False Alarm.

Having been taken to task by the
New York Evening Post, among other
papers, for it's recent raising of the
partisan issue in connection with the
Cuban problem, the Chicago Times
which we now quote:
For three years there has been a
growing demand-more urgent with
every passing month-for American in
| tervention in Cuba. This has not come
from any one party or section of the
country. The platforms and speakers
| of all parties have emphasized and re-
iterated the demand for the restoration
| of peace and for the independence Of
Cuba. In his first regular message to
! congress President Mckinley promised
action unless there was good reason for
! further delay. He made this promise
| to the American people, not to any
party. The situation in Cuba has grown
worse instead of better. Spain has con-
effectual blood and not one peseta for
| relief from the famine and fever slay-
| ing Cubans at the rate of nearly one
| thousand a day. Remember the pano-
rama of Spanish cruelty and incom-
| petence has been unroling before the
| eyes of the people of the United States
until they have become thoroughly
convinced that nothing but Spanish
| evacuation of Cuba can bring peace
| either to Cuba or to America.
| 'The duty to intervene in Cuba ex-
| listed before the Maine was blown up
| in the harbor of Havana. That shocked
the American people into a popular de-
| mand for immediate Intervention. The
| demand came from the people, and be-
hind it stalked this alternative for
| President Mckinley: Either you will
do the bidding of the people of the
| United States now or they will visit
| their just wrath on you and your party
at the first opportunity next Novem-
ber. They will not be particular about
the instrument of their indignation and
| will not hesitate to punish a failure to
| obey their sovereign will. This brings
us to the alternative-born of the events
of a century, backed by the sentiment
of civilized humanity and presented by
a united people-'free Cuba now or a
free-silver congress will free Cuba after
next November The question is, Shall
Cuba be saved in response to a patri-
otic popular demand now or by the
edict of a populistic, partisan victory
| in November? What does the New
York Evening Post think will be the
result next November if President Nc
Kinley permits Spain to retain a vest
ige OF sovereignty in Cuba?"
1t is possible to share in our Chicago
contemporary's sympathies without ex-
periencing it's apprehensions. We be-
lieve that at this time the American
people, without regard to party, have
full confidence in President Mckinley
patriotism and are willing, regardless
of domestic politics. to give him a free
hand. The candidate for congress who
should undertake next fall to make this
partisan issue by assailing the presi.
dent would get licked, that is all.

REAPiNG THE U
How Carson Gets off on the Mint
Shortage.

The big Ajax press that has coined
money in the Carson Min for years, has
been taken down by orders from Wash
ingtOn and is on its way east. But for
the dishonesty OF a few employees of the
Min, this course would not have been
taken. When the L. S. Government
officials came here to investigate the
shortage they received no assistance, as
a rule, from the people of this city.
Detective Gallaher told the APPEAL
editor that in the whole coulse of his
professional experience, he had never
been in a community where the majority
of the people appeared to want to throw
obstacles in the way of the ferreting out
of crime. He said that men whom he
supposed were solid citizens %purposely
gave him false information to throw him
off the scent. Up TO the last the men OF
trial had the sympathies of the commune
ity, and the APPEAL for its denunciatlon
of the thieves, lost considerable business.
The Government officials said repeat
eddy that they considered that a COM
munity where so many people seemed
determined to shield criminals was not a
good place for a mint. And the worst
feature of the whole affair was that the
guilty parties left no stone unturned to
east the blame on innocent men.
The Reno journal in discussing this
matter says:
Other causes besides the hostility OF
the Administration are assigned 70,
shipping the bullion and machinery o.
the CaraOn mini to other mints. Fol
years under the Republican rule the EN-
plOyes of the Government, who We're
sworn and paid to protect the public
property at the mint were exercising
their talent in devising ways and means
to plumber the Government. The sue
ceeded in stealing So, 900 from the mini
and when brought to trial for the rob
berry every Republican sheet in the State
raised the howl that they We're being per
secuted. Juries were said to have beer
tampored with and all those in favor o
giving the accused a fair trial were de
nOunced as unpatriOtic by the "trul,
loyal sheets of the State.' which persisted
in asserting that So, 900 was dissolved b.,
acids and swept away in a sewer. An eX-
perienred mint official whO examined
the bullion and books at the mint an,
took an active part in the trial of th
thieves sent copies OF the papers which
defended the plunderers to Washingtol
and made a report which would have re

WHAT IT MEANS.
There Was Really no Other Baking Pow

There Was Really no Other Baking Pow
der That Could Be Relied Upon.
It has been referred to as re-
markable that the United States
Government, in fitting out its ex
petition Cor the relief of the
whaler imprisoned in the Arctic
Seas, should have selected and
included Royal Baking Powder
among its supplies, and no other.
This is not at all to be wonder
ed at. The superior quality of
the Royal made its use upon this
occasion indispensable. The
Royal is the only baking powder
so carefully and perfectly made
that it will keep fresh in all eli
mates, under variable degrees of
temperature and moisture, DUR
ing long sea voyages, etc. It is
the only baklrg powder that will
do 1tA ork uniformly and per-
fectly at the Poles and under the
Equator as we'll as in the United
States.
The Royal IS regularly and
continuously selected for use at
our army posts. in the navies OF
this country and Great Britain
and upon the fleets of merchant
vessels that cover the oceans, ir~
respective of the flag they fly.
All this means that the Royal
is the best baking powder for
home use also. It means that it
has qualities peculiar to itself
which makeits usefulness beyond
that possible for any other baking
powder to attain.

He loved devotedly his mother

In his death the community has

brother; but what is their
loss is Heaven gain.
May Gods richest blessings
