formed great service TO his country
and to the cause of humanity, and it
was all understood to have the approval
of the President, 1t will, indeed, be
surprising if there has been any mis-
take in this matter, and that "Proctor
and Mckinley are out" for the reaso ns
the World gives.
If Dewey is to be made President, it
will be as a Republican. Whatever his
previous condition of politics, or no pol
itics at all, his deeds and character pro.
claim him as conclusively the supporter
of Republican principles and policies as
was Grant or Sherman, or Farragut
Vermont would summon all her grace
and fortitude to bear these multiplying
and cumulative honors, but after the
fourth of March, 1901 Dewey might
wish himself back on the bridge of the
Olympia, in Manila Bay, amidst the
thunders of his guns and the storm of
flying steel, unless all the precedents
and experiences of every occupant of
the presidential chair shall be reversed
in the case of Admiral Dewey-and it
must be remembered that he has beer,
in a peculiar and exceptional way, the
favorite of good fortune.

Sinews of Wal.

LONDON, Oct. 5.-The most inter-
esting announcement in connection
with the Transvaal crisis today is that
the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Rt.
Hon. Sir. Michael Hicks. Beach, has
already sanctioned the provisional ex-
penditure of 100000 and that the
government will not exceed that limit
without authority from Parliament.
1t is stated that the war Office has
decided that the army corps for service
in South Africa shall be much larger
than ordinarily estimated and that it
now consists of over 10000 men. The
preparations for the dispatch of this
force, including the chartering of big
ocean liners, is steadily and satisfac-
torily proceeding.
The confidence of the military au-
thorities at the Cape is shown by des-
patch received from Cape Town which
stated that at conference between the
military authorities there and Gen.
George Stewart White, who will com.
mand the British forces in Natal, aud
Lieut.. Gen. Sir Frederick Walker, held
to consider the situation, Gen. White
expressed himself as confident that the
British would be able to present force
sufficient to repel any attack.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian tube. When this tube is in
famed, you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken
out, and this tube restored to its nor
NAL condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever. Nine cases out of ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing but
an inflamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.
We will give one hundred dollars for
any case of deafness Caused by catarrh)
that can not be cured by Halls Catarrh

Captain Carter.

Having given Captain Oberlin NJ.
Carter every opportunity and ample
time to prove himself innocent of the
charges against him, President Me-
Kinley has at length approved the ver-
dict of the court martial finding this
officer guilty aud condemning him to
imprisonment. Captain Carter belong
ed to the engineer branch of the SER
vice. He had been for some fourteen
or fifteen years in charge of the i'm
provements in Savannah harbor. He
was attached to the Nicaragua Canal
commission in 1896, and his successor
at Savannah discovered grave irregu-
larities in the work there. An inves-
tigation and trial by court martial fol-
lowed, and Captain Carter was found
guilty of completely in the loss to the
United States government of $780,
900. The finding of the court was re-
viewed, at the request of the President
by ex-senator Edmunds, who advised
the President that conviction was war
ranted. The attorney general al
so reviewed the testimony with the
same result. So the sentence of five
years imprisonment at hard labor, and
the payment of fine of $4,000 has
been finally approved.

In Washington.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 3.-Dewey was
astir before nine this morning greatly
refreshed by quiet and rest at
Mrs. Washington McLean's residence.
Shortly after ten, accompanied by
mounted escort, he was driven to the
White House, where the President and
cabinet were assembled to accompany
him to the Capitol. The Pre-, ident as
sisted the Admiral into his own car
riage.
The procession moved down the av-
enue includinga brigade from United
States marine corps; a battalion of
seamen from the Machias, Marietta,
escorting the tars of the Olympia; two
batteries of the Unites States artillery;
heavy siege guns; third United States
regular cavalry. In carriages were the
Admiral and the President, members
of cabinet, Dewey's captains, num-
Der of rear admirals; then followed the
executives of the states with stsffs all
mounted: Governors Rollins of New
Hampshire; Pingree of Michigan;
Smith of Vermont; Wolcott of Massa-
chusetts; Atkinson of West Virginia;
Powers of Maine; Lowndes of Mary
land; Tyler of Virginia. Reaching the
vast plaza east of the front of the cap
ital just after noon the carriages were
driven to the stand and the presiden-
tial salute of 81 guns was fired.
The party was escorted to position
at the stand. The central position is
fashioned in imitation of the Olympia's
Prov. An eloquent speech of welcome
was made by Ross Perry and the an.
them "America" was sung by the vast
concourse. TT 9 troops were put in
motion, passing in review. After
ward the Admiral was lriven to the
Mclean house.

The Venezuela Boundary Dispute.

The board of arbitration created to
establish the boundary line between
Venezuela and Great Britain's posses
sions in South America gives the Grin
oco river to the Venezuelans and di-
vides the gold fields between them and
the British.
The tribunal was created to find the
boundary line and draw it where right
and justice placed it, but the conclu-
sion of the board appears 10 have been
in the nature of compromise. This
is considered peculiar ending of the
case, if, indeed, it is the end. A court
created to settle a disputed matter in
accordance with the principles OF inter-
national law, on the evidence submit
ted, decides the question apparently on
material grounds, or on a basis of ex-
pediency. The legal principles of the
the decision are not made public. The
tribunal was unanimous in its decision
The boundary line which Great Brit
ain claimed was very elastic one, and
was stretched westward from time to
time, as fast as new discoveries of gold
were made, till England was claiming
dominion over the mouth of the Grin
oco and large part of the lower course
of this, the second river of South
Africa. BY the decision, England's
dominion has advanced westward be.
yond the EssequibO, the old historic
boundary line, but it has receded from
the Orinoco, and Venezuela has now
the undisputed ownership of the
mighty stream that drains the greater
part of her territory; andEshe has also
a conceded title to half the gold pro
ducing region that was in dispute.
The contention over this boundary
line long ago passed from the arena o.
lively interest, and has been overshad
owed by many events of worldwide
importance since President Cleveland
made the matter the subject of bel
ligerent message. But it had vexeC
England and Venezuela for half cen
fury and been menace to the friendl,
relations between Great Britain an,
the United States.

Anti Lunacy.

That old hen of q Mugwump, the
Springfield Republican, always cackling
over an eggless nest or sitting on brick
bats in the vain hope OF Matching out
missiles to huil at the objects of its
malevolence, has taken to moihering
Admiral Dewey, and clucks coaxingly
and calls cheerily over some imaginary
tid-bit she mas scratched up in her
wandering round her political hen yard.
eff George Dewey could have spoken
in the Senate" pirates the eccentric
biddy, "he would have sustained the
Massachusetts Senator's contention that
the Filipinos are superior to the Gu
bans fin every way"
Senator Hoar's proposition, it was
recalled, was TO amend the treaty with
Spain so as to place the Filipinos in the
same position as the Cubans. Any
thing that Senator Hoar advised, or
proposed, it was wise and safe to re-
ject. He was the man to whose 'pur-
blind mental vision" Aguinaldo was
second Washington. That settled Sen
ator Hoar's mental and moral statue.
His competency to judge wisely in any
matter pertaining either to Cuba or
the Philippines was long before dis
counted by his cratic ways, and I'M
reasonable and unpatriotic speeches.
There was no more reason for plac-
ing the Filipinos in the same position
as the Cubans, under the treaty, than
the Porto Rcans, or the inhab itants of
Alaska under the treaty with Russia.
The Philippine Islands would become
the territory of the United States,
Cuba would not. In the one case the
United States would become the proprie-
tor; in the other, the trustee. The "pro-
tectorate" the Filipinos would accept
was simply crude arrangement under
which the United States would be sad
died with all the expense of protecting
and responsibility to foreign powers for
the whims and lawlessness of people
Just released from centuries of Spanish
oppression. An ideal arrangement,
indeed; legitimate breeding of crack
Drained anti-imperialisW.
1t remains to be shown yet that
Admiral Dewey made the remark
the anti-imperialists persistently at
tribute to him as to the comparative
fitness of the Filipinos and Cubans for
self-government; and, if he made the
remark, it remains to be shown that it
is true. Proving every crazy assump-
ton by some alleged remark of Ad-
miral Dewey is one of the fads of anti
Imperialism. Admiral Dewey's judg-
ment, as he himself comedies, is SUBJ
ject to the limitations of human wis
dom. He does not profess to be the
sole and supreme repository of wisdom
in respect OF all political questions that
were preached when, by his marvellous
victory, he shattered Spanish dominion.

The country has been barking for it,
and it has come, another long TRADE by
the New York Sun against Admiral
Schley. The newspaper reports of the
land parade in New York represented
that, next to Admiral Dewey, the en-
thusiasm of the masses packed along
the route of the procession found ex-
preston in cheers for Rear Admiral
Schley. This was natural, and it was
pretty conclusive evidence of the popu-
lar verdict in the matter of the Schey-
Sampson contention. Hence the vi
perish outburst of the Sun.

precipitate of genuine Christian pro-
gress is dishearteningly small. Such
opinions are based upon misconcep-
tiou OF the Kingdom Of God and mis-
Interpretation of the facts OF its
growth.
Some people have the idea that the
growth OF the Kingdom must be
measured by some pet theory, or by
the Development Of some one branch OF
the Christian church. Certain nom
essentials of habit, secular or relig-
ious, such as the wearing of peculiar
costumes or the puerilities Of sacerdo-
talism are, as In the days OF Christ
placed above even the foundation

or ins nstitutions falling outside Of these
foolishly restricted limits are rele-

The broad mind of Jesus Is necessary
to right Judgment concerning the
evolution and progress Of his religion.
Cast.iron creeds, local coloring, per-

and sectarian narrowness are fatal.
These things are to some churches and
many Individuals what blinders are TO
some nervous horses; never seeing but
a fraction of an object, they are con-

The Day Rene mber red in Betting Man
ner by Our People.
Decoration Day has always been
observed in proper manner by the
patriotic citizens Of Brookings, but
this year our people bad taken partic'
ular pains to commemorate the day
more generally than heretofore.
At 10 o'clock vast procession COM
posed of the college band, cadets. &.
A. R., w. r. c., public school children
and citizens in carriages paraded
through the streets and large num-
ber went to Greenwood cemetery
where appropriate. ceremonies were
;utrcduced.
At 2 O'Clock large concourse oi
people aa.emb bled at the First Baptist
church to listen TO the intellectual
program prepared for the occasion.
As the old soldiers filed in we noted
the absence of forms which on pre-
yious occasions were in the ranks,
some OF which had been placed In
their long resting place, and the bent
forms of many present on this occa-
sion bore evidence that their days
we're fast beginning TO shorten.
The usual ritual ceremony was per-
formed and the choir, under the
leadership of Miss Callie Williams
sang an appropriate anthem.
This was followed by patriotic
song by the little children from the
third grade of the public school.
Misses Ruby Williams and Lillian
Breed each rscited appropriate pieces
which received hearty applause. After
which the choir rendered another
song and Adjutant Cornell introduced
Hon. J. p. Cheever, who for an hour
held his audience with a we'll prepared
speech, which, judging from the ap
plause that In several instances inter
rupted his remarks, pleased Ms
| hearers. a.
Another song by the choir and the
assembly was dismissed with the bene'
diction. Thus closed one OF the mos'
appropriate Decoration Day cere
monies ever introduced In the history
OF this place. There were no sports ol
any kind and many OF the business
houses were closed most OF the day.
