IS 1T RIGHT
For an Editor to Recommend Patent
Medicines?

From Sylvan Valley News, Brevard
n. C.I
1t may be a question whether the
editor of a newspaper has the right to
publicly recommend any of the var
ious proprietary medicines which food
the market, yet as preventive Of
suffering, we feel it a duty to say a
good word for Chamberlain's Collie,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy We
have known and used this medicine in
our family for 20 years and have al
ways found ii reliable. In many cases
a dose of this remedy would save hours
of suffering while Il physician is await
ed We do not believe in depending
implicitly on any medicine for a cure,
but we do believe that if bottle Of
Chamberlain's Darrhoea Remedy
were kept on hand and administered
at the inception of an attack much suf-
fering might be avoided and in very
many cases the presence of physician
would not be required. AT least this
has been our experience during the
past 20 years. For sale by all drug

Two East Akron chums have been
paying serious attention to two Of the
sixth's fair daughters. The four are
much In each others company, and
for several weeks prior 10 the glorious
Fourth, they disguised various ways
for the proper observance of the day.
Finally 1t was settled. They would
go to Canton and they would go in
style. No crowded excursion train
on hot sweltering day would do for
this quartettc. They would go in their
own conveyance and avoid tedious de,
lays. Accordingly the young swains
hired Il spanking team of prancing
steeds from an Akron livcryman. They
took his finest turnout--a new trap
and in their furry of excitement the
young men told the owner of the
horses, that they were going to Green
town. They got an early start and
when the young people headed towards
our Stark county neighbors all Of the
girls in East Akron looked on with
envy. 1t happened that the liveryman
has been in the business longer than
day and he soon suspected that his
team had harder drive booked than
had been represented to him. Old Sol
began to show himself in earnest and
the team owner grew uneasy. He dis
patched a man to Canton to be on the
lookout for the trap. 1t soon appeared
upon the streets of the Dueber City
and then the Fourth was not so glor-
ious. 1t is said that an arrest follow

to Akron late that highland they

G. Sanford that its gastronomical

of late, everything that the Colonel
eats has been going to his stomach,
and he was forthwith inspired to act
in accordance with the dictates of his
appetite. Accordingly he purchased
enough fishing tackle to catch six
whales and walrus, and hied him
away to the peaceful waters Of Silver
lake. Hiring boat, he was soon sail
ing about over the bosom of the
mighty deep, whatever that means

LEADS IN COAL PRODUCTION.
Another Ton Record Made by the
United states.

81 LOulS -DeIlOCIat.
Until the end of 1898 Great Britain was
the greatest coal producer of all the coun-
tries. In 1899 the United States passed
Great Britain. In round figures the coal
output of this country in 1899 was 245,-
0OO,O 900 tons, This was $4,000, 900 tons of
a gain over 1898. Here is an Industrial
triumph for which the country is to be
congratulated. 1t means much in the
race Cor business supremacy.
Nearly twenty years ago the United States
passed Great Britain in the extent of its
manufactures in the aggregate. Four or
five years ago the United States began to
forge ahead OF that country in the amount
o. iron produced. Now England is left be-
hind in coal output. Next to the United
States as a coal producer. Of course, stands
England, while Germany and France follow,
in this order. The United States coal output
in 1899 was much more than three times as
great az it was in 1870. All the other pro-
ducing countries have increased their out
put since 1870 also, Germany faster than
any e the others, but Gormany's gain has
not been nearly 80 great proportionally as
that of the United States.
The principal reason for the great growth
in coal production last year was the i'm
mense increase in the iron output. In round
HsuFts the production OF pig IRON IN 1899
was $500 600 tons, an increase of 1000, 900
tons over 1898. A further Increase in both
iron and coal IS expected in 1900. Prac-
tically speaking. the deposits Of iron ore and
coal in the United States are limitlesa. Prob
ably this country will never have a success
full rival in the production or either. The
possibilities for expansion in these two
products in this country are immeasurable.
Coal and iron lie at the basis OF a coun-
try's industrial strength and this deter
mines its physical power. The United States
is undoubtedly destined to hold its lead in
both products. 1t will maintain it's SUI
premacy as q manufacturing country, In all
the elements Of material potency the United
States will probably lead the world forever.

PHILIPPINE PROBLEMS.
Present Aspect of the War md the
Military Needs of Occupation.

When the transport now on the way to
the Philippines arrives at its destination
General Otis will have 3 1000 troops under
his command. 1t has been repeatedly an
nounced that the Instruction has about
reached its vanishing point as an organized
movement, and that the uprising is degcner-
ating into guerrilla warfare merely. The
report Of the capture of Aguinaldo and the
complete dispersion and disarming OF his
followers would be extremely gratifying
news for the country. The prospect of a
long campaign in Luzon for the suppression
of guerIi la bands is not inviting. Yet it is
the kind OF warfare to which Aguinald1
would naturally resort before complete sub
mission, The announcement that the
American troops in LuZon will now be en-
gagged in the pursuit and extermination OF
guerrillas only may or may not presage
speedy peace. The pTecise situation in the
other islands of the group is not clear, and
the fact that the Go 900 American soldiers

French and Turkish armies that invaded the

problem involving the quick transit of so
large a force to such a distant destination
is hardly realizable by those not Immediately
engaged in the work. England has ac-
complished a great feat in the mobilization
of her armies in South Africa, and In Tins
past has gent large bodies of troops by water
TO India and elsewhere. 1t Is a task which
scans inseparable from colonial expansion,
even when carried forward by a nation which
is confcsscdly the most successful in ruling
foreign peoples. our responsibility in the
Philippines will remain exceedingly great
and expensive, even If the optimistic pre-
dictions OF high officials, presumably fully
eonvcrqant with Philippine affairs, that tho
existing irsurrection is insignificant ana
"conhncd.to Luzon,' - should be verified. The
military needs of the American occupation,
as estimated by American officers, for the
installation of American government in the
group. require the presence Of G5 900 trainei
troops. And, when we have solved the
military problem in the group, we must
take up the scarcely less dlficult duty OF
civil government, If II be decided that the
group shall be permanently ours. To rul.
the group we may require the genius and
mastery Of a Give. 1t Is not good policy
to 90 out to meet trouble half way; but the
American people should intelllgently an

ment. Congress should discuss them as fully,
broadly and fearlessly as It will in the com
ing weeks discuss every phase of the cur,

THE coNrRAn1ND orESrlnN

\ London dispatch states that the
American flour seized off Dclagoa bay
has been released and that the Brit
tsh government has decided that food
stuffs are not to be considered contra
band of war unless intended far the
enemy. In the absence of n definite
statement of the British position it
may be assumed that 1t will not con-
slider foodstuffs %contraband unless
there is unmistakablc evidence that they
are intended for the enemy, such as
would be presented by its consignment
to the camp or fleet of the enemy, for
otherwise the way would be left open
for further seizures upon the presump-
ton that a cargo of f%oodsturTs was ul-
timately destined for the enemy.
What our government should and prob
ably will insist upon is an absolutely
definite understanding as to the nature
of the evidence necessary to make pro-
visions contraband of war, recurring
that it shall not be left TO the judy
ment of British naval officers or con
sular officials to determine the matter.
The question Is one of great impor.
lance and there will never be n better
opportunity than is now afforded to
have a perfectly clear understanding i'm
regard to it.
1t Is easy to understand hat the
British government is averse to estab-
fishing a precedent making foodstuffs
contraband. AS Lord Rosebery has
pointed out, it would be a very grave
mistake for Great Britain TO take such
a position. But it has been seen that
in an emergency she does not hesitate
to act upon the principle that foodstutfs
are contraband and therefore the ne
cessity of requiring that government
to unequivocally define its position and
come to a clear understanding. There
will never be a better time to have
his done.
