It began to show its confidence in General Otis, who had continually declar ed that 30,000 men were all he needed, by issuing th nee essary orders to make the full strength of the army in the Philppinea 40,000 men; then it was decided to make it 50,000, and the orders un der whiau the ten new regi ments ure being recruited will raise the number to 63,- 000 men. To be logical the next order ought to name a new commnnderforthislarge army. The proceedings in connection with the order to recruit these last ten regi ments which, by the way, will almost bring the volunteer army up to the limit set by Congress, where an object les son in the wibley wabley poli cy which this administration has so often adopted. At first it was positively denied that the order would be issued at all; then it was said that the regiments would be braised, but would inertly be held as a reserve, and at last, w hen it could no longer be hidden, it was acknowledged that ar rangements had been made to land the last of them at Manila about the first of De cember, which means they will leave San Francisco ear ly in October. The sending of a big army to the Philippines is a b i g political play on the part of the administration. This is recognized by all close politi cal observers. The opinion of Col. W. E. McLean, of Indi ana, who was Deputy Com missionei of pensions under the Cleveland administra tion, and who is now in Wash ington on his way to the G. A. R. encampment, to which he is a delegate nt-large, is that of thosands, regardless of politics. He said: "Ono thing is certain; it the Philip pine war is not ended before the presidential campaign comes on, it is good bye to President McKinley. The war over there is fast growing in unpopularity. The polhy of expansion is opposed bj a great many western republi cans, and the democrats are nearly an unit against it." Speaking of politics in his own state, Col. McLean said: "The Indiana democrat who is not for Bryan and the Chi cago platform, is a man with out a party, and his position is so lonesome that he almost feels as though he had no party." The Colonel knows, as he was that sort of a dem ocrat himself in 1896. There is a paragraph in an official report just received by Surgeon General Sternberg from Major John R. Hoff, chief surgeon of the niiltary district of Porto Rteo, which is not calculated to make new ehouters for imperialism among the thoughtful. In considering this very serious matter, it should not bo for gotten that Porto Rico is the healthiest of our new island possessions. , The paragraph is almost too plain spoken to be quoted in a family pa per. Suffice it to say that in it Major Hoff speaks of the alarming prevalence of pri vate diseases among our sol diers over there and says the indications are that it will not be long before a large percentage of them wiP be as thoroughly infected as the native population. He also points out the danger of re turning soldiers spreading the contamination at their homes, a danger that Great Britain has found to be of the gravest proportions in her experience with her trop ical possessions. Something like this has been said betore, but it was booted down as the talk of an alarmist. It begins to look as though the man who said ''the moreyou know aboat the tropics, the less desire you have to live therewas about tight. According to high republi can authority, Alger never, neyer was a real ' candidate for the Senate and his an nouncement to that ehect was made after a full under standing with Mr. McKinley, solely for the purpose of pre paring a reason for his resig nation from the cabinet. This may or may not be true, but the announcement some days ago by Mr, Alger that he was entirely outof politics seems to bear out the story. There has been so much republican trickiness in Washington that one is never surprised to dis cover something new in that line. The Hanna-McKinley crowd seem to prefer doing even the most simple things in a mysterious way. Accord ing to the above mentioned republican authority, 'The real truth, is, probably, that the change finally in the War Department was compelled not so much by the bitter opposition of General Alger personally, as to the necessi ty confronting the adminis tration of infusing new vigor into the war in the Philip pines, which was languishing bejond the period set for its successful conclusion." About one month ago my child, who is about fifteen months old, had an attack oi diarrhoea accompanied by vomiting. I gave it such rem edies as are usually given in such cases, but as nothing gave relief, we sent for a phy sican and was under his care for a week. At this time the child bad been sick for about ten days and was having a bout twenty-five operations of the bowels every twelve hours, and we were convinc ed that unless it soon obtain ed relief it would not live. Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and diarrhoea'remedy was rec ommended. and 1 decided to try it. I soon noticed a change for the better; by itscontinu ed use a complete cure was brought about and it is now perfectly healthy .-C. L. Boggs Stumptown, W. Va. For sale by druggists. It was wrong to demand absolute .and unconditional surrender of the insurgent Filipinos. What we should have done was to oiler them independence under our pro tection. War would have thus been averted. . , Who Hath Woes, Hillsboro News. ...... . , , M Man that is married to a woman dufinghousecleaning time is of few days and fall of carpet tacks. A cloud of dust obscureth his vision and great gobs of dark brown gloom possess eth his soul. Heriseth'up betimes and sniffeth the morning air with a heavy heart and an obstruc ted nose. He snatcheth n raw pan cake from the griddle and rusheth to his labors depress ed in spirit, saturated with dyspepsia. He retuneth at noon and falleth over a mop. The dull sickening thnd of t hebetarru ped carpet is heard in the land. The queen of the household crowneth herself with a dirty towel and a fierce look. She resembleth an uvening angel. Large quantities of real es tate settleth among the dim ples of her swan-like neck. Her eyes glareth with the fury of gieat enter pise. She raaketh her spouse to eat dinner from the ironing board in the kitehen which resteth on two chairs. He findeth a cake of soap beside his plate and a por tion of the scalp of the scrub bing brush in the butter. At night he retnrneth to his home with a timid, halt ing rep. He feareth the worst.. He drinketh a little cold tea and prepareth for bed. A live carpet tack buryeth its fangs in his foot. He yelleth in agony "Hell inaminia!" and bumpeth the plastering fiotn the ceiling in vain ana fertile attempt to jump through the roof. He lieth down on his couch and wetteth his pillow with tears. The family dog howleth be neath the window like the wail of a dammed soul and Notre Dame soul ia the house shepetb. The fetid fragrance of the Bedbug soeciflc swelleth to heaven and thearoma of new laid moth falls sifted through the lid of the clothes chest. Who hath woe? Who hath sorrow? Who hath redness of eyes and stopped up nose? He who monkeyetb with house cleaning. Who smasheth his thumb? Who po'.uth his lips with bias phemy? Who imperileth his immortal soul? He who tar ryeth at home to tack down carpets. The Rev. W. R. Costley, of Stockbridge, Ga., while at tending to his pastoral du ties at Ellen wood, that state was attacked by cholera mor bus.

" The People's Own 'Gouger' has beeu sold and will soon go out of business asa'Goug er' and begin work as a rail road. There was a hitch in the trade, due to the fact that the purcbasere were a day or two behind in pay ing the first installment of the purchase money and those who have been roosting in fat places on the road tried to break the trade. This hitch, however, has been gotten over and the deal consummated. The syndicate which has been negotiating, and which has at last bought.the road, secured $176,000 of bonds at 85 cents 3,262 shares of the stock at a'n average of $2.50 per share. The terms of the sale were 10 per cent, of the purchase money at the close of the deal and the re mainder in installments 50 per cent, of the purchase price to be paid in not later than January 1st, next. When 50 per cent, of the purchase price shall have been paid in, the new owners of the road are to take control of the property. The directors of the road held a meeting in Newton on Tuesday and decided to "ac cept $2.50 per share for the 700 shares of 'treasury stock' and 85 cents for the "treasu ry bonds." From a reliable rail road source we learn that the New York syndicate, which has made the purchasers an ally to the Seaboard Air Line System, which system is in reulity, the new owner of the Carolina & North Western. So that the news given out by The Journal from time to time about the deal is thus fully and officially confirmed. That the 50 per cent, of the purchase money will be paid promptly and ; probably be fore maturity, may be confi dently expected. And when the road passes into the nands of its new owners the work of completing it thro' to Tennessee will be quickly begun. It is estimated that two thousaud people lost their lives in the recent flood at Porto Rico. I TO Btantht Blfutan Ths Kind Tw Han rwy BatgHt NOTICE.

May 2, '99. John H. Bingham. C. S. C. Lovill & Fletcukk Att ys. As To Expansion. , . 'Expansion, why, why mydear . boy, we haye already expanded, , and it is not a question whether or not w? are in favor it. What is to be our future course in the -Philippines? That's the ques. tion. Thesejellows who dub them selves anti-expansionists, don't know. They say give the islands a protectorate, but what they mean by this they will not state, and I don't know. It makes no difference whether the 0. 8. bad a right to buy these islands or whether Spain bad a title which she could dispose of. The fact re mains that we did buy them ani are there now for the purpose of giving the natives an opportuni ty to govern themselves It may be that our arguments are rath er strong, but it is apparent the only way to treat with these peo ple. If the United States proposes to hold the islands, and only fu ture developments can Bettle that, we must at any rate inter fere in the local government if we hope to treat with foreign pow era Some theorists try to ad vance the proposition that we sell the islands. This would be contrary to all our traditions in the first place, and again, who could we sell them to? As far as I have heard it would have to be to same monarchy, and the peo ple of the United States would stamp with unanimous disappro val the pule of a country and its people." Senator Steward. Nashville American: All the fools are not dead yet. Congress man Hawley, of Texas, bears wit ness to this fact. He has discover ed and so announces that the death-dealing hurricane which swept over Porto Rico was a man ifestation of the wrath of God a- gainst the Porto Ricans because the United States defeated Spain and acquired the island. That the Porto Ricans played no part in the affair, does not seem to have oceurred to the distinguish ed law-maker. If a "dispensa tion" of wrath was due it should have been against the Americans and not against the Porto Ri cans. CASTOR I A Por Infanta and Children.
