our friendly relations with Spain; and
his last declaration made on thesub-
ject of war will be heartily applauded
by every patriotic citizen of the Union,
says the Philadelphia Times. He said:

“score the country and before the
world. He is seriously threatened
with war without having directly or
indirectly given any just cause to pro-
voke it. He has hewed t0 the line in
the observance of the neutrality laws«
and resolved all doubts in their favor,
even to an extent that has been criti-
cised by many intelligent and fair-
minded citizens, but he did it in the in-
He did it because the
issue of war is of such grave magnitude
that he felt compelled to err, if he err-
ed at all, to avert the horrors of war.
While the President has done every-
thing consistent with the honor and
dignity Of the government to maintain
thepeace, it is not an open secret but
a matterirof notoriety at home. and
abroad,,.that ever since .the trouble be-
gun he has been making the best pos-
sible preparations for war; and since
the suddenly acute stage of the Cuban
issue was precipitated by the loss of the
Maine, he has felt that the only possi-
ble. way of averting war, if It could be
terest of peace.
averted at all, was to make the most
complete preparations for it. So well
has he performed his exceptionally
responsible duties that when the crisis
came and he asked Congress and the
nation to support him in all measures
:lor the common defense, there was not
Sit-single vote cast against him in either
branch of the national Legislature. No
such, tribute was ever paid to a Presi-
dent of the United States.
The country is to-day realizing the
beneficient results of President McKiIr

the maintenance of peace by the most
complete preparations for war. There
is, now a general feeling Of hopefulness
throughout the land that peace will be
maintained, no matter what disturb-

Spain, but now that we are vastly bet-

It is remembered of Henry Clay
when he was defeated in the one great
ambition of his life by his failure to
reach the Presidency in 18%, that he
manfull y bowed to his discomfiture,
flying: “I would rather be right than
President.” 'l‘hat utterance is yet re-
membered and will be remembered for
”fill time by successive'generations of
Americans; and we doubt not that the
equally heroic and patriotic expression
of President McKinley, declaring that
“rather my administration be an igno-
minious failure than should it be the
cause of an unholy war.” will also be
remembered and cherished with pride
”by the American people of generations
get to come. It is a declaration worthy
of the greatest Republic the world has

whee government in the sublime atti-

FACTS ABOUT HUDSON’S BAY.
Steal. Wealth with No Ono to Take All-
vantago of It.
At a recent meeting of the McGill
Science graduates at Montreal some
interesting facts about Hudson‘s Bay
were brought out. This inland ocean,
which is now called the Mediterranean
of North America, drains a territory
three million square miles in area.
with vast rivers flowing into it from
the south, east and west; fine natural
harbors line its shores, adjacent to
good farming lands and rich mineral
deposits. White whales, walruses as
big: as elephants, and fur-bearing seals
illsport themselves undisturbed. For
the finest fish no nets are spread. Both

no one to take it away. In the dis-
trict south of James Bay. a region as
large as all England. the total popu-
lation is one Scotchmnn and thirty or
forty families of Indians. Dr. Bell,
ilLe director of the Geological Survey,
snitl: "Moose Bay is in a latitude
further south than London, and the
northern portion of Hudson’s Bay is
about the same latitude as that of the
north of Scotland. The boy does not
freeze across in winter, and naviga-
tion is possible during four or five
months of the year. The all-water
route will bring the great Northwest
as near to Europe as the city of Que-
bec. and. while offering perhaps the
best passage to the Yukon region, it is
z-ertniuly the natural route to the great
oil fields." Alluvial gold is found in
the valleys and fine specimens of gold-
lwaring quartz have been brought in
by the survey party. It is stated. that
the soil observed is rich and product-
ive, and that scores of millions of
acres offer profitable stock-raising and
farming.--—New York Tribune.
DISEASES OF JEWELS.
Pearls and Opals the Most Tender and
, E wily Efi‘ected Stones.
Although it may seem odd, it is no
less true, that the most precious gems
are subject to various diseases, which
frequently destroy their luster and
beauty, says on exchange.
One of the most common diseases of
jewels is an inclination to change their
original color. Although it is gener-
ally believed that emeralds, sapphires
and rubbies are not ,subjeCt to this
s-huugc. recent experiments have estab-
lished the proof that these stones are
liable to fade. lat-nets are found to
fade very rapidly, and faded garnets
and rubbies assume a pale and misty
appearance.
Many gems, often Without any ap-
parent causesuddenly become cracked
or seamed. the damage being beyond
repair. Opals, known as the unluck-
iest stones, are so sensitive that their

by the presence of myriads of little fis-
sures which deflect the light into the
characteristic prismatic colors of the
gem. The tiniest of these fissures is

Pearls are subject to countless dis.

How to run our. ‘
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 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, 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 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 druggists, price fifty
cents and one dollar. You may have a.
