Words of Caution for the Careful. Many storekeepers advertise inferior grades as the best and drive for the largest possible profit on each sale. Some have the wisdom actually to han dle the best goods and be content with im. nrnflt as will make each customer jtn advertiser. Customers soon ieaiy to appreciate that fact. They are not fools. They know when they are treated well, and are given their mon ey's worth. Therefore the way to sell more and-oftener is to persuade such people into trying a genuine article, and at Cut-Rate Prices.

The war now has a 22-knot gait on, which is several knots faster than Spain can move. . - t It seems that the Gazette was correct in saying that the Cape Verde Spanish fleet was in West Indian waters. Commodore Schley's name is pro nounced Shly. If he Catches the Span-: iards" he may have to prove himself worthy his' name. Don't bewail the dull times. Adver tise in the Gazette. This remedy is guaranteed to cure the complaint. Five thousand people in Asheville alone read the Gazette every morning. Oliver Hazard Perry Belmont's patri otic donation to the United States is not quite as good as that first reported. He does not give a $3,000,0000 battleship, but proposes to lend a torpedo boat for which he will furnish the officers and the government the men and supplies. The Laffan news bureau was the first newsgathering association to send in a report of the bombardment of Porto Rico, and the account -published in yes terday's Gazette was the mosf com plete of any that reached this city in the morning papers yesterday. Dr John Guiteras, professor of path ology in the University of Pennsylva j nia, and eminent as a yellow fever ex pert, who Is to act as medical adviser to the commander of the army In Cuha, says as to the dangers which may beset troops In Cuba, and the precautions which should be adopted: "It is pos sible to prevent the Infection of mili tary garrisons, though whether it can e done in a campaign remains to be seen. Yellow fever is circumscribed within certain areas, and if it is possi ble to keep the troops away from those areas there will be little danger of in fection. Contrary to the prevallmg idea altitude does not govern the disease, there are no extremely high altitudes in Cuba, and yet there are places where there is no yellow fever. In some places on the coast the disease-is not to be foundi As a general rulelh mnrp important the town, the greater its commercial activity, the more infected it is. Yet a congregation of people in the interior could not originate yellow fever, the cities where the disease pre- vails are Infected because they are per manently inhabited by a crowd. Still the disease may be carried to a garri son from an Infected town. To guard against this the trooptf must be placed by themeslves, m uninfected places, and they must not communicate with infected places. Then, too, no depot of supplies should be placed in an infect ed port This, of course, is a desider atum that It may be difficult to obtain for strategic reasons. Ideal conditions are not always possible in a military campaign. Whether or not yellow tev- er. can be kept from the troops depends entirely upon whether these plans, can be carried out."

From it came Ma chiavellisra, with i$s double, morality, its base maxims, its deceit, its "reasons of state." It existed, 'as Mr. Proal says, long before the" time of "the great Flor entine, who dowered It with his name. Sparta. Athens," Rome were all given up largely to the worship of it, as were Spain, - England, Germany;, and France in the sixteenth century when ,the doctrine ran riot over Europe. M. liCi C iAV O UU WW f Va V V"- kings and statesmen of France, Louis XIV, Richelieu, Mazarin and De Retz, were all pupils of the Florentine soph ist, while the really good and great men of France, Feneion, Bousret, Massillon, Mably, all tried to combat this fatal doctrine. He cites St. Louis, Henry IV, Sullyrv Turgot, Franklin and Washington to show that it is possible to be a "great iking, a great minister, a great citizen, ad at the same time an honest man." lie says of France and Italy, what applies equally as well to the United States, that parliamentary scandals "have done more for the progress of revolutionary socialism and anarchism than twenty years of propogahda. For tunes ill-acquired and ill-employed scandalize and Irritate the poor; The politicians who are guilty of venality and the rich who do not deserve re spect are largely responsible for . the progress of anarchism." He gives- political hatreds and politi cal hypocrisy among t the evils which flow from love of power, and illustrates from history the terrible and far-reaching consequences of these Vices. Cor ruption and bribery, too, are traced b the same source. He contrasts the contemporary ca reers of Napoleon and Washington, and pays a noble tribute to the, great American. On the one hand a man jf gigantic intellect permitted his policy to be determined by intellect and ambi tion solely. He waa a scourge to France and mankind, and his Machia vellism filled Europe with misery arid ruin. Washington was fundamentally a great hearted gentleman living in Virginia, whose life, was rooted, in mor al purpose, and his noble common sense determined Tiis policy. Ifiow will the wondedf ul Corsicah, stand in history as compared with the; upright .Virginia4 planter? How Will mankind, as long as the world lasts, compare the re spective results of their policies? It appears certain that the really great statesman is not usually a man of lofty genius, but of firm character and sound common .sense Judgement. ' The success in the working of democratic institu tions will largely depend on the ability of the people to see this and jgf prefer character to brilliancy. National In terests should never be allowed to over-ride the interests of mankind. In a word, morality must rule all through, it being as expedient as it is right. "Science without conscience," Rabe lais has said, "is the ruin of the -soul. Politics without morality are the ruin of society." The book as a whole is a timely pro test and warning for republican Amer ica as well; as for republican France; and that clear-eyed men of intellect and position hold these principles be fore their fellow-countrymen and be fore hSimanity at large gives hope for the progress of true democratic insti tutions. TOPICS OF TODAY. General Roy Stone, ofthe good roads bureau of the agricultural department, will accompany the' army of invasion in Cuba, and will take with him im proved road building machinery for use .there. General Stone, who Was a gal lant commander during the civil war and led the famous Buck Tall regiment of Pennsylvania, will direct the con struction of roads and the use of ma chinery which, it is thought, can also be utilized In the construction of forti fications, especially the trenches. He is an expert road-builder and his new du ties are largely due to his presentation of the advantages good roads would have been to the union forces during the civil war. General Stone believes that the roads he5 will construct will not only materially aid the movement of the armies, but that they will remain a permanent improvement to be en joyed by the people of Cuba after peace is restored. The streets of Manila are so modern as to be quite out of keeping with the general appearance of the town. They are perfectly straight, macademized and provided with ample granite walks. ur tnese tne Escolta and the Rosario Auction sale May 19, of part of the Woodfin property, a good opportunity for persons of small means to secure a home at reasonable prices. 83-4 H.

War is now a sqience, both mathe matical and engineering, and the Span ish are signally wanting in scientific attainments. On the other hand, we are so fortunate as to grasp the meaning and force of modern ideas, to realize thaJt by applied science we can easily accomplish results otherwise unattain- f able. Thus, for example, the use of that American invention, "the range find er," on our warships, a device Tty the .employment of which the certainty of our fire is tremendously increased is simply adapting scientific knowledge to practical purposes, just as it would be so adapted in a coal mfne, an iron foundry, a cotton mill or a grain ele vator. This utilization of machinery and scientific methods is characteristic of us as a people. It accounts in time rot peace for the enormous growth of wealth by the development is has per mitted of cfur natural resources, and in time of war it permits us to quickly se cure advantages by mechanical means that would be impossible in the case of a nation not thus gifted. Boston Her ald. - Captain Alfred T. Mahan has writ ten a paper for, the June number of the Century on the causes of the failure of the Spanish armada. ,It accompanies an illustrated article giving the story of the famous catastrophe, based on manuscript records and on the narra tives of survivors and other Spanish documents. . ! This number of the Century wilt con tain several other articles of equal timeliness. "I regard this war," said President Capen, of Tufts College, in his address to the students, "as the most holy war ever undertaken; not for political glory but simply in behalf of humanity. It is a grand case of national, self-denial; it is not our politicians or our diplo mats, but the people who have placed us where we are in this war to succor the starving and to free the oppress ed." POSTSCRIPTS. A plant has been erected in the state of South Carolina costing about $75,000 and will be operated in making Carpets. The people of Georgia will celebrate Jefferson Davis' birthday on Friday, June 3, and it Is hardly necessary to say that the celebration this year will be one of the liveliest that the state has Known. ,.:y.y, . .F.I The London Daily News publishes a despatch from a point beyond the Ital ian frontier; confirming the censorized telegram from its Milan; correspondent as to the fighting at Milan. According to this communication, between 100 and 200 were killed on Saturday, more on Sunday, and still more yesterday (Mon- i day.) Hundreds are wounded and dy ing, the new bullet used by the troops having the effect of explosive balls. ' -'-The cruiser Minneapolis finished coaling this evening and rejoined the flying squadron at Old Point. It is re ported that the Minneapolis lost one of her guns while coaling. According to f the rumor, the gun was being adjusted on its carriage, when it slipped arid fell overboard. The fact that the crulser! remained in the stream several hours after she had finished coaling adds col or to the report, which officers of the vessel decline to affirm or deny. Bob Arthur, a - citizen of Chatta nooga, thought to have some fun with two mountaineers the other day by tell ing them -that he was a Spanish spy and wanted to enlist thefti in a plot to blow up the United States army at Chickamatiga. One of the countrymen, who was slightly intoxicated1, hauled oft! and knocked Bob down, beating , him fearfully and calling for the police. "By gad, I'm an American citizen and' no "infernal dago can talk treason to me," said he. Advices from Milan give details qf thejarrest of 200 rioters in .a, monastery there on Tuesday. It appears that the students from Pavia, who joined in the disturbances, entrenched themselves in the Capuchin monastery and while a detachment of troops were passing fired upon them. ' The military authorities sent two field guns to the scene, opened fire on the monastery, made a breach in its -walls, and entered the building; but the students escaped. All the monks were arrested, and they will be impris oned previously to being distributed among the other monasteries of the or der. For the present the monks will be held at the disposal 5f the military au thorities. Washington, May 12.
