WEDNESDAY, MAY 18, 1898. -- J, VAN SLYKE, Editor. - REMEMBER THE MAINE. REPUBLICAN TICKET, CONGHB8BIONAL. for Member of Congress, 8th District-- ALBERT J. HOPKINS. , TWO KINDS OF PATRIOTS- There are different kinds as well as different degrees of patriotism. There Is more than enough of the kind that is anxious to occupy the grand' stand and see the "scrap" at the frontirom head­ quarters, or to raise a regiment, or be placed at the head of it after it is raised. No doubt the men who have this kind are ready to volunteer if they can have the positions they want,-and can bp sent where the excitement is the greatest. No doubt they think themselves animated by a spirit of patriotism, when often it is only a spirit of adventure. But another kind of men ere willing to take all fortunes of war for country's sake, to serve in the ranks or wherever the judgment of superior knowledge may see fit to place them. These are the men who arc likely to be of value to the country. The other kind are likely to be superfluous and in the way. COUNTY TIC&EI, Tor.County Judge--A* O. H. GILLMOKE.

M tt^"The efficiency of the Cuban block­ ade is so great that provisions have gone to fabulous prices in the city of Havana Fresh beef is selling at §5 per pound without regard to toughness or previous condition, and 1s hard to get even at that price. At this rate it will not take many days to starve out our Spanish friends--the enemy, into an abject sur­ render. 'A'here will be Enough Truth. Our purpose in this war is engraved upon the understanding of the" word. The details of its prosecution are known to trusted officials in Washington. We must rest content in a certain ignorance or uncertainty, in regard to many re­ ported events, until they have transpir­ ed. We are probably to have a war of surprises--and we must have patience, Many stories will be published that will be found to have no truth in them ; some under an honest supposition that, they are true; others for the purpose of justi­ fying .extremely black, big head-lines printed to sell newspapers. But enough of facts are likely to appear in the papers every day, to make them well worth perusing. After a short time the judg­ ment of intelligent readers will become so trained as to enable them to distin­ guish real and unreal news. The Democratic County Tioket.

Unless the United States is capable of caring for itself unaided and alone, she will be left alone. Possessed of ability for self maintenance she cannot afford to go under any Platonic pledge expressed or implied to "double-up" later on. It should be frankly understood that Uncle Sam is frying his own fish; and in future can honor no drafts of fanciful obliga­ tion of affection. 19" At Manila the Spanish loss was very great. On the Castilla, the captain, chaplain and ninety others were killed and six wounded. One hundred and fifty were killed and ninety wounded on the Reina Cristina, Admiral Mostejo's flagship. Five were killed and twenty- five wounded on the Don Juan de Austria. Four were killed and fifty wounded on the Don Antonio de Ulloa The money loss to the Spaniards was about $5, 000,000. Our loss was about $1,000 damage to the Baltimore, eight men slightly wounded, not a man killed. Frmnds of the Farmer'. A souvenir issued by the authority of the Illinois Dairy Union, under head of "Friends of the Farmer," has this to say of Hon. G eo. R. Lyon: Hon. Geo. R. Lyon, of Waukegan. Lake county, a merchant, representing the 8th. district, was an active and en thusiastic worker in our behalf, and he i i a man upon whom the farmers can de­ pend to take care of their interests. We are under many obligations to this gentleman, he having introduced one of the amendments to the Mahoney bill, which resulted in our victory when de­ feat seemed probable. 16?" The .U S. Senate has adopted the joint resolution, proposing a constitu­ tional amendment changing the date for inauguration of President and Vice President and for the expiration of the terms of Senators and Representatives from March 4th to May 4th, to take ef­ fect in 1901. This is an all around good amendment, and it ought to be put into effect. Besides insuring pleasanter weather for Inauguration Day, it would give Congress an opportunity to do lething more at the short sessions to pass tba appropriation bills.

"RAMBLER," in Every Saturday, gets off the following: "Why will women try to sing in church who have neither voice, tune nor time in their make-up? I at­ tended church Sunday and sat next to a woman who sans: at every hymn. She began on the first verse about a bar behind everybody else. It was sort of a go-as-you please race all through, but she broke bttdly on the homestretch, and was distanced, coming under the wire about four bars behind the choir, On yerse two she made a catch-as-catch-can attack and grappled with the third line while the choir was finishing up the fourth. In the third inning she struck out on a fly, but slipped between the bass and soprano and made a foul. It was not only this being off the track all that made it pathetic, but it was also a case of a voice that was full of burrs and hadn't been filed for a long time. And such people always try to sing." Ex-Secretary Trasy, who has been in Washington this week conferring with President McKinley, said about the Philippine Islands: "We must hold them. They were taken as a war measure, and they are a magnificent pos­ session for this country. They will be invaluable as a coaling station and will give us more of a standing in that part of the world. The Monroe Doctrine does not apply to them. They were not taken for the sake of conquest, and their pos­ session comes to us legitimately and rightly. We will find it more difficult to get rid of them than to keep them, be­ cause international complications may cause other nations which would like to have them to be afraid tt) offer to buy them. We must keep them, aftejr having ,captured them aa we have." PAINTING THE BUGGY. It Requires a Specially-Prepared Paint which Looks Well and Wears Well. A paint with a varnish gloss, a good strong color and of great durability when exposed to the weather is a money saver, and it is a lasting satisfaction to the eye of a person who dislikes shabbi- ness. There is a special paint, carefully mixed, in which are combined all the beauty and advantages of paint and varnish. It is intended for use on bug­ gies, carriages, cutters and sleighs, baby carriages, small boats, lawn benches, porch chairs and countless articles in­ tended for Out-door use. It is made by The'Sherwin-Williams Company, the largest paint makers in the world.* The Sherwin-Williams buggy Paint is made ior this class of work only. It is not recommended for painting buildings or floors or furniture. When used on carriages it preserves the wood and addp a hundred per cent to its appearance thereby increaeing the value of the vehicle. Equally excellent for their special uses are the house paints, floor paints, family paint for use in the home, enamel paint creosote paint for fences and barns, yar nish stain and others specially prepared ready for the brush, by The Sherwin Williams Company.

They appear fairly well, but have no strength. You cannot say they are really sick, and so you call them delicate. What can be done for them ? Our answer is the same that the best physicians have been giving for a quarter of a cen­ tury. Give them scotrs Emulsion of Cod-Liver Oil with Hypo- phosphites. It has most re­ markable nourishing power. It gives color to the blood. It b r i n g s s t r e n g t h t o t h e m u s - J i j cles. It adds power to the }J| nerves. It means robust health and vigor.
