Cecil Rhodes will now proceed to
make II warm for his Uncle Dom Paul.
The ancient Uncle has made the good
fight pretty we'll according to his lights
and has considerable battle left in him
yet, but must yield to progress rather
than to the superb individual repre-

The United States Treasury is in the
peculiar condition of having too much
money on hand. The big loans were
promptly subscribed by the people and
the termination Of the war so reduced
expenses that the surplus Is something
enormous. Some of the spectators
down here would suggest a dividend.

The Governorship campaign is on

1t has been extremely pleasant dur
ing the past few days to feel the alb
sence of militaryism from the principal
public building, the old palace. Tho.
fact has made people feel that at last
sign OF force was absent from govern
ment here. 1t has seemed a realization
OF the hope Of the moral influence of
Old Glory.
1t may be expected now that one
mail will bring news Of trouble with
the Cuban patriots and the next infor-
nation OF trouble with the Philippine
insurgents. The nation preaching per-

the time and tact that can be brought
to the task.
Conflicting stories come from Cuba.
The one thing upon which the dis
patches agree is that there are soup
kitchens" In Havana. The civil Gov
ernor there tells Clara Barton that
local assistance is not needed, but that
he believes there Is considerable suf-

BY getting themselves whipped so
quickly the Spaniards played it rather
low down on thousands Of the men
who volunteered into the service Of the
United States as soldiers. 1t Is true
that some of these volunteers want to
keep on soldering. Many Of them will
go into the regular army. The citizen

mercial life have had all their plans
sadly deranged and at no small cost.
There were whole lot OF steamers
running to the Klondike once, but
there Is no business up that way for
them now. Some OF these tubs are to

OF Seattle, though not all the Seattle
steamers are of the makeshift class. It
Will be fine to have mail more often,
but the boats will continue on the line
only so long as there Is business. Not
a great deal OF business can be created.
There are lot Of yellow stories
printed to the effect that ex-Secretary

severe arraignment of Gen. Shafter.
Well, Shafter was successful. Sherman
has been talking much and wildly and

1t seems simply impossible
hat Gen. Miles should forget his posi-
lion and his country and his army.
