DISCOVERED BY A WOMAN.

Another great discovery has been made
and that too. by a lady in this country.
"Disease fastened its clutches upon her
and for seven years she withstood its Sc
verest tests, but her vital organs were I'm
dermined and death seemed imminent
For three months she coughed incessant-
ly, and could not sleep. She finally dis
covered way to recovery, by purchasing
OF us bottle of DR.. Kings New DIscov-
cry for Consumption, and was SO much
relieved on taking first dose that she
slept all night; and with two bottles has
been absolutely cured. Her name is Mrs.
Luther Lutz." Thus writes w. c. Ham
mick & Co. of Shelby, N. G. Trial bottles

dependence OF Cuba and the majorlt!
against expansion was even more emphat
lie. There were 10, 100 in favor OF the In
dependence OF the island and only 1888
for annexation. But it was In reply Il
the third question that the result OF thi
poll was most adverse to the administra
tion's policy.
The query was as folows:
I'm general, should the United Statel
adhere to, or depart from its former poll
cy OF non I'm reference with nations be-
yond either ocean?'' OF the replies, 1892
favored adherence to the old policy, while
only 1887 voted for the new departures
4 to vote against the expansion policy
Of the administration.
We have never believed that majority
Of the people Of the United States APP
prove the war upon the Filipinos, and
there are unmistakable signs that the OPP
position to the war is constantly growing
stronger.
Many prominent Republicans realize
this fact and frankly admit that the Phil
ippine war Is a heavy lond for the admin
tration to carry.
The masses Of the people are not de-
ceived by the cry that the Filipinos are
"rebels" against the authority Of the
United States. We have never had any
authority over them and the only cain
to such authority which we can show Is
our purchase of the Philippine Islands
from nation which had lost control over
them.
We denounced Spain for continuing her
war upon the Fllipinos after they had
driven the Spaniards from every part Of
the islands except narrow strip OF coast
and yet we paid Spain so0,OOoOO0 for the
privilege of taking of her hands a war
against people striving to be free.
The FilipInos were not consulted In the
and they refuse to abide by
its terms. They had as soon be ruled by
SPANS as by the United States, and they
are fighting US even more vigorously than
they fought their former masters.
The facts In the case cannot be obscur-
ed by the administration or perverted by
Its military censorship at Manila, and
they are facts which are very unpalatable
to ajority OF the people OF this country
