Brooke will likely get themselves disliked in Ha vana if they continue their efforts to reform the manners, customs and habits of the people. There were good reasons for sending the c>.w», which were kept in stables on the lower floors of the residences, to the country, but there was no good reason for the order making it an offense for met' to appear in the doors of their residence s in their shirt-sleeves, or to smoke in the streets. The cows, being kept on the lower floors of residences, endangered the I health of the people, but cot a-figh’ ng, biil'-itjhtiug, smoking in the -ireets and appearing at the front doors of dwellings without coats w ••• matters with which the military authorities I ought not to have meddled The I Cubans have their habits a> d customs, I which seem to them to b ■ all right. ; Because they don't appe»: entirely j right to us is no reason why we should I prohibit them There are many piac- I tices which the Cubans cun be educat ed to abandon, and which they will I abandon, in all probability, in the ; course of a few years But they oiiould jbe educated to abandon •hem, net forced to do so. It would not b- a uitlieu t matter to get the dislike of the Cubans to such an extent that they would seize the first favorable opporiutii'y to make trouble in the island. If ti • ■ gel the idea firmly fixed m their minds that we are oppressing them, and they are likely to get it if we continue to inter fere with their morals, practices and customs, they will openly resist our efforts to establish an intelligent and stable government in the island Even now they are talking war—at least some of the Cuban generals ire—and it will rtquire a great deal of tact to pr vent an outbreak. Ol course they couldn’t accumpiiah ; anything, but it might cost us a good many lives and a vast amount of mon ey to restore order. The most we ought to do at the present in the way of rt" form is to require strict obedience to health regulations. We are concerned in having good health in al; the Cuban cities, and therefore we have a right to rcqu.re the people to keep their prem ises in a thoroughly sanitary condi i lion. We are right in compelling them I to obey health laws, but we should de i pend upon time and education to I etfict reforms in other mutters. Sa- j van nah News.

Mr. McKinley’s colonia po y There men may not refuse to e ip; >rt McKinley if he is nominated by the republican party, but their ad vocacy of hit candidacy will hardly be very enthusiastic McKinley will lose votes on this account. G v Pingree, of Michigan, repre sents another class of republicans an tig mistie to the administration. He is opposed to trusts and the methods of S.nator Hanna and the McKinley leaders Then, it will bo remembered, a meeting has been called to assemble in Bufla o, New York, fur the declared purple of organizing u new political i party. The call is signed by I’iogree, Senators Quincy, of B< -ton, Eugene T. Debs and others Even if the pro p-.-r- I new parly shun.J not place a presidential ticket in the field next year, the movement will hurt the chances f the republicans much mote than it will tii. ee of the democrats, j Tnen, there is a large class of inc epen- | dent voters who do not endorse the policy of the administration, most of whom will vote against McKinley, in the event of his nomination. Speaker Reed’s opposition to McKinley may a so lose him some votes. A mistaken idea prevails, to some extent, to the effect that war strength ens the , political party io power. Leslie’s Weekly points out that the contrary is nearer the truth. In the presidential election following the war of 1812, the party in power bad a very narrow escape from defeat. Witb the aid of a democratic congress, ths dem ocratic administration forced the con flict of 18-16 8 and lost the presidential election in the latter year, when the whigs elected Gen. Taylor. Just what effect the present war in the Philip pines will have on the gteat presiden tial campaign ol 1900 is a matter of speculation, but the indications are that the republican party will be weakened, rather than strengthened thereby The administration’s unjust I treatment of Admiral Schley and Gen. i Milts will certainly lose votes to Me- | Kinley, assuming that he is to be the ! nominee of the party, as will the scan- i dal on account of the unfit rations : •applied the army and general m.- management in some of the departs i bjected the American troops to unnecessary hardship? and dangers, This general view of the situation shows that the democrats will at le„et have a good fighting chance to win next year, if they nominate a "’rung I ticket, on a good plats rm —C lambus E nquiier-Sun.

REGARDLESS OF AGE The kidneys are responsible for more sickness, suffering, and deaths than any oth r organs of the body. A majority of the ills afflicting people today is traceable to kidney trouble. It pervades all classes of society, in all cli mates, regardless of age, sex or condition. The symptoms of kidney trouble are un mistakable, such as rheumatism,neuralgia sleeplessness, pain or dull ache in the back a desire to urinate often day or mght, pro fuse or scanty supply. Uric acid, or brick-dust deposit in urine are signs of clogged kidneys, causing pois oned an I germ-filled blood. Sometimes the heart acts badly, and tube casts (wast ing of the kidneys) are found in the urine, which if neglected will result in Bright's Disease, the most dangerous form of kid ney trouble. All these symptoms and conditions are promptly removed under the influence of Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root. It has a world wide reputation for its wonderful cures of the most distressing cases. No one need be long without it as it is so easy to gel at any drug store at fifty cents or one dollar.
