MIR. Hognn,s Platform.

So it seems that the platform of the
Hon. J. II. Hogan, the Populist candidate
for Governor, is to be prohibition. The
leading article in the latest issue of the
Populist paper intimates pretty strongly
that the Populist leaders think they can
get more votes on that issue than on any
other.
The claim is made In the Populst paper
that Col. Gambler is friend of barrooms.
From that claim il is to be inferred that
the Populist leaders think that Col. Can
dler will be selected in the June primary
as the Democratic candidate for Cover
nor. They may hope to beat him in the
primary by trying to make it appear that
he is whisky man, or they may only be
beginning their campaign, thinking that
Col. Gambler will be their opponent.
1t is hardly probable that Col. Gambler
is such a friend of whisky and barrooms
as the Populist paper says he is. If he
were an advocate of throwing the state
wide open to barrooms it is probable that
the fact would have been become known
long before this. His astute opponents in
his own party would not have missed such
a fine opportunity to make capital against
him. His friend and warm advocate Rev
Sam Jones, would not be so active in his
behalf if he had record in favor of bar.
rooms.
The probability is that Col. Gambler
stands squarely on the Democratic plat
form in the matter of whisky-that is. h,
believes the best way to settle the whis
ky question is by means of local option
More than two-thirds of the counties OF
the state have voted out whisky, and fl
is probable that about all of them vii

MANI" asked the married man, according
to the Philadelphia Times. "Well. she's
the latest thing out. You find her every
where you go-in the street car on the

is the first thing l hear in the morning,

Why, the other night, just after having
retired, my wife heard a belated newsboy
crying Extra war edition; latest news
from the front" Nothing would satisfy
her but a copy of that paper, so had to
dress and go out and get 1t for her. There
wasn't anything new in it, but she was
satisfied with knowing that she was light
up-to-date with the latest war news. Mat
ters have been going from bad to worse
since then, and some new developments
crops up every day. Yesterday morning,
after we had all been seated al the break

II the statement that the Spanish squad
ron mas reached Santiago de cuba is true,
the Spanish admiral has shown considera-
be skill in GLIDING Admiral Simpsons
feet. Sun, taking into account the fact
that all of the warships in the Spanish
squadron are swift cruisers, the perform
ance Of the Spanish admiral is not such a
wonderful one.
Admiral Sampson had one swift vessel
in his fleet, namely, the New York, but
the New York could so no faster than the
slow batueships, the Indiana and Iowa,
and the still slower monitor Terror. AS
matter Of fact our navy is not so wei
supplied with swift cruisers as the Span
ish navy is. We have a splendid navy
what there is of it, for defensive purposes
but it is greatly lacking in vessels for
swift, aggressive warfare. Among the
ships now under construction there
are no swift, well protected cruisers car
rying powerful guns. We are feeling the
need Of such ships now.
Assuming that the Spanish squadron is
at Santiago de Cuba, will our navy pro-
coed to that port end attack it, or wait
until it undertakes 20 leave there? In
view Of the fact that the Spanish ships
are the swifter it wouldn't be advisable to
take the chances of catching them on the
high seas. They did not come across the
Atlantic 10 fight, but to convoy ships con-
tanning supplies for Gen. Blanco and his
army. Therefore they win get away to
Spain again if they can without fighting.
But what good will the supplies landed
at Santiago de Cuba do Gen. Blanco and
his troops? There is no easy way of get
ting them to Havana. We had not estab-
lished blockade of Santiago de Cuba be-
cause of the understanding that the insur-
gents control about all the eastern end of
the island However. it is probable that
there isn't much dependence 10 be placed
on the insurgents. There has been a vast
deal oil talk about them, but they don't
materialize when they are wanted The
belief grows that the number of them is
small and that in driving the spanlards
out of Cuba they will not be of much as
sistance.
If our feet can catch the Spaniards in
Santiago de Cuba the Spanish ships will
never get back to Spain-that is, if our
ships keep ahoat, and we have no doubt
they will Therefore, it is sincerely to
be hoped that our fleet will find the Span
ish ships at Santiago de Cuba. If the
| Spanish squadron should be destroyed we
would expect a speedy ending of the war

Improvement in business.

Commercial travellers, whose territory
includes this and other Southern states
report that while the seasons trade is sew
eral weeks later than usual, on account of
the excitement due to the beginning
of the war, the indications are that it will
equal, if it does not exceed in volume that
of last year. 1t has improved greatly
within the last week, and the signs of still
greater Improvement are very gratifying.
The people are beginning to understand
that the war will have no great effect up
on the country's business-that is, that it
will not depress business very much, If at
all 1t will cause the prices of many ar
ticles to rise--in fact, prices of a good
many articles have advanced without any
apparent reason. Owing to the large ex-
penditures of the government the volume
of money in actual circulation will be
largely increased, and the taking of 10000
men from their occupations will make the
demand for labor greater. Hence, the in
crease in prices of necessaries of life is not
likely TO greatly inconvenience wage earn
ers.
IN THIS city CHeTe mas DeeI SOME COIH-
plant about dullness in the naval stores
trade and the difficulty of securing ocean
freights for naval stores. 1t is probable
that the ground of that complaint will
soon be removed. The demand for naval
stores will be active as soon as it Is under
stood that the war will not interfere with
naval stores shipments, and when the de-
mand becomes active prices will advance.
Gradually the unrest throughout the
country, caused by the war, will disappear
The people will become absorbed in their
occupations The men who have volun-
teered will not of course be forgotten, but
they will be missed chiefly by their rela-
tives and friends. Even a great battle
on land or sea viii hardly stir the country
as II was stirred by Dewey's victory al
Manila. The country is so vast and its
resources so great that it could carry or
such a war as it is now conducting fol
years without causing a greater disturb
ance in business than that which has al
ready taken place.

Queen of the Coon Hollow Danes last

Derby conduct" The Queen, replying to
the polieeman's accusation, said:
Sunday nights We just have social times
like parties, and let the men come. We've
done everything, Judge, you can think Of
on Sunday nights, from Emancipation par
ties TO melon teas. So we wanted some
thing new. and last night, when the social
committee was thinking, some one said,
Let's have a cor nation and make Cynthie
queen
Il said No at first ladies' said I,
how can be a queen tonight and go 10

wouldn't let me off. Some one shouted,

had picked thar out for the thrope because
it was different from the chairs, and the
fire was out.
Then they all got down on their knees

after he had received his commission from
the Governor of Nebraska he had received
the proffer of the services of fifteen COM

state In most instances the Bryan

are said 10 form the nucleus of the COM
panies. While Col. Bryan is not a mill
tary man, it is announced to be his pur-
pose not to wear the honorary title and
depend upon somebody else to do the work
but to march at the head of his men and
lead them in the fight. 1t is to be hoped
that he will achieve as much success as
a military leader as he has as a political

Philippines, and they have solemnly dis
avowed any intention of anneXing CUBA.

There has developed dividing line be-
tween two factions in the Tillmanite Dem
ocratic party iu South Carolina. On one
side is radical faction which claims to
stand by the original Tillnanism, while on
the other is faction inclined towards
conservatism and a healing of the breach
between the reform" Democracy and the
"old line" Democracy. The present Gov
ernor of the state Mr.. Ellerbe. is a lead
er of the conservatives, and is a candidate
for reelection. 1t appears, however, that
the other faction was the stronger in the
state convention the other day. A resoiu-
ton endorsing the state administration
was voted down, and in its place was
adopted resolution affirming allegiance
to Democratic principles. 1t was held that
the first resolution would be an endorse
ment of Mr.. Elerbe, and it would not be
fair to the other candidates for the con-
yention to endorse him.

Talk of the mother lode" of the Klon-
dixie gold fields has been revived by the
reports of a wonderful find which come
from Seattle The story is that a verita-
bic basin fun of gold has been discovered,
and that it is on American territory. The
Pande Basin is a canon $50 feet deep which
has been pretty well filed by a glacier
with gold bearing gravel. Exhaustive as
says of the gravel are alleged to have
shown as high as $3.50 of gold to the ton,
and the deposit is said to be from three to
twenty-five feet deep. One hundred mil
lions of tons of the gravel are estimated
to be in the basin. If this story is true, the
greatest gold deposit in the history of the
world probably has been located. Unfor-
tunately the story lacks confirmation.

Mr. John Wanamaker is illustrating his
versatility. He is making spicy speeches
all over Pennsylvania in behalf of his can
ddacy for the governorship, and at the
same time conducting a business whose
trade per year is larger than the cost of
running the whole Pennsylvania state
government, and recruiting a regiment for
the war Mr.. Wanamaker expects TO lead
his regiment in person. He will arm and
equip the men at his own expense, and
will march with them as their colonel.
Every one of Mr.. Wanamaker's employees
who volunteers will have his salary con-
tinued to him during the term of his ser
vice, besides receiving a life insurance pol
icy for $1,000 for one year, without cost
to himself.
