A STINGING RETORT.

The New York Times has been TAX
ing the scholar and writer, historian
and essayist, James Bryce, over it's
journalistic knee and administering to
his intelligence something in the nature
Of a spanking. Professor Bryce has ex-
pressed himself in a way to lead to the
conclusion that he entertains a fear
that this war, be it short or long, is go
ing to work dangerous changes in the
character of the American people; that
it will tend to make us aggressive, and
wish to build a larger navy and
strengthen the army, and then to use
both in a ''meddlesome and aggressive
way" Whereupon the Times" takes
the accomplished essayist to task We
submit that for caustic and biting re-
turn in duel of wits there has not
been the equal of this reply in many a
year. The Times" says:
1t will change our habits, we admit.
We shall keep a larger navy and a
larger army. We have been very heed
less in not doing that before. But will
our adventure with Spain make US
keen to find occasion to use our army
and navy? VIII it make us meddle-
some and aggressive? Shall we turn
from our ways of peace, industrious
money getting and cOntentment to be-
come a nation of restless ambition?
There is not the remotest chance of
such a transformation in the character
Of our people. 1t is an idea born of dys-
peptic foreboding, a dominating Chi
mera of pessimistic speculation.
Is it reasonable to suppose that in ex-
ercising upon this miserable Spaniard a
part of the qualities implanted in us by
ages of inheritance and two centuries of
environment we shall part with the
rest? Does a man of peaceful life be-
come a staggering bully as a conse-
quence Of thrashing a wayside loafer
who has annoyed him? Does a muscu-
lar Christian become an habitual brawl-
er because he pauses for a moment to
thump a dirty old villain for abusing
his children?
The delusion that this world has now
come upon a time when all is to be
sweetness and light, when the posses
sions of the weak are no longer to be
subject to the Tapacity Of the strong,
when Spain and Turkey are to be as
free from guile as Brooklyn, and the
imperial masters of Russia and Ger
many are about to enter a Trappist
monastery, leaving their happy peoples
to govern themselves, when, therefore,
navies are no longer necessary and
coast defenses are to be replaced by a
smiling face, has spread among us as it
has in some other lands, but it is one
that we are rid of quickly. Our simple
trust, however, has put US in the way
of getting abused. 1t is undeniable that
we are looked on by a great part of
abroad" as a people who will stand
anything so long as we are allowed to
60 on making money.

NO WOMAN is EXEMPT.

Regularity is matter of importance
in every woman's life. Much pain is,
however, endured in the belief that it
is necessary and not alarming, when
in truth it is all wrong and indicates
arrangement that may cause serious
trouble.
Excessive monthly pain itself will
unsettle the nerves and make women
old before their time.
The foundation of woman's health is
a perfectly normal and regular per-
formance of natures function. The
statement we print from Miss GER
TRUDE SKIES, of Eldred, Pa, is echoed
in every city, town and hamlet in this
country. Read what she says:
DEAR MRS. P1NKHAM:-I feel like
new person since following your ad-
vice, and think it is my duty to let the
public know the good your remedies
have done me. My troubles were pain
full menstruation and leucorrhea. L
was nervous and had spells of being
confused. Before using your remedies
never had any faith in patent medi-
cines. now wish to say that never
had anything do me so much good for
painful menstruation as Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound; also would
say that your Sanative Wash has cured
me of 1eucorrhea. / hope these few
words may help suffering women"
The present Mrs. Pinkham's expert
euce in treating female ills is unparal-
leled, for years she worked side by
side with Mrs. Lydia E. Pinkham, and
for sometime past has had sole charge
of the correspondence department Of
her great business, treating by letter
as many as a hundred thousand ailing
women during single year.
All suffering women are invited to
write freely to Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn,
Mass, for advice about their health.

element of dissension, almost of trea-
son. at work among the loyal ele-
ments The American Tories of revo-
lutionary times had their counterpart
in the Copperheads of the Civil War
Iperiod Passions run high, and cant,
falsehood and hypocrisy were over
whelmed by the true and undisguised
impulses that moved the great heart
'of the nation and dictated all the pro-
cesses of thought. Dishonest. under
handed and indirect methods became
dishonored through the. contrast af-
forded by the manifestations of truth,
honor and open impulse. The devious
ways of the politician were at a dis
count The heroes of the day even in
civil life were the men who blurted out
their sentiments without reserve, how
ever inelegantly. Zack Chandler and
Ben Wade, with their rough candor,
were the ideals of the period, Ihe
country had scaled off its veneering of
Indifference and deceit, and public SEN
timent left barred, sensitive to the
slightest impression.
We cannot believe that the present
war will continue long enough to so
thoroughly cradle the elements of truth
out of the dross imposition. But as an
elixir to ~unselfish, spontaneous patrl-
otism it is becoming or has become the
most valuable of any of our wars.
RETALIATORY.
Los Angeles Herald: The irritation
caused by the exactions of the Dingley
tariff law is doubtless largely respon-
sible for the unfriendly spirit manifest
ed in various foreign countries, nota-
bly, in Germany and Argentine, where
retaliatory legislation was being strong
ly urged upon the Governments just
prior to the breaking out of hostilities.

A singular result of prohibition in a
foreign country is now attracting much
attention. Norway was cursed for
many years by too much indulgence
by the people in spirituous liquors. To
remedy the evil the celebrated Gothen-
berg system was introduced, which reg
ulated and purified the saloons, greatly
reduced drunkenness and generally re-
suited in much good. Eighteen towns
however. thought to do still better, and
voted to prohibit liquor use and man
ufacture altogether. The result is that
drunkenness is more prevalent in those
towns than ever known in that coun-
try before 1t is of a worse character,
too, because the people consume enor-
nous quantities of a very strong wine
and they set up illicit stills and make
villainous liquors, and besides they
drink raw spirits to an extent that is
more than deplorable Even children are
becoming drunkards, and the latter
condition of the prohibition towns is
infinitely worse than any that preced-
ed it. This experiment may serve a
useful purpose as a study among those
who seek to control and regulate the
liquor traffic.

WAR AND PROSPERITY.

It is urged by one of our interior
contemporaries that the war will Gre
ate great industrial prosperity. Yes,
in a partial sense, that is true. 1t
would have been more accurate to have
said that it will stimulate industrial
activity. The places of the men gone
into war will be filled by those hereto
fore out of work, in largest part; the
outfitting of the troops will demand
certain supplies in large quantities, and
the payment for these supplies will put
into circulation some extra millions.
But let it not be forgotten that for all
such activity, misnamed prosperity,
there must come the day of payment
This will be encountered in the form of
augmented cost of several necess aries
of life. 1t is true that among the bet
ter conditioned of our people that
may be Offset by retrenchment in lux
ury supplies, but for the poor there is
no such possibility. Other forms of the
taxation will be felt by direct and in
direct levies. Whatever apparent pros
perity there is because of warlike con-
ditions must inevitably be paid for with
heavy interest. That is an undisputed
economic truth, verified and established
by all history We went into the war
with this knowledge fully before our
eyes. and there is not now, and should
not be, any complaining. Nor do we
believe there will be from the great
body of the people. They have counted
the cost, believe that the end in view
justifies the step taken, and that Amer
lea will have the approval Of history
and the commendation of mankind for
her action.
