A HAPPY ENDING.
The destruction of the Maine, be
fore tbe recent Spanish-American
war was laid at the door of Spanish
officials, representing the Spanish
government, and Spain, was held ac
countable for the disaster. This in
cident brought on more abruptly a
contest which was to be waged, and
no amount of juggling could have
avoided it. It was a terrible piece
of treachery. The common murderer
and incendiary pales in complete in
significance when a comparison is
made. In fact, it made the civilized
world stand aghast in horror. It
brought to the support of America
the moral aid of Anglo-Saxon blood,
because a principle was at stake.
They were desirous of knowing if a
war ship, on a friendly mission to a
government with which it was at
place, could be blown into atoms aud
that outrage go unpunished.
"While it is doubtful if the destruc
tion of the Maine was accomplished
by Spaniards having any great au
thority, yet Americans are prone to
judge tbe whole Spanish race by the
act of a man, or men, worse than
criminals. The various reports from
Spanish provinces served to clothe
that opinion substantially, and "rob
ber" and "murderer" were, in the
minds of the many, synonyms for
Spanish character. That these un
fortunate colonies have been mis
ruled and badly governed is evident.
That the Spanish were unfortunate in
having as Eubjects in many of these
colonies, a leDheroAs, villainous set,
totally incapable of self government,
ignorant, treacherous, opposed to
governmental restraint, is now very
well known. The incidents of the
military rcanouvers of Manila and of
Santiago clinch the above statement
as an absolute fact. However, there
were greater principles at stake than
the interests of the native population
of the islands, and no doubt the high
and noble intentions of our grand,
free government may tend to en
lighten these warring rebel bands,
and influence them to respect and
support a government whose very
name is known from pole to pole,
from ocean to ocean and from one
continent to the other, as the noblest
inspiration of liberty, and whose
mission has been to crown honest
effort with the reward that it de
serves; a country that has whispered
freedom to its j'oung subjects as they
battled against the mother country;
that released the shackles from tbe
ankles of the slave; that has done
noble things in the world's history
that will ever remain as the guiding
star ot every liberty-loving human
being.
Yet Spain has noble men. We
refer our readers to the action ot
Admiral Cervera towards our heroes.
Since his detainment in America,
Americans by the thousands have
praised his noble action and humane
principles. But Spain has mes, not
in the higher ranks. "We will - call
attention to the letter of a Spanish
private, which appeared in these
columns yestercla, and which has
became a document of this govern
ment, to remain as one pleasant
memory of a hard, well-fought con
test. That private, representing
11,000 Spanish soldiers, poured forth
his soul in language that would Lave
graced the grandest king on his
throne, in his endeavor to thank the
America u soldiers, and our govern
ment, for the excellent treatment
accorded, both sick and well of the
vanquishe.l. No doubt this was a
revelation to the average Spanish
soldier who bad been kept in ignor
ance, but there is one man of them j
who had the courage and manliness j
to come forth, representing his !
comrades, and proclaim the truth.
The victors who charged the forts
and trenches, filled with Spanish
soldiers, to the cry of "Remember
the Maine," can now feel that every
Spaniard is not bad and capable of
so grave a crime as the destruction
of a vessel on a peaceful mission,
filled with sleeping men. And when
the day closes on the last event of
the recent war, may the kind and
noble thoughts of a private soldier
help to complete a peace tbat is the
end of a contest which has been rich
in lessons to civilized humanity, and
which has taught our adversaries
that tbe American soldier, the grand
est type of warrior, can be as mag
nanimous as he is brave.
Persons troubled with diarboea will
be interested in the experience of W. M.
Bush, clerk of the hotel Dorrance, Prov
idence, R. I. He says : "For several
years 1 have been almost a constant suf
ferer from diarrhoea, the frequent at
tacks completely prostrating me and
rendering me unfit for my duty at this
hotel. About two years ago a traveling
salesman kindly gave me a small bottle
of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and
Diarhoea Remedy. . Much to my sur
priee and delight its effects were imme
diate. Whenever I felt symptoms of the
disease I would fortify myself against
the attack with a few doses of this val
ueabla remedy. The result has been
very satisfactory and almost complete
relief from the affliction." For sale by

About one month ago my child, which
is fifteen months old, had an attack of
diarrhoea accompanied by vomiting. I
gave it such remedies aa are usually
given in such cases, but as nothing gave
relief, we sent for a physician and it was
under his care for a week. At this time
the child had been sick for about ten
days and was having about twenty-five
operations of the bowels every twelve
hours, and we were convinced that un
less it Eoon obtained relief it would not
live. Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy was recommended,
and I decided to try it. I soon noticed a
change for the better; by its continued
use a complete cure was brought about
and it is now perfectly healthy. C. L.
