The San Francisco Chronicle" holds
the Democratic press responsible for the
promotion of the army beef scandal.
Ihe thought Of the paper is that the
Democracy as a political scheme origi-
mated and pushed on through its press
the beef inquiry in political animosity
% the Republican Administration. II
is conceded that the public protest was
at the first general and non-partisan,
hut that when the defects complained
of had been remedied, the Democracy
continued the agitation as political tao
tics, the opportunity to discredit the
Administration being too good to be
lost. We are not willing to credit this
statement. 1t is true that some few
Democratic, journals have been extreme
in their abuse of the War Department
and have gone to unwarranted lengths.
But the complaint about the beef was
so general, and the criticisms of the
press regardless Of party predictions
so varied and distributed, that it is
scarcely fair to charge the Democratic
pauers with low scheming in the mat
ter. Even if true, such effort would
dt feat itself. The people are quick to
discern partisan chicane in such mat
ters. The beef scandal has been car
ried beyond bounds and made deal
more of than was justified The effort
to furnish our soldiers in tropic cli-
mates with something better than the
usual ration proved a failure in the
first instance. Upon that there was a
frenzied appeal made for investigation,
and it was ordered by the Administra-
ton regardless of the prodding some of
the sensational Democratic journals
kept up. Their roaring had no effect
uron the Administration. and we think
had very little to do with the forma-
ton of public opinion in the premises

A BENEFIT OF WAR.

The thought of the New York 'Inde-
pendent" that war, a great evil and al
ways deplorable, has yet its benefits in
beng a tonic to our literature is a
rovel idea, but possessed Of much
strength. The argument for this view
is that war shocks human nature to its
profoundest depths, rearranging the
atoms, so to speak, by which vision,
apprehension, taste and Judgment have
been renewed and freshened The ap-
peal to the sentiment of patriotism stirs
the courage of men, braces their faith
in themselves, and awakens large SYM
pathy and masterful resentment Thus
the trumpets and drums Danish largely
the pestilential conditions which made
it possible for US to brook and even en-
courage a literature reeking with evil.
The Independent" continues:
Whenever art becomes too familiar
with the shady side of commercial
methods, as it somehow always seems
to do in the course of a long period of
peace, it more and more partaa.es of
unconscionable things and grows fab

The decision of the City and County
Attorney of San Francisco, concerning
the collection of the poll TAX, is unques-
tinnabIy correct. The State law pro-
vides that the employer must secure
from the wages Of the empJoye, the
poll tax of the latter, and ii he fails to
do so, judgment may be had against
him. In the case of Federal employees
the attorney holds that the collection
must be made from them direct, and
that heads of departments of the Fed
eral Government, cannot be held to ac
count for the non payment by the en-
ploye This because the Federal Gov
eminent cannot be garnisheed or held
Ill judgment by the State. In other
words the State cannot compel the

Notwithstanding that great number
of people have been cured of chronic
catarrh by taking Pe-ru-na during the
past cold season, yet it cannot be denied
that the cold, wet, stormy winter has
retarded many cures, and in some cases
actually prevented cure.
General SIS. Yoder, ex-M Member of Con-
gress from Ohio in recent letter to DIR.
Hartman, speaks of Pe-ru-na as follows:
WASHINGTON, D. G.
Pe-ru-na Drug Mfg Co., Columbus, O.:
Gentlemen-I desire to say that have
found Pe-ru-na to be wonderful rem
edy.. only used it for short time and
am thoroughly satisfied as to its merits.
I cannot find words to express my graft
fication for the results obtained. AS
catarrh cure 1 shall gladly recommend
it to all sufferers.

attention, temper, and aspiration tc dis
infect the whole area of life. Then
comes war We realize death,
and suffering worse than death; we see
the real grandeur of human self-sacri-
fee; brotherhood reveals itself; sister
hood takes on-a heavenly robe and
aureole in the nursing camp; pessimis'n
disappears; life is worth living; death
has its Splendor.
Such a sudden and radical change in
our point of view can not fail to show
itself in OUT art as it surely does in cur
life. Tolstoy's fiabby doctrine OF aD-
solute non-resistance of evil, Zola's
apotheosis of filth Thomas Hardy's

exist, but in utter impotence to affect

hundreds of thousands of people will
die there for want of. food is now un-
questioned OF all the horrors famine
in Russia includes we will never know
the full truth, but we will hear enough
to make our hearts ache. We will be
compelled to understand that while the
storehouses of Russia contain vast
surplus as can be used to stay the
famine wholly. OF course a good deal
can be and will be done by the Car,
who is anything but unsympathetic,
wealth of the nation will be poured out
freely to buy food, but here is a case
where even gold will not avail at once,
since thousands must die before pur-
chased succor can reach them.
To strip the home granaries wholly
and send food into the eleven famishing
districts which constitutes an area
greater than that of all the Atlantic
sible, because there are other millions
who must be fed and to transfer the
scene of famine accomplishes no good
The Government is dispensing money
in great works to give employment to
all it can possibly utilize, even by
show of labor, and is thus doing great
deal to mitigate the famine. 1t can be
trusted to leave no stone unturned in
t1,O+ n n
in the way of extending sympathy, is
very little. If we shipped food but a
small part could reach and be dispensed
in the suffering districts before thous-
ands have fallen.
1t is even doubtful if we would be
permitted to make much of an attempt;
doubtful if the more ignorant of the
lowly sufferers would accept our aid.
Nevertheless if there is aught America
can do to save any of these starving
Russians we will be impelled by the
throb of our sympathies to undertake it.
Meanwhile we will reflect that bad as
famine is, it is largely due to the igno-
rance in which the Russian peasantry
is plunged; the eXclusiveness and des
potism that withholds them from
knowledge of better things and how to
better their conditions. OF advanced
industrial enterprise they know very lit
tie. Millions are dominated by super
stitious ignorance, and hence it is that
so many Russian producers ara helpless
as infants in the face of famine.
a people like our own would avail
of the infinite resources at their COM
mand. They would use their wits to
meet the distress, and with a great
measure of success, We may be assured
But the Russian farmer will simply face
his fate and do nothing. The famines
of the past seem to have taught him
nothing. He is in a groove out of which
he has not made a lateral movement
and very little of a forward order for
centuries.
With the advent of new railways, the
completion of the Trans Siberian line
the opening up of the interior of the
empire to world trade influences, the
better education of the masses, the dis
semination Of the light of discovery and
| invention, there will pass away much
of the danger of famine, and conditions
will set up as they have in Ireland, in
! India and other parts of Great Britain

TWO REMARKABLE CURES
Of Two Prominent and Well Known
People.
A Catarrh Cure That Cures.
Some Seasonable Spring Sayings.

Springtime has come at last, and now
is the time for all catarrh sufferers to
begin a systematic course of treatment
for this disease. The greatest difficulty
in the way of treating chronic catarrh is
that the patient is so liable to catch
cold during the treatment and thus delay
the cure. This liability at this season
of the year is, in great measure, re-
moved, and no one should neglect the
opportunity to begin treatment.

New Soldier of the Legion.

A soldier of the legion lay starving in the
camp,
The girls were not about him, for the
grass il was to damp,
And he loathed the cold potato and the
bread which broke his fast.
And wept for the cold bottles and hot
birds that were past.
And comrade knelt beside him in the
chill and falling dew,
AS ne heard Of the deserters, and he
swore he'd skip off too
While the boys were serenadin., just to
make the colonel kind.
Playing softly playing sadly, playing
Bacon on the Rind."
Said soldier Of the legion as he heard
the music's storm,
"Give my best girl the brass buttons
which are my uniform.
She can fix her shirt waist with them
she can wear them on string,
On the string where she has had me fol
amonth or more by jung,
/ would dare all dangers for her, never
show the foe my back,
But the dravest heart will weaken after
three days OF hanback,"
Then the soldier OF the legion left the
infantry behind,
And the band kept on playing, playing
Bacon on the Rind."
