The River Traffic Boom.

The Wheeling Intelligencer makes
extended mention of the improvement
in means of river transportation the
past 10 years, showing that there are
today double the number of packets
topping at Wheeling, Steubenville
and other points than Is years ago.
Today IA packets land one or more
times a week there, and with the COM
pletion OF the side-wheeler City of
Pittsburg, now in course of erection at
Marietta, the number will be made Is.
The boom in the local river trade
has come because larger traffic, both
freight and passenger, is being hand
led in This part of the Ohio Valley be-
cause profits will not pay railroad
freight.
The latest additions to local steam
boat trade are the Avalon, which is tc
become the sister boat of the Ben HUI
in the Pittsburg and Parkersburs
trade, and the Urania, which is run
ming in the Wheeling and Gallipoli!
! trade.

Mortality Statistics Of the Spanish
War,

No greater rebuke has been admin
istered to the yellow journals and par
tisan politicians posing as critics of
the conduct of tne war than is con-
tanned in the mortality statistics fur
nished by H. Clay Evans, commission
er of pensions.
Mr.. Evanss figures are official and
include all deaths from the beginning
of the war to Sept 80. The total
number of deaths mas been 290G. Of
these 1O7 were officers and 2739 pri
Yates. Only SOC were killed in battle
or died of wounds. The remainder
died of disease, most of them of yellow
fever.
The total strength of the army, reg
ulars and volunteers, was about 290, 900
so that the death rate of the entire
campaign was about one per cent.
This is incredibly small when COM
pared with other wars.
The death rate in the civil war was
nearly II per cent, Notwithstanding
the fact that the soldiers OF that war
were net subjected to the deadly eli
matte conditions which were response
D.e for the majority OF deaths in the
Spanish war.
The spaniarGs sent to Cuba during
the last Cuban rabe---on about 100000
soldiers, 10000 of whom died Of di-
sease in two years.
But still more striking contrast is
found in the history OF the invasion
Of --avana in by the British and
American colonists. That campaign
lasted five months, or one month
longer than the late Spanish war,
The British and American force num-
bereq a 600 men, Of whom 1900 died
and were buried on Cuban soil.
In view Of these statistics it must
be apparent that the small death rate
in the late war was due to unusual
precaution and urexampled sanitary
and medical skill.
To the unprejudiced mind it is
something Of which to boast rather
ltan to criticisa.-Chicago Tribune.

why should anybody who desires
the welfare of the country vote the |
Democratic ticket? Democratic rule
would bring us another low tariff and
even the anticipation of it would, as 1t
did in 1892 after the election, and still
more after Mr. Clevelands inaugural
address, promising or rather threaten
ing, to give the country such low tar
if, close our factories. Democratic
rule would mean free coinage of silver
at ~ to / and greenbacks galore to be
redeemed with other greenbacks, and
that would have the immediate effect
of setting to work that terrible endless
chain, because Democratic admins
tration would in all probability refuse
to redeem the government notes in
gold. Then all government bonds
would Immediately tumble in prices to
As cents on the dollar. The panic
that would ensue would let the four
lean years of Cleveland appear as a
mild type of prosperity. OF course, il
anybody does want to put the country
in s,ich condition he must by al
means vote the Democratic or the
Populist ticket, which should be done
as the former have completely sur.
rendered their so-called principles tt
the articles of faith to the latter.

There Is No Cuban Debt.

There is no Cuban debt for Spain
to weep and wall over before sympa-
thetic European thrones. There is a
Spanish debt" conceived in corrup-
ton and perpetuated in governmental
iniquity. If Spain cannot bear this
burden, so much the worse for the
boRdholders, who were willing to help
her pile up debt when the impossi-
bility of her paying it was easily seen.
Sympathy for Spain over this debt
is pure crocoullian hypocrisy. -ne
nited States is no task master in re-
pudiating it in behalf of Cuba, but
acts for common sense and common
honesty.-Philadelphia Press.

What has the Democratic party done
to redeem it's pledge for the improve
ment of the condition of the people?
Since 1885 it has had possession Of the
administration twice. At the close Of
Mr.. Cleveland's first term the falling
off of exports had cost the producers
of this country s319,34O,637 as COM
pared with the four year term Of
President Arthur. At the close of Mr..
Cleveland's second term the loss in ex-
ports was sS4,144 ,26S, compared with
the four year term of President Harri-
son. Under the Harrison administra-
tion our exports were s7S4,699,22S in
excess of the exports under Mr.. Cleve-
lands first term. At the same time
the daily wages of nearly all mechan-
les except compositors had been great
ly reduced after the last four years OF
President Cleveland's official occu-
pancy of the White House, while all
over the world the wages of the same
class of mechanics had increased
showing that the decline was due to
domestic political conditions.
