Geo. J. B. Steedmao was imprisoned
in Morro Castle io Havana not long
after the close of the civil war. He
had gone to Cobs to aid the insur
gent* and was captured by the Span*
i.rds. Bia predicament finally was
reported io Washington and his re*
lease followed,
If tbe report is correct that France
desires to buy the Canaries, Spain had
better sell them quickly. She would
have done well to sell the Philippines,
and Porto Rico and Cuba, long ago.
Possibly she would do well to sell the
Balearic Islands, sod any other odd
possessions which she may have lying
around, before they are taken out of
the market by Uncle Bath.
The night before Dewey left Wash*
ing'on to take command of the Asiatic
squadron he was guest of honor at a
dinner. His Irostess and others ex*
pressed regret that he was ordered to
such a distant post. The commodore
said : I shall find plenty of work to
do You know the Spaniards have a
fleet over there, and I’ll have to de
stroy H at, es course. Then there aie
the Philippines, Spanish territory.
Some day you’ll hear that I’ve cap*
lured Manila before breakfast.
Somebody has suggested that the
government send Admiral Dewey a
large consignment of Mexican silver
dollars with which to pay bis men.
Two Mexican dollars can be purchased
with one American dollar, and in Ma
nila th* Mexican dollar will purchase
more than the American silver dollar,
because it is heavier. Tbe suggestion,
however, will not be accepted. The
men will be paid io gold, or money
which inequivalent to gold whether it
be io Manila, or Paris, or London or
New York. *
No aaoe railway management would
think of atarliog up a great railway
system with nearly all green men io
eveiy department, and with the ex
ceptions confined to email roads of
little bueintaa A railway started un
det such conditions would, in lew than I
a week be aeriooaly disabled, its en
gines burned out or smashed, its care I
ditched, and its treasury threatened
with bankruptcy from wrecks and
coats. The same i* true of any great
business enterprise, and is doubly true
io the organisation of a great army
and the carrying on of a war invasion.
It ought not to be forgotten that the
feature in the new land-grabing game
into which our government is assumed
to be ready to enter is on the pro
gramme io Congress for this week.
The joint resolutions for the annexa
tion of Hawaii, without tbe consent of
the Hswaiiane, without even consult
ing tbe wishes of tbe American peo
ple, it has been atated, are to be press
ad for immediate action. Tbe Presi
dent is said to favor them, and Speaker
Reed is reported to have withdrawn,
or at least mollified, bis opposition to
such xnoexation viewed as a “war
measure.” We must seise Hawaii be
cause we are at war with Spain] Wo
require the islauds for tbe protection
of our Pacific coast, and tbe security
of our future possessions in the Phil
ippines, when Spain bae not a ship of
war in tbe Pacific, and baa not at
present the means of rending a fleet
to replace the one destroyed
by Dewey, which would not
inevitably meet the acme fate. Tbe
war ia tbe excuse. Tbe greed of tbe
land speculators, the sugar speculators,
tbe bond speculators, and the rest of
the sharks who have been for months
intriguing and working in Washing
ton io favor of “annexation” furnishes
tbe motive. Is it to be one of the fruits
of a “now and more vigorous foreign
policy” that that policy is to be here
after shaped and governed in the in
terest of such creatures*

lamin my seventy third year, and for
fifty years I have been a great sufferer
from indigestion, constipation and bil

advertised for these diseases, anl got no
permanent relief. About one year ago
the disease assuming a more severe and
dangerous form, I became very weak, and
lost flesh rapidly, I commenced using Dr.

twelve pounds in three months. My
strength and health, my appetite and my
digestion were perfectly restored, and now
I leel as young and vigorous as I ever did
