The Eminent Kidney
and Bladder Specialist


There is a disease prevailing in this
country most dangerous because so decep-
tive. Many sudden deaths are caused by
it-heart disease, pneumonia, heart failure
or apoplexy are often the result of kidney
disease. If kidney trouble is allowed to ad-
vance the kidney-poisoned blood will attack
the vital organs, or the kidneys themselves
break down and waste away cell by cell.
Then the richness of the blood-the aburnen
leaks out and the sufferer has Bright's
Disease, the worst forfn of kidney trouble.

SAMPSON-SCHLEY.

The Matchmaking OF Admiral Scuiey
by the Sampson Crowninshleld Clique
at Washington has caused national
indignation. The country is asking
"What is there to investigate 7"
Was not the battle of Santiago the
most crushing defeat that could have
been inflicted?
Was anything left undone that
should have been done to make the
victory complete?
Did not Sampson when he arrived
on the scene as the last ship was going
down, in dispatch congratulate the
country on the glory of the achieve
ment?
Hos he not all along claimed the
victory, and claimed it as one OF the
greatest naval achievements of the
world?
Would he claim it if it were not a
great and glorious victory
Did he repremand Schley then for
anything he had done or failed to do,
or find any FAULT with himp
If these are not the facts and there
was culpability on the part of Schley
in the fighting of that battle why was
it not made the subject of enquiry
then? Why, when many Of the men
who fought there are dead, and why,
when Schley enemies have been rak-
ing as with fine tooth comb to find
something on which to hang their
h opes, for more than two long years,
are they now permitted to daub their
filth upon his escutcheonf
True, Schley has asked the inYestiga-
tion, but he has been bounded tOit by
combination at Washington in SYM
pathy with which we regret to find the
President, who is regarded by all as a
man of great justice and eminent fair
ness. We can understand Sampson s
motives. He is man of low origin
and low instincts. He was hated
about the Naval Academy when in
charge there, with an intensity seldom
eq Jailed, his only actual part in the
battle of Santiago was an effort to
save vessel by pushing her to land,
to increase his prize money. AS for
Crowninshield, we suppose from what
the Washington Post and other good
and we'll informed persons say of him,
that his equal has seldom reached sc
responsible position, and it is to be
hoped none such will Go SO ever again.
This clique was gone into in common
parlance to eat Schley up. They think
they can do it. They have procured
the Secretary OF the Navy to say that
he "disObeyed orders" at one point, a
point evidently of no Importance for
nothing came of it, but then he did
dis obey orders. AS if a man on the
see ne, of Schley's intelligence, could
not know better what to do than set
of mullet heads in Washington, one
thousand miles away, who placed i'm
possible things on him. They are
fixing to eat him up, and the only
safeguard Schley and the people have
possibly, is Admiral Dewey, upon
whose good sense and fairness all rely
to look the matter over, and see wheth-
or Schley is "a coward" "a CRAVEN y
and "a traitor" and if so announce
the fact, and award Sampson an honor
never before accorded to an absent
commander, OF achieving a victory
when he was miles and miles away.
Otherwise to give to Schley that credit
which his actual conduct of the naval
battle at Santiago entities him.

A POINTER TO LABOR.

Last week It was thought the strike
had ended, this week there seems to
be new life in it.
We hope some of the wrongs inf1ict-
ed on the mechanics may be righted
and their sufferings alleviated. but we
suppose that we are hoping against
hope. This strike is premature. it
should have been planned for a presi-
Dental year, and the strikers would
have gotten all they asked. They have
in this regard acted very stupidity.
Their leaders ought to mass their re
sources, nurse their wrongs and plan
their campaign SO as to begin just
after the presidential candidates have
been nominated, say about the first OF
August of every presidential year. By
this means they could have their
finances we'll in hand, they could al
range their grievances and make extra
display of them, the politicians would
aid the strikers in parading their
wrongs, and the party in power to
whom, of course, their sufferings would
be charged, would make concessions;
their leaders would be received, and
their woes needed, and if they were
smart they could make compacts and
terms that would last at least foul
years, in fact they could dictate theiI
own terms. If the labor leaders do not
adopt such plan they will be regard
ed as insincere, if not in fact be charg
ed with having sold their people out
1t is great opportunity. They should
| call off this strike at once, and renew
| it at the right time.
