RECOVERY FROM WOUNDS.
Several Cases of Remarkable Physical
Vitality Instanced.

Commissioner Evans, Of the PEN
sion bureau, in speaking of the re-
markable wounds which some officers
received, mentioned the case of an
officer who "was shot in the back.
The ball penetrated his kidney, liver
and lung and broke two of his ribs.
He is alive to-day and the president
has promoted MIN"
Brig. Gen. William s. Worth and
Capt. J. Bigelow, Jr., also suffered
not one but many severe wounds and
everyone can recall many more in
stances. 1t is conceivable that the
use of the small bullet will introduce
new possibility into battles, ca
pacity to ignore wounds that are not
positively disabling in the sense of de-
priving the wounded man of under
standing or limb necessary to his
duty, says the Army and Navy Jour
nal
One Of the remarkable develop
ments of crime is the power a sturdy
criminal sometimes exhibits of sus-
tanning, without disablement, wounds
that lay an honest man low. This
quality is exhibited in the highest de-
gree by the ''rustlers" of the far west.
Most Of them are passed cowboys and
in the wild and arduous life of a COW
camp and under the stimulus of emu
lating some "kid" of eminent reckless
career they gain a certain sturdinesa
OF temper, an indifference to personal
suffering and to the ultimate conse-
quences of an act, looking only to its
immediate results, which seems to
put them above the shock of wounds
and the weakness that comes from loss
OF blood
A man when engaged in street
fight received charge Of buckshot
fun in the abdomen at ten or fifteen
PAGES, but fought on until repeated
wounds brought him down. The his
tory of these private combats, where
no mercy or hospital care await the
wounded man, proves that it is posi-
bic to meet wounds in such deter
mined spirit that the effects of shock
may be eliminated. The ability to
do this has been increased very great
ly by the introduction Of small arms,
and it is entirely probable that this
self-reliant attitude of mind can be
still further developed as part Of the
soldiers stern preparation for war,
and that soldiers can learn to take
care Of themselves, or even to con-
tinue in the field if needed.
Those who are familiar with the
west are acquainted with many exam
Piles Of the immunity that such re-
solved temper gives. There is one
case Of a man shot through the body
at the lung, who got out of hospital
that was i'll guarded because his con-
dition was go desperate, and rode of
at full gallop for 80 miles He did it
to avoid imprisonment. Chicago

More Fires in Town and County.

Last week the residence of Cliff
Thompson, colored, of this city was
badly damaged by fire. The burn
ing occurred when the family were
away. The damage is said to amount
to $4,000, with $1,000 insurance.
On Tuesday morning the residence
and barn of Earnest Hadden in the
country were destroyed by fire. He
was not at home and every thing in
the residence was lost and but little
was saved from the barn.

The Kidney Complexion.

The pale, sallow. sunken-cheeked
distressed-looking people yoniso often
meet are afflicted with the "Kidney
Complexion"
Their kidneys are turning to par
snip color. So is their complexion.
They may.also havei indigestion, or
suffer from sleeplessness, rheumatism,
neuralgia, brain trouble, nervous ex-
haustlon and sometimes the heart acts
badly.
The cause is weak, unhealthy kid
neys.
Usually the sufferer from kidney
disease does not find out what the
trouble is until it Is almost too late,
because the first symptoms are so like
mild sickness that they do not think
they need medicine or doctor until
they find themselves sick in bed.
DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root will
build up and Gstrengthen their weak
and diseased Kidneys, purify their d.
seased, kidney poisoned blood, clear
complexion and soon they will enjoy
better health.

drug store, at fifty cents and one dol
lar, or you may first prove for your
self the wonderful virtues of this great
discovery, Swamp-Root, by sending

UNEASY LIES THE HEAD, ETC.

\ Washington special to the Baltimore
Sun says:
1t may be sought to produce a contrary
impression, but it is absolutely correct
that the President is very much depressed
by the situation in the Philippines Not
only this. but the contemplation Of tie
other complications which viii 1t is now
seen, eventually grow out OF our eXpan-
sion policy is more than sufficient to pro-
duce disquiet and appreh ension in the
mind of the man who is responsible for
the conditions which exist and responsible
for the satisfactory determination of the
same.
Uneasy lies the head that wears
crown" and also the head that would
wear a crown.
The same special also says:
1t needs no prophet TO forecast that
sooner or later the President will have
no alternative but TO call for the volun-
teers provided for in the act of Congress.
And it needs no prophet to forecast that
the President is not going to find it an
easy matter to get these volunteers.
This statement carries with it no re-
Election on the patriotism of the people.
1t simply involves a recognition of the
fact which is being attested in various
ways that the people cannot see that
benevolent assimilation" in the Philip
pines at the cost of suffering and death
TO thousands of our young men, and OF
millions OF money, has anything in com
mon with patriotism.

UNFVRTuNATE IRONY.

The war with Spain, remarks the Provi'
dence Journal has already passed into
history. and the historians have been un-
usually busy with every phase OF IT; but
despite their industry. 1t f. only now that
the real truth has come TO light. When
however, continues the Journal. the Irish
World informs us that "the keynote OF
President McKinleys policy IS subservi-
ence TO England" we feel that great
light has been shed upon dark place.
There are thousands Of reading and
thinking people who will conclude that
the journal Is rather unfortunate In It's
effort to be ironical at the expense OF the
| World. Certainly Mr. McKinley's Philip
pine policy Is playing directly into the
hands Of England, and England has
everything to gain by the contamination
| Of his imperialistic ambition. That this
is the English view Of the matter has
never been more apparent than since the
return Of General I.awton's flying coll
umn the admission Of that officer that
| It would take 10000 men TO pacify the
| islands, and the publication Of scores oil
private letters from officers and men In
| our army Of occupation. which make II
very clear that enthusiasm in the cause
of benevolent assimilation" is rapidly
waning.
The injection Of these factors into the
calculation caused a decided furry in
England, and the English press Is now
loud in its cries that America must not
retreat. and is making eloquent appeals
to us not to show cowardice by abandon
ing the work we set out to do.
When we consider that should we be-
come firmly established I'm the Philippines,
we would in the event Of general scrim-
mage over the far East question, natu-
rally gravitate to or be drawn into an
alliance with England, the distress Of
our English cousins at the thought of the
possibility Of our turning tail In the
Philippines is easily Understood. From
their viewpoint we cannot blame them
for encouraging us to get into the mud
die Nor can we reproach them for want
ing 10 keep US I'm il. From the same view
point we cannot blame England for the
part she took in entanglng us through
the Berlin treaty in the Samoan king
making complication. Moreover, We say
as 10 both cases. now that we have gone
thus far, whatever the finality, our pres
tige must not suffer.
But we do blame those who allowed
England TO use them in these matters,
and thus drag the country away from
the moorings of true republican institu-
tions TO the verge of the vortex against
which the fathers Of the republic repeat
eddy and persistently warned us. And we
believe that i'm the end the people will
blame them, and make them and their
political following pay the penalty.

CAPTAIN COGHLtS's SPEECH.

There seems no question that Captain
Coghlan, of the Raleigh, is gallant
officer But there also seems no ques-
ton, and has not subjected his tongue
to that discipline the naval regulations
require that he should preserve aboard
his ship. His explanation TO the con-
trary Notwithstanding, his speech at the
Union League Club banquet Friday night
was, under all the circumstances, very
reprehensible performance. However pro-
voking may have been the conduct of the
German admiral at Manila, the incident
has been closed for some time. And it
was closed by Emperor Williams repu-
dating practically. the German admirals
acts. seeing that he deprived Won Died
erichs Of his command.
Captain Coghlan's remarks were made
at a time when differences exist between
this country and Germany ever another
matter, and we are not surprised that
the German Government has entered
formal protest against them. OF course
we do not regard this as foreshadowing
any serious complication, for We assume
that this government viii do what is
rights and proper in the premises. None
the less, the sting Of the speech cannot
but rankle in the German mind and in
crease the friction between this country
and Germany to which so many un-
pleasant little episodes nave contributed
lately. In both the United states and
Germany there are thousands OF persons
