The Greatest Discovery Yet.

VIM. Rapine, editor Tiskilwa,
IIIl., Chief, says: "We don't
keep house without DR.. Kings
| New Discovery for Consumption.
Coughs ara Colds. Experiment
ed with many others, but never
got the true remedy until we used
DR.. Kings New Discovery. No
other remedy can take its place in
our home, as in it we-have certain
and sure cure for Coughs, Colds,
Whooping Couhs, etc" 1t is
idle to experiment with other
remedies. even if they are urged
on YOU as Just as good as DR..
Kings New Discovery. They are
not as good, because this remedy
has n record of cures and besides
is guaranteed. 1t never fails to
satisfy. Trial bottles free at

The Spanish government has re-
eeived applications from hundreds
of Spanish citizens for permission
to fit out privateers to prey upon
American commerce IN case Of
war. But there is no news that it
is proposed to grant any OF these
applications, says the New York
World. BY the terms of article |
of the declaration Of Paris, April
is. 1856, "priyateering is and re-
mains abolished" As was pointed
out in the British house of com
mons, neither SPAN nor the Uni
ted States has become Il party to
that declaration. Our constitu-
ton gives congress the power to
grant letters Of marque and re-
prisal" article /, section $, and
the congress, by an act OF March
3, 1868, authorized the issue Of
letters of marque by the president
It is accordingly within the re-
served rights Of either government
to authorize the fitting out of pri-
vateers. But priyateering is not
in accord with the spirit of the
age. 1t IS unpleasantly difficult
to draw the line between prlya-
teer and q. pirate.

The astonishing statement Is
made by the Railway Age that
over %, 900 miles of railroads are
projected for construction in the
United States in 1898. Over half
Of this is tobe located in the South,
lines projected in Texas alone be
ing early 1.s00 miles, and in tine
Southwestern States generally,
5000 miles, with over 5000 miles
in the South-Atlantic States 1t
does not look much as though the
railroad men made a mistake in
1896 in voting in favor Of the re-
tenton of a sound financial system
especially when it is considered
that that the railroad construction
projected for 1898 is four times
as much as the average during the
past decade.

In view Of the political events
AT present taking ,lace m China, 1t
is but fair topresum e that that coun-
t,v will atno dista ut date become
more accessible to European re-
search, and that the interesting
mystery still envoloping the Jews
lono d6miciled in the center of the
Kingdom will gradually be clear
al nm says n German exchange,
Powpeople are probably aware of
/ fine fact that from time immem-
orial Jews have inhabited China,
and after the scant accounts given
Inv explorers. and more especially
Inv missionaries, the history OF
/ t6ese Chme.e Jews must be quite
I interesting, The fact that de
scendents of Jewish tribe must
Iboye existed in China At the time
of the first temple may be Inferred
/ from well known passage in the
/ Prophet Isaiah, which alludes to
IJhe tSinese' dwelling in the far
east. ii term which most of our
/ leaned men believe TO apply to
| the inhabitants of China II must
also be remarked that Chinese
work of the sixth century B. G.,
exists. in which Noah, the deluge,
| Abraham. Mofes, Joseph, his so
iouru in Egypt and bis brothers
are spoken of from; which n n
! ton il may fairly be concluo /
tat at that ancient date descend
ants Of a Jewish tribe must have
/ dwelt in China, since otherwise
! know edge of those biblical persons
and their history could not have
reached the fowery kingdom.
| There is. Furthermore, historical
proof that in 22+ B. c, num-
Der of Jews emigrated TO Chsna
! from Persia. The first positive
! knowledge. however, of the cxis-
tenco of Jewish community IN
| China appears in the report of a
missionary. Father Gonzaul, in
| 1917. who writes that he happened
| 10 make the acquaintance OF a
Chinese jew, who, having receiy-
ed an Chinese education rs ply
sieian. was able to make himself
understood. The Chinese jew
was both astonished and delighted
to meet with believer in the
zone and Only God" As he had
never heard of Christ and the
New Testament, and, therefore,
knew nothing Of a new religion
founded by him, he looked upon
the missionary and his companions
as Jews. The members of the
Jewish community differed but
little from the Chinese in their
outward VI pearance and customs;
the Chr called them Hoei-
= they called them
Tr.3-n Kiao, after their
.ca-.on 10 eat out the veins Of
the meat Of animals they used as
food Despite numerous tempta-
tions, they remained true to their
faith. In Kai-Fong- Fou, the CAPT
tai Of Northern China, they have
a synagogue, originally construct
ed in 1888, but since then trans,
formed and built after the model
of the Jewish temple in Jerusalem
containing numerous inscriptions
in Hebrew, referring partly to
the history of Adam, Abraham
and Moses, and partly taken from
the Bible, such as, Hear, Oh
Israel, the Eternal is our God
the only,one Eternal God" The
last account of these Chinese de-
scendantsis that given in 1866 by
Father P. A. Martin, director of
the Institute for Foreign Lam
gauges in Picking -Picayune.

fore night the whole command had crossed.
In the meantime we had encountered the
enemys picl<ets, and followed them up until
it became evident that a large force was at
hand Col. Dick Kawitt would have at
tackled them, but our support was not yet up.
The enemy were evidently in force behind
the railroad bank, a splendid position, by the
way, and we were facing them at about a
thousand yards distance and just in the edge
of struggling piece of woods, an open field
between us.
To our right, about the same distance
away as the railroad, was fence and hollow,
which doubtless held large force of our
antagonists.
1t appeared that if we attacked and they
were in force, we would be annihilated, but
we were not sure they were there. Col.
Rowitt said he would ride out that way and
try to draw their fire He rode out 80 or 40
rods in our front, but did not succeed in
drawing a general fire. and the trap being
very evident tbs regiment was withdrawn,
and night coming on We went into camp.
We battled the rebels every day for a

miles, then returned to Corinth, marching

Editor National Tribune: In your IS
sue of Aug. a. COmrade w. j. Uray struck
the key note when he suggested the ad-
visa bility of the Presidents calling for
100, 900 veterans of the civil war to do coast
and garrison duty, thus relieving that
number of troops. In view of the fact that
men for this purpose will be required, why
not revive the Invalid Corps, that was
used SO successfully during the closing
years OF the civil war; The age limit pre-
venting the ordinary enlistments, such
service could be performed in a first-ciass
manner by these men who desire Govern
ment service and yet are completely shut
out.

ton of Congress at the session soon to be
called Let each State be permitted to
raise her quota, and let this new army be
called either Veteran Reserve or Invalid
Corps. ! believe it would meet general
approval North and South, and provide fof
