SkvkiiaIj Democratic caiulldates are already forming combinations ; ami some of them will be broken. Now that Capt. Couglilln, of the Raleigh, has had his say, and gotten his shore legs on, he will probably withdraw his remarks. Tho captain was indiscreet, to say the leiitt. While Mr. Croker refused to tell how he got some of the wealth for which no one knows him to work, there were others who have divulged some of the ways by which this great leader of the New York Democracy amasses wealth. The Mazet invest! gation is becoming interesting, and before it is ilnlshed the people of that city will have a clearer idea of the power of Boss Croker. On account of the expenses in curred in equipping the new Guard to take the place of the men who went from the old Guard into the volunteer service in the Spanish American war, there will be no en campment this summer. This will be a saving to the state of more than $100,000,and the money will be utilized to eauip the troops and put the Guard in its former excellent condi tion. Of the sins of omission charged against the late departed legislature that of neglecting to reform the ballot laws of the state is among the most glaring. The people of Pennsylvania fully expected that the legislature of 1899 would give the voters an oppor tunity of expressing their honest choice at the polls without being com pelled to longer use the ballot sheet -s at uresent constructed. Ballot re form was one of the first things dis cussed in the recent legislature, and bills looking to that end were among the first introduced, but the political differences between the rival factions were apparently so irreconcilable that all attempts to put any bill on this subject through failed. The Democratic party was committed to ballot reform, but for some reason yet unexplained, the Senator from this district voted against these measures. Arraying Class Against Class. There were some passages in Bryan's speech at the New York ban quet that would be more in keeping with a socialistic harangue than with what, prior to 1890, was called a Dem ocratic speech, comments the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. The govern ment, said Mr. Bryan, can conscript a citizen, "but dare not lay its finger upon the wealth of the rich and make them contribute their share." And again he declared that "the Bepubli can party is putting the dollar above the man in all its legislation." In another passage he continued : "I am glad that the 0,500,000 who voted for me simply wanted me to get other people's hands out of their pockets and not to get their hands into other people's pockets." ibis Is the kind of talk to be ex pected from Herr Most rather than from a man asking to be elected President of a great nation. Bryan denounces the millions who voted against him, constituting a majority of the American people, as persons plotting to rob their fellow-aitizens, The socialists who, in large numbers. were instinctively attraoted to hear Bryan went wild over these expres sions and plainly accepted him as a valuable recruit The government has conscripted no man since the days of tho civil war, and Bryan's reference to that point shows the hollowness of the argu inents to which he resorts. Nor did the Republican party prefer the . dollar to the man in 1890. They nom inated for President imd ejected one whose early advantagi-were no better than Bryan's. MSflKinley was a poor man's son. He enlisted as private and served many months in the rankB. The mouthing and pretentious Bryan, on the other hand, sought for and obtained the command of a regi ment, though without mllltaryexperi ence. When the place became incon venient he resigned, yet the regiment Is still In service. Fortune has a way of handing things to Bryan on a silver platter, and no one bettei illus trates her inequalities. He is working harder than ever to array class against class, and invariably making a good thing out of it for himself. After all he is a demagogue who Is found out and beaten, and his social istic ranting can be discounted accordingly AFTER ANOTHER CAPITAL Dtir Troop Will Try to Onpturo Airni tialdo nt Ciiltltiililt. Waahlngton, April SB. Information received ut tho war depnrtmont Indl cntos that Oenoral Otis is about to execute anothor Important movement. The objective point is tlio insurgent town of ORlnmplt. lying about oight miles northeast of Malolos. It was hero that tho Insurgents concentrated nfter being driven out of tholr capital, sotting up a new capital and making It tho baso of their operations. Aguln nlrto is supposed to bo nt Calumplt. In moving on this stronghold General Otis proposes to conduct two distinct operations. Tho first one, under Ma jor General JlncArthur, 1ms for its pur pose pushing straight forward from Malolos along tlio railroad and strik ing at Calumplt from tho south. Tho second one is under Major Gonoral Lawton, who, with his flying column, is moving far nround to tho north oust, to the largo town of Narzagny, from which point he will turn abruptly west toward Calumplt. This last move will take about ten days, and military strategists look upon It as another ef fort to flank the insurgents by get ting behind them at Calumplt, similar to tho Hank movement which Gonoral MacArthur attempted to oxecuto ai Malabon. This doublo operation makes Calum plt the center for the next few days, while attention will bo divided between MaeArthur's column advancing from Malolos and Lawton's column on Its ten days' march by Norzagay. Mac- Arthur has only a short distance to traverse, so that his forces may bo ongaged with tho main forco of tho insurgents within tho next few hours.

A suit for damages has been instituted by one Washington dry goods firm against another which involves a novel point of General interest. The charge is that the defendant firm "maliciously, unlawfully and unjustly" conspired to persuade one of plaintiff s clerks to leavo his employ and enter that of tho defendant, by reason of which tho plaintiff was compelled to Increase the clerk's salary in order to retain Ms services. The purpose of the suit Is to determine whether one has tho legal rlcht to induce employes of other con cerns to leave the service of tho latter by offers of Increased salary.

It does not require an expert to detect the sufferer from kidney trouble. The hollow cheeks, the sunken eyes, the dark, puffy circles under the eyes, the sallow parsnip colored complexion indicates it. A physician would ask if you had rheuma tism, a dull pain or ache in the back or over the hips, stomach trouble, desire to urinate often, or a burning or scalding in passing it ; if after passing there is an unsatisfied feeling as if it must be at once repeated, or if the urine has o brick dust deposit or strong odor. When these symptoms are present, no time should be lost in removing the cause. Delay may lead to gravel, catarrh of the bladder, inflammation, causing stoppage, and sometimes requiring the drawing of tie urine with instruments, or may run into Bright's Disease, the most dangerous stage of kidney trouble. Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Hoot, the great dis covery of the eminent kidney and blacidei specialist, is a positive remedy for such dis eases.

Washington, April 25. The Wndo court of Inquiry appointed to Investi gate tho allegations mndo by Major General Miles In his testimony beforo tho war Investigating commission con cerning tho meat furnished tho army during tho late war with Spain hold Its last opon session yesterday) and Is now engaged upon tho preparation of Its report. Tho court has been In ses sion almost ten weeks, and In addi tion to dally hearings given In this Ity for several wcoks sessions havo been held In Chicago, Omaha and Kansas City to afford tlio members of the court an opportunity porsonallly to Inspect the cunning and refrigerat ing processes ot the packing houses. Severn! hundred witnesses have been examined, most of whom have been officers and enlisted men In the reg- ulur or volunteer service, and over ,500 pages of testimony havo been submitted. Yesterday tho court decided not to accept a report made by Lieutenant Colonel Garlington, of tho Inspector general's olllce. This report had been transmitted to General Rules through Inspector General Drcckonrldgo. Tho report of General Garlington covers about 80 typewritten pages, and goes exhaustively Into tlio reports made by officers and men, without drawing any general conclusion. Tho board, In ex planation of Its refusal to accept this report In evidence, gave out the fol lowing statement: "Tho report of the investigation con ducted by Lieutenant Colonel Garling ton, Inspector general, under orders of the major general commanding, con tains the result of an inquiry carried on for the most part at the same time and In the same places as that en trusted to this court by tho president. During the progress of the investiga tion Colonel Garlington has submitted the names of witnesses and from time to time has suggested subjects of In quiry, all of which have been fully considered by the court. The reports which wero furnished him by officers of the army have already been read and submitted In evidence. In view of these facts, and as it docs not ap pear that Colonel Garlington had any other or better means of Information than were accessible to the court at every stage of Its inquiry, It is ordered that tho report be not received in evi dence. At the afternoon session Major Leo, who had been Major General Miles' representative before tho board, sum med up for his Bide of the case. Re corder Davis read brief reports from General Breckonrldge, the Inspector general, and also from two of his subordinates, Major Philip Ueade and Lieutenant Colonel Garlington, as to the result of tholr Individual work and observations. General Breckinridge condemned the canned beef ration, and, speaking generally, said that whiio'i:he army ration fulfilled alone the scien tific requirement of food values, its component parts should bo changed to meet the now conditions of service. As the ration wns fixed by law, this was a matter for congress to remedy. He also sue'ested that articles required by sick and convalescent soldiers should be added. Major Reade's re port was mainly devoted to tho lack of certain camp equipment among cer tain regiments, and that of Colonel Garlington to the result of his per sonal Inspection of the various camps ot the country. The court then decided that If any of the depositions for which General Miles had called should be received prior to tho completion of the report of the board they should bo admitted as evidence, subject to the board a llmita tlons. Major Lee then summed up tho case. disclaiming at the outset that he was acting as counsel for Major General Miles in a technical sense, and adding that ho had been there simply to pre sent and elicit evidence. He read hU argument from carefully prepared manuscript, and was given careful at tention by the three members of tho court and the recorder, no one else bolng present except the representa tives of the press. He declared that the evidence showed conclusively that tho beef furnished the troops In Flor ida, Cuba and Porto Rico had been chemically treated to insure its keep ing the specified contract time, that it was perfectly practicable to have land ed beef cattle with the armies at all points, and proceeded: "There was no necessity for de parture from the army travel ration which has been found perfectly satis factory. Instead of supplying the troops during this war, as other ar mies have been supplied, with whole some food (of which there was an In exhaustible supply In the country) thero was gathered up all of the can ned food possible, much ot which had been stored lor years in tho ware houses of the Baltimore and Ohio rail road, in other places nnd In foreign storehouses, nnd falsely labeled 'prime roast beef,' whon there was not an ounco of roast beef and, we believe, not an ounco of prime beef contained In the cans. "We believe that a great fraud has been perpetrated upon the government and a great crlmo committed upon its soldiers, and as to the party or parties who had committed this offense, and wneiuor ine eviaence snouiu ue reier red to tho Judicial officers of tho gov ernment, in order, that Justice shall be done, are matters that we leave to the consideration of your honorable court." Major Lee's statement consumed about an hour, and Whon he concluded with tho statement that the members of the board must decide whether tho great fraud and great crime which ho believed had been committed should be carried before the courts, Rocordor Davis arose and said simply: "I sub mit the case to the board without ar gument."
