from the East through the mails and

own.
Under this bill, as new lines are es-
tablished between our ports and lands
across the Atlantic or the Pacific they
must carry free American mail. With
the enactment of this measure i've
years will witness wonderful change
in the relations of the United States to
ocean transportation. Long before the
limited period of the subsidy has pass
ed we shall have returned again to the
jubilant and patriotic feeling OF Daniel
Webster. We can again proudly boast
that our ships are upon every sea, our
flag in every port, and the name and
fame of our country respected by all
nations, and that the products and the
goods of the United States are in sue
cessful competition in every market OF
the world without rivals in production,
trade and manufactures.

must deal with the blood. 1t must be
able to eradicate and eliminate the
poisons which corrupt the blood and
breed and feed disease. When the
blood is cleansed, the pimples, blotches,
boils and other eruptions disappear,
ulcers and sores are healed and the flesh
becomes sound and healthy.
THE RIGHT WAY
to cleanse the blood from scrofula Is to
choose that remedy which has cured
thousands of people who suffered from
scrofula in it's most grevious FORMS
al am using a good many of your
medicines in my practice" writes DIR.
Joseph Fike, Of Lost Springs Marion
Co., Kansas. cTen years ago there
was an emigration from Rusland to this
country and there was a lady in the
company who was badly affected with
that dreadful disease, scrofula. Her
mouth and throat were in an awful con-
dition, and there were Jumps on the out
side, below the jaws, the size of hens
egg. Other doctors had been called
and they said it was fatal case l felt
confident that none of my remedies
would benefit her any. 1t came to my
mind that DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery was recommended for such
cases, so I went to the drug store and
bought one bottle and gave it to her to
use as directed. Five bottles cured
her and she is we'll to day She is
married now and has three healthy
children"
DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov-
cry judged solely by the cures it has
effected is without doubt the most pow
erful and most perfect blood purifying
medicine of the century. 1t is a radi-
cal remedy. 1t goes to the root of the
disease Some preparations containing
mineral poisons such as mercury are
offered as cures for scrofula. These
medicines only suppress the symptoms
of disease for while and give the skin

lous poison from the blood and 80 the
organs which are fed by blood are re-
lieved from the scrofulous poisons which
destroy them. Obstinate, deep-seated
coughs, bronchitis, bleeding of the lungs
and similar dangerous forms of disease
are perfectly and permanently cured by
vGolden Medical Discovery"
oDr Pierce's medicine has not only
benefited me greatly but It has done
wonders for my two sons" writes Mrs.
M. Hartrick, of Demster, Oswego Co.,
N. Y. oBoth had scrofula. l have lost
two daughters in less than five years with
consumption and scrofula. My eldest
son was taken two or three years ago
with hemorrhage from the lungs. 1t
troubled him for over year. He took
DIR. Pierces Golden Medical Discovery
and has not had hemorrhage in over
year. My younger son had scrofulous
sores on his neck had two lanoed, but
has not had any since he commenced to
take your medicine"
ABSOLUTELY RELIABLE.
"Golden Medical Discovery" can be
absolutely relied on as safe and sure
medicine for diseases caused by scrof-
ulous condition of the blood. 1t cures
disease of skin and scalp, eczema, salt
rheum, letter, scrofulous sores and swell
ings, as we'll as scrofula of the lungs and
other diseases having their origin in a
corrupt condition of the blood.

MINE HORROR,

VICTORIA, B. c.. Feb. 16.-An ex.
plosion took place Friday morning at
the Union niue in The village of Cum
berlani near here. Sixty men we're
in the mine when the explosion took
place and not one of them escaped.
The explosion ignited the mine,
wrecking the shaft from mid way down
TO the bottom aud filling it with solid
mass of rocks, earth aud timbers. The
first explosion was followed by several
more, while dense volume of smoke
pouring from the vent holes indicated
that fire as well as gas was doing de-
structive work below.
AS soon as possible the men of the
morning shift in No. shaft organized
a rescue party. No. 5 is situated about
a mile from No. 6, but the two work
ings are connected by tunnel, and
through this channel an attempt was
made to help the unfortunate men in
the wrecked shaft. They had not cut
their way many yards through the
debris when they encountered fire
which rendered the placs untenable
and obliged the party to desist. Over
come at last by gas and smoke, they re-
luctantly withdrew from No. and
commenced WORK on long cut from
No. 4,lthe only other means OF reach
ing the men. Work on this was prose-
cuted with the greatest vigor until
abatement of the fire in No. 5 enabled
them TO once more return there.
1t was thought another rescuing par
ty would reach the imprisoned men by
midnight. Little hope is expressed
that any of them are alive. All the i'm
prisoned men have large families.

a look of clearness, but after a time the
suppressed disease like a smothered fire
breaks out with a new violence.
1t is the uniform testimony of those
who have been cured of scrofulous dis
eases by the use of oGolden Medical
Discovery" that the cure Is permanent.
In many instances the testimonial to
the cure has not been offered until the
lapse of several years proved how
thoroughly and lestingly the medicine
had done its work.
No class of people are more grateful
for the blood purifying power of the
rDiscovery" than women whose faces
have been marked and marred by
pimples and other eruptions. The
smooth skin and clear complexion
which come back when Golden Med.
ical Discovery" has swept the blood
clean of its corrupting poisons, are a
source of unfeigned delight to those
who for years have had their beauty
married by some form of eruptive dis
ease. Beauty begins in the blood, and
the first step to beauty is to cleanse

KINGS EVIL.
How Ignorance and Super
stition go Hand in Hand.

A curious sight might have been seen
In England couple of centuries ago.
At Whitehall or some other royal resi-
dence little group of people would
shrinkingly await the coming of the
king, in order to be vtouched for the
evil" The specific oevil" was scrofula,
and 1t was the popular belief that scrof-
ula could be cured by the royal touch
Hence the common name for scrofiila
was Kings Evil.
Nowadays we know that scrofula is a
disease of the blood and that even were
there magic in kingly touch, no ex-
ternal treatment could cure scrofula.

How the navy of the United States
stands in Europe may be judged from
The following remark of Captain How
gard, of the Danish navy, who has
jdst arrived in Washington: "My gov
eminent has sent me here to study
American ship-building, and especially
ship engineering. The American navy
is recognized on the European CONT
nent as the best without any exception,
the most modern, and, 80 far as the en-.
gineering is concerned, it is looked upon
as a marvel of perfection. While in
this country will try to make arrange
ments to have our cadets take courses
in engineering and technology here"

We do not care rap about either
Admiral Sampson or Admiral Schley-
and we do not believe tina the able
bodied men in this country who work
for living do either. But it is very
tiresome, this constant effort to boost
Sampson at Schley's expense. Samp-
son now is just behind Schley. The
President wants to put him just ahead.
This is adding insult to injury. Aud

no part, and where Schley commanded

President Mckinley very frankly
tells the Senators and Represen tatives
who call on him that if the Cubans
complete and forward their constitu-
ton to Washington within the next
few weeks, as they are expected to do,
he will call an extra session of the
Fifty-seventh Congress to deal with
the matter, as he most positively de-
clined to accept the responsibility of
deciding it himself. This is regardless
of whether the present session fails to
dispose of all the important pending
legislation. Only two weeks of the
present Congress remain. The regu.
lar appropriation bills will require a
great deal of this time. Then there is
the oleomargarine bill, now before the
Senate; the ship subsidy bill, which the
opposition declares shall not be voted
upon; the revenue reduction bill, now
deadlocked in conference, owing to the
refusal of the House conferees to ac-
cept the Senate amendments, and
other measures of more or less impor-
lance. The work of the present week

The ST. Adams Messenger enormously
is of the opinion that the public is not
interested in that paper's rhetoric, but
allows that eff the JOURNAL wants to
discuss the meuts of the subject matter
of the original Messenger editorial,
that's quite another thing There
doesn't seem to be anything to discuss.
The Messenger presented no facts to
show that the towns or cities are
swindling the State in making up the
liquor agency accounts. II charged de-
liberate, calculating, premeditated and
widespread fraud in making up these
accounts, but its only proof was
evolved from its editorial inner con-
seriousness, and on this as pretext
emitted a periodic "screed" against
law of the State, encouraging disrespect
for and disregard of that law directly,
and law in general.

Juarez, whom 30 good a judge of
men as Mr.. Seward styled the Wash
ington of Mexico, and who was the
founder OF the existing Republic and
it's present prosperity, dealt with free
hand with the friar question in his
country. President Schurman, of the
first Philippine Commission, favors
buying the possessions of the friars of
the archipelago by the government.
Juarez practised wholesale confscation
of church property and possessions.
About all there was in Mexico that was
worth having was held by the religious
orders. Till these possessions were re-
leased and made public property there
was no chance for his country's prog
ress. He had no money with which to
buy, so Juarez confscated, and Mexico
began the new career which she has
pursued under President Diaz's long,
pacific, progressive and prosperous adj
ministration. The treaty of Paris
recognizes the property rights of re-
ligious bodies, but it is deemed that it
is just and proper to take such property
as the extensive holdings of agrlcul-
tural lands, or other possessions, as any
other property would be taken which
the government requires, or which the
general welfare demands shall be
taken, by right of eminent domain and
pay therefor an equitable sum. This
question is one of the most important
and delicate the government has to
deal with in the Philippines.

THE ScoURGE OF
CIVILIZATION.

From half civilized or
unsanitary countries come
the plaques which deci-
mate the teeming popula-
tons of the Orient. SAM
tary science and medical
skill have banished the
plaques from among our
selves, but civilization has
its own scourge in that
form of scrofula which
attacks the lungs and is
popularity known as con-
sumption.
Plaques are not per-
sistent. They appear and
disappear again for years.
Scrofula of the lungs or
consumption is a persistent
disease. Every day of
every year it gathers in its
victims one-sixth of all
deaths from disease being
attributed to consumption.

extra session will be made necessary
aside from the Cuban question.

Justice Brewer, of the United States
Supreme Court, appointed from Kau-
sas, in recent lecture at Yale Univer
sity on the duties and obligations of
citizenship, said of the recent develop
ments in his State, affecting these du-
ties and obligations:
eft every man and woman in Kan.
sas, Notwithstanding personal feelings
in the matter, had enforced the laws
there, George Washington would not
have been compelled to divide his
Ratchet reputation with Mrs. Nation"
If the laws were obeyed, if there
were not open and deliberate defiance
and suppression of law, there would be
no Mrs. Nation and her Ratchet, there
would be no organization of citizens into
vigilance committees for the mainten-
ance of order and the protection of So
ciety, such as was seen in San Francis
co in the early fifties, in which William
L. Sherman bore leading part, which
took the issues of life and death into
its own hands, and which purged the
community of infesting gamblers, rob-
bers, murderers and other classes of
criminals. Here and there, in the his
tory OF every State, these things have
occurred. They are not to be judged
by the ordinary standard. The circum-
stances and the end justify the means.
They are not subjects for fine ethical
distinctions. They embody the rugged
elements of original right and justice.

To show how Congress is "wasting
time" the Free Press reprints from the
Congressional Record a part of COLO
guy between Senators Tillman and
Beveridge, in which Senator Chandler
took an incidental part. The talk was
small to an infnitessimal degree, and
the Free Press properly characteriz d
it as "puerile nonsense" but having
printed column of the stuff virtuously
concluded that it "did not care to waste
printers ink by copying it further"
The waste of printers ink was inap-
preciable compared with the sacrifice
of printers space in filling up with such

Yesterday was the third anniversary
of the blowing up of the Maine, and
the controversy over the honors due
the officers OF the Atlantic feet on this
anniversary becomes active again. The
President has sent to the Senate the
nominations for promotion once before
sent to that body and not acted upon.
The President has also asked that the
thanks of Congress be given to Ad-
mirsl Sampson. AS to Sampson and
Schley doubt is expressed that the
Senate will take any action. Admiral
Schley's friends are reported as declar-
ing that they will never permit an en-
dorsement of the Presidents recon-
mendation that Sampson be given rank
superior to Schley. With this excep-
ton it is believed the nominations can
be favorably considered.
The Memphis Commercial Appeal
suggests that Mrs. Nation undertake

the line of her recent efforts. But it
wouldn't be the Democratic party when
reorganized.
