Dewey is the worlds hero now.

Last week the Advocate contained an
editorial paragraph claiming the ad-
ministration, in borrowing money to
carry on the war, would pay the bond
holder in gold, but the soldier in Silver,
and denouncing it therefore. We do
not often fluid fault with our contem-
porary, but we do not like too see rank
popnlistic demogogism like that OBJ
tain place in its columns. II it desires
to inject politics into these war
measures we would suggest to it that
it is because of the republican legisla-
ton that the silver dollar is worth as
much as the gold dollar today. 1t has
been one of the tenets of the party that
the dollar paid to the laboring man is
the exact equal in purchasing power
to the one paid to the bond holder, and
the party can be relied on to maintain
that equality. So it will make no diff
ference to the soldier whether he is
paid in silver or in gold.

TO attain its extreme range a gun
must be elevated about fifteen degrees.
While some of the great guns will shoot
twelve miles they cannot be given an
elevation to be effective OH ship board
at more than five or six miles. The
cost of one discharge of thirteen inch
gun is $500, and when battle ship like
the Massachusetts lets loose her entire
battery the cost of the single discharge
is $4,000. One of the thirteen inch
guns cannot be used more than about
one hundred times with safety until it
has to be overhauled and remade.
Modern naval warfare is costly as well
as destructive.

Father Nugent has made another
break. This time it is in criticism of
Congress for its attitude against Spain.
He says in this war we have all to lose
and nothing to gain. He says that If
the same rigorous standard is applied
to judging England that we are now
applying to Spain, the former would
show to a disadvantage in comparison
with the latter, because of her misgov.
eminent of East India and of Ireland
The reverend Father is nothing if not
sensational. lie is more than rea 1y to
draw criticism. An orator of power,
possessing mind well stored with the
worlds lore and of profoundly philo-
sophie turn, he delights in advocating
new and original positions. If these
positions are not we'll taken the orator
can the better show his power in the
defense of them. Whether these posi-
tions which are so often, in the estima-
ton of the public, wrong positions. are
taken out of love of controversy or
because of his peculiar powers of judg
mcnt, we are unable to say. When he
says we have nothing 20 gain by a vic
tory over Spain the people will doubt
the correctness Of his judgment. Will
we have gained nothing when we have
said to the oppressor "thus far shalt
thou go, but no farther" Will we
have gained nothing when we have
stopped the misrule of the Spanish ma
ton Oh the American continent, stop
ped the starving and DISCRIMINATING
slaughter of thousands of innocent
people each year, and reestablished our
profitable trade relations with Cuba?
Will we have gained nothing when we
have demonstrated to the world that
our nation is not weakling, but that
when the conscience of our people is
aroused that we have the power to en-
force such reasonable DEGREES? Will
we have gained nothing by better weld
ing together the different sections of
our country in this common cause?
If Father Nugent's judgment says no
to these questions 1t is atvariance with
the patriotic and enlightened judg
ment of an overwhelming majority of
his cOuntrymen.

Great Naval Guns.

Such advance has recently been made
in the construction of big guns that
the public can scarcely keep pace in
its knowledge of them. The old can.
non ball and solid shot has been re-
placed by the shell projectile in all sizes
from the one FOUNDER up. The modern
armor piercing shell is made of hard
ened steel. Its conical point is care
fully fashioned for the greatest pene-
trating power and it has all the armor
piercing effectiveness of solid shot of
the same shape, while its explosiveness
makes it infinitely more destructive.
1t does not explode when it first strikes
it's mark, but first exhausts its pene-
trating power. 1t must be remembered
that these heavy guns are so mounted
that they are manipulated with great
ease and precision. The gunner pulls
lever or turns thumb screw and
engine power does the rest. He has
before him lens by which he can &C.
curately calculate the distance of the
object aimed at. Then the gun is
as nicely adjusted rs is a.surveyor's
instrument. If the gun is true and if
the vessels motion is not too great,
very accurate work can be done. The
results lately reported by the news
papers show some of the shots made
by our navy off Cuba to have been
made with wonderful accuracy. Our
navy contains many very expert and
scientific men and that is one reason
it is demonstrating to the world its
superiority.
Here is a list of guns in use in our

F. w. Bicknell in the Marshalltown
imes-Republican says that Lieuten.
ant Governor Milliman may he CAN
didate for the republican nomination
for congress in this district this year.
The Logan Observer published in Mr..
Milliman's town says concerning this !:
"Now we speak by authority when we
say that Milliman is not a candidate
for congress in the Ninth. The fore.
going was shown to him and he said
that he had both by word and letter
assured his friends that lie was not a
candidate. We have good reason to
know that his ambition is to serve as
Lieutenant Governor, and that he is
for Mr.. Hager for another term. Two
years ago we had to correct Mr.. Bick-
nell for his statements with regard to
conditions in this district. Mr.. Mill
man is not a candidate for congress"

THE WAR.

This mornings dailies still bring no
direct word from Dewey in the Phil
lipines. Most of the information re-
ceived of the naval battle he fought
Sunday has come from Spanish sources.
The best information is that the Spanish
fleet was annihilated and the whole world
regards it as the most signal naval vic
tory of recent times. The influence of
it is already great. Spain is declaring
martial law in Madrid and other cities,
and the Spanish government is tottering.
The Spanish fleet left Cape Verde is
lands several days ago. Its destination
is yet unknown. Part of our flying
squadron is at sea, perhaps to try to
intercept the Spanish fleet. SIMPSONS

of Cuba.

On Monday the chair in which the
Hon. j. G. Miliman sat as President
of the Senate during the late session,
and which was presented to him by
unanimous vote reached Logan. 1t
was made in Des Moines by Harbach.
The frame Is of solid mahogony, and
upholstered with leather. 1t and its
association are enough to make "our
Kut" feel reasonably proud. We have
known him quite awhile, about 32
years and have seen him pretty we'll
tried, but we can say for him lie was
about as much affected on Monday,
when that chair arrived as we have
ever seen him, but it was an honorable
pride, one which includes his town and
county, pride that he had been able
by the help of the republicans of this
county to have the opportunity to be
useful to all the state of Iowa. Many
saw and tried the chair. We hope this
is only the beginning of honors to come
to the citizens of Harrison county. If
the incubus of democracy could be
shaken off, Harrison county might
easily be in the front rank of the state.
Is democracy worth what it costs this
county? We think not, that is why
we oppose it.-Logan Observer.

is really 10 trick about it. Anybody
can try it who has Lame Back and
Weak Kidneys, Malaria, or nervous
troubles. We mean lie can cure him
self right away by taking Electric Bit
tiers. This medicine tones up the
whole system, acts as a stimulant to
the Liver and Kidneys, is blood puri-
fer and nerve tonic. 1t cures Consti.
patton, Headache, Painting Spells,
Sleeplessness and Melancholy. 1t is
purely vegetable, a mild laxative, and
restores the system to its natural vigor.

that they are miracle worker. Every

The Iowa National Guard is over
joyed at the orders from the Secretary
of War being changed from three to
four regiments. One regiment was 60
ing to have to break up its organization
and its members join the others, or else
that regiment remain at home alto
gether unless call for more men was
made. or course either course would
be very bitter disappointment to the
regiment complying. 1t was thought
the First regiment, the one from the
eastern part of the state, would be the
one to suffer. But relief came. Some
of Iowa's delegation in congress pre-
vailed on the administration to change
it's order to Iowa and drop the order
for battery and take four infantry
regiments. There was great JOY at
camp Mckinley last Friday when this
was announced. Again it is demon
strated that it is fortunate thing to
have men of experience and influence
on our congressional delegation. Sew
eral other states have been wanting
changes, but have been unable to
obtain them. 1t is said in Washington
dispatches that Senator Allison and
Congressman Dolliver and Hager are
credited with going to the powers of
the administration and obtaining the
good result.

Gov. Leedy, of Kansas, is ignoring
the national guard in his state in filling

president. 1t Is al UNANIMOUSLY mean
thing to do. The guard has spent years

tary service be required. But Leedy,
the populist, has political friends he
wants to reward with commissions.
