Hon. H. F. BARTINE, formerly
our Congressman, and now editor
of the National Bimetallist, publish
es the following in his issue for July,
in relation to Senator Stewards new
book on the "Functions of Money"
A copy of this excellent little book
has been laid upon our table and we
take great pleasure in commencing
it to all who are interested in the
monetary question. Its chief merits
are four, namely: Compactness,
cearness, strength, and compre-
hensiveness. 1t is book of about
80 pages, and the Senator has sue
ceeded in COMPRISING a vast
amount of sound economics into
that comparatively small space. If
a man never knew anything about
the money question before, he GER
tainly will know something of it
when he has read this admirable
little book; that is, he will if he is
capable of learning anything at all.
But gold men and bin etallists
should read this book-the former
for the purpose of obtaining a rudi-
mentary knowledge of monetary
principles; the latter for the attain
ment of greater precision and com
pactness of thought.

GEORGE HELMS.
Letter From Survivor OF the Warship
Maine.

Chester Feb "a, 199S-Ship Carpenter
George Helms. Of tho battleship Maine,
who was blown out Of his bunk on board
the ship in Havana harbor and who was
rescued, has written letter to his par
ents, Mr.. and Mrs. George Helms of No.
524 West Sixth street, this city. The let
ter was received yesterday and was the
first full news which they had received
since he accident, at which time no sent II
telegram containing one word, saved"
He writes that no was sound asleep,
when he was awakened by roar and con-
cussion that hurled him from his bunk.
The electric lights were put out by the ex-
plosion, and he CROPPED his way on his
hands and knees along the deck In dark
ness, nearly stiaed by the smoke. His
knees and feet were cut by tho glass that
Uttered tho deck, but after much effort no
crawled up the gangway bleeding and al.
most exhausted. Mr.. Helms was CLAD
only in his night shirt, as he did not stop
to get his clothing. In some way he was
knocked overheard, and when he thought
he would not be able to continue the strug-
gle much longer was picked up and taken
aboard the City of Washington, where the
was afterward taken to the Marine Bar
racks at Key West, where he now remains.
Mr.. Helms scouts the idea that the wreck
of the Maine was due to an accident. He
believes that she was blown up by design
of some one. He is still full Of patriotism
and wants to get better 80 that he car, re-
join ship, and be on hand il there is to be
u mtxup of any kind.
Mr.. Helms is q son-iu-lnw Of Charles
Hoffman,, proprietor of the Jefferson
House, at New Castle.

DANGER IN SODA.
Serious Results Sometimes Pollow Its
Excessive Use.

Common soda is oil right In Its place
and indispensable In the kitchen and for
cooking and washing purposes, but 1t was
never intended for medicine, and people
who use 1t as such will some day regret 1t.
We refer to the common use OF soda to
relieve heartburn or sour stomach, n habit
which thousands of people practice al
most daily, and one which is fraught with
danger; moreover he soda only gives tenn
pornry relief and in the end the stomach
trouble gets worse and worse.
The soda acts Us d mechanical irritant to
the walls of the stomach and bowel, and
cases are on record where it accumulated
IN the intestines, causing death by in
1ammation or peritonitis.
DIR. Harlandson recommends as the
safest and surest euro for SUR stomach
(acid dyspepsia) and excellent preparation
sold by druggists under the name Of
stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. These tablets
are large 20 grain lozenges, very pleasant
to taste and contain the natural acids, pep
tones and digestive elements essen hal to
good digestion, and when taken after
meals they digest the food perfectly and
promptly before it has time to ferment,
sour and poison tho blood and nervous
system.
DR.. Wucrth states that he invariably
uses StuarS's Dyspepsia Tablets IN all cases
o. stomach arrangements and finds them
a certain cure not only for sour stomach,
but by promptly digesting the food they
creates healthy appetite, increase flesh
and strengthen the action Of the heart aud
liver. They are nota cathartic, but in-
tended only for stomach diseases and
weakness and will be found reliable in any
stomach trouble except cancer OF the ston-
ach. All druggists sell Stuart's Dyspep-
STA Tablets at so cents per package.

stomach weakness and their cure mailed
free by addressing the Stuart Co., of

i Tho report that France will probably
hid Spai1 in case OF war between that
pountry and the United States is hardly
we'll founded. II the French were so anX-
lous that Spain should retain Cuba in or
der that certain bondholders shall receive
The in terest on the same, why does she not
assist to put down the rebellion
nnd festablish the authority of the
SpaDiards. Such course would Prove
more reasonable than an attempt to make
war on our Government under any cir
substances that may possibly arise by
the continuance of the rebellion Spain Is
being bankrupted and the prospect is that
Cuba will eventually become independent.
Thus far we have not heard OF any remon-
Itrunce whatever on the part Of France
against The acts OF the rebels, and therefore
Wc need not expset any interference with
the course our Government may think
proper to pursue. The trade of our coun-
4 try is more important to France than the
pament of the Spanish bonds, and the
same rnle will apply to other European
I nations. Our relation with Spain are
greatly strained in consequence of the das
tardly act of some Of her subjects, and if
We demand suitable indemnity, we do
not see what business France OF any other
nation has to interfere. We are certainly
In n better position to-day than we were
Dntury ago, to act for ourselves without
gard to the opinions of any European
batiep. We do not wish war but the sub
vessels cannot be blown up withoute pbfo1p

While admitting the rebuke we do not
concede its justice nor the sense in which
the Every Evening wishes to convey it.
The truth Ia, Judge Grubb's rebuke was
given because tho Police Commission dar-

besides refusal by the Commission to

which he obtained from Deputy Attorney

Bring the Fionds to Justice.
Washington, Feb. z5.-The postofiice
department has directed Inspector Will
liams, at Chattanooga, Tenn, to de-
tail another inspector to proceed to
Lake City, 8. c., and assist Mr.. Moye,
who arrived there Wednesday night to
conduct the investigation into the MUIR
der of Postmaster Baker and the burn
ing of the postoffice. A singular COIN
cidence in the case of Baker is that on
Feb. q, the day of the night on which
he was murdered, he wrote letter to
the postoffice department saying that
his life had been threatened, and ask
ing that the government extend some
protection to him. Senator MrLaurin,
Of South Carolina, was among Post
master General Gary's callers yester-
day, and expressed his horror at the
crime in which Baker lost his life He
asked that the department use every
means at it's command to discover the
perpetrators of the outrage, and as
sured General Gary that he would do
everything in his power to assist him.
dispatch was received from In
spector Moye. at Lake City, saying
that he was pursuing the investigation
directed by the department. There was
no clew to the perpetrators, and no part
of the postoffice property had been re-
covered,

Of the sundry civil appropriation bill.
An unsuccessful attempt to increase
the appropriation for the suppression

siderable debate on the advisability OF
establishing national quarantine. The
fact that the government y preparing
for contingencies was recognized in the
house yesterday when Chairman Can
non, who has been laboring to keep
down appropriations, accepted without
word Of protest an amendment to in
crease the appropriation to care for the
unused machinery at the Springfield
arsenal. Mr.. GilIett explained that
necessity for using this machinery
might occur at any time. Resolutions
which were objected to few weeks
ago for the appointment Of two ex-

gineer corps of the navy were also
adopted. One Of them will fill a va
cancy caused by the death Of Lieuten-
ant Merritt, of the Maine.
