bishop whippie as q Densist.

BtehOp Wnfpphc 0h " DShtiets
On one of the first OF his journeys to
the west one OF the Indians came to
Bishop Whipple and said, 'Wi-bid-
akosi' (My tooth is sick), and asked
for relief. Bishop Whipple was unable
to give 1t and was greatly distressed.
Accordingly. upon his flrst visit to Chi
cago he went to a friend who was q
dentist and asked to be shown how to
extract teeth. He was told to separate
the ligaments around the tooth, to take
a firm grip and then to pull.
Equipped with an old pair OF den-
lists forceps, he went back to his work.
and when. after the service at White
fish lake, an Indian came to him with
his hand to his face and asked for re-
lief the good bishop produced his
forceps and started upon his career as
an unregistered dentist.
The ''sick tooth" was large upper
molar, but the bishop never blanched.
Neither did the Indian. With stolid In
difference to the pain the red man sub
mitted to the operation, which. Bishop
Whlpple confessed, must have been n
bungling one at best, and the tooth
was finally twisted out, and the bishop
had the satisfaction OF hearing the old
chief afterward telling his people.

LET JUSTICE BE DONE.

1t is not very remarkable that, as
reported, a majority o. the Repubi-
can senators should be averse to an
Investigation of the Schley case, and
tin Management of the Navy Depart
mcnt during the Spanish war. The
Democratic sentiment appears to be
favorable to 1t and this division OF
opinion on an approach to pon,ical
lines has but one apparent basis. 1t
may be due to feeling that the full
official vindication OF Schley would be
virtual conviction of the Navy De-
partment. Naturally Republican
members of Congress would want TO
avoid that result.
1t must be admitted that the vindl-
cation of Schley does involve a con-
demnation of the Navy Department,
but the Navy Department deserves
condemnation. 1t has apparently set

HANNA'S BUNKO GAME.

Senator Hanna of Ohio whose
shadow happily is growing less on the
horizon of our national affairs, made
a curious argument in New York
few days ago in justification OF his
subsidy scheme.
I'VE are building magnificent
navy" said Mr.. Hanna. and shall
continue until we are second to no
nation. We should also build some
thing for it to defend" That is to say,
we should enlarge our merchant ma
the Navy something to do in defend
ing it
1t has been assumed heretofore that
the United States is increasing the
number of its warshlps in order TO
keep European nations from seizing
territory in South America. In his
message to Congress President Roose-
welt asserted that the main object in
creating a formidable Navy is to de-
fend the Monroe doctrine. Mr.. Hanna
evidently regards that as minor con
s.Ieration. From his point of view it
would appear that the .-avy is largely
a business enterprise, and also. in
some respects. decoy To be used as a
pretext for building up the American
marine through system of subsidies
and bounties.
Having acquired a formidable col
lection OF warships we cannot, of
course allow them to be idle. They
must have some work to do that will
justify the expenditure OF hundreds
of millions OF dollars in making ths
United States great sea power. So
we must. if Mr.. Hanna's advice is to
be adopted, spend 5000, 900, 600 in sub
sides upon our merchant marine so
that the Navy will have something to
defend"
This is not exactly logic. On the
contrary it sounds like an extract from
"Alice In Wonderland" But there is
method in Mr. Hanna's grotesque
reasonings. He knows the American
people will not tolerate drones and
idlers, and doubtless he imagines that
the country will cheerfuly subsidizc
its merchant marine in order to keep
naval officers and seamen from spend
ing their time in doing nothing ex-
copt cruising about the world and dis
playing the American flag.
If we must build merchant marine
and subsidi2e it in order to provide
employment for our navy, there is no
reason why we should not do other
things to promote activity on the part
of the commanders of our warships
and our gallant sailormen. 1t : gen
orally understood that a considerable,
portion of the Navy will be needed To
defend the Nicaragua Canal. If one
canal is not enough TO give employ
ment to our warships, we might build
two~-that would give the Navy some
thingto defend. as Mr.. Hanna ex-
presses it, and the additional water
way would not cost more than the ship
subsidy.
II it is absolutely necessary that the
Navy shall be kept busy and thus
justify Its existence we might acquire
more islands We already own the
Philippines, Guam. Hawaii. Porto Rico
and are now negotiating for the Dan
ish West Indies. II. as the Republican
boss suggests, 1t is our duty to give

Brotherliseas In Brockton.

rett Wendell about DR.. William Ever
EFT: The latter was going out 10
Brockton one night to deliver an ad-
dress and ran across Mr.. Wendell In
the Old Park square station. Come
along. Wendell" he said. II am going
out to Brockton 30 speak, and want

along.
When Everett arose to speak. the
ball, which was large one. was only
passably well filed. and even the com.
paratively small number present began
TO grow smaller as one by one people
slipped away. Mr.. Wendell began TO
think that Brockton must be a singu-
iarly cold henrted place when sudden.
ly he noticed people coming In by twos
and threes and silently taking seats
wherever they could find them. Soon
the hall was full. with standing room
only. but still they came till the aisles
and walls were lined with interested

BAD BLOOD,
BAD COMPLEXION.

The skin Is the seat Of an almost end
less variety Of diseases. They are known
by various names, but are ali due to the
same cause, acid and other poisons in
the blood that irritate and interfere with
the proper action of the skin.
To have a smooth, soft skin, free from
all eruptions, the blood must be kept pure
and healthy. The many preparations of
arsenic and potash and the large number
of face powders and lotions generally
used in this class of diseases cover up
for short time, but cannot remove per-
manently the ugly blotchcs and the red,
disfguring pimples.

In Defense Of officer Proctor.

csion of the civil service hoard giving
Officer Proctor fifteen days lay on The
citizens Of the Fifth, representing the best
element OF business people and taxpayers,
attended tho meeting of the board Of com
mlSsoners In officer proctor's defense and
believe that the board gave him a fair
hearing according TO the evidence intro.
duCed While the evidence Of the citizens
OF the Fifth was all Ia Officer Proctor's
favor, we noticed distinctly thar the acgro
contingent was directly opposite in their
testimony.
It was plainly shown by witnesses who
were Of unQueStionahle character and rep
were prciuAiced against Onlcer Proctor.
These charges wore preferred and enter
tanned by the chief OF police and Onlcer
Proctor suspended before ans Investigation
had been made and as VIC are aware Of
the fact that chief blackburn. evidently
knew the feeling Of these negroes towards
Oncer Proctor for some timc prior to
this affair, We consider that he was treated
unfairly In heiug suspended before an in.
ycstlgation was made.
IN conclusion we wish To state that OaT
