Macrum Told the Truth.

Premier Salisbury, of the British
cabinet, having confirmed the truth
of former American Consul Macrum's
charges by apologizing to Secretary
of State Hay for the opening of Ma
crum's official mail by the British cen
sor at Durham, there is but little in
terest now attaching to the congress
sional investigation of the Macrum
Incident.
This investigation, however, may
with reason take. up the point as to
whether the Salisbury apology was
sufficient in form and terms. The
diplomatic offense contained in the
opening of one governments official
nail by another government is quite
serious. Lord Salisbury should have
been required to tender in writing
full and formal apology for that Of
tense. 1t is doubtful if Secretary of
American dignity, held the British
premier closely to this requirement.
BY rights. also. and as a matter of
diplomatic courtesy, Secretary of
State Hay and British Ambassador
Pauncefote should apologize to for
mer Consul Macrum. When that
faithful American first preferred the
charge that the British censor tam
pered with mail from the American
state department addressed to him at
Pretoria. Secretary Hay advanced in
defense of his opinion that Macrum
was liar. He also secured an ex-
preston to the same effect from Lord
Pauncefote. 1t is plain that both
were wrong. Mr.. Macrum is not a
liar. An apology is therefore due for
having said that he lied.
This, however, need not be insisted
upon, as it is bit out of the ordinary
routine of diplomatic red tape. But
it must be seen to that the British
government has made the proper
amendG for intercepting. opening and
reading the American governments
mail. Secretary of State Hay is too
easy-going about these matters. He
is likely to reason that any old thing
is good enough apology where Brit
ish domination of American cOnsulates
is concerned.

Question Answered.

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine in the
civilized world. Your mothers and
grandmothers never thought of using
anything else for indigestion or bill
iousness. Doctors were scarce, and
they seldom heard of appendicitis,
nervous prostration or heart failure,
etc. They used August Flow
er to clean out the system and stop
fermentation of undigested food, reg
ulate the action of the liver, stimulate
the nervous and organic action of the
system, and that is all they took when
feeling dull and bad with headaches
and other aches. You only need a
few doses of Green's August Flower,
in liquid form. to make you satisfied
there is nothing serious the matter
with you. Sample bottles free at T. H.

AS an enduring example of one of
the virtues of the recently adopted
Porto Rican tariff measure, it has
been discovered that every valuable
franchise and concession in the island
has already been staked out and is in
practical control of New York and
ohio capitalists who happened TO be
on the inside in Washington in time
to take advantage of the situation.
Indeed, there is a story current in
Washington that every franchise and
concession that is worth applying for
is ready for delivery just as soon as
the civil government has been estab-
lished. Franchises worth many mil
lions of dollars are to he included in
the delivery.

of absolute equality with all other
states" says Senator James X. Jones
in Che National Watchm an. mo
thought has ever entered the mind of
any man in the acquisition of Louisi-
ana, or the territory we acquired from
Mexico. that an alien people were to
be held in a condition of vassalage
perpetually and controlled by the ar
bitrary will of the American congress
as Great Britain governs her colonies.
This sort of growth or territorial ex-
pansion was strictly in accord with
every principle of government for
which We contend now. The Porto
Rican policy. however, is an absolute
departure, and totally different in all
respects from anything that has been
done heretofore.

The national administration is again
seen taking 4 great deal of satisfaction
out of the exposure of further treach-
cry and duPlicity on the part Of Ag-
uinaldo and his followers in the Philip
pines. Does the administrat real y
suppose that any revelation as 10 the
nature or conduct of the natives will
Justify it's course in this matter? 1t
IS not one of the teachings of Ameri-
can philosophy that two wrongs make
one right. Regardless of what may
be the nature Of the FilipinOS. the
simple truth remains that the United
States is not justified in having I'M
dertaken to exercise sovereignty and
ownership over them against their
will. And now that we have taken
the job on our hands the revelation of
the past purposes of the native lead
ers does not offer any excuse of the
delay in putting an end TO the war.
The government, as at present admin
istered at Washington. has made n
bungling affair of the Philippine ques-
ton from start,to finish. and it cannot
excuse itself by pointing out what a
bad set of fellows we are dealing with.

diseases begin in disorders of the
stomach, liver, kidneys, bowels, blood
and nerves. Electric Bitters tones up
the stomach, regulates the liver. kid

Gladstone aud McKInIey.

There is vast difference between a
man who changes his mind himself
and one who has his mind changed for
him by some outside force or superior
intelligence. DIR. Hyde, president of
Bowdoin college. in a recent lecture,
made this difference clear by COM
pairing Gladstone and Mckinley in q
manner that would have done credit
to Plutarch. Said the doctor: GLAD
stone changed his mind; Mckinley
has allowed his mind to be changed
for him. No man who so acts can
command the respect and confidence
of the American people"

SOMETHING TO APPRECIATE
Is the Work of the British Doctors at
No. ! OO2 Second Avenue. These Emil
nent Gentlemen are Giving Their
Services Entirely Free to All
Invalids Who Call Upon Them


Before May 80.
a staff of eminent physicians and
surgeons from the British Medical in
stitute have, at the urgent solicitation
of a large number of patients under
their treatment in this vicinity, estab-
lished a permanent branch of the in
stitute in this city at No. 1902 Second
avenue.
These eminent gentlemen have de-
cided to give their services entirely
free for three months (medicine ex-
cepted) to all invalids who may call
upon them for treatment between now
and May 80. These services consist
not only of consultation, examination
and advice, but also of all minor sur
gical operations.
The object in pursuing this course
is to become rapidly and personally
acquainted with the sick and the af-
tlicted, and, under no condition what
ever will any charges be made for any
services rendered for three months to
all who call before May 80.
The doctors treat all forms of dis
ease and deformities, and guarantee a
cure in every case they undertake. At
the first interview a thorough exami-
nation is made. and, if incurable, you
are frankly and kindly told so; also
advised against spending your money
for useless treatment.
Male and female weakness, catarrh
and catarrhal deafness, also rupture,
goitre, cancer, varicocele, and all dis
eases of the rectum, are positively
cured by their new treatment.
DR.. E. Valentine Heaton, the chief
consulting surgeon of the institute,
is in personal charge.
Office hours from 2 p. m. till 8 p.
m. Davenport office hours, 9 a. m.
till p. m. Not open Sundays.
