Gkn. Milks has shown the right spirit in frankly stating that he had no intention of imputing corruption to the War Department. On the main point, however, the quality and condition of the army beef supply, the Commanding General sticks to his severe arraignment of contractors, and calls to his support a cloud of witnesses, who will testify in detail, if so required, as to what the soldiers were called upon to endure. The Court of Inquiry has but one path way to follow, viz., get at the truth and all the truth. The people want all the facts, and they will be content with nothing less. The men who wear the uniform of the United States army are entitled to a fair hearing, and no pressure of outside interests, however powerful, should prevent this. The Victory is Complete. The result of the battle of the bal lots yesterday was a grand victory for the Citizens ticket, and a rebuke to Democratic mismanagement of bor ough alfairs during the past year, The people demand reform along cer tain lines, and if It Is not forthcoming during the year there will be a greater uprising next February than that of yesterday. The coming administra tion will have many important prob lems to deal with, and those in au thority will be looked to for a faithful performance of their duties. The Deinoerats massed their forces in the Second ward, and money was used freely to defeat the Republican nominees. Councilman Doehm was selected as the target by the mud- slingers, his personal eharaoter was .attaoked in an unscrupulous manner, but his friends rallied to his support .and returned him to Council. The people of that ward have no use for liush-wackers, and latter feel their rebuke keenly. Their energy was worthy a better cause. The greatest victory of the day, however, was recorded in thy strong Democratic district of the Fourth ward- The Citizens party carried everything before them. The only consolation the Democracy has is In the election of the School Director. Even Ins majority wag cut down from 158 last year to 30 this year -just one hundred less.

The "old war horse," John T.Lee, returns to the School Board as a Citizens, repre sentative by the handsome majority of twenty-four. This is a change of 101 votes over the returnsof last year.

It was a grand victory for the people, and with them the Herald oilers its condolence to the defeated. An Important Question.

By a vote of 200 against 129 the house of' commons re jected the motion to remove the bishops from the house of lords on tho ground that their presence there is incompatible with their religious duties. The debate was notuble for a remnrkable proposal by Lord Salisbury's son, Lord Hugh Cecil, Conservative member of parlia ment lor (jrccnwicli, who, in a quaintly amusing sieecli, moved on amendment suggesting that, instead of removing the bishops, it would be preferable to create the great non-conformist preachers life peers, and so make the house of lords more representative of the lucated elnssrs. Arthur J. Balfour, the gov ernment leader, described Lord Cecil's proposal as "emharrussiug and uncon ventional," and urged him to withdraw the amendment.

The court of inquiry engaged in investigating the beef charges preferred by General Miles continued yesterday the hearing of tes timony bearing upon tho controversy. A number of army oIHoi-im who participated in the Santiago campaign were heard. Practically without exception the olli cers condemned the canueil roast beef furnished as a travel rution, and review ed complaints about it which the men very generally made, declaring it un palatable and wanting in nutriment. On the other hnud, the refrigerated beef suf fered but little at the hands of the wit nesses, it being generally conceded that It was good when delivered from the transports and when it escaped the de composing effect of the tropical sun en route to the several commands it was found to be satisfactory. There wan very little in the evidence pointing to any use of chemicals upon this beef. The contention of General Miles that the army in Cuba and l'orto lllco should have been supplied with herds of cattle, or beef on the hoof, instead of refriger ated beef, was supported by every wit ness who gave his opinion upon this quesliou. A feature of the examination was the general assertion of witnesses that they would not have felt it their duty to the men or the army organization to have made any special report upon the beef had it not been for the special or ders calling for such reports. A number of olllcers testified to the belief that a very small proportion of sickness In Cuba was due to the beef or unwholesome ra tions, but rather to the climate. Among the olllcers to appear before the investi gators are General Joe Wheeler and Governor Boosevelt. A Common Sanger.

Adams, and their testlnumv. though very interesting, threw no light upon the mystery surrounding the ruse. Jit?. Mollneux's appearance, accompanied by her husband nntl Ida mother, created much excitement, nnd the court room was quickly crowded to Its capacity. While Mrs. Mollnc-iix was giving her testimony Mr. Mollneux's mother sat beside her. The witness, though very pale, appeared elf possess ed atid Inclined to answer all questions frankly. She said that Molinen.v had In troduced her to Harnet, who had nevei been a rival of her husband. Ilaniet had sent llowers and other gifts to her. She emphatically denied that she had evet been photographed with Ilarnet. She hud. at (lie suggestion1 of her husband, sent flowers and a letter to Harnet while the latter was ill. She denied thnt she had 'ever been ou a yachting trip with Burnet, but admitted that she had vis ited tlio rooms of ilarnet and Mollnotix, where wine was drunk. Khe told how she met Mollneux. and said thnt she had declined his tlrst offer of mnrringe. Knrly in the day Mrs. Florence Rog ers, dauglite? of Mrs. Adams, was cross examined at length. She bore the ordeal well, although tnauy searching ques tions were asked her. She acknowledged having had.a private letter box for sev eral years, because she did not want her husband to know of her business af fairs. She was legally separated from her husband nt her own desire, satisfied that she had good cause. Dr. Wendell C.

Mtehf XntsT If you want your luncheon or dinner to have an oriental flavor, you will servo a course of lltchl nuts. Tho nuts are, to begin with, hard to obtain; they nro, sec ondly, not glvon away for the nsklng, and ihey are, thirdly, a novelty of novelties to tho a erage diner out. They come from China, nnd in tnsto, odor and appoaranco thoy havo all tho oricntnllsni of most such products. A slnglo lltchl nut will for days dlspenso Its subtle, penetrating fra granco, scenting everything that comes in contact with it. Tho nut is about the size and shape of tho ordinary walnut, Its shell looking much llko that of tho butternut as regards color and corrugation. No cracker Is needed to open tho nuts. Press tho shell over so slightly between the finger tips and It crushes llko an egg shell. Inbide Is a kernel that looks like an oversized ralsln. It tastes something like n ralsln, too, only It Is much more concentrated. Transform tho very sweet and very pervasive odor of sandalwood into taste, and you have tho flavor of lltchl nuts. Within tho ralsinllke kernel is a seed like that of tho date. Lltchl nuts are delicious, but no hostess need ever fear that her guests will devour them to the exclusion of all other viands. The nut is too concentrated for that. Two ore about as many as tho ordinary palate can dispose of. In addi tion to their other merits lltchl nuts uro, therefore, an economy. Now York Sun.

IIKA1IT DISEASE, SOME PACTS REGAMDING HIE RAPIb INCREASE OP HEART TROUBLES. Do Hot Be Alarmed, But Look For The Cause. Heart troubles, at toast among the .' tnrri cans, uro ccrtiiuly increasing and while this may bo largely duo to tho excitement and worry of American business life, it Is moro often tho result of weak stomachs, of poor digestion. Ileal organlo disease Is incurable j but not ono casein a hundred of liuart trouble is or gan io. Tlio close relation between heart trouble and poor digestion is because botli organs are controlled by the satno great nerves, the Sympathetic and Pueuinogastrlc. In another way, also the heart is affected by the. form of poor digestion, which causes gas and fermentation from half digested food ; There is a feeling of oppression nnd heavluoss in tlio chest caused by prcssuro of tho distended stomach on the heart and lungs, interfering with their action : henco arises palpitation and short breath. Poor digestion nlto poisons the blood, making it thin aud watery, which Irrltatos anil weakens the hoart. Tho most sensible treatment for heart trou ble is to improvo tho digestion and to insure tho prompt assimilation of food.

The PhlloMniilier Always Rendy to Servo II tu Sectarian Friend. Ono usually thinks of Franklin as any thing but a religious man, and religious In tho orthodox, conventional sense he cer tainly was not. Yet he was a believer In God and immortality nnd the effloacy of good works. His close personal friends were, many of them, devout Christians. In the chapter on "Franklin's Religion" in his "Many Sided Franklin" series in Tlio Century Mr. Paul L. Ford says: Franklin had that rarest kind of toler anco which tolerates tho opinions of others, nnd though he laughingly asserted that "Orthodoxy is my doxy and hotorodoxy Is your doxy" his whole life was one con tradiction of tho epigram, for the faith or lack of faith of his clrclo of friends ranged from tho most doctrinnl of ministers to the most radical of free thinkers. For such rigid Puritans as tho Rev, Drs, Cooper and Mather of Boston, for tlio enthusiast Whiteileld, for tho Anglican bishop of St. Asaph and for tho Abbes do La Hoche and Morellet ho showed as much affection and respect as ho did for Hume, Lord Le Despenser, Thomas Paine and others closer in accord with his own viows. Nor was It ovor a ono sided regard. No man In Pennsylvania exerolsed such influence over the Quakers. Massachusetts mado him her agent; In Great Britain, and he served her faithfully, even to the defend ing of her religious Intolornnoo against English crltlolsm. In Franco tho papal nuncio consulted him frequently and fol lowed his advlco In tho changes tho Revo lutionary war mado posslblo or necessary In tho Catholic church In Ainorlca. Ab solutely uusootnrlan as ho was, Franklin apparently wns trusted by all sects, and he seems nover to havo refused a service that he could render any ono of them. Uiirenaonnble Clnoie.

All the speakers are members of t!. committee on military atfnlrs. Mr. C ok el.'s spepoh, though brief, wis parliiulnilj notable, as he spoke definitely for the opposition to the nrmy hill. He declared practical ly In so many words that the llull-IIaw ley bill could not become a law nt this session: He nnd thosl- who stood with htm were willing to give the president nil the money nnd every man he desired, but tliey were determined that no great standing nrmy should be fastened upon the country without full nnd free dis cussion. The house reached the last page of the nnval bill yesterday and adjourned with n point of order pending ngnlnst n pro vision fixing the price of armor plate nt $315 per ton. The provision In the bill went out on n point of order on the ground thnt It was not limited to the armor to be purchased with the appro priation In the bill, whereupon it was modified to meet tills objection, nnd ngnirst it the point of order pending an adjournment was ruined. Mitch of the time was occupied in debating the amendment offered by Sir. Mudd lMd.1 appropriating $720,000 to complete the three buildings authorized to be erected nt the N'nval academy at Annapolis. The naval committee, with the exception of Mr. Cummings. strenuously opposed pro ceeding with the work of rehabilitating the Nnvnt academy until comprehensive plans had been decided upon, but the house overruled the committee aud adopt ed the amendment, 75 to 53.

Wnshlngton, Feb. 22. In reaching the decision to recommend a long term of imprisonment in the case of a private in an Alabama regiment who had killed n man lu nn affray, Judge Advocate General Lieber has completed n remark able record, disposing of tho last of the capital cases that had come before Ills department for review, without in any single case imposing the death penalty. Thus the war bus passed without the execution of a single soldier on account of military crimes. This is believed to be without parallel in history. There were crimes committed, but they lacked malice or premeditation, and there were no desertions because of cowardice or treachery. Crippled by Rheumatism. Those who htve Rheumatism find themselves growing steadily worse all the while. One reason of this is that the remedies prescribed by tho doctors contain mercury and potash, which ul timately intensify tho disease by caus ing the Joints to swell and stiffen, groducing a severe aching of ttie bones. . S. S. has been curing Rheumatism for twenty yean even the worst cases which seemed almpst Incurable. Capt. O. B. nughei, the popuUr railroad conductor, of Columbia. S. O.rhad an expert, ence with Rheumatism -which eonvlnced him that thtre la onlv on cure for that painful dis ease, lie says: "I was a great sufferer from mus cular Hheumatlsm for two years. I eould get no permanent relief from any medicine pre scribed by my physician. 1 took about A. dozen hnL. ties of your 8, fi. 8., and SS now 1 am as wen as 1 ever was lnmy life. Iam sure that yonr medicine cured me, and I would recommend It to an v on suffering from any blood disease." Everybody knows that Rheumatism is a diseased state of the blood, and only a. blood remedy is the only proper treatment, but a remedy containing potash and mercury only aggravates the troublo. S.S.S&Blood being Purely Vegetnble, goei direct to tho very cause of the disease and a per manent cure always remits. It Is the only blood remedy guaranteed to con tain no potash, mercury or other dan gerous minerals. Books mailed free by Swift Bpuolflo Oompanjr, Atlanta, Qeorgta.

Washington was said tobe"Criit in war, first in peace and first in the hearts of his countrymen." It isagrentthiiigto be first. Nothing is of more value to mankind and brings great er happiness than n good remedy. Many things will relieve hut the one that will cure is best. Brazil iaii Balm is such a rem edy. Tens-of thousands have found thnt it is the only tiling that would cure Ca tarrh and Asthma. I'or 15 yrs. it has nev er failed innsinglc case to cure Asthma, and its record has been as wonderful ill Catarrh. Cases that had, to all appearan ces, run into Consumption, or where the nostrils were entirely stopped upor where the poisonous pus had eaten holes into the throat an inch deep, or where the stomach had become ulcerated and raw from swallowing the germ-laden matter, were all permanently cured. Such a rec ord, unknown to any other remedy, just ly entitles the Brazilian Balm to the first place in the regard of the American peo ple. There arc 20,000,000 Catarrh victims and countless Asthma sufferers in this country, nil of whom can be cured with Brazilian Balm.
