The People Believe
What They Read About Hoods
SarsapariIla
Their Faith in This Medicine is
Grounded on Merit
They Know II Absolutely curos
When other Medicines Fail

Hoods Sarsaparilla is not merely SIM
pie preparation Of Sarsaparilla, Dock,
Stillingia and little Iodide of Potassium.
Besides these excellent Alternatives, It
also contains those great anti-bilious and
liver remedies, Mandrake and Dandelion.
Il also contains those great kidney reme-
dies, IVA Ursi, Juniper Berries, and
Pipsissewa.
Nor are these all. Other very valuable
curative agents are tremendously COM
bined in Hoods Sarsaparilla, and 1t is
carefully prepared under the personal
supervision OF a regularly educated phar-
macist.
Knowing these facts, is the abiding faith
the people have in Hoods Sarsaparilla a
matter OF surprise? You can see why
Hoods Sarsaparilla cures, when other
medicines totally, absolutely fail.

eczema and suffered for seven years. She
was attended by physicians and tried
many different kinds OF medicine with

FIRE LOSS OF 100000.
Naval stores. Docks and Vessels
Burned at Brooklyn.

NEW YORK. Oct 24-Fire broke out
shortly after o'clock this afternoon at Pier
80, East river. Brooklyn and did damage
to the amount of half million dollars
Pier 80 adjoins the naval stores of George
L. Hammond, extending from CofTee to
Walcott street At Pier 80 the four-masted
British ship Andorenha was lying, discharg-
ing a cargo composed principally of Jute
butts. saltpeter, shellac and raw silk. "A
north wind famed the flames fiercely, and
in few minutes the water front for four
blocks. extending from Vandyke to Wal
colt street was ablaze. Three alarms and
special calls were sent out bringing to the
scene of the confiagration all the fire APP
paratuS in the lower half of the city, to-
gether with four fire boats from Manhat-
tan and two belonging to Brooklyn. Heavy
black smoke settled over the East river as
far north as Long Island sound and ex-
tended over the lower part of Brooklyn SO
1t became necessary. to light lamps IN Dusl-
ness houses.
Among the heaviest losses is that of Geo.
H. Hammond, owner of the naval stores
which is placed at 100000. The. Andorenha
is owned by f. w. Roberts. of Liverpool,
England and valued at 100000. She was
consigned to Rail- Brothers, commission
merchants. The blazing. vessel was towed
down to the Gowanuss flats and proDabiy
will prove a total loss. The Brooklyn
w MARI ana w warehouse Company, dSCCAdtuS
to the best estimates, will lose $780, 600. The
three-masted schooner Wacamaw, loaded
with benZine, alcohol and turpentine which
arrived from Georgetown, S. c., earlier IN
the day and WAS tied up at the foot of
Coffee street took, fire and was toWed out
into the stream. where the flames were ex-
tinguished without any great damage be-
ing done to the vessel. A large part of the
cargo of the Andorenha had been dis
charged, and when the fire started two
lighters were loaded with jute from her
hold and tied between Piers 80 and 40. The
loss to these lighters will be about $751; 600.
The inspector of the fire department to-
night said a number of the employees of the
Hammond stores declare the fire originated
however, say the fire started in the bales
of jute on the pier So rapidly did the fire
spread that the sailors aboard the craft
were compelled to jump into the water to
save themselves. The German American
stores had 500 bales OF cotton and $500 bales
of jute stored in Pier 80, all of which was
destroyed. The names of the owners of this
could not be learned 80

PRESIDENT AND PEOPLE.

The tens of thousands of people who lis
tened to the words of President Mckinley
the past two weeks applauded every ut
terance he made. The hundreds of thou
sands who did not hear those words and
who were not moved by the enthusiasm of
the presence of great crowds, but read his
speeches carefully and thoughtfully in their
homes or places of business, also approve.
The number who do not really approve is
small, and it is their business not to APP
prove. The people approve the utterances
of the President, not because he set forth
a definite policy or because he did not adj
init them to the latest developments of
diplomacy, but because he satisfied them
that he will do what is best for the Nation
and for those with whom this government
must deal. The people applauded because
they believe in William Mckinley They
trust his patriotism, his faith in Providence,
his humanity and his judgment With the
eioquence of cheers the people declared
faith in him; with the cool judgment Of
men removed from excited crowds the peo-
ole. as they meet, express confidence in the
President.
All other subjects than the honor and
the duty of the Nation in dealing with the
questions growing out of the war We're for
gotten by the President He spoke to the
whole people as their President, and the
chorus of applause was the approval of
the whole people. 1t was also warning
and rebuke to the constituencies dema-
gogues who. blind to the lessons of the
past, would split the people of this coun-
try into factions over the war and the
momentous questions growing out of it.
The hysterical yellow newspapers, the
demagogic organ that puts party success
above country the dyspeptic critic and the
makers of lies have had their day The
people heard in silence all that they had to
say TO the harm of the President. Now
they have heard the President, and their
approval of cheers is their answer to his
detractors. The people will stand by the
President until peace shall be confirmed and
the issues of the war shall be settled.

PERPETUAL OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.

The conspiracy of the Democratic mana
gers to disfranchse the veterans living in
the Marion Soldiers Home is causing gen.
erai Indignation. And so it should. Aft
er voting for ten years. the veterans who
have no other home will be deprived Of
the privilege of voting not only in the
precincts which include the home but they
cannot vote anywhere. There is not a man
in the home who has been there year
who can vote elsewhere than at the home
Fifty or sixty veterans who went from Ma
rion county to the home could not vote if
they should return to this county because
they have not lived in any precinct the
period required by law. In effect the con-
spiracy of Turpie and the Democratic
managers makes the 1900 men in the Ma
rion Home aliens because, so long as they
live there-and 80 per cent. will never leave
the home-they cannot vote
By the laws of Indiana the only voters
who are deprived of the right to vote are
the confirmed criminals who have been
found guilty of committing felony. If the
Turpe conspiracy succeeds. the veterans of
the Soldiers Home will be treated as only
the most desperate criminals are treated.
The criminals escape perpetual dis
REIMBURSEMENT by the exercise of the par
doning power. but the veterans of the
home will be disfranchised for life If their
poverty causes them to spend their lives
in the home. Hereafter. if this Demo-
cratic conspiracy shall succeed by the aid
of the Supreme Court, the poverty-stricken
veteran no longer able to earn his bread,
without home, will be forced to give up all
that is valuable in citizenship by going to
the home, unless he prefers the poorhouse.
1t is perpetual Acknowledgement that the
Turpie conspirators propose for men who
have served the Republic.
In Indiana to-day there are thousands of
old veterans who can tell of battles and
campaigns. who will, during the next few
years, be compelled to go to the Marion
Home or the poorhouse. 1t is no fault of
theirs. They have been Woodworking, tenn
perate men and good citizens, but as the
years pass they are less and less able to
labor. When no one will employ them or
when they become helpless they must go
to the home, which grateful nation has
established that they may end their days
in comfort. 1t has remained for the Dem
ocratic managers in Indiana to say to
these men: Poverty and helplessness may
drive you to the homes to end your days,
but when you go you can never vote
again.
And this infamy is the conspiracy of
David Turpie, Green Smith, Parks Martin
and other Democratic managers in Indiana.
If the conspirators can do it, they will force
the Supreme Court to become their ally.

The University of Michigan Alumni AS
ISOLATION desires to collect all the data pos
sible concerning the participation of its
graduates and students, past and present,
in the late, war with Spain. The university
has been prominently identified with the
war. Secretary Day is Michigan graduate
of 1870, and associated with him at present
on the board of peace commissioners at
Paris is Senator Cushman *. Davis an
other University of Michigan alumnus.
Three university professors enlisted. two as
surgeons, one as engineer in the navy. Sew
eral University of Michigan men gave up
their lives in the war, one of them at the
side of Colonel Roosevelt as the Rough Rid
ers went up the hill at San Juan. The
university is very DESTROYS that the record
be as nearly complete as possible. even down
to the most minute scrap of information.
To this end any person who can furnish
the slightest intelligence upon the subject
is respectfully urged to forward it to the
proper authorities Names of men who en-
listed, their regiments and stations, class
in the university experiences they may
have had in the course of the war, names
of women students who volunteered as
nurses, and other similar notes would all
form suitable items. 1t is hoped that Mich
igan graduates and the public generally will
respond promptly to this request, and that
nothing may be omitted for fear that it
shall be regarded unimportant by the
university. Address all communca tiOns on
the subject to James III. Prentiss, alumni
secretary, Ann Arbor, Mich.

Resented by Soldiers.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
/ see from your columns that the leaders
of the Democratic party in Indiana are
striving TO disfranchise the old veterans
in the Soldiers Home at Marion on the
ground, first, the home is on government
realty, and, second, that those men in the
home are paupers. We know through Maj.
Steele that this home was ceded back to
the State by Congress. and so the status
of the home is the same as the Dayton
home, where the veterans are accounted
worthy to vote. We enter denial on the
second proposition. While we admit the in
mates are poor in the sense of owning
realty and property, yet they are not
paupers. The great number are poor on
account of wounds and disease contracted
in the United States service. rendering them
unable to earn living by manual labor.
They are not forced to seek the hospitality
or the Nation, but Uncle Sam has made
provision for the comforts of the defenders
OF the country and invited such to come if
they choose, so there is no cOmpulsiOn. All
the soldiers, including the men who are yet
In the service in the last war, feel that
these politicians are attempting a great in
Justice to the veterans as well as humiliat-
ing them before their fellow-citiZens. These
leaders are following in the wake of their
ancestors, who tried to disfranchise the SOL
diers in 1864. No greater infamy could at
tach to man or party than opposition to
the Nation in her struggle in a sanguinary
conflict for the peace and honor as well as
perpetuity. This effort of Mr. Turpe and
Leon Bailey to build themselves up at the
expense of the soldiers of the country is
causing the soldiers of this community to
pledge anew their loyalty to the country and
their unqualified condemnation to all men
and parties who attempt to SANDER and de-
grade these unfortunate defenders of our
flag. SOLDIER.

OPINIONS OF OLD-sTYLE DEMOCRATS

Hambleton & Co., of Baltimore, is one of
the oldest banking houses in the country.
Its sign was out before the war for the
Union. 1t is composed of men who have al
ways been Democrats, a large part of its
business being in the South. If the party
were standing by the platform of 1892 the
members of the firm of Hambleton & Co.
would be supporting the Democratic lead
ers. Instead of that this house of business
men is opposed to the managers who now
control the party.
In its circular of last Saturday this Balti-
more house contrasts the imports from
Great Britain 10 the United States and our
exports to that country during the fiscal
years 1896, 1887 and 1898, to show that the
United States is becoming independent OF
other nations in that we are manufacturing
more and more of the goods we consume.
while Great Britain and other nations which
cannot raise their own food produce
cotton and mineral oils are more dependent
on us as the years pass Hambleton & Co.
are doubtless free traders, and therefore.
do not see the underlying cause of the de-
crease in the values Of British goods sold
In the United States. which is the differ
ence between the Democratic tariff of 1896
and the Republican tarIf IN force during
the fiscal year which ended June %, 1875.

If Mayor Taggart is at a loss to explain
why it is that the IL o. clock and Sunday
closing ordinances are ignored by the
saloons during his administration he can
get pointer from Mayor Harrison, of Chi
cage. When a delegation of church people
demanded to know why the closing law was
not enforced there the mayor blandly ex-
planned that a saloon properly managed
was of no more injury to a community after
midnight than before that hour. In other
words, he is his own judge of law. and if
he doesn't approve of any particular meas
ure he simply cancels it to all intents and
purposes. That is precisely what Mayor
Taggart does, and he ought to acknowledge
it with as much nerve as Harrison.

APPLE CROP SHORT.
Only 27,OOO,OO0 Bushels This Year,
Against 7O.0OO,OOO I'm 1896.

CHICAGO, Oct. 24-The Orange Judd
Farmer tomorrow will say: The apple
crop of the United States is smaller than
1t has been since reliable statistics have
been collected. The total supply from the
1898 crop of the United States is q. 700 900
barrels, compared with something over 49,
100000 last year. and 70OOO.OOO i'm the record
breaking crop of 1896. The failure is wide
spread, reaching from the Pacific coast to
the Maine coast, and in none of the States
does the output of fruit approach an av-
erage. In the great apple States OF the
West the crop is almost an absolute fail
ure. although the situation in Michigan is
better than elsewhere. having about two
thirds of the bumper crop of 1896. New
York has only one-fifth of a full crop. The
failure is attributed to the fact that dur
ing the blooming season there was ex-
cessive rainfall, which washed out the poll
en- and prevented proper fertilization by
insects, while a cold wave added to the
injury, and subsequent moist, humid
weather was very favorable to the develop
ment of fungous disease The Ontario crop
is decidedly short. The crop OF Europe is
reported below the normal.

The history of the United States shows
that it has been one of continual national
expansion At the end of the revolutionary
war, in 1888, the Union consisted of thirteen
States, all bordering on the Atlantic coast.
Three of these States. Virginia, North Caro-
lima and Georgia, extended from the At
lantic ocean to the Mississippi river, beyond
which lay the Spanish possessions. By 1870
the Territory of Tennessee had been formed
out of the western part of North Carolina,
the State of Kentucky out of the western
part of Virginia and the great Northwestern
Territory had been created. Georgia still
extended from the Atlantic ocean to the
Mississippi river. BY 1903 the States of
Ohio. Kentucky and Tennessee had been
formed, and the Territory of Mississippi
out of the western part of Georgia. In that
year we acquired the vast Louisiana Ter
ritory west of the Mississippi. Between 1903
and 1910 nine new States were admitted. In
1915 Florida, previously acquired from SPAIN
and Texas, acquired from Mexico, were ad-
mitted as States. Between 1915 and 1860 the
States of Iowa, Wisconsin, California, Min
nesota and Oregon all originally acquired
from foreign powers. were admitted, and
from 1860 to 1896 twelve more States acquired
in like manner were admitted. Alaska was
purchased in 1867, and Hawaii and Porto
Rico were annexed in. 1898. The first census
of the United States, taken in 1870. showed
the total population of the country to be
1923, 1927. 1t increased to 5,305937 in 1900, to
Oh 791 in 1910 to % 191 SIG in 1850 and to g.
622 $50 in 1890. Yet there are people who talk
as if national expansion were a novel and
dangerous idea -.t

Attorneys John A. Kersey. Christ Cor
don and Green Smith yesterday filed the
brief in the Supreme Court for the Demo-
cratic obstructionists in the Marion Sol
diers Home case. The document is built
up almost entirely the assertion of the
attorneys that the act of Congress ceding
back to the State jurisdiction over the Sol
diers Home property is unconstitutional
and the right of Congress to deed away
government rights over government reser-
vations is open to question. In touching
on a parallel case in Ohio, in which the
same contention was made in the case OF
the Dayton Soldiers Home the attorneys
for the appellants claim that while the Su-
preme Court of Ohio affirmed the decision
of the lower court that the State of Ohio
could by authority of the general govern
ment exercise jurisdiction over the reser-
walton, the action of the court was without
precedent and absurd The oral argument
on the appeal will be heard Oct q. The at
torneyS for the inmates of the Soldiers
Home have not as yet filed their brief.
