A preacher named Glover. residing in
Minnesota, has written a letter in which
he expresses the desire to lead a regiment
of Indiana boys against Spain. In his
letter the preacher says: II would do all
in my power to make the Spanish lam
guage the prevailing language of hell. :"
This jingoistic preacher is not even origi-
nal in his expression. He plaglarizes
Fighting Bob Evans of the navy, who
during the Itata excitement of several
years ago, said If he were ordered to
turn the guns of the cruiser Charleston
loose upon the Chilians, hell would smell
of garlic for six months" and later, upon
another occasion, said if the American
navy were to lombard Havana there
would be no language but Spanish spoken
in hell for six months" Such language
sounds badly at best, but better coming
from rough man-'o-war' than
from preacher of the gospel of peace and
fellowship.

A North Dakota post of the Grand Army
of the Republic has embodied in a unan-
imously adopted resolution scheme
which il no doubt thinks would inaugurate
the beginning Of the millennium. 1t is
10 the effect that the national government
shall invite all Of the survivors of the late
war; Federal and Confederate, to be its
guests in Washington for one week, be-
ginning July ], 1900 and that ON the Fourth
of July of that year the President and his
cabinet shall review the survivors on pa
rade. the old soldiers being in Federal and
Confederate uniforms as nearly like those
of war times as may be possible. 1t is
desired, Of course, that Congress shall pass
an appropriation to pay all Of the expens-
IS. There are number of reasons why
the scheme should not be adopted, but one
is enough The government ought not to
appropriate the peoples money to any
such purpose.

The efforts of Gov. Mount of Indiana 10
have the Versailles lynchers punished for
their crime seem likely TO prove of no
avail. The first attempt in that direction,
at least, has fallen fiat. One of the men
accused. and against whom the evidence
was believed TO be strongest, has been
discharged by the court of preliminary
examination. Whether the matter will be
prosecuted further remains 10 be seen.
After the discharge of the accused the At
torney General remarked, with some Bit
terness: ut is evident from all of the
testimony obtainable that the five men
broke out of Jail and hanged themselves. F"
Our Northern friends are now beginning
to see how difficult it is to suppress lynch
ing and to punish lynchers.

The Corbett Case.

The refusal OF the Senate by a majority
of 81 to admit Henry W. Corbett 70 a seat
in that body, as noted in our dispatches,
settles the question of the authority of
the Governor of a state to MI a vacancy
in the Senate which the legislature of the
state, having had the opportunity, failed
to fill: Mr.. Corbett was appointed by the
made vacant by the expiration of the
term Of Senator Mitchell. Mr.. Mitchell
term expired March 3, 1897. In the winter
of 1862 the Legislature of Oregon under
took to elect a senator to succeed Mr..
Mitchell, but failed 10 do so. The Cover
the vacancy, and so appointed Mr.. Cor
bett. The Senate said that the Governor
act was beyond his authority.
A similar case was decided in 1S93-the
Mantle case. Against the seating of Mr..
Mantle, however, there was only three ma
jority. Since the decision in that case, it
is evident, the opinion has gained ground
that 1t would be clearly against the con-
stitution as well as against good policy to
permit a Governor to fill a senatorial va
cancy where the legislature has failed to do
its duty.
While the Corbett case was under con-
sideration, it gas thought by some that
the fact that Mr.. Corbett was Gold Re-
publican would influence the decision
somewhat, but It did not. Some Silver
Democrats favored his admission while
Gold Republicans voted against him. The
case was decided on its merits.

A war between Nicaragua and Costa
Rica would probably not amount to a great
deal, If none of the other Central Ameri-
can republics became involved in the
quarrel. Nicaragua's army amounts TO
about 5000 men, and Costa Rica's to
about 5000, An effort is being made on
both sides, however. to draw the other
countries into the matter. Should this
be successful, and Honduras, with her
$1,000 men, take the side of Nicaragua, and
Guatemala. with $1,000, take the side Of
Costa Rica, as now seems probable, there
might result a bloody and long continued
conflict The trouble grows out of the
Nicaraguan contention that the President
of Costa Rica aided and abetted the recent
instruction in the former country.

BostOn's chief and greatest advantage, how

A more pitiful sight than mother and

dungeon, could not we'll be imagined.
There are thousands of mothers and their
babes who lie shackled by disease in the
dungeon of death.
Without knowing it, or having the faint
est comprehension of it, the fault lies with
the mother. Too many women enter upon
the responsibilities of wifehood and moth
erhood while suffering from weakness and
disease of the delicate and important or
gans that make wifehood and motherhood
possible. A woman who suffers in this way
cannot be a capable wife and competent
mother. Before entering upon the duties
and responsibilities of these positions, she
should see to it that her health, both gen
eral and local, is thoroughly restored. DR..
