IMeanurea of the Past.
A writer in the Washington Tost
nays: "I happened to be in the dining
room cri one of the large hotels the
other day when a certain- senator came
in. Evidently he was waiting for some
body, and as lie waited he stood by
the window, looking out. The snow lay
oiv the window ledge, white and feath
ery and soft, and, seeing it, the sen
ator smiled whimsically. Presently he
turned and spoke to a waiter, and a
moment later a saucer full of snow was
brought to the table at which the great
jnan had iaken a seat- His face still
wore its whimsical smile as he stirred
sugar inito the snow a.nd poured cream
over it, 'lt's 40 years and more,' said
he to me, 'since I ate snow. Snow
cream we used to call it, fixed this way.
Ice cream was something we. didn't
taste twice a year, and we used to
''make believe"' with snow.' Here he
laughed softly to himself. 'Snow
cream!' he said. 'Snow-cream! Mv!
my! It's 4<i years since I've tasted it.
It makes me feel like a boy again. I
think I'll leave an apple out. to-night
to freeze and scrape it to-morrow the
way we. used to do when I was a boy.
Snow-cream! My! my! Forty years!' "
It is gratifying to note that congress
has begun to consider the noncom
batant heroes of the war, and that it has
chosen for its first marks of distinction
three women who justly deserve them:
Clara Barton, Ilelen M. Gould, and the
daughter of the universally popular
general, "Joe" Wheeler. The case of
Miss Gould is exceptional in that she
had had thanks voted her by the muni
cipal assembly of New York and by
both houses of the state legislature.
The bestowal of special gold medals
upon her and Miss Wheeler by order of
congress will be the highest honor that
our governmentis in the habit of award
ing upon anyone. When that übiejui
tous, indefatigable little body, Clara
Barton, pockets the congressional reso
lution of thanks, she becomes the first
lady in the land yn possessing the life
right to a seat on the floor of congress
whenever that body is in session.
Sometimes the grave and stately
Uftited States senate is the scene of
wild merriment. The other day Mr.
Allison, of lowa, was making a speech,
when Mr. Gorman arose and began to
speak, and then Mr. Piatt, all three ad
dressing the chair at one time. Mr.
Allison said: "Mr. President!" in a loud
voice, but was not noticed. Then he
changed his tactics, and declared his
desire to make a parliamentary in
quiry. This, of course, had to be no
ticed. "The gentleman from lowa will
state it," said the vice president. "1
believe I was addressing the senate and
Lad the floor," said Mr. Allison, "but it
teems that I have no longer got it.
If I can't get it in any other way I rise
to a parliamentary inquiry to find out
how 1 lost it." There was a ripple of
laughter in the chamber; Mr. Gorman
and Mr. Piatt apologized, and Mr. Al
lison went on with his speech.
A resident of a New Jersey town with
an interesting family of little ones
lately promised them a "party," but
just as all plans had been perfected for
the event the whooping cough broke
out among them. That caused a post
ponement of the festival. The cough
beeauie almost epidemic. The disap
pointment of the children was so keen
that the mother finally suggested a
"whooping cough party." She called
together a number of the children's lit
tle friends who had the malady and all
had a good time between coughs.
This is how the Chippewa Indians'pe
titon congress: "Oh, men, we come to
you because you are the source of all
power. You have a commission sit
ting among us who take sl3 of our
money, and every evening when night
falls sl3 are dt»ad. Abolish that com
mission and every evening sl3 will be
made alive to us. We do not want to
be short arid left sitting naked on the
sands of the lake shore."
Welington, Kan., built a new jail last
year, and the autliorities deterinined to
name it after the first prisoner who
might be confined in it. This prisoner
proved to be a woman, Mrs. Horton,
and the institution was promptly
named "Horton Jail." Xow it has been
proven that the woman was innocent,

tiun 1» Constantly Im
proving,
That 1898 was a record-breaking year
in the' domestic and foreign trade of
the United States Las been shown so
conclusively that to repeat it now
seems trite and superfluous. What is
of more importance at the present time
is> the fact that conditions are favorable
to a still more remarkable showing in
1899. The New York Herald has done
excellent service to the public in se
curing the views of leading business
men and the grounds on which they
rest their confidence as to the immedi
ate future. It isi authority for the
statement- that the wholesale dealers of
that city, who are in close touch with
all currents of trade, believe that. 1899
will be the most- prosperous business
year the country has ever known. In
interviews these representatives of the
commercial world base their opinions
on these causes: The ratification of
the peace treaty. The return of busi
ness confidence, which set in as soon as
the war with Spain was practically
over. Better times' among farmers be
cause of good crops in 1898.
The merchants interviewed declare
that as results of these causes the fol
lowing effects may be enumerated:
"Farmers and other classes who have
been spending little for several years
again are spending money freely with the
local merchants.
"Merchants who have carried only small
stocks, waiting for affairs to settle down,
are buying heavily and early. They In
tel 1 to restore their stocks to the condi
tion in which they were before the busi
ness depression of IKH3.
"All classes of buyers who have been in
New York recently are ordering a better
quality of goods than formerly."
The trade improvement- notecf is not
confined to special sections, but ex
tends to the entire country. In the
west and south especially, where the
former depression was most severely
felt, there is a marked revival of pros
perity, the orders for goods are more
numerous than ever before, and the
people seem to have plenty of money
and are ready to spend it freely.
Much is anticipated from the expan
sion of American trade at home and
abroad as a natural result of the war
with Spain, the enlargement of Amer
ican territory, the enhancement of the
national prestige and the new political
importance to which the United States
lias attained. In order to reap the full
benefit of the opportunities now before
us, however, there is much work to be
done. William F. King, president-of the
Merchants' association, who is quoted
by the Herald, puts some of these du
tieslclearly and forcibly before the pub
lic when he says:
"We n"ed the freest possible communica
tion from the interior with the ports
whence the products of Interior factories
and farms must be sent to all parts of the
world.
"We need steamship lines under the
American flag, owned by American capital
and governed by American laws.
"We need business agents for this gov
ernment In all the principal cities of the
world who shall know something about
business and the conditions that foster it—
that is to say, we need consuls who are
capable business men.
"These things, we may depend upon it,
the nation will look to, but w«. here in New
York need to look to certain details for
ourselves if we intend to share as we
should in this coming tide of prosperity.
The highways of commerce between this
nation and others r.ow pass through this
city. We have got to keep these highways
open and improve them if we want to keep
the current going through New York.
"We must fight for the very best harbor
facilities, and must break down the re
strictions that now harass the commerce
of this port, the charges of terminal
rings, of dock rings ami of warehouse
rings.
"We must defend our canal system, the
great artery upon which the life of our
commerce depends against the interests
that seek to destroy it.
"We must cultivate friendlier relations
with other cities, must assist the great
manufacturing interests of the interior in
obtaining new outlets and, alxive all, must
defend the great business and financial in
terests of this city against the continual
assaults of ignorant and venal legislation,
which otherwise will make it impossible
for men with money to continue business
in this state.
"No nation was ever so favored by na
tural and political conditions as this. No
city was ever so favored as the natural
center of all these beneficial influences at»
is this city, but we should see to it that we
do not throw away the good gifts that for
tune is showering upon us."
That is a programme to which the
business met o 1 the nation, of the Em
pire state atul of the great, metropolis
may well address themselves. Fol
lowed with the energy, honesty and
ability which are American character
istics, it will make not only 1899, but
every succeeding year phenomenal for
tfce volume of our commerce and the
equitable division of its benefits.—Troy
Times.

Col. Bryan, in his recent address at
Ann Arbor on "Imperialism," said:
"Our forefathers fought for independ
snce under a banner upon which was in
scribed the motto 'Millions for defense,
but not one cent for tribute.' And so those
who to-day not only desire American inde
pendence, but are willing to encourage the
idea of independenceand self-government in
other races, can tight under a banner upon
which is inscribed a similar motto: Mil
lions for defense, but not one cent for con
quest."
This is historically inaccurate as well
as logically lame. Our forefathers who
fought for independence never heard
the expression "Millions for (fefense,
but not one cent for tribute." That ex
pression was first used by Charles
Cotesworth I'inckney during his mis
sion to France in 1790. Ti had no rela
tion to the revolutionary war. As for
the paraphrase "Millions for defense,
but not one cent for conquest," it was
repudiated by Americans at the end of
the Mexican war, when they paid Mex
ico $15,000,000 for territory already
practically conquered. In that ease the
$15,000,000 was a salve to Mexican pride
just as the $20,000,000 is in this case to
Spanish.—lndianapolis Journal.

Among the important events of the
McKinley administration is the almost
complete repayment of the government
debt of the subsidized Pacific railroads,
principal and interest. Such a result
was not considered possible until a few
months ago. The people had concluded
that repayment from the roads in fuhl
was hardly to be hoped for, and con
gress discussed various concessions to
bring about a settlement. Hut.the main
line, consisting of the Union Pacific and
the Central Pacific, the first of the over
land railways, have either paid or ar
ranged to pay every cent of their obli
gations to the government. The sum
received from the Union Pacific is $58,-
448,223, and the adjustment with the
Central Pacific calls for $58,812,715.
Thus the stem road pays in full. The
Kansas Pacific paid the principal of its
government debt, amounting t050,303,-
000. Nothing was lost but the interest
on this fragmentary line. In all, tha
cash repayments of the Pacific rail
roads to the national treasury will foot
up $123,053,039, or enough to meet esti
mates for the construction of the Nica
ragua canal.
Thirty years have passed since the
first, railroad across the continent was
opened for traffic. In 1808 there was
still nearly a thousand miles of stage
coaching in the overland journey, but
in 1809 the long talked of Pacific rail
road was an accomplished fact. Its in
direct. value to the government has
been enormous. Its success multiplied
the number of interoceanic railways.
New states have arisen through their
facilities and added hundreds of mil
lions to the wealth of the people. That
the money advanced by the government
should be returned to it. with almost
full interest, is a gratifying fact, and
a surprise in view* of the belief two
years ago that the roads would not dis
charge more than half their obliga
tions. There would have been a large
shrinkage but for the firm attitude
and intelligent, financiering of the pres
ident and the cabinet. The general
prosperity which came in with'McKin
ley enabled the roads to command the
aid of capital to the extent required by
these transactions. The credit, there
fore, doubly belongs to the present- ad
ministration.—St. Louis Globe-Demo

In two or three trades the wages have
been stationary. There lias been an
advance in all the others, an average of
7\L per cent., approximately.
This is somewhat surprising, a* - , good
times prevailed in the '7os until t'ne
panic of '73. But these trades do not
cover the entire field. Among rolling
mill workers and among tlie cotton
operatives we think a large decline
would be shown, and, possibly, in other
trades, but without regard to these tlia
showing is flattering, as there has been
an impression abroad that labor in the
last 20 years has suffered a great- de
cline. These figures, though they are
limited, do not establish that impres
sion.—Cincinnati Commercial Tribune.

Cincinnati, March B.—The end of the
big flood here is in sight, thanks to the
cold weather prevailing throughout the
Ohio valley. It has cut off from one and
a half to two feet of what would have
been the maximum flood at Cincinnati
had the weather prevailed warm. At
nine o'clock Tuesday night the stage
here was 50 feet and 8 inches, rising
at the rate of one inch and a quarter
hourly. At all points above Marietta
the river is falling. Between Marietta
and Point Pleasant it is rising. From
Point Pleasant to Cincinnati it is fall
ing at intermediate points except at
Manchester, tK) miles above here, where
it is rising slowly. The swell between
Marietta and Point Pleasant is from the
outpour of the Monongahela at Pitts
burgh. Unless the weather changes
that rise never catch the flood at
this point. On the same condition the
river will reach its maximum of about
57% feet.
Huntington, YY. Ya.. reports great
suffering on the Guyan river from peo
ple living in the lowlands who were
driven from their homes. A steamboat
loaded with provisions left Hunting
ton for the relief of those people Tues
day. Central City, a small place above
Huntington, is a great sufferer from
the flood..
At Newport, V.j\. opposite here, one
street cur line has been flooded so as to
stop the running of cars. Fifty fam
ilies have been driven from their homes
and have taken refuge in public builic
ings or with their friends, and should
the riVr rise to S"V» feet 25 more fam
ilies will be driven out of their homes.
No business houses in Newport- have
been affected. Covington is more for
tunate and has escaped almost entirely.
In Cincinnati all business affected by
flooding of cellars has been amply pro
tected from ajiy probable future dan
ger. Dwellings, except the low tene
ments in Rat How and Sausage Kow,
have not been touched. There
tically no interruption to railroad traf
fic of any sort in Cincinnati. Xo trains,
however, can now enter the Grand Cen
tral depot. A few gardens in Mill
Creek valley have been flooded, but
most of them are so much farther up
that stream than formerly as to be
clear out of danger.
Lexington, Ky., March 8. An al
most unprecedented loss follows the
breaking of booms in Kentucky river.
It is estimated that fully $1,000,000
worth of logs have been lost in this
way at Jackson, Beattyville, Valley
View and oth«r points. The Lexing
ton & Eastern railway has been a
heavy loser. Above Clay City its
tracks were submerged in some places
to the depth of five feet, while- iit
some places the tracks were washed
away.
Atlanta, Ga., March B.—The heavy
rain of Saturday and the cold wave

At Monroe the depot was unroofed and
quantities of goods blown away. The

Manila. March 8. —The New York-
Journal correspondent cables: The in
surgent forces at San Juan del Monte,
which numbered thousands, were 011
Tuesday driven from their position,
with great loss. Gen. Hale's brigade,
which has been occupied with holding
the waterworks against the repeated
attacks by the rebels, advanced on San
Juan del Monte at 6:30 o'clock Tuesday
morning. A conference of the regi
mental and brigade commanders was
held at daybreak, and tie attack was
then decided upon. In order that the
entire rebel fcrce might be encom
passed and driven in retreat in a body,
the lines of Gen. Male's brigade swept
forward in the form of a V, with the
open ends toward the I'asig river. The
form of advance inclosed the rebel po
sition completely and permitted a ter
rible concentration of fire. The posi
tions of the American forces were as
follows: On the west, the Wyoming
regiment, on the northwest, the Ne
braska and Twentieth infantry: on the
riverside a gunboat was detailed for
the action to shell the enemy in retreat.
Ilrlllinut Charee.
As soon as the lines were well under
way in the massed advance the Wyo
ming regiment closed in, firing rapidly
and effectively. Suddenly one of the
companies of the regiment sprung
from the line with a cheer, and. with an
officer at its head, dashed toward thi
insurgent trenches. It was companj
C, and the action electrified the Ameri
can lines. The other companies of the
Wyoming regiment leaped to the front
and the entire line swept down apor
the Filipinos. Maintaining their fire
for only a short time after the roaring
charge, the rebels leaped from their
earthworks and fled, closely pressed
Retreat was cut off in all directions
save toward the I'asig river, and as the
insurgents turned that way they were
met by a pitiless shelling by the gun
boat. The infantry lines closed in at
once from the csst. The Nebraska
regiment was led by Col. Stotzenberg,
who carried his men forward with
great speed.
In the woods the rebels were scat
tered into small bands and driven along
the river front. The loss of the insur
gents was very heavy, the accurate fire
of the gunboat creating panic in the
fleeing lines. The only casualty to the
American forces was the wounding of
Private Speach. of the Nebraska regi
ment.
SkirmlMhinK at tli»- Ontpottt*.
There had been considerable skir
mishing along the outpost lines in the
district around San Tolan and San
I'edro. The insurgents to the number
of 250 had dragged two field pieces to an
eminence near San Pedro and had so
set them up as to have a flank fire upon
Gen. Wheaton's position. They were
attacked and their gunners routed.
Cowardly Taction.
Tuesday morning the enemy in front
of lie®. Ovenshine's line sent out a flag
of truce, but retired when Lieut. Kooti
ler, with two men, advanced to meet it.
In the afternoon they again showed a
white flag, and a general, with two of
ficers and an interpreter, advanced.
When the Americans were within about
200 yards c.f the rebel party, the latter
dragged rifles from behind their backs
and opened fire upon them, but for
tunately without effect. Hawthorne's
battery fired two shells, killing several
of the enemy.
The conditions in Negros island are
said to be improving. Commerce is

Kcliclm Are AiciffrcHMi ve.
The rebels are busily preparing their
defenses at various points and are most
aggressive near San Pedro Maeati.
where their sharpshooters maintain
a persistent annoyance. Scott'si bat
tery on the hill top is the center of fire
from both sides, of the river. Gen. llale
withdrew his outposts from the left
bank of the stream and is now occupy
ing bis original position. Further
trouble is probable in the vicinity of
the waterworks when the rebels rally,
but it would be almostian impossibility
for them to interfere with the water
supply, owing to the strength of our
position.

ask how about that bill, or tell you you'll

doesn't sing 'I Won't Go Home 'Till Morn

it. But it never says anything to hurt any

that there was more wind in this life and

GOVERNOR M'CORD
Recommends Pe-ru-na to All Ca
tarrh Victims.
HON. M. H. M'CORD.
Hon. Myron H. McCord, Ex-Governoi
of New Mexico, in a letter to Dr. Hart*
man, from Washington, D. C., says:
Gentlemen —At the suggestion of ■
friend I was advised to use Pe-ru-na io»
catarrh, and after using one bottle I be
gan to feel better in every way. It
helped me in many respects. I was
troubled with colds, coughs, sore
throat, etc., but as soon as I had taken
your medicine I began to improve and
soon got well. I take pleasure in recom
mending your great remedy to all who
are afflicted with catarrh. —M. H. Mc-
Cord.
Thousand* of cases of chronic catarrh
have been cured by Pe-ru-na during the
past winter. In spite of changeable
weather, in spite of the natural set
backs from catching cold, and confine
ment to illy-ventilated rooms, the great
catarrh remedy—Pe-ru-na—has effects
ed these cures. But now spring is here.
The days are longer, the sun is warmer,
and the blizzard is g-one for another
year. This presents a much more favor
able opportunity for the permanent
cure of chronic catarrh, especially old,
stubborn cases. Now is the time to be
gin treatment.. Other things being
equal, one month's treatment in tha
spring is worth two months' treat
ment during the inclement weather oi
winter. Insist upon having Pe-ru-na.
There are no successful substitutes foi
this remedy. Send to Dr. Hartman, Co
lumbus, Ohio, for a free catarrh book.
