A Case OF a Republics Ingratitude.

few days ago, when Boston was
wild with enthusiasm over the pres
ence of Admiral Dewey, Admiral
Sampson came TO that city unnOticed
and quietly assumed his new duties as
commandant of the navy yard. y few
days before, he had lowered his PEN
nant from the flagship of the North
Atlantic squadron, closing with simple
ceremony one Of the most notable
commands ever held by an American
naval officer Admiral Sampson de
serves better of his country than he is
receiving. His new post is one Of
honor, to he sure. and his worth and
well appreciated in official circles. but
to the country at large his name does
what he did to bring to a speedy and
decisive close the war with Spain. 1t

memorable Sunday morning in July.

stance by the over Jealous friends of
Admiral Schley. second in command i'll
the fleet.
1t is to be hoped that history will
give Sampson his true place and do
him justice. The victory off Santiago
was his, as much as the victory in
Manila bay belonged to Dewey. 1t
was not SO dramatic and did not lead
to results now 50 wildly before the
minds Of the people, but from the point
of naval success alone. Admiral Samp-
son did as great a work as Admiral
Dewey. The latter made brilliant
dash because he had to; he fearlessly
encountered unknown odds; did his
work with cOnsumate skill, and by his
diplomacy and general conduct after
his victory added to the high regard in
which his cOuntrymen held him. Then
it was the first blow Of the war, the
iTSl ldNdl ' lctbIN III IL generation, ana
it was on the other side of the world.
No one will attempt to dim the great
and deserved popularity Of the hero Of
Manila. but it should not be allowed
to cause forgetfulness of the fleet and
men that trapped Cerpera and de-
stroyed his squadron. t
Admiral Sampson s4eanducted the
difficult blockade with greatest skill.
There was nothing spectacular about
it, but it was far from an easy or
pleasant duty. There was no dash in

The Columbia's Second victory.

1t was another victory for the
| Columbia, yesterday, but it was not
| won under such satisfactory condi-
! tions as that of the previous day. Al
after the start. by which the English
yacht lost part of it's top mast and its
| club top sail. disabled that boat and
left the Columbia to finish the course
| alone. The wind was even better than
on the previous day, and the Column
bia went over the 30-mile triangular
course in good time and in handsome
style. The Columbia led from the
start, and the Shamrock would in all
probability have lost anyway, accident
or no accident, but there is small
pleasure or satisfaction in winning Il
race over a disabled competitor.
Nevertheless, it was condition.
fully agreed upon. weeks ago, that IL
one of the yachts should be disabled
in race the victory should count for
the other. provided it could cover the
course inside the time limit. rule Is
n rule. and it is simply unfortunate
for the challenger that it should be the
one TO suffer from an accident. Under
this understanding, the victory is Il
| fair and clean one for the Columbia.
Moreover. is it only right that it should
be considered one of the tests of Su-
| periority in yacht racing. that a yacht
should be well enough built and well
enough handled to escape any such ac-
cident as befell the Shamrock yester-
day. If there should be any protest
however, from Sir Thomas Upton, or
any charge from the friends of the
British boat that our victory under the
circumstances is unsportsmanlike, it is
certain the Columbia would be willing
and glad to sail the race over. Any
way, one more race remains to be
sailed. and Thursday is the day set
today being allowed the Shamrock to
make repairs. Let us hope that the
third race may not be marred by any
accident. and that the gallant Column
bia may make it three straight.

A GREAT TRUTH.

All organized living things, whether be-

dom contain within themselves the germs
of death and decay.
Germs of disease are often generated
within the human system through lHnPeI
&C., DIGESTION of food, producing various
ro;sous which scientists have denominated
bIoyo;ues A stomach weakened by abuse,
goroed with over eating or over burdened
With hot bread too rich or greasy foods or
those too highly seasoned, becomes weak
ened and fails to thoroughly digest the
food. A heavy, sodden mass Is accumi-
lated in the stomach to ferment as the first
step in its decay, giving off foul gasses to
distend the stomach, and poison the blood,
until it becomes thin, weak and lacking in
the red corpuscles SO necessary to perfect
health.
The over distended stomach presses upon
the heart, and the latter organ is also dis
turbed through sympathy, the same system
of nerves being distributed to both organs.
Thus palpitation and irregular action of the
heart with its attendant shortness of breath,
result, and in time disease of the heart
itself is established.
The gases and other poisons generated
from undigested, fermenting and decay
