The report is that the reconcentradoes are all

The report is that the reconcentradoes are all
dead In so far as the Spanish armies have
been met, and defeated, Cuba is less free to-day
than when war was declared. People in other
countries who applauded our action in war
for humanity are estranged, mortified silent.
To-day, the war is looked upon, in European
countries, as war of aggression, and, in just
ice, causeless. Sympathy and friendliness is
shifting from the United States to Spain. The
golden moment has passed, and all because of
the dilatory action of the administration, or else
its incapacity
So far as there is reliable information, the
people ale in the dark. The long and contir-
uous howl of the newspapers over Spanish
atrocities ceased when war was declared
From Admiral Dewey's action the Philippine
islands seemed to be the point of attack
The long-sufering reconcentradoes suffered
on. The Cuban insurgents bushwhacked near
the cities or hid in the mountains. The recon-
centradoes have CEASED to suffer in mercltul
DEATH and the insurgents, having sure thing
in what is to be, the newspapers turned their
attention to the reconcentradoes of Wall street.
Suffering Wall street must be relieved Suffer
ing Wall street is now relieved. large volun-
teer army is called out. Sons of great men
have appointments. Contractors have fat jobs.
Hanna is fast finding places for the men who
sought office under Mckinley, and found it not.
The war for humanity reaches out to Manila,
Porto Rico and the Canary islands. Reconcen-
tradoes are to be relieved here, there and every
where.
Just why the regular army was not rushed off
to Cuba when war was declared is one of the
secrets of the money power. Just why the
Spaniards were not attacked all along the line
with the force available, of both army and

STANCE things of the wal with Spain. 1t will
not do to say that the force was insufficient.
"Old Hickory" with small army of Kentucky
and Tennessee squirrel-hunter, in cooperation
with the Cuban insurgents, could have won all
Cuba away from Spain at the beginning Of the
war, Inless indeed, it had been the fortified
cities. Certainly, indeed base of operations
could have teen won. The Cuban insurgents
could have been armed. The reconc.ntradoes
could have been fed. All this before the rainy
set in. The Spaniards have had all OPP
portunity to fortfy that need never have been
permitted The insurgents have been weaken
ed through the loss of time and material as
sstance, and the high moral plane formerly &C.
cupied by America hes been lowered to the point
of contempt.
So far, our victories number on ~ one, when
they might have been score. Our armies
have not smeled gun powder or seen the whites
of the eyes of the cowardly Spaniards. We
have reason to be impatient. We are disap-
pointed. We are not for war only in extreme
cases, but when war must be, let il be for cause,
and let it be sharp and decisive. Pluck wins
Either do not fight, or push the fighting. Strike
TO stagger, and while the adversary reels, strike,
agsin, is the way to win. Parading, plan ling
and Dragging have no part in pluck AID en-
erSy.
War in earnest or no war; War for hum IN
ity, but no war for the acquisition Of forcing
possessions.
AS a nation we are sufficient to oursef and
ourself We desire no enemies, and if We IN ri
our business, we will have no enemies; ard
having no enemies, we need no allies. A;neric
for humanity. America for higher c;vl;za
ton! America for larger happiness for
masses, and no wars in the interests of Wal
street, be our motto!

TOO SLOW.

1t may he high treason, or less majestic to
criticise the conduct of the war, but, all the
same, as free American citizens, we offer some
thoughts on the dilatoriness of the administra'
ton.
In the outset, it was claimed that war was
declared IN the interests of humanity. I'm
doubtedy the war would have been the most
unpopular of all American wars, had it not been
that the humane people of the United States
were stirred with indignation to the depths OF
christian civilization, because of Spanish atroc-
tiles Speedy relief for the recon centiados and
free Cuba, was the prayer Of every christian
and the hope of every lover of the human fam
i.y. :;
The president was condemned for his seem
ing reluctance to enter into war with Spain.
When popular sentiment forced a declaration
of war, there was no othor desire or expectation
beyond food for starving Cubans and armed as
sistance for the Cuban insurgents. 1t was net
believed that large army would be needed, or
that any other island but the island of Cuba
would be invaded. In his proclamation, the
President is careful to claim that the war was
not to be war of aggression. The President
was careful to claim that the long-sufelng
Cubans had appealed to our humanity, and that
we extended aid because our hearts were moved
with compassion. After long months of weary
waiting, not one serious blow has been struck
in futherance of the expressed intention of the
American people

He spoke on the social aud religious status
of the world Of to-day, aud his address was a
most startling argaignment OF The world, and
even OF the church foi what he believed its
failure to regard the cardinal principles oi iighl
living.
He made incidental reference to the war with
Spain, and did not hesitate to declare that while
it had started with righteous end IN view, it
was rapidly degensratiug here at home from
war Of humanity into worldwide movement
Of commercial aggression.
There was entirely too much hypocrisy in the
church itself, he asserted. Sometimes the
hypocrisy Of using unmeaningly the words OF
hymns is simply overwhelming, he said. "We
no more begin to mean what we sing than we
begin to mean what we say.

CHIEF CAUSE.

Unhealthy urine from unhealthy
kidneys is the chief cause of bladder
troubles So the womb, like the blad-
der, was created for one purpose. and
if not dOctOred too much is not liable
to weakness or disease, except in rare
cases. 1t is situated back of and verv
near to the bladder, therefore any
pain, disease or Inconvenience mani
tested in the kidneys, back, bladder or
urinary passage is often, by mistake
attributed to female weakness OF womb
trouble of some sort. The error is
easily made and may be easily avoided.
To find out correctly, set your urine
aside for twenty four hours; a sedi-
ment or settling indicates kidney or
bladder trouble. The mild and extra

PENINSULA Horticultural Society con-
vened in the courthouse at Snow Hill.
Md. The members and other visitors
were formally welcomed by States At
torney Jones. The response was made
by First Nice-President John J. Rosa.
of Milford.
President H. E. VanDeman. Of
Parksley, Va, delivered the annualad-
dress OF the president, and in it he
urged fruit growers to take more pains
and trouble in their work; that in this
world of enlightened methods of borti-
culture good fruit could be as generally
raised as poor. Intelligent labor
would have far reaching effects in this
line and is proving apaying investment
to those who are applying the know
ledge, which is being spread broadcast
by government means and by individual
scientists.

proceedings was DR.. L. Q. Bailey, of

tural subjects.

Women and the Liquor Traffic.

In the Christian AdUocatc the state
ment is made that in the city of Phila-
delphia there are 8,O34 persons en-
gagged in the retail liquor business, and
OF that number 1896 are women.
SO far as the statistics of the cities
of New York State have been within
reach, it has been found that the pro-
portion of the women engaged in the
liquor traffic is about the same as in
Philadelphia. In l, 100 applications for
liquor licenses in Boston, 491 women
are named as copartners The list is
given three Boston newspapers, anC is
not yet complete.
Statistics show that, while the popu-
latiOn of the United States has in
creased but 20 per cent. in the last two
decades, the number of female drink
ers and drug-takers have increased 500
per cent.
In view of these facts, does not the
theory that suffrage to all women
would work for the prohibition of IL
quor selling seem fallacious?
The laws are strict enough. The
trouble is they are not enforced; and
the granting Of suffrage to women does
not mean anything, so far as their en-
forcement gees. The ballot is simply
piece of paper, valueless except for
the force that lies behind it, and that
force is the power to enforce its provis-
ions by brute strength, if it is neces-
sary.
We have been in so-called prohibi- |
tion States that prohibition does not |
prohibit. And we have also seen in
where woman suffrage has
for twenty-five years, that the
laws relating TO the sale of intoxicating
liquors are very lax, that gambling is
allowed by law, and that not single
act of legislation aimed at the better
ment of the human race has been
passed through women's influence.
Let the women enforce the laws.
This will be practical and feasible.
