Aouinaldo'S plans to pass the summer at Culumplt have been rudely disturbed. Silent men in the army and navy never stood higher in public opinion than at the present time. Gen. Gombz is suid to be writing a plea for an American protectorate of Cuba until a stable government can be formed. There are many who be lieve that a government of that kind necessarily implies annexation. Mit. Wharton Baiikkk declares that the campaign of 1000 will not be fought on the financial issue. This is an adroit move on the part of the Populist candidate, and will bring many supporters to his standard no matter what it may be. Thk trade papers are all enthusias tic over the business situation. They say, what every intelligent person knows to be true, that trade was never more active in the United States than it is at this moment. The outlook, too, is that this activity will increase instead of diminish. A Democratic paper In New Eng land says : "We must expand our markets abroad, and that is why we -want the Philippines as a distributing centre of the vast markets in the East that are developing." On expansion, as on other questions, the Democratic party is completely torn up. Things Are Different Here. Governor. Stoneta naturally tho object of abuse by' Democratic "newspapers. That tsUn accordance with the eternal fitness of things. A Republican Governor cannot be expected to please the organs of a party which did all that was possible to prevent his election. Altoooa Tribune. Our contemporary may be correct In its conclusion, in so far as its refer ences are confined to the Demooratic press of the western part of the state, but not in this section. Schuylkill connty, for instance, presents an en tirely different brand of party regu larity. Here we have alleged Demo cratic editors using their columns to defeat the regular caucus nominee, Geo. A. Jenks. While Col. Guffeyand other Democratic leaders were exert ing every effort and with success, to keep their lines unbroken, the Schuyl kill brand of Jeffersonian Democracy, enunciated through the editorial quill in question, was sowing seeds of dissension. Fortunately for the honor of the Democratic legislators, they repudiated these interlopers, and stood loyally by their colors. The Wilkesbarre Record, which on every occasion shows its opposition to the followers of former Senator Quay, is entirely wrong in saying that' the persons charged with bribery at Harrisburg were "in the employ of the Quay machine.'' A little investi gation on the part of our contempor ary would have satisfied itself that such Is not the case. The men who managed Senator Quay's fight at Hurrisburg had no knowledge of the work of these alleged bribers until it was made public. This fact has even been admitted by the Wanumaker people. If the latter could have connected the Quay leaders with the bribery charges, they would have grasped the opportunity, for political effect, if for no other reason. The men who occupied expensive and luxurious rooms at the leading hotels at Harrlsburg, during the entire ses sion, were provided with the "where with" from unknown sources, and the Quay leaders themselves say they did not know who was paying the freight; that they furnished not one penny for that purpose. While the men charged may have worked in their own peculiar way for the election of Quay, with the hope of future recognition, our contemporary is wrong in charg ing that they were employed by the Quay leaders. Let us be just eyen in political matters.

OPPOSINQ ANNEXATION. One Sponker- Orootcil With Shout of "Tron "oil." Chicago, May 1. Central Music Hall was yestordny afternoon fllld with an auillenco gathered to protest ngalnBt tlio course of the administration with reference, to tlio I'hlllpplno Islands. Once or twice the proceedings wero In terrupted by protests of those who dls ngrood with the sentiments of tlio speakers. Professor J. Lawrence Latighlln, of tho Vnlvorslty of Chicago, In Bpoak Ing of the national policy toward the Filipinos, said: "Tlioro the flag Is the omblom of tyranny nml butchery." Voices of "Treason," came from the gnllory, hut tho cries woie quickly drowned out by approving chcors. When Dlsliop J. L. Spalding, of Teorla, doclnred that "England has never been n friend of this country," nn Ensllsliman near tho platform cried, "That's a He." Without noticing tho Interruption tho Bishop contluuod his address. Tho resolutions adopted declare: "Wo honor our soldiers and sailors In the Philippine islands for their un questioned bravery; and we mourn with tho whole nation for tho Amort can Uvea that havo been sacrificed. Wo hold that our government created the conditions which havo brought about tho sacrifice. "Wo earnestly condomn tho policy of the present national administration in the Philippines, and protest ngalnst the extension of American empire by Span ish mothods, and demand tho Im mediate cessation of the war against liberty, begun by Spain and continued by us." HOW TO FIND OUT. Fill a bottle or common glasss with your water and let it stand twenty-four hours: a sediment or settling indicates an unheal thy condition of the kidneys ; if it stains your linen it is evidence of kidney trouble ; too frequent desire to pass it or pain in the back is also convincing proof that the kidneys and bladder are out of order. WHAT TO DO. Thete Is comfort in the knowledge so often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root, the great kidney remedy fulfills every wish in curing rheumatism, pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part of the urinary passages. It corrects inability to hold water and scalding pain in passing it, or bad effects following use of liquor, wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant necessity of being compelled to go often during the day, and to get up many times dupng the night. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most distressing cases. If you need a medicine you should have the best. At druggists fifty cents or one dollar. You may have a sample bottle and a book that tells more about it, both sent absolutely free by mail, if you send your address to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y.

Since the opening of the campaign against the Insurgents scarcely a day has passed without dis patches from General Otis, and the absence of advices yesterday la taken by the war officials to moan that. pending further negotiations on tho part of the Filipinos for peace, the sit uation is precisely as General Otis re ported it on Saturday. It is known that supplies are ueing pushed forward from Manila to the troops at 'the front in order that they may be prepared for an advance movement, should such action become necessary. There has been no sus pension of hostilities, but it is re garded as likely that General Otis, while not losing any of tho advantage he has gained, will afford the Filipinos reasonable time to consider the situa tion and terms as ho presented them to the envoys of General Luna. It Is expectod confidently by officials of the war department that tho way to peace now being paved, further negotiations will bo opened by the Insurgents. Steof BrldcoH For Buinln.

FROM No Torture Equal to the Itching and Burning of This Fearful Disease. RAW AS BEEF Kczoma which is more than skin-deep, and can not bo reached by local appli cations of ointments, salves, etc., applied to the surfaoe. The disease itself, tho real cause of tho trouble, is In tho blood, although all suffering is produced through the skin ; the only way to reach tho disease, therefore, is through the blood. Mr. Phil T, Jones, of Mixersvlo, Ind writes: "I had Eczema thirty years, and after a great deal of treatment my leg was so raw and soro that it gave mo constant pain. It finally broke into a running sore, and began to spread and grow worse. For tho past five or six years I have suffered untold agony and had given up all hope of ever being free from the disease, as I have been treated by some of tho best physicians and have taken many blood medicines, all in vain. With little faith left I began to take S. 8. B,, and it apparently made tho Eczema worse, but I knew that this was tho way tho remedy got rid of tho poison. Continuing S. B. 8., tho sore healed up entirely, the skin became clear and smooth, and I was cured perfectly." Eczema is an obstinate disease and can not be cured by a remedy which is only a tonio. Swift's Specific S. S. S. FOR THE BLOOD is superior to other blood remedies because it cures diseases which they can not reach, It goes to tho bottom to tho causo of ths disease and will euro tho worst case of Eczema, no matter what other treatment has failed.
