treatment has been given by DR.. Sieber for the last
twenty-five years, during which time he never has had
one single case of relapse; second, after a person has
taken this treatment he feels that he is well, that the
disease is removed. The mental agony which he suf-

so we arrest the resulting disease and then nature steps

tertiary symptoms appear, but to begin treatment at
once. We can are yon; Hs0er failed to cure one single

We are pleased to announce that not long since a
leading doctor of Hot Springs sent us a patient whom
he could not cure. The patient is doing nicely under
our care, and 1t looks now as if he would soon be well.
In this connection we would say that if any physician
who may read this article has a case of contagious blood
poisoning which he cannot cure we shall be pleased to

ADMIRAL SAMPSON.

The death of Admiral Sampson is a happy
release from distressful state of body and
mind, and even those who We're united to him
in the closest ties must be comforted by the
thought that he is at rest. 1t is. indeed, some
consolation. in rejecting on the injustice to
which Incorporate partisanship has stopped, 10
know that for long time he has hardly been
conscious Of 1t, and consequently that many of
the malicious shafts aimed at him have missed
their mark.
Admiral Sampson served his country with
perfect devotion and distinguished ability. At
the outbreak of the Spanish war his reputation
for thorough knowledge of his profession, sound
Judgment. skill and energy had been so firmly
established as to Justify his appointment, over
an officer of higher rank. to command the ma
tion's naval forces In Cuban waters, and in his
every act throughout a laborious campaign
which ended in splendid triumph he vindi-
Gated the wisdom of his selection, though there
is a temptation to criticise the benevolence
which caused him to refrain at one time from
superseding his second in command. The block
ade of Santiago which he maintained for five
weeks has never been surpassed in vigilance,
and will always be memorable for its systematic
employment Of every available resource, includ-
ing the use of battleships in a duty to which
naval practice had never before assigned them.
He prepared for every emergency of the fight
which Cerveras desperate orders precipitated.
and the glorious victory which followed was
victory which he had organized. 1t was bit
ter disappointment TO him, and must have ap-
peared like a malignant fate, that when the
Spanish ships made their exit from the harbor
he was not present with his flagship TO lead
the attack which he had planned. But his abb
sence from the scene, in the strict line Of duty,
though the personal consequences were painful,
did not in the slightest degree affect the prog
ress or result of the battle fought under his
orders or detract from the credit which be-
longed to the commander in chief
During the long and mischievous controversy
which the unreasoning partisans of Admiral
Schley provoked, and which ended in the just
condemnation of their hero, Admiral Sampsons
conduct and demeanor were irreproachable. He
either friends or foes, but continued to perform
his appointed duties in silence so long as his
failing strength permitted. That was an
ample of reticence and self-respect under pecul-
iarly trying circumstances in which the navy
should recognize one Of the finest lessons of
Admiral SIMPSONS career. He has departed,
not, it may be feared, in the conscious assur-
ance of unfading renown; but we entertain no
doubt that his services will be more and more
gratefully appreciated by his countrymen as the
years pass and that his place in history near
the front rank Of great commanders is secure.

THE REAL PHILIPPINE ISSUE.

Senator Lodges speech on Monday was a COM
prehensiTe statement of Philippine affairs re-
garding both the proposed system of civil gov
erDment and the military situation. 1t is to be
commended for careful perusal to all who with
and impartial minds desire rightly to un-
derstand what our soldiers and civil admins
traitors are doing in those islands and what
pending legislation proposes to do for them.
There has been more valuable contribution
10 the current literature of the subject Amid
so much that is so good. however, there is one
feature of the speech deserving of especial en-
phasis and consideration. That is the terse and
sententious passage in which the speaker de-
clared what had been the real offence of the
United States Army in the eyes of those who
are now reviling t. 1t is not that it has been
guilty, as men say, of cruelty and torture. at
has been guilty of the crime Of success IT has
"been victorious army. II has put down the
"insurection. And that is crime for which,
I'm some quarters, there is no forgiveness"
In those sentences Senator Lodge exposed the
root of the matter. 1t is exactly true, as he
said. that the current attacks upon the army are
made by those who are striving TO delay the
establishment OF civil instead Of military gov
ernment in the Philippines We may safely
add that they making such attacks for the
sake Of making such delay. That is to say. they
tyranny, and at the same time are doing their
utmost 10 keep the army there and 10 prevent
the substitution of representative civil gov
ernment. 1t would be difficult 10 imagine a
more complete case Of Standardization and of
self-coDvictioD Of hypocrisy. Senator Lodges
brief but mastery exposure Of II shows that the
opposition is aiming primarily and above all
else at thwarting the nations policy. AT en-
bsrrassing the government IN it's delicate ardu-
Gus and surremely import mt work and at
making IT impossible 70 restore peace and estab.
lsh free and permanent government in the

That is a detestabe end. The means by
which IL is sought are worthy Of H. For In
order 70 create and to maintain a state of semi.

pine legislation. BETTER might II be asked how
any one could have the effrontery to say that
an American general had received his educa-
non In savagery and in cruelty and in bar
"barity over in China where we are informed
the allied forces took little children and
Drained them upon posts threw them into
rivers and slaughtered and prosecuted without
mercy and without limit helpless women"
Truly the world has been informed that these
things We're done by some of the "allied forces"
But it has been equally informed, and ii knows,
that the American troops did none of these
things, and that the American general upon
whom this Infamous aspersion is cast was con-
spicuous for his humanity as we'll as for his
valor in that campaign; that he not only led
the relief and rescue of the beleaguered lega-
tiOns, but that also he stood as a wall of pro-
lection between innocent Chinese and their
would-be destroyers, and that when he departed
with his troops from China the Chinese la
mented with tears the departure of their friend
and protector.
Such wanton malignancy betrays it's own
character. First, the opposition tried to defeat
the ratification of the treaty OF peace with
Spain, preferring a resumption of the to a
triumph of the administration which they hated.
Beaten in that they melted and encouraged the
Philippine rebellion against the lawful author
ity of the United States. 1t was they. as the
gallant and martyred Lawton declared who,
from the safe shelter of the United States di-
rected the bullets which struck down American
soldiers in Luzon. Beaten in that-for, in spite
of their aid and comfort to the rebels the re-
bellion has been suppressed-they rage with
reckless defamation against our victorious
army, and desperately seek, by finging mud
from their last ditch upon the American uni
form and the American flag. TO delay the con-
summation Of the campaign for peace and free
dom and civilization. Peace or war. govern
ment or anarchy, civilization or barbarism?
That is the issue in the Philippines. We do not
believe that all the mingling of hysteria and hy-
pocrisy in the world will persuade the American
nation TO decide it in the latter direction.

BRET HARTE.

When a celebrated writer of fiction dies IL Is
not uncommon to hear readers who never saw
him regretting his death as If it were that OF a
personal friend of theirs. No doubt something
of this sentiment will enter into the feelings of
many of those who have just heard of the sud
den death of Bret Harte near London. Yet to
many more the news must come with an almost
entirely impersonal significance. Though he had
published his Luck of Roaring Camp" and sew
eral other of his best books before he was
appointed United States Consul at Cref1eld in
1878; though he has always ranked as an Amer
lean author in the fullest sense of the term, so
far as the character and qualities of his writings
have been concerned. his absence abroad Gov
cred so long period of time that the man, as
distinguished from the author became little by
little almost unknown this side of the Allan
tic Even in London, where he preferred TO
make his home. he was not one of those per
sonalities about whom intimate talk is con
stantly being circulated in print. In the biog-
raphy of William Black, published only few
days ago, Bret Harte is described by the Eng
lish novelist as ''the most extraordinary globule
"of mercury-comet-aer aerolte gone drunk-hash
"of lightning doing catherine wheels-I ever had
"any experience Of" This bit of portraiture
must come as a complete revelation to most If
not all Americans.

moreover, of the most interesting figures
in our literature. No American writer has put
more of the soil into his compositions. He drank
deep Of the inspiration afforded him by that
earlier phase in the development Of the West in
which realism and romance did not jostIe one
another simply because they were inextricably
intertwined. He had imagination without it
he could not have given TO his stories the pecu-
lar quality for which they are remarkable-but
in bis first and best volumes be laid down for
himself rule from which he rarely departed

naturalness and simplicity Of life itself That
is why the rise Of Mr.. Klpling and the inev-
table comparisons that ensued left the wiser
admirers Of both men undlsturbed in their
loyalty to the American. The fresh glamour Of
Mr.. kiplngs Indian tales was well calculated
to shake that loyalty The work was so new,
