CONTRABAND COAL.
Los Angeles Herald: 1t is now con-
ceded that the action of Great Britain
in declaring coal to be conuraband,
whatever the intent of the order, will
be of infinite advantage to the United
States at all points, save in the Far
East. The superior shrewdness of the
Spaniards, in drawing supplies from the
United States up to within Il very re-
cent period. is abundantly manifested
It is obvious that Spain has profited by
every hour of delay since war was con-
sidered inevitable Their diplomats
have been as polite and as courteous as
have been our own, but it is not SO ap-
parent that we have employed one hand
toward strengthening our position,
while extending the other in good fell

RETIRACY OF JOHN SHERMAN.

The retiracy Of John Sherman from
the Office Of Secretary of State is due
solely to the fact that with his many
years weighing him down he is no long
&r equal to the task of bearing the
augmented burdens of the Department
of State. It is probable that Nfr. Sher-
man will not again come into public
life. He will now retire to the rest and
peace Of well-earned privacy. He goes
TO his home to pass his declining years,
crowned with the respect and admira-
tion of the American people, However
much men and parties may have diff
fered with him on lines of policy and
questions Of expediency, by one and all

devotion and the tireless euergy of his
long and useful service to his country
viii be acknowledged. Twice has he
filled a chair in the Cabinet, four terms
he served in the House of Representa-
tives, and except the five years he
served as Secretary of the Treasury
and Secretary of State, he was in the
United States Senate without a break
since 1861, a period of more than thir-
ty-two years. Now, at the age Of 10,
he retires to well-earned rest from pub
lie life, honored by his feIlow-citizens,
and leaving behind him a record for
craftsmanship, patriotism and devotion
that viii forever remain notable upon

SINGULAR STATEMENT.

The following letter to Mrs. Pink

East Susquehanna Ave, Philadelphia,

lief from utter encouragement. She
says:

to thank you for what Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound has done
for me-
Some years ago had womb trouble
and doctored for long time, not see
ing any improvement. At times
would feel well enough, and other
times was miserable. So it went on
until last October, | felt some thing
terrible creeping over me, l knew not
what, but kept getting worse. l can
hardly explain my feelings at that
time. L was SO depressed in spirits
that L did not wish to live, although 1
had everything to live for. Had hys-
terra, was very nervous; could not
sleep and was not safe to be left
alone.
Indeed, thought would lose my
mind. No one knows what [ endured
" continued this way until the last
of February, when I saw in paper a
testimonial of lady whose case was
similar to mine, and who had been
cured by Lydia E. Pinlzham's Vegeta-
BILE Compound. l determined to try it,
and felt better after the first dose. /

heart, Thank God for such medi-
cine"

Effect of Cathode Rays.

On a chemical effect produced by the
impact cathode rays by Professor J. J.
Thomson and Mr. Skinner of England
Mature" says: Aluminium is rap
idly evaporated from the cathode by an
electric discharge in a highly exhaust
ed vacuum tube in which air has been
replaced by mercury vapor The met
al is condensed over the walls of the
tube in the form of a bright mirror An
iron cathode gives a similar mirror IN a
mercury vapor discharge tube When
the aluminium coating is dissolved off
the wall Of the blub by hydrcchloric
acid a gelatinous membrane remains
which gives the reactions of silica.
When potassium vapor is used the glass
opposite the aluminium cathode is
rOughened In parts sheltered by
screens from the discharge the glass is
not attacked. In potassium vapor the
aluminium cathode is not evaporated
to any marked degree. Opposite the
cathode both in the mercury vapor and
potassium vapor bulbs a dark annular
stain of the shape of the cathode IS
formed. This stain resists the action
of strong hot hydrochloric acid nitric
acid, aqua regia, and potash solution
The action of hydrochloric acid re-
moved it apparently by dissolving The
glass. The tests indicate carbon, but
the quantity Of the stain is also formed
on screens of mica, quartz, and calcite
Monatomic gases appear to permit the
evaporation Of aluminium. as Professor
Calender has observed its evaporation
in an argon vacuum tube

Here is the speech of the presi- dent of Peru at the opening of the na- tional congress of that country practi- cally proving this proposition. The nitrate beds it lost to Chilli are not now as valuable as they were, the price of the product having fallen so low that the export duty obtained is small. Chili is therefore in trouble, while Peru is contented a4d fortunate.

WHY PRIZE MONEY?

If our sailors are to be paid for the vessels they take and destroy and for the men they capture, then common justice demands that our soldiers should receive like compensation for the spells of war and the prisoners they take. There is not getting round this proposition. Prize money is relic of times far different from ours. II originated when naval warfare and pi- racy were very closely allied Ii there ever was any justification for it none exists now. Both on it's own ac- count and because it is an unfair dis crimination against the army, prize money should be abolished-Atlanta Journal.

EXPANSION cF TERRITORY.

That the familiarization Of Ameri- cans with lands in the far Pacific as belonging to their own domain, cou- pied with the spirit of adventure would have a tendency to stimulate American trade with the orient, we do not deny. But the extent of the bene- fit thus arising is enormously exagger- ated in the minds of those who cover the whole subject with vague and grandiose phrases. When we begin to take a sober view of the matter it is far from clear that the need of the country for opportunities of commer- cial expansion is so intense as to make it shut it's eyes to the question of the price, material and political which t may be necessary to ray for a policy of territorial aggrandizement Baltimore News.
