Spain’s Financial Weakness,
Spain is not in a condition
financially to carry on a costly
war. Her debt is now far greater
than she can carry with comfort.
It amounts to $1,709,000,000, or
about $100 per capita, and her
anntml interest charge is $105,-
000,000. With a population of
[of only about 18,000,000 and a
[revenue only about $153,000,000,
[it,ia apparent that Spain could
carry on a costly war very
fkq before she would have to an-
[i nnee herself a bankrupt.
After paying interest on her
onds she has less than $50,000,-
100 with which to carry on her
government and meet the expenses
bf the war in Cuba. It is apparent
(hat that amount is *not sufficient
[or those purposes. W hat then,
tciild Spain do in the event of
(var with this country? She has
k> way in which she can materi
ally increase her revenue, and her
borrowing capacity has reached its
limit.
There is only one thing she can
to, and that is default on the in
terest on her bonded debt. That
vould give her something more
k ban $100,000,000 a year for war
fniposes. But her creditors, who
are mainly citizens cf Germany
and France, would not regard a
[default with favor. In fact, they
pight influence their respective
[governments to try to persuade
[Spain that it would be a wiser
purse for her to give up Cuba
[rather than to permit herself to
be classed as a bankrupt. They
[have very little interest in Cuba,
[but they have great interest in
lotting their money.
Cuba has become a very costly
[possession to Spain. Obligations
fo the amount of $450,000,000 and
pore have been created to bring
we Cuban insurgents to terms,
phe revenue which Spain now
(gets from Cuba does not begin
[to pay interest on the bonds that
Spain has issued to get the means
[to carry on the Cuban war.—

China’s Dissolution.
How long will it be before the
Chinese empire will crumble into
ruins and be divided among the
nations of Europe? This question
is suggested by the speech which
was delivered in Parliament a day
or two ago by Mr. Balfour, the
acting foreign secretary. Mr. Bal
four said, practically, that the
fate of China was to be parceled
out among other nations. He did
not undertake to make a predic
tion as to when the dissolution of
tiie empire would take place, but
he left the impression that Great
Britain would be on hand to get
her share of it when the disin-
| tegrating process began. In fact,
! she has already begun to get a
share of the empire. The lease
of the important port of Wei-Hai-
Wei, which she recently obtained,
puts her on a footing with Russia,
Germany and France iu China..
From one point of view, that port
would be a more important con
cession than that obtained by
either of the other powers. Great
Britain can be depended upon to
look out for herself. If she fails
to get the lion’s share of China’s
territory, it will not be her fault.
Only a few w r eeks ago it was
thought that Great Britain was
on the eve of war with Germany
and Russia, because they grabbed
portions of China’s territory with
out consulting her, but Mr. Bal
four did not, talk war in his speech.
He had no occasion to do so.
Great Britain, having begun plun
dering China also, has no fault
to find with the policy of plunder
adopted by the other powers. And
poor old China permits herself to
be plundered without a protest.—

Worse Than Bullets.
We will probably see most of
[the fighting and if Spain attacks
[the United States coast, our
fouthern ports are most likely to

enough, but it is not half so

rPanish army were landed on qur
r°uthern coast, we would be pre-
P are d to meet it, but the dreadful

When your heart pains you and un
usual palpitation is frequent, accompa
nied sometimes with shortness of breath
and low spirits, you are suffering from
a disordered state of the liver,digestion
is imperfect, and there is wind on the
stomach. If allowed to remain the
trouble will ultimately reach the kid
neys and then becomes dangerous to
life. Steps should be taken to stay its
progress on the appearance of first
symptoms. Dr. J. H. McLean’s Liver

ed for disorders of this kind. Price $1

• Sheridan and the Pictures.
Among the pictures in General
Sheridan’s office were two small
ones on an easel, one above the
other, representing the “Charge
at Winchester” and “Sheridan’s
Ride.” In the ride he was por
trayed dashing along waving the
stars and stripes, and followed by
his entire staff. Regarding the
picture, General Sheridan said:
“Now the truth is I was almost
by myself at that time, cne or two
of my staff following in the dis
tance. I had no flag at all, but
was swinging my hat and riding
like the very devil to the front so
my men could see me.”
“Oh, well, general, the artist
thought it would look more effec
tive to have you with the flag, ”
remarked the visitor who was
looking at the picture.
“But it isn’t true; he will have
to take out the flag and put in my
hat. And he will have to take
out a dozen of those fellows close
behind me. They were not there.
The other picture is all right. Do
you see that big horse running
away, and the officer over there
firing at him? Well, that was a
fact. The horse did run away,
and the officer thought that he’d
kill the horse and so prevent the
the rider from being carried into
the enemy’s lines. But the shot
didn’t hit and both the horse and
the man were captured by the
enemy, and a few days afterward
recaptured by us.”—Philadelphia
Press.
Tire Power of Congress.
At this time it is pertinent to
suggest to inquirers a few quota
tions from fundamental law:
“The Congress shall have power”
(Article II, Section viii) “to de
clare war, grant letters of marque
and reprisal and make rules con
cerning captures on land and wa
ter. ” “The Congress shall have
power” (Article XII) “to raise
and support armies.” “The Con
gress shall have power” (Article
XIII) “to provide and maintain
a navy.” “The Congress shall
have power (Article XIV) “to
make rules for the government
and regulation of the land and
naval forces.” “The Congress
shall have power (XV) to provide
for the calling forth the militia
to execute the laws of the Union,
supreses insurrections and repel
invasions.” “The Congress shall
have power” (Article XVI) “to
provide for organizing, arming
and disciplining the militia, and
for governing such parts of them
as may be employed in the service
of the United States.”

Thompson the Man.
We are for Hon. Howard Thomp
son for Congressman from the 9th
district because we want to secure
a better representative to repre
sent us in the 56th congress than
it has been our good fortune to
have had in the past several years.
When the time comes for the
votes to be cast to show whether
it is good or bad policy to continue
to keep Mr. Tate in Washington
m preference to sending Mr. How
ard Thompson to take his place
as a superior agent of the citizens
of the 9th Congressional district;
we believe that a large majority of
the people will say that it is not
by any means a good policy to not
send Hon. Howard Thompson.
By thus displaying their wise
decision in so important a matter
tfiey are sure to find that they
will not have erred. And we truBt
that they will live to see the day
in which they can say with par
donable pride: “There is Hon.
Howard Thompson, our smart and
very able Congressman from the
Ninth District of Georgia, the
man whom we elected away back
in 1898 and since then he has
proven to be such an able and dis
tinguished representative that we
will not even think of even trying
to secure an abler or a more satis
factory man for our servant in
Washington, D. C. ”—-Banks coun

A Picture of the Confederate Sol
dier in Defeat.
In Henry W. Grady’s immortal
speech before the New England
Society on the 21st of December,
1886, he painted this picture of
the confederate soldier in defeat
after Dr. Talmage had eloquently
told of the glorious return of the
federal soldier to his home from
victorious fields:
“Dr. Talmage has drawn for
you, with a master’s hand, the pic
ture of your returning armies. He
has told you how, in the pomp
and circumstance of war, they
came back to you, marching with
proud and victorious tread read
ing their glory in a nation’s eyes.
Will you bear with me while I
tell you of another army that
sought its home at the close of the
late war—an army that marched
home in defeat, and not in vic
tory ; in pathos, and not in splen
dor; but in glory that equalled
yours and to hearts as loving as
ever welcomed heroes home? Let
me picture to you the footsore con
federate soldier as, buttoning up
in his faded gray jacket the parole
which was to bear testimony to
his children of his fidelity and
faith, he turned his face south
ward from Appomattox in April,
1865. Think of him as, ragged,
half-starved, heavy-hearted, en
feebled by want and wounds—
having fought to exhaustion—he
surrenders his gun, wrings the
hands of his comrades, in silence,
lifting his tear-stained and pallid
face for the last time to the graves
that dot old Virginia’s hills, pulls
his gray cap over his brow, and
begins the slow and painful jour
ney. What does he find, let me
ask you who went to your homes
eager to find, in welcome you had
justly earned, full payment for
four years’ sacrifice—what does he
find when, having followed the
battle stained cross against over
whelming odds, dreading death
not half so much as surrender, he
reaches the home he left so pros
perous and beautiful? He finds
his house in ruins, his farm de-
vasted, his slaves free, his stock
killed, his barns empty, his trade
destroyed, his money worthless,
his social system (feudal in its
magnificence) swept away, his
people without law or legal status,
his comrades slain, and the bur
dens of others heavy on his shoul
ders. Crushed by defeat, his very
traditions are gone. Without
money, credit, employment, ma
terial, or training, and besides all
this confronted with the gravest
problem that ever met human in
telligence.”
The greater includes the less. Hood’s
Sarsaparilla cures scrofula, and may be
depended on to cure boils and pimples.

Honesty and Virtue.
There is more honesty and virtue
contained in a bottle of Salvation Oil,
than in any other liniment known.
“Mrs. A. Fiedler, 2864 Palethorp St.,
Philadelphia, Pa., confirms this truth:
She found Salvation Oil to be an ex
cellent remedy for rheumatism, stiff
joints, bruises, etc., and thinks it
should always be kept in the house.”

after having once been emptied of its
Son tents. A great deal of fraud is said
to be perpetrat'd by filling the bottles
of some standard liquor with an inferior
grade and palming it off as the original
bottling. An ingenious Philadelphian
proposes to accomplish this by blowing
a coin in the bodv of the glass bottle,
and he thinks this will be tempt
ing enough to induce some one to break
the bottle as soon as it has been emptied*
