The Facts OF the Situation.

Although the wal in the Philippines
is Mr.. McKinley's own-Congress never
having declared 1.-THE American peo-
pie are fighting and paying for it,
They are, therefore, entitled to full
and trustworthy information concern
ing it. A double censorship at Manila
and at Washington keeps this informa-
ton from the people. But these facts
are not denied:
/. The war has now lasted for 139
days, or % days longer than our war
with Spain. ehold, after this period,
less of the territory than Spain occupied
and less than we held in Augu: f last
year. The rebel forces arc now more
troublesome than at any former
time.
2. The war has cost nearly 700 men
killed, G,5OO wounded, 10000 invalided.
1t has cost SG3, 600, 900 in money and is
costing nearly 100000 Il day. Our
losses in the fighting in Cuba which
resulted in the surrender OF Santiago
and the end of the war with Spain were
about $50 killed and 1890 wounded.
Our losses in Porto Rico were " killed
and DO wounded.
3. There have been sent to Gen. Otis
3S, 900 men. Some 4,5W more are under
sail orders. The President has decided,
it is said, quietly to enlist the $4,000
volunteers he was authorized by Con-
gress to add to the army for temporary
use.
1. According to the best expert tes-
timony it will take from 100000 to l5O,-
900 troops to subdue the tillplnos and
hold the principal points in the islands.
). The rainy season will soon put an
end to campaigning. Fifty per cent
Of our men will bc incapacitatcd by
sickness and the territory ovcrrlm will
have to be abandoned; Manila Will be
in state of seize again. This is the
testimony of Dir. Mctlueston, late OF
Gen. OTIS staff. and health officer at
Manila.
6. The Presidents peace commission
is II total failure. owing largely to its
inability to consider any terms except
unconditional surrender and absolute
submission to the Sovereignty OF the
United Statcs.'
This is not Il pleasing picture. 1t is
neither benevolent assimilation nor
successful conquest. 1t has ali the ap-
pcarancc of foolish and futile and
endless guerilla war. If Mr.. Mckinley
can ''crush the insurrcctiOn by an over
whclming force as his supporters are
urging him to do, it is manifcstly the
part of wisdom for him to DO so. There
is neither honor nor profit III permit
ting this unnecessary and Un-Amcrlcan
war to drag on into another year.

An Old Idea Exploded.

That burglars OF t!,c NOR, advanced
type can and do use chloroEorm in the
commission of their crimes is a belief
widely held and rarely contradictcd,
and yet there is. curiously, little foun-
dation for it. Indeed. those who are
most familiar with the administration
and effects of anacsthctics assert that
there is no foundation at all for it cX-
cept in the imagination of sensational
writer's and in the needs OF people
whose losses cannot safely be explain
ed by statements OF fact. The ques-
ton has been raised at Pittsburg re-
Gently by several robberies at which
chlorof0rm is said to have been en-
ployed, and opinions of the local ex-
perts are strongly against the possibll-
ity of such use. One of the physicians
interviewed is quoted as saying: LAS
far as known, chloroform and ether
have never taken effect OH healthy
sleeping person without that person
knowing it. Both OF these anacsthet-
les are at first stimulating and invig-
Grating in their effect and will arouse
sleeping person. The entire system
is excited and the heart beats violently
and fast. The use of either chlorO-
form or ether, or any other anaesthetic,
by burglars is absurd. 1t frequently
takes physicians with their various
appliances from 10 to fifteen minutes
to put Il person under the influence OF
either Of these ahacsthctics. and often
a patient vii! become so stimulated
and active before the effect is secured
that it requires several strong men to
hold him." The idea that the mere III
PRODUCTION Of chlorofOrm into room
would cause unconsciousness was de-
ri,lcd as absurd. Even it doors and
windows were alright, it would take
several gallons of either anacsthetic so
to fill 4 room with the heavy fumes as
to affect Il sleeper on IL bed OF average
height. And the first effect would be,
not deep sleep, but excited wakcful-
ness. The chances are. then, that
when anybody claims to have been
chloroformcd by burglars there is
something queer about the casc.-Er-

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications. ss they tann6t reach the
diseased portion of the ear There is only one
way to cure Deafness and that Is by constitu-
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflan-
ian Tube. When this.t tube gets indamed you have
a rumblirs round or imperfect hearing, and when
it is entirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will
be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by catarrah which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the r;ucous surfaces.

as a means of increasing her revenues,
