The United States is something of a
coaling station itself. Last year there
was more coal dug within our bounda

50,000,000 of anthracite were the nation's
product.

The extensive use of bicycles has con
siderably increased the consumption of
leather. Every wheel 'has a saddle, and
each one is covered with leather, tanned
for the purpose from a cowhide. Every
saddle requires at least a foot of leather,
and \t is estimated that more than a
million feet are cut up annually for
bicycles.
Think of it! Somebody is counter
feiting copper cents. At the present
price of tlie raw material there is a
profit of ten cents on every 100 coins
turned out. It is difficult to see how
the skilled labor required for this work
can earn even laborers' wages at this
business —to say nothing of the cost of
distributing the coins and the dead
certainty of soon being put at work in
prison on no wages at all.
Miss Amelia Sommerville, a Gotham
actress, appears to be a peculiarly cir
cumspect and self-restrained young
woman, with more than the usual re
gard for the proprieties of life. As we
understand it, she absolutely refused
to marry again until a full 24 hours had
elapsed after the receipt of the decree
of divorce that she had secured. It is
always well to have all appearance of
haste eliminated from affairs of this
description.
Someone writes to ask at w hat age a
girl is to be considered "an old maid."
The only possible reply is: "Never." To
describe any woman, of whatever age.
as an "old maid" is both inaccurate and
discourteous. Many women, freed from
the cares and troubles of married life,
are delightfully young and fresh at 40
or even 50. Indeed, a truly charming
woman does not depend upon her age at
{ill for her charm. The mere prettiness
of youth is a foolish and evanescent
thing in comparison, ket us have done
with talking about "old maids."
Much has been forcibly said on the
subject of properly prepared food as a
preventive of intemperance. A med
ical authority remarks that unless a
person is decently fed, warmed and
clothed he can hardly get into a right
mind to respond to moral, spiritual or
legal suasion. The "submerged classes,'
it is urged, will be less strongly tempted
when their bodies and nerves are prop
erly nourished, and some element ol
pood cheer brought into their lives.
While the idea is not new, it is one that
cannot be dismissed in practical tem

POLICY OF THE PRESIDENT.
\t»Mo!ute J aft 11 flea lion of tlic Conrie
I'uraucd by tlie C'blef
Kxecall ve,
Tbe president is vindicated. From
amid u storm <»f calumny and hmirit]
scarcely paralleled in American history
he rises by inherent merit into the se
rene realm of established and eternal
right. Never was a policy more vio
lently and viciously assailed than his.
Never was one more absolutely justi
fied, in general and in detail, by the
incontrovertible logic of events. The
voice of denunciation, yesterday so
str.idnlous, to-day is dumb. Opponents
h-ave become supporters. And the ma
jority of congress, atul the great mass
of the American people, who have ail
along trusted the president and be
lieved in his poliiey, rejoice in the
amplest possible confirmation of their
confidence.
For what is of supremest imipontance
tothe nation to-day is this, that, no mat
ter which way the scale may incline—
toward peace, as is still hoped, or to
ward war, as some men fear —the atti
tude of the United States is justified in
the minds of its own people and in
the eyes of the impartial world. A
month ngo that could not have been
said. It was true then, as now, that
this country was in the right. Burt the
fact had not been minde evident to the
world, nor even proved to the fuLl satis
faction of all our own people. There
was ignorance of <the real state of af
fairs in Cuba. There was doubt as to
the right of this country to intervene.
There was still a lingering notion that
autonomy might prove to be the
panacea >for all Antfllean ills. Above
all,there was the fecTingthat diplomacy
had not yet done itvs best., tJiait- noti all
peaceful means of settlement had been
employed, and that therefore anything
looking to the lastdraul uliternau.i «.r
war would be premature and unjusti
fiable. Any overt act, or ultimatum, or
decree of intervention, by this govern
ment would have placed the I niited
States on the defensive, fin the court
of the nations, nnd would have nssured
to Spain a certain amount of sympathy.
But by the tact and patience of Presi
dent *Me Kin ley all that has been
changed. The cup of Spanish obsti
nacy against the right is filled. Th*
measure of American forbearance and
conciliation 'is complete. Tf war comes
now. it w ill be through the perversity
of Spain, and Spain will be, from the
outset, put on *the moral defensive be
fore the world. The material prepara
tion of this country is vastly more com
plete. than it was. The moral advan
tage of this country over Spain is sim
ply overwhelming.
That is the inestimable debt the na-
t T on owes to-day to William MeK.inley.
Not only he is vindicated. He has vin
dicated the nation, lie has made the
whole world see thiat Spain is in the
wrong and that- we are iji the righit,
and are acting well within both moral
and legal right in making the call that
has been made upon Spain, for a settle
ment in Cuba. Whatever m;i}- come,
whether peace or war, the honor of this
nation is secure. It will be peace with
honor or righteous war crowned with
victory and honor. The choice rests
with Spain. The result to this nation
is assured. —X. Y. Tribune.
AT THE ELECTIONS.
Itepul>llcun» Achieve Decisive Vle
torlea In Democratic
Strontium*.
Municipal elections have just been
held in many cities and towns in Wis
consin, Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Ne
braska, Arkansas, Colorado, Minnesota,
Ohio, Washing-ton, New Mexico and
Oklahoma, and state officers und a legis
lature were elected in Rhode Island.
As is usual with such contests in "off
years," the various city elections failed
to show that public sentiment is swing
ing in a decisive way to either of the
two principal parties. • The democrats
won the day in Chicago, which is often
the case in minor elections there, while
in Kansas City the republicans achieved
a decisive victory. The one official
elected in Cincinnati was a democrat,
because of reasons well known. ihe
republicans made decided gains in Ne
braska; a demo-populistic combination
gained a victory in Milwaukee; tne
democrats won, as usual, in kittle Rock,
and the republicans had the best of the
battles in Oklahoma, New Mexico and
Washington.
In Rhode Island, which was carried
by the democrats in 1880, 1800, 1801 and
1503, the republicans gained a decisive
triumph, electing their ticket and a de
cided majority of the legislative can
didates, thereby insuring a republican
senator as successor to Mr. Aldrieh,
whose term expires next March. When
ever the drift is toward democracy
lihode Island either goes democratic
or gives a very small republican plu
rality, but the republican majority in
that state was one of the largest which
the party has ever obtained.
For the past two months the country
has been so absorbed by the kaleido
scopic changes in the Ili.spano-Cuban-
American situation that the people
have given but scant attention to poli
tics or political conditions. But the
approach of the important congression
al campaign of next fall will cause a
closer watch to be given to domestic
conditions henceforward, no matter
what happens abroad, and the politi
cian, who is ever with us, will soon Vie
claiming and receiving n far greater
degree of attention than has of late
been allotted to him.—Cincinnati Com

STILL FOR FREE SILVER.
Ilrynnltcf* Strive to Kpr|» In the
Hack k roim <1 All Other Natioii
nl Question*.
A "league" composed of free silver
ites in tin! Ohio Valley states had a
meeting at Indianapolis the other tiny.
It (-sol uit ions were adopted declaring
that:
"We regard the financial question as the
paramount political issue of the day, and
hereby pledge ourselves to continue tlie
battle for bimetallism until the free and
unlimited coinage of both silver and gold
at the present legal ratio of sixteen to one
with full legal. tender quality is secured,
without waiting for the consent or cooper
ation of any other nation."
It is evident thiat the free silve.rites of
Indiana and adjoining states are eager
to borrow other people's property and
then have the laws changed so that they
cannot he obliged to return more than
two-fifths of what they have borrowed,
and remain, the happy possessors of
three-fifths of the borrowed property.
It is true that this yearning to get
hold of and keep the property of others
is not set forth in the resolution adopted
at. Indli'tnnpolis. That vital principle
of the free silver agitation is mentioned
in no resolutions. It is discussed hy no
free coinage leader or speaker.
The free silverites -are as guarded in
their speech as are a gang of counter
feiters or of burglars. When the mem
bers of such a gangare makingtlie final
arrangements for putting counterfeit
notes in circulation or (robbing a Ixink
they speak of"going to work," or of
being "all ready for business." They
never, even among themselves, use the
ugly words which fitly describe their
trades.
So the Tlryanites never inta mate that
the object of coining silver free at the
ratio of sixteen to one and making the
cheap silver dollars which would be
coined a legal tender retroactively in
(lie based pn
the gold standard is to enable men who
have borrowed gold standard money
for real estate or personal property to
pay their creditors in 40-eent in
stead of 100-cent dollars.
That is all there is to free silverism.
Tt. has a varnish of professions of love
for "humanity" and for "labor." With
in it is a festering mass of cowardly
and concealed dishonesty.
Rrvan was 'at the convention nnd was
the star actor. That individual is dis
turbed in mind over the Cuban question,
which inevitably thrusts him nnd his
free silver specialty on one side. Of
course lie has to declare himself in
vor of the independence of Cuba and
wear a "free Cuba" badge, but- he dis
likes exceedingly This new question
which he cannot utilize for presidential
purposes.
Therefore he asserted in his speech
that "the war has beenia factor in our
election's, but it shall be no longer,
and the welfare of our country shall
be the factor." Tn other words. "Gen
tlemen, do not lett us allow this Cuban
question to take possession of the pub
lic mind if we can avoid it. The policy
which aims nt the violation of contracts
and the spoliation of creditors must
not bo forced into the background by
new issues." —Chicago Tribune.

Washington, April 21.—Wednesday
was a day of great events in the hi.s
tory of the Culian question. The
nature by the president of th.e joint
resolution requiring' intervention in
Cuba; the notification of that action to
the Spanish minister here; his demand
for passports; the department's prompt
reply to that demand; the departure of
tin; Spanish minister and the transmis
sion of our ultimatum that Spain must
evacuate Cuba and must make answer
by Saturday through Minister Wood
ford followed in rapid succession. The
next step is Spain's answer, if she is to
make any. and the movement of the
United States army and navy on Cuba.
Karly in the morning the execution
of the programme for the day began
with a conference between Assistant,
Secretary Day, ex-Secretary Foster
and Second Assistant Secretary Adee
in which the wishes of the president
and cabinet as to the ultimatum were
reduced to diplomatic form. The other
events succeeded each other with
rapidity. The ultimatum was sent to
the Spanish minister by Judge Day's
personal messenger, Edward Savoy.
The messenger was not kept waiting
long at the legation, but in the course
of an hour had returned to the state
department with the minister's appli
cation for his passports. It was not
until ii::iO p. m. that Savoy made his
second trip, carrying with him the de
sired paper. This was a passport for
It was not in the usual form, liut'Vs
what is known as a special passport.
In general terms it is similar to that
presented to Lord Sackville West when
that minister was obliged to retire.
At first there was some expectation
at the state department that a response
from Minister Woodford might be ex
pected yesterday. Later on, however,
after Judge Day had calculated the
length of time that would be consumed
in the cabling of the ultimatum to Min
ister Woodford, its translation into ci
pher and retranslation, he became con
vinced that it would be practically im
possible to receive any response Wed
nesday. Therefore the following state
ment was posted at the department:
"The text of the ultimatum to Spain
will be given out by Mr. Porter, secre
tary to the president, at the White
House some time to-morrow, probably."
The next move must now be made
by Spain, according to the department
officials. If the Spanish government
takes a view that the congressional
resolution is insulting, it may promptly
hand Mr. Woodford his passports upon
receipt of this communication and thus
bring the negotiations to a crisis and
cause a breach of diplomatic relations
within the next "24 hours.
If, on the other hand, it should neg
lect to return a satisfactory answer be
fore Saturday noon, that line of policy
will be quite as effective as a positive
act, inasmuch as it would amount to
refusal of the demands of the United
States. In such case the president
would proceed immediately to use the
naval and military forces of the United
States to execute the will of congress.
How this will be done, what steps shall
first be taken, whether Havana shall
be blockaded or whether an attempt
shall be made to make a speedy cam
paign by hurling a large force of troops
to Havana under cover of a bombard
ment by a fleet, are all matters of mere
speculation.
An outline of the policy to be fol
lowed by this government in the treat
ment of neutrals and the matter of
privateering is contained in the follow
ing official statement: "In the event
of hostilities between the United States
and Spain, it will be the policy of this
government not to resort to privateer
ing. The government will adhere to
tthe following rules: First, neutral
llag covers the enemy's goods with the
exception of contraband of war; second,
neutral goods not contraband of war
are not liable to confiscation under
enemy's flag: third, blockades in order
to be binding must be effective."
This doctrine places the United
States in a most advanced position so
far as the protection of individual
property and neutral goods at sea is
concerned. Hy it Spanish goods are
made free from seizure on the seas in
the bottoms of a neutral power.
Word came to the navy department
that the Spanish cruisers Pelayo, Viz-
caya anil Oquendo sire all at Cape
Verde islands, in company with the
torpedo boat flotilla. This constitutes
a most formidable naval force, in the
opinion of experts equal to our flying
squadron now lying in Hampton Roads.
Exit liernalie.
Washington, April 21.—The Spanish
minister, accompanied by six members
of his staff, left Washington at 7:30 last

thus terminated its diplomatic repre
sentation in the United States. The
minister and his party left by the
Pennsylvania road, going northward
to Buffalo and thence to Toronto. To
day the Spanish officials will be on

days in Toronto. From thence they

Strewed Their Path with Flowers.
San Francisco, April 21. —The First
regiment, U. S. infantry, comprising
500 men, left here yesterday for New
Orleans. The departure of the soldiers
resulted in a popular demonstration
such as has never been equaled here.
At least 200,000 people assembled along
the line of march from the Presidio to
the ferry and there was a continuous
roar of cheering as the soldiers
inarched along. Thousands of school
I children, who had been granted a half
I holiday, sang patriotic songs and
i waved flags, while otlirrs strewed the
path of the departing warriors with
' flowers.

Th?re was a hie. coarse-voiced fellow, with
red face, a superfluity of beef about his head
and an insatiable desire to hear himself talk
that was nicely come up with in a barber
shop the other day. He was flashily dressed
and seemed aggrieved that every man em
ployed in the place did not rush to heip him
get ready for the chair. He had assistance
in having himself brought down to the condi
tion for being shaved, declining to handle
snything from his hat to hiacollir and neck
tie.
While being lathered and shaved he told
boisterously and profanely about the de
generacy of the times. Men who had to earn
their living didn't know their places and
acted as though thev were just as good as
those who hired them. The greatest mis
take this country had ever made was when
it did away with slavery instead of extend
ing it to every state and territory in the
union.
After he had insisted upon half a dozen
additions and extra touches from the knight
of the strop the big man stepped from the
chair and produced a fat pocketbook, while
still holding forth in his offensive vein.
"Nevah mine dat," said the proprietor,
who had known life on the plantation in the
old days. "We don' make no cha'ge fo'

The bully was about to break loose like an
unheralded cyclone of destruction, but he
saw half a dozen barbers about him. each one
whetting a razor on the palm of his hand
and looking solemn.
"How do you make money at that price?"
he asked with a sickly grin.

years doctors pronounced it, a local disease,

pronounced it incurable. Science lias proven
catarrh to be a constitutional disease, and

Read what Mas. B. A. LOMBARD, Box 71, Westdale, Mass., says:
"I have reason tothinktliatl would not behere nowif it had not been for Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. It cured me of a fibroid tumor in my womb.
Doctors could do nothing forme, and they could not cure me at the hospital. I
will tell you about it.l had been in my usual health, but had worked quite
hard. When my monthly period came on I flowed very badly. The doctor gav«
me medicine, but it did me no gooC He said the flow must be stopped if possible,
and he must find the cause of mj trouble. Upon examination he found there
was a fibroid tumor in my womb, and gave me treatment without any benefit
whatever. About that time a lady called on me and recommended Lydia Pi
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound; said she owed her life to it. I said I would
try it, and did. Soon after the flow became more natural and regular. I still

Spring is the Time
When Impurities in the Blood
Should Be Expelled
America'a Croatost Medicine Is the
Boat Spring Medicine.
Tn winter months tho perspiration, BO
profuse in summer, almost ceases. This
j throws back into the system the impurities
I that should iiave been expelled through
the pores of the skin. This and other,
causes makes the blood impure in spring.
Boils, pimples, humors and eruptions then
appear or some more serious disease may
take its start. Hood's Sarsaparilla is the
remedy for impure blood in all its forms,
as proved by its marvelous cures of blood
diseases. It is therefore the medicine for
you to take in tho spring. It ex pells all
humors, and puts the whole system in good
condition for warmer weather.

Supreme Com/I SuMtiiiiiH tlie Foot"
KuHe Trade-mark.
Justice Laughlin, in Supreme Court, Buf
falo, has just ordered a permanent injunc
tion, with costs, and a full accounting of
>ales, to issue against Paul B. Hudson, the
manufacturer of the foot powder called "Dr.
Clark's Foot Powder," and also against a re
tail dealer of Brooklyn, restraining them
from making or selling the Dr. Clark's Foot
Powder, which is declared, in the decision
of the Court, an imitation and infringement
of "Foot-Ease," the powder to shake into
your shoes, now so largely advertised and
sold all over the country. Allen S. Olmsted,
>)f Le Hoy, N. Y., is the owner of the trade
mark "Foot-Ease," and he is the first indi
vidual who ever advertised a foot powder
extensively over the country. He will send a
sample Free, to anyone who writes him for
it. The decision in this ease upholds his
trade mark and renders all parties liable
who fraudulently attempt to profit by the
extensive "Foot-Ease" advertising, in plac
ing upon the market a spurious and similar
appearing preparation, labeled and put up
in envelopes and boxes like Foot-Ease. Sim
ilar suits will be hrought against others who
are now infringing on the Foot-Ease trade
murk and common law rights.
