According to the Washington
Times, the organ Of the DEMO-
cratic party at the national capi-'
tai, the leaders Of the democratic
party are making great mistake
in endeavoring to obstruct the
war measures and policy of Pres
ident Mckinley. The Times
says:
'The Republican president stands
before the world today as one pursuing
a patriotic yolicy in. the teeth of un-
reasoning Democratic opposition.
When victory comes to him and
Spain is humbled ia the dust, when
Americas possessions are enriched by
the addition of Hawaii, the Philip
pines, Porto Rico, and perhaps the Ca
naries, Mr.. McKiplep can rise and
truthfully say: This is my work

Canary islands will be the first
point of attack that the fleet may
secure a base for storing supplies,

The Copperheads Of '98.

Sioux Falls Argus-Leader: The
New Y ork Journal administers a
severe rebuke to the copperheads
Of the Popn1ist and Democratic
parties, who are making captious
and Unfair criticism of the con-
duct Of the war. How nicely this
coat fit some people we know in
South Dakota:
The men. having the ear of the pub
lie through control of newspapers or
public station, who deliberately lie
about the president in this moment of
national trial, are contemplate ver-
min. They should be brushed out of
the nations house with the cleansing
broom of the law.
To charge the president with pro-
longing the war for prolonging the
war for political ends is wilful and
traiterous falsehood. No man SO under.
stands the presidents mind as to pre-.
sumo to interpret it in this fashion.
No man outside the very narrowesi
circle of the presidents advisors il
sufficiently informed as yet of the mill
tary and naval situation to be compe.
tent to criticise the conductof the war
The presidents critics are not only
slanderous. but they are ignorant as

heads is not yet extinct in the United

he has introduced a bill providing
for the equalization of the pay of
enlisted men in both army and
navy. so that none shall receive
less than $50 a month.
In view of the difficulty likely
to be experienced in supplying
our army, in Cuba, Porto Rico,
and the Philippines, with fresh
meat when it is, out of reach of
ice or refrigerating apparatus, a
new method of preserving meat,
discovered by a Danish scientist,
and officially reported to the gov
ernn1ent by Consul Hughes, from
Sonneberg, Denmark, is of more
than passing Importance. Secre-
tary Day furnished the war
department with copy Of the
report as soon as he received it.
The new method is both quick
and cheap. Mr.. Hughes gives
the process thus: "The animal
to be used is stunned by shot
from a revolver in the forehead,
in such a way as not to iniure
the brain proper. AS the animal
drops senseless a Cit is made eover
its heart, opening a ventricle, al
lowing all the blood to flow out,
the theory being that the decotn-
posing of the blood is almost en-
tirely responsible for the quick
putrefaction of fresh meats. Then
a briny solution is injected by
means of a powerful syringe
through the ventricle into the
veins of the carcass. The whole
process takes only few minutes,
and the beef is ready for use and
can be cut up at once. "
While the senators who are OPP
posed to the annexation of Ha-
waii will not admit as much, the
Impression is general that a vote
on the resolution providing for
annexation, which was adopted
II
by such an overwhelming major
ity by the house, is in sight, and
will be reached in few days.
With half a dozen exceptions the
senators who will ,vote against
annexation have been conyinced
that nothing will be gained by
staving off vote, since the ma
|jority are determined that con-
sgress shall not adjourn until the
resolution has been adopted, and
have said that they would not
engage in flibustering. An at
tempt was made to get the ma
jorlty to agree to take vote on
the resolution next January, but
the proposition was scorned,
