Your Danger Now

Is from the overworked condition of the
liver and kidneys which are unable to
expel impurities from the blood. This
causes rheumatism. Hoods Sarsaparilla
has been wonderfully successful in curing
this disease. It neutralizes the acid in the
blood and permanently cures the aches
and pains which other medicines fail to
relieve. Hoods Sarsaparilla is the best
winter medicine because it purifes, enriches
and vitalizes the blood. It gives help just
where help is needed. 1t tones the stom.
acn, stimulates the liver. and arouses and
sustains the kidneys, Il wards off pueu.

The State Board of Education on Tues
day re-appointed County School Superin-

three years. term. The opposition which
the Republican leaders of the LoudenslageI

the methods they pursued to accomplish
his defeat, were probably never before met

nearer TO each other every night
Venus is particularly bright, and Jupi-

in March, still outshines any of the
fixed stars. On the eighteenth they

Spanish War Pensions,

1t is a mistake to sunDcse the Gov
ernment, in enlisting citizens for its
military service, agrees to pension
them in case Of disability acquired in
the line of duty. One of the funda-
mental necessities of government is
the right to call on it's citizens to risk
their lives for its preservation. with
out binding itself to make compensa
ton for death or injuries. All pensi rs
are the voluntary gift CT the govern
ment, which il can withhold without
violating any contract In most coun-
tries they are favGrs shown TO others
than disabled soldiers. There is 10 par
allel for the generosity of the Amerl-
can Republic in the treatment of is
volunteers. If this country had heen
forced by circumstances to maintain
standing army as large as those of
Europe, the present great appropria
tions for pensions would have been i'm
practicable if not impossible.
According to the experience with the
veterans of the Civil War, a very large
percentage of the nearly thr, hundred
thousand men enlisted for the war with
Spain are potential pensioners. 1t has
been the rule to issue certificates to all
applicants who could trace a disability
to exposure during military service. II
the example of these veterans should
be followed, many of these in Shaft rs
army who have been attacked by cli-
matte fevers as we'll as of the wounded
could make an apparently reasonable
claim. While a majority of our heroes
in Cuba and in the typhoid camps in
the States viii never make an appli-
cation that is not based on substantial
grounds, experience has shown that it
is well to safeguard the issue of pen
sl0ns in order to keep the roll a roll OF
honor In every body of many thou
sands Of men there are bound to be
some who are less honorable and pa
triotic than the mass, especially where
temptation is offered by interested
claim agents who often misrepresent
the facts to overcome the scruples cf

The suggestion that the Government
records should include exact informa-
tion as to the condition of every man
who is mustered out of the service is
worthy of serious attention. 1t is prac-
ticable for company officers and sur
geons to report every case that in
wolves the liability of permanent and
pensionable disability, SO that the bur
den of proof in other cases will rest on
the applicant. with a presumption
against the validity of his claim. The

A Grand ReKisxx Here

A deep impression was made at the
close of the civil war by the marching
of the armies of Grant and Sherman in
review before the President and other
officials and the representatives of the
different nations at Washington. The
soldiers looked on it as a more formal
tribute, q more apparent recognit on
of their services. when a quarter of a
million people from every part of the
country became spectators, with the
highest officials, Of the armies in
marching order The men realized
that ii was spectacle TO be remem-
bered, and that it gave to the civilian
public a better idea of the soldier life.
7 hey saw that the characteristic fea-
lures of a moving army were repre-
sented, from the foraging hummer
TO the great body of camp followers.
Not man passed through it without
feeling that he had been distinctly re-
warded in the cheers of the adnliring
throngs and the salutes of the receiv-
ing dignitaries. The people carried
away a more accurate picture of the
men who had saved the nation than
they could have had in any other way
There is even more reason now for
such a display. Whether we would or
net, America must take, and hold,
higher place among the nations of the
earth, because of her recent achieve
ments. We are d nation TO be taken
into account in future great events.
even if We should prefer the isolation
that was once possible. The military
attaches Of many foreign nations wit

ulars and volunteers at Santiago, and
the correspondents of foreign journals
described the yalOr Of our soldiers and
the skill Of our naval heroes as fully
as those Of our own press. In a day all
Europe awakened to the greatness of
America. The impression that has
been made on native and foreigner
alike can be deepened and made more
enduring by such a review Of the army
as is now proposed at the Capital
1t is so obviously the right thing
that New York, commonly slow to un-
dertake spectacular enterprises. is al
