Spain Still Holds Havana.

No doubt it is highly important that
force be sent to take Porto Rica.
Possession OF the island would be a
strong card in our hands when it comes
to negotiating peace terms. But Ha-
vana is, after all, the real objective
point of the wars operations, and it
would seem that longer delay in laying
siege to the city must necessarily
weaken our cause. War was declared
for the one purpose of ridding Cuba of
Spanish rule, but we have been avoid
ing the real work in hand from the be-
ginning. Havana is Spain in Cuba,
and until Havana falls the island will
belong to Spain by right of possession
for 400 years. True, we have captured
a small territory, IN eastern Cuba, but
that does not materially change the
original situation. Spanish authority
is still supreme in the capital, which
is also the one great commercial and
financial center.
1t is said the Washington Govern
ment has concluded to make no fur
ther effort to do that for which it de-
clared war until October, because of
the danger from yellow feYer. But
that is hardly a valid excuse. The
army surgeons at Santiago have shown
their ability to keep the contagion
within bounds. The fear. therefore,
of an epidemic is not well founded, and
the government should govern itself
accordingly. The war department has
nearly 800, 900 men at its disposal.
Shafter has about $4,000; 100000 are
assigned to the Philippines and $4,000
to Porto Rico. This leaves force
large enough to spare at least $4,000
to operate against Havana. A landing
could be made in eastern Cuba within
easy striking distance of Havana. The
navy is out of JOB, and with it's CO.
operation the army should be able to
make quick Work oI DlaHco. 1t GER
tainly is true that the administration
is ignoring public sentiment in the
matter of Cuba. Its inactivity in that
direction is irritating the people, be-
cause they can see no excuse for delay

to Toral's corps has thrown Blanco's

Onerous Duties.

Despite the fact that the city of San
tiago has been in peaceful and undis-
puted possession of our army for sew
eral days, accounts of suffering on the
part of some of the destitute people
there continue to be sent in by news
paper correspondent.
Those in need of food, according to
these reports, do not seem to be con-
fined to the thriftless and pauper ele-
ment, but instances are mentioned of
persons belonging to the thrifty and
well-to-do classes-especially women
ch1ldren-who are feeling the pinch
of hunger.
One reason given for this-ard it
seems plausible one-is that the
enormous and extortionate customs
duties in force under Spanish rule
have been restored by General Shafter.
The result is that ship loads of food,
hurried to Santiago from American
ports, have not been unloaded and dis
posed of with the rapidity expected,
great risk of loss on account of the
contingency that the high duty may at
any time be removed, causing a slump
in prices, and that the prices necessary
to be charged in order to reap profit
make it almost impossible for families
in ordinarily good circumstances to
buy the necessaries of life. And the
pride of these families deters them
from resorting to the direct methods
of beggary to relieve their hunger.
The Military Governor of Santiago
is loaded with a situation abounding
in details and difficulties. In addition
to the victualing of his own army he
has the feeding of the 10000 Spanish
prisoners to look after and the ration
ing of possibly a greater number of
paupers from the town and province of
Santiago thrown on his hand.
But it would seem that his restora-
ton of the confscatory duties of Spain
have worked hardships on numbers of
people in the captured seaport. Public
policy and humanity alike demand
that those duties, in so far as they af-
feet the price OF breadstuffs, provisions
and medicines, should be removed al
together.-St Losis Republic.

CalumnY in Georgia.

The pastor of a Baptist church at
Atlanta. in Georgia, the Rev. DR..
Broughton, aroused great resentment
in that town and throughout that State
by assailing the society of Atlanta as
sordid and immoral in recent sermon.
The character of his invective is indi-
Gated in this remark made by him last
Sunday in a sermon in defence of his
previous calumniatory utterances: so
ciety, as / conceive it, does not consist
in power and paint and upholstered
women, who fiirt about in the revelry
of the dance. and go arm in arm with
men loaded with whiskey." He also
talked about sslicentious Dances" and
plainly charged that the more elegant
society of Atlanta is permeated with
vulgar immortality
1t is not surprising. therefore, that
decent newspapers of Atlanta and of
Georgia generally have expressed their
ScuSS vi db GuSh
against one of the most enterpriZing
and cultivated of the Southern COM
munities. They do not need to resept
the assault, however, in any fear that
it will bring Atlanta society into any
unjust reproach among intelligent peo-
pie elsewhere. The evil this preacher
thinks he sees exists in his own mind
chiefly. The corruption he describes
in the society of that cultivated South
ern community is not outside of him
self, but in his own prurient inagina-
tion. Such accusations are usually
nothing more than self-revelations OF
moral morbidity. At best, they are
the suggestions of ignoronce OF the
conditions of the social Intercourse as
sailed. Oftentimes evil inferences
drawn from given circumstances are
only indications of what the censors
themselves would be disposed to do in
such a situation.
Here in New York Parkhurst sue
ceeded in discovering social filth by
hunting for it methodically as dis
guised detective. 1t was no new dis
covery. The possible degradation of
human nature has no limit in the
descent to which it may go; and the
shapes it assumes are protean. They
are morbid manifestations with which
medicine and penology must deal, and
with which experts in alienism are
obliged to become familiar; but their
study, their minute examination, is
obnoxious to all healthy minds not
professionally compelled to pursue it.
Decency draws a veil to hide the depth
to which human depravity or degenera-
cy can go. Parkhurst tore it asunder,
and exhibited the frightful abyss to all
Christian society. making it current
theme of conversation and investiga-
tiou.
1t was an inconeeivably repulsive
occupation. but by reason of it Park
hurst gained notoriety which melted
other preachers here and there to
initiate his example. Very likely.
they all thought themselves impelled
by the purest motives only. but really
their animating impulse was prurient

vocative; it is pitch which cannot be

, PECULIAR POIS0NS.
GENERATED IN THE HUMAN BODY
The Result of Imperfect Dig stion of
Food.

Every living thing, plant or animal, con
tains within itself the germs of certain decay
and death
In the human body these germs Of disease
and death (called by scientists Ptoinaines),
are usually the result of imperfect digestion
of food the result of indigestion or dys-
pepsia.
The stomach from abuse, weakness, does
not promptly and thoroughly digest The
food The result is heavy, sodden mass
which ferments Qhe first process Of decay
poisoning the blood, making it thin, weak,
and lackiug in red corpusces poisoning the
brain causing headaches and pain in the
eyes.
Bad digestion irritates the heart, causing
palpitation .and finally bringing on disease
of this very important organ
Poor digestion poisons the kidneys caus-
ing Bright's disease and diabetes.
And thisis SO because every organ, every
nerve depends upon the stomach alone for
nourishment and renewal, and weak diees-
Son shows itself not only in loss OF appetite
-and flesh, but in weak nerves and muddy
complexion.
The great English scientist, Huxley, said
the best start in life is sound stomach.
Weak stomachs fail to digest food properly,
because they lack the proper quantity Of
digestive acids Qactic and hydrochloric) and
peptogenic products; the most sensible REM
edy in all cases of indigestion, is to take after
each meal one or two of Ntuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets, because they supply i'll a pleasant,
harmless form all the elements that weak
stoinachs lack.
The regular use of Stuarl's Dyspepsia Tab
lets will cure every form of stomach trouble ex
cept cancer of the stomach.
