Retain the Name.
The government of Brazil has given
is a marked exhibition of friendship
in selling us two of her best war ves-
sels, the Amazonas and the Admiral
Siren. While we doubtless paid a fair
price for these much needed vessels,
they. would not have been given to us,
when they were sought for by other
nations in. open market, had not Brazil
‘ strongly sympathized with the United
States in the present international
complications.
"We believe, says the Philadelphia
Times that it would have been only a
jolt compliment to Brazil to retain the
21:: ne of the Amazonas. It is in every
Inspect a suitable name for a war ves-
s l, and it should not be changed.
The other vessel we have purchased
has been named after a Brazilian naval
officer, which is purely a personal
compliment. While it may be well
even to retain that name also, there
would be no impropriety in changing it
But we insist that in
recognition of the friendship of Brazil
ioNew Orleans.
for our government the name of the
Amazonas should remain under the
Stars and Stripes.
A A;
Mutational Sympathies.
It may be reaSODably assumed, in the
East, that the European powers are not
likely to worry themselves much about
the relations between the United
States and Cuba. They have quite
enough to occupy their attention else-
where,ev.en if any of them were dis-
posedto goout of the way to" succor
Spain.
There is no apparent abatement in
the diplomatic intrigue for influence
in China. France is now taking a
hand in the game, each power Striving
after. some particular possession, while
England stands more than ever alone
as the distinct opponent of commercial
exclusiveness. In this respect our own
interests, so, far as they go, are identi-
cal with hers, and thus it comes about
quite naturally, without any formal al-
liance, that such support as we have to
g’iye in the East must be exerted on
her side, while we can as certainly
count on her support in our efforts in
behalf of justice and liberty on this
side of the globe.
The advantage of the traditional
.;‘lme'ri’can policy against territorial ag-
gression is here apparent. The whole
civilized world has gradually come to
recognize the right and the duty of the
United States to insiSt upon the paci-
‘ilcation of Cuba, and to recognize that
“this involves no ambition of conquest
or aggrandizement. The evident un-
willingness of the nation to take pos-
session of Hawaii has been helpful to
our influence at this time, and so also
has been the dignified attitude of the
government in relation to the Maine
affair, which has not been allowed to
divert attention from the real ground:
af-our dispute with Spain. This is, as
it has always been, the deplorable con-
_ dition of the island that lies so near
our coast and with which our. commer-
rial relations have been and should be
so intimate and important.
If we are ato bring this dispute to a
peaceful sentiment, and the good-will of
such a poweras England, with its enor- .
annals financial and commercial as well
as political influence, must be of the
first importance; if the issue should
' ceome to war. such. good-will, consider-
ing England’s ovgrwhelming naval
peter. must be not less essential. We
need no official alliances. but we should
be. foolish to under—value the advan-
‘mges that international friendship car-
ries with it, in peace or war, and these
we can count upon if we only continue
a) keep our record clean.

REQUIREMENTS OF THE POSITION.
The President and His \Vlfe Must Possess
Tact and Quick \Vlt.
There is perhaps no time or place in
which there is such urgent need of
quickness of wit and kindly tact as at
the public receptions given by the
President of the United States and his
wife.
When a queen receives her subjects
the etiquette is fixed and inexorable.
No one speaks unless addressed by
royalty. But Americans of all classes
crowd into the Blue Room, many with
a question or a joke which they have
prepared to fire at their unprepared
ruler, and they judge by the fitness of
his reply whether he is competent to
hold his office or not.
Many of them, too, through sheer
embarrassment make foolish remarks,
the memory of which probably causes
them misery afterward.
One frightened lady assurdd Mrs.
Cleveland: “It is a mutual pleasure to
meet you,” correcting her mistake by
calling out as she was passed down the
line: “I meant to say the pleasure is
all on your side.”
A group of students out from college
on a holiday were presented to the
same lady just after her entrance to
the White’H-ouse for the second time.
One lad, a Freshman, pale with difli-
dence, heard himself to his horror say-
ing in a loud, squeaky tone of author-
ity:
“Madam, I think you have just cause
to be proud of your husband.”
The other boys stared with amaze-
ment and delight, storing up the “joke
on Bill” for all future time. But there
was not the flicker of a smile upon the
sweet, womanly face of the first lady of
the land. ‘ '
“Ah!" she said, gravely, still holding
his hand, “you bring roe the verdict of
posterity! I thank you.”
The Freshman’s comradeS‘were dei
lighted at the reply and at the oppor-
tunity given to chaff Bill upon the
awkwardness of his address, but Bill
seemed to him the kindest woman in
the world—Philadelphia Ledger.
Fishing: in In Basket;
An enterprising looking old country.
man, with a large basket full of fine
brook trout, was standing in the door-
way of a railway station.
A passenger accosted him. and, af-
ter admiring the fish, remarked:
“Not if I can help it,” the grinning
rustic replied, “there be a party of
city gents as went out fishing from
here this morning. They’re 'spected
back soon, and I’m just a-lying round
waiting to save their feelings."——Har—

Fill a bottle or common glass with
urine and let it stand' twenty-four
hours; a sediment 0r settling indicates
an unhealthy condition of the kidneys,
When urine stains linen it is evidence
of kidney trouble. T00 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. Kilmerls

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 0f the most distressing cases. If
