It is certainly gratifying to the public to know of one con cern in the land who are not afraid to be generous to the needy and suffering. The | ro prietors of Dr. King’s New Dis covery for Consumption, Coughs and Colds, have given away over ten million trial bottles of this great medicine ; and have the satisfaction of knowing it has absolutely cured thousands of hopeless cases.

The New York Times off-hand records the following names as the most popular heroes of the war: Rear Admiral George Dewey, of Vermont. Lieutenant Richard Reason Hobson, of Alabama. Col. Theodore Roosevelt, of New York. Rear Admiral Winfield S. Schley, of Maryland. Capl. Robley D. Evans, of Virginia. Gen. Joseph Wheeler, of Ala bama. Capt. Chas. Edgar Clark, of Vermont. Lieutenant Commander Rich ard Wainwright, of the District es Columbia. Commodore John W. Phillips, of New York. Ensign Worth Baley,of North Carolina. Lieut. Victor Blue, of South Carolina. Cadet Joseph W. Powell, of New York. We may claim seven of the twelve for the South. Wain wright hails from the District of Columbia, but he is said to be a South Carolinian. So, although —— -juui mu not have much chance to show her mettle in the war on land, from no fault of hers, she comes eut grandly and conspicuously in naval mat ters. The Cincinnati Commercial- Tribune says: “Pity the queen regent. She is one pathetic fig ure in the drama that calls for genuine sympathy, and she is aot a Spaniard.” This is the only war that the United States ever waged in which the Southern troeps did not do the most of the fighting —and it was not the South’s fault this time. DW E IV ED ROASTS, The press of the country is giving the war department un merciful roasts, new that the war is over, and criticism is freely placed where it belongs. Here is a mild sample of the criticisms, as made by the Phil adelphia Record : “The authorit es at Washing ton knew beforehand that perils would inevitably attend military operations at Santiago. At this season of the year malarial and yellow fever were more to be dreaded than any resistance which the Spanish troops might off- r. There should have been adequate preparations for taking care of the sick. It is now well known that thousands of out brave regulars and volunteers have Buffered unnecessarily be cause of sheer neglect and in competency. This is the most regretful remembrance that the war will leave behind it.’ The Dawson News agrees with the Sparta Ishmaelite in this : “The ‘hero’ business lias been decidedly overworked since Ithe war began. ’Heroes’ have [been as common aa republicans in Vermont. ” WATER IN THE WAR. There is a lively scrap now progressing between a Knoxville and a Chattanooga paper anent the transfer of a division es the army from Ccicamauga to E«ast Tennessee. Ihe Knoxville pa per admits that Camp Thomas would be ordinarily healthy, but for one sad negle r t that threat ens the people of Chattansoga. It says that owing to the fact that the drainage of Chicamau ga Park is into Chicamauga creek, and that tho creek Hows into the Tennessee river above the point from where the city water supply is pumped, the city physician of Chattanooga urges all citizens to boil all their water before using it. This is an admission that the drainage of the park has pollut ed the walers of Chicamauga creek so much tha 4 it is thought necessary for the protection of the health of the people of Chat ta iooga that they should boil their water pumped from the Tennessee river several miles below the mouth of the creek. The water problem is one of the great considerations of the war and it has been impressed upoti the world beyond all for mer precedent. We renew our advice to pro hibition and other temperance friends to include this study in their warfare agair.sr runt. L t them wage unceasing conflict against impure water and seek to banish it from civilization. Until this be don,e, to a large degree, men will, in many cases, stick to strong drink rather than confine themselves to polltued water. —Augusta Chronicle. THE SIXTH MASSACHU SETTS The Sixth Massachusetts, vv it iuii so hftdly, according to report, yet uncon tradicted, is what stmts pecple call “a historic regiment.” The Springfield Republican says : “It appears * l -~‘ * ,ie regiment simply went to pieces all along the way. The fault, of this must be laid on its colonel. This is the outcome of the plot which relegated Col. Parsons, with his fine fighting record in the civil war, to private life and gave Senator Woodward the colonelcy. The fact that these officers of the Sixth were sum moned before an examining board is proof of their failure to rise to the emergencies of active service. It is too bad that this regiment,whose passage through Baltimore was so warmly wel comed, where it pledged its word to make a record worthy of its history—in view of the ovation there received, should be in disgrace through the fail ure of its officers. But that is what this news about it means. The fact will be greatly regretted throughout the state. This un wonted happening is the first thing to mar the fame and hon orable record of the state in this war. Col. Parsons may have | had his faults on the parade ground, but lie would have been a godsend to the Sixth in active service. These officers of the Sixth w'll have a melancholy return to the Sixth will have a melancholy return to the old Bay state.” The Sixth Massachusetts, of Confederate war fame, was mob bed in Baltimore when it passed through to attack the south in 1861. The same regiment with new men ami officers, passed through through Baltimore, in 1898, a few months ago, and re ceived a great welcome when marching to attack Spain. In that regiment were two negro companies, with their own offi cors.This did not seem to dis— OHJI • <u< SlMmwU THE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS is due not only to the originality and simplicity of the combination, but also to the care and skill with which it is manufactured 1 v scientific processes known to the California Fig Syrup Co. only, and we wish to impress upon all the importance of purchasing the true and original remedy. As the genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. only, a knowledge of that faet will assist one in * voiding the worthless imitations manufactured by other par ties. The high standing of the Cali fornia Fig Syrup Co. with the medi cal profession, ami the satisfaction which the genuine Syrup of Figs has given to millions of families, makes the name of the Company a guaranty of the excellence of its remedy. It is far in advance of all oilier laxatives, as it acts on the kidneys, liver and bowels without irritating or weaken ing them, and it does not gripe nor I nauseate.

New York and Massachusetts have been much mortified in some of their soldiers. » Round Robin Roosevelt has probably closed his war career, Secretrry Alger will not go out of his wav to send this Round Robin Rough Rider to the front again, and there seems to be no further need. Teddy can now tackle New York politics on his war record. At the close of his official ca reer, Bismarck said to some friends at Friedrichsruhe : “I have seldom been a hapy man. If I reckon up the rare minutes of real happiness in my life, I do not believe the}' would make twenty four hours in all. In my political lire 1 net er had time to have the feeling of happiness. But in my private life there have been moments of happi ness. I remember, for instance., a really happy moment in my life, and that was when I shot my first hare. In later years it gave me pleasure to see my irri gated meadows and plantations thriving, and at home I took pleasure in my wife and chil dren.” There is more Catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until tbe last few years was sup posed to be incurable.
