Mangatarem, is an officer of the regu-
lar army, in which he holds the rank
of lieutenant. Before going to the
Philippines he was attached to the 9TH
cavalry, and was stationed at Fort
Riley, Kansas. As colonel of the Seth
United States volunteers, Bell distin-
guished himself two months ago in
the action near Porac, when he rode in
advance of his troops and single
handed charged seven of the enemy.
He captured a captain and two pri-
Yates, and the remaining four Fill
pinos fled before the shots from his
pistol. For this gallant conduct the
president directed that congress

Bell is a native of Kentucky. He was

Wars Great Cost.

DulalD (olEaSE
Though the Spanish war was but
a skirmish. as compared with the civil
war. it has been thought necessary to
raise almost as much revenue. and the
for our military opera
tions exceeded those of the early yeal S
of the civil war, threatening TO last
for years. There is no probable re-
lief from war taxes, and if greater
economy is not enforced either new
issue of bonds or higher taxation will
be necessary before the end of the
Mckinley administration The econo-
mic waste of war is one of its most
marked features. Commercial pros
perity may lead the people to sub
NIT for time without protest, but in
the end the cost of imperialism and
militarism will impress itself upon
the masses of the people. who are the
chief sufferers, since most of the rich
escape the payment of
the war taxes by shifting the burden
to their patrons, who can only protest
and pay.

TnFK AND Now.

To say that man has Bright's
disease was once considered
equivalent TO saying that he
stood in the valley of the shadow
of death. The end was cnly
question of time. But that was
before Warmers Safe Cu-c had
spread its benefits ovcrthc land.
c. H. Lincoln, of Medford,
Mass, says
Il had typhoid fever, and
after it came kidney trouble,
and it was whispered around
that l had Bright's disease OF
the kidneys. l knew what that
meant, so I pitched the inedI-
cire I had outdoors. l then
bought one bottle of Warmers
Safe Cure, and took it according
to directions. The first bottle
gave me relief and 1 bought a
second. Before that was gone l
had gained nearly ten pounds.
l continued taking Safe Cure,
and it cured me-"
81 am fifty-nine years old,
and enjoy as good health as any
man of my age. If anyone has
kidney trouble and Warmers
Safe Cure will not cure him,
nothing will. I believe it the
best and only cure for kidney
disease on earth"
Nowhere does the proverb,
"Delays are dangerous, apply
with such force as in kidney
arrangement. When Bright's
disease has set in the kidney
tissue is breaking down and
passing away every minute.
The strength of the body is
sapped steadily, surely.
Inasmuch as Warmers Safe
Cure alone stops kidney degen-
Grafton, should it not be used
without an hours delay when
pain in the back and head, a
cold skin and bad digestion give
unmistakab1e warning?

Il.
publican member of congress from
the Duluth, Mimi, district and chair
man of the national silver republican
committee, declares his belief that it
is the wish of Senator Hanna and his
coworkers to plant a monarchy in
place of the existing republican form
of government in this country. In
an interview prior to the opening of
the national committee in Chicago,
Mr.. TOwne spoke forcibly and earn
estly on the subject, and the silver
republicans present commended what
he said. The reporters who were
present say that he spoke with ii e
understanding that his statements
were for publication, and as eloquent
as if he was delivering a speech. Mr..
Towne, among other things. said:
This country was never in the
danger that it is today. Mckinley to-
day wields more power than any au-
tocrat in any country in the world.
In Europe it is reported that a mon
archy is to be established in this
country. The country is in greater
danger than at any time since our
forefathers established the republican
form of government.
There is no doubt that there is en-
understanding between Mckinley and
England. We are pulling the chest
nuts out of the fire tor England in the
Philippines. What are we doing with
65, 600 men in the Philippines? We
are advancing England's plan for
trade with China.
Mckinley is working as they work
in monarchies-und the cover of
secrecy. He has ordered all press
dispatches to be censored. He has
ordered all that which reflects upon
the administration cut out. That is
the wav they do in monarchies.
He has made n treaty with a poly
gamous sultan in the Pacific.
Mckinley has overstepped the
powers given the president by the
constitution, and we can prove it.
Republicans talk about being in ac-
cord with the policy of the president.
Who ever gave him the right to have
policy of his own? If one year ago
last April, when patriotism and pub
lie spirit were a higher point than
at any time since '61, when the hearts
of men were moved as though by a
benediction, if at that time any one
had said that this country would free
one people and put the fetters upon
another people, everyone would have
exclaimed Impossible. But just
this has happened.
MIR. Hanna, when he returned
from Europe, was interviewed upon
what he thought of Eugland's gov
ernment. He said-and | quote word
for word that interview-he said that
in some respects he liked England 8
form of government better than ours.
What he liked about it was it's sta
bility. Mark that word stability
What is bankers idea of stability?
1t is to have all lines of finance
trained behind his banking counter.
That's stability for him. These
wealthy men have produced what
they call stability by the organization
of tru sts, which control business, which
firmly places the volume of trade in
their hands. Now they want stabil-
ity of government. BY stability of
government they mean one mind,
and that one mind the resultaxt of
their power and influence. What did
Mr.. Hanna mean when he said he
liked the stability of England's gov
ernment? He meant that he favored
a government which WAS not subject
to the caprices and passions of the
people

ANOTHER appeal for reinforcements
has been sent by Capt. Leary, naval
governor of the island of Guam. The
few men the governor has at his com
mand are but an insignificant force
compared with the 5000 population
of the island, and fears of a native re-
volt are increasing. The navy de-
partment first received a telegra m
from Capt. Leary, asking for an addi-
tional force of marines late in Octo-
Der, and his appeal was answered by
the mastering of 800 men. This sec
ond appeal leads the department to
believe that the situation is more
grave than was aPprehended. The

with being peaceable. They appeared

THERE was only one state of
those which held elections this fall
where the result was distinctly re-
publican success, and that was New

this is not unfathomable. If there
ever was a birthplace of iniquities,
this state fondles one of the very worst
with which we have to deal-trusts.
This state is the home ground for
trusts; here they flourish and wax
sleek through the laws of their own
