Marvellous were the changes which the
fifty years had witnessed since the Jubilee.
but they were no greater than the changes
in the method of celebrating the great
event in American history. Noise of bells

expressible delight of young America, but
science, art and literature all received
their due share of attention. Upon the very

Joseph R. Hawlsy extended welcome to

received, declares that Dewey showed
himself worthy alike of the great
traditions of the United States Navy
and of his kinship with the race that
produced Nelson; and a famous
British naval critic is quoted as say
ing:
Admiral Dewey has proved that
American gunners are to-day as SUI
preme in craftsmanship as they were
in 1912, when they shot our vessels
to pieces without receiving much
damage themselves. Such a feat as
the complete destruction of the Span
ish fleet at Manila and the silencing
of the forts by a squadron which
energies intact from battle is almost
incomprehensible.
There need be no question as to
what the verdict of history will be.
The victory at Manila will be set
down not as a victory of American
iron or of American money, but of the
strategy, the daring the skill and the
discipline of American men.-News.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1898-05-12

Two Weeks ago we published sug-
gestion that the old soldiers of both
the Union and Confederate armies
unite to build a warship to be called
the Veteran. The Garrett Journal,
of Oakland, copies our article, word
for word, without even hint that it
is not original. We cannot believe
that the Journal would be intention
ally guilty of such thing.
The above was taken from the last
issue of the Mountain Echo, published
at Keyser, w. Va.
The editor of the Echo is evidently
unacquainted with the calibre of the
editor of the Journal in thinking that
it.(the Journal would be intention
ally guilty. of such a breach of news
paper courtesy, and we believe this is
not the first offense of the Journal
along this line, but the Journal is
only pirate on the high seas of
journalism, and is entitled to no con-
sideration whatever by honorable
journals.
This being the case what better can
you expect, Bro. Echo? He's young
yet, in the newspaper business at
least. Just give him time and he'll
hang himself eventually, figuratively
speaking.

Cost of War.
ton.

The daily cost of the war with Spain
is only known to the inner circles of
the War and Navy Department, but
the cost must be enormous, nearly
$1,500,000 daily. During the last war
the cost to the United States was
about $4,000,000 per day, but then
there were 100000 men in the field.
Great improvement in armament and
equipment has brought correspond
ing increase in cost. The lead out of
which bullets were made now can be
purchased at trifie of the cost then,
but in place of these bullets are used
nickel steel cartridges of peculiar de-
sign, which cost about ten cents
apiece. They have a penetrating
power that is phenomenal. They will
pass through several men at a dis
lance of one mile and will kill at a
distance of three. These cartridges
are small and light, SO that one hun
dred rounds can be carried by a SOL
der instead of forty, the number car
ried by the soldiers in the civil war.
With the rapid firing guns with which
the soldiers are armed about 81 worth
of ammunition can be fired by each
soldier in a minute.
The war will be on the water princi-
pally and the cost there will be enor-
nous. A first-class battleship costs
$4,000, 600 equipped. A twelveinch
gun costs $4,000, and charge for it
costs $1,000. A twelveinch gun can
only be fired from 30 to so times and
then becomes useless. About fifty is
the average life of a gun of this size,
making the wear on it 81, 900 for each
time it is fired, or q total cost of 80, 500
for wear and projectile. A torpedo
costs $4,000 and if one of them should
happen to strike a ship it would de-
stroy it. The complicated machin-
cry, the fuel and the pay Of the men
make the expenses very heavy, even
in times of peace.
The Spanish bonds are quoted at 80
cents on the dollar, while the United
States bonds are selling for 118. The
projectile which cost the UnitedStates
So, 500, costs Spain three times as
much, $1,000, and is in like proportion
sor everything. Heavily loaded with
debt as she is and with sources all
mortgaged, there seems to be but one
possible end for her and that is not
far off.

EASTMAN BREAKS JAIL.
He Is Free and Supposed to Have Fled to
Virginia.


He Is Free and Supposed to Have Fled to
Virginia.
Col. Robert w. Eastman walked out
of Jail at Parsons, w. Va, some time
between 8 o'clock, Sunday night,
when he was locked in his cell, and
8 o'clock, Monday morning, when his
breakfast was taken in and his alb
sence discovered.
Col. Eastman shot and killed Frank
E. Thompson, wealthy lumberman
of Davis, at Parsons in March, 1897.
He was convicted of involuntary man
slaughter, last December, after one
of the most stubbornly contested
trials in the history of West Virginia,
and sentenced by Judge Holt to two
years in the county jail.
Argument on a motion for new
trail for Eastman has been set for
early in June by the Supreme Court
of Appeals of West Virginia.
Sheriff Riley Harper stated yester-
day that Eastman probably had du-
plicate keys, most likely made of
wood. He unlocked two doors in
effecting his escape. The locks were
such that the keys could be inserted
from the inside. Once through the
doors and in the basement, Eastman
easily got to the outside through
half window.
Some time ago Eastman was par
alyzed. Now it is generally believed
that his condition was greatly exag-
gerated or that he was playing pos
sum-"
1t is said that two saddle horses
were in waiting near the jail and that
the fugitive and q confederate gal
loped rapidly away. 1t is thought
that they have gone to Col. Eastham's
old home, in Rockingham county, Va.
Sheriff Harper believes that Col. East
ham received outside aid in making
his escape.
1t was testified to during the trial
of Col. Eastman that an attempt
had been made to organize a posse in
Virginia to effect his release by force.
This was shortly after he was lodged
in Jail for the murder. The court, be-
fore the trial, censured the sheriff for
allowing Col. Eastman too much
liberty. He then received intoXicants
from his friends and was allowed the
freedom of the sheriff's residence.
No attempt was made Monday, it is
stated, to recapture the fugitive.
Eastman was Confederate scout.
He is we'll preserved man of about 55
years and is a daring horseman. He
is well acquainted with the country
through which he travelled in effecting
| his escape.

We proposed, in our issue of week
before last, that the eX-Union and eX-
Confederate soldiers should unite
their contributions to build warship
to be presented to the Government
and to be known as the Veteran.
Some of our brother editors have
spoken kindly of the project, but we
hope all will take hold of it in earnest.
We have not talked with a veteran of
either army who did not receive the
proposition most enthusiastically
Some of them expressed a willingness
to contribute at least five dollars

The item above referred to had es-

the above was sent us last Friday,
which we take pleasure in reproduc-

ing the matter along as fast as posi-

Mayor Mellinger, of Cumberland, > in
his message to the city council insists
upon upholding the rights of the city
and stopping the pollution of the wa
ter supply of Cumberland. Referring
to the pulp mill pollution he says:
This danger threatens our bust
ness interests as well as our future
welfare. If this nuisance is not brok-
en- up it foreshadows the loss of our
municipal water supply. We cannot
be Indifferent to the perils that con-
front US am not disposed to mag
Nifty our danger nor would l belittle
it. | believe in looking matters
i squarely in the face, in seeing things
as they exist and trying to save the
only natural and feasible water sup
ply for our city.
This corporation insolently tells
Cumberland to go hunt new water
supply. for one say no. l can see
no reason why we should abandon
what belongs to us by right and spend
half million to regain what we have
lost. | sometimes think our people
are unfortunate in being a corpora
ton of taxpayers instead of a corpor-
alton of money makers; if the latter,
our interests would be better pro-
tected.
The acknowledgement says:
1.-The people themselves must insist
on forcing this question, to settle
ment. The people must know where
the present candidates now seeking
election stand upon this question be-
fore they vote for them"
