"It pained nia when we got into San

the names of the 15 Americana from the
Torktown. From Colonel Ry, the
Spanish officer whom we rescued,
teamed that one of the American pris
oners escaped from hit captors. His
liberty was short lived, for he Vas re-
eaptured. He was stretched on the
ground before bis fellow-prisoners and
20 lashes were given lo him.
"We found a letter near San Isidro,
written by one of the Yorktown's crew,
saying that they were being kicked, that
their hair was being pulled out and that
they wore cruelly treated in various
other ways, and prnyinit their fellow
countrymen to hurry to their release.
The insurgents make a practice of mur
dering Chinamen who fall into their
hands, and our men, I suppose, should
consider themselves fortunate that thev

report:
It being the desire of the memhers of
the Auxiliary Relief corps to extend to
Captain Li L. Pickens a public reception
in recognition of his services to his coun

Upon consultation with Captain Pick

pressed a request that the reception be
deferred .until his comrades who are
now bearing the burden and heat of 'lie
batle and sickness in Manila return to
their homes and then he should feel
highly honored to participate in a recep

We, your committee, beg leave to re

Captain Pickens and move you that the
above report be adopted, and the heart
felt congratulations of this relief corps be
extended to him with a hope that he will
soon recover big health and that we will

Written tor the nourler-llerald by Argiu.J
The primary rulos of arithmetic teach
es that we cannot measure the concrete
by the abstract ; we could not take away
5 horses from 15, but we could take
away 5 horses from 15 horses, and to
measure concrete numbers they must be
of the same nature; we cannot divide 15
horses by 5 cows, but we can divide 15
cows by 5 cows.
To measure length we must have a
standard possessing length, and to
measure weight we must have one pos
sessing weight.
In measuiing values we must like
wise have a standard possessing value
I am aware that value itself is only an
idea and is abstract, but like numbers,
when applied to an object becomes con
crete, and therefore, whether intrinsic
or extraneous, the value of gold and Bil
ver is as real as any other idea, such as
length, when applied to an object. The
inherent qualities and limited produc
tions are farge factors in the value of
gold and silver which may however be
largely augmented by their legal status.
But whatever be the nature of value,
is customs ry to speak of any commodity
to which the term can be applied, as
possessing valueand as it is convenient
and customary, there is no reasonable
objections to Bpeak of these money met
als as possessing value just as we say f
yard Btick posesses length and iron pos
Besses weight.
We must have something of value to
measure values, and we could no more
use a paper standard than we could
measure the length of a house by a
mathematical point, or something by
nothing.
It does not follow that a country
could not do without gold and silver
Canada has the gold standard without
the gold, doing all her business, internal
and external, practically with nothing
but token money.
Other things have been discussed,
metaphysically, as a basis of measure of
values, such as an average value of our
loading commodities, but it lias not yet
been possible to substitute anything for
gold and Bilver that would make a real
money sullicient for the world's progress
and development.
it is oi vital importance ttiat we
comprehend the fundamental difference
between real or basic money and repre
sentative or credit money. A man worth
say, one thousand dollars all told, could
deposit the money in the bank and
make checks on it for a thousand dollars
but if he claimed to be worth two thouB'
and dollars, 1000 gold and 1000 checks.
you would say he was only fit for the
lunatic assylum.
And yet this ia the foolish way we
reckon our per capita, so much gold, ail
ver and uncovered paper. Gold advo
cate claim on the one hand that we
have largely increased our per capita
under the gold standard, and on the
other that paper and silver are not
money, but only credit substitutes for
money.

A Salem man writing home from
Manila complains of a lack of recog
nition of the splendid services of the
Oregon regiment by our people. There
is no occasion for this. From one end
of the state to the other the people are
sounding their praise, and when they
return home they will be satisfied with
the genuineness of the appreciation for
what they have done and the bravery
displayed by them. Albany Democrat.
P. V. Dieckman writes from Manila,
on April 9, as follows: "I was sent here
just a week ago today for dysentery.
Five Company I boys, including the
first sergeant, came down with Robt.
Wilcox and myself, but I haven't heard
how they are getting along. The of
ficers get along all right; why shouldn't
they drawing from $125 per month and
upward, according to their rank? While
a private gets $15.60 with "red horse'
and hard tack to balance, and every
thing to do, He carries 260 rounds of
ammunition, besides two days' rations,
and if he don't carry it, though the heat
may be 105 degrees in the shade, while
going on double quick time, he goes
without. And whenever a camp is es
tiblished the men are shut in, while the
officers go at will. If a private goes
out be gets a $15 00 fine and maybe the
guard house, Here is an example:
During the recent tight at Malabon, a
man in my company wae nearly ex
hausted, being of a weakly nature, and
when the command, "forward, double
time 1" was given, he was rather slow
in rising, so Ool. Summers just gave
him a gentle kick in the rear. And as
I was going to say, whenever a camp
is formed the officers provide for them
selves, and in doing this they give their
orderlies h-ll for not being more promp

His Life Was Saved.
Mr. J. E. Lilly, a prominent citizen of
Hannibal, Mo., lately had a wonderful
deliverence from a frightful death. In
telling of it he says : "I was taken with
Typhoid Fever.that ran into Pneumonia.
My lungs became hardened. I was so
weak I couldn't even sit up in bed.
Nothing helped me. I expected to soon
die of Consumption, when I heard of
Dr. King's New Discovery. One bottle
gave great relief. I continued to use it,
and now am well and Btrong. I can't

How To Find Out-
Fill a bottle or common glass with
your water an d let it stand twenty-four
hours; a sediment or settling indicates
an unhealthy condition of the kidneys;
if it stains your linen it is evidence of
kidnev trouble ; too frequent desire to
pass it or pain in the back is aleo con
vincing proof that the kidneys and blad
der are out of order.
WHAT TO DO.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's
Swamp Root, the great kidney remedy
fulfills every wish in curing rheumatism,
pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder
and every part of the urinary passage.
It corrects inability to hold water and
scalding pain in passing it, or bad effects
following use of liquor, wine or beer, and
overcomes that unpleasant necessity of
being compelled to go often-during the
day, and to get up many times during
the night. The mild and the extraordi
nary eflect of Swamp-Root is soon real-
i ized. It stands the highest for its won
dei ful cures of the most distressing case?.
If vou need a medicine you should have
the best. Sold by druggists in iifty
