Ordinarily a prospect of speedy war
“would send gold into hiding and lead
to gold exports. If war is imminent
now we are witnessing a reversal of
this rule, as more than ten millions in
gold has been imported since February
25. and thefimovement still continues, a
quarter of a million having been with-
drawn from the Bank of England for
shipment yesterday.
Of course existing conditions are ex-
traordinary. The balance of trade is
‘ so heavily in our favor that there must
be large balances to our credit in Lon~
do 1, Paris and other European money
‘ c. .ntres upOn which our financial insti-
lz-.etions may draw at any time,but while
there has been a good deal of war talk
recently, as a matter of fact there have
been no war expenditures and no call
_ for men or money by the government.
Really the war flurry has scarcely af-
iccted business at all outside of the
stock exchanges. Grain, petroleum,
cotton and a hundred other American
staples continue to .be exported and
' very? little changes are occurring in
the prices of staple-export commodities.
Europe wants our commodities and we
want tosell them, a'nd'tr'ade is going
on as though no war clouds were lower-
ing over-the horizon. .

It is most creditable to the popular
touch 'of Congress that the bill appro-
priating $50,000,000 to‘be expended at
the discretion of the President in meet-
ing: the grave emergency that confronts
as, received the vote of every member
present. On such an issue there could
live-but two lines of division—patriots
on the one side, and cowards or dema-
gog-ues- on the other.
The only possible way of preserving
peace between the United States and
span; is for this country to be so th or-
oughly prepared for war as ‘ to deter
Spain from precipitating it. Thus the
mustathorough preparation for war at
this time is the only possible method of
maintaining peace:
"1 'With this appropriation of 850,000,000
Tor immediate expenditure by the Pres-i,
ident, we can be fully prepared for war?
and that'would save hundreds 'of mil-
lions. If war must come, the most
«unethical way to meet it, both as to
the sacrifice of life and treasure. is to
haveypur, preparations as complete as
possible; ‘ . . ,
VVilh $50,000,000 in the hands of the
ihzesident. a war with Spain would last
but a few months at the "most, and the
‘ cconom y of life and money would be in-
wlculable. If unprepared for war,
countless" damage might be done on our
acacoast, and great sacrifice of life
might be necessary tobi-ihg‘ peace by
the success of our arms.
No party ever won the confidence of 4
the people of this country by opposing
war, and there never has been an issue
between this country and another n2.-
‘sion on which the people of the: United
States were so thoroughly united as
‘ they are‘in demanding for the admin-
istration all the money, ships, men and
munitions of war necessary to enter
the struggle with absolute assurance of
mrly and complete victory. Let every
patriot manfully sustain the President
and strengthen the hands of our gov-
enument by approving the 850,000,000
appropriation.

HE LIVES lN A LOG HOUSE.
A Rich Bankor Who Will Not Dosort His
Old Home and Its Associations.
Pondleton, Ind., is noted for many
historic incidents and landmarks, and
also claims the distinction of “having
the only banker in the country who
lives in a log house. His name is
Morris Hardy, and he is known all
over this section of the State among
men of wealth and banking. He is the
cashier in the Peudloton bank. He is
one of the principle stockholders also,
and is wealthy. He has never ac-
quired any particular “swell head"
since becoming rich and successful in
banking, and every evening after his
work at the bank is completed he .re-
tires to a. common 10: house. It is by
no means a shackle or broken-down
affair. The furniture is up to date,
and everythig about the place bears
evidence that the occupant is 'by no
means-a miscr or oven close-listed.
.,.'I‘_he old place has memories hang-
ing around it which are dear to the
banker, and he is content to let his
patrons live in swell residences while
he occupies the'one made‘ of logs. It
dy, and it was to this house_that the
late Frederick . Douglass was smug-
gled when mobbed at Pendleton, when
he first came into the ”north to plead
for the liberty of his race. .Within
walls the noted man, then poor and
an outcast, was nursed back, to life,
and when,§ in later years,_'_his,na1ne
was known the world around, he
would come back to this little home
and spend his time with the quaint
old people—Chicago Chronicle.

Their Fixed Tastes. i‘
The circulation and distribution of
books during the last century may be
illustrated by the following anecdote
of the Scllly Islands—there are 366, out
of which four or live only are inhab-
ited. The library consisted of tw0
books, a copy of the Bible and the
“History of Dr. Faustus.” The latter
book was handed about from house
to house and was dropping to pieces
by continual thumbing, until at last lit-
tle was left either of his wonderful en-
chantment or of his terrible end.
This being made generally known, a
meeting of the inhabitants was called,_
and it was resolved that as soon as
the season permitted any intercourse
with Cornwall 9. fresh suppply of
books should be sent for. What books.
however, were to be ordered? The
meeting considered this question very
earnestly. At last it was unanimously
agreed that the Penzance bookseller
should be ordered to send them, at
once. one new book, a new copy of
“Dr. Faustus.”
Victims of Water Drinking.
There are two interesting instances
of the effect of water upon the human
“system. In the Alps and‘the Pyrenees
there is a race of people who are old
mount 15 years of ago, and who die
at 30; this being ontlrelydue to their
drinking lime—water. The Chinese,
on the other hand, drink nothing but
rainwater, and, as a nation, their lon-
gevity is proverbial.——Philadelphia

There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer’s
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy
fulfills every wish in relieving pain in
the back, kidneys, .li'ver, 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 compelled to get up
many times during the night to urin-
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
the best. Sold by drug ists, price fifty
cents and one dollar. 5011 may have a ‘
