Treachsrous spring Days.
This long desired agent in the proven
ton and cure OF disease has at length
been found 1t has been stamped with
the Governments approval, and endorsed
by the meddcai Profession.
An eminent medical authority while
speaking of grip and its proper treat
ment has this to say, that while ordinary
whiskey is either useless or dangerous,
or both, in the treatment of grip, Duffy $
Pure Malt Whiskey is of the largest value
in the treatment
This invigorating agent. with its abso-
lutte freedom from fusel oil, and IT'S pos
session of tonic powers which have been
felt and recognized by all who have used
it, is a sovereign remedy for coughs and
colds, influenza and asthma, and often
times wards off an attack of pneumonia
which, without it's intervention, would
have hurried the sufferer into a prema-
ture grave.
The wise housewife, then, will always
keep bottle of Duffy's Pure Malt Whis-
key in the closet among her household
remedies

MILES AND HIS ENEMIES.

Gen. Miles is to be commended for
his self-control in the face of great
provocation and injustice as exhibited
in his firm declination to say aught
concerning the outrageous whitewash
of the War Department and the beef
trust by the Wade court of inquiry.
That body grossly outraged all rules OF
justice and military honor and ignOr-
ed the evidence before it by falsely
censuring the commanding general for
doing his duty in looking after the
health of the troops entrusted to his
command.
Miles is a bluff old soldier and an
honest man. 1t must, therefore, be
doubly hard for him to keep utter
silence in the face of this rank injus-
tice done him at the behest of an I'M
scrupulous and ambitious administra-
ton of time-serving politicians. To
thus bear grossly false and malicious
accusations in silence is the hardest
test of army discipline that can be
made, but Gen. Miles has proven the
stern and soldierly stuff he is made of
by refusing not only to open his own
lips but to allow his near friends to
open theirs in his defense.
But Miles, silent, is infinitely more
eloquent than the administration, it's
subservient court, organs and lick
spittle politicians doing all the talk
ing.
The honest, common sense people of
this country believe in Gen. Miles and
have admired his manhood and BRAY
cry in standing by his soldiers in the
face of a corrupt administration at
Washington. They admire him the
more for his soldierly obedience to dis
cipline and his splendid dignity in de-
Ginning to justify himself or to reply
to his false accusers, who take advant-
age of the fact that army regulations
prevent either Miles or his army asso-
ciates from offering a defense to these
malicious attacks. a'
1t is known, despite the silence of
officers, that feeling in army circles is
at the boiling point over this outrage
and under the official gag the mutter-
ings of army officers are loud and
deep.
Suffice it to say that although the
administration of William Mckinley
has militarism as the basis of it's pet
policy, and would create a great stand
ing imperial army if it could yet no
administration in our history has done
more to disorganize and DESTROY mill
tary discipline and undermine the
esprit de corps of the army-the BRAY
est and best army in the world

The sublimity of the gall of the court
OF inquiry in declaring that Gen. Miles
did not present sufficient evidence to
prove his charges, is shown in the fact
that the court would listen to only 1O4
OF the 410 witnesses whom Miles had
summoned. 1t complains of the lack of
testimony to support his charges in the
face of its refusal to examine more than
one-fourth of his witnesses, How
could this ridiculous court expect the
public to place confidence in its find
ing?
