Filzhugh Lee’s Adyice. n‘itzhugh Lee is not afraid. If he advised that the President’s message be withheld, it was not in order that he might have a chance to get away from Havana. That explanation is absurd upon its face, says the Phila- delphia Times. In. the first place, any probable action of Congress in re- sponse to it, would not have been an act of war, though it might have fore- shadowed or invited such an act. in any case, non-combatants would be entitled to safe conduct out of the country and presumably would have it, and the Consul General certainly mould not. leave his post till the actual rupture had occurred. if General Lee counseled delay as there seems. to be no doubt that he did, it‘ was because he had information which led him to believe that the ob ject of the United States, which is the the message, 01- "emanCIpation of Cuba, could be accom- plished by peaceful means. And that is the same information that has come to Washington through other channels. The conflicting explanations given of e change of programme thus do not _ illy con fi1ct The whole world now understands what the United States squire, and the whole world is con- cerned, as we are, that this just demand shall be secured without increasing hu- man misery. Spain is apparently su- ing for peace and it is the clear duty of this great country to listen to her. We need not be afraid of vacillation or weakness in a course that is counseled by Fitzhugh Lee. -——-———<0.0’—-—-——' Congress and the Army. Congress has manifested more anx: iety to hurry on a war than to hurry an the needful preparations. It is quite ready to vote money to any amount, but to vote the taxes that must he required to meet the war appropria- tions is not so easy. To strengthen the navy by authoriiing the purchase of vessels was also quite simple, but the Navy Department has not found it hard to interest Congress in details of organization. In general, however, the Navy De- partment has an easy time compared with the War Department. The navy is far removed from the Populist con~ stituencies, and they are not afraid of it, but they are very jealous of the army. Even to get men enough to take care of the guns in the forts on the coast required years of solicitation, and the carefully prepared bill that would make it possible to fill up the army to a fighting standard in case of car has failed to pass the House even in the recent excitement when Con- gressmen were clamoring for an im- mediate invasion of Cuba. No doubt an army of volunteers can he organized for a Cuban war, but that will take some time at least, and if this government is to move as quickly and decisively as it is apparently expected 3.0 do, it would seem desirable that it have some adequate force ready at com— mand. The occupation of Cuba will not be that perfectly simple and delect- able picnic that some people imagine. It would take more than Senator Chandler’ s “fifteen minutes” if we were thoroughly prepared, and it is going to take a good deal more than that time to get ready. Feminine Chat. . Persons out buying Easter gifts are at times just a trifle mixed in their own minds and feel that they should has purchased Christmas trees instead of eggs and rabbits. There is nothing so hateful as the clever woman who tries on all occasions to show her cleverness, and nothing so sweet as the clever woman who appar- ently forgets that she has an idea abOve an idiot. The woman who owns only one gown, if it is of good material and perfect fit, is better off than she who possesses half a dozen of shoddy fabric and of that nondescript style which her sisters contemptuously' designate as “home- made.” It is the market basket that goes in at the back gate more than the stylish frocks that come out of the front door that gives the neighbors a pretty good impression of how you live. A woman is never comfortable un- less she has her felt on something, and she is infinitely well content when she has her dainty pedal extremities on the masculine neck—metaphorically speaking. Some of the new spring capes possess an elaboration of light applique on daik g1 ound that looks for all the world And Llike the fanciful nougat that was our delight when we attended children’s pa1 ties. Wear jewels to match the color of your eyes if you have the money to in- dulge in such a caprice. It is easy enough for a woman to dis- guise herself. All she has to do is to wear one of the thick black veils up-to- date mourning considers fashionable. And now the streets are made more dangerous by the appearance of sun- dry bicycle novices. The very young girl dotes on the bonnet, while the matron regards the Gainsborough as her special millinery affection. This is on the principle that very young men adore women Older than themselves, while the man past the prime of life centres his affec- tion on the fair one just in its spring- time. ——Live Merchants Keep their names before the Public.

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 t1 ouble. Too frequent desire to urinate or- pain in the back, is also convincing proof that the kidneys and bladder are out of order. WHAT T0 no. There is comfort 1n the knowledge so often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer’ 8 SW amp-Root, the g1 eat kidney remedy fulfills every wish in relieving pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and ex r 1- y pa1’t of the m ina1 y passages. It cor 1 acts inability to hold urine and ' scalding pain in passing it, or bad ef- fects following use of liquor, wine o1 bee1. and oveicomes 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 cu1 es of the most distl essing cases. If you need a medicine you should have the best.
