Now that the war has come to sue
cessful close, and the yelping herd OF
yellow journals, war correspondents, army
chaplains and other non-combatants have
nearly exhausted themselves by their
criticisms and vindictlve
falsehoods concerning President Mckin-
lev. Secretary Alger, Secretary Long,
Admiral Sampson, General Miles, Gen-
eral Sbafter. General Merritt, Surgeon
General Sternburg and nearly every
other official who has played prominent
part in the war-Dewey has been prac-
t;cally exempt because he isso far away
now that splendid victory has been won'
and that by the efforts and exertions OF
these same maligned officials, backed 10y as
fine a body of soldiers and sailors as the
world ever saw, it is about time that
these self-constituted critics, these yell
pers at the heels of men whose shoe
latchets they are unworthy to unloose,
should withdraw behind the curtain and
take back seat and keep their ill-man-
nered mouths closed while the people do
honor to their heroes. In the civil war,
Grant was reported to be drunk on the
field of battle and President Lincoln said
he wished some others of his generals
had the same kind of liquor. So Shafter
is said to have lost his head at Santiago
but General Toral and his army surren'
dered just the same. The people are not
concerned about the unjust criticisms t6
| which these brave men have been sub
iected any more than they are concerned
about division of honors among them
The result has been to place the Unitec
States before the world in her true ligh'
and to cause this nation to be recognized
as one of the leading nations of the earth
second to none, and to cause our flag to b'
respected as it never was before. Ther'
is honor enough to 60 round, enough
for all who had hand in this "famou
victory;" the people awardit history vii
confirm it.

The Climate Of the Philippines.

In regard to the climate which for
eigner encounters It is easy to exagger-
ate its discomforts Although it is
tropical, still even in summer the cli-
mate may be called healthy. From De-
cember to March there are warm days,
with cool nights and little rain. Dur
ing March, April and May the days are
hot, dry and dusty, while the thermom-
eter rises TO 90 degrees at noon, but the
nights are not uncomfortable. In the
latter part of May and of June there are
thunderstorms every afternoon with a
tremendous downpour of rain. The
greatest heat occurs in these months,
the thermometer rising frequently to
105 degrees in the shade. July, August
and September are the months of the
great typhoons, and while Manila es-
capes the greatest fury of these still
enough of their force remains TO demol-
ish many houses. During October and
November storms lessen in frequency
and severity, and the weather gradual.

HOTEL CLOCKS ALWAYS TRUE

upon There are too many watches in
a hotel-good watches, watches whose
absolute correstness means money to
the commercial men who regulate the
travelling life of this country. A lying
clock would be spotted in a quarter of
a second, and the unhappy clerk
scourged with pitiless sarcasms there
for. In the course of my wanderings

In the homes of my friends. Having

The enormous balance of trade which
this country has enjoyed during the last
twelve months has resulted in the largest
importations of gold in the history of
the country. Under the operations of
the Wilson law, when the democratic
party was in power in all the branches
of the government, the opposite of this
statement was true. The largest exports
of gold ever known in the history of the
country occurred during the twelve
months of the fiscal year ending June
80, 1895.

FAIR PLAY IN THE THEArER.
How . Little Woman siienced VOL
uble Neighb0r who Tried 10
Annoy Her.

II was only by-play at the theater
the other evening, but 1t was enter
tanning to limited portion OF the au-
dience, says the Detroit Free Press.
Behind the little lady with dimin-
utive hat that had it's chief beauty in
It's daintainess, sat a member OF the
sex with Amazonian proportions and
voluble tongue. In brief interrnis-
sion of chattering TO those about her
she happened to look down and espy
the pretty headgear which was clear
foot below her range of vision with
the stage. But it was tempting op-
portunity.
"Will you kindly remove your hat?"
asked the one in the rear, as she
leaned forward and spoke in noisy
whisper.
Certainly" answered the one In
front, as che made rather vicious
plunge for the anchoring pin. II Will
kindly take off my hat. Will you
kindly stop your talking and permit
us to hear this play|
For full five minutes there was un-
broken silence. But it was greater
sef-restraint than the large woman
could endure and her annoying whis-
perings again began. Suddenly the one
in front stuck the little hat upon the
very summit of her head and pinned
IL there. II seemed to have grown
taller and of greater circumference
and looked just like defiant chal'
lenge worked into artistic millinery.
The large woman was too mad to
talk and there was suppressed litter
ing while those around beamed on the
little woman and were sore tempted
TO give her a hand by way of applause

Republican State Convention.

Detroit, Mich. July %, 1895.
To the republican electors OF the state
of Michigan: -.
The state convention of the republl-
cans of Michigan is hereby called to
meet at the Light Guard armory, In the
city of Detroit, on Wednesday, the 2lst
day of September, 1898, at ii o'clock a..
NJ. for the purpose of nominating candi-
dates for state offices; and for the pur-
pose of selecting chairman of the state
central committee and two members
thereof from each congressional district,
and the transaction of such other busl-
ness as may properly come before the
convention.
The delegates from the several coun-
ties in each congressional district are
requested to meet in district caucus at
lOo'clock a. m., on the day of the state
convention, and select candidates as FOL
lows. to be presented TO the state con-
yention for confirmation:
Two members of the state central
committees;
One vice president;
One assistant secretary;
One member each of the committees on
credentials" permanent organization
and order of business" and resolutions
and to transact such other business
as they may deem necessary.
Under the resolutions of 1898, no dele
gate will be entitled to seat in the con
yention who does not reside in the coun
ty he proposes to represent.
In accordance with the resolutions o.
1876. every county will be entitled to one

One more quotation might be added
to the above price list, although the
American farmer can bless his good for
tune that it is not one of his products.
Mexican dollars were worth 30 cents in
United States money, August 10, 1897
and 40 cents, August 10, 1898, fall of 20
per cent in one year.
From comparison of the above prices
it will be seen that with the exception of
wheat and hay, farmers are getting con-
siderably better prices now than one
year ago. The remarkable advance in
wheat last summer and fall was the re-
suit of general failure of the crop in
Europe thus producing an unusual de-
mand. Europe's necessity last season
proved to be the American farmers op-
portunity enabling many of them to
square up their indebtedness. If wheat
therefore is IL cents cheaper than it was
last August, the farmers are in much
better shape to stand the reduction or
to hold their crops for better prices
while their exceptionally large supply OF
this cereal will yield them large return
in cash, even though they sell for less
price than year ago. In August, 1894
wheat was selling at 571sc; in 1895, al
7214c; in 1896, at 63Ac.
Unquestionably the agricultural inter
ests of the United States are in much
more satisfactory condition to-day thar
they have been since the panic of 1893
The farmers have been economizing, pay
ing off mortgages and liquidating Their
Indebtedness until they are once more
able to assume their old time independ
ence. The good crops and fair prices o
1897 relieved them from the burden o.
of Indebtedness that had been weighing
them down; and the still better crops anC
generally better prices of 1898 will Sc
them once more upon the high road t
prosperity.

The Outlook for Our Farmers.

From the Detroit Free Press:
A comparison of the prices for farm
products prevailing one year ago with
current prices for the same articles ought
to be, on the whole, very comforting to
our farmers and to business interests
generally. Here is price list taken from
the local market quotations for August
10, 1897, and the corresponding day for
1923.

THE CAMDEN EMBRACERY.
Stnl Investigating the Cause of the
shaw MIStrial.


shaw Mistrlal.
Camden, n. j., Jan. 22.-The grand
jury yesterday began Its investigation
of the causes, founded upon allegations
of embracery, which lay behind the mis-
trial of Eli Shaw on the charge of muir
dering his mother and grandmother.
Attorney General Grey conducted the
inquiry, which win be resumed on Mon
day. Those connected with the in
Vestigation refused to make any state
ments. Rumor, however, alleged that
the cause of the mistrial grew out of
a dispute which took place some months
ago between Juror Schiller and Henry
S. ScQvel, attorney for Eli Shaw. SEQ
vel is alleged to have asked Schiller to
forget the past and not bear him any
enmity, and this, according to report.
is alleged to have been the reason that
started the chain of events leading up
to the mistrial From those in a po-
stion to know, however, information
was secured a short time ago which
indicates that, though the facts related
as to the relationship between Schiller
and Scovel may be true, the mistrial
was based on much graVer charges.

MANENTLY BY CURING THE CAUSE.
Remarkable Remedy Which is Bringing
Comfort to Thousand of Sufferers.

Probably half the people who see this article
suffer from piles. 1t is one of the commonest
diseases and one of the most obstinate. People
have it for years and just because it is not inn
mediately fatal they neglect it. Carelessness
causes no end of suffering. Carelessness about
so simple a thing as piles has often caused
death. Hemonhages occur during surgical
treatment, often causing death.
Piles are simple in the beginning and easily
cured, They can be cured even in the worst
stages, without pain or loss of blood, quickly,
surely and completely There is only one
remedy that will do it-Pyramid Pile Cure.

DO 1T YOURSELF

You can tell just as well as n physician
whether your kidneys are diseased or healthy.
The way to do is to take bottle or glass tum-
bier, and fill it with urine. If there is a
sediment-a powder-like substance-at the
bottom after standing dsy and night, there
is something wrong with the kidneys. An
other sure sign of disease is desire to urinate
often, and still another sign is pam in the
back. If urine stains linen. there is no doubt
that the kidneys are affected.
Any and all diseases of the kidneys, liver,
bladder and of the urinary passages and con
stipation of the bowels are cured by DIR
David Kennedy's Favorite Remedy. There
is no question about its being the b ,st and
surest medicine in the world for such oubles.
1t quickly relieves and cures inability to hold
urine, and people, young or old, who take it
are not compelled to get up a nu lber of
times during the night. For putting an end
