 The Portland oregonian argues that the enthusiastic reception given Admiral schley wherever he goes is partly a tribute to him as man and an officer and partly intended as a rebuke to the Navy Department at Washington. The oregonian is doubtless right. for the peo- pie of the United States are lovers of fair play, and they are glod of an opportunity to rebuke what they consider injustice to a brave officer. From the very beginning of the investigation at Washington there has never been any reason to doubt the feelings of the American people, and they are showing that feeling by giving Schley a welcome wherever he goes, which al- most amounts to a general ovation. The American people are all right.

MT. Belmont's Campaign Expenses
 New York, Feb. 1, 1902.

Editor The Advertiser
 In the issue of your paper of January 29 there is an editorial which criticises the campaign methods of Mir Perry Bel mont who was recently defeated for Con gross in the Seventh New York District Your editorial does MT. Belmont a great injustice and there can be no doubt that the writer depended upon misleading in- formation and misstatements of facts when he wrote the article
 MT. Belmont was a candidate for Con- gress at a special election, He certified to an expenditure of between $14.0OO and $l5,OOO. The greater part of this amount was for the legitimate expenses of sev- eral Democratic factions as he had no regular Democratic organization back of him and he was compelled to pay all the expenses of the campaign. His opponent spent personally. according to his state ment, AOO0. It Is known, however, that he was the nominee of his party and that he received the earnest support of his party both financially and from its regular voters. Indeed, while MT. Bel monts opponent may not have spent per- sonally as much money as MT. Belmont spent the organization and the workers behind MT. Belmont's opponents spent a much larger sum than Mir. Belmont spent.

Rocking the Reform Baby.

Travers Jerome never said a wittier thing than when he told the Amherst grown-ups last Thursday night that he had sat by the cradle of reform and seen the baby rocked out on the floor several times. That's history as well as wit. The cradle in question needs the most careful, judicious rocking and not infreauently gets the other sort.

Right on the Main oustion.

Mobile Register.
 No less wei informed publicist than Josiah Strong. author of Our Country, '' has well demonstrated in his book, "Ex. pansion." that the trade of the Pacific and of the world Is to be fought over by the Saxon and the Slav and the theatre of that great commercial war will be the Pacific. Students of Captain Mahan's writings upon England as a sea power, will recognize that one of the essentials in a commercial war Is a strong navy to protect and safeguard the commercial navy. Captain Hobson may be little premature in calling for S25. 900 600 a year but he is right on the main question.

The Kansas City Journal, speaking of Senator Bacon of Georgia. says he fought five years in an army of rebel lion" Leaving out the fact that there was never any such army since the Amer ican Revolution we object to the infer ence that the Georgia Senator fought a year longer than any other Confederate soldier. He was doubtless a good soldier, but he didn't commence fighting a year earlier, or keep 1t up a year later than all the rest of us.

BAD BLOOD, SAD COMPLEXION.

The skin is the seat of an almost end- less variety of diseases. They are known by various names, but are all due to the same cause, acid and other poisops in the blood that irritate and interfere with the proper action of the skin.
 To have smooth, soft skin, free from all eruptions, the blood must be kept pure and healthy. The many preparations of arsenic and potash and the large number of face powders and lotions generally used in this class of diseases cover up for short time, but cannot remove per- tnanently the ugly blotches and the red, dishguring pimples.
 Eternal vigilance is Gls0 s1rEC0 of a beaufIfWE complexion when such remedies are relied on.
 MT. IT. T. Shobe, aTo4 Lucas Avenue, st. Louis Mo, says: My daughter was afflicted for years with a dis6guring eruption on her face, which resisted all treatment. She was taken to two celebrated health springs, but received no bene- At. Many medicines were prescribed, but with the time the first bottle W as finished the eruption began to disappear. A dozen bottles cured her completely and left her skin perfectly smooth: She is now seventeen years old. and not sign of the embarrassing disease has ever returned"
