eral Miles makes no reference to pos
sible complications with Spain, but
says:
Although the general desire of our
people is to maintain condition of
peace with all nations, and the policy
of the government is one Of good will
and peaceful relations with all others,
vet nothing could be more injurious
than to settle in condition of inse-
curity and permit the lives of millions
and the accumulated wealth of many
generations. to be destroyed or endanger-
ed by any foreign power with which
we.are liable to come in contact, and
the general plan for defense which has
been adopted by the government should
be steadily pursued until the nation is
in the condition of security and safety
which due regard for self-preservation
would demand.'

To Catch the worm.

It will be interesting to those who
enjoy plain fishing with angle worms
for bait to know the methods of obtain
ing them when the weather is dry and
the bait hides deep in the ground. If
strong salt water or an infusion of tam
min or walnut husks is sprinkled on the
surface the worms generally come out.
Again, if stakes or spades are driven
deep into the soil and shaken violently,
the operation frequently calls the angle

Today's Election.

: The voters CT the Third Congressional
District arc called upon today to choose
a successor to the late Seth l.. Mill
ken, The issues involved have been so
clearly set forth. in the address of the
Republican district committee that
they do not need special recapitulation
at this time. The Popocratic party adj
vocates the free and unlimite1
coinage of silver at the fictitious
ratio of 16 to 1. The Republican party
advocates sound currency-gold and
silver circulating side by side on the
gold basis, and both worth 100 cents the
world over. The Republican party al
so advocates a return to the protective
system, under which the country en-
joyed the greatest prosperity in its
pending in Congress, which will bring
about this result The Popocrats adj
yocate the continuance of the present
free trade tariff law. and condemn the
Dingley bill in the most unqualified
terms. The voters of the district should
have little question in the choice be-
tween these issues and it is of great
Importance that they should turn out
in force today, and give expression to
their views at the polls.
Let every believer in sound money
and the return of prosperity make it a
personal point today to do all in his
power to roll UP the largest possible
majority for the candidate who repre-
sents these principles.
