A fow days we iiuliliHliod an

"We have been there two yoatp,

although the tolerance of timidity
exists in different degrees, naturally,
in different parts of the archipelago
and among different tribes."
He further expresses the opinion
that if McKinley be reelected the
Republican leaders will devise some
scheme to get out uf this predica
ment and bent "a tmu-terly retreat."
There is no doubt that they arc
heartily sick of the job they have
undertaken and that they Would
gladly get out of it if they could

not put them in a contradictory po

it is, wo w ill take a runnit'L' start,
jump across the Altan'ie and mink
our liist heel prints in London.
A week here g'tve us a sort of
panoramic idea of what it into live,
not die, in a jttn. The streets are
not wide, (mil the mrging crowds
li rid inndi (ju.ite facilities for getting
around on f ho two story omt ibuses.
Tho underground mil ways do an
immense hmincsa, and yet it seems
to a casual observer that all the world
is in London on foot. I fiw not a
street hb splendid as I'road way, New
York, nor one so palati.il as Killh
Avenue. Everything wears a dingy,
aged, venerablo look. liven the
Houses of Parliament, though not
old, arc beginning to look sombre,
solemn ami time worn. While the
interior is exceedingly gorgeous,
many apartments are dark, "lootny
and cheerless. Wis' minster is, ol
course, just as wu had expected to
find it a huge sepulehcr, gray w ilh
age, crumbling from time's icinorse
less hand, venerable, peaceful, holy.
We walked lightly about Ihu ashes
of many bad kings, as well as over
the tombs of honored statesmen,
warriors, poets and divines, not a
few. P.ut history makes London
great. One need not go to the
Tower or Windsor to study history ;
the very etoncc under our feet along
the Strand, Fleet, Pal! Mall, Picca
dilly and many other streets, have
felt tho tramp of London's onward
march for centuries pat-t. We paid
our respects to about all the "lions''
here, even those caged in the zoolog
ical gardens, and then crossed over
to Paris.
Ah, what h change! beautiful. airy,
cheerful, splendid Paris! Old as
London, but not half so gray and
wrinkled. How those French do
love sport, beauty, fun, wine and
American money! Everything
magnetic and draws one, with all hie
belongings, tewards one gieat centre
-the gay, joyous, frivolous. Godless
lu art t f the city, the Klysean Fields.
Paintings, sculptures, poetry, music,
are everywhere blended into one
grand panorama that glows and
flashes resplendent rays upon all the
houses and through all tho broad
boulevarda of the city. The Ex po
sition is hardly so great as ours of
''.h'5. Tho buildings are not so gor
geous, nor tho general arrangement
so uniform. Ten days satisfied me
that 1 did not care for a palace in
the gay capitol, for the Freri'di are
not so modest nor so good as North
Carolinians.
Switzerland next, with mountains
towering above tho clouds; waters
thundering over declivities a thous
arid leet high ; great masses of snow
pent up within vast caverns; huge
boulders a mile above your head,
looking almost straight down into
your lace and threatening to leap
upon you at the least provocation
and crush yon to atoms; a vale as
green as Erin's Isle, Risking in the
genial sunshine far below; spots
here and there covered with vines,
with crisscrossed railroads running
along the valleys, around and
through tho mountains; palatial
homes, gunny towns, lovely lakes;
preat and magnificent hotels, crowd
ed with people from all lands; this,
this is Switzerland. With what rap
ture I looked up among the clouds
and saw heaven and earth kissing
each other! while down, away down
below ran a silver etrem, bordered
with richest green and sprinkled
over with flowers of many hues, al
together making a picture as lovely
as Eden itself.
Put let's go under rather than over
the Al, and come into the sunshine
of fair Italy. We stop over in Tu
rin, (ienoa, Piso, and then on to
K-inio. It Virgil and Horace sing
tha praises of tho "Eternal City;''
I shall speak of her vAst ruins most
ly. I have never been more aston
idied. 1 have leen reading and
diligently studying Roman hietory
all my lite, and had thought that the
"City of the Cicars" was buried
forever from the sight of man. I
knew that there were euino isolatid
columns, Some broken paveim-nts of

as to whether St. Peter had ever
been in Koine! Why, he had al

Secretary of War Pain-ev
published the dream in I"". Ii
seems that it was not China in
vaded, but China invading that
tilled the terrific dream. The
Chinese in endless force was in
America. In bis book it was
said :
"Their onward movement was
like that of a vast m;n bine, a
perfect horror of tactical lire
cision ami blind obedience. 1'he
vast army seemed to be actuated
by the same impulse which sends
an army of ants onward in spite
of fire and water and smothers
all opjaisition with the very
Imdiesof 'forlor n hopes,' 'sacred
bauds' that leads the rest."
The description of the tierce
buttle that followed is most
graphic, most awful. The Sun's
account is this .
'In Ibis dream the prophetic
part is hardly to be put upon that
which relates to a "Hut tie of
Hoiking " with the much abused
Mongolian, but who shall say it
may not faintly grasp some of
the tactical possibilities of that
awful warfare of the future,
whose deadly arms, inexhaustible
supplies, and relentless control
of electricity and the higher ex
plosive, and whose utilization t f
all the infernal mechanism of
human military ingenuity shall
tend towards a battle like to that
of Armageddon,"
Time will show and iiclore
many years passes, what will Im
tin! tinal output .of the Chinese
murderous campaign wbelln
it will remuin or become a great
power among the powers or be
overrun and desiKrileil and dually
disinouilierod. Mr. Totten in his
interview with the Sun, gives a
very vivid tlescriblioii of the
great changes made in war1 like
instruments of destruction. We
copy a paragraph or so :
"Wlnle heavy artillery is
straining every trower of nature
to fabricate enormous guns,
engineering is taxed at all her
skill and genius uion the counter
questions of more permanent
defence. Now explosives are
harnessed to new machines, and
the most recent offspring of tho
terrible torpedo brood, shunning
its appropriate element, ami
essaying the very air itself, leaps
forth ujam its errand of destruc
tion from tho cannon's mouth !
From the liight-mare of experi
ment that these efforts are sug
gesting the very air seeks the re
lief of vacuum, and the ocean,
unable to oscai', quivers with
anticipation as monster after
monster, each more horrible in
deformity, and more instinct with
infernal aitence than its prede
cessor, launeiie.s wnii accelerat

"Field artillery has w itnessed
the successive abstraction of

each in turn has been pronounced
a hoireloss efficiency ; and now

single, muzzle and breach load

controversy, and burdened down
with an overload of ammunition,

A GOOD CAMPAIGN ARGUMENT.
The Standard Oil Trust Has Showed
Its Fanes and Snarled at the
Brave, Noble Democratic
Standard Bearer.
A New Vork dispatch says James
Creclman send the following to tho
New York Journal from Wheeling,
West Virginia :
"The Standard Oil Trnst hns

great sensition which Colonel llrysn
by his magnificent speeches against
tho Trusts, Imperialism and other
llepnblican idols is making among
tho voters of West Virginia, II. II.
lingers, of Vir'"'! a big man in
this State and a closo friend of
Stephen II. L'kins, head of the
Standard Oil I'ipo lines, and presi
dent of the Ohio liiver railroad, re
fused to let tho Uryan private car
bo sttached to a regular train, ns he
was requested to do, arid forced tho
standard liearer of Democracy to
travel in an ordinary car.
"No such extraordinary insult has
ever before lieen put upon the candi
date of a great party. If is nolignro
of speech to say that the people of
West Virginia, irrespective of par
ty, are furious at the high handed
proceeding. It was, moreover, an
act grossly illegal, for under tho
charter of the railroad as a common
carrier it had no right to refuse the
car tho transportation asked for.
"It is lauievtvl that this lingers
episode will carry thousand of
voters troin Mckinley to l.ryan not
only in this State, but in others. The
llepublican managers admit that it
is as unfortunate an incident as the
famous speech of a New Vork clergy
man who unwittingly neipeu to
elect (i rover Cleveland ami defeat
Janus (i. liUiue.
"The Hryan party has been tour

cost to the Democratic committee of
this State of 4 4 1 . In map:ng out
Colonel liryan's itinerary, Colonel
John McOraw, national committee
man, ligured that be could send the
special ear on the regnlarOhio liiver
railroad train leaving l arkersbiirg
in tho afternoon and arriving at
Wheeling at 7;oi o'clock.
I be committee having charge ot
tho I'arkersburg meeting asked (ion
oral Manager Hurt it tho car could
Ikj put on the regular train. It was
a riqiiest which would havo been
answered in the aflirmative for any
railroad man in the country, no mat
ter if he were a mere director in
some back-country by road fo miles
ong.
" 'I see no objection,' said Colonel
Hurt. "I will ask the president.'
"It is said the atmosphere in the
ollico of II. II. lingers grew lurid
when he received the request and
that his language was unlit for pub
lication. Ho had been greatly stirr
ed up, as all the Standard Oil mag
nates are, over the straightforward,
unanswerable arguments of Colonel
Dry an against their great throat
grasping combination. Hero was
a chance to get even, he thought.
And tho answer went back, mono
syllabic, but plain as to its meaning :
" 'No. U. 11. lingers, president.'
"The whole thing is looked upon
as such a petty, childish bit of mal
ice that Republicans are amzed that
a man of the supposed good sense
of lingers should lie guilty of it.
It did not hurt Mr. Uryan a hit. He
laughed and said it was one of the
lust campaign arguments against
Republicanism and Trustism he had
ever known a Trnst llepublican to
utter. It was as good as a whole
trainful of stump sieakers.
"'I could force him to haul that
car,' said Committeeman MeOraw.
"'No; don't do that. Ask Lim
no favors,' was tho wise response.
And the contemptible act was left
to do its work iu behalf of the Dem
ocratic party.
"So Mr. llryan's coach was side
tracked at I'arkersburg, and Colonel
McCraw bought a ticket for Wheel
ing on the ordinary train, for the
candidate, who was almost over
whelmed by the crowd which tried
to get at him and shake him by the
hand, and which said things about
lingers and Klkius which they would
nit have liked to hear."
Question Answered.
Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine in the civil
ized world. Your mothers' and grand
mothers' never thought of using sny
thmg else for Indigestion or liiiioos
ness. Iroetors were soan'e, and they
seldom heard of A iendicit is. N ervous
I'rostratiun or Heart failure, etc They
used August, flower to clean out the
system and stop fermentation of undi
gested food, regulate th action of the
liver, stimulate the nervous ami organic
action of the system, and that is all they
took when feeling dull and hadnitii
headaehea and otiu-r aches. You only

Mrs. (iladstone's death and he
burial in Westminster Abbey beside
her noble husband, who died a com
morier, and not a duke, because he
so preferred, have called forth many
expressions of admiration and grat
itude for the Fnglish home which
these two congenial spirits exalted
am! adorned. 1 he (Jonntcss of Ab
erueen, an intimate irienu ami a
frequent visitor at llawarden, pic
tures, it in part :J sr'
"The pt-rfect home! Vet the
thoughts of many are turning now
to those daysspent in the hospitable
castle in the lovely r.nghsh park
amid the Velsh hills. It has all
liccn so often described. Mr. Glad-
stone's morning walk, by the wood
and path he had made, to thedaily
t; clock service at the psrish
church. Mrs. (iladstoiie gathering
her household tot'i-th'T for family
prayers, rich and vaiicd coners
tiori at meal times or during walks
and drives, the instant and regular
rt sumption t)f work at the appoint
ed hours, the consideration shown to
every member of the household,
each of whtiin seemed to be an ob
ject uf solicitous interest, the wide
sympathies flowing out from that
home to nil who were in trouble and
sorrow, whi ther the sulTerers dwelt
in palaces or in lowly cottages, the
orphanage at the Castle gates, and
the innumerable agencies for good
in which a personal share was taken
bv the family, the sense of duty lirst
and pleature afterward which per
vaded all the daily routine, the per
annul devotion to flic (vhiccn and her
service shown whenever her name
was mentioned - thci-c are but a few
of the memories which are left w ith
ns of surroundings which must have
been lived among tola; understood."
Such limnis, in spirit and Chris
tian purity and courtesy an 1 intelli
gence, though lacking as a rule these
externalities i f wealth and social dis
tinction, are the salvation of Kng
land and America. They are not
so lew as we sometimes think ; they
are riot so numerous as they ought
to Int. More powerful for domestic
happiness and national welfare than
are our armies and navies and all
the machinery of legislation, it is
the highest piivilege and duty of
church and state alike to aid in their
creation and to promote their seen
rily and perfection. i?uch homes
are ripe, consummate fruit of Chris
tian civilization. Common wealth.

Mother's Friend equips the patient with a
strong body snd clear intellect, which in

the muscles and allowi them to expand. It
relieves morning sickness and nervousness.
It puts all the organs concerned in perfect

avoided, and recovery is merely a nutter oi
