Mr. Cameron, who la Just fad Ing from the senate, leads the war par ty, and every allvertte and exponent of Western or Southern sectionalism Is furious In the belief of all the fiction that can be made up In Florida looking to war. A circular has been sent from New York to all the senators at Wash ington colling attention to the stock speculation going on In nssoolati -n with the Spanish war score sensations, ami r marking: "The real bear card, however, Is this: That every Intelligent silver senator now sees his party's first and only great chance of success seems bent upon pressing Spain Into declaring w ar.

There Is a complaint among Amerl cans directly and personally interested In the extension of our foreign trade that the consular service of the United States Is phenomenally Inefficient They find the consuls, in many places, utterly Indifferent to the Interests they are ap pointed to subserve, or else Incompetent to do things which are clearly within the scope, of their official duties. The trouble Is, that the wave of Cleveland Ism swept out of the service the Repub licans then In office, and replaced them by a Job lot of the cheapest politicians, especially In the minor places. These men know nothing of business methods. have no real conception of what they might do to promote the commercial In terests of this country, and are Incom petent to carry out these objects, even If they understood them. A consul Is a commercial agent. His business Is like that of a commercial traveler to drum up business for the United States, and to seek extension of our trade In the district under his charge. He should have a good business bead, un derstand the qualities and values of the goods sent from his district to this country, that he may be able to certify that they are not undervalued In the in voices, and should be able to write re ports involving research, and present the results in intelligent form. Our consuls abroad are not men of this stamp, as a rule. And, worse than all, by putting the bulk of the consular of fices under civil service rules, Cleveland has prepared a lot of "soft berths" for The dressing of eoililsh Is nn opera tion of skill and rnpKllty.

In this last exhibition these senators have shown a disregard for precedents, facts, national honor, national inter ests and moral responsibilities that shamefully disgraces the high positions they occupy. Springfield Republican. KftKi: The ; 'Ail' WAR fact is conspicuous hofnra th eountry. says the Brooklyn Standard Union, that the mcst ra:nnt cf l'ia war breeders In Washlngto are the silver eenators-the statesnen who have for several years been eigaged In machinations to force free slber coin age upon the country by holdiiK Up the law-making power. There hai been a senatorial and free silver consflracy. It has attempted to blackmail the Repub lican party, and It has succeeded through the peculiarities of th presi dent in breaking up the Democratic party. Mr. Cleveland did not under stand the country, and did not know the fatalities of bis style of reforn. He has done three great robust thligs to balance a large and long account of mistakes. He refused toleration o the silver fanaticism; he used the amy to restore order when an insurrection 0r- gaaizea at unioago Had spread half across the continent, and he did not ask permission of Governor Altgeld; and he has written a message that (re sents the case of Cuba fairly, without demagogy; and If congress is capable f minding its own business It will leave Ihe Cuban question to the McKlnley administration without embarrassment. The president's greater weaknesses were In believing the melancholy mug wump stories that two or thr(,e speeches had smashed the silver craz, and at the time when there was regular missionary work for free silver gointt on in nearly all the states, Cleveland was so mugwumped he oould not use the power of his administration to fight' with patronage for. tha possession- of FREE TO EVERY MAN THE METHODS OF A GREAT TREATMENT FOR WEAKNESS OF MEN. Which Cured Him .-iter Everything Else Failed. Painful diseases are bad enough, but .vhen a man Is slowly wasting away with nervous weakness, the mental forebodings are ten times worse than the most severe pain. There Is no let up to the mental suffering day or night. Sleep Is almost impossible, and under such a strain men are scarcely respon sible for what they do. For years the writer rolled and tossed on the troubled sea of sexual weakness until it was a question whether he had not better take a dose of poison and thus end all his troubles. But providential inspira tion came to his aid In the shape of a combination of medicines that not only completely restored the general health, but enlarged his weak, emaciated parts to natural size and vigor, and he now declares that any man who will take the trouble to send his name and ad dress may have the method of this won derful treatment free. Now when I say free I mean absolutely without tost, because I want every weakened man to get the benefit of my experience. I am not a philanthropist, nor do I pose as ail enthusiast, but there are thousands of men suffering the mental tortures of weakened manhood who would be cured at once could they but get sJch a remedy as the one that cured me. Do not try to study out how I can afford to pay the few postage stamps necessary to mall the Informa tion, but send for it, and learn that there are a few things on earth that al though they Jcost nothing to get they are worth a Jortune to some men and mean a llfetne of happiness to most of us.
