Should a man think he has consump-

has little cough and a general feeling
of weakness and incapacityf"
Mo- that doesn't necessarily mean con-
sumption, but il means that the system
is being steadily undermined it is
losing force and vitality; it is being
tainted with bilious poisons that the liver
hasn't power to throw off and any day
that which is now only probability may
suddenly develop into certainty.

Reports from the Philippines all seem
to agree that to ensure the paoi6oation Of
the islands more troops are needed. While
Gen. Otis's army Is sufficient to beat the
insurgents in the'field and to drive them
back it is not large enough to permanently
hold the territory gained, nor is 1t large
enough to surround and capture the
eneiny's troops. According to Col. Clay
who has just returned from the scene Of
much exceed Is, 200 men, which Is ar toe
small to protect the peaoably disposed
natives against guerillas and marauding
bands of hostile Filipinos. Gen. Otis,
apparently. has had to abandon some OF
his most advanced positions, and fall
back because his line of communication
with Manila was getting too long 10 be
protected with the troops available. 1t
hardly admits OF doubt that this move
ment will still further stimulate the In
surgents already encouraged by the
advent of the rainy season. While we
regret that the United Ststss ever en-
tsred the Philippines we recognize the
IaCb unaV IL HAS iuoCiA WV AuA
to be able to retreat until ut least tn
Filipinos have been subdued and the
country pacifled. National pride, II
nothing else, woald prove an insuperable
barrier to any withdrawal until we have
accomplished the work which We set out
to do. Such being the case there Is really
but one thing to be done and that Is to
furnish Gen. Otis with sufficient troops
to accomplish the task which has been
set for him. II regulars nough cannot
be furnished then volunteers should be
called for. No doubt there will be an out
cry against the enlistment of volunte ers
for this service. and the administration
and the commanders in the PHILIPPINES
will be severely criticized and blamed.
Nevertheless we are satisfied that the
great majority of the people will insist on
carrying to completion the task We have
begun cost what it may. Probably active
operations will have to be delayed now
until fall, but In tho Intervening months
troops ought to be hurried to the Phil
ippines SO that when the ii me comes for
the resumption of activity Gen. Otis
will have troops enough to enable
him to make sharp, short and decisive
campaign.

TEA.TASTING AS A CALLING.
Tasters Live to Ripe Old Age II They
Let Liquor Alone.
IN. Y. Post.

Down in the districts of the tea and
coffee warehouses, lin the neighborhood
of the foot of all street, merchants, brok-
ers, and clerks will laugh at you when
you ask them If the constant tasting OF
tea and coffee does not dry up their sys.
TENS and shorten.the lives Tea-tasting
was alleged to have fastened the death of
man In the district this week.
"Do look as though myilife had been
short9" asked one elderly man with gray
hair and spectacles in response to this
question. His ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ry and
active. and his eyes as bright as those Of
many a man not half as old. He was
sitting at small round table In little
front room on the ground floor of one OF
the larger tea houses. Near at hand on
gas range several tea-pots were steam
ing merrily, and tea sets, cups, saucers,
and trays complete, hung in irreproacha-
BILE order in cupboards within reach.
1--WE been In the business nearly fifty
years, good share Of that time a
faster, /" said he, land there's no signs
of decay yet. I'll tell you what 1t is.
ANY one who sticks to tea and coffee will
live to be an old man. It's tns stuff
called rum th8tidO0s the business. Ii you
will look closely into the history of these
men whom doctors say die from the
effects of tea and coffee drinking, you
will find they drank other kinds of liquids
besides. OF course. there are cases of
persons who drink tea to excess, just the
same as there are other kinds Of excuses.
But we call that a disease.
Gin our case there is always the danger
of poison. Copperas. used in coloring
cheap teas, Ia a menace to 'taster.' but
one gets to be able to tell cheap brands
before harm Is done. Carelessness in
tasting and an over indulgence In strong
DRINK, overtaxing the stomach with slim
ulant, are always disastrous. Come
around ten years from now, and If don t
get hashed up by surface oars, III be here
to tell you some more about it.
A coffee broker who was one of the first
men on the Street to begin the tasting
of coffee, was the only one who admitted
that tasting" had affected him.
Fifty years ago." he said. tea was
the only commodity tasted by samplers.
Coffee was then inspected by the eye only.

The Court Of Cessation decides for

to an acquittal, for 1t Is not claimed BY
anyone that any new evidence can be pro-

against great odds. At the beginning the

as II all sense of Justice and .1sir play had
so fully departed from the French mind
that rienting of tine terrible wrong which
those familiar with the facts believed had
been done Dreysus was beyond the possi-
biIity of accomplishment But the con-
tinuaI agitation of few powerful and
jealous lovers of Justice compelled the
government to send the case to o tribunal
beyond the reach of the army and it's
moIign influences. The Court of Cassa-
ton has proved itself incorruptible, and
has in part removed the stain from the
honor of the French nation which the
adherents of the military party had placed
there. Perhaps all the qualifications Of
the plot which was oonoootsd to make
Dreyfus the scapesoat of Others sins will
never be known. but enough has already
been discovered to show that some high
officers in the army were INIT and that
forgery and perjury were resorted to to
carry it through.

There can he no question that the
letting down of the civil service reform
bars will be popular with most of the
congressman, Republican and Demo.
cratic, and great many of the party
leaders and workers. Indeed it is
due to the pressure of these classes
that the bars have been let down
at all. Yet some of the offices which
have now been taken out of the law,
never ought to have been under it, nota-
bly, confidential clerks and other subor-
dinates for whom the heads of offices
are responsible financially. In the last
year of his term of Office Cleveland put
under the protection of the law a great
number of offices, and it was suspected
at the time that his motive was to afford
protection to his political friends rather
than to extend the reform. Doubtless
this act of Cleveland's was in large
degree responsible for the opposition to
the law which manifested iteslf in the
last Congress and has now succeeded In
getting some concession from the Prssi-
dent. The greatest tlanger to be appre-
.hended from the concessions made Is that
they will stimulate demand for Others
and render resistance less easy.

The reports Of the meetings of the
Hague conference are SO fragmentary
that 1t is impossible to get anything more
than the merest glimpse of the proceed
ings. Apparently for several days past a
plan, or several plans, of settling inter
, national disputes by arbitration have
been under discussion with hopeful out
look. OF course arbitration cam OF be
made compulsory between nations any
more than between individuals, but
the concentration of it by conference
composed as this conference is. of the
leading powers Of the world would give
1t a standing which it could get In no
other way, and would most likely lead to
its general adoption fer the settlement of
questions not regarded by the disputants
AS vital. OF course no nation could as
sent to al bitrate u question of that kind
because that would be tantamount to the
surrender Of its existence.

The Cubens have apparently reconsid-
cred their first determination not to &C.
cept the American bounty, and are now
coming forward in considerable mum bers
and surrendering their arms. Appar-
emily the influence of the officers who
composed the so-called Cuban Congress
has been exerted to hold the soldiers
bacK, but it is evidently fast losing It's
potency. II the soldiers who ar5 taking
the bounty will go TO work and live
peaceably the distribution will help great
ly to solve the Cuban question. Idle men
in the cities, and roaming bands of guer-
rillas in the country, furnish material
for the agiuators to work with, and con-
stitute the chief obstacle to thorough
and speedy pactication of the island.

Gov. Roosevelt has failed to afiix his
signature to the pure beer BILL that was
passed by the legislature, ON the ground
that the statutes already conatin sufficient
law to protect the public. The pure beer
bill is supposed to have been conoocted
for the purl ose of Furnishing the brewers
who were solidly opposed to Roosevelt and
votsd against him to man, besides con-
tributing large sums to the Democratic
campaign fund, Under the circumstances
there was strong temptation for the
governor to sign the bill, and the fact that
he did not yield to it attests strongly his
strength of character and loyalty to the
public inter ests.

Mr. Bradley b. Smalley of Vermont,
the acknowledged Democratic leader in
that state, very forcibly expresses himself
against undertaking to make platform
for the Democra party in advance OF
the Democratic convention. He reminds
the national committee that platform
making is not their business. MIR. Small
ley's remarks seem to be to the point A
national committse's business Is simply
to direct the conduct of a campaign after
the issues upon which it is to be made
are settled. 1t might be added that plat
form making is not the candidates bust
ness either.
