WAMPOLE'S
PREPARATION,

of the nutritive properties Of Pure
Cod Liver Oil, with Hypophosphites,
Malt and Wild Cherry. 1t makes fat
which is like fuel to the system; is
scientifically combined, and specific
for Fevers, Bowel Complaints, De-
bility and wasting diseases. There is
no bad taste to 1T. You get all the
curative properties of the cod liver
oil, but not whit of its offensiveness.
How different from the old-fashioned
mixturesl Well, the world moves, and
this remedy illustrates the fact. 1t is
ascientitic modern combination of the
best of curatives made palatable as
honey. Sold by all chemists.
OF the multitudes who have used our
preparation, or are now using 1t, we have
never heard OF any one who has been dis
appointed in it. No claims are made for
1t except those which are amply JUSTIFIED
by experience. In commencing 1t to the
afflicted we simply point to its record. 1t
has done great things and 1t is certain to
continue the excellent work. There is-we
may honestly affirm no medicine which can
be used with greater and more reasonable
confidence. 1t nourishes and keeps up the
strength during those periods when the ap
petite fails and food cannot be digested.

GLADSTONE.

The death of William Ewart Glad
stone is more than the close of life,
if is the close of an era. 1t is usual
" said that however great man may
be, there are always those who can
replace him. but once in a while some
towering personality rises, which
never can be replaced, and though the
work of the nation may be carried on,
the transcendent genius which inspir-
ed it, is lost. and it is not done in the
manner it should be done. Such men
were Caesar. William Pitt, Washing
ton and Gladstone. One can rank
Gladstone among the greatest of
mankind. Like all great men he
committed faults, how grave those
were, posterity only can judge. Con
temporaneous criticism is ever bitter,
and is frequently misjudging, but the
greatness of the man, the loftiness Of
his aims, the purity of his principl IS,
even his btterest enemies could net
impugn and must stand barehealcd
before.
In other columns the details of this
great mans life will be given. II
books his acts will be weighed, but
at the moment when his death is n
nounced one can only feel the f.ct
that brilliant career has come to an
honored end. He had an intense love
of liberty, and when in power used it
for the benefit not only of his own
race, but of every race that was down
trodden and oppressed. Gladstone
was, probably, as grand an example
of the education and civilization OF
England, as we shall ever see. He
was essentially English and he was
essentially an English gentleman. The
good that he has done will carry his
name down in the scroll of history to
the utmost limit of time. He belong
ed to his country, but he had the hon
or and esteem of very wide world.
A truly great man has gone.

ANNEXATION.

The annexation news by this mail
is remarkably encouraging. The an
nexationists are strong in both hous-
es, and on May 18th the majority re-
port in favor of the movement was
made by the committee of the House
of Representatives. There is minor
ity report of four members, while the
majority is ten. The friends of annex
alton in the Senate say they will not
pass the revenue bill until the House
sends over the Newlands resolution,
and that is strong card in favor of
annexation.
The make up of the vote in the af-
firmative consisted of eight Republic
cans, one Democrat and one Silver
Republican. The opponents We're all
Democrats. The Democrat who voted
for it was Colonel Berry of Kentucky,
who was here with the Congressional
party last summer.
AS the question now stands the adj
ministration is supporting, the meas
ure with its whole strength, and the
administration leaders are determin-
ed to force the measure through. The
fact that Honolulu has to be used as
a coaling station on the way TO Ma
Mia is going to disarm "A number of
members who have been opposed to
annexation. 1t has in fact proved the
most valuable of object lessons.
1t may be said that there was never
better chance for speedy action to
be taken than there is now. The
House and the Senate are ripe for the
action, and many newspapers which
were opposing us are now coming
forward in favor of annexation.

REVOLUTIONS.

The conditions in Southern Europe
are eminently unsatisfactory either
from the. standpoint of humanity or
which is much less important, the
standpoint of the ruling powers. 1t
is an extraordinary thing that the
three farest peninsulas of Europe, the
three peninsulas which in part era
died and in part supplied the wealth
and strength of the Roman Republic,
and subsequently of the Empire,
should at the present day present such
a spectacle of misery and misrule as
they all do.
Turkey is the disgrace of Europe,
and is acknowledged as such. 1t is
only the jealousy of contending and
ambitious nations that keeps what
Gladstone called the "Unspeakable
Turk" in Europe. But he has, in
spite of his misrule, in spite of his
cruelties and oppression, in spite OF
the fact that he despises the institu-
tions and religion of the stronger ma
tons around him, held his own firm
fy and dominated not only over the
eastern peninsula, but over the fair.

est of the isles of Greece" and to
this day his muezzin calls the faith
full to prayer in the building which
Justinan raised to the glory of the
Savior.
At the other end of the Mediterra-
mean we have the utter misrule OF
Spain. \ country whose people live
upon the greatness of a past in medic
val history, which is by no means a
credit to them. \ country which for
centuries has been the home of bigDt-
ry and superstition, whose history is
stained with crimes done under the
name of religion. and one which eveh
today has so mismanaged the lands
which are under its sway, that the
most peaceful and law abiding of the
nations has risen and said this ms
rule at our doors shall cease, and
when it did not cease plunged into
war in the name of humanity.
There did appear some hope for It
ally during the sixties and seventies,
but under the later scion of the
House of Savoy, she seems to have
been going from bad to worse, till at
the present writing the country is in
state of semi-revolution. The troub-
| lie with Italy has been the ambition
| of her rulers. She has kept up a
| large army and navy out of all Nro-
! ton to her needs, and to do this has
ground down her unfortunate people
with taxation. Except in Bohemia
and parts of Spain there is not a
peasantry in the whole of Europe sc
miserably poor as is to be found in
Italy. and yet in spite of the frightful
poverty the tax gatherer had to wiring
his dole from the starving peasant
Instead of devoting itself to the de.
velopment of the country Che Italian
government has wasted its hard gain
ed income upon ambitious schemes OF
African colonization. The money that
might have been spent in roads and
public improvements in Calabria and
Sicily, has been wasted in Abyssinia
and the young men who should
by their labor have titled the fields o.
the peninsula, are rotting corpses il
African battle fields.
The disaffection in Italy extends
from one end of the Peninsula to the
other and apparently permeates al
classes. 1t is the elimination of years
of discomfort and has shown itselt
equally bitter in Milan, in Rome and
in Naples.
Viewing the whole question it is APP
parent that mankind will stand mis-
rule for years, but the inevitable last
straw is laid on and then the popu
lace rises and rends its rulers. We
must regard ourselves as fortunate tC
! live where there is no oppression
where taxes are light and where we
can carry on our legitimate business
undisturbed by the echoes of wars
and rebellons, which occur in less ia
vored spots.

THE WORLD MOVES,

We have only to go back to the
time Of Charles l. to come upon the
discovery Of the circulation of the
blood. To day we understand that
the life of the body is in the blood,
and that Impurities in it are the seeds
of disease. Whatsoever improves the
digestion and stimulates the Liver,
Lungs and Kidneys, drives out these
impurities, or disease germs, and en-
riches the blood, and is, therefore, the
source of health and strength. Thus
far in the history of medicine nothing
has been so successful in this as

The situation Plainly Stated.

On the heels of definite news that
the first actual battle of the war had

the destruction of the Spanish feet
and the probable capture of the town,
and while thousands of men were
marching to camp preparatory to en-
barking upon foreign invasion, the

source in London which has never
scored a miss on the situation since the
trouble between America and Spain be-
came serious. The theory of the bull
sentiment thus transmitted does not
seem hard to guess at. Without any
question, it is that even Spain, with her
Asiatic fleet wiped out in a mornings
discussion, and her rich Eastern pos
session in the hands Of the foe, must
see that it would be only madness to
think Of continuing a fight the result

AN EARLY ADJOURNMENT
The Temper of the House is Agains t
Such "a pIRn.

The question of the carly adjournment
of Congress is being quietly but system
atcally aGitated in the House of Repre-
sentatives. 1t is entirely a movement of
the bosses, and has not yet commended
itself to the members generally of either
side of the House
The projectors of this early adjourn
ment scheme attach one condition to the
suggestion they are whispering TO the
House; that is, that the bill to authorize
the issue of $500 600 900 bonds shall be
passed before the matter of final adjourn
ment shall be formally presented. They
say that with such liberal provision the
Executive Department will be fully able
to conduct the war until the reassembiing
of Congress next December.
1t is apparent that the House is in no
temper to consider the question of ad-
Stion will meet with considerable opposi-
tion unless events of the immediate fu-
ture shall point to an early conclusion
of the war.
The Democrats, Populists and Silver
Republicans are practically unanimous
against adjournment under existing con-
ditions. They say that it is the duty of
Congress to remain in session and CO.
operate with the Executive Depart ment in
the vigorous prosecution of the war The
sober Judgment of the best men of all
parties is that the best interests of the
country demand a continuance OF the

what VIII the Kaiser Do.

There is some mystery as to exactly
what may be the motive of the Ger
man Kaiser in Withholding a procIa-
nation Of neutrality between America
and Spain. Diplomatic opinion in
Washington and elsewhere is very
much inclined to the theory that the
Far Eastern question has more TO do
with il than anything else. 1t may be
taken for granted that anything like
a permanent occupation of the Philip
pine Islands by US would be objected
to and very likely resented in the
courts and cabinets of continental Eu-
rope.
There can be no doubt that our
peculiar position in Asiatic waters Of
fers a chance for diplomatic, if not
more serious difficulties. The jealousy
with which the different powers regard
the acquisition of Eastern territory by
each other, the fear that an American
seizure Of the Philippines might pos
sibly lead to a coalition of America,
Great Britain and Japan for common
purposes on that side of the world,
and perhaps other reasons, combine
tc make the continental powers great
ly watchful Of our present movements.
There is Not any sufficient occasion
for this. The only thing of a perma-
nent character that we require in the
neighborhood Of the Asiatic coast is
coaling station. Rich and productive
as the Philippines are, it would not
accord either with our history or
policy TO annex them, while we might
hold them for a time as security for
war indemnity. just as we might cap
ture and hold the Canaries. Once hay
ing performed our duty in expelling
Spain from the Western Hemisphere,
freeing Cuba and Porto Rico, and col
lecting the expense of the service to
civilization and humanity, we should
probably not think of hanging on to
distant islands unconnected with the
affairs of our continent.
Perhaps the Kaiser knows this, but
wonders who would get the Philip
pines by purchase from us; because
We should doubtless have to sell them
in order TO raise an indemnity fund,
and that is where the actual trouble
might arise. Great Britain is never
averse to first-class territory, while the
longing eye with which Japan looks
toward Manila is amply notorious, and
shines with increased desire and hope
since the Mikado has lost his chance
of taking the Hawaiian islands.
In some such way as we have hinted
the friction between the military ma
tions Of Europe may yet bring on the
world struggle for which everybody
has been preparing, but with fear and
trembling for the unknowable conse-
quences. No one can guess where it
might end.

TERRIBLE FIGHTING MACHINE.
The New Orleans May Prove the Most
Formidable Ship of Her Glass.

New York. May 2.-The third-rate cruis
er Topeka arrived at the navy yard from
her anchorage in the Narrows this after
noon al o'clock. She was tied up at the
wharf left vacant by the New Orleans.
She will have her guns mounted and may
possibly be put in dry dock for repairs.
Everyone at the yard was in a jubi-
liant frame of mind over Commodore Dew
ey's victory al Manila. One of the OFF,
GERS said:
He is dangerous man 10 tackle and
a handy fellow in tight. The Spaniat }
did not know the sort of man they had
to do with. He ran right into their har-
Dor with his whole fleet and laughed at
their mines and defenses. Dewey is well
supplied with coal from his colliers and
the reports that he will run short are alb
surd.
The Yankee went to the coal wharf to-
day and the Prairie was moved up along
side the wharf. where some of her five
inch rides Were hoisted aboard 1t is ex-
pected now that the Yankee and Prairie
will sail on THURSDAY
The cruiser New Orleans. which left the
yard Saturday, is likely to prove very
effective fighting machine. Her guns are
OF the latest pattern made by the Arm
strong Company. Their merits include an
improved breech-loading mechanism
which permits of very rapid firing and a
great Increase of muzzle energy over
the guns of four or five years ago. The
increase in velocity is due TO the greater
length of the guns and improved powder
It is said that she may prove herself sr-
perlor to any ship of her displacement
now ailoat. The normal coal supply of
the New Orleans is 700 tons. and her
speed 2l.o5 knots
