THE COUNTRY'S PROSPERITY.
For five years this country Las
been economizing. For five years it
lias been producing and selling more
than it has bought and consumed
. As a nesessarr consequence it has
rapidly grown rich.
During the last fiscal year, which
ended June SOib, our exports were
so much heavier than our imports
that we received more than a hun
dred millions of gold in settlement
of the difference and slill have heavy
credits abroad to draw upon.
The figures are complete for eleven
months and are easily estimated for
June. Tney show that we sold to
other nations during the year no less
than $1,200,000,000 of our products,
while we bought from them only
$600,000,000 worih of their goods.
In other words, after making all al
lowances,' this country is richer by
about half a billion dollars or more
than its entire paper currency than
it was one year ago.
A great part of the increase of ex
ports was in agricultural products,
and therefore a creat part of the
enormous 'profit has gone to enrich
the farmers. But there has also been
a. mast encouraging increase in the
value of our manufactured goods
exported. The figures for the fiscal
year ending June 30, 1897, were
$276,357,801 ; for this year they will
very nearly reach $290,000,000.
The best of it all is that the favor
able conditions continue. The later
months of the fiscal year show a con
tinued and even an increased tend
ency to sell more than we buy, a
continued and increased export of
manufactures, and the agricultural
promise is thai we shall have even
greater crops to maket this year than
last
Hard times have como to an end.
Even war has not been able to check
the general prosperity.
city was decorated with the United
States flag. When the troops went
ashore they were feasted and received
everywhere with manifestations of
the most cordial good will and gen
erous hospitality. If the soldiers
had been out on a . holiday as the
special guests of the little republic,
no greater pains could have been
taken to make the occasion enjoya
ble. ,
There cannot be the least doubt
concerning the feeling toward annex
ation on the part of 90-100ths of the
Hawaiians ' They have weighed the
question and taken their stand final
ly for a, future share in the institu
tions of the United States, the near
est neighbor able' to protect them,
and the one whose form of govern
ment best suits their aspirations.
A Honolulu paper speaks of Ha
waii as hitherto "a waif upon the
waters of the Pacific," but soon to
be a community of "tree citizens of
the sieatest republic the world has
ever seen." This destiny is now as
sured. The logic of events, as often
happens, has outrun legislation. Ha
waii has most willingly given our
armed ships a friendly haven, coal
ing facilities and all supplies that
were wanted. Its welcome to the
troops was thrown in for good meas
ure. By' taking this course it incurs
the enmity of Spain, and a responsi
bility to other powers for any dam
age to their property on the islands
that Spam may inflict. In accepting
such important and comprehensive
favors from an independent state,
the United States is morally bound
to protect it from . resulting danger
and injurv. Hawaii, in a military
sens'e, has become as much our- ward
as if it had been annexed. The sen
sible course, new that the .vote has
passed the senate, is to face our duty
with a perfect understanding of its
nature.
A STRIKING CONTRAST.
THE MODERN COMMANDER.
During the past few weeks the
most interesting personage in the
United States has been Gen. Sbafter,
the commander of the expedition
against Santiago. The interest in
Iiis personality was intensified by the

Vtiicb especially illusfcates his capa
fr. Without saying anything
.atont it, he added to bts equipment
.-a inyodern French army balloon.
This has enabled him to get an accu
rate idea of the Santiago defenses.
This is a significant incident, al
though the use of the balloon in war
is not a novelty. In our civil war
Gen. McClellen had a regular balloon
staff attached to his command, and
'the balloon was in use during the
fholeofthe war. During the siege
Yif Paris in 1870-71 not less than
aixty-four ascensions were made
from the beleaguered city, the most
notable being the one which enabled
Gambetta to escape and organize the
national defense. But the more re
cent use of the balloon, with the ad
dition of photographic outfit and
telegraphic communication, has been
infrequent, and the recognition of
its possibilities "by Gen. Sbafter
hows that he is an up-to-date com-
taander.
THE HAWAIIAN WELCOME.
. Tt has been urged by the oppo
nents of the annexation of Hawaii
that the inhabitants of the islands,
taken as a whole, bad no desire 10
become citizens of the United Stales.
This cannot longer be used as an ar-

Manila stopped a few days at Hono
lulu and were greeted with general
enthusiasm. All classes joined in
. the greeting with general enthusiasm.
All classes joined in the greeting,

It is stated that when the Spanish
war vessels steamed out of Santiago
harbor the officers stood over gun
ners, engineers and seamen with re
vol vers in nana, .bvery man Was
urged to do his utmost by threat of
instant death. The gunners were
urged to fire rapidly, with little at
tention to accuracy. All the men
were held to. their p'aces during the
battle, not by appeals to their patri
otism nor their pride, but by threats.
This affords a most ' remarkable
contrast to the conduct of American
seamen under similar circumstances.
When Dewey went into Manila har
bor the risk was supposed to be as
great as that facing Cervera when
he eteamefl out of Santiago barbor,
but not a single man in all of Dew
ey s fleet nesitated for an instant in
doing bis full duty. Everywhere
there was eagerifejg and entbssrasm
The men had to be restrained rather
than nrged forward.
This bus been tb rule in every
engagement in which- the navy has
participated. The nen are even
more eager than the officers for bat
tle. Tbey are as ready as the offiesrs
for all sorts of adventure and dar
ing exploit. They are under excel
lent discipline and have been welt
trained. But, independent of this
it is the traditional spirit of the navy
that influences every man to do bis
best without Urging.
Soon after the battle of Manila
Admiral Dewey said in an interview
that the first lesson taught by that
battle was that naval battles are de
cided more by the quality of the
guns and the skill of the men serving
them than anything else. Tbe sec
ond lesson, he said, was the value of
skilled men behind the guns, or, in
fact, on board ship, whether these'
mn be , officers or seamen. He
would be inclined to sty now that a
third lesson was in the magnificent
spirit' and patriotism of the officers
and men. With good vessels, good
guns and good men behind the guns,
the American navy is invincible.
Spanish soldiers carry the Mauser
rifles of a little lighter caliber than
the rifles used by tbe Americans, but
considered by the Europeans one of
the very best in use. Effective
shooting has certainly been done on
both sides.
The lessons of the battle point par
ticularly to the good marksmanship
of tbe sharpshooters and to the use
of smokeless powder. Oue theory
was that the use of smokeless powder
in battle would be of advantage
mainlv in the clearly view U would
give the officers of their. own men
and of tbe enemy. It was held that
the advantage of the old powder was
that it would, by surrounding the
field, give the men greater courage
and prevent the enemy trorn seeing
them.
The experience at Santiago upsets
this this theory, in one particular at
least. The American troops who
used the smokeless powder in firing
from the brush escaped the observa
tion of the enemy, while those who
used the old powder became at once
the target of the enemy. The smoke
from the rifles showed where the
line was and the enemy fired at tbe
smoke. '
After all that has been said of im
proved rifles, the experience at San
tiago shows thai more depends upon
tbe. man behind the gun than upon
the gun itself. Familiarity with bis
rifle, practice in firing, and discipline
that gives him a cool head make the
soldier effective in battle.
PERSONAL HKXTIOIT.
The war is estimated to cost $2,-
000,000 a day, but then the loss of
Cuban trade amounted to $100,000,
000 a year, to say ncthing of other
expenses and troubles connected
with the endless insurrections against
Spanish misrule in America.

There ia more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all othe diseases put
together, and until the last few years
was supposed to be incurable. For a
great many years doctors pronounced it
a local disease, and prescribed local
remedies, and by constantly failing to
core with local treatment, , pronounced
it incurable. - Science has proyen catarrh
tobe a constitutional disease, and there
fore requires constitutional treatment.
Hall's Catarrah Cure, manufactured , by
F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the
only constitutional cure on the market.
It is taken internally in doses from ten
drops to a teaspoonfal. It acts directly
on the blood and mucous surfaces of the

Woman's
Burden.
This is a story of a woman addressed, to women. It
is a plain statement of facts too strong in themselves
to require embellishment too true to be doubted, too in
structive to be passed over by any woman who appre
ciates the value of good health.
The Women of to-day are not as strong
as their grandmothers.
They are bearing a burden in silence
that grows heavier day by day; that is
sapping their vitality, clouding their hap
piness, weighing them down with the woe
of ill health.
Mrs. Alexander B. Clark, of 417 Michi
gan Avenue, Detroit, is a typical woman
of to-day. - A wife with such ambition as
only a loving wife can have. But the
joys of her life were marred by the ex
istence of disease.
Suffering as thousands of her sisters have
suffered, she almost despaired oi life and
yet she was cured.
To-day she is well t
She wants others to profit fcy her ex
perience; to grow well ; to enjoy health ;
to be as happy as she is.
"For five years I suffered with ovarian
trouble," is Mrs. Clark's own version of
the story. "I was not free one single day
from headache and intense twitching pains
in my neck and. shoulders.
"For months at a time I would be con
fined to my bed.
."At times black spots would appear
before my eyes and I would become blind.
My nerves were in such a state that a step
on the floor unsettled me.
" Eminent doctors, skillful aunts, the
best food and medicine all failed. Then,
I consented to an operation. That, too,
failed and they said another one was nec
essary. Alter the second l was worse
than ever and the world was darker than
before.
"It was then I heard of Dr. "Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People. C ''flj
"I heard that they had cured cases hkc
mine and I tried them. rauiw-' h
u They cured me ! They brought Wfl
sbine to my life, and filled my cup 'with
happiness. m
The headache is gone; the twitching
is gone; the nervousness is gone; tie
trembling has ceased, and I have gained
twenty-six pounds. wt &tM
"Health and strength is mine and rain
thankful to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for
Pale People for the blessing.'' fc M
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have prove? a
boon to womankind. Acting directly on
the blood and nerves, they restore the
requisite vitality to all parts of the body,
creating functional regularity and perfect
harmony throughout the nervous system.
The pallor of the cheeks is changed to
the delicate blush of health ; the eyes bright- .
en; the muscles grow elastic, ambition it
created and good health returns.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold by all
druggists, who universally consider them
the most important remedial agent they
have to disrjense.
