ment does not get too pendulous 4
or shifting so as to be taken inn
proper and dangerous advantage
of. All rejoice in this era of good
feeling, but il cannot be disguised
that public sentiment has sud
denly changed from making
treason odious" to putting its
memories on a par with loyalty.
To be filled with an unjust hatred
and Observation-Disclosures at one time
and then fondly embrace their
objects shows a very strong
tendency to sudden and unexpec-
ted surging of the passengers and
crew of the old ship of state, and
although this sudden exercise of
just recognition of the patriot
ism of the south is highly COM
mendable it yet is an exponent
of the times and that too when
a large contingent of impulSive,
passionate and ignorant beings
are to be added to the passengers
and perhaps to the crew while
the ship sails among unknown
islands. And so we are squarely
face to face with a great problem.
Among the great questions it is
asked are the following;
Can a government founded on
the theory and fact that all its
subjects are of equal capacity, in
tegrity and patriotism be applied
alike to two classes widely un'
equal in all those respects?
Can the superior portion of q
country secure and guarantee a
free government to the inferior
portion whatever the relations
of the two may be without die
tating and defining what thai
free government shall he?
Can one portion of a people be

other portions without being
totally destructive of the origina

What Doctors Think of Wearing Rubbers

What Doctors Think of Wearing Rubbers.
Here's the first law of healtl1-keep
your feet dry. We all know it, We all
know that pneumonia and consumption
always start with cold, and that the
shortest cut to a cold is a pair ofwet feet.
But it's so important a matter that we
can't be reminded too often, especially
when the reminder carries the weight OF
authority.
Dr. Wendell c. Phillips, one of the most
distinguished physicians in New York,
was recently giving lecture on Colds,
and How to Prevent Them" 1t was a
rainy night, and he began:
How many persons here wore rubbers
tonight? Hands up.
"Not half of you. Now, that is what
thought. Every one Of YOU should have
rubbers on a night like this. To &c
without them is to invite colds, bronchiaI
trouble, catarrh ana pneumonia. 1t is
astonishing how people neglect their feet
Rubbers are fifty cents. You can save q
lot of money on the investment-perhap
ten-days' doctor bill, to say nothing O
medicine"
The doctor might have made it still
stronger and said that fifty cent pail
ofrubbers would not only save doctor
bills and medicine bills. but often life it
self. Don't try to save on rubbers; it..
the most expensive economy in the worlc
especially just now, when everybody i:

the result of the system of drilling and

practiced for years. and under which II
was believed the greatest deeds could be
accomplished. In awarding prizes to gun
captains he proceeded. the basis on
which they were made was rapidity and
accuracy. or the number of shots made
in a given time, as well as accuracy. 1t

Spaniards at Manila, and l imagine 1t was
the same at Santiago"

al battle. and Privates Charles Armstead.
William Harris and Mathew Goodwin are
the men who maintained the honor and
glory of their regiment against over
whelming odds until re-enforcements ar

enemy and took three prisoners. Incl
dentally II may be mentioned that they
were themselves captured and placed in
durance vile and were only released when
they each deposited a sum of money that

A number of volunteers from Camp Al

colored soldiers from the Tenth Immune
Regiment, company OF which is station
ed In this city, and a wordy battle was
begun between the two. which ended in a
stone fight in the street, in which the
white men came out second best.

Judge arrived they found only three OF
the Camp Alger men, one of whom was
severely cut in the head with a stone, and
all of the immunes. who evidently thought
they were immune from arrest as well

Continued Anxiety Over the Mem
aeins en Of Germany.
STERN REBpKE MAY BE GIVEN
should rIere BE Another such Dem
Onstratioh as That Made by the
Warships Which Followed Our
Transports Into Manila Harbor
Trouble May Ensue.

The attitude Of Germany in the Philip
to the Administration. Everything
points to n desire on the part of the
Germans to interfere with American pos
session of the islands. and from intelli-
gences received recently 1t would appear
that they are growing more and more
presumptuous and arrogant. The action
of German warship In following the
American transports into the harbor
with an unnecessary display of self
imposed Importance is considered a seri-
GUS breech OF war etiquette. Another
such move, when officially confirmed will
probably invoke rebuke from this Gov
ernment.
The Administration processes to be in
ignorance Of late developments in the
Philippines.
1t is not known whether General An
derson and Admira, Dewey have agreed
to demand the surrender of Manila under
penalty of bombardment. They will be
governed by their own knowledge of the
visibility of an immediate attack without
direction from Washington.
The Administration, however, urges 'he
occupation of Manila at the earliest pos
sible hour compatible with safety.
Recent successes and representations OF
the Germans have, it is reported, very
nearly turned the heads of the insurgents.
1t is feared they will insist upon the alb
solute independence of the Philippines,
and may even resent American occupa-
ton. The fall of Manila will anticipate
numerous complications, and therefore an
attack upon the city will be made with
all possible haste.
