A Fleshy
Consumptive
Did you ever see one?
Did you ever hear of one ?
Most certainly not. Con
sumption is a disease that
invariably causes loss of
fiesh.
If you are light in weight,
even if your cough is only
a slight one, you should
certainly take
Sett’s Emnslioa
of cod liver oil 'with hypo
phosphites. No remedy
is such a perfect prevent
ive to consumption. Just
the moment your throat
begins to weaken and you
find you are losing flesh,
you should begin to take it.
• And no other remedy
has cured so many cases
of consumption. Unless
you are far advanced with
this disease, Scott’s Emul
sion will hold every in
ducement to you for a
perfect cure.

PLEASED WITH THE SOUTH.
To a number of inteiesteri cal’eis
today President McKinley had ooea
-ion to reiterate his determination to
have no more troops mustered ou* for
the present. In tbe course of several,
interviews he stated in eubstance that
it was the intention ot the administra
tion to send mare troops to Porto
Rico to tal e the place of the volun
teers who will have to be returned and
who will be given furloughs. He
stated very firmly that there would be
no general dischatgcs until the situa
was cleared up. The president also
daring the day testified to his appre
ciation of the soldiers from the south.
To a delegation ho said one of the
refults of the war which paricularly
gratified him was that tbe war seemed
to have effaced tho last vestige of
of sectional feeling as between tbe
north and south! He referred to the
hearty responses from the south when
the war broke out and concluded with
the statement that if the elimination
of a’l differences of feelings between
tbe north and south will continue per
manently he would be a happy man.
He also spoke of the evident content
meut of the southern troops to remain
in service so long as they were
needed.

The Australian Ballot.
The people of Atlanta had an op
portunity in yesterday’s primary to
observe the working of the Austra
lian ballot system,* and it has receiv
ed their heaity commendation. With
i) e safeguard of bipartisan managers
and clerks, it would be almost an
ideal method of holding elections.
Where the voter prepares his ballot
in privacy, away from the influence
and importunity of political heelers,
a true expression of the will of the
people is secured.
It is fortunate that the attention
of the people of Georgia has been
generally directed to this primary
and to the method of balloting used,
and it is probable that the object
lesson which has been given will lead
to the adoption of the Anstralian
billot throughout the state. We
think it important, however, to say a
word ot caution at this point. Whiter
with bipartisan managers, this sys
tem of balloting is clearly the best
that has evar been devised, it would
he capable of almost unlimited abuse
if only partisan managers and clerks
were allowed.
It is to be hoped that the Austra
lian ballot will bo adopted by law,
with the safeguard which wo have
indicated Without that, it would
be a da gcrous measure.—Atlanta

Causes of England’s Friendship
Before the peried of oar civil war
this republic was looked upon by
many of the ruling classes in En
gland as an experiment of uncertain
results. But when tbe Union issued
from the great crisis stronger than
ever, they promptly recognized the
fact that this republic was bound to
be a permanent institution and a
very great power, apt to become ex
ceedingly uncomfortable as an
enemy. From that lime it came to
be the first precept of British states
manship—even with most of those
who would have sbed no tears had
the Union been disrupted—to remain
on good terms witn the United States
at almost any cost Witness tbe
Sacrifice of British pride in the Ala
bama arbitration as well as m tbe
Venezuela case.
It <tos not detract from the claim
to sincerity of the British friendship*
nor from its value, that there is this
consideration of interest in it. On
the contrary if the interest ts a mut
ual and a well-understood one, so
much the better, it will make the
friendship all the more natural and
dnrable. Neither do I think that
the exchange of ctaiplimentary
phrases which has become customary,
•bout kin hp, about common origin,
common love of liberty, common lan
guage, common literature, about
blood being thicker than warer, and
so on, is me r e worthless stage clap
trap nnd flummery. There is enough
truth and sincerity in it to create and
keep alive a real sentiment; and
while those are mistaken who think
international relations may be wholly
governed by mere sentiment, those
are equally mistaken who think that
sentiment is no force at all in inter
national relations. As everything
that promotes peace and good will
among nations, so this sentiment ef
kinship between the \merican and
the British nations is worth cultiva
ting- It may do very good service
in facilitating the co-operation of the
two nations where their interests or
objects are in accord, as well as in
preventing serious quarrels between
them about differences which are
not vital-

Doctors In the Army. *
The investigation now in progress
as to the conduct ot the medical)
commissary and quartermaster de
partments during the late war has
brought out the fact that so much of
the trouble complained of has been
due to what might be called the
“uppity” conduct of certain medical
officers.
It was related, foi mstahee, by Gen
eral Wheeler in extenuation ol a
certain doctor’s conduct at Montauk
that he was probably a little too much
concerned about his rank. From
other sources hare come the cam
plaints that some of the army physi
cians were more concerned about
getting the salutes which belonged to
them as line officers than in bringing
to the sick soldiers that comfort and
sympathy which should accompany
the phyrictan.
If there is no other way to remind
these gentlemen that tbey are in the
army as physicians and not as officers,
t would, perhaps, be better to tak
away their military titles altogether.
It is hardly necessary that a physi
cian in the army should be a lieuten
ant or even a captain, and it certainly
is true that shoulder straps do not
make him any more accomplished in
his profession.
Tbe medical depa tnent of 'h
armv is too important to become
afflicted with the disease of official
dom. Its members should cultivate
those humane qua’itirs uh’ch en er
into the true physscian, rather ibn
the arts ot the mere military marti
nets who become offended when a
private does not right about face and
salute.—Conststution.

Protection and Calicoes.
In 1700, by 11 & 12 Will. HI. o. 10,
it was enacted that Irom and after
Sept. 29, 1701, not only ‘‘all wrought
silks * * * of the manufacture of Per
sia, China or East India,” but ‘‘all
oaliooes, painted, dyed, printed or stain
ed there, whloh are or shall bo imported
into this kingdom, shall not be worn or
otherwise used within this kingdom,”
etc. This was the first blow against the
wearing of chintzes or printed oaliooes,
but it was not absolutely prohibitive,
the avowed object of the statute being
“tho more effectual employing the poor,
by encouraging the manufactures of
this kingdom.” It meant that the ladies,
having worn out the Indiun chintz ap
parel in their possession and use prior
to Sept. 29, 1701, would have to be con
tent with homemade stuffs for the next
21 years, as it befell in the sequel.
The silk and woolen weavers had
been hostile from the outsot to tho use
of printed calicoes, whether of oriental
or domestic manufacture. During De
cember, 1719, the houses of parliament
were inundated with petitions against
these stuffs, and on March 28, 1721,
the royal assent was given to an uct (7
George I, statute 1, chapter 7), “to
preserve and enoourage the woolen and
silk manufactures of this kingdom and
for more effectual employing the poor,
by prohibiting the use and wear of all
printed, painted, stained or dyed cali
coes in apparel, household stuff, furni
ture and otherwise.” —Notes and Que

Tt was said of Dr. Johnson that he
always talked as though he were taking
an oath. He detested the habit of lying
or prevaricating in the slightest degree
and would not allow his servants to
say he was not at home if he was. “A
servant's strict regard for the truth,”
said he, “must be weakened by such a
practice. If I accustom my servant to
tell a lie for me, have I not reason to
apprehend that he will tell them for
himself?” A strict adherence to truth,
the doctor considered as a sacred obliga
tion, and in relating the smallest aneo
dote he would not allow himself the
minutest addition to embellish his story.
