stor-skinned individuals that ever
lheld a public Office, Alger is the
toughest. With a unanimity nnpa-
rallied in history, friend and foe alike
have demanded his resignation, par
ttisan and opponent have scathed
him with denunciation, and the entire
press of the country have rebuked
him, abused him, insulted him, but
xHith an effrontry so brazen that it
rdisgusts, this man still dares to hold
ION to his high office, and use it for a
vantage ground to gain other posi-
stions.
Alger and Algerism will bring the
fblush to the cheek of Americans until
oblivion shall have blotted out his
name and the recollection of it.

In the present condition of affairs.
the question is not expansion or anti
expansion, but whether. we shall pusiI-
lanimously turn our backs upon the
foe, and abandon all that American
heroism and valor have won. How
ever much we may differ about policy
in the Philippines ,sWe should be a unit
as long as a hostile aims a gun, and
until the way is made clear by the
complete conquest of Aguinaldo and
his tribesmen, the anti-expansionist
press should temper their diatribes to
moderation and give to our soldiers
sailors the comfort and encourage
ment they SO freely extend to the
enemy. It is useless to bewaii the
circumstances which necessitated our
occupancy Of the islands, we are on
fronted by the fact that we HAVE oc-
cupied them, and having made the
step, it would be cowardice to retrace
it. Let us first crush the enemy and
then the anti-expansionists can exer-
clse that 'sfreedom of the press
without hurt to their countrymen who
are sacrificing their lives at the front,
the shield and spear Of the republic.

Bloodless Battles.

Our friend General Hemphill OF
the Abbeville, Is. CO. Medium, like
many other old soldiers, has grown
weary reading. the accounts of the
terrible battles in the Philippines,
where only one man is killed, and
fearing the younger generation may
think it is a real warfare he tells of
the genuine article:
But it makes an old soldier tired to
hear of a desperate battle in which
only,one mar is killed.
Not long ago the Filipinos used
some light artillery all day against
the American forces. The news
papers spoke Of this artillery being
used with s'terrifc effect when the
truth is that only ten men were hurt
during the day and many of them
were wounded by the infantry. 1t is
said that this artillery was handled by
Spaniards because the Filipinos don't
know how to use artillery. In the
next sentence, it is said that the Fill
pinos are better soldiers, Drawer men
and more intelligent than our Ameri-
can soldiers.
The truth is that there has not
been a real square fight near Manila
yet. There has hardly been Askir-
mish of respectable size. Our SOL
diers are not even warmed up and
there is nosreason for our tory editors
to be frightened.
To show what var means we give
below a statement of some Of the
losses of the 9TH S. G.. V. during the
"War between the States" We had
the honor of belonging to that gallant
command for one year at the first of
the war and we a say that it was
never in a ssterrible battle'' where
only one mar was killed. When the
regiment went to Virginia it num-
bered about 1000 men and up to the
Wilderness campaign in 1864 the
losses in the regiment IN battle were
as follows:
Malvern Hill, 2 officers and 38
men.
Savage Station, 2 officers and 80
men.
Maryland Heights, 6 officers and
1O7 men.
Sharpsburg, Is officers and 124
men.
Fredericksburg, s officers and IS
men.
Charlottesville, Is men.
Gettysburg, Is officers and 80
men.
Chickamadga, IL officers and ~
men,.
Knoxville, Ii men,
Bean Station, 4 men.
In skirmishing, / oficer,and 2 men.
Total $50. {.
In the Wilderness campaign down
to Petersburg the regiment lost 16
officers and $50 men. Up to the sur
render the losses a up to 904 Off
GER and men.
There is not a brave survivor of
that command who does not smile at
the idea of a desperate battlein which
one man was killed.

The Coming of Baby.

When a baby comes to the house
real happiness comes. The care and
anxiety count for nothing against the
clinging touch of the little hands and
the sound of the little voice. The
highest function given to human be-
ings is bringing healthy, happy chill
dren into the world. Over thirty years
ago the needs of women appealed to
DR.. Pierce, now chief consulting ply
sician to the Invalids Hotel and Sur
gical Institute, of Buffalo, n. Y. The
result of his study improved by thirty
years of practice is embodied in DR..
Pierce's Favorite Prescription. 1t
strengthens, purifies and makes health
the organs distinctly feminine. 1t
gives weak woman the strength and
health necessary for the production of
healthy children and it makes the
bearing of those children easy. 1t is
sure to cure any weakness or derange-
ment peculiar TO women; stops pain,
soothes Inflammation, strengthens
purifies, invigorates.

De ath Of Miss Mary Catharine
Goldsborough.

Miss Mary Catharine GoldsbOr
ough, daughter Of the late DR..
Edward Y. and Margaret Colds
borough, and a woman widely
known and esteemed, died at her
home on West Patrick street, on
SUNDAY evening last, after an
illness of some weeks, aged Y
years. The direct cause of her
death was general debility and
the collapse of a constitution
once so strong and hearty. Her
relatives were at the bedside
when the tired spirit departed
for its eternal home.
The deceased was one of the
oldest residents of this city, where
she was born and passed the
greater portion of her life She
was well acquainted with many
of the great men of the Olden
time, who at various times visited
Frederick and who were always
entertained by her. She moved
in high social circles i'll Washing
ton and other cities and was al .
ways the recipient of every court
esy
Miss Goldsborough was a
cousin of Rear Admiral Winfield
Scott Schley, and upon his recent
visit to Frederick, spent the time
at her hone, where he was hand
somely entertained.
Miss GoldsborOugh devoted
much of her time to works of
christian piety and charity, and
was one of the most ardent and
interchangeable workers in All
Saints Episcopal Church. Her
kind deeds are numberless and
many will miss her gracious and
benevolent disposition. For many
years she has been one of the
managers of the Episcopal Or
phan Asylum.
Surviving is one brother, Ma
jor Il. Y. Goldsborough, of this
city; two nephews, Ralston, of
this city, and Edward Y, of Bal
timore, and one niece, Mrs. Rich
ard NJ. Duvall, of the same place.
! Funeral took place on Tuesday
afternoon at $50 p. m, from All
Saints Church, and interment
was made in Mt. Olivet Cemetery.
