A Veil of Mist

of malaria. Where malarial fever prevail
no one is safe, unless protected by some ef-
fcient medicinal safeguard. Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters is both a protection and .
remedy. No person who inhabits, or So
journs in a miasmatic region or country,
should omit to procure this fo%rtifying agent,

unsatisfactory, for nearly $50, 900 was

Come with me this evening and see
my boys" The speaker was a leading
business man of New York city. The
friend went and found that the boys
were in the Children's Aid Society
rooms. The banker who had given the
invitation took charge of the meeting,
read the Bible, prayed and talked to
these city waits. "How long have you
been doing this thing without my evey
having suspected it," asked the friend.
Sixteen years." was the reply. Every
other Sunday night in all those years
the rich banker had gone to meet his
boys and to tell them of God and duty.
That banker was Howard Potter, who
has just died i'm London, where he was
head of the London branch of a house
known the world over.
The question of the right of an in

outcome that would please the great
est number Of citizens would be an
equitable balancing of the injury done
en- each side. Probably the assault
with a brick was a greater injury than
the assault with offensive sounds, but
there was ~undeniable provocation.

ANOTHER BRITISH VICTORY

Thrce Thousand Tribesmen Put to
Flight by General Blood's Troops.
Simla, Aug. 1s.-A reconnaissance in
the Swat valley discovered the enemy
to be entrenched in the hills between
Jalala and Landaki, confirming the re-
ports of the gathering in force of the
Upper Swats Bonerawals and Handu-
stint fanatics. General Blood, the Brit
ish commander, brought his field guns
into action against the stone entrench-
ments of the enemy, demolishing these
works, whereupon the insurgent tribe
men fed.
At least 5000 trlbesmen were en-
gagged. The batteries prevented them
rsking a fight at close quarters, but
about 1000 held on for some time. Then
as the infantry attack developed they
fled and when the other 1000 saw their
line of retreat threatened they moved
rapidly away.
Lieutenant Greaves, of the Ian
cashire fusiliers, and Lieutenant Mac
Lean, adjutant of guides, were killed,
and Captain Palmer was seriously in
jured. Lieutenant MacLean met his
death while trying to carry away the
body of Lieutenant Greaves.
General Blood directed the center OF
the attack, Colonel Meiklejohn ocCu-
pying the heights to the right of the
enemys tom. The Swatis were
stroI autrenched, and maintained a
stealy lire, but the British column
carried the cntrenchment with great
dash, and the enemy fed. 1t is be-
lieved that General Blood will order
a further advance.
There is no longer any doubt that
the Afrldas are deeply involved in the
rebellion which is as vet in no wise
suppressed. Such is the condition OF
things now that the slightest check
to British arms would be the signal fol
a EeneraI revolt.

Snain,s Failure.

Grave troubles of various kinds are
closing in upon the government at
Madrid, without counting the horror
of an assassination, which interrupts
history though forming no legitimate
part of it, says the st. Louis Globe
Democrat. What has been found
fatally defective in Spain is the gen
eral political policy, especially in
colonial affairs. 1t is true that the
condition of the country itself is far
from prosperous or hopeful, but it
could manage to get along for time
in the old ruts The pressing crisis is
found in the main colonies, Cuba and
the Philippines. While it has been
frequently announced that the re
volts there were nearly stamped out
the signs are that they were never
more serious than at the present time.
Spain's credit has nearly collapsed,
its armies are unpaid, the colonies are
a burden instead of a source of
revenue, and it seems scarcely possible
that the country can escape a convul-
sion of some kind within the next
few months.
Spain's course has been to drift
along, stubborn and implacable, hop
ing that it might be able to crush the
rebellious colonies and to make them
again a source Of wealth on the old
basis. There seems to be no one
among the ruling spirits at Madrid
who has studied the history Of the
last hundred years with any insight.
An American colony can not be
governed despotically from Europe
England discovered that in the last
century, and such colonies as she re-
tains in the New World are held by
extreme mildness and a spirit of help
fui concession. In her own vast
colonial losses in America, Spain
should have read the impossibility Of
using a colony merely to enrich her
self. But in spirit Of naughty pride
she has persevered in the attempt
though it has steadily sapped her
strength. The end is certain to come,
ana Llle Ollly hOubt AelHAt0 " Iit
shape it will take.
1t has been assumed throughout
Spain that a repellant attitude to-
ward this country is a necessity of
the situation. No greater mistake
could have been made. Above all
other countries the United States is
the one whose friendly Offices should
have been cultivated, for it is in a
position to ascertain the demands of
the insurgents, and to assist in ar
ranging negotiations for home rule, if
that could be made acceptable.
The best course now for Spain to
pursue would be to regard this coun-
try as reasonably friendly to all con
cerned, and to accept its aid in reach
ing an understanding with Cuba. A
first step would be to dismiss the
idea that the old order of things in
the island can ever be restored
That is out OF the question. There
can be no issue of the war except
genuine home rule or independence
Ifevery insurgent on the island was
slaughtered fresh generation would
rise in rebellion for the same reasons.
