In 1888 my wife went East and was
attacked with rheumatism. She re

burns and scalds and is never failing
for all rheumatic and neuralgia pains.

ONE EYE ON THE GOVERNOR.
SHIP.
From the Washington Post.

From the Washington Post.
Representative Tate, of Georgia, who
returned to the city yesterday from a
visit to his home, says that eX-Represen-
tative Gambler will undoubtedly be the
next nominee for the governorship. A
nomination Is equivalent to election.
Mr.. Gambler is well remembered here as
the independent who fought Emory
Speers, at that time the leading member
of the Georgia delegation. He is a genu-
inc colonel, having lost an eye in one of
the battle of the war He Is an able and
bright man, and many stories are told of
his ready wit when he was in congress.
One of Mr.. Gamblers latest sayings, by
the way, is said to be the cause of his
certain nomination. Down in Georgia a
'possum supper is synonymous with po-
litcal conference, and to one of these oc-
casionS Mr. Gambler was invited He
knew that the men at the supper were not
altogether favorable to him. and he de-
cided not to be present.
"A political 'possum supper" he wrote
to the host of the occasion, "is not the
place for a one-eyed man."
The remark went all over the state, the
hostile guns were spiked, the supper
failed to unite the opposition, and the
shrewd one-eyed man, who had sight
enough to see through the designs of the
enemy, will be governor of the state.

is much reason why the United States
ward Russia, especially for the reason
that the transcontinental railway now
building across the Siberian steppes, is
being constructed very largely of sup
plies In the way of lumber and other
material shipped from the United
States. IF Port Arthur is made the ter
minal of this Russian railroad it means
increased commerce for this country,
and there is no reason why, in the
opinion of leading diplomats here, the
United States should pull England's
chestnuts out of the fire and lose the
support of nations that have always
been friendly to us. The cordiality Of
sentiment which Great Britain is mani
Testing towards the United States is,
Of course, a matter of congratulation,
but beyond this feeling of pleasure
there will be no recognition of its ex-
istence. All that the United States will
ask is that other nations do not inter-
fere with our operations. Only in case
some foreign power takes up the cudg-
els for Spain will the question of an
Anglo-American alliance be considered.
This contingency is considered remote"
Great victories are not won in day.
1t is something to have effected within
so brief time, as British diplomacy
has lately done, the disarming of that
Anglophobic sentiment, once so vocif-
erous in this country, which held it to
be the chief end of virile Americanism
to be ready to scrap with England at
the drop of the hat. We have all been
more or less afflicted with this disease,
but the day is coming when saner views
will prevail, and when, whether with
or without a written agreement, the
two wings of the greatest living race
will flap, not roughly, in quarrelsome-
ness, but together in unison, for flight
to higher levels of human aspiration
and achievement.

England and the United States

In an article in the Washington Post
which has every indication of being
inspired announcement is made that
"whatever may be the outcome of the
present situation in Cuba the United
States will have the friendly support
of Great Britain, but will not ask nor
accept her material aid" The Post in
its issue of Friday thus quotes a num-
Der of eminent men upon the subject
of an Anglo-Amercan alliance:
"An offensive ard defensive alliance
with Great Britain" said Senator Davis
the chairman Of The committee on foreign
relations, would be at variance with
our policy from the days of Washington
1t would be unwise." Senator Frye said
that unless England could persuade Can
ada 10 stop nagging us and would also
guarantee a satisfactory home rule for
ireland, he would not be inclined to re-
gard with favor a proposition for an al
lance. Senator Cullom, who is a mem
Der of the committee on foreign relations
said that while the United States would
naturally appreciate the friendliness of
Great Britain, the suggested alliance was
unnecessary from any Jpnt of view
I'VE do not want any alliance" he said
"for, while we would be glad If England
gave us her sympathy, we do not need
her aid" Senator Chandler, too, is
against any offensive or defensive alli-
ance I'VE are interested" he said, sin
open ports in China, and IL we can help
Great Britain In this matter without get
ting into a quarrel with our traditional
friends, France and Russia, we might be
inclined to help her. We do not need her
assistance, however, in the trouble which
we may have with Spain. We can man
age that affair for ourselves"
The Post asserts that the admins
tration holds similar view. "It has
always BEEN" that paper remarks, "the
policy of tht United States to hold aloof
from alliances with foreign nations of
akv character whatever. More than all,
1t Is appreciated that the diplomacy of
England is more or less selfish. If she
seeks the assistance of the United
States at this juncture it is felt that
she needs it in the furtherance Of ends
which are of far more Importance to
her than they could possibly be to this
country An alliance with England
would invoke the antagonlsm of
France, Germany. and Russia. There

The Proper Penalty.


person in Washington who has had
facilities for obtaining trustworthy
information that the Names destruc-
tion was the work, not of accident but
of design. Circumstances so unmis-
takaby point to this as a fact that it
is not improper to consider what steps
should follow a formal verdict placing
upon Spain the responsibility for the
malicious destruction in q friendly har-
bor of magnificent ship, together with
the cowardly assassination Of 250 gal
liant seamen wearing the uniform of
the United States.
In some quarters it is intimated
that money indemnity, with express
sion of regret, would constitute a sufn-
cient atonement. Those who have this
belief say that a cash payment to
us by Spain equal in amount to the
cost of the Maine and it's equipment,
plus $1,000 apiece for the sailors mur-
dered dhis money to go to their fam
ilies), plus indemnificatior of the in
jured, plus perhaps a moderate sum
as smart money"-that is, money sup
posed to constitute balm to Uncle
Sam for the indignty put upon his
flag-making altogether between $10.-
100000 and 20,000,000 should compound
Spain's felony and warrant us in let
ting her off without further exaction.
The opinion is held very largely by
men who own securities and who dis
like to contemplate the possibility of
war.
There are others who contend with
warmth that if Spanish treachery has
done this infamous deed Spain should
be obliterated from the map. They
argue that the atrocity of it units
Spain for recognition by civilized ma
tons and that the sooner Spain is
partitioned among the other European
countries and deprived of further pow
er to practice despotism and perfidy,
the better would it be for all concerned
These persons belong to the lingo"
element and they don't relish the idea
of measuring outrage and insult in
blood-money.
AS between these extreme opinions
our sympathies go out 10 the latter
but we recognize that it's realization
is not now eXpedient. There is, how
ever, a middle course which should
meet with the approval not only of
every decent stock broker and lingo
but also of the men who were injured
in the Names explosion and the rela-
tives of those who were killed in it.
We have in mind an imperative de-
mand upon Spain for Cuba's instant
liberation, enforced if necessary This
might or might not be coupled with
demand for money reparation. The
money part of it is not relatively i'm
portant. The people of the United
States would not seriously begrudge
the cost of the Maine as a contribu-
tion to Cuban freedom. The reparation
not measurable in money is required
And certainly more fitting memor-
ial could not be erected over the graves
of the American tars who sleep in
Havana cemetery than to lift above
Moro castle, as the fruition of their
martyrdom, the symbol which resem-
bles our own, the Red, White and
Blue of Cuba Libre.

THE BEST DAY OF THE YEAR.


A Fishing Jingle.
For The Tribune. =
The day of all the glad year
Which l love best;
The one think the most of,
More than all the rest.
The one whose coming brightens
My face, and makes it shine.
Is the early day in April
When l first cast line!
You may talk about your Christmas,
(And I'll join in praise of thaD
You may welcome blooming Easter,
With it's big new hat;
You may rave about the birthdays
OF the men who did their best
Give me the first days fishing
And you may have the rest
I've been waiting long since August,
For this April day.
I've dreamed about it many a night,
And thought of it by day;
Patriotic and religious moods
Have been colored by the wish
That the wheels of time would hurry
With the first day to fish.

Another difficulty which Mr.. Bryan has
encountered in his tour through the south
Is the remarkable advance In rnanufac-
turing industries in that section in the
face of the fall in silver. Even during
the past year, with silver gallopng down
hill at the rate of 10 per cent. reduction
per annum, cotton mills have sprung up
all over the south and are running over
time, sending their goods to all parts Of
the country and all parts of the world and
paying dividends from 10 to 1914 per cent
per annum. In the calendar year 1897,
thirty-seven new cotton mills. with more
than quarter of a million spindes, were
erected in the south, while in the preced-
ing years the increase has been equally
great. Here is a table showing the in
crease In cotton manufactures in the
south and the money invested in them

There should be no impatience on the
part of the public respecting the move
ments of the naval court of inquiry.
There is every reason to believe that 1t Is
proceeding with all the diligence the oc-
casion calls for. 1t is entirely competent
to determine the amount of time neces-
sary for the investigation. 1t alone Is in
possession of Information. The public, SO
far, has only theories and speculation,
prepared for 1t in some instances solely
for sensational purposes. The response
blity of this naval court is very great.
Hurried work or hasty conclusions would
not only discredit the court but increase
existing international complications. All
essential obtainable facts relating to the
cause of the Names destruction are eX-
pected. Much of the work Is very diff
cult. The ship is at the bottom of Hav-
ana harbor, and it is proving to be no
easy matter for the divers to explore the
wreck. But the divers are at work, the
wreck is under American control, and as
soon as may be the story will be brought
up.
And even after the court shall have re-
ported there must be time for the presi-
dent and his advisers TO digest the docu-
ment 1t Is not to be assumed that they
will be able to read it one day and be
as little to their credit to hurry or jump
to conclusions as to that of the court of
inquiry. What is being sought Is not
pretext for war with Spain, but the truth
about the destruction of vessel of the
American navy while riding at anchor in
a harbor controlled by Spain. There is
ground for the suspicion of foul play. but
suspicion affords no ground for a decla-
ration of war. If Spain is to be held to
accountability the case must be able to
bear calm examination.
The question is not one of time limit.
The courage Of the American people will
keep. They will be found ready to uphold
the honor of the flag whenever the oc-
casion calls for it. Neither the court of
inquiry nor the administration needs to
be prodded. The only necessity now ex-
listing is for patience The countrys
case is in safe hands, as events will show.
