WASHINGTON LETTER.
WASHINGTON, April 13, Is

While every man and woman is
interested in the exciting subjects
which have been prominently be-
fore the public mind in Washing
ton during the past month, it may
be interesting to turn aside for a
moment to consider that subject
which, at this time last year, was
engrossing public attention, the
new tariff.
1t is a subject which will especi-
ally interest the farmers just now,
for the new law, having been in
operation for more than a half-year
it is practicable to begin to measure
it's effect upon all classes and
especially upon the great industries
of agriculture and manufacturing.
The Treasury Department has
just issued statement covering in
detail the operations of the new
law during the first half-year of it's
work, also showing the importa-
tions and expectations for January
VI une pfcSen6 year. III Is especially
interesting to the farmer because
it gives him an insight into the
work of the new tariff law COM
pared with that which preceded it
and particularly as to its effect
upon his own industry.
Some facts relative to the first
SIX months work of the law have
been already alluded to, but it is
well enough in this connection to
point out the fact that the total
importations of articles Of food and
live animals in the first half-year
Of the new law fell nearly $20,0O0,-
900 as compared with the cores
ponding six months of the pre-

Sensible and Timely.

The fellow who howls loudest for
war is rarely heard leading a charge
on the enemy's guns.
But then we need 'em, if for
nothing else than to whoop and
howl. because a certain amount of
wind is needed to fan a sizzling
smoking fire into a blaze.
Nor is it essential that they
should know what they are whoop-
ing and bowling about.
Ask these fellows upon what
grounds they would declare war,
and they can't give any. They
don't know what the status of af-
fairs is between the two countries.
They have heard that there might
be war, and they are bowling for
it. To avenge the loss of one war
vessel and the lives of large part
of the crew, they would sacrifice q
score of equally valuable vessels
and thousands of equally good
lives.
All this, to say nothing of vast
treasure and untold injury to COM
merce and trade, just to crafty the
great army of whoopers and howl
erS.
Our dogs of war are ready to
pounce upon other dogs of war and
fight to finish.
What for?
To those who would have most
of the fighting to do, and the heavi-
est burdens to bear, and the greater
losses to suffer, it looks as if it
would be mainly to crafty that
desire of these whoopers and
howlers to see fight.
There is nothing surer than that
those most clamorous for war will
never willingly join the ranks of
the real fighters. They will be
found in the departments of supply,
where there is plenty to eat, and
fine chances for turning pennies to
their own account.
Every veteran of the late war
will tell you the same, and most
any Of them can cite case after
case in proof Of their statements.
And it was well known in the
army that loud-mouthed, swearing,
staggering soldiers were no good
for fighting.-Quiet Observer in
Pittsburg Commercial Gazette.

Mrs. Michael Curtain, Painfield, ILL.,,
makes the statment, that she caught
cold, which settled on her lungs; she
was treated for a month by her family
physician, but grew worse. He tod
her she was a hopeless victim of con-
sumption and that no medicine could
cure her. Her druggist suggested Dr.
Kings New Discovery for consump-
ton; she bought bottle and to her
delight found herself benefited from
first dose. She continued its use and
after taking six bottles, found herself
sound and well; now does her own
housework, and is as we'll as she ever
was. Free trial bottles of this great

6. w. Stones Canvass.

Congressman Charles w. Stone,
of Warren, has picked up so many
delegates within the past three
weeks, says the Philadelphia Times,
that already his candidacy must be
given serious consideration. He
has a solid delegation from his
congressional district, consisting of
the counties of Warren, Venango,
Mexican and Cameron. BY COM
promise two of the Mercer delegates
are for him; the Butler delegates,
although uninstructed, are said to
be for him also, and the Lawrence
county delegates were instructed
for him on Monday.
With so good a beginning and
delegates yet to be elected in sew
eral counties in the northwest,
where sentiment is in his favor, it
is clear that he will go into the
convention with personal follow
ing that can hardly fail to prove an
important factor in making the
final selections of a candidate. As
he has been in Congress of late
and is thus free of the factional
entanglements from which some
other candidates have not been
able to extricate themselves, q
stranger thing might happen than
for his band of delegates to become
a neucleus around which other
delegates might rally and give him
the nomination in the final round
up.
G. w. Stone has had long pub
lie career. He was a member of
the House at Harrisburg from the
district composed of Venango and
Warren during the sessions of 1870
and 1871; state senator from the
same district in 1877 and 1878;
lieutenant governor for the four
years following January, 1879, and
secretary of the commonwealth by
appointment of Governor Beaver
from January, 1887, until his
resignation in 1890 to take his seat
as a member of the Fifty-frst
Congress, to which he had been
elected to fill vacancy. He has
been returned to Congress continu-
ously since that time, and is a
member of the Fifty-ffth congress,
now in session, and chairman of
the committee on coinage.
From this it will be seen that in
point of experience in public affairs
no man in the State can be said to
have served longer or in a more
varied capacity. If governorships
were bestowed in Pennsylvania in
the way of promotion Congressman
Stone would certainly be eligible.

sciatic rheumatism for over eight
months. She doctored for it nearly the
whole of this time, using various
remedies recommended by her friends,

received no relief. She then used one

cure. This is published at her request,

THE MILITIA'S ARMS.

Everybody is talking war, and as all
bodied men between the ages of IS
and 40 are subject to enrolment in the
militia, it may be as well for them TO
know what the government expects OF
them in the way of being provided with
arms.
Sec. 1928 Or. S. Z. s. says:
Every citizen shall. after notice of
his enrolment, be constantly provided
with a good musket or firelock of Il
bore sufficient for balls of the 18th part
of a pound, a sufficient bayonet and
belt, two spare fints and a knapsack, a
pouch with box therein to contain not
lass than n cartridges suited to the
bore of his musket or firelOck, each
cartridge to contain a proper quantity
Of powder and ball; or with a good
rifle, knapsack, shot pouch and powder
horn, 20 balls suited to the bore of his
rifle. and a quarter of a pound of
powder: and shall appear, so armed.
accoutered and provided when called
out TO exercise or into service, except
that when called out on company days
to exercise only he may appear without
a knapsack And all arms. ammunition
and accouterments so provided and re-
qUired shall be held exempt from ali
suits, distresses, executions or sales for
debt or for the payment of taxes. Each
commissioned officer shall be armed
with a sword or hanger sDontoon."
Whether the militia of the state is
provided as here required, we do not
know, but If not, Governor Wells should
make a reQuisition on the general gov
eminent for the arms and accouter-
ments above described. During the
jubilee there were in the hall of relics
a number of frelocks, but most of them
were without fints. Let them be pro-
vided forthwith. If the militia of the
country were provided with firelocks
with bores that required is balls to the
pound. what boom there would be in
the lead industry.

The mineral lands on the Uncompah-
gre reservation, with the excep-
ton of those bearing asphaltum.
win be thrown open to entry
on Friday the 1st proximo. but
the agricultural lands will not be
thrown open until next october. This
is by no means a satisfactory arrange
ment. 1t gives prospectors right to
go upon the reservation to search for
minerals, but the reservation is not
known to be very much mineralized
outside of gilsonite; that is the one
great valuable mineral deposit on the
reservation, and how title to
the lands bearing it can be
secured is the one great ques-
ton in which everybody is inter
ested. There should be no special leg
islation for mineral lands of any char
acter, but all should come under the
operation of general laws.
Deferring the opening of the agricul-
tural lands until October will lose in
tending settlers a year, for nothing can
be done after that date to put lands
in condition for crops, nor can much be
done towards erecting houses; neither
is it certain that so late an opening
will prevent a great rush to the reser-
walton.

TALES OF THE DAY.
The colonel,s War Story.

Atlanta Constitution: ''Talkin' about
war times" said the old colonel. did any
of you ever hear the story of Jim Ad-
kins?"
NO"
We'll. I'm surprised. Everybody in the
settlement knew it, Jim was a no-'count
sort of fellow, and the old man was anX-
ious to get rid of him: So when the war
broke out and they were looking around
for men, the old man gave him away.
Gave him away
Yes: Jim was in the hay loft. and they
were about to leave without him. when
the old man winksd and pointed to the
barn.
That was enough: and they got him,
and marched him to the front.
THE old man was sorry after Jim was
gone and his conscience hurt him bad.
But he hoped for the best. until one day
he got a message that told him Jim had
been killed and buried on the battlefield.
Then he packed his grip and started
right off to bring Jim $ body meme. u pos
sible: for the grief-striclSen mother would

able for him with her reproaches.
HE went TO Virginia, and was there
Informed that IL would be impossible to
remove the body. So he stood over the
spot where II was buried and wept for
three days. Then he went sadly home.

SPANS TRUE IGNoMINY.

We fully agree with the impartial of
Madrid that lin the minds of other
peoples. SPANS consent TO allow
United States officials TO succor Cubans
constitutes true ignominy." The I'M
parcial might have added that in the
minds of all people such consent con-
stitutes true ignominy.
1t is n tacit admission on the part of
Spain that she is really helpless; that
she has not the power to put down
the rebellion, nor the resources to feed
and clothe those whom she has con-
centrated in the towns; that she is too
weak to exercise sovereignty over Cuba
and too proud to relinquish it. Pride
was ever the distinguishing feature of
the Spanish character, yet Spain per-
mitted a nation, her relations with
which are greatly strained, to succor
her subjects in Cuba, became the re-
cipient of aims. Where was Spanish
pride when she did this. If she did it
for the sake of humanity, to succor
starving women and dying children,
why does not her humanity prompt
her to abandon the policy that makes
the succor necessary?
The people and government of the
United States should no longer succor
the Cubans in the way they have been
doing The succor of the future, If
there is to be any, should have regard
to a permanent rather than a tenn
porary relief; it should look to the
adjustment of the conditions that
cause the suffering and necessitate the
relief. These conditions should be
abolished, ''peaceably if they can, forci-
bly, if they must"

the Maine are being well taken care OF.
and will be: they are not the class of
men to go around asking aims, either.
Those of them who were not wounded
by the explosion under and on the
Maine, are still in the government ser
vice, most anxious to get ''whack'
at Spain; that is all the aims they ask
or VIII ask.
But what a supreme impudence these
imposters have, 1t almost challenges
admiration. And what is their war
rant for it? Simply their knowledge of
human nature. They know that the
sympathies of the whole American peo-
pie go out to the victims of the Maine
disaster, and to all who were attached
to the Inflated vessel. They seek 10

CRYING BABIES.

Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton has
done much for woman suf.ag over
did the business, in fact, when she got
out Womans Bible, but children, her
neighbours children at least, are the
bane of her existence. She and her
daughter made complaint to the board
of health about the crying of a neigh
boris children. The daughter, il ap-
pears. suffers from nerasthenia and in
somnia, and the family physician testi-
fed that they are induced and
allotted" by the constant and wilful
annoyance" OF their neighbors, the
Kellers. The appeal to the board OF
health ends with these words: I'VE
have suffered from this nuisance for
the past three years. At first there
was one child. Next year two. and
now, within the past two months, a
third child has been added to the num-
Der, and each and every one is a per-
sistent crier and screamer." All this
is testified to by physicians, male and
female.
Mrs. Keller is a woman who can take
care of herself even if she does not
undertake to care for the rest of the
Napoleon would have admired. Il have
had three children in three years and a
half" she said, land I'm glad of it,
and I hope to have a dozen. That's
one thing l married for-to have a big
family of children and make good
American men and women of them
That's what 1 think is a woman's
business"
Asked if her children cried, she
answered: "Of course they cry. All
children cry. Did you ever know any
who didn't? Mine don't cry any more
than others. They've come pretty fast,
and are all young-the oldest three and
a half. We gave them our dining room
for a nursery. because the best we
have isn't too good for them. Think
I'll cut off fresh air from them to please
Mrs. Lawrence? No. I won't very en-
phatic here. Mr. Keller needs the
front room for his studio because of the

Talk about physical cultured (Scorn-
fully. What kind of physical culture
is that for a woman when she can't
stand a baby crying? I don't know
much about physical culture, but I've
had three children and taken good
care of them and put up with their
crying. and expect to have many more.
Isn't that what a woman's for? Maybe
these new women don't think so, but
1 do"
The three children were shown-the
oldest a girl. the others boys. They
had just been put to bed and were not
crying. The small girl was playing
peacefully in her crib, the older boy
was smuggling" under his draperies.
and the baby was staring with pro-
found eyes at the gas jet, his counten-
ance indicative of deep but not acri-
monious thought
THERE" said Mrs. Keller, with a
triumphant little comprehensive wave
of her hand. DO you think they look
like crying children? Do you think a
woman with three babies like that and
husband like mine has any reason to
worry herself about any new women
or boards of health?"
Three cheers for Mrs. Keller, say we.
And long life and lusty lungs to the
three crying children. Heaven bless
and preserve them,
