Comfort in Defeat.

The CHRoSIcLE.s report Of the result
OF the election in Fall River county
which appeared in last weeks issue
giving McGee majority Of one vote
over Wilson, was based upon q tele-
phone message from Hot Springs, which
proved to be erroneous, the official
count giving Wilson majority of 2
votes out of total vote OF 74S cast in
the cotnty.
This result giyes three out of the six
Of the Black Hills counties to the re-
publicans-an even break. A study of
the returns affords comfort for the re-
publicans, showing, as they do, repub-
lican gain in both of the Hills circuits.
In this circuit Bryan received major
ity Of 405 last fall. which exceeds
McGes's majority by l07, his majority
in the circuit being but 203. The re-
publicans east Of the river, we'll as they
have done, have really done no better
than the republicans of the Hills. The
Black Hills gave Bryan a majority of
LAOS last fall, and the Bryan electors
had majority In the state of about 800,
which means that, east of the river,
Mckinley must have had about 1000 or
more mujority. In the Hills we re-
duced the Bryan majority of l,405
nearly thousand votes. If there is
any comfort or consolation to be gained
by the fusionists from a careful and
candid study of these results, we confess
our inability to see just where il comes

The Cuban Crisis.

A Washington correspondent Of the
Chicago Tribune takes different view
Of the presidents attitude toward Cuba
from that embodied in most OF the dis
patches. 1t says that If autonomy is
refused Mckinley will take the initia-
tive in a policy looking to the inde-
pendence of Cuba, rather than wait for
congress to do so; that Gen. Lee, who
is abont to return to cuba, has been as
sured that If reforms are withheld or
rejected this government is prepared to
act in such a manner as will speedily
bring the revolution to an end, and that
without such assurance Gen. Lee would
have refused to return.
1t is said that when Gen. Lee reached
Washington he had an interview with
First Assistant Secretary Of State Day,
to whom he said he would not 60 back
and become witness to the cruelties
practiced by the Spanish soldiers, the
injustice and indignities entailed upon
American citizens, the universal poverty
ard starvation, without the power of
affording any relief. And then, speak
ing for the president, Judge Day assured
the general that such steps would be
taken to terminate the war as would
meet with his hearty commendaiion /;
that the president did not expect that
any beneficial results would follow the
exchange OF notes (now going on) be-
tween the two governments, but that
these diplomatic preliminaries would
unite his hands and leave him fr, e to

by certain newspaper correspondents as
being hostile to Hanna in the matter Of
his reelection to the senate. Defining

recently said: The campaign Of 1897

Local Adyertisinr.

The suther of "Fowler's Puuicity,"a
work devoted to advertising infolma-
ton and advertising forms, has alto
gether corr ect ideas as to the usefulness
of the local newspaper. He declares
there is only one indispensable adver-
tising medium through which the local
merchant is 10 make himself known

grander examples of journalism than
half the SO called dailies. This shows
that the writer is shrewd and obsery-
ing man, as we'll as an honest one, and
he gives further proof of it when he as
seTts that no great daily can ever blank
ct the local newspaper, from which has
been evolved all the other newspapers
of the world as we'll as all the magazines
and periodi calls.
Local information in a newspaper is
the only information that all the people
read. They want first 10 know what is
taking place among the people about

the local columns Of their home paper,
advertisements and all.

chant who cannot use the home news

him." our author says. The trouble is
with this merchant, not with the paper.
Mr.. Fowler reaches the heart of things
and states a great truth when he says,
The majority of local editors and pub
fishers are philanihropists as we'll ss
money earners, and they make their
papers as good as the support given
them warrants." We always knew 1t.
AS to the form Of advertisements i'm a

while they do not occupy too much
space they generally contain from two

firm name generally occupies type from
two to five times too large. The name
Of the goods should be printed at the
top in local newspaper, not the name
Of the firm. "The local merchant should
