CURRENT COMMENT.
The Father Of Yellow Journalism.
From the Washington Star Dem).

The late Wilbur Storey of Chicago the
father of sensational journalism in the
United States. was once asked for his def
milton of journalism. His cynical reply was
ITO raise h-ll and sell newspapers" The
disciples of Mr.. Storey are just now an ac-
tive lot and are doing very great deal
more than Spain is. indeed-to injure this
country. Attacks on the men who are Lead
ing the country's forces, and are compe-
tent to do so. are as poor employment as
an American just now can engage in.

Arthur Zimmerman, the famous bicycle
rider, is supposed to be dying at his home
an New Jersey. Some dyspeptic newspaper
writers are blaming the wheel for his con-
dition, and saying that fast riding has
burned his life out. The fact seems TO
be that Zimmerman contracted fever
while in Mexico some few weeks ago, and
it is the fever which is killing him.

Some of our ribald contemporaries are
disposed to jest because Gen. Miles has
taken one or two trunkfuls OF uniforms
Aston is accompanied in the field by a
valet and private secretary. The irrev-
crent jokers should not overlook the fact
that Admiral Dewey is regarded in some
quarters as sort Of naval dude. He puts
on fresh necktie every morning, ana
never dons a uniform unless the trousers
are carefully creased; nevertheless there
IS not a man, woman or child who speaks
The English language that Is not ready
10 shout for Admiral Dewey. There is
no telling what Yankee dude'l do.

Why should the farce of immune reg
iments be kept up? Nobody expects that
the men enlisted will be immunes Many
OF the officers that are being commission
cd in the regiments never saw yellow
fever, and many of the men who
are being enlisted We're probably never in
several hundred miles of a case of it. The
idea of looking for yellow fever immunes
in large numbers in Virginia aud West
Virginia is hardly short of ridiculous. 1t
is not necessary TO resort to false pre-
lenses to secure soldiers for the present
war.

1t is published as a fact that Col. Can
der is a teetotaler; that he never drank,
sod bartered, or gave away a drop of
liquor Of any kind in his life, and a few
days ago it was stated with equal positive
ness that he neved "cussed" It appears,
therefore, that the colonel is quite par
agon. Nevertheless there are some hard
cases who will be apt to think that he has
'qost a mighty heap O. fun"

Each of the three candidates for the
governorship Of Georgia wound up his
campaign in entire confidence that he
would be elected, according to the sew
eral reports of the concluding speeches
II is wei that the several gentlemen are
in SO happy a frame of mind. Two Of
them must be more or less disappointed
tonight, and il is better that they should
gather buttercups by the wayside until
the returns are all in.

On both sides Of the opening of the har-
Dor OF Santiago de Cuba there are i'm
mense iron and copper deposits. 1t has
been suggested that the gunners of the
American fleet have had 10 contend
against the magnetism of these ores; that
the shells they have fired have been de-
fiected by electrical influences. MIR. Ed
ison was some time ago credited with a
theory for DETECTING steel projectles with
large magnets. The Spaniards. however
have no Edison at Santiago, hence it is
not probable that the iron mines in the
neighborhood of the harbor have been
magnetized for the purpose Of nullifying
the aim Of the American gunners.

An expert has figured out that the cost
of a two-hours' fight by the combined
fleets of Sampson and Schley would cost
for ammunition alone not less than $685.

pie who would be willing for the fleets 10
burn up that much money every day for
a week if it would hasten the end of the
war

1t is intimated in the Associated Press
dispatches that the gunners in the San
tiago fortihcations are not Spanish. but
probably French and German. If that is
the case, the American sun have not a
great deal to fear. According to Fight
ing Bob Evans. the gunners there are
not able to hit "a id thing but the
ocean"

pie It Is curiousiy near a patriotic sen
tlment. They love the greenback be-
cause, In their minds, 1t had much to do
with the preservation OF the Union. An
other large section of our people made in
the past political contest for a continued
issue of gTeenback currency So that the
proposition for the retirement of the green
backs means, in their minds. to retire a
time-honored, valuable currency, and TO put
upon that currency the stigma Of danger
Gus to the stability of our currency sys-
tenn
Meet and clearly refute these two preva-
lent objections, latent in the minds Of many
of our people, to the movement for currency
reform, and, in my Judgment, substantial
and decided opposition, except along politi-
cal lines, will practically disappear. We
have in the past laid much stress upon the
practical equality of all our currency with
gold and the pledge of the government to
Keep 1t so. What we need now to do is to
plainly disclose and emphasize the dangers
ana possibilities that under our present sys-
tern we cannot or may not be able 10 GER
talniy maintain that pledge, and the conse-
quent necessity OF strengthening the hands
OF the government TO maintain that pledge
in the future.
Practically and substantially legislation
must emanate from the people, reflect their
opinions and be backed by their judgment
and approval. We need education along
these lines to assure successful change in
our financial system

THE COURTS GRAMMAR.
The StenOgrapher Tried in Vain to
Improve 1t.

1t was a mere question of grammar that
came between them. Before this distress.
ing dispute came up they were the best
of friends, but now when she passes
through the room he looks toward the win
dow to locate the draught. In the YER
nacular of the day it is the marble heart
he is getting. He is the grave, dignifed
master of one of the judiciaries in the
Marion county courthouse. She is his ste
nographer-a pretty, imperious creature
with the complexion of a peach and eyes
that sparkle like sun-kissed dew.
1t was very recently that the unfortunate
incident arose. He called her in to take
a page of dictation. 1t was in a legal mat
ter and the judge, who is a careful, studi-
Gus man, was particular about his English.
The sentence that caused the mischief he
dictated thus: None of his acts in the
premises was DONE The girl took her
writer. 1t was a pretty piece of work-not
a spot nor blur-and the judge was
pleased with it He began reading down the
page, when a vexed look passed over his
face and he reached for his pencil. This
was the sentence that annoyed him: None
of his acts in the premises were done"
The girl had written it were" where the
court had dictated was"
That is certainly incorrect" the learned
man said to himself. as he recalled a rule
of grammar. None" that is mot one I"
is used as singular" and the court ran
his pencil through the word and changed

interlneations and she quickly discovered

woman across the hall. They both decid-

WAS again substituted for was" Again
the judge ventured to correct the sentence.
Next time the sten0grapher saw the page
of manuscript she didn't change. it, but

Yale graduate were solicited. He said

stenographer was ready for tears.

fine feminine logic, lit may be right to use

queer, anyway

Many chicken roosts. on the South Side

Weibse has been looking for the thief. The

tiers joined in the chase. The negro was
captured by Harry Wallace. after a hard
run to George and Liberty streets. He gave

An Epidemic of La Grippe Caused by
This Unreasonable weather.

Much sickness has been caused by the
wet weather of the last few weeks, and
some physicians believe we will have an
epidemic of the grip, is we'll as typhoid,
lung and malarial fever. Often these fe-
vers could be prevented If persons had
some simple remedy at home to use in time.
For the benefit of our readers we will give
some of the best-known symptoms of grip
or malaria: Coated tongue. bad taste loss
of appetite, constipated or irregular bowels,
headache or some form of neuralgia, pains
in the chest, back, joints or limbs, sore
ness of the flesh, a feeling of dulness or
indifference for. work or effort, sleepiness
or drowsiness by day and undressing
sleep at night, sometimes with pale, earthly
or yellow face and skin. Where persons
have any of the above symptoms they
should take a dose of Haags Liver Pills
to remove the undigested food from the
stomach and intestines. These pills also
restore the secretions to the liver stomach
and kidneys. In connection with the liver
pills the patient should take a dose of
Haags Cold and Fever Capsules every
three hours. These capsules cure a bad
cold or the grip and prevent typhoid, ma
larial or lung fever. Some OF our best ply
sicians prescribe the above remedies, and
always get tie best results. Where bad
cough accompanies a cold Haag's Cough
Syrup should be used in connection with
the other remedies,
