A PHYSICIANS ENDORSEMENT.

We are very glad to learn that some of the best doctors in the country are agreeing with us as to the great efficacy of Vinol. The fol- lowing is an extract from letter written by W. H. Currier, M. D., of Pittsfeld, Mass. He says:-
 'I wish you could know how highly I en- dorse Vinol. I have had ample time since Vinol was first brought to my attention to notice the gratifying results that were ob- tained by its use. I think that all that is necessary for you to do is to have physicians throughout the land fully understand the con- position of Vinol, and in my opinion there will not be single conscientious doctor alive who will not prescribe it and endorse it as highly as have."
 Tn fact tha Vinol, the great modern tonic reconstruction contains all the active curative principles ot the cod's liver and has most delicious taste, accounts for it's great popu- arity. Yours very truly,
 w. H. CAMP,
 Special Vinol representative.

only little more than usual. The bulletin
boards attract increased attention. There
are occasionally. a few shouts OF Joy ~
some announcement is made showing the
completeness of the victory at Manila or
indicating the progress Of the campaign
in Cuban waters. No armed men appear On
the streets. The first great pulsation of en-
thusiasm over the American success has
passed, leaving the people calmly gratified
and ready for more revelations. If it were
otherwise, If the battle of Manila had
proved disastrous to the American forces,
the news would have been received with
silent regrets. There would have been no
rioting. no cursing. no public condemnation
of anybody. The people would have ac-
cepted the situation philosophically and
hoped for better things later. Nothing
would be heard about cabinet changes, or
revolutions. or even Of angry demonstra-
tions.
Thus the two capitals today afford an
instructive object lesson in national tenn
peraments.

No OrientnIism in This War.

A London correspondent who accompani-
ed the victorious Turkish army during the
recent war with Greece declares that 1t Is
fare never to follow up one victory with
another. No matter how crushing a blow
was delivered to the enemy, the Turkish
soldiers were invariably Withdrawn to their
base of operators on the day following the
assault, there to rest according to the &C.
cepted Turkish doctrine. The consequence
was that it required month for the con-
queriEg army to progress a few score Of
miles, distance that could easily have
been covered within week If the Turkish
generals had shown the least degree of
enterprise. Indeed, according to this CORE
spondent, the main wonder connected with
the campaign was that it lasted as long as
1t did. The parallel between the Turko-
Grecian and the Hispano-American wars
Is by no means striking. 1t should not be
permitted to approach close enough to
suggest the least resemblance particularly
In this matter Of following up a victory.
FROM all present appearances it seems as
sured that 1t is the full purpose of the gov
eminent to continue to strike crushing
blows to Spain before the moral effect of
Sundays victory at Manila has been lessen
ed by the lapse of time or by some I'M
toward incident In the course of the hos
tilities. This seems to be the time for q
general movement forward, while the
Spaniards are quarreling over the respon-
sibiiitfes and threatening ministerial
changes

Mr. Pepper reports the State of Texas

plies intended for the reconcentrados 1t
is useless to for ward the supplies until they
can be landed in Cuba under the protec-
ton of American guns; and even then their
distribution must follow In the wake of the
army's advance. The Spaniards, with an
Opportunity. would seize and appropriate
them to their own use. They are on short
commons themselves. and would not hesi-
tate, of course. to help themselves at the
expense of people whom they have already
reduced to beggary.
This has been one Of the saddest features
of the crisis. The humane work under
taken by the United States had to be sus-
pended when war became inevitable. It
Could not be prosecuted through Spanish
agencies. To have made the Spaniards the
cu5todians of supplies for the benefit of
the reconcentrados would be about as wise
as would be setting wolves as guardians
over lambs. So that when the American
consuls returned home the members of the
Red Cross Society accompanied them, and
presumably. since that time. the helpless
people in the island have had to shift for
themselves.

people are to render 1t, that object alone

as Possible. When Spanish rule ceases,

who. had the American bounty not been
interrupted. would have been saved But
the responsibility lies wholly with Spain.
1t was her cruel hand which in the first
place brought them 10 the brink of the
grave. and then by forcing the United
States into war, deprived them of their
only friend and helper. But thousands will
be saved from death by the ending of Span
ism rule in Cuba, and will owe their lives
to the energy and liberality of the Ameri-
can people.

Dirty Street Cnrn

While the Commissioners are looking into
the matter of providing the public with
clean hacks, cabs and other such vehicles
they might profitaby turn their attention
to another branch of the subject that de-
mands careful consideration and immediate
remedy Some of the street cars in use in
this city are disgracefully unclean, ILL
smelling, ramshackle, indeed in worse con-
dition than are the public cabs and coaches
that are to be regulated under the old act
of the legislative assembly that has Just
been revived. The principal lines maintain
their rolling stock in excellent condition
The cushions are busted, the windows are
transparent and the floors are as clean as
constant use will permit. But the lines that
are still on horsepower basis are noto-
riously unfit for use. The cars of the Eek
inston, Belt and Anacostia lines especially
require the services of the cleaner and flu
migator The windows are never washed

to be sure. and are being run on an eco
nomical basis that would be ridiculous If
1t were not a serious handicap on the COM
fort and convenience of so many thousands
of people. But even under such circum-
stances it surely seems as though 1t were
within the power of the managers Of the
lines to keep their cars from becoming an
offense to humanity. The regulation I'M
earthed the other day by the Commission
ers hardly covers such q case. but It does
not seem as though 1t should be difficult
to discover or secure authority sufficient to
require these cars and all others to be
maintained with due regard for the health
and personal comfort of the passengers

offensive to the people will not continue and

can not be reached for many months. and

Europe and the Philippines.

Only two weeks ago the anti-American
press in Europe was intimating that IL the
United States showed weakness on the sea
in this war with Spain the foreign powers
would be likely to intervene and bring
matters to an early close. Now. after the
first engagement when the United States
has shown signal pluck and skill and
drawn first blood in fine style, the intima-
ton is promptly thrown out that Europe
may intervene because of our strength
Alarm is felt a; the appearance of so capa-
BILE a figure in the international ring. Would
IT not be best for Europe to serve warning
upon him at once? Has he any rights there
that ought to be respected?
This attack upon the Philippines has put
g new aspect on things. Europe has been
considering only Cuba; and even that SIM
pie problem had not been properly digested.
But upon the instant the stars and stripes
are carried triumphantly into the waters
of the far east and Europe becomes Curl
Gus to what it means.
What could it mean but the carrying for
ward of the original American plan? The
Philippines We're as legitimate an object of
attack as is Cuba. The war is for the
purpose Of bringing Spain to her senses
primarily regards her possessions in
the West Indies. Her maladministration in
the Philippines. although fragrant and
disgraceful as that in Cuba, would not of
itself have brought on war between her
self and the United States. We have never
essayed the role Of going to the rescue Of
the downtrodden in any and all parts of
the world. But. with respect to Cuba
striking at Spain wherever she may be
vulnerable is altogether in order. and it so
happens that she is very vulnerable in the
Philippines.
The future course with respect to the
Philippines will necessarily depend upon
the developments of the war. The United
States will consider its own interests above
those of everybody else. Its course in the
case of Cuba is unselfish. 1t only desires
good and Independent government there.
But its bills are growing heavy, and the
Philippines. if they can be held, will in
some way help to foot them. Spain has
elected to dance. and, according to the
rule. must pay the fiddler. Europe knows
how that Is.

The Isolation of Manila.

The difficulty of communication between
the rest of the world and Manila Is to be
appreciated when 1t is understood that
there is but one cable between the islands
and the Asiatic shore. This cable runs
from Hong Kong to Bolinao, a point about
100 miles from Manila and $50 from Hong
Kong. Thu water distance from the capital
to the landing place of the cable is con-
siderdbly greater than 100 miles. city
of about 5000 people is located at or near
this landing place. So it is possible. even
probable, that the arrangement of the
cable has taken Place at the landing place
rather than at Manila itself. or perhaps On
the land stretch between Manila and
Bolinao. This cable Is under Spanish con-
troll. though it's outlet in Asia is in English
possession. The sudden interruption of the
cable communication may mean that the
cable itself has been cut or that the shore
connections have been displaced. The lat
ter is the more likely. for cutting a cable
at sea is difficult operation and requires
sIecia, facilities that are not likely to be
in the possession of the Spaniards. Nor Is
it at all probable that Commodore Dewey
has succeeded in picking up the cable and
controlling it. This would require YES
sci. which he could ill spare from the more
serious work of reducing Manila. 1t seems
more probable that the connections have
merely been misadjusted, and that after
he has accomplished his main task the
American commander will attend to the
relatively small detail Of establishing COM
munio alton between himself and his home
government. Naval commanders are not
particular about placing themselves within
the range of departmental orders while
they are carrying out general commands.
They know their business and, Com
modore Dewey's exploit amply shows. they
usually accomplish it. After everything Is
over. Manila occupied, the Spaniards
routed, the Island of Luzon pacified, Com
modore Dewey will probably either send
dispatch boat over to Hong Kong, $50 miles
by the nearest sea route requiring at least
three days run, or else proceed to restore
the cable connection that has been so sud-
denly interrupted. Then, and in all likeli-
hood not until then, unless a merchantmen
should bring news, will we know the full
particulars Of the battle and the lombard
ment, with specifications as to the Ameri-
can losses.
