A CASE OF IT.
Many More Like 1t In Rock Island.


The following case is but one OF
many similar occurring daily in Rock
Island. 1t is an easy matter to verify
it's correctness. Surely you cannot
ask for better proof than such con-
elusive evidence.
Patrick Rooney, bricklayer, says:
Taken with a soreness across my loins
and other evidence of kidney complaint
1 went TO a physician, who treated
me at intervals for three years. Re
ceiving little if any benefit resorted
to advertised sure-cures, but the
trouble resisted all my efforts, the in
tense pain in the small of my back
and limited control over the kidney
secretions being always in evidence.

helped me l never would have fol-

POLITICAL sANCTIFICATI0NIsTs.

The napers are expressing surprise
that Henry Cabot Lodge, the foremost

Reform. should violate the spirit OF the

destroy it than any open opponent OF

Mr.. Mckinley and Mr.. Lodge evident
Nv think that the friends OF reform are
entitled to break down the law to get
their friends at the trough upon the
principle that the sanctificatlonlst oe-
Tended his right to commit sin. Upon
being rebuked for a certain lapse, the
sanctificationist said: "To me that is
not sin. Before l was sanctfied
could not do that without SHINING, put
nv sanctification makes all that l do
holy"
When "spoilsman" tears down civil
service to make place for a hench-
man. it is a political crime: when
civil service refOrmer does the same
thing. his deed has been sanctified.

WAYNE MACVEAGH'S PREDIC-

The speech of Wayne MacVeagh, OF
Pennsylvania, in his Phi Beta Kappa
orations at Harvard, has created much
discussion and comment. He was Attor-
new General under Mr.. Harrison, and,
though he was Republican, Mr.. Cleve-

his second administration The portion
of Mr.. MacVeaghs address that is most

Rev j. T. Fitch, Presbyterian mis-
sionary urges the churches not to take
any indemnity for property destroyed in
China by the Boxer outbreak. The Bud-
hists of Japan declined to receive any
indemnity. Mr.. Fitch argues that churches
have legal right to the indemnities.
but says that the people are paying the
indemnity perforce, but with very bad
grace" Here is his argument:
1.-The piling of indemnities in this coun
try of Wei-Hien-railroad, mine and
mission-would be a tremendous ad-
dtional load to this tax-ridden people.
How it would be viewed by the body OF
the heather is we'll illustrated by what
"a delegation of Christians said to us on
the subject. They came to us in body,
asking us whether they could not right
fully be exempt from the railroad indem-
nifty tax. They said they were not con-
cerned in the destruction or obstruction
Of the railroad, but on the other hand
were heartily in favor of the railroad.
How, then, could they be asked to pay for
what they had no share in doing, ana
which they had wholly discOuntenanced?
The same argument would apply with
much more force to our property. Now,
there are large numbers of the heather
who either were friendly, or at least
not hostile and who had neither part
nor lot with the rioters, who Will feel
in the same way about these taxes. This
feeling of sullen, hopeless wrong would
fall upon all.
Church and trade alike would share
their ill-will. Trade does not fear this
much, but it is fatal to the progress OF the
gospel We must win mems hearts, and
our fear IS that the pressing of indemnity
claims will result in the hardening OF
mems hearts 1t seems to be call to
relinquish a right, for the best interests
of the church. l think the church at
home could make no better investment OF
mission funds than by preventing such
a state of mind from settling down over
all this region
Closing his argument, Mr.. Fitch says:
eff now we can relinquish our whole
claim. we will have a tremendous van
tage ground in the future in pressing the
Christian method of mercy toward those
who have injured us"
Mr.. Fitch's letter comes too late, the
indemnity having already been levied, but
would not taking his advice give a
mighty impetus to the cause of Christian
ity in that country?

him say so and let him vote the Repub-
knowledge that his convictions are re-
spected. OF course. If he is a public
officer or seeks to lead public sentiment.
his public expressions are common prop
erty, and public journals will weigh his
reasons and his arguments, and he may
expect to have those who do not agree
rors. But no honest man, acting upon
conviction, will be deferred by criticism
from acting with the party he believes to
be right. 1t is equally true that no hon
est man will sail under false colors-will
advocate Republican doctrines while
seeking to he leader in the Democratic
party, or advocate Democratic doctrines
while seeking to be leader in the Re-
publican party. 1t is because McLaurin
and those who initiate him seek to pursue
such a course that they are justly con-
demned by good men. 1t is his dishonesty,
his stealing the livery of heaven"-as
the Democrats beleve-'in 4 which to
serve the devil that is reprehensible
and contrary to the straightforward and
transparent honesty which has character
lied Southern leaders for all time.
The people of North Carolina cannot be
deceived long at time. They have
never failed to resent interference in
their affairs from outside sources ;domin-
alton of their opinions even by leaders
they trust and honor; or sailing under
false colors. There is always need for
plain speech, for healthy independence,
for manly hostility, for straightforward
resistance to evil. But there is no room
now or ever in North Carolina for men
who are preaching Republican doctrine
while protesting to be Democrats, and
hypocritically crying out that free speech
and free action are throttled Most of
all: There is no place for sailing under
false colors, as McLaurin and his dis
ciples are seeking to do.

as to degrade many OF the race The
editor of this paper was informed when
in New Orleans last year that the CO.
caine habit had become so general among
the negroes as to greatly increase the
