which have made the voyage between
New York and Cuba and Porto Rico
several times without being unloaded.
although they were sadly needed and
reauisitions were made for them over
and over again. There was only one
ambulance at Santiago, and the sick
and wounded had to be transported
in army wagons, if they were trans
ported at all. The fault lies with
both the quartermaster's department
and the medical corps. They both
neglected the Simplest rule of trans
portation. and had no means of know
ing what they had on board their
transports or its destination. 1t
might be well for the secretary of
war to appoint another commission
to search the other transport to see
what it can find.

The most ridiculously absurd cam
paign argument that has vet been
made this fall escaped from the lips
of Senator William Z. Mason, and it
was to the effect that the people owe
il to themselves TO return a republi-
can congress, for if they don't Spain
will take it that the administration
policy has not been upheld in dealing
with the foreign question, and hence
will be obdurate and difficult to bring
to terms. The assumption is one that
it is impossible to conceive could have
emanated from any one with views
less contracted than those of the noisy
Illinosian.

it may be necessary to strike the

President remarked a few DAYS
ago it may be easier to send fleet
across the water than to send an
army into Cuba. If peace doe:
not come after the capture oi
Porto Rico, few shells dropped
into Cadiz, Barcelona, Valencia
or some other seaport, may hasten
the war to its conclusion. At the
same time, this government could
take possession of Canary and
Balearlc islands and establish coal
ing stations in the Atlantic anC

Porto Rico is sure to become
possession of the United States

THE question is often asked
whether U. S. soldiers are pre-
mitted to mail letters free of
charge, or whether letters to
soldiers are carried free of charge.
The law premits soldiers to send
their letters, the postage at single
rates to be collected on delivery.
The section of the law on tn s
matter says:
"Letters written by officers com.
missIoued or non-commissioned,
and privates in military, naval or
marine service of the United
States, to be transmitted unpaid,
mast be plainly marked soldiers

PEACE NOT IN SIGHT.

Peace is apparently remote.
The end of the war is not IN sight.
To this conclusion the President
and his advisers have reluctantly
come, even though their judgement
is in opposition to their hopes.
They look forward now to long
war, unless they can execute some
stroke which would be absolutely
fatal to Spain.
When the war began many keen
observers predicted a prolonged
contest. They based their belief
on the knowledge that wars with
Spain from the time Of Napoleon
had been long drawn out, with
Spain persistently fighting against
great odds, and refusing to sur
render even after the tide Of war
had irrestistibly turned against her.
All the dominant traits of the
Spanish people are being empha-
sized again. Against tremendous
odds they are still struggling.
Senior Sagasta has more than once
stated that as the United States
was the aggressor Spain would not
yield until this country appealed
for an ending of the war. There
was time, some weeks ago, when
the powers sought authority to of
fer peace to Spain on condition
that Porto Rico and the Philip
pines be returned to her. This
proposition was scorned by the
United States, and since that time
Spain seems TO have settled down
into forlorn hope, willing to suf.
fer, hut not to surrender.
1t would seem as if Spain would
have to give up the unequal con-
flict as soon as Santiago, Porto
Rico and Manila have fallen. AS
a matter Of fact, unless the powers
compel her then to plead for peace,
she is not apt to consider the war
ended. Her policy apparently is
to involve this country in a long
and costly struggle, IN the hope
that upon us will be inflicted an
enormous debt and a terrible death
roll. If she shall compel US to in
wade Cuba, contesting every inch
Of the island from Havana to Cape
Maisi on the one hand, and Cape
San Antonio on the other, there is
no question but that this country
will pay very dearly for the island.
At Porto Rico, also, an army will
have to be maintained, while Gen.
Merritt will require fully the 20
900 men which he has estimated as
adequate for the Philippines.
Within the next two months
$4,000 American soldiers will be
in the field at the Philippines,
Porto Rico and Santiago.

THE corporation that will in the
present condition of affairs, delib-
erately undertake to rob the gov.
ernment or that imposes outrage
Gus terms for the use of its cor
porate property, is entitled to no
consideration by the authorities or
by the courts. Such corporations
are the creatures and benefciaries

be made to understand that the

PRESS COMMENTS.

1t is stated that railroads in Ari-
zona pay only about one-half the
taxes they did fifteen years ago.
As we have more railroads now
than then and the roads have not
decreased IN value, there must be
something wrong with the material
which fixes the assessment on those
roads. This is certainly the only
logical conclusion which can be
arrived at in the face of the facts
in the case.-CourieT.

Two Ways of
Getting Glasses (!

One is to go to a firstclass
optician, have your eyes prop
erly tested and get you what
you need the other, to go to
a merchant who keeps specta-
cles, make a grab in the bag
as it were, get a pair that
don't fit you (although it may
seem so for the moment) and
run the risk of running your
eye sight entirely.
If you need the services of
a good optician we can serve
you. We make no charge for
examination and charge a
moderate price for the glass
es.
