London, July 2S.-The equivocal deni-
ais from Madrid recently when inquiries
were made on the subject of the report
ed peace negotiations were seemingly
given out at the Spanish capital prior
TO Spain's formal application at Wash
lngton for peace. Many similar COM
munications intended for home con-
sumption may be expected during the
negotiations but they are only intended
to allay Castilian susceptibilites and do
not affect the real point at issue.
The liveiest satisfaction Is expressed
In all quarters and in newspapers
throughout Europe at the fact that
Spain has at last done the right thing
for the first time during the war, and
peace is looked upon as being within
measurable distance.

Prince Henry Explains Irene Affair.

Berlin, July 2S. A dispatch from
Shanghai says an official statement
from Prince Henry of Prussia, in re-

Philippine islands, has been published
in the Ost-Asiatische-L Lloyd. 1t says
the Irene went to Subig bay to take orr
some Spanish women and children who
were in distress. At Isla Grande the
German warship happened to meet
steamer belonging to the insurgents,
which left without any difficulty ar1s-
ing. On returning the Irene met, out
side Manila bay, two United States

conclusion, the statement sets forth that
the removal of the women and children
was reflected from motives Of human
ity and with a strict observance of the
rules of neutrality"

ONE OF TWO WAYS.

The bladder was created for one purpose,
namely, receptacle for the urine, and as
such it is not liable to any form of disease en-
cept by one or two ways. The first way is
from imperfect action of the kidneys. The
second way is from careless local treatment of
other diseases
Barre evening telegram. (Barre, Vt.) 1898-19??, 1898-07-28
CHIEF CAUSE,


Unhealthy urine from unhealthy kidneys is
the chief canse of bladder troubles. So the
womb, like the bladder, was created for one
purpose, and if not doctored too much is not
liable to weakness or disease, except in rare
eases: 1t is situated back of and very close to
the bladder, therefore any pain, disease or in
convenience manifested in the kidneys, Laek,
bladder or urinary passage is often, by mis-
take, attributed to female weakness or womb
trouble OF some sort. The error is easily
made and may be asaensily avoided. TO find
out correctly, set your urine aside for twenty
four hours: a sediment or settling indicates
kidney or bladder trouble. The mild and the
extraordinary effect of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Roft, the great kidney, and bladder remedy
soon realized. If you need a medicine you
should have the best. AT druggists fifty cents

Cretaceous Sea Serpents.

In the latter part of the mesozoic age
there was great inland ocean, spread
ing over large part of tho present con-
tinent The lands then above water
were covered with flora peculiar to
the times and were inhabited by some
of the animals which later distinguish
ed the cenozoic age. In the seas were
reptiles, fishes and turtles of gigantic
proportions armed for otfense or de-
eoI.je. There were also oysterlikc BIZ
valves, with enormous shells, three or
four feet in diameter the meat of which
would have fed many people.
In time this great ocean, swarming
with vigorous life, disappeared. Noun
tain ranges and plains gradually arose,
casting forth the waters and leaving tho
monsters to die and bleach in tertiary
suns. AS the waters remaining divided
into smaller tracts they gradually lost
their saline stability. The stronger mon
sters gorged on the weaker tribes until
they, too, stranded on rising sand bars
or lost vitality and persisted as the wa
tiers freshened In imagination we can
picture the strongest, boreft of their
food supply at last and floundering i'll
the shallow pools until all remaining
mired or starved. 1t would be interest
ing to know how much of tho great
cretaceous ocean forms part if any of
the vast oceans Of today.-Popular

About one month ago my child,
which is Is months old, had an attack

I gave it such remedies as are usually
given in such cases, but as nothing gave
relief, we sent for physician and it
was under his care for week. At this
time the child had been sick for about
ten days, and we were convinced that
unless it soon obtained relief it would
not live. Chamberlain's Collie, Chol

NOT ENTIRELY LOVELY

New Orleans States
When war was first declared, the peo-
pie of the South entered upon it with
even more enthusiasm than those of
the North. A love feast was declared,
an invitation to which was accepted
with most commendable alacrity by
our young men and, indeed, by many
of middle age. But factional and
sectional politics were given front
seat at the banquet, and Grosvenor
proclaimed it Republican war. That
such was the case became very soon
manifest from the actions of Mckin-
ley, who was a born tool for men of
more force of character than himself.
Instead of being sent to the front,
Southern troops we're kept in camps,
over 5000 of them at the pest-hole at
Miami, which did not posses single
requisite as a camp of instruction, but
was selected by Alger in the personal
interest of Flagler, a millionaire of
the Sugar Trust, and who had contri-
buted literally to Hanna's corruption
fund to secure the election of McKin-
ley.
In, no doubt, reluctant obedience
to the demand of the people, regard
less of section and politics, Gen. Lee
was appointed Major General, but
has since been permitted to remain in
innocuous disuetude at Jacksonville,
with the vague promise, now that the
war is virtually ended and there is no
more fighting to be done, that he will
be appointed provisional governor of
Havana, though it is scarcely probable
that the President, or his managers
rather, will SO far violate precedent as
to carry out measure first agreed
upon. How lightning CHANGED to
strike General Wheeler is one of the
unsolved problems.
It is fair to assume that the South
has one-third as many troops in the
service as the North and West COM
bined, and yet of the seventy-three
Brigadier Generals appointed only
FIVE of them are from the South. While
this unfair discrimination does not
seem to have at all cooled the ardo1
and patriotism of the people of this
section, may it not reasonably be
apprebended that tue sober second
thought will have such effect, and
that, if, unfortunately, this country
should hereafter 60 to war with some
more powerful nation than Spain, a
remembrance of this handicap may
act as could douche upon the spirits
of our young men?

Those who desire to enrich them

Those who desire to enrich them
selves by legislation flock to the
Republican party for the good and
sufficient reason that that party is
composed of those very people and
their dupes. The Republican party
would quickly dissolve and disappear
if it ceased to be the party of tariff
protection. But tariff protection
means monopoly. The protective
system is the most comprehensive
and effective system of monopoly that
ever existed.
The one object of that system is to
enrich favored classes by legislation.
In order to the accomplishment of
that object the most gigantic comb
nation is necessary. All those who
want to be enriched by legislation
must get together, personally or by
their attorneys, and bargain and
log-roll in order to get what they
want.
The party of tariff protection-the
Republican party in this country-is
the most gigantic of monopoly CON-
bines. It is the great parent combine.
1t not only begets and brings forth,
but it is itself composed of all the
smaller combines, from the sugar
trust down.
And the Democratic party to just
the extent that it makes war on the
vast tariff combine and refuses to
dicker and log-roll with protection
lists is the party whick kicks out all
the trusts and monopolies and de.
serves the confidence of the people.
just so far as it dall;es with protec.
tionism from motives of greed OF
expediency on the part Of its leaders
it forfeits the confidence of the peo'
pie, as it deserves to do.
One monopoly party is enough
There is no room for another. The
Republican party holds the field. Il
is not only the duty but the policy o
Democrats to let the Republicans
have their chosen field to themselves

The unfair treatment the South has
received at the hands of the. present
unpatriotic, incompetent and pusil-
animous Administration, brings for
chilly to our mind what Vicksburg
editor-Col. McArdle, we believe
wrote some thirty years ago. He
said substantially that: eve could
forgive tue North for defeating US,
but the North would never forgive
us for being so hard to defeat"
That's the size of it.

Secretary of War Alger says the
"South asks too much" We
sadly admit it. When war was de-
clared against Spain the South loyalty
offered the services of her brave and
patriotic sons to the government, and
her people thought that they were
entitled to equal recognition in every
respect in the prosecution of the war
that was on. That the "bloody shirt"
had been furled forever, and that we
were-as has been so often slabber-
ingly asserted of late-'a united peo-
pie" Mistaken souls who fondly
dreamed of "a Union of hearts and
hands" and equal rights to all and
special privileges to none" Alas, the
South now realizes that she is s'not
in it," except for taxation; and that
Mr.. Grosvenor inadvertently or &C.
cidently told the solid truth when he
declared ''this is Republican war"
"Poor Toms a-cold,' and we stand
corrected. "The South asks too
much!" 1t is enough for her to fur
nish brave volunteers to languish in
pest holes, while the "truly loyal" O.
North furnishes the commanding Of
ficers and fat contracts-s'the old
flag and an appropriation so to
speak.
The next Southern "damphool :"
that goes to slabbering about the
collaboration of sectional lines" ought
to be sandbagged, or sent to Flag
ler's pest hole to dig stumps until
sanity obtains the mastery in his
