WILL THE AMERICAN VESSELS
CALL?
On the 10th of this month, the
Committee on Foreign Affairs of the
American House of Representatives
met, and at its request, General Scho
field and Admiral Walker gave to the
committee their views on the necessity
of acquiring the Hawaiian Islands, as
a military and naval strategic base.
Mr. Berry asked Admiral Walker
this question:
"Will an ordinary war vessel run
now from the Philippine Islands to
San Francisco and back again without
coaling?" Admiral Walker replied:
"No; they should take on coal some
where. These ship3 which it is said
are to leave San Francisco with troop3
and supplies for the Philippine Isl
ands, will have to stop at Honolulu
that is, they all will stop there."
While Admiral Walker is not the
official who directs the movements of
the vessels, he is so close to the Secre
tary of the Navy, that his statement
is almost authoritative, and we may
expect that the vessels will call at this
port.
ducting its business. They do not
suffer from .these violent attacks of
disease.
President McKinley, says, the N. Y.,
Tribune, has given the yellow journals
some advice' on the subject of war
successes. He remarked "that self
laudation and exaggeration detract
from rather than add to the brilliancy
of these achievements." He seems to
deprecate the practice of following the
Indian method of celebrating him
self, the constant repetition of "Heap
Big Injun me." The people of the
United States are divided into two
classes, one, that regards the war as
a necessary, but terrible evil, and an
other, and regards it as a prolonged
picnic, full of exciting incidents.
President McKinley, himself a
soldier, and sober from his own ex
periences, recalls the dark days which
followed the "Big Injun" days of the
first skirmishes of the Civil War and
the second thought of the Northern
people, that although they had the
resources of the world behind them,
they made little headway against a
people, who were without money, and
had to get their ammunition largely
through blockade runners.
It is fortunate that President Mc
Kinley knows the meaning of war, and
discourages the whoop of the "Big
Injun."

LIGHTING THE APPROPRIATIONS.
A large number, perhaps a majority
of the members of the House violently
attack many of the items of the appro
priation bill', after it has been care
fully prepared by the Executive and
carefully revised by the Senate.
The community will thank men who
after careful investigation, enforce
economy in the public service. But
it does not thank them, when they
fail to investigate carefully, and rash
ly strike out items of expenditures
that have been fixed by those who
are responsible for the administration
of the laws." The House sffould aid,
and not block the administration.
If the Government was suspected
of wasting the public income, or it
-was an accepted fact, that it was ex
travagant, the members would be justi
fied in putting on the brakes. There
is no belief of this kind among the
tax payers. On the other hand, it is
conceded that the Government ser
vice is carried on with singular
honesty.
The Senate has been disposed to
be critical in its review of the appro
priation bill. But it has generally ap
proved of its items.
What then is the matter with these
members of the House? The officers
of the Government, with some years
of experience in the public service,
devoting their time to its details,
desirous of improving and enlarging
it, refusing in many cases to ask for
appropriations which might well be
made for the benefit of the people, are
suddenly met by these members with
the foolish comments: "What do you
know about administration? What do
you know about the needs of the
service? Give us a dice box, and we
can throw for the amounts needed in
the public service, as accurately as
you who have been in it for years can
estimate them. We have an instinct for
grasping the needs of the Government,
that is better than all of your ex
perience." There must be some adequate cause
for this singular attitude of these
members of the House. No one, we
believe, has any doubt about their
honesty.
Perhaps, they believe that the duty
of a "statesman" is to make it hot for
the Government. Perhaps they desire
to make the Government and Senate
feel that they have a "high and solemn
duty" to perform in refusing to agree
with them.
Perhaps1, after all, it is only a case
of "fits," common to young children,
in Legislative Kindergartens, as well
as in other schools. As the most of
the members are inexperienced in the
making of laws, and the administra
tion of them, the too rapid eating of
the green fruit of "Legislative honors,
has brought on these severe "fits" of
distressing economy. In such cases
Mrs. Lydia E. Finkham's pills of pure
modesty are often beneficial. The com
munity, like a good old aunt makes
due allowance for these diseases of
Legislative childhood, and the an
noying capers of the teething period.
School will close in a few days. Until
then, it is the fervent hope of all.
that these "fits" will disappear, and
these guileless Legislative youths will
not do more damage, or make any more
faces at the Government and the
Senate than their inexperienced na
tures will permit.
It is quite remarkable too, that
some of the other inexperienced mem
bers of the House seem to instinctively
respect the experience and knowledge
of the Government in the way of con-

A Complete Cure Effected by
Hood's Sarsaparilla
Now Enjoying the Best of Health,
With Digestion Perfect.
" My mother was subiect to sick head
aches and indigestion for over a year.
She was unable to stand for any length
oi time, and was obliged to stay in a dark
room a9 she could not bear the light. She
had no appetite whatever and her stomach
was bo weak she could not retain what
food she did eat. She also had severe
pains in her head. She suffered so much
that she became but the shadow of her
self. One day I happened to read a tes
timonial about Hood's Sarsaparilla. It
Sounded So Truthful
I persuaded her to try this medicine.
Before finishing the first bottl there was
an improvement in her condition. She no
longer threw up her food and her head
ache was not as severe. She took in all
four bottles of Hood's Sarsaparilla and
several boxes of Hood's Pills and regained
her weight. She is now enjoying tne best
of health. Her digestion is good and she
can eat almost anything she wishes. She
is 42 years old and says Bhe feels as well
as when she was 16. Hood's Sarsaparilla
made a complete cure in her case."
