The War,

Tuesday Of this week Sampson and
Schley bombarded and silenced the for
titications guarding Santiago, and they
planted the stars and stripes upon some
of the ruins. Amongst other damage
inflicted tho first-class Spanish cruiser,
Reina Mercedes. was sunk and most of
her crew drowned. The forts in front of
Caimanera we're also laid low the day
following, aud the town abandoned by
the Spanish, who for some time main
tained stout resistance. At the Phil
ippines .the rebels are closing in on
Manila, and the Spaniards have been
compelled to take refuge in the fortified
part OF the town. 1t is the opinion of q
good many that the war Will soon end,
as the people of Spain are at last catch
ing on to the true state of affairs. In
stead of victory all along the line, as
they are led to believe by the authori-
ties, just the opposite turns out to be
the truth, and they don't relish it either.

That Old Game Law.

a number of prominent amateur Col
orado sportsmep are discussing plan
whereby they propose to take the fish
commission out of the hands of the poll
ticIans and place it on strictly non
partisan basis. They deem it advisable
that instead of one commissioner, who is
appointed by the governor, and who
draws SlG0 per month, three be ap-
pointed, from different political parties
preferably, to serve two, four and six
years respectively, and without remuner-
alton. They desire these men to be
taken from the ranks of the amateur
spOrtsmen of the state.
No action has yet been taken by the
sportsmen to carry out their plan for re-
vision, but it is anticipated that they
will soon call a general meeting of all
who are interested and frame a bill
which they will push through the legis-
la,ure if possible to do so, On the

The war so far has established one
thing at least. That is, the superiority
of the American navy so for as it goes.
We mean, of course, the superiority of
American ships. The squadron in
Asiatic waters sailed seven thousand
miles, fought the most wonderful OF
battles and came out unscathed. The
Oregon" primarily put down as
coastdefense battleship, circled the
lower half of the continent, stopping
only four times for coal, and at the end
Of the 1900 mile voyage reported ready
for duty. The Sampson and Schley
fleets have been incessartlY worked for
weeks, but no report of trouble to any
of the ships has come in. The world
will have to admit that the United
States builds frst-c class ships.-Sait

Constitutional Amendments.

There are three constitutional amend
ments pending in congress. One of
these relates to the changing of the
presidential inauguration day from
March to May 4. IT also provides for
the extension of the term of the next
congress TO the same time. The argu-
ment adduced in its favor is the general
incemency of the season at Washington
in March, and so imperiling the health
of those who participate in the inaugu-
ration ceremonies and in many other
ways hindering its success.
The second amendment proposed re-
fers to the election of senator's by the
direct vote Of the people instead of by
the legislatures, as at present. The
amendment has already passed the
house, but it is not likely to receive the
requisite two-thirds vote Of the senate.
The latter has come to regard itself as
too select to come in such close contact
with the dear people.
The third amendment is designed to
provide for certain emergencies not fully
covered by the constitution. AS matters
now stand, the electoral vote for presi-
dent and vice president is canvassed on
the first Wednesday in February, and
should both die before March there
would be no one to take the presidency.
1t is to provide against such contingency
that the amendment is proposed. The
first and last will doubtless be presented
to the states, but the second will prOba
bly, be smothered.-St Louis Republic.

THIS Is REpUBLICANIsM.
The President Is Looking After the
Interests of England I'm
This Country.

In America the opinion was definite
ly reached that Amasa Stones mil
lions had more to do with his selec-
ton by Mr.. Mckinley of John Hay as
secretary OF state than any other fac
tor.
We have from England an altogether
different view. The London Times
says, in speaking of Mr.. Hays recall
from England: I'VE must console our
selves with the reflection that the for.
-ign affairs of the United States are
in the hands of a man who has learned
from actual observation what are the
necessities of the foreign policy of
England"
No formal alliance, offensive or de-
fensive, has been struck up between
England and the United States. That
would require treaty which the pres
ident would be obliged to submit to
the senate Of the United States. and
the president might we'll hesitate to
re Their such esteem lest his popularity
suffer among the people of the United
States, who are not ripe for any such
alliance.
But we may gather from London
that policy which will not be declared
openly or formally will be given OPP
Grafton by an indirection.
Mr.. Mckinley selects for the head
CT the department OF state in the
United States man who has learned
from actual observation what are the
necessities not of the United States
but OF the foreign policy of England.
We may reasonably suppose that IT
is the English view that Mr.. Hay goes
into the cabinet of Mr.. Mckinley as
England's particular REPRESENTATIVE.

OUTRAGEOUS AND UNJUST.
The DingIey War Tax Measure L. a.
Bad His Tariff
Iniqufty.

From his stronghold in Maine Mr..
Congressman Dingley gives out the ut
terance that "the war taxes. some of
them, will probably be permanent"
The probably" is well put in. Be-
yond any reasonable doubt Mr.. Ding
ley speaks for the republican party.
Contin1e it in legislative power, and
the war taxes that came so conven-
iently to the aid of the treasury, COW
ering up the failure of the Dingley
tariff measure as revenue producer,
Will be continued.
The people of the United States, who
have 10 pay war taxes and all other
demands of government, are yet to be
heard from. Presumably they will not
care 10 pay war taxes in time of peace,
and they will want statesmen at WASH
mgton who will readjust the burdens
of taxation so that they may fall with
some thing of evenness upon the
wealth of the United States.
Mr.. Dingley will be retained because
in his drastic tariff measure. which
fen heavily upon all other citizens of
the United States, he Disseminated in
favor of his district. See Section 20
Of his act, providing that the produce
of the forests of the state of Maine
upon the st. John river and its trib-
ntaries owned by the American citi-
zens and sawed and hewed in the prov
ince of New Brunswick by American
citizens, the same being otherwise
manufactured in whole or in part,
which is now admitted into the ports
Of the United States free of duty, shall
continue to be so admitted.
Mr.. Dingley took care to abandon IN
behalf of his own constituents a re-
strictive policy, whereas he made GER
tain that the restrictions should OPP
crate against every other constituency
in the United States.
Mr.. Dngley's tariff measure was an
outrageous injustice. His subsequent
war taxation measure is extremely
vexatious, and borne only because the
needs of war prosecuted by the
United States demanded the cheerful
acquiescsnce of the people of the
United States. but now that the war Is
at an end it is the duty of the people
in their own interests to take care
that there shall go to congress repre-
sentatives who. lifting in part the bur
den of taxation, custom house or 9TH
er, will SO rearrange the whole scheme
of federal taxation as to make its en-
actions fall as well upon the great ac-
cumulations of wealth in the country
as upon the slender savings of him
who labors with his hands.
