How to Find Out if You
Need Swamp-RoOt.

1t used to be considered that only urin-
airy and bladder troubles were to be traced
to the kidneys, but now modern science
proves that nearly all diseases have their
beginning in the disorder of these most
important organs.
The kidneys filter and purify the blood
that is their work
So when your kidneys are weak or out
Of order you can understand how quickly
your entire body is affected and how every
organ seems to fail to do its duty.
If you are sick or feel badly" begin
taking the famous new discovery, DIR. Kill
mer's Swamp-Root, because as soon as
your kidneys are well they viii help all
the other organs to health. A trial will
convince anyone. E.
Weak and unhealthy kidneys are re-
sponsible for more sickness and suffering
than any other disease, and if permitted
to continue fatal results are sure to follow.
Kidney trouble irritates the nerves, makes
you dizzy, restless, sleepless and irritable.
Makes you pass water often during the
day, and obliges you to get up many times
during the night. Causes puffy or dark
circles under the eyes, rheumatism, gravel,
catarrh of the bladder, pain or dull ache
in the back, joints and muscles, makes
your head ache and back ache, causes in
digestion, stomach and liver trouble; you
get a sallow, yellow complexion; makes
you feel as though you had heart trouble;
you may have plenty Of ambition, but no
strength; get weak and waste away.
The cure for these troubles is DIR. Kill
mer's Swamp-Root, the world-famous kid
ney remedy. In taking Swamp-Root you
afford natural help to Nature, for Swamp
Root is the most perfect healer and gentle
aid to the kidneys that is known to medi-
cal science.
If there is any doubt in your mind as
to your condition, take from your urine
on rising about four ounces, place it in q
glass or bottle and let it stand "a hours.
If on examination it is milky or cloudy, if
there is a brick-dust settling, or if small
particles float about in it, your kidneys ara
in need of immediate attention.
Swamp-Root is pleasant to take and is
used in the leading hospitals, recommends
ed by physicians in their private practice,
and is taken by doctors themselves who
have kidney ailments, because they recog-
nize in it the greatest and most successful
remedy for kidney, liver and bladder trou-
bles.

BY MAJ.-GEN. JOHN POPE.

Gen. Meade, the distinguished com
mander of the Army of the Potomac and
hero of Gettysburg, was the descendant of
an old Philadelphia family of Irish Cath
ole origin, one member of which literally
contributed to the patriot cause during the
War for Independence. George G. Meade
was born in Cadiz, Spain, on the 31st of
December, 1915. where his father, Rich
ard WARSAW Meade, and his mother. Mar
garet Butler Meade, were dOmiciled at
the time. His father was engaged in mer-
camille pursuits in that country, and had

tam. During the latter battle Gen. Hook,
er, commanding the First Corps, was
wounded and taken from the field, and al
his request Gen. Meade assumed the com
mand of his corps. During this action he
received a slight confusion, and had two
horses killed under him. For his distin-
guished services in this campaign he was
promoted to the rank of Maj General of
Volunteers to date from Nov. %, 1862.
In command of the Reserves he made
the impetuous attack upon the right of
Lees line at Fredericksburg, Dec. Is,
1862. Wedging in two brigades between
Archer's and Lanes rife-pits, he swept
everything before him, breaking Gregg S
line to pieces and piercing a. p. Hills.
He then encountered Gen. Taliaferros S,

supported by the entire corps of Stonewall
Jackson, which had been ordered to meet
this audaciOuS attack, and after a desper-
ate contest was forced back In his official
report he says: while | deeply regret
the inability of the division, after having
successfully penetrated the enemy's line,
to remain and hold what had been secured,
at the same time | deem their withdrawal
a matter of necessity. With one brigade
commander killed, another wounded, near
ly half their number hors de combat, with
regiments separated from brigades, and
companies from regiments, and all the con-
fusion and disorder incidental to the ad-
vance of an extended line through woods
and other Instructions, aSsaied by q heavy
fire, not only of infantry, but of artillery,
not only in front but on both tanks, the
best troops would be justified in withdraw
ing without loss of honor"
Gen. Lee in his official report speaking
of this attack, says: "Tbe at
tack was so sudden and unexpected that
Orr's rifles, mistaking the enemy for our
own troops retiring, were thrown into con-
fusion"
There is no doubt now that Gen. Meade
came within hairs breadth of changing
the fate of that battle. In his testimony
before the Committee on the Conduct of
the War, he says: If we had been sup
ported, there is every reason to believe
we would have held the ground. The eff
feet of this would have been to have pro-
duced the evacuation of the other line of
the enemy's works in rear of Fredericks-
burg" And that is now the opinion of
most military critics

A yInTTAL CONFESSION.

"a great moral wave is sweeping over
some of the large cities. Is Wheeling TO
be passed by?"
The above quotation isn't from the
Register. 1t is taken from the editor
ial columns OF the Wheeling Intelli-
gencer. a thick-and-thin ring organ,
and it amounts to a confession that
there is something morally wrong in
Wheeling. and argues that the city adj
ministration isn't doing its duty. That
the administration is woefully lax in
carrying out the law is known of all
men and some women and few chill
dren, but it is somewhat startling TO
see a concession to that effect in the
columns of our contemporary.
How can such things be? We have
laws galore. We have a fairly intelli-
gent chief Of police who Is under oath
to discharge his duty and to enforce
the law. We have q larger police
force than at any time in all the history

The vote castsin Ohio county Is en-
tirely too much Philadelphia to suit
the average taste. In Philadelphia
the legal number of voters is about
100000, upon a proper ratio of 20 to 100
population, yet the Republican ring In
that city secured the registration of
more than $4,000 voters, and was only
deferred from casting every one of
them through fear OF the popular move
ment for pure and fair election. The
registration lists in Philadelphia were
padded with the names of tens of thou
sands OF Illegal voters, and every news
paper in that city worth mentioning,
Republican and Democratic, will concur
in the statement. Here the registered
voters were cut down, notably in the
matter Of negroes entitled to the fran
chise, and then the vote actually cast
was swollen beyond all reason, without
any means of obtaining a check upon
the fraud The only way to stop this
sort of thing is to send some of the
men in charge of the inside workings
of political campaigns to the peniten-
tiary.

THE CHINESE MIDDLE.

kilograms from entirely trustworthy
centres of information in Washington
are of such a nature as to decidedly
create the impression that the Chinese
situation is rather worse, from diplo-
matte and dangerous standpoint, than
at any time since the troubles inaug-
urated by the Boxers began, and 1t is
possible if not probable that the United
States will be compelled not only to
return the troops lately withdrawn,
but to add to the number, to the gen.
eral end that American prestige may
be maintained and that our interests
may be properly conserved. Thas Rus
STA and Germany are playing double
game appears to be an assumption
warranted by the known facts, and that
our State Department has taken the
alarm is indicated by various mods and
winks Minister Conger has confirmed
what has been more or less apparent
for some time past-that both Car
and Kaiser have sinister designs, and
it is fair presumption that England
fully knows of the intentions of the
two powers referred to. if. in fact. she
is not party to any arrangement en-
tered into or in course of contempla-
ton.
We are committed to an open door"
policy in China and the maintenance
of the integrity of the Empire. Japan
is understood to be with us upon those
propositions. But, confronted by Rus
STA, England and Germany, and to all
intents and purposes by France, for she
will ultimately side with Russia, we
must either recede from our position or
fight. The outlook at present is very
unsatisfactory one. Diplomacy may
avert the threatened troubles, but if it
does not-then what?

GENERAL HORACE PORTER


Alleged to Have Left France Because
of the Disclosures Concerning the
French Field Gun.
NEW YORK. November 16.-A dis
pstch to the Herald from Paris says:
The following extraordinary state
ment is given prominence in La Presse:
"A parsonage who claims TO be thor
oughly acquainted with what is going
on behind the scenes in the matter OF
the dlyulgence OF the secrets of the
lanest French field gnn to the United
STAKES makes The following statement:
This affair is connected with the
sudden departure for Gibraltar of an
officer OF the United States navy who
was employed in the foreign section OF
the exhibition. after having fulfilled his
functions as naval attache at the en-
bassy. The field gun incident was also
the cause. OF the sudden handing over
OF the affairs of the embassy TO the
first. secretary by Gen. Horace Porser
and his departure for Spain
The former naval attache in quas-
tion, who was born OF British parents,
and devoted above all to the embassy
in the Faubourg Saint Honore. acted
almost openly as spy for several pow
ers.'
"The departure OF General Horace
Porter, which is given out as tsmpor-
airy, is really final and he viii be re-
placed in Paris by John Leishman,
United States minister to Berne. a al
plomatist of the highest character,
whose independence vis-a-vis the Eng
fish embassy can be counted upon for
maintenance OF good relations between
the French republic and the United
States"
