How TO Preven, Pneumonia

You are perhaps aware that pneu-
monia always results from cold or from
an attack of la grippe. During the
epidemic of la grippe few years age
when so many CAGES resulted in pneu-
monia, it was observed that the attack
was never followed by that disease when
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy was used.
It counteracts any tendency of a cold or
la grippe to result in that dangerous
disease. 1t is the best remedy in the
world for bad COILS and la grippe. Every
bottle warranted. For sale by E. III.

An End To Secret Ballots.

1t is safe to assume that the vicious
practice of secret balloting for senatorial
candidates will not be resumed in the
caucuses of any party in Wisconsin.
The last pretense Of an argument in its
favor disappeared when long established
precedent was disregarded by the re-
publicans at Madison on Wednesday
evening. The certain duplicity of nearly
dozen members which found shelter in
the secrecy Of the first ballot doubtless
prompted the majority to the action
that ultimately exposed the treacherous
few and relieved other members from
the general suspicion of double-dealing
and the practice of fraud upon their
constituents as we'll as against the can
didate to whom they had pledged their
support.
In contests of this character the pub
lie, as we'll as the politicians, is prepared
for shrewd maneuvers and misleading
information. The public is not prepat-
ed to learn and the politicians cannot
afford to be compelled to learn, that the
legislators can pledge their votes to
candidate, attend the caucuses called
exclusively for the supporters of that
candidate, then proceed forthwith to
use information thus obtained to iniure
such candidate, and under protection of
a secret ballot cast their votes for some
other sspirant. The most liberal license
for political action will not permit the
exercise of methods of this sort, and any
practice or plan of proceeding which en-
courages or conceals such methods
cannot safely invite approval of political
bodies until the majority of men become
as lost to self-respect as some of the
members of the Milwaukee delegation
to Madison have proven themselves to be.
Whatever other results may come
from the republican caucus this year it
has accomplished something substantial
for the future by its early recognition of
the fact that good cSstoms are not TO be
established by following bad presidents.

From veteran soldier. editor in Mn
nesota, comes the good advice to young
soldiers preserve your uniforms"
There isn't man living today who
carried musket in those terrible vet
glorious years, from 1861 to 1865, who
would not give the price of ten dress
suite for the old army blue that he cast
off SO joyfully when his time to resume
citizens clothes came. And even if be
would not prize it, his sons would es-
TEEN it treasure above all price. ii
to the homes of the unreturning,
it had been possible to restore the uni
form IN which the soldier served and
died, it woulo have been comfort
growing more precious with the adj
vance of yesrs. Thirty years hence,
when the young soldier OF today has
turned his half century, and his ser
vice in the brief Spanish war seems
more than half dream, nothing will
make it SO real as the blue and brass
which distinguish sd him among his
fellow men when he returned in honor
to the avocations of peace.

The Tobacco Ontlnnl1.

Facts show that the '98 crop had the
making Of the best tobacco the state
produced IN years, barring the hail and
wind storms that did material damage
in various sections. But for these blem-
isbesit is seldom that Wisconsin tobacco
presents thinner texture, finer colors
or comes to the packing houses in such
splendid packing condition. The choice
selections, therefore, bought outside the
storm sections, contains as desirable to-
bacco as the state has ever produced
and is seemingly we'll worth the tof
prices that has been paid fer them
These facts, in : measure. account foi
the anxiety of certain packers o gather
up the choice selections OF the crop
which steadily forced up prices to wei
tow ards the cent mark ornuch of the
hes of the crop. Considerable riding is
still being done, but little buyine effect.

The People and the War.

Our wal in the Philippines is an
%inglorious affair, look at it as we
may. 1t is evident that the hearts
OF the American people are not in the
war. There is no enthusiasm anv-
where. Even those who advocate the
prosecution of the war feel humiliat-
ed. Papers like the Nation and Har-
per's Weekly claim that if we had
treated the Filipinos as we did the
Cubans there would have been no
war. There can be no doubt what.
eyer that when Admiral Dewey took
Aguinaldo to Manila faom Hong
Kong it was as IN ally of America.
Until General Merritt went to Mani.
la the Filipino troops co-opcrated
with our sailors. When our army
landed then began the i~ealousness
that ended in the present war. We
do not believe and neve have believ.
ed that the intention of our Govern
ment is to Cypress the Filipinos, but
It matters not what u intentions
nay De, we cannot govern them as
We govern Americans, and therein
les the peril to our own institutions.
