promoters of the scheme, after their

SOME ONE HAS PLUNDERED.
The men who managed the civil
war for the United States are dead
and the,present war so far as the
land forces are concerned is in the
hands of amateurs. Alger, the Sec-
retary of War, is a lumber merchant
who served for a short time as Col.
onel of Cavalry, fought one battle
and became a General after the
peace. He knows less about scien-
tific warfare than a military college
cadet,
It is through• such amateurish
management that we see a war six
weeks old, with an army of half uni•
formed, half armed, half drilled
miltiamen, too few to invade Cuba
and too raw to be trusted against
seasoned troops in a tropical country.
That this is true is shown by the
action of General Merritt, who refits
ed to lead 14,000 of them against 7000
Spaniards now cooped up under
Dewey's guns at Manila. Isle de-
manded 2,000 regulars and Alger
acknowledged himself in error by
granting the request, Another ad
mission of incompetency on Alger's
part is his new call for troops, before
a blow has been struck, showing
that his first estimate was insufficient.
The army now in arms is not ready
to move, and there are not enough
transports to move it. In two week's
time Cuba's "sick season" will have
begun, under which Uncle Satn's
unseasoned soldiers wa.uld die like
flies. There is talk of an irnmediate
invasion. If such an order is given
it will amount to wholesale murder.
Even the Spaniards always suspend-
ed operations during the three hot
months.
A campaign during summer is i0
practicable, meanwhile the expenses
are said 'o be $1,000,000 a day,

far of the Government is concerned
Canada has enough pioneer railroads
to last a generation or more. Al.

population ; or $1.800 for each man,

ever invented and while giving a larger and more brilliant

AN EDITOR RELATES' THE STORY Oie
HER ILLNESS AND IIOW A REMARK-
ABLE CHANGE IN HER CONDITION
WAS BROUGHT ABOUT.
From the Gazette, Whitby,
For some five ea:
this journal has
to Brooklyn in s
of his earliest
village was i noting that Miss
Levina Rodd was very i11. Miss
Rodd was well known, and as week
after week rolled round, it was
natural to ask how she was getting
on, and the reply always carne that
she was no beater. Time went on
and it became a settled fact that
Miss Rodd was a confirmed invalid
and that such she would continue
until a kind Providence took mercy
on her by allowing death to end her
sufferings. None of the villagers
anticipated any other ending. Our
astonishment can better be imagined
than described, therefore, when Mrs.
Bert Wells hailed us one morning
with "Well, editor, we have some
news for you to -day." "What is it?"
"Why, Miss Rodd has gone on a
visit to Columbus friends." "Why, I
thought she was a confirmed in-
valid?" `'So she was, but she has
bean improving so match lately that
she is now able to help herself a
good deal, and it was thgtight a
change of scene would do hat 'good."
"That is certainly news," replied
the quill -pusher, "and good news
too ; but what cured her': " Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills," replied Mrs.
Welts. We then decided:. tw ask
Miss Rodd upon her return -for an
interview, but it was someitime be-
fore it took place, owing to the
limited time at our disposal between
trains, and partly owing to a desire
to wait and see if the improvement
was likely to prove permanent.
However, after many put -offs, we
finally called at the honte of Mrs.
Doolittle,.& sister of Miss Redd's, wlo
has carefully cared for, Tier• during
the long illness. At the request of
the editor, Miss ilodd made the• fol -

Pills having effected the radical •
change,'and the three of us agreed
that it would be only just that this
case should be brought to the notice
of suffering humanity in the hope
that it might prove a blessing to
more than Miss Redd, who still con-
tinues to improve and who hopes to
again be able to do her full day's
work at no distant date.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills cure by
going to the root of the disease.
They renew and build up the blood,
and strengthen the nerves, thus
driving disease from the system.
Avoid imitations by insisting that
every box you purchase in enclosed
in a wrapping bearing the full trade
mark, "Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for
