A Clever Trick.

It certainly looks like it, but there is
really no trick about it. Anybody can
try il who hss Lame Back and Weak
Kidneys, Malaria or nervous troubles.
We mean he can cure himself right
away by taking Electric Bitters. This
medicine tones up the whole system,
acts as a stimulant TO Liver and Kid
neys, is q blood purifier and nerve
tonic. II cures Constipation, Head
ache, Painting Spells, SIeeplessness
and Melancholy. II is purely vegeta-
ble, mild laxative, and restores the
system to its natural vigor. Try Elec-
tric Bitters and be convinced that they
are miracle worker. Every bottle
guaranteed. Only soc bottle at J. y.

The Guns of the Future.

We have become familiar with smoke
less gunpowder, in idea at least, and we
are aware that it makes not nearly so
much noise as the old-fashiOned sort.
But silent cannon, which emit only a
flash, are still a novelty not well
come one either-to soldiers. Colonel
Humbert, of the French army, has in
vented this boon, and patented it. The
experiments carried out by the HOtch-
kiss company are said to he most prom
ising. Ia some wonderful manner he
contrives that the mouth Of the gun
shall shut automatically the instant its
missile has emerged. Thus the flame
and the report are bottled up. This
also would make for the extinction of
war. II is remarked that the latest inn
provements tend to assist a defending
force rather than the assailants.
Repeating rifles and sruokeless pow
der, machine guns and balloons
strengthen those who have to repel an
attack, while they are under cover.
But if the art Of war be intuitive, what
exceptional men the great generals Of
the future must be. Without smoke or
flash, or even sound, to indicate the pO-
sition of battery which deoimates his
troops at distance to be reckoned in
miles, an ordinary mortal would be dis
tracted.
Doubtless, if this invention prove to
answer, it will be applied to small arms
also. The French are agitating now
for the abolition Of universal compul-
sorry service, upon the ground that Ger
many will never attack them. In a
few years, apparently, no nation will
dare to invade another.

From The Philadelphia Inquirer.
As the canvass PROGRESSES and the
various candidates are taking account
of stock, il is becoming apparent that
Colonel William A. Stone is forging
ahead in the race sor the Gabernatorial
nomination. The people of Pennsyl-
vania like manly fighter. and they
have love, too, for any one who is
unjustly assailed. Colonel Stone is
making friends because Of HE enemies,
and he is winning delegates because
the Republican voters have confidence
in him.
And why should they not2 His enc
mics accuse him Of being Quay can
didaie and sneer at him as one who
has never accomplished anything.
Such attacks are worse than foolish.
and the imbecil;ty of them is realized
by thinking men. No one can rise to
commanding position upon the APP
preparations Committee Of the House
Of Representatives unless he Is the
pOssessOr Of a national reputation.
Colonel Stone has done excellent work
on that highly important committee,
and his efforts in behalf Of a protective
tariff, and in the restriction Of unde-
sirabIe immigration are appreciated in
Pennsylvania He isone Of those who
believe that labor should be protected
as well as capital, and that the protee-
ton Of the manufacturer should at the
same time protect the eraploye. This
can be done only by guarding against
that influx Of cheap labor which has
made our anthracite mines repFoach
TO civilization, and which has been re-
,sponsible for so many Of tine bloody
and disastrous strikes in the coal and
coke regions
Senator Quay has emphatically de-
clared that he has no candidate for
Governor, and all who are blessed with
common sense know that this Is true.
Senator Quay Is keeping hands Off the
contest, and each candidate stands
upon his own merits. Colonel Stone
is no more the candidate Of Senator
Quay than be Is Of the Van Valkenberg-
Blankenburg combination. He is a
sturdy Republican, representative In
Congress Of national fame, a man Of
intelligence, whose interests are those
Of Pennsylvania; a statesman, leader.
and one who would honor the Execu-
tive Mansion at Harrisburg.

Il would he difficult to speak extray-
agantIy Of the victory At Manila Il Is

achievements which are conceded TO be
the brightest and most instructive In
naval history. If Commodore Dewey

the world. He had six lighting YES

hostile harbor, reported 70 be strewn
with mines and toFpedoes. He had

on his starboard bow. The situation
seemed to be as formidable as possible,
butt had no terrors for the gallant
sailor He directed a portion OF the
fieet to attack the small Spanish ves-
sess, while with two Of his ships he
tackled the bigger cruisers and the forts

courage, they were evidently ignorant
Of the purpose for which they were
there. They did not know how to
fight, or they would have been able to
do some damage to our feet before nine
Of their vessels were destroyed. The
victory promises to do good in more
than one way. 1t will put an end to
the unreasonable fears that have dis
tur5ed the minds Of some Americans.
IL will also check the sneers at our
navy by the European press. These
foreigners may conclude that some dis
eipline is maintained on our naval YES
sells. after all, and that Americans can
handle modern ships and guns with sue
cess. Last of all, it may put an end to
the swaggering nonsense Of the Span
iards, and induce them to take a sensi-
be view of the situation in which they
are placed.
Very few Americans had any doubt
concerning the success of the engage
meat, but not many guessed the real
extent Of the triumph. 1t was known
that, though the spanish fleet out
numbered ours by one-half, our ships
were the heavier, and that, eliminating
the forts on shore, this preponderance
of weight would be skilifully used by
our sailors. But there was another
conviction uppermost In the American
mind. Ii was confidently felt that the
American navy was proportionately
equal to any navy on earth. Il has am
unsullied record, made up of contests
with the great powers Of the earth,
and there was no reason TO believe that
this record would be altered in a war
with Spain. Aud it has not been, and
will not be broken. The battle Of Ma
Mia was a most brilliant victory. It
will make every true American heart
thrill with pride. Commodore Dewey
and his brave officers and sailors have
already received the thanks of the ma
tion for their splendid work, and they
are richly entitled to all that can be
given.
