The Official Paper orSanlian Connty.
THURSDAY. APRIL J4th, 1898.
Another week has passed and our
war with Spain is still one of words
only. Let us hope that the American
eagle may continue indefinitely to flap
his wings from his lofty pearch in
peace.
The Spanish are manifesting a rather
needless amount of concern about
"Spanish honor" nowadays, for a na
tion in whose whole history of blood
shed, cruelty, tyranny and corruption
honor has had ho small a place.
The quarterly statement of the
county treasurer shows that during the
quarter ending March 31, taxes of 1897
to the amount of nearly $4,000 were
paid. Of this amount nearly three
fourths was made up of personal taxes.
It isn't often that any nation has the
aiTrontry to ask another to withdraw
its naval vessels from its own territory,
but when it comes to exhibitions of
that sort the United States is ready to
concede Spain's qualifications for ap
pearing in the leading role. Mean
while our southern fleet remains in the
vicinity of Key West.
Thk customs receipts of the Puget
Hound district for the first nine months
of the fiscal year ending June 30th next
show an increase of over 40 per cent
over the same period of the preceding
fiscal year and a decrease of about 10
per cent in the cost of collecting the
revenues. The March receipls were
much the largest of any month in the
history of the district.
The statistician of the department of
agriculture says the farmers in 1897 got
$130,000,000 more for their cereals than
they did in 1890, aud $80,000,000 more
than in any other year since 1892.
The farm animals increased to the ex
tent of $236,000,000 in 1897, and the
gain in the entire agricultural interest
of the country in 1897 over 1896 is put
at $300,000,000. No such increase as
this in twelve months has been scored
in many years. Farmers are paying
off their mortgages at a rapid rate and
nre not doing much shouting for free
trade or iiat money.
No matter how low the metropolitan
papers may make their subscription
rates, they cannot occupy the local field
or take the place of the local paper,
says an exchange. The metropolitan
paper does not attempt to serve the
people of the community in the same
relation as the local paper. The latter
not only records the news of common
est interest to every citizen, but it is
the champion of the community. It
fights its battles, offensive and defen
sive, and holds a personal relation to
every reader that no paper published
outside the community can ever hope
to hold. It has a special value, not
measured by the standard of one-cent
pieces, because it is the local paper.
The character of the local paper is an
unfailing reflex of the people them
selves aud on that account the people
owe it to themselves to give it heartiest
support and eucoufagement.
The Philadelphia Record publishes
ftu interesting table showing how silver
has declined in price during the past
two years, while farm prices continue
to advance. This is in precise contra
diction of the arguments and prophecies
of the friends of free silver coinage.
The course of the markets as repre
sented by prices is shown in the follow-

"The 'appreciation of gold' ought to
send wheat, pork and wool down the
toboggan slide with silver, or at least
counteract favorable market and tariff
conditions; {but fact and theory do not
pull together. The general improve
ment in industriat%onditions is also
unexplainable on the 200 cent dollar
basis argument."

The new county superintendent may
be proud of the fact that he bears the
same name as one of the revolutionary
heroes of New England. Soon after
the outbreak of the great war for inde
pendence Col. Ethan Allen, then 29
years old, at the head of a small force
of "Green Mountain Boys," captured
Forts Tioonderoga and Crown Point,
the most important posts of the British
in Eastern New York. It was about
daybreak that the little force of brave
men enteredjTiconderoga and com
pelled the ajAhished sentinel, without
firing a single gun, to arouse the sleep
ing commander and bid him come
forth ana^Hnrrender the fort. When
that officer, but partly dressed, ap
peared and asked by what authority
the: surrender was demanded. Allen
answered, "By the authority of the
Great Jehovah and the Continental
Congress." The commandant was not
prepared to oppose such a combination
as that and the demand was promptly
complied with.
The War In Cuba Mast Stop.
The president's message was given to
Congress at high noon Monday. The
matter is left with Congress, but the
president is ready to carry out its
wishes. In part the president says:
"The long trial has proved that the
object for which Spain has waged war
cannot be attained. The fire of insur
rection may flame or may smoulder
with varying seasons, but it has not
been and it is plain that it cannot be
extinguished by present methods. The
only hope of relief and repose from a
condition which cannot longer be en
dured is the enforced pacification of
Cuba. In the name of humanity, in
the name of civilization, in behalf of
endangered American interests, which
give us the right and the duty to speak
and to act, the war in Cuba must stop;
in view of these facts and these consid
erations, I ask the Congress to author
ize and empower the president to take
measures to secure a full termination
of hostilities between the government
and the people of Cuba and to secure
in the island the establishment of a
stable government, capable of main
taining order and observing its inter
national obligations, insuring peace and
tranquillity and the security of its citi
zens as well as our own and to use the
military and naval forces of the United
States as may be necessary for these
purposes, and in the interest of human
ity and to aid in preserving the lives of
the starving people of the island, I
recommend that the distribution of
food and supplies be continued and
that an appropriation be made out of
the public treasury to supplement the
charity of our citizens.
"The issue is now with Congress; it
is a solemn responsibility. I have ex
hausted every effort to relieve the in
tolerable condition of affairs which is
at our doors; prepared to execute every
obligation imposed upon me by the
constitution and law, 1 await your ac
tion.
"Yesterday and since the preparation
of the foregoing message, official in
formation was received that the latest
decree of the queen regent of Spain di
rects General Blanco, in order to pre
pare and facilitate peace, to proclaim a
suspension of hostilities, the duration
and details of which have not yet been
communicated to me. This fact, with
every other pertinent consideration
will, I am sure, have your careful and
just attention in the solemn delibera
tions upon which you are about to
enter. If this measure attains a suc
cessful result, then our aspirations as a
Christian, peace-loving people will be
realized; if it fails, it will only be an
other justification for our contemplated
action." . _^_^

ONE OF TWO WAYS.
The bladder was created for one pur
pose, namely, a receptacle for the urine,
and as such it is not liable to any form
of disease except by one of two ways.
The first way is from imperfect action of
the kidneys. The second way is from
careless local treatment of other diseases.
CHIEF CAUSE.
Unhealthy urine from unhealthy kid
neys is the chief cause of bladder troubles.
So the womb, like the bladder, was creat
ed for one purpose, and if not doctored
too much is not liable to weakness or dis
ease, except in rare cases. It is situated
back of and very close to the bladder,
therefore any disease pain, disease or in
convenience manifested in the kidneys,
back, bladder or urinay passage is often,
by mistake, attributed to female weak
ness or womb trouble of some sort. The
error is easily made and may be as easily
avoided. To find out correctly, set your
urine aside for twenty-four hours; a sedi
ment or settling indicates kidney or blad
der trouble. The mild and the extraor
dinary effect of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-
Root, the great kidney, and bladder
remedy is soon realized. If you need
a medicine you should have the best.
