comprehended every incident in the his
tory of that particular ship-a detailed
biography, as complete as could be oo-
tanned in the case of a well known
public man.
The report on this ship is not excep-
tional. Every British ship has a like
record in the intelligence bureau. So
has every Spanish ship. The Navy De-
partment has felt no anxiety at any
time about Camaras fleet, because it
knew all along how incapable were its
ships.
When the Secretary of the Navy
wants facts about the Spanish navy, he
notifies his intelligence officer, and in
three minutes the index cards marked
Spain" are on his desk. On these
cards he finds a reference to every
Spanish subject in the library or in the
secret archives in the department. If
he wants to know anything about ar
mored cruisers, he can send for the
cards on cruisers" and he will find the
| whole subject completely covered by
reference. OF course, SO much of the
cruiser reference as refers to Spanish
cruisers will be entered also under the
head of Spain" and it is chiefly this
cross indexing of subjects which keeps

no reports on it's work, but the reports
of naval officers who have observed for

( than one officer present on our ships at

PLEASE EXPLAIN.
Stockton Independent: In 1861 the
private soldier was paid S13 per month
in legal tender. A couple of years later
this S13 in greenbacks would purchase
about $3.50 in gold. AS gold, accord
ing to the Bryan Populists, has appre-
ciated so as to be worth more than
double what it was worth then, the
$3.50 was really worth only $2.2o in
the high priced gold of our day. The
soldier of 1898 gets $3.50 in gold per
month. This pay is in the so-called
appreciated" or high priced gold
Therefore, the private soldier is to-day
paid nearly seven times as much as in
1863. Will some logician among the
Bryanites please explain why this is
true? Or better still, why it is not
true?
ENTHUSIASTIC REPUBLICANS
Pomona Progress: Those in attend
ance at the Republican Convention in
Sacramento say that it is the most in
tensely enthusiastic of any that has
been held in years. Never was harder
work done by friends of candidates
and never did good feeling prevail more
universally among the various clans
than at this convention. The party
leaders are universally hopeful and
feel confident of putting up a winning
ticket.
THEY KICK.
Mail of Woodland: There is a strong
disposition on the part of the good,
honest, sincere Democrats to rebel at
the manner in which Maguire's nomi-
nation has been engineered by the
push" element, and also the platform
they are called upon to swallow and
digest. We recently heard two prom
inent Democrats say that they would
not take the medicine that has been
prescribed for them.
ONE VIEW OF MAGUIRE.
ST. Helena Sentinel: The nomination
Of James G. Mcguire has shouldered
great responsibility upon the voters of
California. Mr.. Mcguire, like the pres
ent incumbent, James H. Budd, is
demagogue of the first water, and for
some unaccountable reason, dema-
gogues have a faculty of securing a
large vote even though their admins
trations are disappointing. For in
stance, witness the career of Governor
Budd. Mcguire is all things to all
men; he is a goldbug and member OF
Croker's Goldbug Club in New York.
silver man in California; single taxer
to the tenement-house voters in san
Francisco, and an anti-railroad man to
the farmer. He stands silently by and

for the fear of losing a rev votes.

San Jose Herald: In taking military
possession of the Philippines, which are
are at the same time distracted by rev
olution, we become responsible for their
welfare, at least temporarily. 1t Is
right enough to keep steadily IN view
the general doctrine of democracy re-
garding government, but this seems to
be a case in which the general principle
is best exemplified by the particular ex-
ception. The question is really the orac-
tical one as to how far we are willing
to go to introduce democratic ideas and
methods among an oppressed people.
Democrats and Republicans may break
across party lines on such an issue.
HOW TO SAVE OUR FORESTS.
Los Angeles Herald: The careless
camper is a public enemy, but one who
ever succeeds in eluding capture and
punishment. We may never hope sue
cessfully to appeal to his intelligence,
his mercy or his sense Of responsibility.
for he is destitute of these attributes
The only way to preserve our forests
is to guard them. The regular army of
the United States, when the business
of driving the Spaniards from the
Western Hemisphere is accomplished,
might not find better employment than
in protecting the timber of the national
parks from an enemy more insidlous
than the Spaniard.
TROUBLED ABOUT MOUTHS.
Colusa Gazette: The mouth is the
front door of your face; it is the aper-
ture to the cold storage of your anat-
omy. Some mouths look like a hole in
the wall to admit new door or Win
dow. The mouth is hot bed for tooth
ache and bungalow for oratory. The
mouth is the crimson isle to the liver.
1t is patriotism's fountain and the tool
chest for pie. Without the mouth the
politician would be a wanderer on the
face of the earth, and go down to an
unhonored grave. 1t is the grocer's
friend, the orators pride, the dentists
hope. 1t puts some men on the ros-
trum and some in Jail. 1t is the tempt
alton lunch counter when attached to
a maiden, and tobacco's friend when
to man. It's the home of that unruly
member the tongue. Without it mar
ried life would be a summer dream and
a dude would lose half his attraction.
HALF HOLIDAYS.
San Jose Mercury: The subject of
half holidays for Saturday afternoon
has once more been taken up by many
of the California papers, and it would
be exceedingly gratifying should the
movement this time meet with sue
cess. Yet Notwithstanding the many
powerful reasons for the Inauguration
of the half holiday system, the "Mer-
curry" fears that the merchants of Cal
| ifornia are not educated up to the point
| Of adopting it. But, as the San Fran
cisco Post" says, the Saturday half
| holiday is an established institution in
many countries I'm the Australian
| colonies it has become a feature of the

THE WARS DURATION.
Tt May Continue for Six Months But
This is Not Expecred.

Washington, April 22.-OpiniOns as
to the duration of the war between the
United States and Spain differ widely
The prepOIderance of sentiment is that
actual hostilities will not last longer
than three months. although the war
like situation may continue for SIX
months or a year Senators and repre-
sentatives have spoken of the affair
lightly. and with one accord think II
ought to be over in a month The pres
ident takes no such optimistic view,
and his military and naval advisers
think the war is likely to last from
three to six months. The naval auth
critics do not look for very disastrous
results. but ii is significant that pre-
paratfons have been made for four
years war.
What puzzles the men who are di-
recting the army and navy movements
of this country is the apparent lack Of
effort on the part of Spain Her navy
is badly scattered, and far from the
field of possible conflict There is no
thought among the army and navy
strategists in America of carrying on q
warfare on the east coast OF the At
