nrxoLEY,s LONG TALK.

After a silence Of several moons. Chair
man Dingiey, Of the Ways and Means
| Committee, has favored a Washington
paper with Tong talk" the substance
| OF which has been telegraphed over the
| country. We always peruse Chairman
| Dingiey's talks, whether they are short
or long. Although In politics Mr.. Dingley
and ourselves are as wide apart as the
poles. and although on economic ques-
lions we could no more mix than oil and
water, still we are one of Mr.. Dingley's
most faithful and apprecative readers.
We may not appreciate his delivcrances
Just as he would have US TO do. but none
the less we appreciate them. In a way
they afford us great recreation. For in
stance, no Chinese puzzle could be more
complicated, and therefore more interest
ing, than one OF Mr.. Dingley's tariff call
culations. And never did book of fairy
tales contain wilder flights of fancy than
we find In some OF Mr.. Dingley's imagin-
ings that Dingleylsm was intended to pro-
duce revenue. Again, could there be finer
examples OF sublimated sophistry than
Mr.. Dingleys arguments that the bill that
has immortalzed his name-in fashion
was in the interest Of the poor man?
After this statement-after our con-
fession of a weakness for perusing Ding
ley--our readers will not be surprised to
learn that we seized upon the full text
of Mr. Dingley's last Tong talk" with
avidity. But our "pleasurable anticipa-
TONS were not realized. The talk was
not UP to the Dingley standard of mysti-
hcation, intricacy of calculation, and
flight of fancy. Mr.. Dingley's very first
utterance after be had cleared his throat
was n plain statement of fact. without
cept that the information it contained
was superfluous. The statement was that
no war tax would be abolished at the ap-
preaching session of Congress.
Well, who expected that any war tax
would be abolished at the approaching
session of Congress? Moreover. who ex
poets that any war tax will be abolished
for years to come If the Republican party
Is allowed TO continue in power? The
cold truth is that If the Republican policy
of Imperialism, with its consequent mill
tarism, multiplication Of offices. and in
creased opportunities for fraud and cor
ruption is TO be contaminated, the
chances are that the burden of taxation
now resting upon the people will be added
to rather than diminished.
Yes, Mr.. Dingley's statement was super
fuous. Nevertheless, considering the
spendthrift career of the Republican party |
and the operations of the Dingley bill, it |
ought to impress more forcibly on the |
public mind than it was ever impressed |
before the knowledge that, Imperialism |
or no Imperialism. there is no hope of re-
lief from the war taxes in the near flu |
ture save through ascendency of the |
Democratic party.

aggregation could excite much popular
interest II is difficult TO understand, but
It is said the present exhibition has
shown that there are many people later
ested in the CHARACTERISTICS OF serpenss.
There is ct least one family in New
York, It Is said. which has snakes for
household pets, and there is an artist In

people. II appears, who are up In snake

Charles Emory Smith, Mr.. McKinley's
Postmaster-G General, and who we are told
did yeoman service on the stump for the
Republican party in the recent campaign,
has accorded the New York World an
interview. which that paper prints under
the caption "The Administrations Plans
Among other things Mr.. Smith said:
Permanent acquisition is, in my opin-
ion the best solution of the Philippines
problem. I always opposed a protectorate
over the Hawaiian Islands.
1.-The acquisition of Cuba is a different
proposition. Congress has given pledge
that the inhabitants of the island shall
be afforded an opportunity to establish
and maintain government of their own.
But there can be no possible compli-
cations over Cuba. 1t is in close proX-
unity to our shores, is protected by the
principle of the Monroe doctrine. and no
foreign Power would think Of interfering
with our control"
But we also gave the world our solemn
assurance that our war with Spain was
not to be a war of conquest. 1t will strike
the average reader that the administra-
ton. through Mr. Smith, strains at a
gnat and swallows n camel.

The New York Evening Post, in an arti-
Gle protesting against encumbering our
selves with any more wards, says:
"Of all the material variously desg-
mated as 'tommyrot and 'poppycock,' we
think the most nauseous and most njur-
Gus to the public health Is that about
the American people rising to the height
of whatever responsibilities they assume,
and about Duty getting hold of Destiny
and making her do her work. Since the
war of 1860 the American people have
succeeded to two at least of the most
onerous responsibilities which have ever
fallen to the lot of any nation. One is
the reform Of our currency and the other
is the elevation of the Indian and negro
races. We have hardly done a thing
about either. The currency problem is
very much where it was thirty years ago,
To the negroes we made the ridiculous
gift of the suffrage, but not another thing.
Not the slightest organized effort has been
made by the white community, as a
whole. to lift this huge negro population
out of degradation, though we know well
that their ignorance and barbarism
threaten our future"
In one thing the Post goes little too
far. The southern people have spent mil
lions of dollars I'm trying TO educate the
negro. Whether this was wise, some
thoughtful people still question. For the
rest, however, the Posts remarks show
that 1t is beginning to see the sins of its
own party in pretty broad light.

NEW YORK, September 30, 1898.


Messrs. Wells, Richardson & Co.:
Gentlemen,-I might have broken down
sooner in the campaign about Santiago if
Il had had time to realize what was the
matter with me before the Spaniards sur
rendered.
God knows broke down soon enough
as it was, and 1t was as great a surprise
to me as it was to the other boys who
knew me at home. But the Spaniards
kept us busy, when we were not busy on
our own account getting ready for the
big fight. That I was a member of the
Roosevelt Regiment 1 shall always be
proud and the fights at Las Quasimas
and at San Juan Hill will be things to talk
about for many a year
But / would not have lived TO talk
about them If had not found something
to brace my nerves up again after the
siege | had of ii at Santiago with dysen-
terry and slow fever. | got so | could
hardly shoot, and felt like | did not care
whether / did or not.
L lost 20 pounds i'm weight and a lot
more than that in spirit. if you can rnea-
sure a fellows spirit that way Half
dozen Mauser bullets could not have made
a worse mess Of me than the Cuban cli-
mate and the mud in the Santiago
trenches did. AS soon as l found | was
sick and my nerves We're all gone, l
hunted for a tonic. | found II on the way
back North, when | got some of the
Paine's celery compound | saw other men
using.
How 1t braced me up my picture will

all the bad effects OF the Cuban climate,
and braced me up until 1 am In better

called calientura in Cuba. When ! get
back to Silver City they will DO as sur
prised as / sometimes feel myself |

They went TO pieces while We were lying
out in the trenches at Santiago, lodging
bullets. | began TO feel feyerish from
the day we got 20 Sib0ney. When the
Mausers sang about our ears l noticed
that / was getting nervous.
/ found myself scarcely able 10 wax
after the battle OF San Juan.

Rough Riders taking IL.
With some OF them. as with me- u

they left this country.

Messrs. Wells. Richardson & Co:
Gentlemen,-lf anybody in the whole

to observe the general weakened condi-
ton Of the men when they started back
to the United States, as compared with
their stalwart condition when they sailed
from San Antonio on June Sth. / think 1
had
Oklahoma is generally regarded as a
healthy climate, and last May, when I
left there. / hardly knew what sickness
meant. Earlier in life, however, / had
lived in the East. and after a month in
service knew that what | needed I'm my
general rundown condition, was a nerve
tonic l knew IL my nerves were fixed ND
there would be no trouble about my gene
raj health as soon as L got away from
the army.
| also knew the position that Paine's
celery compound occupied, although / had
not had occasion TO use IL much myself
/ got few bottles OF it and began to
take it and give it to a few Of my ac-
quaintances.
1t actually seemed to build up nv
nervous constitution almost as rapidlv as
the southern climate had torn 1t down.
The same thing was true N the other
men l gave it to.
Unless l had found this tonic to re-
store my nerves l feel sure that would
have gone TO the hospital at Montauk

OF many other poor fellows whose i'm
poverished condition did not yield 20 the
