The ancients believed that rheumatism
was the work of demon within a
man. Any one who has had an attack
of sciatic or inhammatory rheumatism
will agree that the infection is demonac
enough to warrant the belief. 1t has
never been claimed that Chamberlain S
Pain Balm would cast out demons, but
it will cure rheum tism, and hundreds
bear testimony to the truth of this state

and this quick relief which it affords is
alone worth many times it's cost. For

The Democratic politicians have been
trying for some time to involve the
President in some sort Of trouble in
South African affairs. All Of the pro-
Boer meetings, so far held. have been
instIgated FOR this purpose, and the OBJ
ject was never more plainly exempli-
ned than a. the meeting held in New
York last week. The Grand Rapids
Herald puts the matter very clearly
when 1t says: These agltators know
that there is 4 good deal Of spontane-
Gus sympathy for the Beers on senti-
mental grounds. and they endeayor 70
utilize this for political purposes. The
fact that the President has maintained
an attitude OF neutrality. as the officials

advantageous to these agitators. But
now that the President, in a friendly
way. has transmitted the message Of
the South African republic and the

Democrats have been dIsarmed. That

The most convincing refutaticn Of the
ideas advanced by the so-called anti
imperiaiIsts comes from one who origl-
nally held such views, but whose visit
to the philippine islands opened his
eyes to the real situation. Some months
ago there, probably. was no more bitter
opponent o: President McKinleys poll
cy with regard to the Pacific archipela-
go than Bishop h. c. Potter, Of New
York. The bishop returned last week
after a visit to Honolulu and Manila,
and from personal observation ex-
presses himself as being convinced that
the Filipino is incapable of creating as
good a government as the United States
can give him. The capacity Of the Fill
Pine for Aelf-government, he declares
has been overestimated.
whatever we might have done" he
said, "a year or more back, there is but
one thing for US to do now. and that Is
TO hold on to the.islands and assume the
responsibility for their future. The mill
isary administration OF the islands Is
beyond praise. General Otis has rot
received I.alf the recognition to which
he is entitled. His position has been
one of extreme delicacy. New questions
are arising daily and he has handled
them all Eith discretion"
Continuing his interesting talk ABOUT
his trip Bishop Potter says: Several
friends Of -Agulnaldo called upon me In
Hong Kong. and they told me that they
were satisfied that there could be no
success for his undertaking. The better
class Of FilIpInos are satisfied that
American occupation means Increased
prosperity and are not raising any OBJ
jec,lons"
Bishop Potter told of visit he made
to factory In Manila, where about $50
Filipino boys and girls were spinning
cotton cloth. The oversser told him they
had learned to work the looms in about
six weeks, whereas Irish and Scotch
children took rs many months before
they were OF any service. The natives
seemed to take kindly to the conine-
ment Of faetory life, but they objected
to the orders against smoking in the
factories
Much OF the good order existing ami
the many manifestations of good will to
the Americans, Bishop Potter attributed
to the nIgh moral character OF the
American s9ldlery.
When asked II his antagonlsm to the
retention OF Honolulu and the Philip
pines had been changed by his personal
observations, he said:
THAT has now become purely aca-
demlc matter. confess to saying that
have put 1t on the shelf. 1t is perfect
Iy idle now to linger on that discussion.
We must accept the Inevitable. The
question now is, What are you going to
do now that you have got It? We have
got the responsibility of governing the
Philippines for better or worse. II 1t is
for the worse all the greater is our re-
sponSlbilIty."
