whereby men could "send to distant
cities the power of Niagare." There ia
scarcely great waterfall in the civil
lied world that is not now distributing
power because Of Tesla. Judge Nc
Pherson, of Philadelphia, has recently
announced the same conclusion, and
there is no reason to doubt that the
Supreme Court of the United States
will confirm it, a. has every court in
any country in which the question has
teen raised.
This being the case, it seems fair to
say that the three greatest inventors

WHATS IN A NAME2
(Bsnson's Plaster Is Pains MaStsr.)

In the days of wild cat money in the
West, the Ames shovels were used as cur
rency. They were as stable as gold; their
price did not vary cent in twenty years
The very name of Oliver Ames g. Son, was
q synonym for honesty. 1t was current all
over the world.
On the same principle Benson's Porous
Plaster is the universal standard external
remedy. To say it is "good" plaster does
not describe it; tt is the best possible plaster.
For every disease in which an external rem
edy is available, Benson's Plaster is used
almost as a matter Of course.
Bensons Plaster quickly relieves and
cures where other modes Of treatment are
either exasperatingly slow or have no good
effect whatever. Coughs, colds. lumbago,
kidney trouble, rheumatism, lame back,
etc., are at once benefited and soon cured.
Oapsicum, Strengthening and Belladonna
plasters have none Of the curative virtues
Of Benson's. More than 5000 physicians
and druggists have commended Benson's
Plaster as a remedy in which the public
may have implicit confidence; while, in a
comparative test with other plasters Ben
sons has received .ffty. fve highest atoards.
Beware of substitutes and cheap limitations.

The Boston Herald desce nds from
its Mugwump stills long enough to
emit the subjoined CLEAN of sense and
reason:
1t strikes us that the position of Pres
ident Mckinley, to the effect that, il
there is to be recognition of Cuba as
an independent government, Congress
should pass upon it, is correct one.
Those who desire that such a recogni-
ton should be early made should sus-
tain the President here. To comply
with the requirements in the case, the
Cuban government should be more
than independent; it should be "sta-
ble," and this last is matter for Con-
gress to decide. We are inclined to
think that, until Congress passes upon
it, the President will be disposed TO
leave the conditions in Cuba as they
are now, and that he will be justified
so doing. AS regards the point of our
national pledge made to Cuba, it is an
additional reason why Congress should
be called to act. This was q pledge
made by Congress, and not by the
President, and Congress is therefore
the appropriate authority to pass upon
its fulflment.

Which of the Two?

The United States has established a
claim in Cuba, through war and by
treaty, 30 strong that it is not disputed
by any great power of the world. AS
regards this claim there are two policies
possible-one like that of 1919, when,
against the protest of statesmen like
Henry Clay. Texas was cut loose and
set adrift; the other like that which
extended the protection of the govern
ment over the great northwestern ter
ritory, over all the Louisiana purchase,
over Washington and Oregon. Now
is the time to decide which it shall
be.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

The Three Inventors,

A copy of an opinion delivered on
Feb. 6 by Judge Thompson of the Unit
ed States Circuit Court for the Southern
District of Ohio, in the suit of the
Westinghouse Electric Company
against the Dayton Motor Company,
moves us to say few words touching
the great inventors Of the day, and par
t.cularly of citizen OF this town, Mr..
Nikola Tesla, concerning whom we
have noticed recently certain fippant
remarks of disparagement.
The Westinghouse Company, as own
ers of the patents for the electric trans
mission of power, which are Tesla pa
tents, sued the Dayton Motor Company
for infringement, and the decision was
in the plaintiffs favor, without qualifi-
cation. "It remained for Tesla" said
Judge Thompson, "to solve the prob
lem," that of sending power by wire.
Last August Judge Townsend of the
United States District Court in Con-
necticut, in deciding this same Issue in
the same manner, acclaimed Tesla as
the discoverer OF the priceless method

In CHINA,

LONDON, Feb. 20.-Sir William Hsr-
court questioned the government in the
House of Commons last evening re-
garding its military policy in China. He
recalled that Viscount Cranborne, un-
der secretary of the foreign office, had
stated in the House that an expedition
to the interior OF China would be disas-
trous and Objectionable, and Sir Will
liam said it was therefore of the deepest
concern to know whether the statement
was true that Count Won Waldersee,
the commander OF the allied forces in
China, had ordered an expedition to go
into the interior in the spring, and how
far Great Britain was committed to
such policy.
Viscount Cranborne replied that, so
far as the government was aware, no
foreign government wanted to send an
expedition into the interior. Ii such
an expedition was contemplated, the
British commanders would certainly
require permission from home before
asserting to it. In conclusion, Viscount
Cranborne said the government had no
definite information in the matter.
The Daily NelCs, commenting on the
proceedings in the House Of Commons
last evening, accuses the government
of Withholding information concerning
the expedition against the Chinese pro-
posed by Count Won Waldersee, and
virtually accuses Viscount Cranborne
of lying. 1t declares that "Great Brit
ain is being dragged after Germany in
a policy of brutal vengeance, which is
equally ridiculous and hateful, while
she holds aloof from the natural aud
humane lead of the United States"
The paper contends that the only satil-
factory feature of the whole story is
that General Chaffee, the American
commander, will not join the expedi-
ton, and says that this policy is quite
consistent with the firm, temperate at
titude of the United States.
The Times regards the intelligence of
Count Won Waldersee's intention as
some what startling and as involving a
rather material change'in he situation.
II remarks with surprise that Vlscount
Cranborne was apparently unconcerned
over the news. 1t thinks that the &C.
logne Gdzette's belief that the expedi-
ton is intended 10 intimidate the
Chinese is plAueible and probably cor
rect. It adds that it will be gratifying
to have this view confirmed by the gov
eminent when it has had time to IL
quire into the tacrs.
LONDON, Feb. 20,-A Paris despatch
to the Exchange Telegraph says that
France, probably under the pressure of
Russia, has refused to join the expedi-
ton into the interior OF China planned
by Count Won Waldersee.
LONDON, Feb. 2l.-At meeting
held Wednesday at Pekin the foreign

IN SOUTH AFRICA.

LONDON, Feb. 21.-Lord Kitchener's
second narrow escape from capture
calls out newspaper warnings as to the
danger of his rapid fitting by train
from place to place. 1t is considered
better for him to remain in Pretoria
than to risk upsetting his carefully
elaborated plan OF campaign.
Az Lord Kitchener is now back in
Pretoria, the inference is that Gen.
DeWet has again escaped from the
supposed Gordon. There is no further
news of Gen. French's pursuit of Com
msndant Gen. Botha in the eastern
Transvas. Statements emanate from
both Pretoria and Brussels that Mr..
Kruger contems lates returning to
South Africa. 1t is said that he has
finished writing memorial on the war
which will be sent to the Eul opean
govs rnments and to Presid, Mt Nc
Kinley.
1t has long been rumored that Lord
Wolseley intended to reveal the diff
culties with which he had to contend as
commander-ir-chi in getting the gov
eminent and the treasury to sanction
necessary military measures. Accord
ing to the Daily Mail, be will address
the House OF Lords next week on the
subject, the Duke of Bedford putting
the leading question.

bring about as proposal to so amend
the Constitution of Vermont as to make
its government republican in fact as
well as name.
Legislation for the reduction of the
war revenues seems to be hopelessly
deadlocked. The House and Senate
committees are in head-end collision
on this subject, and,as each is stubborn
ly clinglng to the track nothing may be
done by this Congress. In many ma
terial respects the House is believed to
be the nearer right.
The opposition to the ship subsidy
bill is survival, in another shape, of
the old opposition to the protective
principle. Democrats are as stolidly
arrayed against the Frye bill as they
have been in the past against the pro-
tective tariff measures which have sue
cessively come before Congress, from
the Morrill, to the Dingley measure,
and with the same absence of sense or
reason, the same disregard of the well
fare of the country, the same lack of
patriotic purpose to render their coun-
try commercially and industrially as
well as politically free and independent.
The time must soon come when on this
measure, as on the repeal of the silver
purchase act in Cleveland's second ad-
minstration, the majority in the Senate
must lay siege to the obstructive minor
ity and force it to surrender.

Didn't Find Him.

In the old days when the lower end
of Pearl and Railroad streets was lum-
Ter yard, boys amused themselves there
by playing hide and seek among the
boards. Rev. DIR. George H. Ide of
Milwaukee, who delivered such a splen-
did address here the last Memorial Day,
and Arthur Ropes, prominent Yer
mont editor who does not always WELD
the pen in a way to produce peace and
quiet, we're boys here then. Ide was
happy, full of fun and delighted in play
ing tricks on his playmates. Ropes
was trifle belligerent, not quite as
happy nature as Ide, though he liked
fun, especially when the laughing end
of a joke came his way. One after
noon the boys were playing in the lum-
Der piles. Ide would hide, and when
Ropes couldn't find him, usually every
time, would come forth from his hole
and poke little fun at his playmate
for not being able to find him. This
exasperated Ropes, whose nature didn't
enjoy defeat of that kind. He told Ide
to 90, get into a hole, and he would
lind him if it took till shutdown. Ide
got into the hole. Ropes gave him
time enough to get well hid, then went
into the house, sat down in an easy
chair and passed the afternoon reading
Olives of Great Editors" or some 9TH
er interesting book. Ide remained in
his hole till shutdown, thinking with
much pleasure how Ropes was tearing
from one place to another in his use
less attempt to find him. But about
shutdown he smelled mouse, the grin
disappeared from his face and he left
| his hole with serious look When he
discovered Ropes calmly reading that
| book he realized fully that it wasn't his
turn 10 laugh.-St. Johnsbury Repubi

The foregoing is correct in it's main
incidents, but the wicked editor seems
to have slightly tinctured the narration
with gall. Certainly the genial parson
if he'told the tale, could not have sup.
piled the tincture. The "hOle" in
which the future preacher obscured
himself was under row OF thrifty

The Money Center.

The fact which should not be lost
sight of, either in Washington or in the
business offices OF the big manufactur-
ing companies of the country, is that
the Europeans in end to fight for their
markets, using all the legitimate
weapons that statesmen aud econC-
mists have invented. There is fuller
realization across the ocean than here
of the significance Of the events of the
past three or four years. The trade
balance in favor of the United States
for the last fiscal year was 5000, 900 900,
and those men in Europe Who have to
pay that balance know what the con-
tinuance of such an obligation means.
This has been debtor nation for
many years. We have had to go to
London, or Paris, or Berlin when we
wanted to raise the money for big un-
dertakings. But we go abroad no
more. Since President Mckinley en-
tered office Europe has become our
debtor for approximately $2,000,000,-
600. And at the same time we have
waged war, the expenses OF which
we have met from our own resources,
besides lending money to Great Brit
ain to help her pay her South African
war bills. And we have loaned money
to Russia, as well as to two or three
other continental powers and half a
dozen continental cities. This country
has become the financial center of the
world.-Brooklyn Eagle.
