The Force OF Example.

A certain eminent judge who was re-
Gently reelected, when he was asked
about the facility with which he turn
ed from one case to another, replied
that he had learned that from what he
saw at a baptism of colored people
when he was a boy. The weather was
very cold, so that to immerse the can
didates they were obliged to cut away
the Ice. 1t befell that when one of the
female converts was dipped back IN the
water, the cold made her squirm about,
and in moment she had slipped from
the preachers hands and was down
the stream under the ice. The preach
er, however, was not disconnected.
Looking up with perfect calmness at
the crowd on the bank, he said: "Breth-
rem, this sister hath departed-hand me
down another"

Is as incense unto his nostrils. He
glOries In the triumph of American

remarks: "The expenses of war are Of

War with Spain,

AS war with Spain has broken out
the officials seem to think that all
that will be needed is warships, tor
pedO boats and other instruments OF
destruction. But really what will be
needed more than anything else is =
good supply of "5 DROPS (manufac-
tured by the Swanson Rheumatic Cure
Co., 167 Dearborn street, Chicago ILL.,,
to knock out the Rheumatism which is
sure to grip our soldiers and sailors In
the miasmatic climate Of Cuba and
the surrounding islands. The truth is
that something to heal and cure is pre-
cisely what is needed right now in tho
desOlated Queen of the Antilles"
Those 100000 reconcentrados reported
dying by hundreds need provisions, but
they need good medicines fully as
much. If Miss Barton, of the Red Cross
relief work, was supplied with IS
DROPS she could save many sick
Cuban. These miraculous '.5 DROPS
conquer many Of the worst diseases,
such as Rheumatism, Neuralgia, the
e1cruciating Sciatica and the other dis
eases for which it is recommended. The
War Department should see that there
is an abundant supply Of "5 DROPS

When Faust" was In rehearsal ut

Drocken scene. The moon rises while

times 1t rose too soon; sometimes 1t
rose too late; sometimes 1t was too fast;
sometimes 1t was too slow. Occasional

AWakenlnC of the l4iauf

How is it that not single paper in
the United States that is advocating
the cause of bimetallism finds any time
to say a word in favor of ar Anglo
American compact? The answer is
dead easy" There is not single
newspaper advocating independent bi-
metallism in the United States that Is
owned In England, either in whole or
In part. There is not a single paper
advocating the gold standard in the
United States that is not also advocat-
Ing an Anglo-American alliance. There
Is not single paper advocating an un-
derstanding with England that is not
either wholly or in part owned In Eng
land. They do not represent the senti-
ment of the American people. Their
present noise, however, will serve to
awaken the American people from
their slumbers. When they awake
they will sentence to British fortresses,
as 1t were, now established among us
and teaching false doctrines.-Nation-

BANKS AND CURRENCY.

OF late the gold advocating press Is
not saying that "the banks are safer
than the Government" This may be
owing to the iact that Just now the
people are inclined to be impatient
with those who show disposition to
impugn the stability and honesty of
this government
in Philadelphia, followed within the
last week by genuine boom In bank
wrecking in the East, may have cooled
the ardOr of the Sound money reform
ers." Lemuel r. Terry. of New Bed
ford. Mass; Lewis Warner, OF North
amptOn, Mass; and f. II. Myers, Of
Carthage, n. u. have wrecked the
banks with which they were connected
and have stolen an aggregate of half a
million dollars. These men were all
highly respected members of society,""
and representatives Of what President
Mckinley calls "our best citizenship"
Will the gold advocates again take
up the unpatriOt1c, false and stupid
cry that the banks are safer than the
Government Possibly, for there Is no
other argument to advance in favor of
handing the control Of the currency
over to the banks. To admit that the
Government Is safe and honest is to
admit that there Is no excuse for TAX
Ing the power to issue currency away
from the Government. But facts prove
that, In many instances. the banks are
not safe and that bank officials are not
honest, while the converse is absolute
ly true Of the Government; hence the
gold clique argument has no weight
and will be thoroughly discounted by
the people.

Bu,ine.s Interest, and the War

When 1t Is borne in mind that all the
men likely to be engaged in the war
with Spain will not amount to 1 per
cent. Of the active working male popu-
latiOn Of the country, and that all the
money that will be expended Is less
than the capitalization Of each of sew
eral railroad companies in the United
States. the Importance Of the war, con-
sidered with respect to its effect on
trade and industry, is insignificant
There is no good reason why business

The Victims of War,

| Not all the horrors Of war are con-
fined to the battlefield. They are seen
| thousands of miles from the bullets
whistle and the cannon's roar. Even
the remOtest rural hamlet experiences
them. This fact Is brought to mind by
recent graphic recital Of Thomas
Wentworth HigginsOn. Speaking Mt q
banquet he referred thus to some OF
the scenes at home during the civil
war:
How impossible 1t is for any young
er person to conjecture how it was to
go through the streets of cities and see
extra after extra hung out from the
windows of the publishing offices and
see column after column of the names
of killed and wounded, and those kill
ed and wounded our own neighbors and
our own friends; to see as l have seen
out of that crowd a man stagger with
his hand up to his head as If a rifle ball
had gone through his forehead instead
of that of his only son; or to see some
woman fall, as it were. dead, as II the
bayonet thrust had gone through her
heart instead of her husbands.
How can any one describe these
things to any one who has not seen
them? 1t was impossible to get away
from them. Ordinarily from the perils
of a great city you can retreat into the
country, find some peaceful place
which the anguish has not reached.
Then the anguish followed you into the
most rural retreat, and you could find
no little hamlet in New England which
was free from it. l remember n wom-
an who worked at the front was re-
quired by her physician to get into the
country and utterly away from the re-
minders of the war. She went into the
country, far up into New Hampshire;
she followed up those little country
railroads which go up into lonely places
like those Western roads that dwindle
into squirrel tracks and run up tree.
Here at last she felt she could find
some respite. The train stopped at one
of those little wayside platforms. There
was no house in view. She looked out
of the window and saw a wounded sol
dier in his blanket, with ghastly face.
resting on two crutches, helped out by
the railway attendants. They helped
him out, put him on the platform. and
left him there and as the train rolled
away she saw solitary woman with
horse and wagon driving down to
the station to pick up her half-dead
soldier and carry him home. Escape?
There was no escape in New England
from that tragedy. She went back to
her hospital, glad that If she could not
get a respite from her labors she might
at least make those labors Of some

Effect Of War on Trade.

There are many instances in the his
tory of the world where war acted as
a stimulus to trade; where it has cor
rected stagnant condition of business
and has operated as the needed spur to
set things in motion. There is every
cause to believe that this will be the
influence of the conflict that is now
upon us; that it will encourage the re-

the whole commercial and Industrial
fabric the power for which the people
have been waiting.-Kansas City Star
