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. This victory alone is

The Democratic borough ticket in
the Fifth ward receives but two ma

Council is declared elected under
protest on the part of the Citizens
by a majority of live. 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.
Tho success of Lee is unother rebuke
to the mud-slingers, us he was one of
those selected as a target for their
batteries.
The result is entirely satisfactory to
the Citizens party, and in their honor
we turn our roosters loose, and their

Loudon, Feb. 22. 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 house was highly
amused at tho ineident, and the amend
ment was negatived without division.

THE MILGS INQUIRY.
AI1U5" Officer Declare tlio Cnnncd
Itoust lleefTullt For Food.
Washington, Feb. 22. 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.

soning of Mrs. Kate J. 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,

ed atid Inclined to answer all questions
frankly. She said that Molinen.v had In

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

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.

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.
The Kidney Complexion.
The pale, sallow, snnkon-cheoked, distressed-looking
people you so often meet are
atUlcted with "Kidney Complexion."
Their kidnoys are turning to a parsnip
color. So is their complexion.
They may also have indigestion, or suffer
from sleeple-siieM, rheumatism, neuralgia,
brain trouble, nervous exhaustion and some
times the heart acts badly.
Tho cause U weak, unhealthy kiuueys.
Usually the sufferer from kidney dlwnso
does not find out what tho trouble is until It
is almost too late, because tho first symptoms
are so like mild sickness that they do not
think they need a modleino or a doctor until
they find themselves sick in bed.
I)r, Kilmer's Swamp-Itoot will build up
and strengthen their weak and diseased
kidneys, purify their diseased, kidney

IIKA1IT DISEASE,

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.
This cm be douo by tho regular uso after
meals of some safe, pleasant and eflectlvo
digestive preparation, like Stuart's Dyspep
sia Tablets, which may bo found at most
drug stores aud which contain valuable,
harmless digcstlvo elements lu a pleasant,
convenient lorm.
It is safe to say that tho regular persistent
uso of Quart's Dyspepsia Tajilcts at meal
tlmo will euro auy form of stomach troublo

FRANKLIN'S TOLERANCE.
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.

I wns up nt tho market houso night be

first, but after a bit tho goose looks upand
says, "Qiiawk, quawk, quawk," again.

IN SENAtfl AND HOUSE,
fconfttor Cookroll Declare the Mull
Army Hill Cannot Pass
Washington, Feb. 22. Formal discus
sion of the llull-llnwley nrmy reorgan
ization bill was begun In the sennlo yes
terday nfternoon. Mr. Ilnwley nnd Mr,
Warren, Republicans, supported tho
measure nnd Mr. Mitchell mid Mr. Cook
Veil, Democrats, opposed It. while Mr.
Proctor, Republican, addressed the sen
ate lu favor of some amendment whloh
he hud proposed In the bill. 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.

Washington Feb. 22. Without auy
purpose to start a ilood of recrimination,
the American members of the joint liig.i
Canadian commission feel that they have
not been to blame for the failure to reach
an agreement, but that they are justified
in the statement that they hnve mado
concession nftcr concession. It is just
possible that better results mny nttend
a further conference of the joint body
next Bummer, but while the ollleinls here
regret exceedingly the failure so far
to rench an agreement, it is said posi
tlvely thnt the American side has made
its last concession.

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.

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
