THE STATE Election.

The official returns from eleven of
the fourteen counties ia Nevada are
received and they show that the peo-
pie of the Silver State are true to the
principles for which all parties on
tended, until the trusts and mOnOpo-
lies declared against them at st.
Louis last June. William jennings
Bryan received four votes for every
n cas for Mckinley, and Newlands
for Congress received more than
twice as many votes as both his opon-
ents combined.
This result ought to forever settle
the status of the State politically and
is "a magnificent rebuke to the influence
Of the few men who set partizianshiI
above state interest. 1t also shows
the insignificant numerical strength
Of the 80 called Populist Party OF
Nevada.

THE BATTLESHlP TEXAS.

The pattle-ship Texas built by an
English firm turns out to be a worth
less gingerbread affair, in reality a
floating coffin. Being built by an
English firm what else could be ex-
pected. The Engiish can construct the
most perfect hattle-ships in the world,
but she is not constructing them for
the use Of the American navy. She
saves whatever is good and efficient
in the design of battle-ships, for her
own use. No one can blame her for
that. The only persons to blame are
the short sighted people who in man
aging the affairs OF Government for
Americans turns her naval Cefenses
over TO the hands Of the English. OF
course this plan is disastrous tC
American interests, just as our An
erican system of finances, dictated by
England is disasterous to our com
mercial prospects. If this thing keeps
up long we will be sending to Eug
land TO secure Generals for the army
- of the United States. Such IA course
would be in perfect keeping with every
thing we do.

1t is well known the Wisconsin
State Historical Library at Mad
ison is one of the richest in the
country on the early explora-
tions Of the American continent.
Knowing this fact, one OF the
commissioners Of the Venezuelan
questionrecently wrote President
Adams asking him there was
any material in the library Of the
Historical society bearing upon
the question now at issue be-
tween Venezuela and Great Brit
ain. In accordance with this
suggestion, Mr. Hansen, one of
the librarians of the university,
is carrying on Investigations
under the direction of President
Adams. The library contains
about two thousand volumes of
historical and geographical
works in Dutch relating mostly
to lands occupied by the Neither
lands in the sixteenth, seventeen
tn and eighteenth centuries.
Many Of these relate to South
America, and several of the most
important are not mentioned IN
the catalogues Of the great Ii
braries Of the east. Mr.. Hasen
has found a large number of very
carefully prepared maps of the
very region in dispute. One Of
the most important of the series
is a Dutch geographical work in
129 volumes, covering the per-
iod from 1747 to 1895. This
collection has four index volumes
which abound in references TO
the region lying between the Is
quibo and Orinoco rivers. Eff
teen different works, apparently
of not little Importance on the
subject, have already been ex-
anined. The significance of these
works is IN the fact that the
rights of the Dutch, whatever
they were, were conveyed to
Great Britain by treaty in 1914.

A Pittsburg confectioner has
been sued for $4,000 damages
by the father Of a little girl to
whom he sold cents worth Of
that vile cheap colored candy
which is found in so many small
shops. 1t was found to contain
plaster of Paris which cannot be
digested or removed from the
child's stomach and the little one
is''gradually wasting away. Here
is warning to dealers everywher
who are tempted by the large
profit involved to send deleterious
confectionery instead Of the pure
article, while parents cannot be
to careful in instructing their
children not to by cheap stuff off
cred in SO many of the small
shops.

At recent conference held be-
tween the president and a few
members of the faculty of the
University of Wisconsin and the
presidents Of the state normal
schools, a settlement Of all diff
ferences between the state uni
versity and the normal schools
was happily accomplished. The
university establishes an adj
vanced course in pedagogy to
which the students of the normal
schools will be. admitted on di-
ploma taking rank as juniors in
the university. At the compile
ton of their course they will re-
ceive the degree of bachelor Of
philosophy in pedagogy. Other
students admitted from the nor
NAL schools will be received to
the Junior class, but will be re-
CURED to make up such element
arv studies in the freshman and
sophomore years as they have
not already have completed.
This arrangement was unani-
mously recommended by the rep
resentatives of the various inter
ests involved, and has been
unanimously adopted by the
regents of the university. 1t is
expected that similar action will
be taken by the regents of the
normal schools.

coarsely written and badly blotted sheet
reading as follows:
Bill Doe is a bad boy. He says his (blot)

lNQUISITION REVIVED.
Spaniards Are Subjecting the Ma
tives of the Philippines to
Most Cruel Tortures.

San Francisco, Cal, Nov. 25.-News
from Manila brought by the steamer
City of Picking yesterday from Hong
Kong shows that the Spaniadrs have
resorted to the torture of natives and
half castles of the Philippines which sur
passes in its cruelty that practiced by
the Chinese mandarins in cases of the
most atrocious crimes. They are also
charged with confscating the estates of
wealthy halfcaSteS and deporting these
wretched victims to Fernando Pc on the
west coast of Africa, a place which has
a climate that quickly proves fatal to
the stranger.
These statements are not given on the
strength of reports of refugees. James
W. Davidson. a well-knoWna correspond
ent, was recently commissioned by the
Hong Kong press to go to Manila and
cautioned to evade the press censorship,
and in several letters which he Struggled
through the lines he tells of what he has
seen and what he has heard on good
authority.
According to Mr.. Davidson, the instru-
nlents of torture used in the Spanish in
QUESTION three centuries ago have been
kept in the monasteries of Manila and
were brought out recently and used to eX-
tort confession from natives. Most of
the suspects have been arrested and have
been kept in jail in Manila, subjected
to hideous treatment. Mr.. Davidson
also intimates that the leading powers
of Christianity will be called upon to
interfere and put an end to torture which
revive the worst features of the Span
ish inquisition. tr
