The Republican primaries to-day in
; Ohio county should call out good vote
pf the party. The tickets in every dis
trict contain tie names OF representa-
tive men suggested for the various
Offices TO be flied and for the delegations
to the congressional and county conven-
tons. No difficulty will be experienced
in making selections of men qualified,
not only for position. but to represent
the party sentiment In the matter OF
choice fos Congress and the legislature.
In the congressional matter there are
but two candidates before the public,
and upon each ticket the suggestions for
delegates representing each candidate
are properly. designated This will avoid
confusion and doubt, and every voter
can express his choice for congressman
direct at the polls.
The friends Of Capt. Judge
Campbell win doubtless be out In force,
and e$fair expression will doubtless be
the result. Notwithstanding the day is
q busy one with many merchants and
othersin the city, no one should be too
busy to devote the few minutes necs-
gary to record his vote. jas5,. : K. ISL

.Gr,de Of Lieutenant G.n.ral.

The general comment Of the press OF.
the country upon the projection to re-.
vive the grade OF lieutenant general in,
dicates that the suggestion Is not. popu-
lar, because It is not regarded as timely.
tits not believed that a general officer
should be given this grade until he has
earned It. Commenting on the sugges-
ton the New York Times says:
OF course there Is theoretically room not
FOR one lieutenant general only but for sew
eral. II the command of q brigade in
wolves brigadier and the command or a
division n major general, the command OF
q corps ought to call for lieutenant gem
eral. and there should be q full and simple
Seueraf' in command OF each, army. The
Spanish army and navy are much better
equipped In this respect than our own.
There are said to be over go lieutenant
generals On the army list, and we know
that the queen took sweet naval counsel
with no fewer than twenty-elsht adnirals
at, once. It Is hard 10 see how We can
stand up against such q superiority OF
rank But We seem TO do It. Admiral
Monto1o was satisfactorily smashed by a
pnin commodore since made an admiral,
for cause, and our Atlantic fleet Is under
the command of an acting admiral who is

That which We call brigadier will fight
quite as well under that name as IL he
were field marshal. and can wait for his
Lieutenant Generalship until he has earn
ed 1t. 80 90 ~ s5sgIs45
The latter point Is the main one. The
only way that the government can as
certain who has the competency to COM
mand the larger bodies of troops Is by.
test in war. The civil war demonstrates
this and it is a proposition which ap-
peals to reason. The Times remarks
that, as we have Just got through max
ing generals Of men who distinguished
themselves during the war OF 1866,
thus recognizing merit, there should be
no higher promotions than brigadler and
major generals except for service in the
resent war. The feeling is that the
grade Of lieutenant general should be
left open for some one who especially
distinguishes himself. That may posi-
bly, be the view that will be taken Of
the matter at Washington. -

spain,s Desperate Situation.

There Is a.yisible weakening of;Span-
izh Statesmen from the high ,bombastic
position they have been occupying since
the outbreak of the war. An example
Is found in the speech made BY Senator
Navarro Rodrigo in the Spanish senate.
Thursday. when he exclaimed that Eu-,
rope and the whole world Is Committing
the greatest and most horrible crime OF
Iese humanity in, allowing Spain to be
crushed by brutal weight, OF numbers
no mention being made OF the fact that
St Is just such O crime committed by.
Spain that the. United States Is putting
q stop to. n
This admission Is In remarkable con-
trast tothe bounbastlc tone Of the Span
1sh speeches we have had reported to
US heretofore. There was no confession
OF Spanish weakness. The United States
was 70 'be wiped from the map. Span
fish "honor" would prevail agains. the
.cowarlly Yankee pigs" Cuba would
be saved without trouble. and after that
an invading army from Spain was to
sweep over the United States and do all
sorts Of absurd and impossible things.
Spain never, never, would Yield.
When. European diplomats suggested
peace Spanish statesmen, so-called, re-
jected oil proposals with ,scorn. 9 When
President Mckinley went to tie last
measure to secure without war the free
dom OF Cuba, which, had Spain granted,
would have saved her the humiliation
che Is now undergoing and all her terri
.orfal possessions aside from that island,
/. Spanish statesmen severed diplomatic
! relations with the United States, defed
I its power, and preclpitatcd the declara-i
ton OF war By this country. sTheir.pe
pie were told shat &c would be an easy
matter X to conquer the Yankees, and
they, poor ignorant ones, kept SO BY
their degenerate government, believed,
1t all. When Spanish rcverses occurred
they boldly announced Victories for
Spanish honor.''---and SO on and until
now We find the statesmen OF SPAIN
bringing, before European powers. whose
ldvicc they rejected SO scornfully,pray-
/ ing for help; and denouncing as u crime

It is told OF ,ex-President Rutherford
B. Hayes that while attending school
at Kenyon College, he was In the habit
of taking daily walks into the country.
These trips were shared by two inti-
mate companions, who were OF "A fun
loving disposition. which frequently got
them into trouble. On one occasion they
more than met their match at repartee
In an old farmer whom they met on the
highway. The long white beard OF the
farmer gave him a patriarchal appear
ance, and while he was approaching the
students they arranged to give him a
"jollying," which eventually terminated
in the discontinue of the youths.
One OF them dotted his hat with
great reverence and respect, as he said,
Good morning, Father Abraham!" <
2 The second saluted the old farmer,
and said, Good morning, Father
Isaac!" 5.s-'1i-z4.
Mr.. Hayes, not to be outdone in afta-
bility and politeness, extended his hand
as he said, Good morning, Father ia,
cob!" 81
Ignoring the outstretched hand OF Mr..
Hayes, the old farmer replied: Gentle
men, you are mistaken In the man. I
am neither Abraham, Isaac, nor Jacob,
but Saul. the son OF kish, who was sent
out to geek his fathers asses, and. To-!
I have found them."-Boston Herald.

The Philippine lnsu.t,..,n, rent

Anxiety growing out " the Philippine
situation Is much relieved by the re-
peated dispatches to the Sf1ect that tho
insurgents who have Manila hemmed
in md are In practical control OF mat
tiers. while waiting for the United
States troops now ,enroute, are strictly
observing the rules of civilized warfare
and arc respecting .hfe and property.
These reports, which come from reliable
sources, remove the approximations that
their victories would be followed. by.
scenes of unrestricted slaughter. %iI
Itseema that these islanders, who
have been fighting for their liberation
from brutal Spanish rule, have demon :,
strascd already the injustice OF the estl-
mate that has been placed upon their
characters by the, Spanish government.
While It is true they havo IN the past re.
sorted to some revolving acts, At now up.
pears that the presence OF the American
naval force, and the influences brought
TO bear BY Rear Admiral Dewey. have
had a wholesome effect. With the Gull
mination OF their long struggle against
their oppressors in sight passion Is be-
ing admirably restrained. A report that
inner Manila, which is walled city.
will notlbe attacked until the United
States troops arrive to cooperate with
them, IL 1t proves true, Is an indication
that Dewey has succeeded in his efforts
to keep the rebel forces under restraint.
Il In view of this character OF news we;
have been receiving from Manila, and
the evidence that the insurgent leader
is keeping good faith with the American
commander. the Spanlards, who are APP
pealIns to Europe to prevent the butch;
cries they profess to fear In the event
OF the capture OF Manila, are unneces-
sarily alarmed In the meantime, the
Spaniards will do well to, take some les
sons IN the art Of conducting civilized
warfare from these same Insurgents,
whom they have advertised to the world
as blood-th thirsty eayages. III
