abroad is to try to
arrange for such discussion. And yet
while he is busy with that end In view, and
carrying himself. all accounts show
with moderation and discretion, here come
a few fakirs and endeavor to persuade the
people of Great Britain whose decision
In the matter of an international confer
eHce will be of the greatest Importance,
that the opposition to the Olney treaty in
the Senate springs solely from the advo-
Gates OF free silver. who adopt that means
of showing their dislike of a gold standard
country.
If the arbitration treaty goes over to
the extra session. another effort, 1t Is to be
hoped. will be made to open the doors of
the Senate and invite the public to the de-
bate. No other step that could be taken
would serve SO well to develop the whole
case, and so silence all calumny.

Murky Water and Its Remedy.

Assuming that the Senate will insert in
the District bill the proposed amendment
providing for an increased water supply
and that the House will accept it. the
rights and needs of the situation all point
ing to such result. II might profit to go
forward a few months and consider the
suggestion of Senator Mcmillan that the
Potomac water should be subjected to a
filtration process and that he intends to
turn his attention another year to such a
project. Just the water supply is
most unattractiye to the eye and to the
ralate. 1t appeals strongly. as WELL to the
Imagination. ard its brownish hue brings
up visions of wriggling bacteria and linger-
ing diseases. Medical opinion is not unan-
imous concerning the harmlessness of the
turbidity OF the water there being author

course Of absolute safety and of unbounded

Make the Most Of Yourself

1t is the duty of every man to
make the most of himself. What
ever his capacities may be, he is
sure to find some place where he
can be useful to himself and to
others. But he cannot reach his
highest usefulness without good
health and he cannot have good
health without pure blood. The
blood circulates to every organ
and tissue and when it is pure,
rich and healthy it carries health
to the entire system, but if it is
impure it scatters disease where
ever it flows. Hoods Sasaparilla
is the one true blood purifier. 1t
cures salt rheum, scrOfula, Ca
tarrh, dyspepsia and rhematism
because these diseases have their
origin in the blood.
