Letter, the great wheat speculator.
has, according to the latest adviceS.
gone to pieces financially. Like all
other gamblers, who toss dice once
too often. he seems not only to have
lost what ne had made by his daring
operations, but is unable to meet the
obligations which he has incurred in
his efforts to give.to wheat fictitious
value. His business methods never
were regarded as legitimate by most
people and his failure seems to be q
matter about which very few care
one way or the other.

FIRST ARMY OF INVASION.
Left for Cuba Monday.

Washington, June 13.-The first
army of invasion 10 Cuba is now well
Oh its way, thirty-two transport
steamships. bearing over $4,000 Off
GERS and men, conveyed by battles
ships, cruisers, gunboatS and auxiliary
craft, sixteen in number, having
actually sailed from Key West AT
day break this morning. An authori-
tative statement to this effect was
made at the War Department today,
setting at rest all reports that the
expedition was on irs way, or had
landed last week. lie authorities
made the announcement, for the rea-
son that the time for secrecy was
past. Scouts have made sure that
the way is clear, and that no possible
menace could come from the Spanish
ships Or troops, even should the
enemy know that our forces were
now advancing against them.
With the expedition off, officials
here feel that there will be a period
of comparative inaction for few
days. BY Thursday, at the latest,
the transports will be off Santiago,
and a large American army will make
its landing on Cuban soil. Admiral
Sampson has cleared the way for this
undertaking, and little danger is APP
pretended in getting ashore.

Wars Expensive Operations.

What the present war with Spain
will cost is something which the
future must decide; but there can be
no doubt of the fact that it will be
immense Expenditures are already
accommodating ut the rate OF $500, 00O,-
600 per year.
In the late war between the states
considerably NOR. than this sum was
spent per wear on either side. Speak.
inc of the cost of the late war, some
well Informed writer in McClure's
Magazine says:
The total cost of the war to the
north and south would have bought
the freedom of every slave and LETT
enough to pay all the peace expenses
of the federal government for half IL
century. The divided nation eX
pended money enough during the
struggle to supply every man, woman
and child with ample food for the Ell
tire four years. And the sums spent
and TO be spent since, because of the
war, would feed the people for
another four years. The treasure
destroyed because of that conflict
would purchase the entire 1S5 900
niles Oh rdllTOdu, Will oil ito lOlliIS
stock, stations, yards and other prop
erty, and all the 2, 800 miles of canals
with every boat that plies through
their waters; it would purchase in
addition every vessel flying the
American flag on all the oceans rivers
and lakes of the world; all the
thousands of miles of telephone
lines and everything belonging
10 them; and all the mines and quar-
ries of the nation, including the pro-
ducers of gold, silver, iron. copper,
petroleum, marble and every other
substance that comes from the inter
Tor of the earth. Even all these
would not exhaust the wealth spent
because of that war, since there
would yet be enough to buy every
schoolhouse and church that the
people OF this country now own.
Of course, wars are oftimes inevita
BILE. Fate has decreed they must
come in the onward march of the
worlds development. In the present
war with Spain we may felicitate
ourselves with the reflection that,
whatever may be its cost in the end,
it is waged in the interest of right
eousness, humanity, and freedom,
and that every dollar which this
country will be called upon to spend
in it's successful prosecution will be
hallowed with the touch of consecra-
ton.

The rank and file of the demo,
cratic party are honest and consci-
entious; they believe in good gov
ernment; they are PATRIOTIC; they
cherish the traditions Of their elor-
.ious leaders who SO materially aided
in shaping our country's course,
and while they are slow to sever
the ties that bind them to party,
and are loath to cut loose from the
glories of the past, many Of them
find that the glories of the long ago,
the memories of the noble Jeffer-
son, Jackson, and all the heroes
who illuminate the pages of our
country's history. are rapidly fading
from the minds of the modern
democratic leaders; and instead OF
being guided by love of the pure
and good in the inceptive formation,
it is found that disgraceful
scramble is the result of an insati-
able desire for office and the flesh.
pots. Unlike in the primary stage
OF the party, when the people were
always considered, when the caucus
meant full and free expression of
the people, the rule with many of
the leaders is to FIX the primaries
In the interest of some aspirant, so
that he can be sue of nominal
tion-not only smother the true
democratic spirit, but falsely lead
the people to believe that the work
OF the PUT UP convention is their
full and free expression. Our read
ers have in mind now some notable
examples; for instance, our own
county. Our democratic friends
are ashamed of such spirit, SO
entirely st variance with the true
tenets Of the democratic faith. Such
actions would cause every demo-
cratic hero to turn oyer in his
grave. tits not democracy; it is a
peryersien of the. name to base

OF the immortal Jefferson, and the
long line of heroic statesmen who
succeeded him, will repudiate such
acts at the polls on the Sth day of
