A New Policy Needed.
From the PHILADELPHIA Times Nnd.l.

Congress has bean for the past few years
diligently providing for new navy and
just as diligently neglecting to provide
seamen 10 man the new vessels. The re-
suit Of this policy is that in order to man
the battleship Iowa and four new gun
boats that win soon be completed, the two
crack cruisers. the Columbia and Mime
apolis, must go out of commission.
Worse than all. when these two cruisers
and the Katahdin and Puritan go out of
commission. they VIII only release eighty
nine officers and LILO men to man vessels
requiring POS officers and 2.O62 men. These
figures show that congress must adopt a
better balanced policy regarding the new
navy or II will soon be a paralyzed navy.

What the end Of this tremendous
outpouring of the Accommodations OF
last winters SHOWS and the present
downpour of torrents of rain is going
to be in the lower Mississippi valley
can only be conjectured. 1t threatens
a repetition of some OF the awful ca
tastrophes that have occurred in the
valleys of India and China, where the
levee system has done it's unscientifc
work. There is nothing that human
hands can do to stem such floods as
are now threatening the life and
property of the great Missouri and
Mississippi valleys from the Dakotas

Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is ia

the tens of thousands who have used
this remedy for la grippe, we have yet
to learn of a single case having result

preventative Of that dread disease. 1t

There has been no flourish Of trum-
pets over the relations existing be-
tween the new administration at
Washington and the Spanish authori-
ties in Cuba, but it is apparent that
Weyler is not committing American
citizens to prison that they may be
murdered as Of old. 1t is gratifying to
read from day to day Of American
prisoners released from Cuban dun
geons. There is a difference between
having a real government, that stands
for itself and respects itself and de-
tends its own citizens everywhere,
and a pitiable excuse for such a gov
