The Costa Rican Counterfeiters.

For months the Costa Rican counter
feiters have been issuing bogus notes of
the government of the island until the
amount, it is said, has reached 81 .OOO, 900.
Inspectors of the secret service bureau
were chiefly instrumental in bringing
the m~alefactors to justice. The efficiency
of the secret service is undoubted, but it
is by no means a secret, but a patent
fact. that the service that Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters does the weak. nervous
and dyspeptic is of genuine value. There
have been from time to time counterfeits
of it, but the miniature note of hand on
the label, and the vignette of st. George
and the Dragon, are not successfully
imitable. The tonic absolutely prevents
and remedies malaria, rheumatism, liver
complaint and dyspepsia.

be. But how about herself, her own fine
and delicate physical organism? Has this
most important of all considerations been
neglected? Has she any weakness or all
ment which is going to unfit and incapaci-
tate her for happy marriage?
No woma is fit to marry who has any
unhealthy condition of the special struc-
ture most intimately concerned in wifehood
and motherhood. No modest reluctance
should prevent her seeking immediate re-
lief from such troubles. There is no need
of the notifying examinations so detesta-
Bile to sensitive minded women. Doctor
Pierce's Favorite Prescription is daily cur
ing thousands of women of these troubles
in the privacy of their homes.
The "Favorite Prescription" is the only
proprietary remedy of its kind prepared by
an educated, authorized physician. There
is hardly a case so obstinate that it will
not completely and permanently cure.
Mrs. Emma G. Glover, of Redkey, Jay Co.,

4 KNOTTY- QUESTION.

| ID OSSES McNAB, Gould and Afford not the l r only persons whose conceit has in the past led - them to imagine that they were the moving forces of the world As has already been recorded
 in The Call the three ailors of Tooley street resolved that they the people of England but even they finally discovered their mistake.
 In the case in hand Whispering Gavin McNab may be described the hy Gould and Afford as the wheel and the local Democracy as the chariot. The fable proceeds no further however These bosses making the Democratic party go" in unmis- takable fashion. Whether the "go' will result in the entire disappearance of the party at the election remains to be seen. One thing may however be counted upon with reasonable certainty. If these bosses can the Democracy on the plan they are developing a seventh wonder will be added to the world, for in history has political party capable of making itself heard at the ballot boxes calmly submitted to appointed delegations and con ventons and dictated tickets Tweed in all his glory never attempted the feat that has been planned by these three usurpng tailors
 It is quite true that nominating conventions have been appointed in this city, but with single excep ton the work of all has been spurned at the polls In the case of the exception the ticket would have been spurned but the opposition was split into rag ments and was easy Never in the history of San Francisco have the Democrats submitted to an appointed convention and the assumption that they will at the present time is species of midsummer madness peculiar the character of the Tooey street tailors. If McNab, Gould and Afford the usurping bosses of the Democratic State Committee, did not Tn their conce imagine themselves the moving force of the universe they would be appalled, at their own audacity. Their nerve is Napoeonc. Under ordi- nary conditions could not fail to admire it.
 We do not know what advice to give the rank and file of the Democracy at this juncture Unless the grip of these brigands be broken disaster is certain to follow. An open primary the only thing that will save the party How can an open primary be secured Boss McNab says there shall be no open primary. He will appoint the delegates and name the Democratic ticket himself The party is in re- volt but this will avail nothing until the election when the work of the three tailors can be spurned at the polls. The burning question is how can the Democratic voters wrest the control of their organi ration from McNab and his fellow conspirators? We confess inability to answer In other words. we give 1t up

THE RECORD OF THE NAVY.

FOR two months the nation has been at war and
 during the whole of that time the burden of the contest has been upon the navy Every part and feature of naval system has by this prolonged experience in action been put to a severe test, and the result is that in the highest degree gratify ing to the nation.
 By the long voyage successfully made by the Oregon, and by the safety with which ships of all classes have kept at among the West Indies the seaworthness and steaming capacity of the vessels have been amply demonstrated. The excellence of the constructive work of ship builders is therefore established beyond questioning and it is now certain that 1n this department of naval work we are not inferior to any power on the globe
 In seamanship and in the handling of the war craft of all kinds have also shown capacity for meeting all the emergencies of war, wind or wave with an easy mastery every difficulty It is a singular fact that since fleets took to the seas in this war the only accidents or disasters that have occurred among them have taken place in the squadron charged with the peaceful duty of guarding the coast from New York to New England Not an accident has befallen any ship at Manila or off the coast of Cuba or Porto Rico
 Even among the home squadron cruising along the shores from Maine to New Jersey the accidents have been few and slight. The Columbia was dam aged by running into merchantmen in New York Bay, the engine of the Katahdin broke down once or twice while cruising around Massachusetts Bay. and the San Francisco trying evidently to eclipse the feat of the Oregon in sailing around Cape Horn ran aground Cape Cod in her eagerness to get to her destination by quick route These are the only mishaps that have occurred so far It is evident therefore, that the engineers who handle the big fighting machines capable as the men who built them
 Of the fighting force of the navy 1t is not neces sary to speak. Every day brings additional news of their deeds of discipline, of tactical ability and of valor From the commanders who direct the great squadrons to the gunners who send the destructive shots direct upon the vital portions of the enemv,s batteries all have proven their fitness to fulfill the duties imposed upon them
 The naval work of the war is for time at 1east virtually completed The fleets of Spain have been driven from the sea. The army is now moving to the front The next phase of the war is for andsmen to perform It is right therefore at this uncture to glve praise to the men of the navy; to all of them ship constructors, engineers and enlisted seamen. as well as to the heroes whose names are blazoned in the dispatches of battle and victory

 Let the nation visit all its graves on one day, and there annually remember that we are now one and indivisible.- Florida Times Union.

AS TO A VULGAR THIEF.

N ECESSlIY for again mentioning the Examiner
 NJ IS merely the necessity for rebuking a thief. The Examiner is thief. It steals news. It steals this frequently that to forth the circum stances with some detail is simple duty undertaken in the interests of the public and of decent journalism
 Not only does 1t steal the news but so distorts it as to rob 1t of its real character making it give wrong impression It twists truth into deliberate fasehood, because falsehood suits the purpose of yellow journalism On another page the particu- lars of the Examiners latest theft appear. We say latest" with doubt, as another issue of that dsreputabe sheet is probably printed this morning
 Taking a copyrighted cablegram sent to the Herald-Call syndicate the Examiner presented 1t as its But the information given by our core spondent conditional The sender stated in the beginning that he himself did credit 1t and merely presented 1t for what 1t might be worth Yet in stealing the cablegram the Examiner eliminated the portion expressive of doubt and treated its readers to
 statement of supposed fact instead of labelling the vague and dubious allegations possibly unfounded
 Thus the Examiner not only stoIe but having stolen 1t lied with great deberaon as had marked the first crime. That should steal from the Call Herald syndicate not surprising But that it should steal and then alter the stolen news as to utterly destroy the value of it is simply another illustration of the perverted instinct which shrinks from being honest and abhors decency. The Examiner chooses to be vulgar thief and a stupid liar Impelled by desire to expose rascaity and pretense we direct attention to its shameless course; not with any hope of reforming the journalistic degenerate but that people may know 1t for what 1t is-an uncean and mendacious daily insult to the community

THE RASHNESS OF CROWDS.

| the fearful accident attending the launching \ of the British battleshp Albion at Blackwa on Tuesday another evidence was given of the fatal rashneSS of crowds and of the extraordinary risks men and women will take almost without reason 1t only there are enough of them to so encourage one another as to overcome individual common sense
 Near the scene where the big ship was to be launched lay the hulk of Japanese cruiser in pro- cess of construction. Around the cruiser there had been raised light staging for the use of the work men, It was of temporary construction and designed to hold only few men and those men who are ac- customed to move and work on such scaffoldings.
 To warn outsiders against venturing upon the staging the sign dangerous" was conspicuously dis played Moreover on the day of the launching police men were stationed at the place to prevent the people from getting the scafolding Every precaution was thus apparently taken to guard against disaster and yet in spite of all than POO persons climbed upon the ral structure. As result when the sweep ing of the great batteship into the sea caused hph wave the staging too weak to resist the double strain and gave way. A great mass of men, women and children precpitated into the water and despite all that could be done to save them upward of fifty drowned
 Under ordinary conditions probably not 2 sino1e man or woman in that il-fated crowd would have thought of venturing upon ship carpenters staqnp conspicuously marked dangerous" Assembled however, in great crowd the impulse of the mass was upon them That spirit of numbers which moves men to do in what they would never do alone led them to take the risks The warnings were dis regarded and the police were pushed aside Ii woud seem that the only way to save crowd from tbe effects of this kind of derium of the mass would he to chain each separate individual and prevent him from moving at all.

Special Cable to The Call and New York Her
 aid. Copyrighted, 1898. by James Gordon Bennett.
 MADRID, June 21-[2] Very many rumors are current in diplomatic cir cles. The one most generally accepted is also most apparently extravagant, yet it has such credence here that I forward it to you. I ma say it was a member of the German Embassy in Madrid who was my informant and who gave me the news as being ab- solutely certain. I send it with most express reserve, as it appears to me to belong entirely to the region of fancy.
 [3l According to my informant nego- tiations have been commenced between Spain, Germany and France. By an agreement with France and Spain Ger many would acquire sole proprietor ship of the Philippine Islands, in ex- change for which she would return AL sace and Lorraine to France Germany and France would intervene to restore peace between Spain and the United States and France would agree to pay the amount of the American war in- demnity in addition to the actual ex- penses of the war itself
 Al This combination is too brilliant to be strictly exact, although I am in- formed it is being seriously examined by the three interested powers This much is certain: I'll Senor Sagasta had an interview with a special envoy from the German Emperor, who was charged with the duty of making the following proposition to the Spanish Government in behalf of his Imperial Majesty:
 Germany would establish a protecto- rate over the Philippines for twenty years, thus taking the place of Spain in the archipelago. She would re-estab- fish order after having sent troops in sufficient numbers to bring the state of war in the islands to an end As a re- turn for this temporary protectorate Germany would agree to pay into the Spanish treasury the sum of 500. .000, 900 marks in gold to continue the war in Cuba.

As a return for this tempor- ary protectorate Germany would agree to pay into the Spanish treasury the sum of 500, 100000 marks in gold in order to continue the war in Cuba
 Sagasta has not yet given a reply to the German Emperor's envoy, but I re- ceived information from a sure quarter that the reply will be in the negative.
