The sole immediate object OF the govern
ment Of the United States Is to have
ths spanish troops In Cuba leave and 60
elsewhere.
The Congress did not declare war upon
Spain in the resolution directing and
empowering the President to clear Gu ba
OF spaniards According to whether or
not Spain chooses to resist the demand TO
got out lies the issus Of peace and war.
II Spain declines to act ont, which. she
practically has done and every body ex-
pected she would do, the President is en-
powered to devote the naval and military
forces of the nation to compel her to
get out. That will be done. What Spain
win have to say to the act Of expulsion
remains to bs seen. Nobody supposes
that she will fail to ofser resistance to 70
In the first place ana come over here
after revenge In the next place. But so
far as the United States are concerned
our governments work and duty are
completed when the last representative
to Spain's authority leaves Cuba.
What follows will depend upon spain.
II we are attacked we shall defend our
selves II we are hurt by an attack the
next step will be to make Spain suffer
for the injury.
In the eyes of the American nation
Cuba, by the resolutions of Congress is
today free and independent A foreign
foe Is on her soil, brow beating her people.
The United States propose to drive out
that foreign foe as they would have driven
out the French from Mexico thirty years
ago, had the Mexloans themselves not prov
Cd strong enough to do it without help.
Because the Cubans have not been strong
enough to drive out the Spanish invader,
for In light OF that resolution spain is
now On invader on the territory of a
people who 'ase and OF right ought to be
free and Independent and for ether con-
siderations of damage directly TO the in !.

THE GOOD FRUIT OF DELAY.

THE GOOD FkUIT OF DELAY
| The effect of the diplomatic delays In
the Spanish mess under which the
| people have SO much chafed and fretted
is now visible In the excellent fruit OF
very complets preparation by our govern
ment for the issue Of war.
Ships and sailors. forts anc guns are
ready and ut for fight. From peaoe
footing. maintained without any alarm
for generation. the country Is now on
. war footing. Time to prepare has
made this possible. II the government
had plunged frantically into war four ov
i've weeks ago, when the people were
demanding revenge fer the Maine atroc-
ity, the military and naval arrangements
would have been ina state Of chaos. Ths
result Of q conflict with . nation In

But that result would have been delayed,

money. II the country had undertaken
to thrash Spain at any time mp to the
past week or 90.
The situation as to Spain was differ

certainly three years. She has had little

piomscy. There has, Of course, bsen op-
portunity for consideration. for plan

us not only to get our fleets and armies
together but to create the navy and the
army as they must exist In shape for
actual war.
Probably we do not realize how poorly
prepared for war. even with third rate
power, was our government on the morn
ing when the report Of the Maine disas-
ter first warned the country that war was
among the immediate possibilities But
we DO know that today the government
is In first rate lighting trim and that the

MILITARY POST AT SHERIDAN.
Assistant Secretary of Wal Starts the
Matter.

Sehridan. Wyo., the location com
mende6 by the secretary of war as an
ideal location for an army post. is be-
ginning to partially realize the dream Of
its existence-that of having a full regi-
ment of cavalry post established near
the city.
General Manager Holdridge of the
Burlington yesterday received from AS
sistant Secretary of War Meiklejohn
this telegram:
directed yesterday that $12, 900, ac-
cording to the estimate OF quarter
master, be allotted Tor temporary bar
racks for two troops of cavalry at Sher-
idan.
This is believed at Burlington head
quarters to be the entering wedge which
will, with sufficient pressure, induce the
government to maintain a permanent
cavalry post, as desired. once that the
soldiers are at Sheridan.
General Manager Holdridge at once
left for Sheridan to assist the people Of
that city in their enterprise.

ed the office numerous embarrassments.
1t has worked a hardship to none. is a
of simple right and justice, and
a re-enactment of the easu in its
present form is earnestly and respect
fully recommended"
Mr.. Owen has given the matter of in
surance careful study and his advice
in this matter is therefore worthy of
serious consideration by the legisla-
ture. Upon this subject he says
Under chapter % of the session laws
of 1888. fraternal insurance companies
doing business under the lodge system
are not required to report to the in
surance department Of the state, and
are not subject to our insurance laws.
This, in my judgment, is a matter
which should receive prompt attention
at the hands OF the Legislature. The
enactment of a law requiring all such
nually a statement showing their
financial condition, paying a small adj
mission and annual fee, and giving
such further information as the
insurance commissioner may call
for, could inf1ict no injury whatever
upon the solid, legitimate associations
at present in u state, and would pre-
vent, in the future, the operations of
various so-called fraternal societies
which for some time past have perpe-
trated outrageous frauds upon our peo-
pie. The wildcat" associations are a
constant to the genuine, sub
stantial lodge insurance societies, and
most stringent measures should be en-
acted by which they may be e~ffectually
barred from the state.
Several attempts on the part of this
office to proceed against the agents OF
these companies violating our insur-
ance laws, have shown c~onclusively
that the statutes are inadequate to
reach this class of offenders, and suit
able legislation covering this matter is
most earnestly recommended.
Our present insurance laws do not
cover plate glass, burglary, credit.
steam boiler and title insurance com
panies, and as many applications from
such companies have been received by
this office requesting admission 10 our
state, legislation covering this question
would doubtless be opportune, at this
time.
THE laws for the punishment of per-
sons soliciting insurance in this state
unlawfully seem to be entirely ineffec-
tive, and the enactment of a most
stringent measure by which such Of
tenders can be brought to justice and
whereby the authorized companies and
the people of our state may be thor
oughly protected. is seriously needed.
In order to make the law effective,
would respectfully recommend that a
measure be enacted whereby the person
taking the insurance from an unauthor-
lied agent or company be made equally
guilty with the solicitor. Such a law is
at present in force in one of our states
and is found to be productive of most
satisfactory results. In addition to the
above, l would recommend that the in
surance commissioner be authorized
and required to revoke the license of
any insurance company which in its
own capacity, or through any agent,
shall be discovered soliciting business
in this state mlaWfuuY."
