To show how far foreign securities
have to do with the question, Wa or
no war, we quote the following dis,
patch from Washington to the st.
Louis Republic of March 3rd:
Bonds were issued by Spain on &C.
count Of the Cuban war debt, and eacn
bond states on its face that payment is
secured by a lien on the custom house
receipts and other revenue derived by
the Madrid Government from the Island
of Cuba P.obably a majority of the
securities are held in the United States.
There was a meeting of the holders of
these bonds IN this city last week. It's
SESSIONS extended over two or three
days. John j. McCook acted as a
messenger between the President and
the pen sons who attended the meeting.
There was difficulty at first in eatab.
fishing confidential relations with the
White House. Everything was finally
arranged, however, and on Friday
night two messages Of precisely similar
import were telegraphed from this city,
one going to New York and the other to
London. Each message was in these
words:
Investment is secure. This is of.
fetal.
The gentlemen who Were present at
the meeting alluded to received assur
ances from the administration taat every
step would be taken to prevent war be.
tween Spain and the United State I.
The Investment referred to in the
dispatches meant Spanish bonds. They
have improved in prices on the Paris
Bourse during the past three days.

THE PLATFORM.

The Democratic party of Arkansas at its convention III Little Rock on the 2lst inst, renewed its allegiance to the time honorcd principles of the party and declares us fol- lows:
 We endorse the national platform of the democratic party adopted at Chicago in it's national convention of 1896 and reatfirm the principles therein enuncated
 We recognize the Monroe doctrine as Il cardinal tenent of the democratic party and part of public policy of the national gov ernment and favor its strict observance.
 Regarding that the WAT now being waged by the United State. with Spain is for the purpose of maintaining the national honor and to assist m oppressed people strug- gling for liberty, we note with pride the promptness with which all sections of our common country have responded tu the call for men and means for its prosecution, and pledge the democratic party of Arkansas to an endorsement of all necessary measures .o bring it to a successful, speedy and tri- umphant conclusion.
 Believing that the resources and taxing power of the United States are sufficient to defray the expenses of the successful prosecu- tion of the war, we are opposed to the is suance of interest bearing bonds for that purpose at the present time.
 We gre in favor of the United States gov ernment building and constructing the Nica- rsgaa canal, and that it shall own. control and manage the same.
 We favor the creation of a railroad com mission to supervise and regulate the opera ton of railroads within the limits of the state. and recommend the democratic voters to sup port at the September election amendment No. 1 to the constitution.
 We favor the improvement of the public highways of the state and the adoption of amendment No. 5 to the constitution.
 Regarding with pride and satisfaction the successful development of our public school system. we pledge the democratic party to 'ts perpetual support and maintenance.

THE war is virtually over and who has been benefited thereby? Certainly not Spain, for that country has lost two of it's en- tire fleets, many merchant yes sels, millions of dollars worth ot property, thousands of men and two provinces in full and DOT tions of one or two others. The Americans have gained in every thing save in the loss of her brave and patriotic soldiers, which while not so great as was the loss of the enemy, was great enough to cause every humane man and woman i'll the land to deplore the existence of war.
 The differences between this country and Spain could have been settled without war, and if Spain's foresight had been good 1t would have been done, and the Island of Cuba would have been its only loss. But since the Span ish government was tOolhardy enough to engage with the Unit ed States in a contest, that could only have one resnlt, Spain has been driven from the Western hemisphere and badly crippled in the east. Ne hope that the lesson, though a severe one to Spain will be a useful one not only to that country, but to oth- CTS, also The United States is a peaceful country, but it knows how to fight, and when neces- sary 1t will do 1t.

5. s. z. ie the Only Remedy that Can %@aCh OD-
 stinate Cases.

It is a great mistake to expect to be cured ot real, obstinate blood diseases by remedies which are mere tonics. Blood diseases, a3 every one knows, are the most difficult ailments to cure, and even the doctors are unable to success fully treat them,
 Every doctors prescription con- tains potash and mercury and the fleet of these minerals, in nine eases out of ten, IS worse than the disease itself. More suffering IS produced by the use of these drugs in cases of Rheumatism than the disease could cause if no treatment whatever had been employed. Eve ry so-called blood remedy IS largely composed of potash and mercury; in fact, s. s. 5. (Swift's specific) is the only one that is absolutely free from all mineral ingredients.
 The most obstinate blood dis eases. whether inherited or acquir- ed, promptly yield to this great remedy, no matter what other treatment has failed. It possesses wonderful power for going down to the very roots of the trouble and forcing out every trace of the taint.
 MT. George A. Davis, of Fairfield Ark, contracted blood poison in q pe- euliar way, which developed into most desperate case He writes:
 Several years ago became poisoned by inhaling gas which was produced by cleaning brass machinery with muri- atic acid Before long sores broke out nll over my body and limbs, and found myself in most deplorable condition from blood poison. 1 was literally a mass of sores The best physicians treated me, but were unable to afford any relief whatever. l also took many blood medicines, but they did not affect my trouble in the least A friend sug-
