Tl ESDAY. APRIL 25. 1809.
OUR COUNTRY : First, Last and Forever.
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.

?ovot Suit "For Irtinincos.
Washington, April 25. 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.

PARSNIP COMPLEXION.
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. Us reputation is woria-wiue ana u is
so easy to get at any drug store that no one

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

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

winning- must go on. The scanty wages must

weak and dizzy that I would often have severe fainting spells,
I took in all several bottles of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound and Blood Purifier and used the Sanative Wash,
and am now in good health. I wish others to know of tho
wondorful good it has done me, and have many friends taking
it now. Will always give your medicine the highest praise."
Excessive menstrual pain wears on women,
and health soon gives way. The following
letter shows what Mrs. Pinkham's advice did
for a school teacher of Higginsport, Ohio:
" Dear Mrs. Pinkham I am a school teacher and had
suffered untold agony during my menstrual periods for ten
yaars. My nervous system was almost a wreck. I suffered
with pain in my side and had almost every ill human flesh is
heir to. I had taken treatment from a number of physicians
who gave me no relief. In fact one eminent specialist said no
medicine could help me, I must submit to an operation. At
my mother's request, I wrote to Mrs. Pinkham stating my case
in every particular and received a prompt reply, I followed
the advice given me and now I suffer no more during menses.
If any one cares to know more about my case, I will cheerfully
answer all letters." Hiss Edna Ellis, Higginsport, Ohio.
