CONDEMNED AND EXECUTED,

The expected has happened and
Lieut.. -Col. Chas. G.. Ayres has been
retired from the army. His manner
of retirement ie not so peculiar as it ls
disgraceful to those who brought it
about. Our War Department is capa-
BILE of most any kind of dealing. 1t
was known that the verdict would be
against Col. Ayres when he was Or
dered before the examining board
that mellow If not over ripe examining
board. He had just as much chance
before it as cat in Il certain warm
country without claws. He is only 54
years old, be has taken care OF his
health, and today we learn can stand
more hardships than two thirds of the
''Old soaks, " "Keely kured" Or wills
key embalmed" guardians of the ma.
tion who are SO prevalent in the War
department, and on the "active" mus.
ter rolls of the army. Many of just
such officers may have been in the
scheme to turn him down, and the
physicians who examined him,
must have been very careless of
their regulations and very subservient,
because there was not a man, woman
or child in all the country who could
not have seen, indeed would not have
sworn in advance, that they would find
Col. Ayres physically incapacitated
for service. just as certainly as those
who watched the court martial of Gen.
Fitz John Porter Or Admiral Schley,
knew they would be found guilty. No
wonder Col.Ayres turned up his nose at
courts martial. Cleveland once mopped
the floor up with one that had sat upon
Col. Ayres, thus showing his contempt
for them. This examining board Was
court martial In one sense, and their
verdict could have been written from
the day it was stated he would be
summoned before them. Their finding
has not tended to elevate opinions OF
army tactics. No wonder the country
distrusts the army. No wonder it holds
in contempt courts martial. No Won

Col. Ayres was not a West Pointer.
This was his all peryading crime and
consequently drive at him was lnevl-

had the nerve to tell the truth which
means soldiers death. TO get lid of
civilian officers is called "purging the
army" and sets grin on the faces OF

HYDRA HEADED REBELllON.

The Staunton Daily News says that
the action of Gov. Glenn in the rate
case ''is nothing mere nor less than
rebellion against the government of
the United States. The News can
throw more compton ii. in less time
than any known thing, unless it be the
tabled gyrascutis. Fortunately the
public never becomes alarmed when
the cry of wolf is raised in Tat quar-
ter. 1t is not likely that Cows. Glenn,
or Swanson, or Conner of Alabama, or
Vardaman of Miss, will stop short In
their efforts even should they be told
they are Rebels engaged in a new re-
bellion. Nor do we apprehend that
the President will call for troops when
informed that there is a new rebellion
in the South, even though his authority
be this most sage. discriminating
and watchful journal. We cannot,
however. vOuch for Bill Loeb. He
may like the News man become ALARM
ed at his own shadow, see visions and
dream dreams.

Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady
heart beats, and makes one feel as though
they had heart trouble, because the heart is
over-working in pumping thick, kidney
poisoned blood through veins and arteries.
1t used to be considered that only urinary
troubles were to be traced to the kidneys.
but now modern science proves that nearly
all constitutional diseases have their BEGIN
