Grain-O Brings Relief

To the coffee drinker. Coffee drink
ing is habit that is universally in
dulged in and almost as universally
injurious. Have you tried Grain-O?
1t is almost like coffee, but the effects
are just the opposite. Coffee upsets
the stomach, ruins the digestion, af-
fects the heart and disturbs the whole
nervous system. Grain-O tones up
the stomach, aids digestion and
strengthens the nerves. There is
nothing but nourishment in Grain-O.
1t can't be otherwise. Is and % cents

THE INTELLIGENCER.
WHEELING, SEPTEMBER 81, 1890


1t is Characteristic OF Admiral Dewey
to make his appearance on a scene
when he isn't expected. 1t was true at
Manila and It was true at New York
yesterday, But what contrast there
was between the circumstances OF the
two appearances. In the frst instance
he was on mission Of war. In the sec
ond instance he comes to render an
account Of that mission, crowned with
the laurels OF grateful nation, and
bearing the highest honor that Ma
tion can confer on a naval commander.
Though little ahead Of the scheduled
time. our great hero will not be de-
prlved of the splendid reception. which
the metropolis Of the great country
whose honor he upheld on the seas, has
prepared for him on an elaborate scale.
No event since the close of the civil
war has occurred in naval circles Of
greater Importance and significance
than thIs-save with the exception that
Dewey comes to his home to be greeted
by united country. never to be severed
again. which unanimously joins in the
glorious welcome. and to render tribute
TO skill, courage, diplomacy and do him
the credit with teRfold the emphasis of
that shown by other nations.

mIral Dewey as no other national hero

Future ofthc philippines.

One Of the Intelligencer's valued ex-
changes is a bI-monthly published at
Manila, and It's name is Freedom"
The news 1t contains is not calculated
to bring comfort and sympathy to the
ACuinaldIans in the United States. In
the issue OF August is. which came TO
hand yesterday. there are two striking
editorials, which are worthy review.
Under the heading Equal to Rlon-
dixie" Freedom says that the question
has been often asked, do the Philippines
contain much gold? Everything that
has been written on the subject, so far
as we have been able to ascertain. an
swers the question in the affirmative.
Ever since Magellan discovered these
islands In the sixteenth century people
have found gold in the Philippines.
The history of the Islands from creation
have told Of this precious metal, SO
that. until to-day. there are whole
chapters OF finds and discoveries in
these treasure islands Of the Pacific.
At the time of Dewey's great victory
saws Freedom, the Americans knew
little OF the resources of the islands.
Histories were dug up, and miners from
all parts Of the United States were
among the volunteers, who came with
the intention of prospecting after they
were released from the government
service: A miners union was formed
for the purpose OF exploring the Islands.
OF course. the instruction has inter-
rupted the plans, but American pluck
and perseverance will yet find way Of
Getting at II. It is known that there

Another editorial in Freedom is ad-
dressed to the antI-expansIonists Who
with reference to the Islands, wants to
know what we viii do with them'"
In the first place, says Freedom, we Will
completely and everIastingly smash
