A LOAN THAT IS POPULAR.
The 200,(100,000 which the secre
tary of the tfeasury asks the people
to lend to the government is a.popu
lar loan in the strictest "sense of that
term. The fact that the denominations
of the bonds run as low as $20 brings
them within reach of the great ma
jority of persons. Anybody who
has $20 to spare can bay one of these
bonds with but very little trouble
and with no cost to himself. Bonds
can be had of national nnd state
banks, money order ostoffices, sub
treasuries and express offices through
out the country, without extra charge
to the purchaser. Id this transaction
syndicates and brokers do not figure.
The individual lender deals directly
with the government.- No favorit
ism .whatever is shown, except that

get some of the bonds if the indi
vidual purchasers fail to take all of
them. In this case, in fact, the
rgmall purchasers, the masses of the
people, are the favored persons.'
By this loan the lndividuai'chizen
will be able to feel that he has a new
and. direct interest in the fortunes of
the government. He can realize that
be is contributing to the defense of
the nation, though be is not a mem
ber of either its army or its navy.
The fruits of his industry and thrift
are here utilized in the country's de
fense, and will tell in the great work
which the nation is doing for the
cause of liberty and civilization.
The individual vhus gains a more in
timate interest in the welfare of the
state than he bad hitherto , felt. lie
will take a livelier concern in the
manner in which the money is ex
pended than be ever did before, will
feel a patriotic thrill when be finds
bis country emerging tiiumphantly
from the war, and will know that be
has made a contribution to the vic
tory and is entitled to a share in the
B'.urj-
There is little reason to doubt that
the entire amount of the 1200,000,
000 will be subscribed by the people.
Larger loans than this have been sub
scribed by the people of France, and
there is more wealth, though less fru
gality and economy, among the
masses in this country than in those
of France. .The average wage
worker earns far more .here than he
does there, but ihe necessity for sav
ing is not so incessant or imperative.
This loan has many attractions. The
3 per cent rate of interest which will
be paid is about as high as the sav
ings banks in these days of congested
money markets offer. Of course the
security is better, than a savings
, bank or any other private financial
institution can famish. The pros
perity which has come to the coun
try since the destruction- of the silver
riiiiiiniiii
L3
menace in November, 1896, has
made money plentiful, and has im
mensely increased the government's
financial stability and credit. This
loan qugbt to be, and probably will
be, subscribed quickly. .
OBSTRUCTION IN THE SENATE
Leaders of the opposition to Ha
waiian annexation in the senate ad
mil that the resolution will be passed.
They know that delay in the matter
may seriously embarrass the admin
istration and may invite complica
tions that will be difficult to adjust,
and yet they give notice that they
will prolong the debate until ihe
middle of July. If the resolution
came before the senate today for a
vote ft would be adopted and there
would be do embarrassment and no
complications. Under the circum
stances there is nothing to be gained
by delay and much to be gained by
prompt action. The proposition is
so eimple that all the people will be
quick to sit in judgment on the ob
structionists. The policy of obstruction in the
senate is contemptible at any time,
but just now it is dangerous; not
moi dangerous to the country than
to the obstructionists or the parties
tbey represent. Men like Senator
Teller see this. Men like the gover
nor of Montana have spoken lor
their party in that state. "Senators
White and Jones of .the far West
cannot make the annexation of Ha
waii a party question, nor can they
drag Democrats afte them. Sena
tors nale. Hoar and Morrill qf the
far East cannot speak for the Re
publicans. . Senators Spooner, Gear,
and Thurston are making no friends
by their hesitation. The president
and nine-tenths of the people are in
favor of an annexation. It is ad
mitted dow that annexation will be
accomplished. ' There is no good
reason why the government should
not have at once all the advantages
from a military point of vier that
will come with annexation.
While the senate is hesitating and
wasting time in talk our soldiers
bound for the Philippines are re
ceived by the people of Hawaii with
as much enthusiasm ns though all
Hawaiiaus were Americans. In these
demonstrations one fact stands out
clearly. The anti-annexationists
have tried to make it appear that the
native Hawaiians were opposed to
annexation. In the reception of the
American "troops at Honolulu the
natives were as enthusiastic as any
others. Whatever may have been
their attitude two years ago, or one
year ago, they are now m favor of
annexation to the United States.
This disposes of almost the last argu
ment in the hands of the obstrucjM
lionists in the senate. The argu
ments . for and against annexation
have been heird and a decision has
been given by the people. There is
no use in droning over the constitu
tional phase of the question of dis
cussing the matter of military urgency.-
All these are of the past.
The question before the senate is.
Will senators be so unpatriotic, so
stubbornly indifferent to the inter-r
eats of the country, so oblivious to
the importauce of our control in the
Pacific, as to prevent 'immediate

A GOOD BEGINNING.
Europeans probably will have a
finer appreciation of the strategy in-
cident to the landing of General
Shafter's army in Cuba than Ameri
cans. There has been more talk in
Europe than in this country of the
difficulties in their annual maneu
vers. This is our Erst experience in
forty years in handling an nitry of
invasion. The people appreciated
Deither the difficulties ncr the dan-!
gers. They expected the iroops to
land, Spaniards or no Spaniards, and
their view of it is expressed iu the
triumphant "There tbey are -
But the question of landing was a
very serious one. The generalship
of officers, the courage of soldiers,
the co-operation of the navy, the
trustworthiness of the Cuban allies,
correct information as to localities
and roads, a mastery of details, and
a comprehensive, grasp of the mili
tary situation, all were factors ic
working out the problem. The game
j5f deceiving an enemy, as to the real
movements of an army has been
played again with rare success at
Santiago. As played it was a mag
nificent spectacle. There were .in
the foreground over sixty war ves
sels and transports. The line of
battle threatening the Spanish posi
tion was over twenty miles long.
Up to the very minute of landing
the Spaniards could not tell where
the blow would fall. But after the
landing had been 'made everyone
realized that the army had struck
the shore at just the right point.
There is a lesson in this for the
smoothbore' critics. They must
feel that General Shafter knew more
about his own business and trade
than tbey did. They should admit
that his way of being well informed
and then going ahead is better than
thai of the home strategists. There
is chance for hot work on land and
sea at Santiago. Admiral Cervera
may be inclined to divert attention
from- the Spanish army by a bold
dash with his cruisers, gunboats and
torpedo-boats. The Spanish general
may make a dash on Shafter's army
before its lines are formed for as
sault. The Americans will be pre
pared for both, and in the meantime
will push the Spaniards toward "the
beginning of the ecd:"
Gen. Blanco is annoyed because
our army does not attack him at the

Gen. Blanco's air of pretended
confidence will quickly end as soon
as Santiago falls and the march on
Havana begins. His forts at Ha
vana occasionally fire on the block
ading vessels now, because the
bockaiers refuse
ty waste their
powder on be forts. When the
army gets in the rear of Havana and
Sampson's squadron gets in front of
it, the day of doom for Blanco and
his men will come. It will undoubt
edly be found then that the forts 'at
Havana are as easy a mark for the

of the Havana forts thee days,
therefore, will not anger the Yan-i-kees.

A School Girl's
Nerves.
This record is of especial value to parents. It's a
. message from a loving mother dedicated to the mothers
of growing girls. A truthful narrative of the utmost
interest and import.
It Is important that the nerves are care
fully guarded. Mothers who have young
daughters of school age should watch their
health, more carefully than their studies.
The proper development of their bodies
is of first importance. .
After the confinement of the school,
room, plenty of out-door exercise should
be taken. It is better that children never
learn their a, b, c than that by over
study they lose their health.
All this is self-evident. Everyone atf
mits it everyone knows it, but everyone
does not know how to build the health up
when once broken down, even the best
physicians failing at times.
The following method of Mrs. Stephen
Barnes, whose, post office address is Bur
ney, lnL, if 'rightly applied, may save
your daughter.
When her daughter Lucy was at that
critical girlhood age of twelve years she
grew weak and nervous.
"Previously she had been a bright,
healthy young girl," says Mrs. Barnes,
"She was diligent and progressive in her
studies.
"It became necessary, however, for her
to leave school.
. "She was overtaxed mentally and
physically.
Her nerves were at such a tension
that the least noise irritated her.
"She had continual twitching in the
arms and lower limfes and symptoms of
St. Vitus' dance.
"Her blood was out of order she was
thin and pale, almost lifeless. In three

months she lost twenty -three pounds.
"We did everything possible for her;
and she had the best of medical treatment.
"Several skilled physicians attended
her, but no benefit was apparent.
' A family friend visiting us, told how
her daughter had been similarly affected,
but cured by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for
Pale People.
"She urged us to try the pills, and we
finally consented.
"we have always rejoiced that we did.
"The pills helped Lucy at once, and
after taking eight boxes she was entirely
cured.
"She is now in perfect health, strong,
weighs ten pounds more than ever before, .
and her cheeks are full of color.
"Two years of schooling were missed
on account of ill health, but now she can
gratify her ambition to study and become
an educated woman."
The reason that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
for Pale People were helpful in the above
case, is that they are composed of vegeta
ble remedies which act directly on the
impure blood, the foundation of disease.
As the blood rushes through all parts
of the body, the conveyer of good or bad
health, it is necessary that it should be
pure, rich and red.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills build up the
blood by supplying its life giving elements
'which nourishes the various organs, stim
ulating them to activity in the perform
ance of their functions and thus drives
disease from the system.
The pills are in universal demand and
