TIE Nations Shame

The Eastern Shore Herald says
We have been frequently struck with
the large numbers Of bloated, drunken,
whiskcy soaked old peglegs from the
soldiers home near Hampton that are
always evident on the railroad and
steamboat lines touching at Old Point
When one thinks that these are but
scattering specimens Of the great army
OF pensioners who use the one hundred
and fifty millions of dollars in living
their lives Of immoral and drunken
debaucbery, it is nauseating TO the
senses. Those revolving specimens q
human beings who more resemble
funky old beer yats than men, whose
immoral, shameless lives are but on
plane with the loathsome drunkards
that they are, these polluted lepers
fastened in an evil hour upon the help
less people Of this country, parade them
selves before US daily and are a marplot
upon the fair fame of any country. We
strain our imaginatiOns in vain to con-
ceiye what lessons Of patriotism these
rum soaked carcasses are set to teach f.,
and we fail to see by what law Of right
these disgusting patriots (0 can be al
lowed to have money from the public
treasury for such purposes. There is no
blacker shame in the political history
of the United States since.the civil war
than is evident in the living examples
in every military pest house Of this
country. Yet with these before our
eyes the Republican administration is
adding fresh boards to the list OF
young men too, for whom we might
pray God forbid such fate. This is
the saddest chapter enacted in the
American. Spanish Philippine war and
this but the beginning of our i'm
perialistic career as nation. There
can be but one final result.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

When thi, tube gets inilamed you have a

when it is entirely closed deafness is the re-

MONTOIOS S VESSELS RlOOLEO
Larger percentage Hit Than in Fight
Of July 3.

Lieut.. John NJ. Elliott Of the Balti-
more has forwarded to the Navy De-
partment a report on the effects Of the
gun fire Of Dewey's feet upon the
Spanish war vessels ia the battle of
Manila bay. II describes in detail the
effect Of every shot from the American
fleet, and proves that Montojo's vessels
were ridded by perfect storm OF shot
and she'll from the American guns.
There was a much lager percentage Of
hits at Manila then at Santiago This
is accounted for by the fact that
Dewey's fleet made deliberate attack
with most Of the enemy's ships at rest d.
while the appearance Of Oeryera's feet
of Santiago was unexpected and 1t
was a running fight Lieut.. Elliott
makes the following points as a result
of his examination Of the subject
1. The sides Of iron and steel built
cruisers do not arrest projectiles enough
to explode them.
,. The incendiary effect Of bursting
8.inch shells is great, and far greater
than would seem proportionate to that
Of lower calibres.
g. At ranges over 500 yards the gun
shields Of cruisers are in no sense a
protection. but insure the annihilation
Of the guns crew and the disabling OF
the gun if struck by large projectile.
4. Warships Of the present day will
generally be placed hors du combat by
conAagration and the destruction OF
their personnel before they are sunk by
