XINCOLWS PLEA FOR 3TKINLET.
It is pleasant to 'note that the hos
tile and entirely uncalled for criti
cisca of President McKinley regard
iag bis actions in the Spanish trouble.
ha entirely subsided
Part of it was '
undignified, part was cruel. Few
people realize what a fearful respon
sibility rests upon the head of a na
tion in time of war, and it is coward-j-
to criticize unless we absolutely
kcow that grounds for it exist. In
this connection the following anec
dote of President Lincoln illustrates
the force of what we are saying.:
At the "White House one day some
gentlemen were present from the
West, excited and troubled about
tbe commissions or omissions of the
administration. Tbe president heard
then patiently, and then replied:
Gentlemen, suppose all the property
you were worth was in gold, and you
bad put it in the bands of Blondin to
carry across the 2siagara river on a
rope, would you shake tbe cable or
Iteep shouting out to him, 'Blondin,
stand up a little straigbter! Blondin
stoop a little more; go a little faster;
lean a little more to the north ; lean
a little more to the south ?' Iso; you
would hold your breath as well as
your tongue, and keep your hands
of -until he was cafe over. The gov
craaent are carrying an immense
weight. Untold treasures arc iu
their hands. They are doing the
-very best they can. Don'tTiadger
them. Keep silence, and we'll get
you safe across."
NEED OF COALING STATIONS.
Tn the shipping world the problem
of coaling is becoming increasingly
important Only one power Great
Britain has solved it in a satisfac
tory manner. It is largely in the.
adequate establishment of a great
aamber of coaling stations that ber
commercial and naval strength lies.
This has recently been so effectively
demonstrated in the Far East that
Kassin, Germany rnd France are
losing no time in following such a
good example. Gieat Britain is
aaperby equipped, especially in com
parison with) Spain, for instance.
Qae port in Porto Rico and a few in
Cuba are all that Spain can count on,
mad their united supply is reported
to be insufficient to coal the Spain
mb fleet for more than two months.
For many years those who repre
BMt "the forward policy" have urged
upon our government that we not
oaly need coaling stations on the
islands to the southeast, but that our
Baling stations on tbe Hawaiian
islands must be preserved at all haz
riris. Captain Maban thinks an in
violable resolution of our national
policy ought to be that no foreign
state fbould heLceforth acquire' a
eoaling station within three thousand
miles of Sau Francisco
Have the free Bilver orators re
vised their argument that the price
of wheat depends upon that of silver?
If not, they will be at a sad disad
vantage in the present campaign,
whem wheat has soared above the
dollar mark, while silver refuses to
beep the! ct. The selling rate of
-rrhsat depends entirely upon the
Ja of supply and demand, as every
tuipcst thinker always contended it
.

ernmcnt that it is vanquished ; and
this acknowledgment mnst be ac
companied by an agreement to pay
a war indemnity which shall reim
burse us for the expense incurred in
prosecuting the war. No- amount of
gold can atone for the murder of the
brave sailor lads that night in Ha-
.vana harbor. .For such a deed Spain
i will be condemned by the judgment .
of Listorv.
There are plenty of Deweys in the
American navy if chance but call
them out. The deeds of that brave
commander are worthy the highest
praise by his countrymen. Tbe op
portunity was presented him and he
seized it, just as the other command
ers will do when tbe time comes.
The Shakers of Mount Lebanon, a
community of simple, honest, God-fearing
men and women, have prepared tbe
Shaker Digestive Cordial for many years,
and it is always tbe same, simple, hon-
est, curative medicine that has helped
to make tbe Shakers tbe healthy, long
lived people tbnt they arc. The Shak
ers never have indigestion. This is
partly owing to their simple mode of
life, partly to the wonderfnl properities
of Shaker Digestive Cordial. Indiges
tion is caused by the stomach glands not
supplying enongh digestive juice.
Shaker Digestive Cordial supplies what's
wanting. Shaker Digestive Cordial in
vigorates the stomach and all its glands
so that after awhile they don't need
help. As evidence of the honesty! of
Shaker Digestive Cordial, the formula
is printed on every bottle. Sold by
druggists, price 10 cents to $1.00a bottle.
