If YOU ever took DeWitts Little Early
Risers for biiousness or constipation you
know what a purgatiye pleasure is. These
famous little pills cleanse the liver and rid
the system Of all bile without producing un.
pleasant effects. They do not gripe, sicken
or weaken, but give tone and strength to the
tissues and organs involved. W. II. Howell,

be used than Little Early Risers for constip1-
ton, sick headache ETC. Sold by all drug

two or three weeks after spraining his

This is an unnecessary loss of time, for
in many cases in which Chamberlain s

effected in less than one weeks time,

GEN. MILEs's REPORT.

As all our readers know, The National
Tribune has been firm and unwaverine
friend to Lieut.-Gen. Miles. AS soldier
fighting for the Union he made record
unsurpassed by that Of any subordinate
commander. There never was a more gal
liant leader of men, better disciplinarian
and provider for his troops, nor a man
more ready for any duty, than Lieut.. Gen
Nelson A. Miles. We have believed him
deeply injured by intriguers in the War
Department, and victim OF stabs deliv-
cred by men who rendered nothing like
his service to the country. But, however
much he may have been hurt, we can not
believe it the slightest justification for his
recent report attacking the conduct of the
army in the Philippines. Like most other
great soldiers, Gen. Miles has hot tenn
per, and also like many others whom we
could mention, he has not the best con-
troll of his tongue. When he gets angry
he gets very angry, and in his consuming
desire to get even he is liable to hit back
wherever he thinks it will hurt most. Still.
this will not justify an attack upon men
who had an arduous work to do in the
Philippines, and who were beset with diff
culties and exasperations which the people
at home know nothing about and can not
comprehend, and who must deal with ey-
cry situation as they find it, and not at
all according to the pleasant rulers Of the
New England Custard Pie Association
Certainly the General commanding the
Army should appreciate this, and not give
aid and comfort to the enemy by such ut
terances as Gen. Miles has made.

BRITISH VERSUS AMERICAN woRKMEN.

Now that the full text of the reports
made by the delegates Of the Moseley
Commission. sent hither to investigate our
labor system, is made public, there is n
lively discussion on on both sides of the
Atlantic. As the Commission was mainly
made up of Secretaries of the various
British Labor Unions, it was to be antici
pated that they should say things as
pleasant as possible to their own people,
As rule, they report that the American
workingman is quite inferior to his
British brother. This seems rather start
ling when We find that the products of the
American workingman's labor are general
ly found superior to those of the British
workingman, and are crowding them out
of the markets of the world whenever
brought into actual competition, even in
Great Britain itself. While American
goods are making their way into every
country in Europe against the most de-
termined opposition, it hardly seems pos
sible that they can be the result of any in
feriority on the part of the American pro-
uutei. DeieSute Ia. loI, VI tue DTlch-
layers. would be sorry to see American
methods of building adopted i'll England"
Possibly. The Westinghouse people found
that the bricklayers which they took to
England would lay 1,S00 brick day,
where the British would lay but 400.
James Cox, the Delegates for the Iron and
Steel Workers, says that ''any third grade
corporation in Great Britain would have
built the Chicago Post-ofiice in four years
instead of eight" Again, we note that the
Westinghouse people built their works in
Manchester with American workingmen in
one year instead of four or five, as the
English contractors wanted to do. Dele
gate Deller, of the Plasterers Union,
found our plastering, even in the White
House, bad, indeed, and sneers at the
steel town of Homestead, saying that 1.-THE
principal shareholder might here find a
good place to spend his millions in improv-
ing the conditions of the working people,"
On the other hand, Mr. Moseley himself
says that "the American wOrkingman has
far better education than his British
cousin, is infinitely better paid, fed. housed
and clothed, and, moreover, is much more
SOBER"
If the British workingmen cannot find
that they have anything to learn in
America, so much the better for American
industries, which will have less trouble in
outstripping such hidebOund prejudice.

RUSSIA IN MANCHURIA.

tional friendship between the two coun-

returns, the incident is automatically
closed. All the same, no one, not even the
writers of the notes, believes q word of
what has been written. Russia is as
resOlutely bent on the acquiring of Man
churia as she always has been upon the
acquisition of Constantinople, and will con-
tinue her efforts just as persistenHy. The
province is regarded by her as very essen
tial, in order to give her an important line

River, is country of great resources. and
would be decided acquisition to the
Russian Empire. 1t would give her on
the Pacific an agricultural population
something like that which we have in
California, Oregan and Washington, and
form a great buttress for her Pacific
power.
The question of intense interest to
European politicians now, however, is
whether she is using her operations in
Nanchuria to cover the renewal of her
advance on Constantinople, or using the
troubles in Turkey to cover her advance
upon Manchuria. 1t has been more than
a quarter Of a century since the terminal
ton Of her last war, which brought her
much nearer Constantinople than she had
ever gone before and it seems time for her
to attempt another long stride forward to
the goal of her desires.
