Cherry Pectoral From our Rrsulnr ('orrrsiionrirut. Washington, Oct. 13, 1898. Lawyers fer the defense seldom bring out any testimony against the accused. The members of the McKinley war in vestigation Commission—“The Alger Relief Commission,” is what a loeai paper calls it—who have put the ques tion to the witnesses who have so far testified may not consider themselves Secretary Alger’s lawyers, but, i: they were, their qutstions could not in the opinion ot many unprejudiced persons, have been more carelully prepared to prevent the giving of undesired evi dence. One witness—Col Lee, who started to tell about some of the War Department's mismanagement, in the matter of transportation, without being fB mm Am, iy - questioned upon the subject, was at J® ■■ ! ■ once called down and informed tiiat the Commission was not ready to enter that I HOB jf branch of the investigation. lie took ’• ll the liint and thereafter only answered sucli questions as were aski'd. Gen. II. V. Boynton reiterated his theory that fiies were responsible torso much sickness at Camp Thomas, and another w itness,.—a brigade surgeon—indorsed it. Instead of trying to find out the Commission appenrs to he trying not to find out anything derogatory to Secre tary Alger’s management of the War Department. It appears to desire only evidence that will be complimentary to the Department. There is much sympathy expressed for Mrs. McKinley, who left Washing ton for Canton Ohio, Saturday night, to attend the funeral ot her brother, who was killed, supposedly by a jealous woman, Friday evening. She was to have started to the Omaha Exposition today, with Mr. McKinley and a party of officials and their wives. The arrest of Senator Quay, for con spiracy in connection with the failure of a Philadelphia bank, has been much talked about in Washington. Opinion is not unanimous as to whether Senator Quay is innocent or guilty of this par ticular charge, but, aside from a lew 1 men who are under personal obligations ' to him, the letters from Quay to the I Cashier of the Bank, who committed j suicidi after the bank closed its doors, : have added to the opinion long he'd by Editorial Glimpses and Clippings.

The last is a result of the two first. The t-fforts to raise the Vizcaya has Ven abandoned. Divers have found about 50 feet ot the bottom ot the ship gone. The candy and cracker factory ot the Winn-Johnson Company and the oil and paint store of T. C. Burke & Co., in Macon, were destroyed by fire early Thursday morning. Several lively fights in the Georgia legislature for judgsliips and solicitor- ships are predicted for the coming ses- von. The constitutional amendments will do away with such contests in the legislature hereafter.

Quay is, and has been for Senate, veats regular stock gambler, and lias never hesitated to make use ot knowledge ob tained in his official capacity to gamble in stocks tor bis own profit. He was one of the most prominent of the Sena torial sugar speculators, whose opera tions shocked the country, and brought about an alleged investigation, while the tariff was under consideration by the Senate Fnance Committee. At the investigation Quay adopted bluff ing methods; told tlie Committee that lie speculated in sugar or anything else whenever lie wished to, and in effect asked what the Committee was going to do about it. No real patriot will deny that the country would be better off if all such men as Quay were driven out of the Senate and kept out. Nothing could show more encourage ment for democrats in the Congress ional campaign than the fact that re publicans acknowledge their fear of losing four out ot the eleven Iowa dis tricts, now all represented by republi cans, A gain of thirty seats i.s all that is needed by the democrats to put the republicans in a minority in the next House, and the prospects of getting them and many more, is very bright ai t his time. Ex-Senator Blackburn, of Ky, now in Washington, said: “The political outlook in Kentucky is as satisfactory as democrats could wish. Of the eleven Congressional Districts they will carry nine certainly, and of the re maining two there is more than an even chance of carrying one—the Louisville district.

The war department officials say that the war will not be over until the treaty of peace is signed and ratified by the United States senate and that the soldiers may be needed for further duty. No discharges will be granted except for sickness and disability, and the requests in these cases must be ap proved by the colonels and higher commanding officers. The *3 kind for $2.

Our Line of We Have Special Bargains A bloody buttle between strikers and negro miners occurred at Virden, 111., last Wednesday.

Phil Thompson, once a member of the House from Ky., who spends much ot his time in New York, has been felling his Washington friends about the Campaign, lie said: “I be lieve that Judge Van Wyck will beat Col. Roosevelt, for Governor, by a heavy majority. There is an element | in the republican party that doesn’t like Roosevelt and will secretly rejoice j in his downfall, lie is cordially hated by the saloon keepers and their friends, for bis course while Police Commis sioner, and they will work like beavers to roll up the ballots for bis opponent. Then, too, Judge Van Wyck is an ami able and upright man, with no blemish in his record, and conservative people think lie will make a far better execu tive than the brilliant, but rather im practicable rough rider. The strongest card, however, for the democrats, is the bad record of the republican state ad ministration. The tax payers are up in arms over the canal improvement Iraud, and when they come to vote they are going to take u sure way of manifesting their displtasuro with Gov. Black’s regime.” Mr. McKinley is said to lie very much disgusted at the position taken by Teddy Roosevelt, that bis election to be governor ot New York is neces sary' as an indorsement of the adminis tration and the war, and it would not be surprising it' he should take some way of letting it become known that he would not consider ltoosevolt’s de feat no affront to himself or his ad ministration, although pressure is being brought to keep his mouth shut. Mount Vesuvius. This great old volcano seems to be again awaking from her long sleep. Since 1871, the last outbreak ot any importance, she has been quietly sleep ing so far us any outward signs were concerned. But lor some time past she has been showing signs of life, till the inhabitants <>l Naples and other towns near by are fearing lest there be another terrible catastrophe from this newly awakened monster. These an- gry outpourings are giving rise to fears that the burial of Pompeii and Hercu laneum in a winding sheet of laya may be repeated. Reports come tlmt there are now three streams of lava about eighty yards in width pouring out of the crater, and as they find their way down the sides of Vesuvius they are split into innumerable smaller streams which leave behind them a blackened trail where was once green vegetation. Ol the three hundred and fifty active volcanoes in the world, Vesuvius is the one that keeps at the head tor e«cen- tricity ot temperament, uncertainty of movement, and violence of eruption. The ancient outbreak of Vesuvius, the one great historic eruption, is that which buried Herculaneum, Pompeii, and one or two smaller cities, so that they were lost to sight for ages. Alter burying these the old volcano slept again and remained quiet for so long that people almost forgot her exist ence. Villages sprang up where black ened ruins had been, and the country was a smiling landscape again. There have been other periodical outbreaks, but none so disastrous as this. The base of Mt. Vesuvius is about thirty miles in circumference. Its height varies with its'eruptions, but the average is about four thousand feet. Its great crater is ,-orne two thousand leet in diameter and about five hun dred feet deep. SALMAGUNDI JJY UNCLE All null and no push is what’s matter with modern progress. A disregard of consequences may b* brave, but it is exceedingly foolish. The patient waiting for the fruition of a reasonable hope is a hap >y condi tion. For so-called pleasure you pay the cash—you can get your rations on time. God gave man a choice between good and evil. When man destroys his will- power he is in a sad condition. A Christian concern for the welfare 9 of other people will cause a man to for get, in a measure, his own ailments and troubles. Of course a man’s first duty is to his family, but the good man, poor though lie be, will not restrict bis efforts to such narrow limits. t The right spending of hard-earned cash calls for tlie exercise of good judg ment. Too much money is squandered tor things that bring suffering instead of pleasure. A long standing wait for the proces sion to lorm tires the mind as well as the back and legs, and the best of the situation is the relief that cornea with the breaking up of the crowd when the pageant lias passed.

We are grateful to learn from I be data recently compiled by The Railway Age that the past nine months of the present year have witnessed greater ac tivity in railway building in the United States than lias any corresponding pe riods of time since 1893. According to tlie data from which we cite, there were 2,200 miles of ru'lwa] constructed in the United States up to October 1, 1898. If this rate of in crease continues until the year expires, there will be not less than 3,000 miles ol track laid by January 1st next in the United Stales. Most ot the progress made in railway building up to the present lime has been restricted to the southwest, although Minnesota, in the northwest,has partic ipated more extensively in the general improvement than has any other indi vidual state. Texas, Alabama.Missouri. Louisiana and North Carolina have each made heavy gains.
