those who have been influenced by
such rubbish and for the instant for
getting that all men are frail, that it
is our heritage to err, have per-
mitted themselves to think unkind-
ly of Admiral Dewey for single act
which at most can only be termed in
discretion, will not now more severely
reproach themselves than they were
inclined to censure the nations hero.
No man is above criticism, but honest
difference of opinion is one thing and
abuse is another. And if Admiral
Dewey is to be accused of an act of
improperly in this one instance be-
cause he has given with his affections
the natien's token, what of those
who, speaking as for the American
people and hence for the contributors
to that gift, have had go little concep-
ton of the proper amenities as to pub
licly denounce the recipient OF their
favor for his disposition of it?
1t is happy thought that from the
best Information, the public outburst
seems confined to the capital, which
is gabby, cosby old town at best,
and which, by the way, represents a
very small percentage of the contrib
utors to the premises of which so
much has been said. Likewise is it n
source of delight throughout this
land to know that Admiral Dewey is
just as near to the hearts of the peo-
pie as ever. The lustre of his i'm per-
ishable fame and glory has not been
dimmed in the slightest by this mere
incident, nor could it be, and if the
people of Washington do not treat
him rightly, Rock Island has welcome
always extended to him to come out
here, see our arsenal and make himself
at home. And our people and those
along the way here will very soon con-
vince him that he is to their mind
the same George Dewey. and that
they are devoted, and ever will be, to
him and to his.

An Uproar and Its Cause.

When the calm has succeeded
the storm created by Admiral
Dewey's transfer of his gift
home in Washington to members of
his family. and the people find that
the source of the uproar originating
in the national capital, was, after all,
the busy anonymous correspondents
in the Washington press, sense of
disgust and chagrin is very ap to fol-
low the hasty Indignation to which
many have given themselves over.
The evil of the class of contributors
alluded to, people who without cour-
age of conviction but with identity
fully concealed, are permitted to
blackguard and insult others to the
point of brutality. as has been
true in Admiral Dewey's case, is
again forcibly illustrated. And it is
n source OF amazement that the press
of Washington. following the exam
pie of other respectable publications,
has not long ago closed its columns
to this reckless, irresponsible and
cowardly element of latter day jour
nalism. 1t will not be unnatural if

THE naval department has issued
orders to Admiral Schley, who re-
Gently assumed command of the South
Atlantic Squadron. to proceed with
all possible haste to South American
waters, but in no case to visit South
African stations without specific or
ders. The object of these precise
orders is obvious. The desire is to
get the popular admiral beyond the
scope of public attention and o%serva-
tion in this country as far as possible
before congress meets, and yet TO
handicap him in the matter of an
opportunity to distinguish himself.

The Germans and Imperialism.

A political correspondent of the

tonic element in our citizenship is
very conservative. They came to
this land to be relieved of the spirit of
militarism prevailing in the old world,
and they dc not observe with kindly
eyes the present policy of conquest as
pressed by the republican administra-

prominence in Quincy furnished a
curious combination. He said he was

effect another rafting of politi-
teal ties. The COMMUNICATIONS
who oppose Imperialism also oppose
the 10 to l ratio of silver coinage, but
as the ratio problem is practically
disposed of for six years by the make
up OF the senate, they are willing to
vote for Bryan in 1900 with the belief
that his administration would quickly
dispose of the imperialistic idea.

WORST KIND OF A CASE.
We Will Tell You If You Will Be.

The Experience of Well Known Persons
Ought Surely to BE Convincing.

We ask you to read the following
statement from a well-known citizen
because he suffered from one of the
worst kind of cases of backache and
kidney disorder and was cured by the
use of Morrow's Kid-ne-oids. 20 If you
are in the least way troubled with q
Morrow's Kid-ne-oids: they cure every
time. Here is what Fred Boetje, 921
Fifth avenue, manufacturer of
ground mustard, says:
Il was suffering severely with
rheumatism caused by my kidneys
being out of order. l. had a sharp
pain across my back and in my left
side, which extended all the way down
my left leg to my foot, at times
l would feel the pains in 9TH
er parts of my body and limbs. l
tried several kinds of medicine, but
got no relief until got some of Nor
rows Kid-ne-oids at N. F. Bahnsen' s
drug store. They gave me relief in a
day or so, but l continued to take
them and now the pain is all gone and
| feel better in every way. Before
taking Kid-ne-oids | could not sleep
for the pain, it was so severe at times;
1 was troubled with urinary disorder
which showed itself in frequent and
excessive discharges. All my trou-
BILE is now gone; Morrow's Kid-ne-
oids have cured me-"
Morrow's Kid-ne-oids are not pills
but yellow tablets, which is a scien-
tiic form of preparing medicine.
They are put up in wooden boxes
which contain enough for about two
weeks treatment and sell at SO cents
at NJ. F. Bahnsen's drug store.

GraIn-O Brings Relief

To the coffee drinker. Coffee drink
ing is habit that is universally in
dulged in and almost as universally
injurious. Have you tried Grain-O?
1t is almost like coffee, but the effects
are just the opposite. Coffee upsets
the stomach, ruins the digestion, af
fects the heart and disturbs the whole
nervous system. Grain-O tones up
the stomach, aids digestion and
strengthens the nerves. There is
nothing but nourishment in Grain-O.
1t can't be otherwise. Is and % cents

bed for six weeks and had eight ply

They have been handsomely gilded, and at
systimatic intervals banded with cardinal

ed in arched panels, bordered with cardinal

correspond with organ and chancel furni-
ture. The splendid new pipe organ is to the
