Afraid.


The Chicago Journal flaunts this list
of afraids at President Mckinley:
Afraid to send Miles.
Afraid to stop the war.
Afraid to call for large army.
Afraid not to.
Afraid to announce any policy in re-
gard to the Philippine islands.
Afraid to support the gold standard.
Afraid to stand for bimetallism.
Afraid to punish Oberlin NJ. Carter
for embezzling nearly two million dol
lars of the public moneys
Afraid to pardon him.
Afraid to attack the principle of
civil service reform.
Afraid to enforce the civil service
law.
Afraid to be a president instead of a
politician.
Afraid he won't be elected a second
time to the presidential office.
Afraid to be great, afraid to be
little, afraid to he his own man-no

The forced retirement of Gen. Rus

The forced retirement of Gen. Rus
sell a. Alger from the cabinet OF
President Mckinley affords striking
illustration of the fact that no man
can stand before the wrath of the
American people, whose virtuous in
dignation is properly and persistently
expressed. All that could be done for
Alger in d political way, and through
insincere endorsements of his war
management. awaited him nothing in
the face of popular disapproval, and
despite his protestations that he
would not retire under fire. the fury
of public scorn would permit of no
abatement even to give the secretary
the satisfaction of a calm withdraw wal.

cans in ignorance concerning matters
which Aguinaldo. who has no lack of
good spies within the American lines,
knows all about.
1.-The policy of suppression of news,
of slurring over mishaps and exagger-
atiug the Importance of successes
never pays. No censorship can keep
the truth hidden long, and when the
truth does leak out finally there is
much more irritation than if the facts
had been given fully ut once There
does not seem to be any reason why
the regular Manila correspondents,
who are trustworthy men, should not
be allowed to send unhampered all the
news. good or bad, they can find. pro-
vided, of course, they tell the truth,
and the presumption is that they will
do so. Americans want to know, and
have a right to know, all that their
soldiers are doing and suffering in
the Philippines. They have to sit in
judgment sooner or later on every
thing that has been done in LuZon.
No censor should be allowed to keep
the truth from them and no military
officers should be allowed to gull
them with deceptive bulletins. The
full truth should be told and the pres
ident should see it is done. Perhaps
he. too, has been misled by ultra
optimistic dispatches.

We ask you to believe what we say
about Morrow's kid-ne-oids~ because
we publish only facts. We are honest
in all our statements and we prove
our claim by respectable people. &.
Creiger, of Ottawa, gives his testi-
monv in favor of Morrow's Kid-ne-
oids just the same as many in Illinois
have done. Here is what he says:
Il had to give up my business just
on account of my back. My back was
so weak that it hurt me to use my
hammer, for it set every set of mus
cles into action and the cording of
them hurt the weak and tender kid
news. l had doctors, and L used kid
ney pills and many kidney remedies,
but they gave me no relief and my
case was pronounced incurable by the
physicians. 1 heard of Morrow's
Kid-ne-oids, which l got and used ac-
cording to directions. have gained
wonderfully since using them. 1 feel
almost well and 1 am sure l will be in
few weeks. Morrow's Kid-ne-oids
have done for me what doctors and
kidney pills have failed to do. They
have made my back strong and put
my kidneys in good condition.
Kid-ne-oids are not pills, but yellow
tablets, which is scientific form of
preparing of medicine. They cure
all kidney ailments. They are put
in wooden boxes which contain
enough for about two weeks treat
ment and sell at 30 cents box at Nj.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infiamed condition of the mucous lin
Ing of the eustachian tube. When
this tube is infiamed you have a rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, deafness is
the result, and unless the infiamma-
ton can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an infiamed
condition of the mucous surface.
We will give one hundred dollars
for any case of deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by
Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for circu-
lars, free.

THAT Censorship at Manila.

The Chicago Tribune, taking much
the same view of the question of
press censorship that THE ARGUS has
expressed, and speaking editorially of
the complaint made by the newspaper
correspondents at Manila against the
censorship of press dispatches there,
very aptly says: There is no ques-
ton that the censorship business at
Manila has been overdone. and that
as a consequence the people have been
able to learn tardily and imperfectly
through the mails what they ought to
have known at once. The official dis
patches fed out to the people have
been too roseate and caused many to
believe that the instruction was on
its last legs. Those dispatches have
given hopes as facts. There are &C.
casions when q rigid censorship of
press dispatches is proper and neces-
sary. That was the case during the
operations in Cuba. when whatever
was printed in American papers
reached the Spaniards in Cuba almost
Immediately. But Luzon is not Cuba.

The published interview with Mr..
pretty tart and and not altogether I'm
deserved criticism from the Mexican
press. He is rebuked for saying that
the Latin American countries are
barbarouly governed and is called a
filibuster who has made a fasco in
South Africa. Considering what his
record has been it is hardly worth
while to take him seriously, and it is
not likely that even the widest ex-
pansiOnist of our own country will
give much consideration to his almost
brutal judgments and counsel. Still,
the Mexican people can hardly be
blamed for feeling sensitive. Mr..
Rhodes has been a prominent figure
in the worlds affairs, whether for
good or ill, and for him to include
these people in the category of those
who are unfit to govern themselves
could hardly fail to arouse their right
eous indignation. It would hardly be
possible within human limitations to
give the Mexicans better govern
ment than they are enjoying today.
Mexico has one of the most hopeful
administrations Of fanny country on
earth. She is making gratifying
progress in the arts of peace. She is
good neighbor. and the national
spirit has been very strongly devel-
oped. New and better aspirations
have been at work, and the Me1icnn
Herald says, and no doubt trutnfully,
that President Diaz has SO firmly i'm
planted the ideas Of peace there, that
when he is dead his ideas will still
rule his fellow countrymen. No doubt

Count d'Almenas, a member of the
Spanish Cortes, is irreconcilable. He
refuses to be comforted because not
one Spanish General or Admiral has
been put to death. He complains
most bitterly that chests of gold sent
to Cuba were returned unopened,
with their contents intact. That GER
tainly is something new in Spanish
colonial administration, but the
ground of the Counts objection is not
quite clear. From military point of
view the surrender of General Toral
at Santiago and the surrender of Gen
eral Jaudenes at Manila were both
premature. Sagasta evidently or
dered Toral to surrender, hoping to
save Porto Rico. All the plans of the
government were upset by the disas
trous failure of the Spanish navy to
accomplish the task which had been
set for it; but the commanding Of
ficers were not to blame. The incom-
petence and unblushing corruption of
officers high in the councils of the
Spanish nation caused rebellion in the
colonies and inefnciency everywhere.
Instead Of hunting for Generals to be
shot and Admirals to be hanged,
Spain has need Of reform in her do
nestle and colonial administration.
The Count will not be pacified, but he
must content himself without a scape
goat this time.-ECcbdnge
