We may be gov- erned too much; and certainly bicycl- ing and foot-ball will go right on. he brutali We have tried to believe that ihe year comes in under a faint rainbow of peace. There isn’t excessive war- fare such as came with the advent of ninety-seven. The Spaniards and the Cubans are not killing each other, but merely dying of starvation and fever, and the Greeks are as quiet as a whip- ped and sobbing babe. The Armen- ians are as peaceful as the grave, and the Phillipines gave out no news with the exception of a few unimportant lies. But, good gracious! there is that Austrian parliament. A German paper sugg a combi- nation of the European powers against the Monroe doctrine, and a French pa- per intimates that Spain will have as- ance in case of a fight with the United States with regard to Cuba, An ardent desire to be mean is thus de- veloped; but behiné it is the older meanness that has wanted these many years to break up the natural protec- tion against war in which every Amer- ican, north, centra] and south, honest- ly believes. What mischief Cuba may provoke cannot be predicted; but Mr. ! Blz pan-Ameyi¢an congress ought A coast defence gun now in process of corstruction by the United States government is to be a wonder in ord- nan¢ An expert estimates that the ing energy of a projectile from gun will be equal to the blow of -thousand-ton steamer ramming at sixteen knots’ speed. To complete the comparison, the expert adds that, while a vessel in collision strikes all along her cutwater, the damaging pow- er of the gun is concentrated on a cir- cle having a diameter of sixteen inches. Should the gun ever be used against an enemy, the fate of a vessel receiving the blow could not be doubt- ful. Such a terrible engine of war is a peace agent of a persuasive sort. In an important report recently made to the Interior Department, Agent Dew M. Wisdom, in charge of the Union Indian Agency in Okla- homa, where the five civilized tribes are located, says: “The intruders must go. The intruders have made the Indians doubt the good faith of the government and made it more difficult te treat on the more important issues of allotment and the breaking up of tribal autonomy in the nation to which the individual Indian Welongs. A sound public policy demands the eviction of all declared intruders, and any measure of expediency on the part of the department that temporizes with the intruder or postpones his re- moval on mere technicalities is falla- cious and misleading. Let all the treaties be enforced and all the safe- guards secured to the Indians be up- held in letter and in spirit, and then the Indians will make liberal conces- sions and accept without murmuring that change in condition which con- fronts them.” Edward Everett Hale said in a lec- ture on the old streets of Boston the other day: “An old Bostonian regards the straight checker-board ‘streets of other cities with a contempt which is not to be described, while the people of other cities claim that Boston was laid out by the cows.” Lew Wallace in predicting a war be- tween the United States and Japan vir- tually expresses the opinion that the little wretches have their figh\ing pow- er at the sacrifice of their eae sense, | PITH OF THE NEWS ‘EVENTS OF THE PAST WEEK IN A CONDENSED FORM.

Fierce Engagement With 2,500 In- surgent Troops, in Which, Ac- cording to Spanish Accounts, the Insurgents Met With Great Loss— Spanish Troops Again Capture the Cuban Esperanza, Where Government Had Its Headquar- ters—Gen. Garcia Reported Killed Havana, Jan. 22.—According to in- formation from Spanish sources Gen. Castellanos, being aware that the in- surgent government was established at Esperanza, in buildings constructed by the insurgents, seventeen leagues from Puerto Principe, at the extreme west end of the Cabitas ridge, pro- ceeded in that direction with 2,200 in- fantry, 400 cavalry and two field can- non. After three days’ trying marches he forced a difficult position on the fourth day and overcame the obstinate resistance of 1,000 insurgents, pur- suing them more than six miles and destroying and burning the houses at Esperanzia, including the insurgent government buildings. On the follow- ing day Gen. Casiellanos engaged the reunited insurgents, 2,500 strong, near Esperanza. He routed them after two hours’ combat. ‘The insurgent loss is believed to be numerous, but cwing to the density of the woods it is difficult, according to the Spanish account, to ascertain the full extent of the de- feat. The insurgents left 57 dead on the field. The Spanish lost 5 killed and had 31 wounded, among the latter be- ing Lieut. Col. Perez Monto. The in- surgents under Monteaguedo, enraged by the reports of the surrender of In- surgent Gen. John Masso Parra, at- tacked the town of Esperanza, Prov- ince of Santa Clara. Under cover of darkness they reached the houses in the Rosario ward, but the garrison re- pelled the attack and flollowed the fleeing insurgents outside the town. The latter left nine dead. A private dispatch from Spanish sources says the attacking insurgents had thirty wounded and that the garrison loss was insignificant. Although nothing appears to be known on the subject at Spanish head- quarters, persistent rumors were in circulation to the effect that Gen. Garcia, the famous insurgent leader, was killed in a recent engagement with Spanish troops. —0— Confirmed at Washington.

A LIBERAL OFFER. ‘ Producers of a Guaranteed Remedy Of- fer to Send Sample Bottles. “Five Drops” is the name of a sim- ple but effective remedy for rheuma- tism, neuralgia, asthma, and kindred ailments. The trade mark, “5 Drops,” is self-explanatory, as five drops is one dose. The manufacturers of “5 Drops” have thousands of letters from reliable people, who have been re- stored to health by the use of their remedy. Many of these letters have been published, and many more will be gladly sent upon application. Some weeks ago the producers of “5 Drops” offered to send a sample bottle, pre- paid, for 25 cents. They know even a sample bottle will convince any one of its merits. They were so encouraged by the numerous responses to their first offer that they have decided to renew it for another 30 days. If you are a sufferer send this small amount, 25 cents, without fail today, to the Swan- son Rheumatic Cure Co., 167-169 Dear- born st., Chicago, Ill., and receive pre- paid a sample bottle of “5 Drops.” Also, large bottle, 300 doses, for $1.00 and for the next thirty days, three bot- tles for $2.50.

Money talks. Perhaps that’s why they put a woman's head on the silver dollar. For some time the Baltimore & Ohio South Western Railway company has been experimenting with crude gil for kindling fires in locomotives, in place of using cord wood, and the results obtained have been so satisfactory that it will here- after be used on the whole line. During the month of November, 1897, at the company’s shops, which are lo- cated at Washington, Ind., amd Chilli- cothe, Ohio, 1,226 fires were started with crude oil, at a cost of $17.32, or 1.41 cents per fire. To have started the same num- ber of fires with wood the cost would have been $306, or 24.96 cents per fire. ‘This represents a saving of $288.68, and is very satisfactory.
