fortunate this should be so. The whole

and has only TOO much reason to fear
that the commission is a body organized

COL Roosevelt showed himself TO be a
jingo Of the most advanced type in his
speech at Carnegie Music Hail in New
York on Wednesday evening. There was
great curiosity 10 hear what his FIRST ut
tcrance in this campaign would be- and
now that he has made #, Il IS safe TO say
that thousands are greatly disappointed
at 20.
1t was hoped by his admirers that he
would connno himself TO the old issues
between the political parties instead OF
jumping off to new ones The old issues
give quite enough scope for all the oner-
GIGS that he can bring into the campaign.

are disposed Of. he IS far from being as
astute as we thought him. The Republic

sound money or q debased dollar and If
It stands by the victory it won in that
contest and gives it's undivided attention

attention TO new issues. the cheap money
party may mend its hold and produce am
other condition Of affairs that will do the
business of the country incaiculable
harm.
We are sorry COL Roosevelt gave his
whole attention to the new questions that
he seems so much Interested in. He is all
wrong in wishing to magnify the coun-
ffy's position as fighting and interna-
uonal party; but whether right or wrong
this is not the time for making that the
prominent issue.
The battle for sound money has got TO
be fought over and Col. Roosevelt ought
TO give all of his attention t. that.

I'm a speech out West the other day
senator Foraker used this remarkable
language:
The great questions Of the hour are
what shall we do with Cuba? What shall
we do with Porto Rico, and what par
ticularly with the Philippines? SO far as
Cuba fs concerned there should be NJ
question whatever The Cuoans have
earned their independence. We have sol
EMMY declared not only that they are
free and Independent. but also tnat they
shall have a government Of their own
choosing. We must keep our promise,
and we will But this promise OF inde-
pendence TO Cuba does not apply 10 Porto
Rico or 10 the philippines. We took these
Islands by the conquest OF war ana they
are ours.
Here IS a bit Of artful lodging that
would have done credit to any pupil Of
Faein. We went TO war with Spain If
our declaration Of war meant anything.
not for the purpose Of making conquests,
but in the name Of humanity and in the
name Of liberty. We did not promise in
specific terms that we would not take
Porto Rico or the Philippines or any other
Of SPANS possessions, because those
Islands were not involved. But we did
lay down the great principle that this
was not TO be a war Of conquest, and
Senator Foraker's declaration put this
government in "A most humiliating. II not
disgraceful attitude.
According to Senator Foraker our de-
claration OF var was utterly insincere and
misleading. We went to war ostensibly

II has more than once been mentioned
in these columns from time TO time
that at the Chicago National Convention
OF 1895 there was o. well defined move
nent looking 20 the organization OF a
great national silver party and the nomi-
nation OF Senator Teller for the presi-
dency That movement had been on
foo, Tor several months antedating the
Chicago convention and eliminated az
that timo ana place. Nobody could tell
lust how serious would be the split in
the Democratic party and the plan was
that ii the opponents Of free silver
should bolt and so out On a body the
proposition 10 organize q national silver
party would then be sprung on the CON
vention and carried through or whipped.
1t was believed that the nomination OF
Mr. Teller would draw largely from the
Republican party and bring into the sill
yer party all Republicans who were in
favor OF free coinage and that the sil-
yerltes Of other parties would readily

whose object Is 10 promote the interests
OF free coinage recalls this incident and

Beauty, Health, YigCr.

The age OF woman is not marked b.
wears alone. The pinched face the
harsh voice, the angular form, the
hollow eyes, the irritable disposition
such are the indications OF premature
ace. MANY women are older at thirty
than Others arc at fifty. There are
manvills peculiar TO women, and nearly
an OF them are Of nervous character.
Possibly a delicate constitution may
have been inherited. Overwork and
worry may have brought on condition
of exhaustion which no amount OF rest
can overcome. Lack Of vitality means
weak or impure blood, and the slightest
exertion IS more eneryating to people
in such condition than hard and con-
tinuous labor 20 those In good health.
Poor blood fails 20 give proper nutri-
ton TO the nerves, and trifing annoy
ances are soon ma entitled. The slightest
noise becomes "a serious shock. a dis
agreeable word or a fancicd slight Is
looked upon MS some great sorrow.
Headaches become frequent Neurai-
giac pains are an almost uncomfortable

tensiics an other symptoms hyfW,tcr
