Fictitious.

It is very seldom that we pay much at
tention to reports circulated IN reference
to the virtue OF patent medicine, as We
have always considered that reports OF this
nature were more or less fictitious and got
ten up for the purpose OF creating demand
from the public. But the publication in
various papers of the wonderful results OBJ
tained from using that famous remedy st.
Jacobs Oil, and from the fact that 1t Is a
remedy for outward application only, led
us to make trials of it in our own family.
One, a case of lumbago OF long standing
which had previously resisted every form
of treatment, was permanently cured by a
few applications of the Oil. Another was
spTained ankle, with severe pain. This
was instantly relieved and permanently
cured in few days by the use OF st. Jacobs
Oil, while for severe toothache cheandneuralga
1t acted almost like magic, SO quickly did the
pain depart after the Oil was applied. Our
own experience in using the Oil, as above
indicated, was so highly satisfactory that
we determined in the interest of the gen
eral public TO make a thorough local inves-
tigation among dealers and others who have
sold and used st. Jacobs Oil. Recognizing
Messrs. Taylor and Co. as headquarters for
all proprietary medicines, we called at their
Briggate Store, and on making known the
object of our visit to the general Manager,
he stated that their three stores in Leeds
were selling more than a thousand bottles
of st. Jacobs Oil every week, and the trade
was constantly increasing-that it was the
most popular remedy sold and was highly
spoken of by everyone who used it. The
Manager said he had heard hundreds OF
people say they had been permanently cured
of rheumatism, neuralgia, sciatica. and sim.
liar complaint by the use of this famous Oil.

Life Wan is Pardoned.

Albany, y. Y, April 17-Gov. Oden
yesterday pardoned Amer Bon Ali,
better known as "Frenchy," who has
been serving life sentence in Mat
teawan prison for murder of a wo-
ma called "Old Shakespeare" in New
York City, in 1891 The pardon was
granted because the governor be-
lieves there are grave doubts of the
prisoners guilt, much testimony be-
ing of peculiar character, and
"Frenchy' being unable to speak
English. The pardon was asked for
by several influential and prominent
men.

PARTISAN INSINCERITY.
How Senator Hanna Exposed the
POItrOOn Methods of Democratic
Opponents.

Senator Hanna cleverly exposed the
insincerity of the partisan opposition
to the ship subsidy bill when, just be-
fore the vote was taken on the passage
of the measure, he offered amend
ments to it whose effect was to remove
those possibilities which democratic
members had declared to be pernicious
and against which they had directed
the main force of their antagonism,
says the Albany journal.
Democratic senators who had spoken
against the bill had never tired of as
serting that foreign-built ships would
be likely to receive goodly share of
the money which it &vas proposed to
appropriate to give material aid to the
work of reconstructing the United
States merchant marine. So Senator
Hanna offered amendments providing
that no foreign-built ship shall receive
a part of the subsidy unless it is eX-
pressly stipulated in the bill that it
skall and, further, that hereafter no
American registry.
Then the democrats voted against
the amendments which removed the
ground of the objections of which they
had made so much.
The bulk of the opposition to the bill
comes from those who would oppose
any proposition coming from the re-
publican side, regardless of its nature.
Included in this general opposition is
the specific opposition Of those demo-
Gratis who are opposed to any and all
measures for the projection and pro-
motion of American industries, whose
antagonism to the proposition to give
material aid to American shipowners
is of piece with their antagonism to
tariff protection for American indus
tries.
The urgent reasons for the enact
ment of the ship subsidy bill into law
have been so often stated in these
columns that it would be superfuous
to recount them. The action of the
United States senate shows that the
soundness of those reasons is recog-
niZed by men who have given the sub
ject thorough study. Hundreds of mil
lions have been spent and other hun
dreds of millions will be spent for the
construction of warships. in order that
this country may be well equipped to
defend itself against hostile aggres-
sion and to protect its interests in all
parts of the world, and no strong OPP
position to such expenditure has been
encountered. 1t is manifestly grossly
Inconsistent to oppose the expenditure
of few millions annually for the pur
pose of encouraging the construction
of ships of peace, in order that the
United States may become at last we'll
equipped to protect itself against for
eign trade aggression and to promote
its commerce in all parts of the
world.
1t is now the duty of the house of
representatives to complete the carry
ing out of this part of the declared
policy of the republican party by
passing the shipping bill which has
just received the Endorsement of the
senate and has long had the indorse-
ment of all Americans who want to
see their country become as great in
peace in every respect as it has proved
itself to be i'm war

Colorado Admirer of Roosevelt
Sends Savage Present TO the White
House,
A genuine mountain lion has Just
reached the White House as a testi-
monial' to the presidents hunting
prowess. 1t is the gift of friend at
Hayden, Col, and an exception will
be made in this case in that the beast
will be kept at the White House in
stead of being sent to the geological
park, as is the usual custom. Coons,
wild cats, bears, lions, tigers, alli-
gators and other attractive pets have
all been consigned to the 700, while
things like cats and dogs are usually
allowed to stray or are given into
the tender keeping of the White
House attendants. Chickens fare

Consideration was created about the
White House when the rumor spread
about that the box lifted from the
express wagon contained a mountain
lion, and great respect was shown the
new arrival. Later, however. when
it was understood that the lion is a
art, new courage was taken and the
box was carried to the basement of
the White House. The animal is
beautifully mounted, and will find a
place either in the upper hall of the
private part of the house or in the
library

We have already done good deal
for the Philippines. We have estab-
lished supreme and lower courts and a
police and constabulary force of 5000;
we have increased the receipts and de-
creased the expenditures; we have en-
rolled 100000 children in the public
schools; we have set to work 1000
American and nearly 1000 native
schoOl-teachers; we have established
agricultural and Industrial schools:
we have night school in Manila whose
enrolment has reached 2j,00O: we are
building roads there, one of them to
cost S1,O0O,GO0; we are improving Ma
Mia harbor at an expense of $1,000
600; we are buying the 403 900 acres of
land owned by the friars and reselling
ii to the people on easy terms; we have
nearly S7,000,0OO in the island treas
ury to help meet the outlays for inn
provements. We have 10000. 600 acres
Of most valuable timber land in the

we bought Alaska for $7,OOO,O00.

PRESERVED IT'S HONOR.
Pledges Made to Cuba Have Been
Faithfully Kept by the United
states.

The United States will formally re-
linquish control in Cuba and turn over
the affairs of the island to the new re
public which will be installed May 20,
at which time President Palma is to be
inaugurated. This will close the chap
ter in history which records what our
country has done for its neighbor. The
chapter is one which reflects the high
est honor upon the. United States.
President-elect Palma himself has said
it in a statement made lately in Wash
ington:
THE government of the United States
has shown a most beautiful example of
good faith in dealing with a weak govern
ment which It undertook to rescue from
Its oppreSsors. 1t has demonstrated its
generosity and patriotism, and by the shed
ding of its own blood has helped Cuba TO
break the chain which united ii with Spain.
Some countries would have sought some
preteXt for selfish gain in undertaking
work of this character, and taken advan-
tage of some technicality for their own
aggrandiZement, but the contrary spirit
has been manifested by the United States.
and II has given to the world an evidence
of good will seldom found The people of
the United States have remembered their
own declaration Of independence, and have
fulfilled a duty to mankind"
President-elect Palma's gratefut and
graceful tribute is one to be put on
record and remembered, says the Troy
Times. 1t might be well to read it oc-
casionally to those unpatriotic fault
finders who seem determined, in de-
fiance of all the facts, to prove the
United States untrue to its pledges to
Cuba. Those pledges have been kept
thus far with a faithfulness unsur-
passed in the experience of nations.
The United States can start the new
Cuban republic proudly conscious that
it has shown magnanimity without a
parallel and that its honor is without
a stain.

ETThe democrats in congress-at
least if the democratic members OF
the senate Philippines committee cor
rectly represent them-are going to
indorse "the policy of scuttle' in the
far east. These members of the com
mittee have prepared a substitute for
the Philippine government bill which
proposes to relinquish United States
sovereignty over the islands. But it
is good deal of a hunco scherse. 1t
sets no time for such accomplishment.
and it does specify conditions which
it is probably impossible for the ma
tives to comply with. 1t is so OBJ
viously a piece of political tricliery
