The confusion ot voices from the
Philippine commission has set the
country thinking, and republicans are
feeling great anxiety about what is to
come when the slaughter ceasee in the
islands, says the San Francisco Call
While war is on, reason is subordinated
to its excitement, to its revenges, to its
sentiment of glory and its pomp and
circumstance (outBhine all else. But
what is to come after war IB over will
determine the final sentiment of the
country. We make quips and jokes
now over the capture of Senora Again
aldo's wardrobe and her flight to the
mountains, carrying a week-old baby.
But when we overcome the Filippinos,
as we will, and catch Aguinaldo, as we
will, what are we going to do? We
have been driven into the position of
treating him as a traitor. Will we
shoot our prisoner or will the republic
have an exile? Will we banish him
and have our banished subject on some
island, as England had Bonaparte and
the king of Delhi and Arabi Pasha?

Evidently the Iowan is no band for
oleomargarine even in times when real
butter is high. According to an ad
vance sheet of the dairy commissioner's
thirteenth annual report soon to be Is
Bued, there is bnt one retailer of oleo
margarine in Iowa. As is well known,
those who sell the preparation most
deal it out from receptacles so marked
in large letters, and placards on the
wall in bold faced type must tell the
story again. Host of the stuff is purer
than some butter that is sold In the
market for It is made of beef suet and
other harmless ingredients and not from
stale lard, as is generally believed. It
will retail at ten cents per pound, when
real butter Is selling beside it at thirty
cents.

Neither Spain or Saxony has as good

Within recent years those physicians
who have made a specialty o( diseases
ef the stomach bare become convinced
that the only satisfactory method of
treating a great variety of stomach
troubles Is by washing out the stom
ach. This little performance Is car
ried out by means of a flexible soft
rubber tube, swallowed by the patient
At the other end of the tube Is a rub
ber funnel, and when the stomach
tube has reached the stomaoh warm
water or some medicated fluid Is pour

a thorough cleaning.

Disagreeable Indeed the process Is at

of the Introduction of the tube the p»
Heat has often to be held down forci
bly to his seat. Then, curious to state,
the dyspeptic gets used to the stomach
tube and even begins to like It The
cranks express such a longing fer
that long after they are cured of their
trouble they go on using the stomach
pump once, twice or even three times
a day. They haunt the physician's of
