The senate is reported to have a
private understanding, made yes
terday at the home Of one of the
members of that august body, to
the effecl that if Mckinley turns a
straw from the vigorous policy he
has intimated to be that of the adj
ministration in the near future,
they, the senate, would force the
issue by the recognition of Cuba.
If the senate recognized Cuba, it
will be about the first good thing it
has done for many moons, aud the
people might even be willing to let
it continue for awhile as a part of
the government, even if only as an
ornament.

What an elegant excuse the war
scare is for the congressman who
have promised that certain bills
shall be enacted by this congress.
They can now say that the all per-
vading danger to the country was
of course their first and great con-
sideration, and can appeal to the
patriotism of their constituents for
any seeming lack of success in leg
islating for their district. 1t is a

This country does not need an
alliance with England or any other
country. In case of hostilities with
Spain we will be abundantly able to
take care of ourselves. The inter
vention of any of the European
countries in SPANS behalf is not
considered possible. Each one OF
them is busy watching some other
one. They will not permit their
vigilance in that direction to be In
terfered with to assist Spain main
tain it's dominion in this or any
other continent, knowing that if the
time should come for reciprocity,
Spain either would not or could not
return the favor. If there is war
between United States and Spain, it
will remain between those two
countries, with but one termination,
the triumph of the truth and right
which this time is certainly on the
side of this nation.

Whether it has been right or might

our nation. Having both, there
can be no reason why again we will

WEDNESDAY MAR. IS, 1898.

One of the most infamous laws
that could be put upon the statute
books of any state is that providing
that a portion of the fine for certain
misdemeanors shall go to the in
former. Such a law can do nothing
but create trouble; such provision
will never secure.the better enforce
ment of any law. 1t simply pro-
yides means of blackmail for scores
of blackguards in every state who
are too lazy to work, and have not
the nerve to steal. A good law will
have the sentiment of the people
back of its enforcement; bad law
should never be bolstered up by
crowd OF fellows whose one uellSnl
is to make trouble for their neigh
bors-for a consideration. We trust
that all such laws upon the statute
books of this state will be repealed
by the next Legislature, and the en-
forcement of the laws placed in the
hands of the officials of the state
whose duty is to secure the prompt
and complete obedience OF the peo-
pie to all provisions of the code en-
acted for their government and
guidance.

A legislature will be elected this
summer. That legislature will
elect a United States senator. 1t
will also have legislation of the
greatest importance before it. 1t
is imperative that the best men in
the district be. sent to this legisla-
ture. It is unfortunate that the
salary will scarcely justify any bus
mess man in leaving his business
for the amount he will receive from
serving the state in this capacity,
but there should be sense of pa
triotism in the matter that would
compel our very best people to sut-
fer even a sacrifice to take this po-
sition. After while the salary will
be greater, but as it is, we trust the
representation from the twodistricts
in which oul city is situated will be
the very best man in them.

From the court news as published
in the various papers of the state, it
seems as if the speak-easy has be-
come a state institution. Nearly
every county has been visited by it,
and it is idle to say that when this
institution once visits county its
home is not permanently taken up
there. Perhaps change in the
whole revenue system of the state
might be a good thing. 1t would
at least be better than speak-easies.

that there would be no war
with Spain. We still believe so.
We can not believe that the Span
ish people, bankrupt, with their
army exhausted with the rebellions
in Cuba and the Philippine Islands
would dare a war with a nation OF
the power and resources of the
United States. There can be but
two reasons assigned for SPANS
meeting the issues fairly on the
battle field. One is the last effort
OF the people in power in that
country to maintain their suprema-
cy. There is no question but that
the popularity of the Austrian
house is rapidly waning. The
Carlists are gaining ground. Any
extreme measure that will cause the
nation to flock to the support OF
the reigning dynasty will be &C
cepted by them as a last resort.
They would plunge their nation in
to any sort of war rather than see
the power crumble beneath their
feet. This is one reason why we
may have a war with Spain. The
other is the possibility of securing
assistance from other European
nations. For a few days the re-
ports looked as if such a consum-
nation might be possible, and even
probable. But later comes the
more substantial announcement
that whatever moral support the
nations of the other continent might
give the Dons, the assistance would
be limited to such moral support,
and as this does not buy arms or
equipments or settle pay rolls, 1t
does not amount to anything.
This being true, there is but one
reason why we need expect war
with Spain, and that is the condi-
ton OF Spain itself. That might
force the country into war with the
United States. We do not believe
it, and will only join in the process
sion of yellow journals, which have
been fighting the battles of such a
war for weeks, when we have to.
In the meantime, we will 60 right
on booming prosperity of the best
town on the river, and are trying tc
get the new glass works and new
railroad in running order.

neys. Mr.. Pitchard tells you how
he cured his. Read what he says:
II served several months over
my term of three years in Co. A.
9th West Virginia during the war,
and it is to the exposure and hard
ships endured then that I attribute
the trouble I have with my kidneys.
My back was so sore and weak that
were I to stop or sit for awhile l
could scarcely straighten up again.
7 could not rest at nights and so
restless that I rolled about in bed
for hours trying to get position in
which I could rest. I suffered a
great deal from backacRes and spells
of dizziness and often when l got
up I would be almost totally blind
for a time. The kidney secretions
were highly colored, scanty, and
contained sediment. l had tried a
great many remedies but was never
able to get any positive relief until
1 saw Doan's Kidney Pills highly
recommended when I got box at
a drug store. They helped me at
once and 1 continued their use TN.
til they cured me. Up to date l
have had no trouble with my kid
ueys. l can sleep well all night

he was was forced to ask the aid Of
a more competent workman. He
failed also, and some one suggested
the employment of a local celebrity
"a sort of tinker of any mechani-
cal job. There is certainly one in
every locality. He gave two or
three raps with his hammer and
touched up a rod or two, when the
pounding or whatever allied the ma
chine ceased. When asked to make
out his bill it read as. follows:
