THE COLUMBIAN, BLOOMSBURG, PA. CTKREVr COM1IKST. 9t anil Comment. Political and Otherwise, on Matters ( Pabllc Interest. By Andrew J. Palm. ' We must stand with the president, la the err of the jingo statesmen who fear the effect that a war of subjuga tion will hT on the public mind. Those who attempt to do this will bo kept hopping about lively to find enough standing places. McKlnley has the reputation of being the greatest Jumping Jack that has ever rattled around In the seat of Washington, Jef ferson, Jackson and Lincoln. He has do principles that he Is not willing to trim so as to catch the breeze of public tpinlon as recognized by Marcus Aure jus Hanna. Bishop Potter, who recently visited the Philippines to learn what he could of the natives and the island, among other things describes a visit he made to a factory in Manila, where nearly 600 Filipino boys and girls were weav- Ing cloth. , The overseer told him they had in six weeks learned to work the looms, while it would have taken Irish and Scotch children as many months to attain the name degree of proficiency. Yet Bishop Potter and his fellow im perialists have the impudence to de clare that the parents of these boys and girls are not fit for self govern ment, the same plea made by the roy alists and torles In 1778 when our fore fathers were struggling for their independence. The large number of suicides report ed among the American soldiers in the Philippines is evidence that the task undertaken by the imperialistic Mr. McKlnley is anything but pleasant to those who must do the murdering and pillaging necessary to subdue the lib erty loving Filipinos. As mauy as three suicides have been reported in a single week, and It is said that nearly 600 have gone Insane. Those who are responsible for the war in the Philip pines, those who agreed to pay Spain 920,000,000 for the privilege of complet ing the butchery and destruction she had begun, are the fellows who should be compelled to shoulder arms and expose their well fed bodies in the swamps of Luzon. If McKlnley and his coterie of imperialists who declare that they and Ood are doing a noble work were called upon to chase Fili pinos or be chased by Filipinos, the war would ceme to a close instanter. If the time ever comes when men will stand on their rights and refuse to be come tools to shoot down their fellows at the command of some so-called supe rior, war will forever cease, for the men who make wars and profit by them never fight its battles. The Quay case drags its weary way through the senate, and will be tracked if excuses enough can framed for postponing it from time 10 time until the end of the session. There ' are too many senators who lack tho moral courage to vote as their Judg ment, their conscience, their constlt aents and their constitution dictate, if It come to a point where they must de clare either for Quaylsm or against It. They dislike to stultify themselves if they can avoid It, and hence would like to see the ease go over without being compelled to take a stand to upset the precedents of a century. There are some Democrats who, acting on the principle that birds of a feather are xpected to flock together, will vote to seat Quay, corrupt as he is kmown to be. Several are Buspected of having come under the Influence of that potent argument on which Quay has always depended to help him out of his diffi culties, criminal and otherwise. It is refreshing to find a senator who looks at matters from a sensible standpoint and proposes to stand by his Ideas of right. Senator Teller declares it Is In decent to vote one day to deny a man a seat and the next give admission to another on the same credentials. He thinks that after all the precedents of a century on this question It ought to be regarded as settled. What respect, he asks, can the country have for a body that has no respect for Itself? A year ago lumber was $12 a 1,000 feet; now It is 18. The increase in the cost of production is nothing; the Increase in profit to the lumber trust Is B0 per cent. The Increase in cost to the house builder Is 50 per cent. Such is the McKlnley plan for encour aging people to build and own houses. -Pennsylvania Argus. IS HIGHLY ESTEEMED. THE SUDANESE FEVER. Alter Marriage They are going to be together just as much as before; going to ride the wheel, take little pleasure jaunts, etc., enjoying everything together. Isn't that what many a young couple promise each other f And yet, how very soon the wife begins to say "No, I don't think I care to go. You go alone, dear." Young women don't reckon on the great physical changes which follow mar riage. How can they when they are allowed to grow up in entire ignorance of vital physiological facts? They feel languid, weak and nervous. Sometimes there is headache and backache. The pulse no more leaps in answer to the thought of a spin on the wheel. Women who have used Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, know how promptly the languor, headache, backache, nervous ness and weakness are cured by this medicine. Many husbands write in gratitude to Dr. Pierce for the medicine which gives them beck the wife's compan ionship, as it gives her back her health. All prslst i due to you for your wonderful Favorite Prescription,' writes Mr. John W. Coflinao, of KHisburg, Caacy Co., Ky. "My wife, suffered with female irrcgulsrity; was confined to bed erery three weeks. After using two bot tles of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription she eras cured, and hss not suffered any dersnge suent since. Your ' Favorite Prescription ' is a boon to delicate woineu. - There is no alcohol in Favorite Pre scription," and it is entirely free from opium, cocaine and ail other narcotics. )rowd Throng the Hons Galleries When Consjresnmnn Mttlefleld la Slated for m Speech. Rarely does a congressman ascend to l prominent position before the peo ple of the country u rapidly as the newest monitor of the delegation from Mnine, Charles K. Llttlcfleld the late Nelson Dlngley's aurcranor. It was rrn when Mr. I.lt tlefleld first ap peared on the floor of the house that he was large and strong physically, and now, nfter his speeches on the question of seating Itrigham II. Roberts and im posing a tax on Porto Rico's commerco with the states. It Is observed that Mr. u JL if CHARLE8 E. LITTLEFIELD. (Congressman Who Has Achieved Fame Within Three Months.) Littlefleld Is a large, strong man men tally. Mr. Littlefleld, who is 49, began at. an early age to provide himself with money by Ms own toil. At IS he went haying, uiul thus earned his first dollar laboriously. Later he became a car penter, and he was earning four dol lars a day when he decided to study law. Ills professional education was based on n common school education all he ever got. Asa lawyer he worked 14 or 15 hours every day but Sunday, and for 15 years he seldom reached home in the eventng before the rest of his family were asleep. Sundays he usu nlly went with his wife to a Congrega tional church In his home town of Rock land. He became a slate representative, speaker of the Maine house, attorney general of the state and Mr. Dingley's successor at Washington. Naturally, says the Chicago Record, Mr. Littlefleld thinks that the chief secret of his success Is work, but he admits that his working day of 14 hours was made possible hy health and power of endurance. He has toen a total ab stainer all his life, and he "chews" only the spruce gum of his native state. He Bays he has found more trouble In sav ing and Investing money well than In earning it. He hns a higher estimate of married men than of bachelors, and his sympathy goes out to the lawyer in congress who is trying to preserve bis practice and at the same time do his full duty to his constituents. THE FIRST CABLE CAR. It Was Built Fifty Venn Ago and la Still In Operation Detwean Two New Jersey Towns. Running from rhilllpsburg, N. J., to Newark, X. J., there is a canal that is In many respects the most remarkable In existence. It is 60 miles long, and was in operation in New Jersey before a railroad existed in the state. It runs Jn many cases aide by side with the Lackawanna railroad, and furnishes the most striking example of the dif ference between the old-time and mod ern methods of freight transportation that can be seen. Its most remarkable feature Is that in place of th lock system in use on " "! r.tm jV ft Make Those It Attacks "See Red' and Drive Them Inta Via- ' lent Insanity. J Much attention has been called to the number of men in the army serving Hn the Philippines who have gone in sane, says a New York paper. The gov ernment has sent a special commission nut there to invest Igate the matter, and there hoa been talk of a mysterious dis rase called the "Sudanese fever." , It is believed by some that this dis ease la peculiar to East Indian and Af rican tropica; that it was this which caused Dr. refers to get Into trouble for killing Africans, and made the as-T siv'? . FIRST CABIJB CAR. (It Is BUM In Operation Between Two New Jersey Towns.) canals the boats are drawn up and down elevations on great cars with high sides and open ends on a track 18 feet wide. These are the original cable cars. The prlnicple by which they are operated, the endless cable, 1 exactly the same as that which was utilized for operating cuble cars in cities. This method of transportation has been in use on the Morris canal for half a century, and antedates the intro duction of cable cars by at least 35 years. The illustration was taken on the canal from Boonton to Montvllle, N. J., where the unusual features of the canal are most in evidence. An Interesting feature in eonnection with the Morris canal la that this U likely to be the last year of its opera tion, as an effort will be made ut the next session of the New Jersey legis lature to secnr it as a means of fur nishing Jersey City with additional wa ter supply.

A remedy for nasal catarrh which is dry- nil and exciting to the diseased membrane should not be used. What is needed is that which is cleansing, soothing, protecting and healing.

The Balm when placed into the nostrils, spreads over the membrane and is absorbed. A cold in the head vanishes quickly. The man who falls into a fortune never complains when he strikes the hard cash. In Heart Disease it Works Like Magic. "For years my greatest enemy was organic heart disease. I torn uneasiness and palpitation it developed into abnormal action, thumping, fluttering and choking sen sations. Dr. Agnew's Cure for ihe Heart gave inttant relief, and the bad symptoms have entirely disappeared. It is a wonder worker, for my case was chronic. Rev. L. S. Dana, Pittsburg, Pa. 46 Sold l y A. Menu. MALAY RUNNING AMUCK. (Terrible Effects of the Disease Known as Sudanese Fever.) French officers In the interior of Af rica recently 'slay other officers sent to their relief, is one theory. Everybody has heard of the Malay who runs amuck and, frenzied, kills right and left until he himself is killed. The word "amuck" is a corruption of the Java nese word "amoak," to kill. There seems to be no doubt that the Malay occasionally goes crazy through nn overindulgence in opium or hasheesh, and, springing from his "shack," runs naked through the streets of his Il lume, killing all whom he may meet. When In a Malay village the cry "amuck" is raised, It Is like the cry of "mod dog!" In an American village, and the populace turn out with long bam boo spears to kill the man as soon as they cnn. But the "Sudanese fever," If it exists, is another thing apparently. It may be that the disease which has afflicted white men in the Philippines and in equatorial Africa is only a vari ation of apoplexy, brought on by in dulgence in heating and stimulating foods. The London Lancet recently had something about the alleged disease. People who had been afflicted with It and had recovered said that they had a sudden sensation of n desire to kill, and that they "saw red." A sudden af flux of blood to the head and the burst ing of a blood vessel would produce in sanity or coma. In northern climes it more usually results in ooma; in the tropics it seems to result in insanity. All the soldiers of our army in the Philippines who hnvc been sent back as Insane have been violent. As a mat ter of fact, only 57 men who served in the Philippines went crazy and were brought back to the United States. Of these II recovered nnd were discharged. This "seeing red" seems to be a pe culiarity of he Asiatic when he is ex cited violently. The Sikhs and the Gourkhas, the best fighters In the na tive Indian army, describe their feeling when in the charge in the frenzy of battle as "seeing red." It la probably due to an afflux of blood to the head, which congests the small veins of the eyeball. "Cleanliness is next to godliness." Dirt and depravity co hand in hand. This is just as true of the inside of the body as the outside. Lonstipation clogs tne hoiy ana clouds the mind.
