A little political talk is being indul-
ged in over the state, and candidates
for various offices are mentioned
This mentioning does not always
mean that a man is an avowed cam
didate, because men who are promi
nent, who are available, or who have
aspired to something, often are men
toned by persons talking about poll
tics and candidates, without any au-
thority from those whose names may
be mentioned. Among the names
now being discussed for republican
candidates congressman receive the
most attention. They are Edw ard
VanCise of Deadwood, eX-Congress-
men r. j. Gamble of Iankton, and
]. A, Picker of Faulkton, Samuel
Elrod, of Clark, c. II. Burke, OF
Pierre, State Treasurer Philips, OF
Deadwood, Judge Haney, OF Mitchell,
w. S. Glass, of Watertown, l.. b.
French, Yankton. From this num-
Der in all probability the two con-
gressional nominees will be selected.
The next place receiving attention is
governor, and the names talked Of
are H. NJ. Greeley, Kirk u. Phillips,
Major Picker, J. l.. Lockhart, A. o.
Ringsrud, Harvey Rice, George Sis
by, O. S. Clifford, l.. c. Taylor, DR..
Finnerud.
Possibly some of these men are not
candidates COR either place, but their
names in connection with these Of
fees forms current political rur 80
which are given for what they a.e
worth. Republicans everywhere are
confident of winning the state ii the
party is fortunate in the selection OF
it's ticket. Very little ment on is yet

American readers have had consid-
cradle amusement in reading the al
legged comments OF Spanish papers up
on this country and her people, some
OF which have been published in this
paper. But suppose We candidly
look at the other side. Suppose some
of our yellow journals, those that are
whining and kicking at the admins
tration, are taken over to Spain and
translated? What would the Span
iards think? Suppose Spanish pap
ers reproduce articles showing that
Dewey cut the Manila cable to pre-
vent home interference; Suppose they
translate articles about the strategy
board; about congressional action;
about general INSTRUMENTATION in

owning the President and debating
the war to force more u. S. bonds;
about the same fellows trying to
avoid war because they own Cuba or
Spanish bonds; about martial law at
Key West; and many other ridicu-
lous things, known here to be either
pure sensation or for political pur-
poses. Guess it's about "a boss
apiece" These things would appear
just as singular to Snanish people as
their own comments appear to us.
If we give credence to what some of
their newspapers say, why should
they not do the same with us a.?

Heroic Yankees.

One OF the most heroic incidents ,es
the present war is in connection with
Admiral Simpsons effort to close
up the narrow channel of Santiago
harbor. He determined to blockade
the mouth of Cervera's bottle by
sinking a large coal ship, called
Merrimac. To have this done some
persons must go on the boat past
Spanish batteries and mines, and APP
parently into the very Jaws ofdeath.
The Admiral called for volunteers
from his vessels, and 400 men Of
fered their services-all willing to go
to death if the officer thought it nee
essary. Sampson selected Lieut..
Hobson and Z men, and on Friday
they steamed the Merrimac into the
channel, and sunk her by an internal
torpedo. Unable to return to their
feet, the brave Americans rowed to
the Spanish flag ship in the harbur
and gave themselves up. They are
now held as prisoners OF war.

WORD PICTURE.
A Graphic Description of the Santiago
Blockade.

Blockade.
The following description of San
tiago de Cuba and the American
blockade comes from one of the dis
patch boats: American Fleet, June
3, Via Kingston, Jamaica, June A.
Sixteen war ships Of the United States
and 1000 men are drifting here I'M
der the shadow of Cuba's towering
mountains. In the mountain side is
small opening, a rift that leads
away, twisting and turning, up to
the city OF Santiago, fifteen miles
from the sea- In this narrow harbor
stream lies the feet of Admiral Ger
vera. All day and all night the eyes
OF the American sailors are fixed up
on the narrow entrance to the har-
Dor, as the war ships slowly drift up
and down past it.
ferched high on one side of the en-
trance to the harbor is Moro Castle,
which for two centuries has looked
down upon all vessels entering there.
On the opposite point small palms
and tropical shrubbery grow rank
and green, almost hiding the battery
that has been placed at that point.
Sailing along the shore, four miles
of, one would scarcely distinguish
Moro Castle. 1t looks like thou
sand other rocky spurs that project
from the mountain sides all along
the eastern shore of the island. This
is the picture OF the Santiago block
AIDE to-day.
The landscape is one OF great
beauty. The mountain scenery is ma
iestic. Great peaks, green robed, rise
5000 feet above the sea, with sun
lit clouds obscuring them and then
drifting away from their cleaning
SUBMITS.
Down in the deep shad owed blue at
their base are the warships silent
and grim, drifting and waiting.
At night the moonlight makes IL
beautiful picture of the mountains
and sea,
Imagine the ocean washing from
the hills of the Rocky Mountains
with a tropical sky above all, and
you have a picture OF Santiago de
Cuba and the the American blockade
to-day.
No attempt is made by the fleet to
go into the harbor. Mines are near
the entrance, and it would be suicid-
al for large ships to attempt to enter.
So there is nothing to do but sail up
and down past the harbor mouth.
The Spaniards have plainly laid a
trap for the American ships. Har-
bors are mined: batteries have been
planted all along it on either side.
and the Spaniards are well equipped
with good guns and smokeless pow
der. But the Americans will not fall
into the trap. One ship may be sac
rificed; but, lift is blown up and sunk,
it Will block the harbor and prevent
the Spaniards from getting out.
