Now Enjoying the Best OF Health,
With Digestion Perfect.
"My mother was subject to sick head
aches and indigestion for over C year.
She was unable to stand for any length
of time, and was obliged to stay in dark
room as she could not bear the light. She
had no appetite whatever and her stomach
was so weak she could not retain what
food she did eat. She also had severe
pains in her head. She suffered SO much
that she became but the shadow OF her
self. One day I happened to read tes-
timonial about Hoods Sarsaparilla. 1t
Sounded So Truthful
I persuaded her to try this medicine.
Before finishing the first bottle there was
an improvement in her condition. She no
longer threw up her food and her head
ace was not as severe. She took in all
four bottles of Hoods Sarsaparilla and
several boxes of Hoods Pills and regained
her weight. She is now enjoying the best
of health. Her digestion is good and she
can eat almost anything she wishes. She
is 42 years old and says she feels as well
as when she was IS. Hoods Sarsaparilla
mado complete cure in her case"

T,,,.,,e Machine Injunction.

Judge Lacombe, in the United States
Circuit Court for the southern district of
New York. has granted the motion for n
preliminary injunction against the Ma
tional Gramophore Company on the suit
brought against that company by the
American Graphophone Company. Judge
Lacombe delivered an opinion holding
that the gramophone infringes funda-
mental patent Of the American Graphic
phone Company. The suit involves the
right to the use of important devices
which, it is claimed, are essential to any
practical talking machine. In the afii-
davits filed with the bill of complaint
the American Graphophone Company as
serted substantially that the gramophone
was of no practical value until devices
covered by the graphophone patents Were
adopted as part of its mechanism. The
interests involved in the suit are extern

The Minister'S Wife

'One day his attention was brought to
the fact that the unsuspected coffee was
very likely the cause of his trouble, and
1t was suggested that II he would use
Postum Food Coffee and induce the good
wife to be particular to boil It long
enough to extract the delicious flavor
and the elements which go to rebuild the
broken down nerve centers, his trouble
would be gone.
This was two years and half ago, and
since that time not pound of coffee has
been purchased by the minister's family.
Morning, noon and night Postum makes
its appearance on the table, and is en-
joyed by all. With the departure of cof-
fee went the minister's bad feelings, and
with the coming of Postum, came feel
ing of exhliaration, a better appetite and
constantly increasing weight:
From the start the minister's Postum
has been properly made. because of the
warning.
AT one time during the absence of
housewife, the domestic, not being par
ticular about preparing Postum according
to directions, made it weak and insipid.
which We find is very common COM
stand that there is no way to extract the
delicious flavor from Postum except by
long boiling. Made properly, it is clear,
black and has a crisp, pungent, fascinat-
ing taste. Occasionally the minister has
| been induced 10 drink a cup of coffee at
weddings, parties, etc, but many sleep
less hours of the night are passed in con-
sequence. This is n true experience"

SUNDAY, AUGUST IS, 1898,
The Coming Vengeance

In the intense interest taken by the
people of Washington in every detail
connected with the arrival and dis
embarkation of the District troops at
Montauk, the national authorities have
an object lesson in the feeling which
pervades the entire country. Wash
ington's concern for her brave sons is
no greater than that manifested by
Ohio, Massachusetts, and Illinois for
their own boys in blue; but it has the
immeasurable advantage of being dis
played at the Capital, where the men
who, in the first instance, are respon-
sible for the horrors Of the situation
are obliged TO see and hear.
II is not so much what the War De-
partment is doing now as what it fail
ed to 90 two months ago which inter
ests the fathers, mothers, wives. and
sisters of the gallant men who went
forth to fight, and now, in pain
and suffering-ragged. fever-stricken,
starved-are coming home TO die. The
evil has been done. Who are they who
are to blame? This is the question to
which the whole American people de-
mand an answer.

Labouchere,s Mistake

Since Mr.. Carl SchurZ, after nearly
half a century in this country, is un-
able to understand the American type
of man in all respects, it is not sur
prising that Mr. Labouchere, who
spent few years in travelling about
America, should make a mistake in his
estimate of our people.
1t is his opinion that large standing
army here would soon crush out de-
mocracy at home. and in the end some
popular general would feel it his duty
to save society by making himself
such a President as the Constitution
never contemplated
Are we Frenchmen-are we South
Americans-that we should allow the
ambition of any popular idol to de-
stroy our institutions? At this very
moment the people of England are as
thoroughly democratic in sentiment as
the people of America. We are more
averse to experiments, more conserva-
tive, than they This is the judgment
of experienced reformers who have
tested the people OF both countries A
large standing army has not crushed
out the spirit of democracy in England
where it has advanced steadily in this
century until the Commons have be-
come the ruling power and the Lords
an effete institution.

Want TO BE Americans.

There is no cause to distrust the ac-
curacy of the report from Manila that
there is virtual unanimity among the
merchants of that city, the capital and
commercial metropolis of the Philip
pines, in favor of the permanent occu-
patton of the entire archipelago by the
Americans. These merchants are of
all nationalities, majority being Span
ish and natives of Spanish parentage
who have been loyal TO Spain. They
are moved entirely by considerations
involving the welfare of the islands and
themselves. They hope everything
from the reforms the Americans are
bound to institute, among other things
the employment of modern methods in
agriculture, mining, local improvements
and the like.
1t is TO be kept in mind that while
Spain has been exacting in the matter
of taxation, imposing even personal
tax, when nothing else remained on
which a revenue could be based, not
dollar of all the money drawn from the
people has ever been spent for the
benefit Of the country. Besides the
regular taxes the people have been
mercilessly bled for the enrichment of
the highly salaried officials. Then, the
farmers and miners were prohibited
from importing modern machinery,
and the masses of the inhabitants were
denied the rudiments of an education.
Ii is known that the Americans VIII
change all this, and establish an era
of prosperity that was impossible un-
der Spanish misrule. Official extorions
must cease, and the courts Of justice no
longer determine causes by the bribery
of the judges.
These merchants are the most in
telligent and the richest class in the
islands, and their wishes are entitled
TO weight. OF the sentiment of the
larger class, the laborers, who con-
stitute the greater part of Aguinaldo's
force, there is no less certainty. They
affirm their eagerness for American
government, and ii is the doubt of this
that induces them to keep under arms.
The instant it is known that the is
lands are not to be returned TO the
misrule of the oppressive and hated
Spaniards they will throw down their
guns and take the oath of allegiance
to America.
Aside from their selfish interests,
both and all classes see that the res
toration of Spanish power would be
impracticable. If ii should be attempt
ed the instruction would take on add
ed fury and the aim of Spain would
go no higher than the determination
of the native populace. American rule
would enable the Philippines to escape
an era of bloodshed and suffering more
horrible than Cuba has experienced
