FOREIGN NAVAL PROGRAMS.

MIR. Lewis Nixon. designer and
builder OF warships. declares that he
expects to see within the next five
years the most terrific war in the
worlds history between England and
Germany.
He believes the crisis will come
with the conclusion By England that
she can whip the German navy as Il
now stands. but rs It may stand one,
two or three years hence the issue
would be in doubt
This expression of opinion leads
the Boston Globe t. remark:
1T would seem that England in
building the first dreadnought.-l7.9o 900
tons of steel. $4,000 horsepower
engines. 10 12-inch guns and 80
smaller ones. with S65 men to run it
made n serious mistake. THIS she
did when her supremacy Was unques-
toned. By building a dreadncugh,
did she not practically destroy the
rest of her navy, and give every ether
nation a chance to start even with
her? Evidently Germany thought so.
Perhaps. therefore. in this frequent
changing OF battleship types. lie the
hopes OF those VINO love peace and
deplore war;
: 1t was stated In the British House
of Commons a week ago that by 1871:
Germany would have seventeen bat
tleships OF the Drcadnought type. a
Berlin correction reduced the number
to thirteen.
There Is no special reason for be-
licving that Germany is spelling for
a fight with England EXCEPT sort Ct
personal antagonism between the two
peoples. There are many reasons
for suspecting that the German gov
eminent has designs upon South
America. particularly Brazil, to which
territory millions Of her subjects have
emigrated.
Unless the United States be ready
to abandon the Monroe Doctrine and
suspend its aspirations to~be regard
ed as a real world power. with the
ships aud men to nack its pretensions.
this country has got to buiid big bat
tleships and build them quickly.

HOW STATEWIDE WORKS.

A vail comes from a Tennessee
editor against statewide prohibition
which should cause every advocate OF
that principle to pause and think. Says
the scribe in the once Of the Sewer
Vile Vindicator:
We could get over drunk in two
days before Tennessee went dry. but
now II takes US two weeks TO ge,
straighteued out after getting drunk
on the stun the statewide has given
u.s."
However, there are two sides to the
question. Two weeks wear and tear
upon the constitution In the process
If SOLDERING up should have a tendency
TO discourage future toying with the
blind tiger commodity.
Still, considered from the cccno-
mical standpoint. as the Norfolk Nir-
ginian-Pilct points out, il man
wishes 10 so upon a two weeks spree
II is better for his purse that he be
enabled TO crafty his desire by total
expenditure Of seven cents in blind
tiger" poison than be forced TO renew
very two days at cost OF from ten
TO fifteen cents a drink.
OF course the statewide law. &C,
cording 20 the indicators editor. Is
an Inconvenience to the fellow who

ASSAULTS UPON THE PRIMARY
PLAN

PIAN.
Discussing the proposition that has
been advanced from scme quarters
that the Virginia Democracy ought TO
hold n convention this year. the
Fredericksburg Free Lance says:
We have all along held firmly 10
the idea that the primary plan CT
nominating Democrats for office would
not work satisfactorily. Its enor'
nous expense. which the candidates
must bear. while q most serious op-
lection, is still enc Of the minor CD
iectiOns 1t new develops. as We pre-
dicted ii would more than two years
ago. that politicians. and the news
papers generally. which have been un-
willing to listen to anything bul
primary nominations. to the exclusion
: q the convention system. are ciamor-
Ing for q convention in order that the
Democratic party may have an oppor-
tuuity to go on record as to State
issues.
This scheme will obviously only
aid to the enormous expense new OBJ
tanning to get a candidate before the
people They. nave found the primary
plan utterly lacking as means OF
nomination and defining issues. and
have learned that 1t needs to be bois'
tered up by a convention in addition
to prevent individuals from prop
ing platforms for the party. The
only sure relief is to return TO the
convention plan. which is less expen.
sive, performs the double service OF
nominating the candidate and pro-
pounding the party's principles al
one and ths same time. while II
creates enthusiasm and not dissen-
sions as the primary clan has invaria
bly, done"
As this newspaper formerly stated
II is not clamorinS for a convention
this year. It is net absolutely con.
virced that a convention will be
necessary In any year. provided can

HOME CURE FOR ECZEMA
Oil of Wintergreen, ThymoI, Glycerine.
ETC., Used rs a simple wash.

1t really seems strange that so many
people suffer year in and year out with
eczema, when it is now no longer a
secret thai oil of wintergreen> mixed
with thymol, glycerine, etc., makes q
wash that is bound to cure.
Old, obstinate cases 1t is true, cam
not be cured in a few days, but there
is absolutely no sufferer from eczema
who ever used this simple wash and did
rot find Immediately that wonderfully
soothing. calm, cool sensation that
comes when the itch is taken away. In.
stantly upon applying a few drops of
the wash the remedy takes effect. the
itch is allayed. There is no need OF
experiment-the patient knows at once.
Instead of trying to compound the oil
of wintergreen, thymol, glycerine, etc,
in the right proportions ourselves we
are using a prescription which is uni
versally found the most effective. 1t Is
known as the D. d. d. Prescription, or
Oil of W~intergreen Compound. 1t is
made by the d. ID. D. Co. of Chicago,
