admiral Sampson is hunting for it
with the larger ships of his feet,
leaving the smaller ones to keep
up the blockade of Cuba. Schley's
flying squadron has gone to assist
either i'll the blockade or in the
search for and capture of the Span

probable at any moment. Samp-
sons feet destroyed the fortifca-
tions at San Juan Poto Rico, where
it expected to find the Spanish
ships. Ii they go there now, how
ever, in their game of hide-and-
seek to dodge our fleet, they will
not have these batteries to assist
them in case of attack. In cutting
a cable at Cienfngos, Cuba, our
marines were fired upon, two kill
ed and a few others wounded, but
our gunboats replied with a heavy
fire, which dislodged the Spanish
soldiers with great loss-perhaps
800 men.
Our great battle ship Oregon,
which was coming up the Atlantic

danger of an attack from the whole

The Crowley Signal has eclipsed,
in our opinion, all its confreres in
this State in its splendid ''Pros-
perlty number" issued last week,
a copy of which is upon our table,
read and highly appreciated. It
is artistic, instructive and vaIua-
BILE, and fully merits the patronage
Its advertising pages indicate. Bro.
Scott insists that it was gotten up
entirely in the Signal Office at
Crowley, which proposition our
foreman disputes, but then he has
not counted the splendid support
the Signal receives from the live
citizens of that prosperous section.
That kind Of support coupled with
a hustler like Bro. Scott, will make

only 40 are booming him with any degree
of enthusiasm. The Union is not among
the latter. "Old Pease," as the veteran
editor is called by his journalistic
friends, is inclined to be independent in
politics, and is not willing to support
any man for Office if he knows him to be
unprincipled. w. B. Douglass, of Moor
head, Republican candidate for attorney
general, will not be supported in this
campaign by "Old Pease." In conse-
quence of uncomplimentary references in
the Union, the Moorhead man has served
notice that he will institute an action for
libel unless an apology and retraction
are made forthwith. "Old Pease" says
he is ready to prove the charges, and will
not bulge an inch. He is anxious to
beard the Douglass in court and show
him up in his true character. The SYM
pathy of the Irish Standard will be with
"Old Pease' in the trial.

The Michigan Catholic sensibly re-
marks: 1t should be the decision of the
United States government to muster out
every regiment enlisted for the war and
re-enlist for the foreign service. If the
signs of the times are right, The regular
standing army of the United States will
be increased to an efficiency of 100, 900
men before the close of the coming ses-
sion of congress, enough regu.ars to take
care of all our new foreign cares and
leave for home service as many troops
as we used to have in the old army of
$4,000. There should not be an unwil-
ling man sent to any of the new possess
sions. IT would blight the lives of most
of the young men who are enlisted, who
can return to the ways of peace and to
the positions! for which they were train
ed and fitted, and which will have to be
filled against them before they could
serve out two years term of enlist
ment.

we are right in the diagnosis of the diff

that every man on the ticket, from the

The Pioneer Press calls John Lind a
soldier of fortune" because in his OPEN
ing speech of the campaign he humor-
ously said: Il don't know that 1 have
any party. Perhaps it might be said OF
me that am political orphan" The
St. Paul organ of plutocracy then refers
to him as "a wandering comet, who be-
longs to no planetary system" 1t then
goes on to belittle him and says he de-
flames the Republican party that honored
him for many years. IF the Republican
party was guilty of the mlsdeeds which
he now alleges" says the organ of the
corporations. che was plainly partner
and accomplice of it's wrong-doing." Mr..
Lind, while attached to the Republican
party, was personally honest as his rec
ord shows. but seeing what gigantic
wrongs the party was perpetrating in
this state under the guise Of law, and be-
ing unable to effect reform within its
ranks he left it like an honest man and
retired from public life. His fellow citi-
zens of all parties summoned him from
his retirement to become their leader,
and he nobly responded. He is no par
tisan in the sense of belonging to any
political organization. He is the leader
of the people against an organized con-
spiracy of fraud and robbery, and the
Pioneer Press is alarmed for its patrons.

that its sugar would forever go into the

the yoke of Spain for them, the people of

very material part of the sentiment

men who fancy they can make money if
the islands are only annexed. A dis
patch from Ponce. Porto Rico. says:
Many American promoters are at Ponce

the military regulations. an agent OF
the American Sugar Refining company is
here, and many others are seeking bust
ness opportunities, franchises and con-
cessions. All of them are frettng over

The End Of the Wav.

The following beautiful lines were
written by young woman in Nova
Scotia, an invalid for many years with
spinal disease and a great sufferer. but
in whom the look-up-lift-up spirit is
strikingly manifested:
MY life is a wearisonie journey,
I'm sick with the dust and the heat,
The rays of the sun beat upon me.
The briars are wounding my feet:
But the city to which am journeying
Will more than my trials repay,
All the tolls of the road seem nothing.
When get to the end of the way.
There are so many hills to climb up
wards.
l am often longing for rest,
But He who appoints me my pathway
Knows just what is needful and
best:
l know in His word He has promised
That my strength shall be as my
day,
And the tolls of the road will seem moth
ing
When 1 get to the end OF the way.
He loves me too we'll to forsake me,
Or give me one trial too much,
All His people have been dearly purchas-
ed.
And satan can never claim such,
BY and bye shall see Him ard praise
Him.
In the city of unending day, ssI,
And the tolls of the road will seem Moth
ing
When 1 get to the end of the way.
Though now L am footsore and weary,
l shall rest when 1 am safely at
home;
l know I'll receive glad welcome.
For the Saviour Himself has said
So when I am weary in body,
And sinking in spirit, say,
All the tolls of the road will seem moth
ing
When get to the end of the way.
Cooling fountains are there for the
thirsty;
There are cordials for those who are
faint:
There are robes that are whittier and purer
Than any that fancy can paint.
Then I'll try to press hopefully onward.
Thinking often through each weary
day. .-.-.
