"Turn the RascaIs Ont"

What little of the pOStoffice scan-
dals that has been allowed to come to
light and the charges made of official
shortcomings in other departments,
makes it evident that the entire Offi-
cial machinery of the nation is clogged
with dishonesty. Every department
and bureau that has been even par
TALLY Investigated, teens with loot and
dishonesty that parallels, if it does not
exceed, the era of robbery that culmi-
mated in the election of Tilden. The
Star Route frauds; the Mulligan let
tiers; the Credit Mobilier, and the Pa
cilic Mail subsidy were crimes for
which the people held the Republican
party responsible.
The voters are now confronted with
the postal scandals, the Cuban lOOting,
the Agricultural Department rotten
ness, the Land Department frauds,
the Porto Rican smuggling cases, and
the War Department and Philippine in
famies, besides charges against the
other departments that have not yet
been investigated and which will
doubtless swell the unsavOry record.
The old cry that aroused the cOun-
try, Turn the rasca!s out" will again
be the slogan of the coming presiden-
tial campaign. The extOrtion of the
trusts and the robbery Of the people by
the protection granted to the combines,
under the tariff, bad as it is, does net
compare with the delinquencies Of the
officials who have been placed in power
to preserve the rights and pockets Of
the people. Without an honest admin
istration the government becomes but

road merger and the beef combine.
Perhaps President Roosevelt and his
Attorney General have become discour-

have become converts TO the Hanna

Is quite probable that the bad trusts,
which includes nearly all of them. have
found a way to propitiate the trust

ton, as the protectionists found way
to emasculate the Iowa idea and rem

PE-RU-NA gEHzEff ESEEf&ffiAto 70 WOMEN
Saws lr M Gee of San EranciscA

A CONSTANTLY increasing num-
~ ber of physicians prescribe Pc
runa in their regular practice.
1t has proven its merits so thoroughly
that even the doctors have overcome
their prejudice against so-calied patent
medicines and recommend it to their
patients.
81 Advise Women to Use Pe-ru-na,"
Says DR.. Gee.
DIR. NJ. c.. Gee is one of the physicians
who indorse Peruna. In a letter written
from 513 Jones street, San Francisco,
Cal, lie says:
There is general objection on the
part of the practicing physician to ad-
vocate patent medicines, but when
any one medicine cures hundreds of
people, it demonstrates its own value
and does not need the Endorsement of
the profession.
"Peruna has performed so many
wonderful cures in San Francisco that
/ am convinced that 1t Is 8 valuable
remedy. Ihave frequently advised It's
use for women, as find 1t inSureS
regular and painless mensfruafion,
cures leuCOrrhRa and ovarian troubles,
and builds up the entire system. Ialso
consider it one of the finest catarrh REM
edies l know of. l heartily indorse
your medicine. G. Gee, NJ. u.
Mrs. Il. T.. Gaddis. Marion. n. c., is
one of DR.. Hartman's grateful patients.
She consulted him by letter, followed
his directions, and is now able to say
the following:
Before l commenced to take Peruna
1 could not do any hard work without
suffering great pain. | took Peruna,
and can say with pleasure that it has
done more for me than any other medi-
cine l have ever taken. Now Lam as

it never hurts me at all. / think Peruna
is a great medicine for womankind."-

ing power Of the people, especially in
the better grades Of woolens, and to
suggest that the high prices which the
coal and other trusts have been charg.
ing have left the masses stranded and
unable to buy many things which,
heretofore, even in hard times, they
have enjoyed, finds no Improvement
whatever in the general condition of
industry. In its issue of July 0, in
comparing 'wOol in London and Unit
ed States" it says:
''The Interpretation which most per-
sons will put upon the opening of the
London sales is that fine woods have
been pushed as high as the purchasing
power. of final consumers will allow.
The same tendency is discOv-
cred in this country that Is revealed
abroad by the London wool auctions.
Medium and low woods are in the best
demand on this side of the Atlantic,
and display relatively the firmest ten
dency in the matter of price. The
world over, coarse woods appear to be
doing the work Of fine WOODS in larger
and larger measure. The extent to
which this is the state in the United
States is clearly shown by the fact
that. whereas last year domestic quar-
te,.-blood woods were sufficiently higher
than South American low woods to ad-
NIT of large importations. to-day the
latter are selling so close to the domes-
tic commodity as to preclude heavy i'm
pOrtatiOns."
1t then sounds note of warning to
those who are continuing to buy wool
at present prices, which are certainly
not high when compared with other
prices, or considering the great scare
ity of wool the world over. 1t says:
"The seabOard trade continue to buy
at the present high quotations. on the
strength of what they believe to be
the statistical position of wool the
world over. Whether they are making
sufficient allowance for such contin-
gencies as n monetary disturbance in
the fall, a decline in the general pros
perity of the country, and a diminu-
tion In the purchasing power Of the
masses. is something which can only
be- determined later"

That Open Door,

The growi of the Russian bear has
bluffed Mr. Hay into believing that the
brute may bite if too many liberties
are taken with him. Mr.. Hay. as the
diplomatic advisor of President Roose-
Welt, has persuaded that impulsive gen.
tleman that he must be more consider
ate Of the feelings of the Russians or
the work of years and the expenditure
of thousands of lives and millions Of
treasure in the Philippines will be
worthless.
The people of the United States were
induced to believe that the retention
of the Philippines as colony would
give the United States a key to the
door of China and that after opening
it untold wealth would be theirs. But
somehow in the shutfling Of the cards
the little joker has always fallen into
the hand dealt to Russia and that gave
her the command of the game. 1t Is
therefore not surprising to be officially

pillage and piracy; back Of all econ
omic issues must be ordinary honesty
in public servants. To pass laws to re-
form the tariff or control the trusts
will be worthless unless the rascalS,
who seem to infest every department,
are turned out and honest public SER
wants installed to administer the re-
forms. The first and greatest reform
is to turn the rascals ont" especially
those who are the highest in command
and who, either by cOllusiOn or incOm-
petent management, have allowed the
looting without an effort to stay it.
Even now they are trying to hamper
the investigations and, by refusing to
give the facts to the public. are trying
to divert the peoples minds into other
channels. The interest of those in
charge Of the fortunes of the Republi-
can party is to cover up delinQuencies
for the good of the party and to scru-
tinize as little as possible the wrong
doings of their subordinates. 1t is
therefore the leaders that must be
turned out and the punishment Of the
lesser culprits will duly follow.
1t is impossible for an administra-
ton to reform itself. Every politician,
great and small, even the honest ones,
dislike to see disclosures made that
reflect on the party and only just
enough is allowed to come to light to
appear that publication is intended.
The evidence has been furnished that
months before the postOffice scandals
were revealed, President Roosevelt was
informed that gross frauds were being
perpetrated, yet no investigation was
ordered until the newspapers took UP
the "get rich quick" frauds and these
led to the other exposures. For over
two years it was known and published
that members of the postoffice crowd
were bleeding the publications for per-
mission to mail at the One-cent pound
rate, but neither President Roosevelt
nor his Postmaster General ordered
any investigation Of the charges,
though appealed to for that purpose
A new deal is therefore necessary
and the rascals must be turned out
before reform is possible.

Popular Civil War Song.


One Of the most popular of the civil
war songs. When Johnny Comes
Marching Home, came near being
stified in its birth. 1t was written by
Louis Lambert, a native of Connects
cut, and graduate of Yale. At the
outbreak of the rebellion he offered his
services to the Governor Of his State
but was rejected on account of his
youth. So he remained at college. His
father and brother were in the North
ern army-John Lambert, Sr., and
John Lambert, Jr. A great number of
Connecticut troops We're coming home
on furlOugh and the people in the
town where the Lamberts lived We're
making great preparations for giving
the soldiers welcome home" Louis
was the poet of his class at Yale and
was asked to furnish poem for the
occasion. He wrote When Johnny
Comes Marching Home, which the re-
ceptiOn committee considered to undig-
nified for SO important an occasion,
and the song was rejected.
Not to be OutdOne, young Lambert
came from New Haven to his native
village with every member Of his class
to attend the reception given the troops
on their home coming. The students
had memorized Lamber's new song,
When Johnny Comes Marching Home.
They had set it to the music of one of
their rOllicking college drinking songs.
What the song lacked in dignity and
patriotic spirit 1t made up in life and
action
AS the soldiers were passing under
the ,triumphal arch the students struck
up the song. When Johnny Comes
Marching Home wasn't on the pro-
gram, but it made such an instanta-
neous hit that the multitude soldiers
and all-took up the joyous strain and
kept singing it to the exclusion of all
the rest Of the fine ceremony that had
been arranged. When Johnny Comes
Marching Home was all they wanted.
Louis Lamber, the smart Yankee lad.
had won his point and was the biggest
man in New Britain.
News of the episode spread rapidly
all over the country and requests for
the song commenced to pour in from
all parts of the North. 1t became one
of the most popular of all the wartime
songs and is to-day frequently sung
and Dlayed.
