Viewed from any standpoint, the situ-
alton is acutely grave. 1t calls for high
wisdom linked with decision and cour-
age on the part of the government, and
for restraint and patriotism on the part
of the people.-St. Louis st-Dispatch.
For the sake of finding out all that
can be discovered on that point, as well
as the salvage of the armor plate and
the guns, the government should send
full force Of wrecking vessels and div
ers to inspect the vessel as she lies, and
then to raise what can be raised
Pittsburg Dispatch.
However we regard the tragedy, from
whatever point of view we consider it,
1t is one of the gravest occurrences our
government has been called upon to
consider, and the need of deliberate in
VeSt1gatiOn is imperative in the excited
state of the public mind of both the
United States and Spain-Boston Trav-
eler.
1t is reasonably certain that what can
be discovered will be discovered, and if
Spain is guiltless she will interpose no
obstacles, but do everything in her
power to facilitate and perfect the in
curry. The circumstances are all clear
Iy against her and, supposing her inno-
cent, the truth is her defense.-CoIum-
bus, o., Dispatch.
Blowing up a battleship while several
hundred men are sleeping on board is
certainly in itself not more hideous
cruelty, even though it be the ship of a
naIlOn not engaged in war than is the
blowing up by dynamite of a railroad
train on which men, women and chill
dren are passengers. This last describ-
ed event has been once at least report
ed as having taken place in Cuba by
military authOrity.-Boston Advertiser.
Perhaps a great majority of those
who read of the disaster. at once con-
cluded that Spanish displeasure at the
presence of the Maine in the harbor of
Havana had thus manifested itself but
there is no good reason for such a view
although it is quite probable that there
are Spaniards in Cuba who do not re-
gret the disaster.-Omaha Bee.
Brushing aside any theories that the
explosion was the result of hostile de-
sign, the calamity, in its calling forth
of Spanish sympathies and aid, may
have, outside of it's immediate and most
sofrowful effect on seamen and ship, an
influence that will soothe some of the
international irritation.-Troy, N. Y,
Times.
Spain's innocence must be clearly
proved. All the circumstances of the
case fix the burden of proof upon her.
The Maine was lying in one of her har-
bOrs, under the guns of her fortress
with her warships at hand. The re-
moVal of the Maine meant a tremend-
Gus reduction in the odds against her in
the event of the conflict that all Span
ish Havana desired. The chances
against such a removal by accident
were millions to one, and yet the re-
moval Occurred.-New York Journal.

A Scientific Discovery.
NEURALGIA AND RHEUMATISM
CAN BE CURED.
Morrow's Kidneoids Restore the Kid
dition, Giving Renewed Life and
Vigor to the Nerves and
Muscles.

Neuralgia IS a nervous affection;
rheumatism a disease of muscles and
joints. Both result from unnatural de-
posits in the blood. Primarily there is
great resemblance between the two, but
in their present application they are
distinct
Many reasons are advanced for the
causes of neuralgia and rheumatism
but it is conceded that they are induced
by a complication of causes, superin-
duced by some prominent first cause.
The majority of those who make a
speciality of these Affections are plain in
asserting that Inadequate kidney func-
tiOns are Indirectly. if not directly the
cause of at least fOur-fifths of all neu-
ralg1c and rheumatic Affections.
John Morrow, the great American
chemist, was among the first to realize
that diseased kidneys are the primal
cause of neuralgia and rheuamatism.
AS result of his investigation he
evolved the formula for his great and
only kidney cure-MorrOw's Kidneoids
the yellow tablets.
MorroW's Kidneoids are one of the
greatest discoveries of modern times,
appreciated by all classes and condi-
tions of people and recognized every
where as a standard preparation for all
complications, resulting from broken
down and functiOnleSS kidneys Physi-
clans were 10th at first to ascribe such
a prominent place to MOrrow's Kid
neOids, but, when the proof of remark
able cures We're Forthcoming on every
side, no thoughtful person could re-
strain their admiration for a remedy so
helpful in cases that had long baff1ed
medical skill
The fame of Morrow's Kidneoids has
created a demand for them everywhere
and they are now sold by all dealers at
so cents a box, six boxes being sold for
$3.50. If for any reason the dealer can
not supply you, they will be sent post
paid on receipt Of the price by the
Herb Medicine Co, Springfield, Ohio.

MIR. OUTHWAITE REJECTED
Silver Democrats of Ohio Get Revenge
on q Gold Democratic Leader.

Columbus. O., Feb. 21.-The Ohio De-
mocracy, through their representatives
in the senate yesterday afternoon, took
their revenge upon Joseph H. Outh-
waite, former congressman and now
member of the ordnance board OF the
government.
Mr. Cultivate, after ten years in con-
gress, turned against the Democracy
and led the gold movement in the state,
making speeches all over his district
and throughout the state. Several years
ago he was appointed trustee of the
Ohio state university in this city, and
it was his reappointment by the gov
ernor that caused the show of animus
on the part of the Democracy in the
state today.
One Democrat was absent, and the
vote on confirmation would have stood
II to II without Burke (Rep-) on rel
erence to the committee on colleges and
universities, but the lieutenant govern
or gave the casting vote for Cultivate.
On confirmation the Democrats induced
Burke anti-Hanna Republican, to vote
no, and the confirmation was defeated

WHY NOT COME HERE?
Wisconsin Man Wants to Start q
Flouring Mill Somewhere.

Mr.. VIM. Will1ie of Plattesville, Wis,
wants to establish a flour mill with a
capacity of so barrels a day at some
point in Kansas and has written Secre-
tary Coburn of the state board of ag-
riculture asking for suggestions for a
suitable location. He evidently means
to operate the mill by water power, as
he especially asks after this.
Secretary COburn always avoids dis
elimination in speaking of the advant-
ages of the state, and says he will simp-
ly mail Mr.. Will1ie a map showing the
principal wheat districts of the state
and the railroad facilities.
The Commercial club Of this city
might write Mr.. Wilkie and ask him to
establish his mill in this city. If he is
a man of good judgment, it will proba-
bly, only be necessary to call his atten-
ton to the advantages of Topeka over
all other points to secure the establish
ment of the mill here.

NOTABLE DAY IN SENATE.
Debate on the Cuban Resoiuuon-
Session Lasts Far Into the Night
A Sensational Incident.

Washington, April 16. - After the de-
bate had continued for eight hours in
the senate Friday an effort was made TO
reach an agreement to begin the vote
upon all of the pending resolutions at
seven o'clock, and in the confused col
lcduy among senators there was made
manifest for the first time a disposition
TO filibuster. Senator Caffery (La),
although disclaiming any intention TO
delay action unduly, objected to any
agreement to the fixing of time to
vote. The debate then proceeded, but
in few minutes Senator Wellington
(NId.) entered a motion to adjourn.
This was defeated by the decisive vote
of 81 to 10. At eight o'clock Friday
night another effort was made to reach
an agreement and adjourn, but 1t, too,
was unavailing.

Washington, April 14.-The house of

of the most exciting and memorable
days in its history, by vote of 322 to

which was grimly commented upon by

that Wednesday was the anniversary of
