The lack OF proper hospital facilities
in the American lines has been accent
uated by the arrival of 10000 refugees
from Santiago within the American

Mares, far from seeking to prevent men,
women and children from leaving the
city. Is encouraging the exodus from
the city. Responsibility for the protec-
tion of those non-combatants rested up
on the Spanish commander until the
women and children were admitted
within our lines Now the RESPONSE
bility of feeding and sheltering these
helpless thousands falls upon the
Americans General Shafter has re-
lieved General Linares of tremen-
dous embarrassment and our army has
been saddled with 1t. Many of the
refugees do not conceal their hatred OF
the Americans even while accepting
our food and protection. The eondi-

AS an interesting commentary upon
the loud claims of the republican pres
OF this state on the eve of the last cleo
tion, that change of administration
would plunge the state into financial
bankruptcy, we call attention to the
wave OF bauk failures in the cities of
the state Immediately following repul-
)lcan Victory. In connection with re-
cent republican attempts to credit the
late wheat boom t" republican admin
lstration in the nation, we call tho at-
tention Of the farmers of Minnesota to
the recent shrinkage IT over fifty cents
per bushel in the price of their staple
product. From this fraudulent and
fake "prosperity' of an approaching
money standard and so-called repub-
lican ''business'' administration.
based upon famines in foreign lands
and gambling in wheat pits and on
stock exchanges, we appeal to a stable
just and enduring prosperity resting
upon fundamental economic principles
and upon the great and tried causes OF
the worlds political, moral and mater
ial progress.
