Reports concerning the condition OF
Mr.. Thomas F. Bayard, who lies very ill
at the residence of his daughter at Ded-
dam, Mass, are of very unpromising ma
ture. The distinguished patients condi-
ton is represented as critical, with which
statement is coupled the intlmation that
the end may not be far off.
To the whole country, says the Balti-
more Herald, this is grievous intelligence
Mr. Bayard's conspicuous services in high
political and diplomatic positions have
won for him prominent place in the es-
TEEN of the people without distinction of
party. By his eminent intellectual at
tainments and by his practice of the civic
virtues he has done much to win recogni
ton for Americans abroad.
Descended from ancestors closely iden-
titled with important events in the history
of the United States, Mr. Bayard has well
sustained the reputation of the family
name, and has worthily borne the honors
conferred upon him by an appreciative
constituency. AS a member of Congress
and as Secretary of State he discharged
responsible duties with zeal and ability
Although his open admiration of Eng
lishmen and of things English during his
term as Ambassador to Great Britain gave
rise to some criticism, subsequent develop
ments amply justified him in the assump-
ton of an attitude calculated to win the
friendship of the Anglican people. What
seemed at first as an exhibition of unedi-
fying fiunkyism was made to appear in
the light of after events as a manifesto
ton of discerning statecraft.
The sympathies of the nation will go
out to Mr. Bayard on his bed of sickness,
and should the worst fears be realized, the
whole American public will mourn at his
bier.

MIR. SHERMAN
TELLS THE STORY

1t is among the possibilities that the
Hon. John Sherman, former Secretary of
State, may be denounced as a copper
head" and traitor if he continues to
make such cruel thrusts at the jingCes
in Congress as are attributed to him in an
interview in Sundays New York Herald.
Way back of all this contention about
inefficiency in the War Department" Mr.
Sherman is quoted as saying, 1--WE must
look for the cause of this cruel and un-
just war The entire responsibility
for the war with Spain rests upon the
shoulders of Congress. 1t was Congress
who declared war and delivered to Spain
an insulting and exasperating proclama
ton. \ = 1t was not necessary for us to
go to war with Spain. : We had
progressed to that stage that could have
arranged treaty by which Spain would
have retired peacefully from Cuba" In
this last sentence there is possibly an ex
PLANTATION of Mr.. Shermar's withdrawal
from the cabinet. The war in his opinion
was unnecessary, cruel and unjust" and
with such conviction it would have been
impossible for him to remain a member
of the cabinet. If Mr.. Sherman is not
pronounced traitor for his outspoken
utterances, those who are responsible for
the war will perhaps insinuate that the
former Secretary of State was incapable
of understanding the situation by reason
of the infirmities of age. Mr.. Sherman's
intellect may not be as acute, possibly, as
it was in the past, but there are many
men of great mental vigor who think that
war could have been averted.
In discussing the proposed investiga-
ton of the War Departments alleged
mismanagement, Mr.. Sherman suggests
that an inquiry be made by a board Of
m edical men who are not identified in any
way with the army. Apparently he has
no confidence in an investigation by a
military board or by Congress. Such an
inquiry as he suggests, conducted by
medical men who have no axes to grind
and are not afraid to locate the response
suits An investigation by Congress
would probably result in embarrassing
of all who were accused of mismanage-
ment, and as Mr.. Sherman was for many
years a power in Congress, he doubtless
knows too much about that body to have
faith in any inquiry conducted under its
auspices. Perhaps he will also be accused
of lack of patriotism in intimating that
the conduct of the War Department
should be looked into, but Mr.. Sherman
has been very clear headed and resource
full politician in his day, and he knows
that republican administration would
incur great odium by appearing to con-
done the alleged incompetency of Secre-
tary of War who happened to be very
active republican politician, and as it is
reported, generous contributor to the
campaign fund.

Beats the KlOndikc.

Mr.. A. C. Thomas, of Marysville, Tex,
has found more valuable discovery than
has yet been made in the Klondike. For
years he suffered untold agony from con-
sumption, accompanied by hemorrhages,
and was absolutely cured by DR.. Kings
New Discovery for Consumption, Coughs
and Colds. He declares that gold is of
little value in comparison with this mar
velous cure; would have it, even if it cost
hundred dollars bottle. Asthma,
Bronchitis and all throat and lung atfec-
tions are positively cured by DR.. Kings

PROSPERITY AT HAND.

The war is over and peace has come
without complications with any of the
foreign governments, says the Philadel-
phia Times The most bountiful crops of
our history are now gathered or assured.
Industrial activity has been quickencd in
every section of the country.
We have just reached the highest point
| of national credit known since the begin
ming of our civil war The gold reserve
is over $3.50, 100000 being the largest ac-
emulation of gold in the Treasury ever
| known since the reserve was established
in 1879. 1t once reached 00,OOo00o in
| 1887 but the present improvement in bust
| ness conditions and national credit may
be fully appreciated when it is stated that
the gold reserve had fallen to $4,000, DOC
| in January, '95.
With our national credit established not
| only at home but throughout the world as
equal to that of any of the great powers,
| and with an enormous balance of trade in
| our favor, our people are about to enter
upon season of prosperity that should
| be one of the most substantial and endur
| ing of the century. The hundreds OF mil
| lions we have spent in war and must con-
tinue to expend until peace shall be fully
| established have all been paid to our own
| people and never in the history of the
Republic were we so entirely independent
financially and in general business con-
ditions.
Let our business men show their appre
| citation of the advent of prosperity by
coming to the front and meeting it with
generous welcome and effort. Much can
| be done to hasten the volume of business
| by well-directed energy on the part OF our
| business men. Those who lead will gather
the richest harvests; while those who lag
in the rear and wait for prosperity to hunt
them up will find themselves untitled for
the new opportunities.
The hot spell has about run its course
During the last month it has stitled all
business energy, but business weather
must speedily come with the business sea-
son; and every channel of commerce, in
dustry and trade should be ready to wei
come and to aid in charging the tide of
prosperity that must reach all classes and
conditions. We have every quality essen
tial to the universal revival of industry
and trade, and it wants but the prompt
and aggressive CO operation of our bust
ness men to open at once season of
ouickened activities and thrift for all.

CAMPAIGN MATERIAL.

The Democratic leaders Say that they
have every reason to be graf fed at the
prospect of victory at the general election
in the State. They say that all the glory
due the Republicans for the conduct of
the war has been swallowed up by the
sufferings which the soldiers were COM
| PEELED, unnecessarily, to undergo at the
several camps, because of the mismanage-
ment of the War Department. They also
point to the failure of the government
authorities to give either of the two Mary
land regiments in the field an opportunity
to go to the front, will act in their favor
at the election. That the administration
will be placed on the defensive, rather
than the aggressive in the campaign, is
indicated, they claim. by Governor Tan
ner, of Illinois, who, in a recent interview
said he feared the published reports of
encouragement in the War Department,
if kept up, would have tendency to de-
feat the Republican ticket this fall.
while this criticism" he continued,
lis directed against Secretary Alger, the
administration must shoulder every re-
sponsibility and bear the consequences.
President Mckinley cannot charge the
| blame to incompetency in the War De-
partment, nor is he trying to do SO. He
is manfully standing by Secretary Alger.
The Democratic leaders fully appreciate
the value of the mismanagement
of the camps as campaing material.
| They also appreciate the value of war
record in a political campaign, and some
of them are disposed to consider favorab-
| ly the suggestion of Maj or Clinton L..
Riggs, of the Fifth Regiment, for the
| nomination III the Fourth district He
shares, with Colonel Cole, the distinction
of being considered the hero of the Fifth
| by it's members, because of his unselfish
| devotion to their interests. Colonel Coale
| is Republican.
Ever since the printed reports Of the
sensational utterances of the naval chap
lain, Joseph P. McIntrye, reached the
Navy Department., the officials have been
making a quiet inquiry into the accuracy
of the newspaper publications. The chap
lain, who was attached to the Oregon,
and was on board when the battle of July
was fought, was accredited with some
savage criticism of Admiral Sampson,
Captain Evans and various other of the
officers of the American fleet, insisting
that to the officers and men of the Oregon
alone belonged the victory achieved over
the Spanish squadron. He was particular
ly severe on Captain Robley D. Evans,
whom he charged with cowardice. APP
parently, the Navy Department has now
satisfied itself the chaplain really uttered
the language ascribed, for it has ordered
| his trial by court martial on charges to
the prejudice of good order and discipline
unbecoming an officer. The chaplain is
now on leave of absence in Denver.

FOR COPPER RIVER.
Country Quite Unexplored and Very
 Difficult to Travel Over.

The Alaska Miner, printed at Jun eau, Alaska, has the following to say about mining in the Copper river country:
 The crowd has commenced to rush to Copper river. If any part of this country could properly be described as a terra incognita'' it is this same Copper river.
 The Excelsior arrived in port on Thursday evening, having 262 men aboard bound for Valdes. After ar irving there they intend to cross over the glacier and reach the interior.
 Another vessel is to leave Seattle on March } for the same destination with six hundred men aboard and quite a number cannot secure passage.
 We very much desire to see the country opened up and prospectors distribute themselves over it as gen. orally as possible, but we would like the men to know something of the con ditions which prevail in the Copper river district. To land on a glacier in Alaska in the winter time does not look very promising at the best, and no definite information has ever reach ed this part Of the country which would lead one to suppose that it is possible to cross this glacier in the winter This being the case what will these prospectors do? The navigation of the Copper river is very difficult at the best. The river is almost impossible at distance of fifty miles from it's mouth. At that point a very precipi- tous canyon opens up, the mountains rising abruptly. Very few white men have succeeded in passing this bar rier. Those few adventurous men who succeeded in reaching a point about one hundred and eighty miles from the mouth of the river found them selves so handicapped by short SUD- plies that they made the best of their way to the coast.
 Gold in paying quantities has never been found in the Copper river district although quite a number of lost cabin stories have been circulated. We have heard romances of extensive mines which some Indian has discovered, and fabulous amounts of gold all ready to be carried away, if it were not for hos tile Indians, but no verifcation of these stories has reached us.
 The Copper river is a very difficult country to explore. Nothing but an Indian trail crosses Valdes glacier. and that IS obliterated most of the time. So many difficulties face the prospector in entering the country by this route that many will be discouraged before they ever have an opportunity of find ing what the character of the country is.
 There is copper there without any doubt, but from a man we'll known to us we learn that the expense of min ing would absorb it's entire value. The river is crossed by glaciers making it necessary to travel long distances to avoid the obstructions, and as to get ting in supplies that is almost an i'm possibility. We should like to see the same amount of money and energy ex. erted in southeastern Alaska which is now being expended at Copper river and the results would be the discover, of many paying mines.
