TWO VIEWS OF WAR.

The spirit of the Cars soldiers in
the Far East is probably well illus
trated in letter sent to a London pa
per by a correspondent who is with
Gen. Kuropatkins army. The corre-
spondeut writes:
All day Russian troops were hurry
ing southwark, and as night fell bat
talions were continuously moving out
brislxly to the accompaniment of their
battle songs. II was a stirring specta-
Gle to see the Russian army eagerly
fastening, singing. into battle. The old
battle hymns last heard in the Balkans
resounded among the hills and valleys,
as with bayonets glittering in the set
ting sun, the regimental colors were
borne majestically forward. For hours
after darkness fell over the scene one
could still hear the rattle of moving
guns. the creaking OF commssariat
wagons and the tread of marching
men, while occasionally, in place of the
war songs of the soldiers homely mel
odies recounting the joys of village life,
which carried the minds of the men
back to their distant homes in Russia,
echoed through the air.
1t is a stirring word-picture that is
thus drawn; a brave picture, well cal
culated to warm the readers sympa-
thies towards the gallant fellows
marching to the ronfiict in their coun-
try's cause. 1t shows the sentimental
side of war, with enough of pathos in
it to make the heroic part stand out
all the more prominently These men,

sides at home or singing strongly the
national anthem. 1t is a fine picture,
by brave troops.
But from a Russian source we have
pictures of the other side of war; the
bloody and terrible side. Verestchagin.
the painter who went down with the
Petropavlovsk at Port Arthur, put on
canvas the realities of war with gold
lace, shining buttons. brass bands and
national anthems eliminated. He
painted battle fields strewn with torn,
mangled and bloody bodies, and show
ed vultures lowering in the air wait
ing the nearby moment when their
feast might commence. He showed,
with all the power of master of brush
and colors, that war meant hardship,
suffering and death to the men in the
armies, and misery untold to the
wives and families at home. The pic
lures are a great argument for the
abolition of war. The Emperor of Ger
many said Of them that if they were
to he exhibited in his domain he would
find it hard to get recruits for his
army. Yet civilization has not yet adj
vanced to that point at which war can
be abolished. Verestchagin's most hor-
rible pictures will be many times re-
produced on bloody fields before the
war in the Far East is concluded.

Bald-headed men would pay a big
price for remedy that would make
hair grow on their heads. The amount
of money which bald-headed people
have squandered on hair restorers would
be sufficient to furnish capital for all
the national banks required by an in
FAINT republic. AS yet no remedy has
been discovered that will give a cover
ing of hair to a head that is as bare
as a billiard ball.
OF course. there are many hair re-
storers for which great virtues are
claimed, but the man who puts his
faith in these claims parts with his
cash, as rule. without getting a
satisfactory return for it, Still, so
eager are most bald-headed men TO
recover the good looks they lost when
they lost their hair, that, the great
majority of them are ready and will
ing to experiment with new remedy,
even though the experiment is an cx-
pensive one.
Just now. in New York city, some
attention is being given to the theory
that many of the ills to which the
flesh is hier can be cured by music.
Mrs. Amelia Weed Holbrook delivered
lecture in that city recently on THE
Power and Possibilities of Music"
She asserted that it would eventually
be shown that music was a greater
agent for the cure of diseases than
electricity. OF course, she was quite
safe in making that statement since
no one can say TO what extent sick peo-
Pile are benefited by music. In a num-
Der of European cities there are
sanitariums where the treatment of the
patients is wholly by music. The
amount of good the patients at these
institutions receive is another ques-
ton.
In her lecture. Mrs. Holbrook said
it was impossible to say what kind
of music would make the hair grow.
but she seemed TO be confident that
there was a kind that would bring forth
a crop OF hair on heads on which even
the roots were dead. If there is con-
| fidence i'm Mrs. Holbrook there will be
/ u Stdtth AtI NAiF mar pIouuClHE music.
because. if discovered, it will bring
fame and fortune to the discoverer.
But there is danger in the search
! for this kind of music. 1t seems, ac-
cording to Mrs. Holbroek. that while
some kinds of music are good for the
hair. other kinds are bad. She is care
full TO mention that music produced by
wind instruments is bad and this
! fact is to be carefully noted, namely.
that tune that will cause hair to
grow on one head will cause It to fall
out on another. Hence a man having
thin covering Of hair on his head
might become totally bald in his search
for music that would give him head
OF hair so thick that II would be
comfort and a JOY. II seems therefore
that only people totally bald can take
the music cure with entire safety.

Some weeks ago We expressed the
opinion that it would be taking a little
risk to import the Guatemalan boil
weevil-eating ant into Texas for serv-
ice in the cotton fields until much more
information concerning it than was
then available could be had. There
was nothing to indicate that the ant
would not become pest and possibly
as great a nuisance as the weevil itself.
1t seems that there are others of the
same way of thinking Mr.. Robert
Clark, prominent cotton planter of
Calhoun county, Tex, announces his in
tention of applying for an injunction to
prevent the Importation of the ants into
his section. He fears that the ants
will do more harm than good, and that
once they have infested a cotton field
it will be impossible to get hands to
cultivate and harvest the cotton, be-
cause the insects will sting them.
There are certain native ants that
sting, or bite, severely. If the Guate-
malan ants are more vicious than the
native variety, there may be something
in Mr.. Clark's protest.

THE FILIPINOs AT THE CONVEN-
TION


! The Filipinos will, in all probability,
give both the Committee on Credentials
and the Committee on Resolutions at
| the st. Louis Convention more or less
! trouble The question which will be
! presented to the Committee on Gre
dentials is whether or not the Filipi-
no delegates shall be admitted to
seats in the convention. The delegates
are present in st. Louis and their Gre
dentials are satisfactory, but if they
should be admitted the Republicans
would claim that the Democratic par
ty. by that act. had practically decid-
ed that the Philippines were a part Of
the United States, and that the prob
ability was that they would remain so.
If the Democrats should put plank
in their platform declaring that the
Fihpinos should be treated as the Gu
bans were. namely, given their indie
pendence as soon as arrangements
could be made for them to take charge
Of their own political affairs, the Re
pubicans might. and probably would,
assert that the Democratic party had
already consented to receive the as
sistance of the Filipinos in the making
of a President, that they had never ac-
corded such a privilege to the Cubans,
and hence that they regarded the Fill
pnos as holding a relation to this
country different from that held by the
Cubans.
OF course it might be pointed out
that the Philippines are a possession
of this country, and while they remain
such the F'ilpinos ought to be well
treated, but it would be difficult. in
heated political campaign, to make the
public understand the attitude of the
Democratic party on the Philippine
question. Probably the wiser plan for
the Democratic party to pursue i'm the
matter is to keep the Filipinos ont of
the convention, but it is doubtful if
that will be done.
The Filipinos, according to our dis
patches yesterday, propose to ask the
Committee on Resolutions to put
plank in the platform promising to
give the Philippines a house of repre-
sentatives. They claim they want to
show that they are now capable of
managing their own political affairs
Their idea is to have a sort of Goa
gress. the house being composed Of
Filipinos and the Senate of the Phil
ippine commissioners. If the Demo-
Gratis were to put such a plank in their
platform it would look as if they had
no intention of insisting upon an en-
tire separation of the Philippines from
this country in the near future, but
were preparing a foundation for the
permanent retention of the islands
were favoring concessions which would
make the Filipinos satisfied to remain
cOlonsts of this country
In whatever light they may be view
ed the Filipinos present some trouble
some questions. There is no doubt
that this country would be better off
from every point of view without the
Philippines than they are with
them. AS long as there is doubt as
to what the final disposition of them
is to be they will be a subject for po4
litical contention and if they are
retained permanently they doubtless
will be a potent means of introducing
corruption of one sort and another in
to the civil service of this country.

THE ILLINOIS CONTEST.

The most troublesome contest the
Committee on Credentials at the St.
Louis convention will have to deal with
is that from Illinois. The. contesting
delegates are composed of Mr.. Hearst's
adherents, and the regular delegation
is instructed for Mr.. Hearst, though it
is understood that a majority of
its members are against. him.
Two delegations from Illinois result
from the fight between Mayor Harri-
son and John p. Hopkins for the con-
troll of the party in that state. Mr..
Hopkins made a combination with Mr.
Hearst for the purpose of beating
Mayor Harrison, with the result that
the delegation to the st. Louis con-
vention was instructed for Mr.. Hearst,
much against the wish and expectation
of Mr.. Hopkins. The Harrison and
Hearst delegates, who it is understood
viii support Mr.. Hearst, If seated, were
turned down at the state convention.
The fight against the Hopkins dele
CATION is based upon what are alleged
to be the unfair rulings of the chair
man of the state convention. 1t is
stated the chairman of the convention,
who was a Hopkins man. refused to
allow roll calls and so decided ques-
lions as to favor the Hopkins faction.
How much truth there is in these
allegations will doubtless appear when
the contest gets before the Commit
tee on Credentials. 1t is worthy of
notice that Mr.. Bryan has taken up
the fight in behalf of the Harrison
Hearst faction. having proxy which
enables him to do SO. The National
Committee, it seems, favors the Har-
rison- Hearst faction, though that is
no indication as to what the Commit
tee on Credentials will do.
OF course, it is well understood that
| the fight is between Harrison and
Hopkins for the control OF the state
machine. It is doubtful if either of
/ these two men cares much who is
named by the convention for Presi-
dent. 1t is thought that the Hopkins
delegation stands better chance of be-
| ing seated than the Harrison Hearst
| delegates, for the reason that the ma
! jority of its members, Notwithstanding
| the fact that it is instructed for Hearst,
is really for Judge Parker.
1t is probable that the main reason
why Mr.. Bryan is taking so much
interest in this contest is that he
hopes to get the Harrison Hearst dele
! gates seated, because they would be un-
der his control, and assist him in pre-
venting the nomination OF Judge Par
ker. 1t is doubtful, however. If fol-
lowers OF Bryan and Hearst, even il
| the Illinois contest were decided in
! favor of Harrison and Hearst, would
amount to third of the convention.
| Nevertheless Mr.. Bryan doesn't in
tend TO miss single point in the
| fight he is making to have a plat
form OF his own choosing and to de-
| feat Judge Parker.

The ten dollar immigrants that
lately arrived in New York were not
the first of their kind to come into
this country. In 1873 the Cunard Com
pany cut its. immigrant rate to $40, and
for the three weeks that the rate last
ed the company's ships were packed
with newcomers. Again in 1894 there
was rate war, and the price was
cut to $40; and again a flood of cheap
immigrants poured in. The low rate
that time extended over a period of
one month. On both occasions there
was such storm of protest in this
country against the undesirable immi-
grants that were attracted by the $40
rate that the companies quickly saw
the wisdom of putting up the bars"
again.

ANOTHER GERM DESTROYER.
Herpicide is Death to Dandrufr Germs

The germ burrows into the scalp,
throwing up the cuticle in thin scales,
called dandruff. or scurf, and digging
at the root of the hair, where it saps
the hairs vitality. First comes brittle
hair, then lusterless and dead-like hair,
then falling hair, and, finally, badness
Nine-tenths of the hair troubles are
caused by dandruff. Without dandruff,
hair will grow luxuriantly, as nature
intended. "Herpicide" kills the dan
druff germ, leaving the hair to grow
unhampered, as it does with the Amer
