AN ANGLO-SAXON LEAGUE.
Views Expressed Concerning 1t by
Senator Lamar Twenty Years Ago.

From the Washington Post.
The utterances in the British House
of commons the other day, touching the
propriety, and indeed, the obvious duty,
of England to tender the services of her
fleet to the United States should there
ever be any need, forcibly recalls the
views of one Of the ablest men of our
generation upon this very matter. The
Hon. l.. Q. G. Lamar served his people
and the country as congressman, sena-
tor, cabinet minister, ana associate JUS
tice of the Supreme Court of the United
States. lie was a man Of broad Views
and a far-sighted craftsmanship that,
when remembered today, seems like a
prophesy. He foresaw that some time
America must be in need of allies. "Tn
tell you what will occur then" said
he. "Some wise British statesman win
suggest an AnClo-Saxon league; some
thing akin TO the league in Europe wheI .
Henri ~ ruled France. But this will not
be an alliance offensive and defensive"
"An Anglo-SaXon league il not a con-
ception Of today, 1t dates back to the
time when Lord Lyons so ably repre-
sented England here. l was young con-
gressman then, and one lovely night.
after charming dinner at Mr.. Corco-
rams Lord Lyons said to me: Lamar,
let's walk home together So he dis
missed his carriage, and, lighting a cigar
i did not smoke-he commenced talk

ONE OF TWO WAYS.

The bladder was created for one pur-
pose, namely, receptacle for the urine,
and as such it is not liable to any form
of disease except by one of two ways.
The first way is from imperfect action of
the kidneys. The second way is from
careless local treatment of other diseases.
CHIEF CAUSE.
Unhealthy urine from unhealthy kid
neys is the chief cause of bladder troubles
So the womb, like the bladder, was Great
ed for one purpose, and if not dOctOred
too much is not liable to weakness or dis
ease, except in rare cases. It is situated
back of and very close to the bladder,
therefore any disease pain, disease or in
convenience manifested in the kidneys,
back, bladder or urinay passage is often,
by mistake, attributed to female weak
ness or womb trouble of some sort. The
error is easily made and may be as easily
avoided. To find out correctly, set your
urine aside for twenty-fOlir hours; sedi-
ment Or settling indicates kidney or blad-
der trouble. The mild and the extraor-
binary effect of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, the great kidney, and bladder
remedy is soon realized. If you need
medicine you should have the best.

No matter how low the metropolitan
papers may make their subscription
rates, they cannot occupy the local field
or take the place of the local paper,
says an exchange. The metropolitan
paper does not attempt to serve the
people Of the community in the same
relation as the local paper. The latter
not only records the news of common
est interest to every citizen, but it is
the champion of the community. 1t
fights its battles, offensive and defen-
sive, and holds personal relation to
every reader that no paper published
outside the community can ever hope
to hold. 1t has a special value, not
measured by the standard of one-cent
pieces, because it is the local paper.
The character of the local paper is an
nnfailing reflex of the people them
selves and on that account the people
owe it to themselves to give it heartiest
support and encouragement.

THE statistician of the department of
agriculture says the farmers in 1897 got
$780, ZOO, 900 more for their cereals than
they did in 1896, and $4,000, 900 more
than in any other year since 1892.
The farm animals increased to the ex-
tent of $236, 100000 in 1897, and the
gain in the entire agricultural interest
of the country in 1897 over 1896 is put
at $500, 100000. No such increase as
this in twelve months has been scored
in many years. Farmers are paying
off their mortgages at a rapid rate and
are not doing much shouting for free
trade or fiat money.

The War in Cuba Must Stop.

The presidents message was given to
Congress at high noon Monday. The
matter is left with Congress, but the
president is ready to carry out its
wishes. In part the president says:
"The long trial has proved that the
object for which Spain has waged war
cannot be attained. The fire OF lnsur-
rection may flame or may shoulder
with varying seasons, but it has not
been and it is plain that it cannot be
extinguished by present methods. The
only hope of relief and repose from
condition which cannot longer be en-
dured is the enforced pacification OF
Cuba. In the name Of humanity, in
the name of civilization, in behalf of
endangered American interests, which
give us the right and the duty to speak
and to act, the war in Cuba must stop;
i'm view of these facts and these cOnsid-
erations, ask the Congress to author
ize and empower the president to take
measures to secure full termination
of hostilities between the government
and the people of Cuba and to secure
i'm the island the establishment OF a
stable government, capable of MAIN
tanning order and observing its inter-
national obligations, insuring peace and
tranquility and the security of its citi-
zens as we'll as our own and to use the
military and naval forces of the United
States as may be necessary for these
purposes, and in the interest of human
ity and to aid in preserving the lives of
the starving people of the island, l
recommend that the distribution of
food and supplies be continued and
that an appropriation be made out of
the public treasury to supplement the
charity of our citizens.
"The issue is now with Congress-; it
is solemn responsibility. 1 have ex-
hausted every effort to relieve the in
tolerable condition of affairs which is
at our doors; prepared to execute every
obligation imposed upon me by the
constitution and law, l await your &C
ton.
yesterday and since the preparation
of the foregoing message, official in
formation was received that the latest
decree of the queen regent of Spain di-
reefs General BlancO, in order to pre-
pare and facilitate peace, to proclaim
suspension of hostilitics, the duration
and details of which have not yet been
communicated to me. This fact, with
every other pertinent consideration
will, I am sure, have your careful and
Just attention in the solemn delibera-
tons upon which you are about to
enter. If this measure attains sue
cessful result, then our aspirations as
Christian, peace loving people will be
realized; if 1t fails, it will only be an
other justification for our contemplated
action"
