TIE MAINE AND
THE WAR WITH SPAIN

On the supposition that the full
exposure of the wreck Of the
Milne in Havannah harbor show
that it was destroyed by an
in ernal explosion, a great many
n vspap"rs are assuming that the
destruction Of tie Maine caused the
de .laration by our congress of
war against Spain. in retaliation
and that the proof that the
Destruction OF the ship and the
lives of the brave men that went
do vn to death IN her, was not the
fault Of the Spiniar6s at all, is Il
great humiliation TO US and that it
should be q lesson to us net to be
carried away in a At of passion
over a supposed wrong.
All of which seems quite un-
necessary Tho destruction of the
Milne may have hastCnad the
declaration though it was many
weeks after thc ship was destroyed

people forget tat even before
Pr esident Cleveland's term of
off ce expired he was strongly
disposed to iaterfere in Cuban
aft airs and declared that if the
oI.rages there being perpetrated,
were not soon stopped, to interpose
w'ul' be the duty IF the United
States.
The then Captain had set to
work to destroy all who where in
arms against Spanish authority and
to starve to death the old men and
women; and the children of those

reatos; that when they found ems
of thousands of those starving
wretches whom they had to feed
an nurse to health. And almost
as brutal as Spain's rule in the
PHILIPPINES. The truth is our
government had been trying for a
year and a half to avoid a war
with Spain and had been urging
that country &c stop the atrocities
in Cuba. But Spain was not only
Indifferent but was all the time
almost impertinent. She be-
lie ed that in csse of wal her feet
could sink ours, and that if any Of
u forces larded IN Cuba she
could treat them as she treated
two or three little iii ibustering
exDenditions of Americans. She
being already TO be destroyed,
the gods hal made her mad"
The entire unselfshness of the
United States vas made clear by
the pledge which congress made
VIII IN the declaration was ISSUED,
guaranteeing Cuba, in casc Of the
success of our arms. to the Cuban
people. which promise was full
filled, just as soon as order could
restored and the island put in a
position to maintain itself.
Finally we expect that it wilt
be demonstrated that all the
Names magazines were exploded.
But what set them off except an
explosion from the outside?-

Cure for Const patton

1t is hard to tell just why SEAVER'S
LAXATIVE TONIC TABLETS have be-
come so popular with most people, but
considering the short time they have
been advertised, the demand for them
has been cause for wonder They are
no different in appearance from other
laxative tablets. but they really must
possess unusual merits, for from our own
personal observation we know that they
always do just what is expected of them.
Their action upon the skin and com
plexlon is remarkable, for the principal
ingredient in them is extract of dande-
lion and your own doctor will tell you
that dandeion is one of the greatest skin
alternatives known to the profession.
1t your bowels are Inactive, your skin
sallow, your tongue coated and if you are
troubled with pimpes or bilious spells, a
25 cent box of SEAVER'S LAXATIVE

Seasonable Table Linen.

The finest damask. shining like satin,
has largely supplemented the lace
pieces that for awhile were exclusively
popular.
So great is the craze for beautiful
damask that even monograms are held
to detract from the beauty Of its de-
sign and are not allowed.
Thus one set of centerpieces and
tumbler and plate doilies is simply of
damask bordered with hand embroid-
cred scallops.
The all over tablecloth at luncheon
is hopelessly old fashioned, the polish
ed wood must show somewhere.
The patterns of these damasks are
many and novel. Some are of the
period of Louis Quinze-ribbons and
baskets of flowers. stripes and spots
and flower clusters and single blossoms
all very dainty and attractive.
This by no means bars out entirely
