Wait for the Truth.
3. patriotic and statesman-like utter-
anxe—an utterance which deserves the
thoughtful and sympathetic considera-
tion of the whole country was that of
Senator Bacon, of Georgia, on VVednes—
day last. Mr. Bacon said: .
"One of the greatest causes ever tried
before the nations of the world is now
being tried 'in Havana. Let us do
nothing that will in the least way em-
barrass those who are conducting that
investigation. The wreck of the Maine
now lies on the bottom of the Havana
harbor. The facts relating to the ex-
351-0510112119 being sought earnestly and
intelligently by a competent court of
T'-.n'qr_1i1:y, and we ought to do nothing
thatwill in the slightest manner inter--
for-2e with the progress of that work.
What we desire is to know the facts.
If it should be found that the explosion
was due to an accident, we must know
that. If, however, it should be dis-
closedthat it was due to treachery, the
whole world will applaud the action of
this country in holding to strict account
“the country in whose friendly harbor
that awful disaster occurred.”
Here is the situation in a nutshell,
says the Washington Post. There has
neenatcrri‘olc tragedy. made all the;
(11010 OHIIDOII.) and painful because it
occurred 1n .1. foreign port, and because 1
it complicates 1nte1natrona1 relations:
already dangerously strained. In neith-
1' case is the government itself malig-
cunt 01' of evil purpose, but, so 11 icked-
{yhasthe public mind, both here and
infipain, been confused and _bef1'og ged
f‘by (fem agognes appeals and mendacious
11.er incendiary publications, the peace
of more than a hundred millions of peo— =
pic and the happiness. the prosperity,
the-very civilization of two great na-
tions, are swaying in a. balance which
the lightest touch might incline in the
direction of calamity. Senator Bacon
may well ask whether this is a time for
acckless assertion, for the enthrone-
111th Of prejudice and passion, for sur-
render to pestilential clamor.
\Vhat do the American people really?
grant in this emergency? What is best
for our common good, for justice, for
humanity, for national honor and I'le-
Wé want the truth. Nothing
We want what

more, nothing less.
I cannot. be had by mischievous vocifero-
"1ion in Congress or by irresponsible
11nd vicious outcry in the Newspapers.
I’I‘hel 'one thing needful to our dignity
and righteousness as a people is that
which the naval commission is now
seeking at Havana. We can wait for
this. The truth is always worth wait-
:‘a‘ng for, and when, as in the present
nose. the lives, the fortunes, the wel-
fare ofmillrons of people, to say noth-
ing of the honor of our flag, are at stake,
rho obligation of patience and self con-
trol is as sacred as an edict from Mount
Sinai. Every consideration Of justice
‘ and self-respect conspires to Urge this
course upon us. N 0 one knows a single
fact of real importance. Absolutely
nothing has transpired upon which an
intelligent. conclusion can be based. Of
significant discovery or authentic proc-
lamation there is not a shred.
\
But even were competent conjecture ‘
equally divided on th: point; even were
there strong grounds for suspending
play in the case of theill-fated Maine;
the fact remains that our duty as a cry-
ilized people urges us to a. course of
calm and patient self-restraint. We
have the pledge of our OWn govern-
ment that the truth, 'so far as may be
possible, shall be' proclaimed and jus-
tice done. Can we not rely upon that
solemn compact of good faith better
' than the wild asservation and the irre-
sponsible clamor of demagogues and
mischief- makers‘. Do we Question the
honor of the administration and its

her—the standard-bearer of a high

FEMININE CHAT.
Cultivate art to avoid artificiality.
Nine men out of ten want to run away
as soon as a woman beeins t3 cry.
Many wives are not suspicious of
their husbandsw—they are certain of
them.
How very few of us manage to keep
absolutely clean hands during the win-
ter.
Some hats that women consider
dreams are dubbed “nightmares” by
unappreciatrve men.
W'hy is it the pleasantest people are
so rarely the most desirable from a
worldly standpoint ?
You can always pick out the married
couples in the theatre. The man keeps
the opera glasses all the time.
There isn’t a woman living who
wouldn’t prefer a husband'with a hasty
temper to one who sulks over real or
fancied grievances.

HOW TO FIND OUT.
Fill a bottle or common glass with
urine and let it stand twenty-four
.hours; a sediment or settling indicates
'an unhealthy condition Of the kidneys
When urine stains linen it is evidence
of kidney trouble. Too frequent desire
to urinate or pain in the back, is also
. convincing proof that the kidneys and
bladder are out of order.
WHAT TO DO.
, There is comfort 1n the knowledge so
often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer’s
5',S\\amp-Root the great kidney remedy
fulfills ever y wishb' 1n relieving pain in
:the back kidneys, liver, bladder and
“ every part of the urinary passages. It
corrects inability to hold urine and
scalding pain in passing it, or bad ef-
fects following use of liquor, wine or
beer and overcomes that unpleasant
'necessity of being compellcd to get up
many times during the night to urin-
1 ate. The mild and the extraordinary
effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized.
It stands the highest for its wonderful
cures of the most distressing cases. If
you need a medicine you should have
