Gov. Shaw is receiving much praise
for the good way IN which he has in,
sisted on having the Iowa troops prop
erly equipped before they have gone to
the front They were detained a little
longer than many thought they ought
to be but the recompense now is that
they are pronounced wherever they go
to be the best equipped of any troops
they meet. Gov. Shaw and his assist.
ants have thus performed duty to the
Iowa boys in having their needs pro-
vided for as far as IS possible. The
parents and friends of the boys and
citizens of Iowa have reason to be
thankful to the governor for the eXer
else of this care.

The Stuart Locomotive last week
contained a good picture OF Osborn
Warren Diegnan, one of the heroes who
sank the Merrimac across the entrance
to Santiago harbor. Diegnan was
raised in Stuart and all know him and
respect him. His mother lives there
now. The town coucil passed resolu-
tions petetioning congress to pass IA
special act to place him i'll the naval
academy as he is a few months past
the limit in age for students there. He
is little past twenty-one. 1t is said
he acted as pilot OH the perilous voyage

The Oregon election held last week
came as Il kind of thunder clap amidst
this storm of war. People had almost
forgotten there were such things as
elections. The republicans out there
elected the entire state ticket, the two
congressman and majority of the leg
islature. The republican majorities
were in excess of those of the preslden-
tial year. The campaign was bold
one in favor of sound money on the
part of republicans. There is little
doubt but republican success this year
will be very complete and this Oregon
victory is a forerunner of the good
results in store.

THE WAR.

The great fleet consisting of thirty
five transports and fourteen conveys
left Tampa Tuesday and should land
near Santiago about Saturday. They
carry about 10000 soldiers, mostly regu-
lars. The 500 marines who were land
ed near Guantanamo few days ago
have been attacked and harrassed
night and day by superior forces, but
they were relieved Tuesday by the as.
sistance of 1900 insurgents and the
Spaniards driven into the city. 1t is
thought another army of invasion is
being organized, perhaps for Porto
Rico.

We all have a chance to subscribe to
the new loan to the government.
Bonds to the amount of two hundred
millions will be issued. The lowest in
denomination is $50, and the highest,
$4,000. Only three per cent per an
mum interest will be paid and you can
perhaps get a better rate elsewhere,
but don't say the common people have
no chance to buy bonds. Blanks for
the application for bonds can be had
at national banks, money order post
offices and express offices.

Terrible as an army with banners"
was big figure of speech a few thous-
and years ago and has Biblical, ryth-
mical beauty about it yet and always
will have, but when the modern poet
wants to grasp an expressive figure
showing terror he says something about
it being as terrible as battle ship in
action, or as terrible as Dewey at
Manila.

The fates are with the republican
party. When the great war OF the
rebellion was on the republican party
was in authority and the credit of car
rying the war to successful close was
largely given to it, and justly so.
Now the next war we are in finds the
same party in power and it will receive
considerable credit from its conduct
of this war.

proportion of such hastily made guns
would burst but so do some of the
most carefully built up pieces, as the
records OF every navy and every prov
ing ground In the world will show.
Now as TO the practical operation
OF the mortar boats. AS l have said
they would be used for defense only.
Under no circumstances would they be
fit to send to sea. but they would lie in
little inlets and behind sand spits run
ming out into the sea, where the water
would be calm. Being of such light
draft. they could go intos very shallow
places. They would fire shells only, OF
course. and. though these shells could
be conical in form, there might not be
time to construct projectiles OF the
highest penetrative, power. But fired
from mortars they would describe the
well known parabolic curve in their
fight and would fall almost perpendicu-
larly on the deck OF ship whenever
they hit, thus strikingits most vulnera-
BILE part. Certainly they would not al
ways hit the mark, but the records OF
the civil war and OF the various Ameri-
can and English tests show that the
modern howitzer can be aimed with
