DISEASES.
Piles. Fistula, and InGammntory
Conditions OF the Rectum.

The troubles so annoying and danger
Gus TO health are among the common
est with which humanity Is afflicted.
We are. therefore. pleased tc announce
that modern research in medical science
has at last produced a certain cure for
them. ana as usual with all great and
meritorlou INVENTIONS. Is simple. and the
only wond,f Is that such q remedy was
not discovered and used years before.
The remedy we prefer to is known as
the Pyramid Pile Cure. Il is not an ONT
mcnt nor a salve. liquid nor Internal
remedy. but is applied directly to the seat
OF the disease and produces a cure In Il
surprisingly short space Of time.
For itching piles a few applications
produce a complete cure while for
bleeding, ~protruding. and all other forms
of rectal diseases its use will result in a
permanent cure. even I'm cases where an
operation has failed.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is painless TO
use. and relieves all pain at once. All
druggists keep il. or will get it for you.
IL is prepared by the Pyramid Drug
Company, Of Marshall, Mich. who Will
send YOU full particulars Of the cause
and cure of piles; also. testimonials from
every section of the country. or If your
druggist has the remedy on hand YOU
Will find the treatise on piles and testi-
monials I'm each package Of the remedy.
A trial will convince you that the Pyra-
mid Pile Cure Is a specific for every form
OF rectal disease, and it is guaranteed to
contain no mineral poisons nor injurious
ingredients so often resorted to In treat
ing piles. Sold by druggists at 30 cents.

THE Duty OF THE HOUR.

There Is a good deal Of unbecoming
talk all over the country in regard 10 the
war. We regret TO see this. 1T reflects
no credit on those who indulge in it, and
we would fam hope that they do not APP
preciate how badly their comments
sound-do not appreciate the significance
Of their remarks.
II Is TOO late now TO discuss the propo-
sition whether the war was necessary
or not. If it was not necessary. we can
reserve the point of reckoning hereafter
in the conduct Of our internal affairs
with those who brought it on. The
agencies and influences that conduced 10
the fnality of a resort to arms are Tor
the time being a thing Of the past. The
judgment of those agencies and influ-
ences is a thing of the future. Whatever
the verdict may be-and it is not our
province to prophecy as to that-it can
not affect the question of our present
duty-the duty Of the hour.
The concrete and vital fact with which
we have To deal now is that war is upon
us. We are confronted by a ruthless, i'm
pidCdDlt NlllNltl1Nt lpt. we indut III llc
name of humanity a demand upon Spain,
and upon her refusal TO comply We served
notice upon her-served notice upon the
world-of our purpose to enforce the de-
mand at the muzzle of our gun
When we did this We committed TO the
guardianship Of the God of Battles the
prestige and the honor Of the United
States. and the prestige and honor Of
each individual sovereign State in the
Union. The moment the die was cast
the situation presented a test of national
and State pride and patriotism.
This is what the people throughout the
length and breadth Of the land are called
upon TO realize to the consummation of
perfect unity in heart, word, and action
I'm the matter of vigorous prosecution of
the war 10 a complete victory for Ameri-
can arms. We must not only vindicate
our demand upon Spain by accomplish
ing thoroughly the work we have set
out 10 accomplish, but must show forth
our patriotism by accomplishing it with
a will. Because the enemy is not at our
doors-is not marrying our coast
though he may do so before the conflict
is over-makes him none the less the
enemy Of our common country, with
whom in reckoning we should reckon as
patriots.

cartoon, in which General Lee appears
at the head of a dashing band Of cavalry.
There is plenty of snap and martial
spirit about the picture. but we fear the
artist has fallen into an error so far as
the horse is concerned. The animal.
though full of fire. is too diminutive, and
we almost imagine we see our "Fitz'
on a Shetland pony. 1t is very probable.
however. that the sketch-maker delibe-
rately fell into error. He might well
offer as an excuse the fact that Fitz is
a very big man, and that no ordinary
equine could maintain its dignity with
such a rider on its back.

THE PLAN OF CAMPAIGN.

The War Department is not calling
into consultation the n-ewspaper-men Of
the country, and, therefore. w are not
able to speak authoritatively as to its
plan OF campaign. but some things are
obvious.
Ii Is well known that General Miles is
hostile to the project OF hurrying troops
into Cuba before they have been drilled.
brigaded, and somewhat acclimated 10
southern suns; but he has modified
about 15.O0O regulars al New Orleans.
Tampa. Mobile, and Chickamauga. and
these are ready for any service that may
be required Of them. Moreover. there
are 1900 or 1900 marines who nave been
well-drilled. especially in debarking and
landing. SO we may presume If any Gu
ban port is TO be seized soon, that work
will be done by regulars cooperating
with the navy.
That some such scheme Is under con-
sideration seems certain, in view of the
weil-ascertained fact that the govern
ment has chartered a number of large
steamers. which are believed TO be IN
tended for use as transports.
The recent attack made by our ships
upon Matanzas indicates that the govern
mont has a mind to seize that place
that is 10 say. If 1t is not 'possuming"
with intent TO deceive the spaniards as
to the place where it really intends to
land an army.
haianzas is about fifty miles east Of
habana. II Is the second city of impor-
lance upon the island, having IA popula-
tion OF about Go.G00.
supposing that we should be able ia
take possession OF Matanzas. or Some
o'her good base OF operations. II is an
uers'ood that Gomez aud Garcia can ef-
