day a great crack appeared in the up

jacent building caused by the strain of
arch raising tackles attached thereto.

would seem those who made the ex'
eriment knew pretty we'll what the
effects would be. Now the next ex.
perimental stage will be to see how
long the people will stand the abuse
until they rise and crush the monster.
1t will probably be on the first Tues
day in next November.
A large standing army is,a menace
to republican institutions and q need.
less expense. Soldiers unless engaged
in active warfare are drones. They
produce nothing but they consume
much of the substance of those who DO
prodnce. They are a burden upon
taxpayers. More than enough to
garrison our forts and coast defenses
are not needed in this country, for q
volunteer army can always be raised
on short notice when it ia required to
defend the country's honor. But at
next session of congress an effort will
be made to increase the standing
army to loo, 900 men. 1t should be op-
posed by all lovers of liberty and
economical government.

81 am very grateful to you for your
kindness and the interest you have
taken in me, and truly believe your
medicines and advice are worth more
to a woman than all the doctors in the
world. For years had female troubles
and did nothing for them. OF course
I became no better and finally broke
down entirely. My troubles began
with inflammation and hemorrhages
from the kidneys, then Inflammation,
congestion and falling of the womb
and Inflammation of ovaries.
81 underwent local treatment every
day for some time; then after nearly
two months the doctor gave me permis-
sion to go back to work. Invent back,
but in less than a week was com
pelled to give up and go to bed. On
breaking down the second time, 1 de-
cided to let doctors and their medicine
alone and try your remedies. Before
the first bottle was gone / felt the eff
fects of it. Three bottles of lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and q
package of her Sanative Wash did me
more good than all the doctors treat
ments and medicine.
The first remark that greets me
now is How much better you lookI' and
you may be sure never hesitate to tell
the cause Of my health. Nina. + ],

A LOYAL AMERICAN
GLADLY Gave the Flowers IRON Her
Hat to Remind the Boys OF
Home and Mother.

When the soldier boys left for the
south there. was one bright-looking girl
standing on the depot platform, says
the Denver Times. She wore one of the
fashionable hats which appear like 9
garden of flowers. AS she stood there,
with the tears coursing down hercheeks
she saw the other girls burying the
brave boys in literal forests of flowers
One Of the soldiers stepping up to her
asked:
'sPlease, may I have one of those flow
ers on your hat?"
She took his hand, and in voice most
womanly said: Eyes, sir, and may God
bless you"
Then she told them all to come and Sc
lect flower from her hat. The boys
with hands grim and bronzed from camp
life, carefully culled them from the
straw frame until they were all gone.
Then she put on what was left of it, and,
stepping back toward the car, said with
emotion:
Boys, I wish there were more. ]
hope you will come back again, and that
those flowers will remind you Of the
pleasant scenes of home, and guide you
as your dear old mother would have
taught you to CO."
There were several girls standing close
by who whispered: 81 wouldn't ruin
my hat that way" but the wiser heads
remarked: There is loyal American
woman = God bless her" - Denver

COST OF MLLIIARLSM.

General Corbin has made his annual
report and sums up the military forces
Of the nation as being, regular army
64.5S8. volunteers "a STA, making total
of SO, ,160 men in the service. OF these
"a, ,229 are in the United States, 1888
in Porto Rico, II, ,187 in Cuba. 80, ,315 in
the Philippines, 1909 en- route to the
islands, 400 in Alaska, and 466 in
Hawaii. In his report General Corhin
adds that by Decent her 1st there will
be q force of 2117 officers and 63,608
enlisted men in the Philippines. In
short his report shows that the United
States now has q standing army of
aproximately 100000.
The cost of maintaining this organ
ization bids fair to be one Of the
heaviest burdens the people will be
called upon to bear. The salaries of a
single regiment for year amount to
3244,5OO, and the provisioning and
clothing an equal amount, while the
euuippiug and arming amounts to some
s1OO, 900, thus making the cost of mann
tain,ng . single regiment about $780,
600 per annum. In full regiment
there are 1000 enlisted men, whose
pay for year amounts to $156, 900, one
colonel at $500, one lieutenaIt-colon.

captains at 81 800, ten first ieutenants

ASTORIA,S AMBITION.

The Astorlan makes US weary. It
insists that Astoria be made a terminal
point by the various railroad lines. In
other words. after one of the great
railroad companies has hauled grain
and other products to Portland, where
the same can be shipped to any port in
the world, then the transportation
line should pay the freight over the
Astoria railroad to Astoria. This is
pure. rampant idiocy. No business
man would eyer entertain such q
proposition.
Astoria can obtain her desire to be
made q terminal point only in one
way. And that is to make 1t to the
interests of the various railroads to
grant the privilege. If Astoria can
charter q vessel for. less rate than
Portland. let her do it. She can get
millions of bushels of wheat from The
Dalles shipped down the Columbia; she
can tap the Willamette valley by boats
as far south as Engene,-always to
Salem and Albany Let her get the
vessels to load and the facilities for
grain, and the firms to buy
it, and In one season-if her claims Of
to Portland are demon
railroad companies will
be forced to make her terminal
point, or else lose large share of their
business. Give patient but tired
people rest.

partments of each regiment, for a
single regiment. These estimates are
for peace basis, but General Co-bin
makes this recommendation as to the
pay of officers who are located away
from home:
"The pay of all officers below the
grade of brigadier- general should be
increased at least 80 1-3 per cent. while
on duty in Cuba or our new possess
sions. Most of these gentlemen have
families that they are unable to have
with them, and, therefore, are COM
PEELED to maintain two establishments.
Also, that provision be made that all
officers below the grade of maJor-gen-
eral, who retire by reason OF age or
wounds received in action, shall do 50
on the next grade above the rank held
by them in the regular army on the
date of their retirement.
This will no doubt be accepted by
congress, and the salaries of the offi.
GERS of a single regiment serving
abroad will be s1l5,0OO a year, this
added to the pay of the enlisted men
will make $271 900 year that salaries
of regiment cost the country, and
for the 100 regiments the cost to the
government will be oyer $27 .OOO. 600
year. And add to this the cost of sup.
plies, which will be more than double
the salaries, then our army. under the
present system of militarism will be an
expense of not less than S75.OOO,OOO
upon the people. Then there is the
navy to keep up, which has in thespast
few years been greater expense than
the army, hence we can expect our
militarism to cost us in the. neighbor-
hood of $3.50. 600. 900 a year. This ia
what Imperialism and expansion will
cost the country, and if anybody can
figure out that we will derive that
much clear cash benefit from them, we
may say that the systems are advan-
tageous to the nation from financial
point of view.

WHICH SHALL IT BEg

In his Thanksgiving proclamation
the president has correctly enumerated
many of the blessings of the past yeal
for which the American people should
be deyoutly thankful to Almighty
God.
1t Is in this new direction indicated
by Mr.. Mckinley as the legitimate
channel for the overflow of American
gratitude that the presidents procla'
nation differs radically from the
speeches 30 freely delivered during his
recent campaign tour through the
West.
In those speeches President Nc
Kinley displayed no inclination to
resign to the Almighty credit for the
manifold blessings bestowed upon the
American people of late. Quite to the
contrary, indeed. He distinctly claim
ed that each and every one of those
blessing arose from the benefcent
policy of the Mckinley administration
and the wisdom and goodness of the
republican national organization. If
God had hand in the matter it was
not then visible to the president.
And, very likely, having now as q
matter of mere form and ceremony in
timated that it might be just as we'll to
thank the Creator instead of the Nc
Kinley administration on the next
Thanksgiving day, the president will
again revert to his original position.
From now until after the presidential
election OF 1900 it is not probable that
God Almighty will be credited with
any achievement that would serve to
increase the administration prestige.

president can spare as things now
