Uncle Sam Scored,

New York, Dec. 1.-Hannas Taylor,
late American minister to Spain, pub
lishes ia the December number Of the
North Americ an Review scathing
criticism of the work of the American
peace commission. Mr.. Taylor contends
that in the n gotiations with Spain re-
specting Cuba, Porto Rico and the
Philippines, the members Of the COM
mission should haye been guided by the
precedent established by this country
in its dealings with Mexico after the
victorious issue of the Mexican war.
Then be says we refused, as Mexico lay
helpless at our feet, to take from her a
single square mile of territory by right
of conquest.
The arrangement which has been con.
cluded by the American commission,
Mr.. Taylor characteri7es as "a vast
ravishment.

Charleston, w. Va, Dec. IA bomb
was thrown into the camp Of the Demo.
Gratis today. 1t was announced by per
sons near to the Republican committee
that Chairman Dawson, who is also Sec
retary of State, Secretary White, Gov
Atkinson, who is the Candidate for the
Senate, and Adjt. Gen. Appleton, have
perfected plan whereby the Kepubll
Cans will organize the House and elect
Atkinson 60 the Senate.
To insure the success of the plan, Adjt.
Gen. Appleton, 1t is said, will have 800
members of the State militia at the
Stats House to insure that no force is
used to prevent the organization by the
kepu blicauS. Excitement is running
high here to night, and the Democratic
managers are paralyzed.
Secretary Of State Da awson is called
upon by law to make up the preliminary
roll of the House from the certificates
of election sent to him by the various
county courts. He has no judicial
powers to determine who is elected, but
follows the returns made to him. The
elections being close in many counties
the Republican managers have secured
enough defeated Republican candidates
who are willing to make contests for
party purpose to give the Republicans a
majority, if they are seated.
The statement which has caused such
CONSERVATION in Democratic ranks Is
that Secretary of State Dawson will, in
every case, where Republican serves
notice Of contest upon bis late Demo
cratic opponent, place the Republican &
name upon the temporary roll of the
House, and the House will be organized
with the Republican contestants sitting
as members.
| The Democratic managers have been
complacently counting on organizing
the House of Delegates in the Legisla.

enough votes to effect United States
Senator to succeed Senator Faulkner

Why the Second is Mustered
Out,

The secret as to what caused the mus
ter out of the Second Virginia Regi
ment seems to be out at last, says yes
terday's Richmond Dispatch.
Ever since the order was issued there
has been great deal of speculation as
to its cause. The Second was one c1
the finest regiments in the service,
Gen. Hashbrouck, Gen. Arnold ana Gen.
Lee the brigade, division, and corps
commanders. respectively, had repeat
edly spoken in the highest terms of the
regiment, and they all expressed regret
at the muster ont of the regiment The
Second was the senior Virginia regi-
ment In the service, and it was natur-
ally supposed it would be the last to be
mustered out.
1t now develops that one company of
the regiment had only SO men in it
when the muster out order was received.
This was Company K, of Staunton.
Congressman Yost was the personal
friend of many men in the company.
He had great influence at the War De
partment, and he used it to such advan-
rage that he secured discharges for the
men almost by wholesale. These dis
charges were granted without the ap-
plications going through the regular
channel, so that when they came the
officers of the company and the colonel
of the regiment had never even heard
that the men wanted to get out. 1t is
stated that as many as fifteen dischar-
ges of this character were sent to men
of Company K in one day.
So the officers of the Second think
Congressman Yost is to blame for the
muster out order, and many of the en-
listed men think he is to be thanked.
When any part of the body ism It doing
thew work that nature intended it to do,
it put the whole system out of tune
out of harmony. Sickness In one part
of the body is likely to run into all parts
of the body When children stand ii row
of bricks on end, they knock the whole
row down by upsetting one brick. Tcat
is exactly what happens to the health
when the bowels fail to perform their
proper functions. Constipation makes
trouble all along the line puts ihe liver
out of order, is bad for the kidneys
bad for the stomach. 1t holds in the
body poisonous matter, and bectuse it
cannot 60 any place else, it gets in the
blood. The blood carries it oil over the
system. That makes lassitude, bad
breath and soul taste in the mouth,
fills the stomach with gas and causes
sour stomach, heartburn and headach |
You can avoid all this, for DR.. Pierce's |
Pleasant Pellets cure constipation and
its attendant evils.
