In commenting on the pralscworthy
rcjoicings of the New York World over
the general prosperity Of the country
and the raising OF wages in almost
every industry, the New York Press In
squires. "but ought not the World and
other bitter enemies of the Dingley law

true? How many times were we warn

DR.. Days Innings.

DR.. DAILY got snubbed by the war COM
mission inquiry, but had his innings be-
fore the military court Of inquiry and
he seems to set forth pretty clearly
that some of the beef furnished the
army was chemically treated. or as 1t Is
more POLITICALLY put, embalmed. So far
the military court has been more pro-
ductlve of revelations In this line than
was the war commission.
The most pertinent part Of his testi-
mony was included in Days statement
in response to ageneralquestion in (which
he said he had come into much informa-
ton confirmatory of what he had testi-
fed to, but which had come to him in a
confidential way, rendering 1t impossi-
BILE for him to give the names Of those
supplying the facts. In truth. ban
had been placed upon the information.
He thought that some forty or fifty per-
sons had spoken to him In corrobora-
ton Of what he had said. These were
the proprietors Of slauShterins houses
and the manufacturers of chemicals.
One manufacturer had told him that he
would have been compelled to so out
of business but for the patronage of the
beef men. He said after some ques-
tloning that he would ascertain whether
he could give the names of these people
to the court.

WHEELING. APRIL o, 1900.


If George Washington AguInnldo-as
i Senator Hoar Is pleased to call him
knows upon which side his bread is
olcomargarined he will throw UP his
hands before the proclamation OF the
United States commission obtains ex-
teEsive circulation among the FilipInos
The accomplished Hong Kong liars who
have been writing the Junta's manlfes-
tos might as well so out of business,
too, for the proclamation is sure to de-
range their time pieces. The campaign
of misrepresentation so ably conducted
by the Filipino imperator Is surely at an
end, for the document issued by the
American commission sets forth clearly
just what this country intends to do,
and pledges Its solemn word to carry
out its promises to these deIuded peo-
pies. The commission timed It's publi-
cation at happy moment. Had it
been Issued before the insurgents were
decisively defeated it would have been
construed by. them as an act Of weak
ness.
1t contains many vital points which
answer all the questions asked by the
leaders of the Filipino insurrection. and
most important of all is the one which
specifically disclaims for the United
4 States the exploitation Of the islands
for the benefit of the United States. In
cidentally this answers the cavaliers at
10, too
what they call Imperialism. 1t is these
misguided declaimers against the SOL
emn duty of the United States who have
afforded more aid and comfort to the
Bolivar of the Philippines" than all
the supposedly sympathetic nations Of
Europe.
The proclamation may not satisfy
those Filipinos who are fighting for the
Offices and emoluments they would en-
JOY as an independent government until
some European power suppressed them,
but 1t must satisfy an who are fighting
against oppression and all who desire
liberal institutions and the prosperity
OF their Islands. 1t will satisfy all rea-
sonable and Intelligent friends of the is
landcrs in this country. 1t amply justi-
fies cur position before the world.
Within the limits OF efficient ndminls-
tration and the sovereign rights and re-
sponsibilities Of the United States the
people Of the islands will be permitted
to work out their own destiny.
What our officers have accomplished
I in portions OF Cuba and Porto Rico Is u
guarantee of what they will accomplish
In the Philippines.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

By local applications. MS they cannot
reach the diseased portion Of the ear.
There is only one way>to cure deafness,
and that Is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infamed con-
dition OF the mucous lining Of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube gets in
famed you have n rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when It Is en-
tlrely closed deafness Is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to It's normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh. which is nothing but an in
famed condition OF the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case Of Deafness tcaused by ca
tarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls
Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free.

Tho Cuban Assembly.

The Cuban military assembly was
wise In It's decision to dissolve. in spite
of the fact that 1t was the only thing it
could do. 1t would have displayed
greater wisdom. however. had 1t dis
solved long ago. especially before It did
the very ungraceful act of deposing
that old patriot and fighter. General
Gomez. 1t seems to have had
Just enough wisdom left to
heed the popular cutlery against 1t.
In the first place 1t arrogated to itself
powers that the United States under no
circumstances could recognize, and in
refusing the very generous, offer OF
ss.0OO.OOO to pay off the Cuban troops It
created very bad impression In this
country.
1t was not exactly patriotism that in
spired the members Of the assembly to
hold out for larger sum, but cupidity.
There was Gomez, who had done all the
fighting and without n cent in his
pocket. who at once realized the gener-
oslty OF the United States, and who be-
came disguised with the insistcnce OF
the assembly In holding out Its hand in
the attitude OF asking aims. But the
solution OF the difficulty Is n happy one.
the muster rolls Of the Cuban army will
be handed over to General Brooke, the
men will be paid Off and disarmed and
the army of occupation will have n
chance TO restore complete tranquility
to the island, and bring lasting peace
and prosperity to all Of Its people.

SENATOR HoAR.
Good man Who has Gone Wrong
His Inconsistencies. y.

Washington Post: Hon. George F..
Hoar, the senator from Massachusetts,,
has no more sincere admlrer and we'll
wisher than the Post. We believe him
to be an honorable and conscientious
man. patriotic citizen and wise
law-giyer. Moreover, he is an accomp-
llshed scholar, and an earnest and
palnstaklng publicist. Itwould be In
possible for US to,question the genuine
ness Of Mr.. Hoar's convictions or to
doubt the high and noble purpose Of
any enterprise Of which he was the au-
thor. It remains fact, however, that
Mr.. Hoar Is only human, after all. He
Is capable Of errors and misapprehen-
sion, and we need no better illustration
OF this than his present attitude with
reference to the Philippines.
Mr.. Hoar Is not only mistaken. He
Is inconsistent also, for while he Is now
denouncing our policy Of expansion In
the Philippines, he Is on record as hav-
Ing voted for the acquisition of the
Hawaiian group. II the former be
open to blame. then the latter was
wicked and inexcusable. The Philip
pines have come to US without our seek
ing, as the logical result of success
full war We took Hawaii without the
smallest Justification In morals. The
plea that we had been asked to annex
the Sandwich Islands will not bear
serious examination. We were asked
by handful Of white men who had
seized the government. The great
masses Of the people were averse to
our occupation, as are the Fillpinos
themselves. A philosopher like Mr..
Hoar should not take refuge in forms
and technicalities. He knows, as we'll
as we do, that the Hawaiian Islands
would have voted, twenty to one, in
favor of retaining. their autonomy, and
he sanctioned the seizure-for that Is
whatit amounted to--in the full convic-
ton of this fact. Events made 1t our
duty to assume the responsibility for
law and order and civilization in the
Philippines. Our annexation Of IIa-
wall was mere caprice, without the
shadow of necessity or obligation to de-
fend it. How can Mr.. Hoar champion
the indulgence of caprice and In the
same breath eXecrate the performance
OF 4 duty.
We do not apprehend that Mr.. Hoar
is losing touch with his own constitu-
ents. All Indications point the other
way. But It is safe to say that he Is
Earring and discordant note in the
chorus Of American public sentiment at
this time. One cannot conceive more
pathetic spectacle than that Of ben
evolent and admirable old gentleman
preaching fantastic altruIsm to n fight
Ing nation with its blood up. Even the
spectacle Of feeble King Canute,
screaming and gestculatlng at the
senseless tide. was hardly more sorrow
full to look at.

REFLECTIONS OF A BA CHEIIoR

It's fool son that doesn't know his
own father.
Man was created to destroy himself;
woman to try to save him.
The trouble with modern marriage Is
the same us with the modern novel-a
disappointing ending.
The wickedest woman Is several mil
lion degrees better than the man who
thinks she tempted him to go wrong.

no man should do it.-New York Press.
