THURSDAY, MARCH 5, 1896.
The Patriotism of the Period-
Elsewhere in this issue will be found
an entertaining article from the pen
of Judge While of Missouri, in which
the author touches up in a very happy
manner the bogus patriotism of the
present day. The keen sarcasm of
production will doubtless commend
itself to the average reader who does
his own thinking and who pins his
faith to no man's sleeve. Judge
White apparently belongs to that
class of vigorous thinkers, like Carlyle
and Horace Greeley, who persist in
calling a spade a spade rather than an
oblong garden implement. The pub
lic needs more such writers men
who will tell the reader what he ought
to know rather than what he wishes
to hear men who strike straight from
the shoulder, yet never hit below the
belt.
International Arbitration.
The Venezuelan episode has already
strengthened the sentiment in favor of
a permanent international arbitration
board. A memorial has lately been
issued in London for the signatures of
both Englishmen and Americans,
requesting without expressing any
opinion on pending controversies
the prompt conclusion of a treaty
whereby all disputes between the two
countries shall be referred to a per
manent tribunal.
1 ne views 01 ueneral Orant upon
this subject will be read with special
interest at this time :
"Though I have been trained as
soldier and have participated in many
battles, there was never a time when.
in my opinion, some way could not
have been found for preventing the
drawing of the sword. I look for
ward to an epoch when a court recog
nized by all nations will settle inter
national difficulties instead of keeping
large standing armies as they do in
Europe." .
The Monroe Doctrine. .
The rerolute manner in which th
unitea states asserted its policy in
raianon 10 tne Monroe doctrine, as
applied to the situation in Venezuela
has produced results that cannot but
be satisfactory to all lovers of peace,
The insulting, overbearing attitude of
Great Britain towards Venezuela has
changed and the tone of the English
press, as well as the utterances of her
statesmen, points to a peaceful settle
ment of the difficulties, in which right
ana justice shall play a more import
ant part than might. But Americans
must not forget that though apparent
willingness to yield something to us
was brought abont by a condition of
affairs in Europe that may be changed
wnen tne next time comes, and it is
quite doubtful if Englishmen ever for
get or forgive us for havinz in a meas.
ure humiliated them before the whole
world. With the three other great
powers ready to dispute with her over
the settlement of Eastern and African
questions, she was in no position to
join issue with the United States, and
therefore she has prepared herself to
yieia as gracefully as the circumstanc
es will permit. ' It she had felt per
iectiy secure at home, the "Flying
Squadron" would have visited New
York, Philadelphia and perhaps Wash
ington before this.
Having reasserted and reaffirmed
the famous Monroe Doctrine, and
having perhaps extended somewhat
its original lines, we now occupy a
peculiar as well as a hazardous place.
W e are liable to be called on most
any day m the year to either recede
from our position or fight. Every
European nation sympathizes with
England in this controversy. They
do not look very favorably upon our
claim of supremrcy upon this conti
nent, and they will sooner or later
attempt to make us back down. They
will try to choose a time when they
are ready and we are not. We could
not get the arms and ships viih which
to successfully resist an attack by
either of the great powers of Europe
in less than two years if we commence
now. If this is true, and there can be
but little doubt about it, then any
further delay is exceedingly dangerous.
, Every true American knows that we
will never recede from our position,
and knowing this, he ought to insist
upon having the proper steps taken to
prepare the nation for any emergency
which may arise Towdnda Refubli-dm.
The hopeless defeat of the Rcpub -lican
tarilf bill in the Senate on Tues
day, is evidence conclusive that th e
Republicans fear the result of tampe r
ing with a law that is becoming more
satisfactory every day. Since con
vening they have not done a thing b ut
pass appropriation bills and the proba
bility of adjournment without an y
more legislative action to their credit
is growing greater with every succeed
ing session of Congress. There is
great ground for Democrat c hope i n
this, because they are spiking their
own guns on the question of a d o
nothing Congress, and bad as was the
body that sat in the 53rd, its work
ill prove very salutary to Democra cy
hen compared with that of the 54th
Npent oa Natlnaal Ometrrl.
The annuel report of Brlg.-Oen. It. N.
Bachelder, Quartermaster General of
the United States Army, has Just been
made to the Secretary of War. Among
great variety of statistical Informa
tion are the following points:
The contract system for the supply of
horses continues to give general satis
faction, and the standard has been
greatly Improved since the system was
adopted. The average cost of cavalry
horses for the fiscal year was $95.44. and
for artillery horses $148.04. The cavalry
mount of to-day excels that of any pre
vious time, and all Information shows
It to be superior to that In foreign
armies.
The cessation of Indian wars and hos
tilities on the Rio Orande, rendering It
unnecessary to further maintain post
transportation on a field campaign
basis, the reduction in the number of
animals, wagons harnesses, teamsters.
hostlers, etc., thus effected, together
with the forage and bedding heretofore
required for the animals, will affect
considerable saving to the appropria
tion. The average cost of team horses
durlnar the year was $197.83. and of
mules $114.84. Under authority of Con
gress an appropriation made for the
construction of buildings at, and the en
largement of, such military posts as in
the Judgment of the Secretary or war
may be necessary," had been expended
as follows:
Fort Creek, Neb.. $70,058; Presidio, of
Ban Francisco, Cal., $34,941; Fort Myer,
Va.. $46.00; new post . near Little Rock,
Ark., $U.t00; Jefferson BarracKs, mo..
$14,620: Plattsburg Barracks, N. Y., 1

Thomas, Ky., $108; Columbus Barracks,
Ohio, $133; Fort Harrison. Montana,
MOO: Fort Ethan Allen. Vt., $61; Fort
Sheridan. 111., $11,759.
During the year 7.340 white marble
headstones were provided to mark the
graves of soldiers, sailors, and marines
burled in National, post, city and vtl
lace cemeteries, and the sum of $19,434.
8S was expended In necessary repairs to
roadways to National cemeteries, which
were constructed by special' authority
of Conpress. An examination of the
records shows that the appropriation
made by Congress for the establish
ment, maintenance, and Improvements
of National cemeteries, including ray
of Superintendents, headstones, monu
ments, purchase of sites, and construc
tion, and repair of roadways from their
IneeDticn to June 30, 189a, amounted in
the aggregate to $8,165,636.47.
As well as nil other important organs
find strength nnd vigor in Hood's Sar-
sapanlla. The way in vt hich Hood's
Snrsaparilla restores ntrenrth after
serious illnrss, by purifying', vitalizing
and enrieliing tho blood, wins warm
praise and cordial recommendations.
Head Mrs, Messenger's interesting
statement!
" I want to say a few words In praise of
Hood's Sarsaparllla. Nearly two years
ago my health began to run down, and In
the fall I had an attack of the grip. From
that time on my heart and
Eeirves
were very badly affected, so that I could
not do my own work. I consulted our
family physician and received a little
help. I read about Hood'a Sarsaparilla
and decided to try it. - In a few weeks I
had been benefited bo much that I was
able to do my own housework, washing
and all. I have, also, taken Hood's Pills
in connection with Hood's Sarsaparilla,
and they, too, have done me much good.
I will not be without them. I have taken
thirteen bottles of Hood's Sarsaparilla and
through the blessing of God it has cured
me, I have worked as bard as ever the
past summer, and I am thankful to say I
am perfectly well. I advise any one whose
Stomach
is out of order, or who is suffering from
nervous prostration or heart trouble, to
take riood's Sarsaparilla and Hood's Pills
and be cured. Hood's Pills when taken
with the Sarsaparilla help Just as much
a?aln." Mrs, Mary m. Mebhengeb.

THICKS OF A DBUUQIST.
n rrvent Slavery to Morphine by Mm
pie Deception.
"A frood deal Is written about the Im
prudence of physicians In prescribing
morphine, but not half as much as
should be," said a veteran Wabash
Avenue drugfrlfit. "The slaves of that
drug are on the Increase. They have no
trouble in procuring It, if they have the
money to pay for it. It is a safe propo
sition that a large proportion of mor
phine users, especially women, have
been led into the habit by the bad Judg
ment of their physicians. Let me give
jou an instance: A woman in this
neighborhood was 111 with an exceeding
ly painful disease. Her doctor wrote
her a prescription containing morphine
She is a sensitive, nervous woman, of a
type common enough, and readily re
sponded to medicine. I thought she
was well, when in the course of a few
days, she sent the prescription to me to
be renewed. A week later it came again,
and In less than a week after that the
servant brought it a third time. I had
her leave it and sent for the woman's
husband. Why did his wife require the
prescription so often? I asked him. He
didn't know, but Bhe had told him she
couldn't do without It. Did he know it
contained morphine? He did not, and
was horror-stricken. He was confident
his wife was Ignorant of the presenc
of the drug, to whose effect she was be
ginning to yield. I am satisfied, also,
she knew nothing of it I fixed up a
little scheme with the husband. I pre
pared the prescription, leaving the mor
phine out. It was sent back once after
ward, and that was the end of it. That
woman was rescued without knowing
how near she had been to slavery.
"Another case; I filled a prescription
for pills containing a considerable per
centage of morphine for a young mar
ried woman. She experienced the
effects of the drug, nc-t knowing what
It was, ar.d, of course, sent it to be re
newed several times. I got hold of her
hunband, pledged him to aid, and sub
stituted quinine pills. The core was
completed.
"There are many other Instances, how
ever, where women learn the nature of
the Btuff they are taking, and before
they realize it are its victims." Chi
