Tub "son of his father" is certainly having his troubles in New York. Dkmociiatic issues are multiplying these days and so are the Jefferson Ian dinners. A Lebanon editor has been charged with arson. That the risk all who write red-hot stuff run, comments the North American. The Mazot investigating committee in New York bids fair to rival the in tense interest In the affairs of that city which tile Lesow investigation of a few years ago aroused. California's new law requiring newspaper communications to be signed by the writer is a good thing. At last "Old Subscriber" is to be un masked, and "Pro Bono Publico" made to disclose his real name. The Buffalo newspapers do not ap pear to be very proud of Uncle Sam's cruiser named after that city. One of them rises to remark that the cruiser Buffalo is making a fine record for herself as a ferryboat be tween New York and Manila, if noth ing more. "War has been declared against Col. Guffey, the Democratic boss in this state. The gentleman who is after his scalp is Chairman Howley, of Allegheny county, who has higher aspirations. In an interview the latter saya he has sufficient votes now pledged to succeed State Chairman Garman. The opinion prevails very gener ally at Washington that the Presi dent will before long find it necessary to avail himself of the discretionary power conferred upon him by the new army uui, ana can ror at least a portion of the 35,000 volunteers he has authority to enlist for a period of two years. Wk desire to say to a correspondent signing himself "Justice" that the subject upon which lie writes is a matter for court inquiry and not newspaper controversy ; besides, his language would not look well in print. The Herald is a family news paper and does uot admit such "literature" in its columns. The political opponents of Senator Quay should now be satisfied. They claim to have prohibited his re-elec tion to the Senate, and not satisfied with that have him arraigned in court for conspiracy. - The "old man" isn't saying much, but 'he has evidently been doing some mighty tall thinking these past six months. When he goes at his defamers, there will likely be trouble in the Keystone state for somebody. Keep your ear to the ground t Young Carter Harrison, whom Dick Croker and his Tammany out fit are grooming for a place on the Democratic Presidential ticket knocked out, in great shape, both the Republican machine and the Bryan apostle in the person of the famous former Governor, John Peter Altgeld. The latter's canvass was so near to the cause of Bryanlsm that the Chairman of the Democratic National Committee gave it the com mittee's endorsement, and yet Dick Crocker's friend beat him over two to one. Altgeld is now considered feather-weight, even by the Bryan ites. Mr. Bryan, in his candidacy for a presidential nomination next year, is again dealing in a choice set of epl grams, something on the line of his famous erown of thorns and cross of t;old. In one of his recent attacks on the expansion policy of the McKlniey Administration he said : "The Re publican party came into existence in an attempt to apply the Declaration of Independence to the black man it seems likely to go out of existence for its refusal to apply the same principles to a brown man only half black." In this instance, Mr. Bryan's epigram is liable to react ; it's a two. edged sword.

O' reason Mrs. Pinkhatn's promptly is that they have confidence in her. Through some of the many thousands of Mrs. Pink. ham's friends an ailing woman Pinkham at her home in Lynn, Mass., and will tell her symptoms. The reply, made without charge of any kind, will bear such evidence of knowledgo of tho trouble that belief in her advloe at once Inspires hope. This of itself Is a great help. Then tho knowledge that women only see the letters asking for advlco and women only assist Mrs. Pinkham In replying makes It easy to be explicit about the little things that define the disease. Mrs. Eliza Thomas, of 634 Pine St., Easton, Pa., writts: Dfar Mrs. Pinkham I doctored with two of the best wiHi mm about four years I was a great sufferer from female troubles. I had backache all of thetime, no appetite, pains in stomach, faint ing spells, was weak and my system was completely run down.

At about midnight the rebels cut th'o telegraph lino at several places between here and Malo los and signal nres were lighted and rockets sent up along the foothills to the right of the railroad. Later the enemy attacked the outposts of the Minnesota regiment between BIgaa nnd Bocave, five miles south of Maio los, killing two mon and wounding 14. Simultaneously the outposts of the Oregon regiment at Marilao, the next station on the way to Manila, wore at tacked, with the result that three Americans wore killed and two wound ed. The loss of the enemy was ten men killed and six wounded. Tha Americans also captured two prisoners. It Is supposed that many of ths rebels who attacked General MacAr thur's line of communication and who were repulsed by the troops command ed by General Wheaton wero natives who entered that region in the guise of frlendlles. They had seemingly se creted arms In several places, and fired on the Americans from the buslio,at so close a cance that, thv treatment helps women so will bo led to write to Mrs. CONFIDENCE HELPS TO CURE I doctors In the city for two years and had no relief until I began the uso of your remedies.

To-day I am a well woman, able to do my own work, and have not a pain. I used four bottles of Lydia E. Pinkham' Vegetable Compound and throo packages of Sana tive Wash and cannot thank you enough for tho good it did me." Mrs. M. Stoddard, Box 268, Springfield, Minn., writes: "Dear Mrs. Pinkham For could be heard talking. One of the Filipinos yelled in English: "We -will give you damned Americans enough of this before we aro through." The rebels undermined the railroad at Marilao and unspiked the rails in nn effort to wreck a train, while the railroad gang participated in the fight. The work of tho rtfbels was dis covered and repaired before the train arrived. General Wheaton Is preparing to punish the Filipinos. Tho military gunboats Napidan and Laguna do Bay captured a small un armed Spanish gunboat and three launches in tho Santa Cruz river. It is now known that 93 Insurgents were killed during the capture of Santa Cruz. Aconclllo Talking Acaln. Paris, April 12.

Knutz Will Bo Supported Unloas II locnl Action Is Shown. Washington, April 12. As it has been strongly intimated In the Berlin dispatches that the German govern ment was about to make a demand for a disavowal of Admiral Kautz's actions it may be stated that our government will certainly not accede to any such request in advance of a full knowlegdo of all the facts in the case and a con viction that tho admiral acted wrongly, the presumption always being that our Officers have acted with due propriety until the contrary is shown to he tho case. If Admiral Kautz found Mataafa, tho self constituted king, with his 13 chiefs, dominating the affairs of the island, involving the suspension of tbe func tions or the supreme court and of the municipal council, formally and duly established by treaty, then It was his duty, according to the state depart ment, to bring the conditions at once Into conformity with the treaty. If this involved the dissolution of tbe provisional government there can be no legal complaint, it Is said. The fact that tbe three consuls at Apia, In a moment of excitement, sanctioned the establishment of the provisional government, though regretted here, is not regarded as affecting tho merits of the American and British contention. 1'olHonod Cnndy nn n flirt.
