As he time is approaching when the
question Of who shall be elected TO fll
the various official positions in the State,
and a new Legislature. also, we take the
opportunity to state that THE CHIEF
will espouse and labor for the success OF
the Republican party, as opposed to all
other parties or combinations, whether
sailing under old or new colors.
While We may and do have u per
sonal preferences as to whom we would
desire TO see selected to fill these posi-
tions, from that Of governor down, we
yield all such preferences and distinctly
state that we shall labor in season and
out Of season, at all times aud under all
circumstances, to secure the election Of
each and every candidate who may be
nominated, for any position whatever,
by the Republican conventions duly
called after the style adopted in making
party nominations. We take this stand
as the result Of convictions duly formed
from observation and a study Of the po-
litical parties Of the day.
With respect for the honest opinions
Of those who differ with US on the po-
litical questions which will soon agitate
the people of the State we shall not al
low the columns Of THE CHIEF to be.
com a medium of personal vitupera'ion
or slanderous abuse on account Of such
differences.
A party that cannot base its hopes of
success upon its merits does not deserve
the confidence Of the people, and will
not meet with permanent prosperity,
and for this reason we shall make no at
tacks upon u opponents except in
their character as opponents of princi-
pies antagOnistic to our own.
With the prestige OF many party tri-
umphs in the past. and the expressed
determination Of the people, generally,
to allow only the best men to come to
the front in the future, we predict full
and complete success for the coming
campaign, with majorities that will put
Nebraska forward to being the banner
State of Republicanism.

SPANISH ARROGANCE.
To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:-

10 THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:-
The last act Of arrogance on the part OF Spain is,
believe, without parallel in the diplomacy OF ma
tions, and one which should be made widely
known as possible for the common protection OF
commerce. 1t Is this:-An edict OF the Madrid
Dictatorship addressed to It's consular agents IN
this country-received last Frday-requires them
to levy and collect tax oi forty cents / n gold
upon every package OF whatever KIND, size or
value laden on board OF all vessels seeking clear
al their consulates to any port IN Spain, and
which must be paid before clearance will be
granted 10y the Consul, the immediate effect OF
which Is this:-Iherc are several vessels of DIFF
ferent nationaliteS now In this port that were
chartered during the past few weeks, previous to
receipt Of this order at a freight OF twenty-five
cents per case OF petroleum oil, ten gallons each,
which. under this monstrous edict, must not only
forfeit their entire freight but must pay say sixty
per cent additional In order to obtain clearance.
Is there anything in your experience to equal
this. and can 1t be possible that any respectable
government lmay include the United states in
the category Will submit to such outrage upon
its commerce? How can such tax be levied with
out the usual notice made and provided And,
may ask, what Is the proper course Tor q vessel
to pursue, one OF the number above mentioned,

Wo Arc Powerless Against Gcrmnny's

(from the New York Daily Graphc.l
The story that Germany has been taking mea-
sures with view to obtaining possession OF Porto
Rico Is becoming topic Of uneasy discussion. But
why should we trouble ourselves about ltY Sup
pose Germany were to take formal possession OF
the island, what could We do beyond writing fiery
leading articles in the Newspapers Thanks to
our Western Congressman we have no navy worth
mentioning, and are utterly powerless for oIen-
sive naval operations. or course we cannot at
tack Germany on land and though we might, by
extreme good fortune, succeed IN getting moni-
tor to Porto Rico without having her founder
the way, she would not be able singly TO enforce
the Monroe doctrine against the German feet.
we would denounce IN our newspapers and in
Congress the atrOc0us conduct OF Bismarck, but
we should nevertheless see Porto RICO transferred
into German naval station without being able TO
help ourselves IN the slightest degree
We have latterly pursued the policy of reducing

In the West lndes refusing to buy ST. Thomas

fused to spend money to provide lor the deence OF

and now we must make up our minds to take the
consequences. We cannot have a navy without
paying for 1t, aud II we prefer 10 appropriate the
money for other purposes, we have only ourselves
to blame. The best we can do Is to recognize that
an offensive naval war Is quite out OF our power,
and TO cease to talk about Monroe doctrine which
we are pOwerless to enforce.

ltTOm Tile new Ork Sun.
Some time since we published the fact that the
Spanish Legation at Washington had been directed
from Madrid to inquire of Secretary Fish whether
the United States would be willing to send an
armed force to Cuba for the purpose Of arresting
the civil war there and holding popular election
to determine whether the island should or should
not remain a colony OF Spain; and whether, in
consideration OF Spain's assent to such u move
ment, the United States would assent to Spaln,s
ceding to Germany any other OF her colonial pos
sessions.
There is no doubt that such q despatch was re.
celved from Madrld any more than that 1t has been
followed by sending Bancroft Davis, the notorious
bribe- e-taKer, as our Minister to Germany. And now
