R. M. ROGERS,
Pres. Chamber of Commerce.
The Financial Situation and the Market.
“There has been a good head somewhere,
In the management of affairs at Washing
ton, to which the country and people are
indebted for the great success of our arms
and for the almost certainty of an early
cessation of hostilities and a declaration of
lienee.” This is the opinion of the well
known banking house of Hambleton & Co.,
of Baltimore. They go on to say:
Considering what has been accomplished
ami the splendid position of the country,
incident to the magnitieent results of the
war. it is simply disgraceful that criticisms
should be had of the few mistakes made,
ilt is easy for those at home, surrounded by
comforts and luxuries, to criticise, for In
stance, General Shafter because his army
deficient in artilery and because the
commissary department was slow in get
ting provisions to the front. No doubt
mistakes were made in the Santiago cam
paign, as was natural to an army of inex
perienced leaders and men, but how insig
nillcent were such mistakese In comparison
with the great results accomplished—the
driving of t’ervera’s squadron out of San
tiago harbor, to be met and destroyed by
out ships, and the surrender of the whole
province of Santiago with 25,000 prisoners.
It is disgusting to hear how much better
the “stay-at-homes’’ could have done if the
government had intrusted such a "soft
•snap” to their experienced care.
We believe the one thing above all others
■which broke the haughty pride and spirit
of Spain, was our unprecedented treatment
of the captured soldiers and sailors of the
Spanish army and navy.
The Spanish people had been taught to
regard us as bloodthirsty and revengeful.
bo that when our sailors risked their own
.lives to save those of the wounded and
drowning sailors of Cervera’s fleet, when
the Spanish Admiral was received on the
lowa by a marine guard and an admiral’s
ealute and when the 25,000 prisoners eap
tured at Santiago were not only fed and
clothed by our soldiers but were to be sent
home with their wives and families at the
expense of the United Statese, such gener
osity and humanity touched the hearts of
the Spanish people, their whole cause fell
to pieces and they simply could not fight
any longer.
Hence came the request for a termina
tion of the war and a settlement of peace.
Not that Spain was not whipped and con
quered. for she never had the slightest
chance, but when we showed by our actions
that we were fighting for a principal and
were without resentment to the Spanish
people, their spirit was broken and they
gave it up.
The terms of peace as announced by the
■president should be acceptable to both na
tions. They are such that Spain can accept
with honor and the United States with
credit. Cuba and Porto Rico were admit
tedly lost to Spain, and the Philippines
would be. indeed, a white elephant on our
hands The greatest and most disturbing
problem now is our responsibility to main
tain peace and order in Cuba and the Phil
ipines. And. here again, what a debt of
gratitude the people of the United States
owe to President McKinley for his firm
stand against the recognition of the so
called Cuban republic. If the jingoes had
had their way Cuba would have been rec
ognized. and what a mess we would have
been in. Unquestionably we will be oblig
ed to occupy Cuba with a military force
for many a day, and it is more than doubt
ful whether the Cubans ever can form a
safe and stable government.
Young Prince Bismarck said to the
Kaiser: "It’s none of your funeral,” and
the war between the Hohenzollerns and
th family of the Iron Chancellor goes mer
rily on.
Old Hulls for Transports.
Probably the United States is the only
fiast-elass power that never had transport
wbips. She has none today worthy of the
name. She has a lot of second-hand, third
rate ocean tramps and a few good mer
chant ships which have been made into
transports.
However, England, Germany or even
Spain herself would have made a better
showing. Take the Catania, for instance.
She was a good example of the ocean
tramp. Avars ago she was a shoreship of
The Hamberg-American line. That was
when a twelve and fifteen day voyage
across the Atlantic seemed swift. Then she
got into the South American trade, and one
unlucky day, some three of four years
ago, she foundered or was sunk.
She rested easily for two years and a
half on the bottom of the Atlantic, and
was then raised and fitted for the Klon
dike trade. She was too late in getting
ready, and finally was turned over to the
government with a first-class captain but
h short crew.
She carried 1.200 men, including the
Washington, (D. C.) First Regiment, and
according to an authentic account, she had
two small boats so defective that when
landing at Siboney neither could be used
because they were leaky and rotten. She
had lour life preservers. On t;e way from
Tampa to Key West her pumps refused to
work. She laid up for repairs there
twenty-four hours. Her engines broke
down three times, once off Cape Maisi in
half a gale of wind, and she lay three
hours in a floundering sea. and escaped
through a good fortune that seemed almost
miraculous. Her condensers would not
work at times, and if any trouble bad
come necessitating an anchorage, she nad
but one anchor instead of three to hoid
her.
Her steam steering gear was useless, and
she was steered by hand and yawed about
like a blind hog. Her auxiliary .-leering
wheel at the stern had rotted loose and
the steam capstan was so much out of or
der that it could not be worked even by
hand.
This was a ship that some blooming
government inspector allowed to go to sea
with 1,200 helpless uouls aboard, who
reached their destination because probably
a kindly Providence watched over them
There were other Catanias in the fleet, anj
some ships like the Concho and Seneca,
which have sailde into public notice.
War or battle in itself is bad enough,
and those who engage in it are entitled to
the best and completed appliances for pre
serving life and health.
The Spanish officer’s lot is not a happy
one. If he escapes death on sea or land
he has to face a courtmartial when he
reaches home.
Move the Troops.
Dr. T. C. 'Minor, of Cincinnati, writes
editorially in the Lancet Clinic, Saturday,
/August 6: “-In June we predicted what
would occur to the army which would in
vade Cuba during the yellow fever season.
We invoked the statistics of the Spanish
surgeon general. Not a leading sanitary
authority would have advised the landing
of the troops before the middle of October.
“'State dioards of Health, North, South,
East and West, have kept silent for two
reasons.
“First, because any protest of sanita
rians would have caused an outcry from
the public press that medical men lacked
'patriotism; second, because yellow jour
nalism was too influential in urging the
cry of ‘On to Cuba.’
“The doctors in the field today have been
the most overworked class of men, their
opinions snubbed right and left. They
have met with bitter opposition and sneers
from leading newspapers.
“The army of Cuban occupation is down
with yellow fever. The fraudulent im
mune regiments, gathered by politicians
searching for commissions, will increase
the army surgeon’s woes.
“Not one of five of so-called immunes
has ever had yellow fever or smallpox,
and medical men the country over support
this declaration.
“Typhoid fever increases daily. Car load
after car load of the best fighting men
ever created are landed near our large
cities to the detriment of whole commu
nities of women and children. If the pres
ent state of 'mismanagement continues the
East, South and West will be ifilled with
a thousand foci of contagion from typhoid
and yellow fever before October.”
Dr. Minor sugests the following reme
dies:
“We suggest that Drs. George Sternberg
and iLenn, and a board of other equally
high medical authorities be called to enact
methods to stamp out the disease, and
they ‘be given power above the generals
to regulate the contact between the refu
gees and the soldiers, and the use of army
wagons for hauling the same
“Move the troops from Florida at once,
or there will be an epidemic of yellow
jack.
“The government must tell the truth to
local health departments and compel them
to enforce the same measures as if an
epidemic were at their doors, for the gov
ernment has a typhoid epidemic on its
hands and does not know it.
“Ik) not send Shafter's army to Man
tauk. It means typhoid, and perhaps
worse, for New York.
“Disperse regiments to separate healthy
camping grounds, where there is pure afr
and water.
“Every doctor of the United States is
with us in these views."
About the only thing Spain can take is
time and she is taking it at every stage of
the proceedings.
Gross Negligence.
The floodgates of journalistic criticism
are beginning to open. The campaign in
retrospect, so far as the victories are con
cerned, is all right. In the hundred days
of fighting 'American valor has delivered
swift and decisive blows. But from every
camp there now come rumors of lack of
food and insufficient hospital provisions.
Distinguished officers of the United
States army have had recourse to the
round robin in order to stir those in au
thority into needed action.
There can be no denial of the fact that
in operations around Santiago, so far as
the care of our soldiers was concerned,
gross dereliction was painfully manifest.
The commissary arrangements were woe
fully inadequate. Soldiers suffered when
there was no necessity for suffering. The
men who fought so gallantly in Saturday’s
siege did not expect to sleep in feather
beds nor to dine in state.
■But they did expect wholesmoe rations,
necessary clothing and tents for shelter.
Napoleon said that “an army moves on
its stomach.” ■Coupling this phrase of the
great Corsican with the advance of our
army from Baiquiri and Siboney to San
tiago. one must conclude that it ws all
But they did expect wholesome rations.
There should be a committee appointed
to investigate the conduct of the war. The
necessity for such action is apparent.
Some reputations may be hurt, but that
cannot be helped.
That round robin is destined to ruffle
the eagle’s feathers to the point even of a
courtmartial.
Elections in the South.
Louisiana is the third and last of the
southern states having a predominance of
colored voters to adopt such changes in the
state constitution as radically restrict the
suffrage. Along with the adoption of the
new constitutions in South Carolina. Mis
sissippi. and Louisiana successively there
has been a gradual extension of the time
between elections in these states and in
southern states generally the opinion of
southern .leaders of both parties apparently
being that the too frequent recurrence of
elections for state and legislative officers
is not a good thing and that better results
can be obtained by fewer elections.
Under the new Louisiana constitution
members of the legislature are chosen for
four years and the term of all state of
ficers is four years, too, there being no
election in Louisiana until 1900. South
Carolina formerly elected a governor every
two years and members of the legislature
every year. Now senators serve for four
years and representatives for two and the
term of all state officers is two years.
Mississippi elects a governor for four years
and members of the legislature for four
years. State officers in Mississippi are
elected for four years except the chief
justice, who has a term of nine years. As
a consequence if it were not for the re
currence of congress elections the voters
of Mississippi would vote only once in four
years, as is the case in presidential elec
tions.
In Missouri formerly the term of gov
ernor was two years, but is now four, and
state officers in Missouri are elected for
four years, the term of state senators being
four years also. The next state election
in Missouri will be on November 6, 1900,
the same day as the presidential election.
Virginia is still another southern state in
which the infrequency of elections is
thought to be a good thing. The term of
the governor of Virginia is four years and
the attorney general and lieutenant gov
ernor have a like term. Virginia elects
state senators for four years and adopts,
too, the plan of holding its state election
in the year succeeding the presidential
election. The next state election in Vir
ginia will be on December 1, 1901, and the
contention is made that good results have
already attended this plan of state elec
tions onee in four years and of state of-

fleers and legislators chosen for long
terms. North Carolina is another southern
state which adopts the same plan of in
frequent elections for state officers, al
though it elects members of the legislature
in alternate years. The term of the gov
ernor and of the state officers in North
Carolina is four years. The chief justice
of the supreme court is elected for six.
in Kentucky a four years term for gov
ernor and state officers is the rule and in
West Virginia, in which formerly the term
of governor was three years, the governor
and all the state officers are now elected
for four. There will be no state election
in West Virginia until the year of the
next presidential election. Four years is
the term of governor and state officers in
Florida and in the south generally four
year terms have become the rule. There
are no annual elections in any state of the
south and there are annaul sessions of the
legislature in but two states only, the
states of Georgia and South Carolina.
The Savannah Press: “The victory of
Mr. John Roach Straton in the oratorical
contest for the championship of the
South, held at Monteagle, Tenn., a short
time ago, is peculiarly gratifying to Geor
gians.”
The Charleston News and Courier con
tends that the best troops for service in
Cuba are those who have already passed
safely through an attack of yellow fever
there. There are several thousand such
immunes.
"Tell me,” Aguinaldo is reported to have
written to the United States Consul Gen
eral Wildman, “am 1 fighting for annexa
tion, protection or independence?”

A SEA OE FLAME.
On the evening of November, 28th, 1878,
a fiYe broke out in the British ship Melanie,
loaded with 500 barrels of petroleum. An
awful mass of flames shot up from the main
hatch and the vessel quivered from stem to
stern with explosion of the barrels. Her
seams opened and the blazing petroleum
poured out into the river, spreading a belt
of fire around her. The master and seamen
jumped overboard. Captain Sharp, whose
vessel was lying close-by, propelled a small
boat through the blazing river and after a
severe scorching and imminent peril, saved
the seamen from a horrible death.
All over civilization there are thousands
of men in more imminent danger than were
those seamen. They are threatened -with
consumption or are alreadv in the clutch of
that deadly disease. If they onlj' knew it,
help is at hand. Dr. Pierce’s Golden Med
ical Discovery cures 98 per cent, of all cases
of consumption. It also cures bronchitis,
asthma, throat and nasal troubles and all
diseases of the air passages. It is the great
blood-maker, flesh-builder, and nerve-tonic.
It makes the appetite hearty, the digestion
perfect and the liver active. The “Golden
Medical Discovery ” is the product of that
eminent specialist, Dr. R. V. Pierce, who,
during the thirty years that he has been
chief consulting physician to the great
Invalids’ Hotel and Surgical Institute, at
Buffalo, has treated more cases than fifty
ordinary physicians treat in a lifetime.
Thousands given up by doctors, have tes

RYSIPELAS
Two Diseases That Cause Their
Victims to Be Shunned by
Their Feilow-hiun.
SpringFiiu,n, Mo.
Grntlkmen : I commenced taking P.
v i Lippman’s Grexit Remedy, last
Pa.ll, for Erysipelas. My face was com
pletely covered with the disease ; I took
a short course of P. P. p., and it soon
disappeared. This Spring I became
much debilitated and again took an
other course, and I am now in good
condition. I consider P. P. P. one of
the best blood preparations on the
market, and for those who need a gen
eral tonic to build up the system and
improve the appetite I consider that it
has no equal, Will say, anyone who
cares to try P. P. P. will not be disap
pointed in its results, and I, therefore,
cheerfully recommend it.

Me.
GF.Nir.iAfeW: DM I had a
scrofulous sore which bncAceout on my
ankle. It grew rapidly, and soon ex
tended from my ankle to my knee. I
got one bottle of your P. P. P., Lipp
man’s Great Remedy, and was agree
ably surprised at the result. The entire
sore healed at once. 1 think I have
taken almost every medicine recom
mended for scrofula and catarrh, and
your P. P. P. is the best I have ever
tried. It cannot be recommended too
highly for blood poison, etc,
Yours very truly,
W. P. HUNTER.
P. P. P. cures all blood and skin dis
ease, both in men and women.
Rheumatism, which makes man’s life
a hell upon earth, can be relieved at
once by P. P. P., Lippman’s Great Rem
edy. It makes a PERMANENT cure.
P. P. P. is the great and only remedy
for advanced cases of catarrh. Stop
page of the nostrils and difficulty in
breathing when lying down, P p. P.
relieves at once.
P. P. P. cures blood poisoning in all
its various stajjas, old ulcers, sores and
kidney complaints.
