If the people for stated terms.

We regard the tenure system in our
federal judiciary as subsersive of liber-
ty and we demand the election of Unit
ed States supreme court for stated
terms by direct vote Of the people.
We recommend that at the state
convention of the peoples party to be
held in 1900, a candidate for United
States senator be nominated to be vot-
ed on by the legislature elected by the
party.
STATE ISSUES.
No people can be free who are de-
MED the right to vote yes and no on
every law to which they are subject,
and w therefore favor the initiative
and referendum as the only measure
by which majority rule can be secured.
We are firmly committed to the pub
lie ownership of national monopo]ies
and we favor an amendment to the
constitution permitting the state to
engage in public works.
We favor the repeal of the so.called
fellow servant statute and the enact
mento of legislation making employers
liable for injuries received by their
employees while insthe discharge of i'm
mediate duty, when injuries received
are directly traceable to the negli-
gence OF employers or fellow servants.
We believe in fostering the i%nstitu-
tions of the state and insist that coun-
ty and state supplies be purchased
from home producers.
We are opposed to the employment
of convict labor in competition with
free labor except to such an extent as
may be necessary to preserve the
health of the convicts and maintain
the institutions IN which they are in
carcerate0.
We demand an equitable tax upon
the franchises of railroad and other
corporations, and we denounce the ma
jority of the state board of equaliza-
ton for It's refusal to assess railroad
property on the same basis as that of
the citizens of the state.

Sistersville has relegated that
boom appearance which is char2c-
teristic Of all new oil towns to the
rear and has assumed an air OF per
manence surprising to those not
familiar with the true conditions OF
the present situation. Cheap Oil
country buildings have been sup
planted by imposing stone aud
brick structures that would reflect
credit upon a city Of much larger
population. To present improve
ments continual additions are being
made. The latest of these substan-
tial improvements are the paving
Of Catherine street and Mccoy ave
nue. at cost Of $4,000 to $1,000
and a modern wharf with a Ioo-
foot front which will COST at least

by the city council last night and
will be commenced at once. 1t is
true that all bubbles have bursted
and the people who are now in bus
are all solid both financially and
otherwise. se.-Wheeling News.

A PATHETIC MEETING
Betvpeu Admiral Cervera aud Cap
tain Concha Of the Flagship Maria
Teresa.

Teresa.
New York, Aug. 5,-An Even
Post special from Norfolk, Va,
says:sAdmiral Cervera and his sob,
Lieutenant Cervera, arrived here
this morning from Baltimors. They
feft Annapolis, where they have
Aeen prisoners of war for several
weeks, on parole, having been
granted special permission to visit
Captain concha, commander Of the
Admiral flagship Maria Teresa, and
the other Spanish sick aad wound
ed at the naval no ;p;tal here.
The steamer few her bunting IL
honor OF the admiral and a launch
lay at the pier to receive the dis
tinguished prisoners. Lieutenant
Commander R. NJ. G.. Brown met
the retired admiral and his son as
they stepped off the steamer, and
it was with difficulty that they
pushed their way through the
crowd.
At the naval hospital the Span
ish admiral was received by guard
of honor and he was conducted to
Captain Concha'S room.
This was the first time they lad
met since that fatal dash out OF
Santiago harbor. The meeting was
a pathetic one, the admiral and
captain embracing each other ike
children.
The admiral then visited Lieut..
Naval. of the Piuton. who los a
LEG. Doctors Nicoil and August,
of the Viscaya, and the scenes were
equally affecting when the former
chief entered the ward where the
Spanish sailors were. Their faces
lit up aud they embraced him as
best they could, their joy being
plainly visible. The admirals took
lunch with Medical Director Gle
bourne and it is said he will remain
here several days.

A number of our people who in
vested their earnings in foreign
building and loan associations are
now wishing they had not done so,
and are trying to recover the princi-
pal, but it appears to be very slow
work. Keep your money at home

do all they will agree to do.

ed to any one except regular med
ica1 officer

ed to any one except a regular med
ical officer.
Usually it is necessary to over
come passive resistance and oppo-
sitiou on the part Of crews and a
tendency on the part OF the cap
tains to disregard or modify orders.
In several instances in my own ex'
perience the action Of the crew
amounted almost to mutlEy and.
was only to be dealt with by
threats, show Of force, and, in
one instance, by the use OF the
irons.
While the executive officer at tie
general hospital, Fort Monroe, |
learned officially that the captain OF
the steamship Seneca positively re-
fused to obey the orders emanatlng
from your cffice, given him by the
contract surgeon in charge, to pro-
ceed to New York-he remaining
nearly an additional day at Hamp-
ton Roads with sick and wounded
and asserting that he would obey
no orders given by the medical de-
partment. A similar experience OF
my own at Dalquiri, which had 10
be settled by force, emphasizes the
fact that no one should be placed
in charge of such ship who is not
accustomed to command men and
enforce obedience.
RED CROSS CRITICISED.
With regard to Red Cross socl-
ETY., it would seem as if the lofty
purposes of these organization were,
on the Santiago expedition, sub
verted to individual interests.
While at Tampa the Red Cross
ship, State of Texas, was formally
placed under the control Of the
chief surgeon, fifth corps, by Dr..
Egan, the representative of the So
ciety; he acting under -telegraphlc
instructions to that effect. Col.
Pope accepted this offer and di-
rected that the State of Texas &C
companying the expedition Of Gen.
Shafter to its destination. Al
though this order is fully under
stood by DR.. Eagan, the State OF
Texas did not accompany the ex-
pedition nor did it arrive at Sib-
ouey until the force had been
landed, battle fought and our hos
pitals established in working order.
The first offers Of aid made by the
society, dealt largely in generalities
and manifested reluctance to sub
ordinate the organization to the
medical department. Too much
praise cannot be given the individ-
ual efforts of DR.. Lesser and the
Red Cross nurses. Their work
was untiring and unsel6sh and the
assistance rendered by them was
of great value.
In conclusion it is desired to
emphasize the fact that the lamen-
table conditions prevailing in the
army before Santiago were due to
the military necessity which threw
troops on shore and away from the
possibility of supply, without med
icines, instruments, dressings or
hospital stores of any kind.
Very respectfully your obedient
servant,
(Signed.) EDWARD L. MUNsoN,
Captain and Assistant Surgeon

A Terrible Case Of Eczema.

San Cura Ointment has no equal
for erysipelas. One year ago my
face and neck were one mass OF
raw sores: the doctor said 1 had
eczema also. I had not slept for
weeks, with itching, burning pain.
It was terrible. The first night l
used San-Cura ointment l slept all
night for the first time in weeks,
and in short time was completely

Washington, Aug. S.-Surgeon
General Sternberg has received the
following report concerning the
conditions existing at Santiago,
medical supplies, transportation and
other features connected with the
expedition to Santiago under Gen
eral Shafter. The report explains
what has besn dore by the medi-
cal department and gives the disad-
vantages under which the depart
ment operates in Cuba:
Tampa Heights, Fla, July, %.
To the Surgeon General, I. S.
Army, Washington, D. c.;
S1R:-In view Of the recent
charges made affecting the eficien-
cy OF the army medical department
at Santiago, aud especially with
reference to the conditions prevail
ing on the hospital transports sent
north with wounded, l have the
honor to submit the following facts,
believing that my position as adju-
tant to the chief surgeon, fifth
corps, and as the officer in charge
of the Quitting of the hospital
transports "Iroquois," Cherokee"
and "Breakwater" may possibly
give value to such report.
Drugs, medicines, dressings, IL
struments, hospital tentage and
supplies were loaded in the trans
ports at Tampa in quantities sufi-
cient to meet the needs OF the San
tiago expedition. These supplies
were divided upon the various YES
sells, each organization having its
own equipment, was largely in ex-
cess of its needs and was intended
to be called in to supplement, if
necessary. the equipment of these
hospitals.
The landing on Cuban soil was
made as rapidly as possible, each
organization accompanied by the
medical attendants assigned to it,
and troops were pushed forward
with no other equipment and sup
plies than could be carried by the
soldier.
NO TRANSPORTATION FACILITIES.
Having no means of transporta-
ton for even their field chests, the
regimental medical officers had alb
solutely no resources at their COM
mand, except such as would be pro,
vid;d by the orderly and hospital
corps, pouches and the first aid
packets carried by the soldiers.
Having once left their ships, the
latter were promptly ordered out OF
the small bays at Siboney and Dai-I
quiri to permit tie unloading of
other ships. These partially un-|
loaded ships, in obedience to their
orders, then proceeded to sea from
FIVE to fifteen miles, where they re-
mained hove to indefinitely. Such
orders were given the ports
carrying the reserve and the first
divisional hospitals. The one car
rying the reserve hospital, in ODE
dience to its orders, proceeded to
join the naval blockading suuadron
off Moro Castle, where it remained
FIVE days and nights, the other
transport disappearing, if I am
correctly Informed, for an entire
week. During this time the fight
at Guasima had occurred AMI large
numbers of sick and wounded were
requiring treatment. In the mean.
time, report OF the condition
prevailing on shore was made to
the chief surgeon, who promptly
laid the case before the command
ing general, requesting that a
launch be placed under the control
of the medical department for the
collection of the medical supplies
from the various transports. It
was also requested that pack
train be organized, in the proper
