vessel pointed her prov down the bay.
In a few minutes the City of Wash

picked their way through the anchored
fleet men shouted and bands played.
Every vessel ELECTED a wild display of
enthusiasm. These were the only YES
sells to depart in the forenoon, some of
them going to St. Petersburg to procure
water.
General Miles, evidently becoming
impatient, embarked on the Tarpon at
1890 and went out among the fleet,

After passing the bar at the entrance

The complaint in the case was signed

but a brighter day has dawned. Out
of the wreck of schemes and ill-founded
hopes, has arisen a, new. generation,
who, working with head, hand and
heart, are raising the southern states
to a place where prosperity, plenty and
happiness shall be the familiar portion
of their people. In the front rank of
states that are working out a splendid
destiny stands North Carolina. No
state has greater possibilities, none
greater need of the fostering care that
flows from the Republican control of
the government.

velopment of their industries and the
whirr of spindle and the click of the
loom in hundreds of cotton mills is daily
teaching her people the great lesson of
industrial expansion. Prosperity has
come to North Carolina to stay. This
year there is boom. Farm products
are from Is to 40 per cent advanced
Horses are z per cent higher than in
1897 and few to be had. Poultry are $50
per cent above last year. The lumber
industry that was Frustrated in 1S96-97
is active and prosperous. Tobacco is
higher than in four years"
After quoting from newspapers and
personal letters, all tending to show
that the country and particularly North
Carolina had entered upon an era of
prosperity, Mr.. Pritchard concluded:
Such is the news that comes to our
ears not only from North Carolina but
from every part of this great country.
The song of an ever widening, ever
deepening prosperity is in every ear
and this after less than a year of pro-
tective tariff legislation

Leavenworth, June 15.-Judge Brew
er of the United States supreme court
left yesterday for Washington. Before
departing Judge Brewer related a con-
verSatiOn that took place between Ad-
miral Dewey and two of the justices of
the United States supreme court about
a year ago. Shortly after the admiral
was ordered to Chinese waters the JUS
tees began to express coincidence that
he was being sent so far. He replied:
You need not condole with me, gen
temen. The government will not stand
this Cuban foOlishness much longer,
and we will all have something to do.

PROSPERITY'S SONG.
Senator Pritchard Says 1t is Being
Sung in Every Ear.

Washington, June 15-In the course
of an extended speech in the senate to-
day upon the benefits of Republican
rule, Mr.. Pritchard (Rep., N. c., said:
THE great change which has taken
place in the financial, commercial and
economic conditions of our country
since the inauguration of Republican
president and the enactment of Re
publican tariff law directs attention
again to the benefits which have in
Variably flowed from the adminiStra-
ton of the government by the great
party of Lincoln, Grant and Mckinley
Not in many years, if ever, have the
material prospects of the United States
been as bright as they are today and
for this the wise and patriotic legisla-
ton framed and passed by the Repub-
lican party is responsible.
"A prediction made public by the
bureau of statistics recently might well
have been received with amazement
and incredulity by those who have not
followed carefully the trend of our ma
tional trade during the year. To sug-
gest that the balance of trade in favor
of the United States for one year could
much less would reach the prodigious
sum of $500, 600, 600 seemed like idle folly.
Never before in the history of the ma
ton had the favorable trade balance
been even half that much. And yet
the prediction was well founded and
unless the law of probabilities fail, the
trade balance, which for the ten
months ending April 30, was ssh, 245,
The nearest approach to this extraOr-
binary record was last year, when the
balance in our favor was $3.50, 263, 144.
'As a result of the happy concur
renee of conditions it served to make
memorable this year of our Lord 1898,
the volume of cash sent over to US from
Europe breaks all previous records. 1t
is estimated that for the full fiscal year
the net amount of coin received in par
tial settlement of our huge merchandise
balance will be at least 100000, 600. This
is more than double any previous cash
balance for one year. the largest hav-
ing been $44, 653,200 for the year 1872
Mr.. Pritchard then entered upon a
long and comprehensive discussion of
the effects upon the country of the op-
erationS of the tariff measures passed
by congress. In the course of this dis
cussion, he referred particularly to the
noticeable effects of the tariff legisla-
ton upon the Industries and develop
ments of the south.
After describing agricultural and
commercial trials through which the
south has passed. Mr.. Pritc hard said:

KIDNEY DISEASE POINTS
VALUABLE LESSON.
The Discovery of Chemist John Nor
row, Proves of Even Greater
Value Than He at First
Claimed.

Everybody who is gifted with COM
mon sense learns by their own exper-
fence; the exercise of uncommon sense
is displayed when person learns from
the experience of others. 1t is thus
that medical men gain knowledge of
the action of new drugs, and it is by
the experience of others that sufferers
from the long list of bodily troubles
due to kidney disorder, are learning the
great value of Morrow's Kidoeids.
In a field where scientists had labor
ed for years with but little reward,
John Morrow, the noted chemist, of
Springfield, Ohio, has reaped success,
and time has demonstrated that the
small yellow tablets, the secret OF COM
pounding which he discovered, have
more than all the virtues which the dis
coverer claimed for them.
Persons who suffer from kidney trou-
bles or from pains in the back, head
aches, nervousness, pain in urinating or
any other of the symptoms that indi-
cate incipient kidney disease, will do
wisely to read carefully and weigh well
the experiences of others with Nor
rows Kidneoids as published in these
columns from time to time.
One of many extraordinary cures eff
fected by this great kidney remedy IS
that of Mrs. Sarah Denane, who lives
at las East street, Springfield, Ohio.
