PRICES ADVANCING.

Probably the first of our producers
to realize anything as result Of the
American-Spanlsh war will be the
sheep raisers and wool dealers. Both in
dustries are largely represented in this
state. and from both have complaints
occasionally been heard that the results
of the business do not reach a sum
sufficiently large to justify the original
outlay. incidental expense and newt
able losses through death. exposure and
theft. Now. however. things look favor
able for that fraternity. not only in this
State but all others. The United States

wooden fabrics for soldiers clothing. also

AMERICAN COURAGE.
Some of It's Striking and Peculiar
characteristics.

OF course, there are Americans and
Americans, and some of the latter are
not heroes in any sense; but the Amer
lean American is distinctly courag-
eous individual. He does not face
death with the resigned fatalism of the
Hindoo, or the fanatic frenzy Of the
Mohammedan. He does not go into ac-
ton on the stills of rhetoric and mel
odrama that mark the Romance races.
He does not die with the hooroo of the
wild Irishman, or with the stolidity
of the Anglo-Saxon. He has perhaps
merged the stoicism of the Indian, the
stubborness of the Saxon, and the re-
joicing of the Celt, an amazing cool
ness and an irrepressible humor.
The curious thing is that the typical
American hero is able to see the funny
side Of his own death, the flaws in his
non-idolized leaders; he can grasp the
whole situation with shrewdness and
yet remain SO far from being overcau-
tious or shrinking that he does not
count his life q penn'orth when any
thing is to be gained.
When the call came for Lieutenant
Hobson's crew of six to man and sink
the Merrimac, a feat whose pictures
queness equaled its apparently newt
able fatality, there were hundreds, If
not thousands, ready and eager to an
swer that call. Under the storm OF
shot and shell, and with the imminent
danger of being hoist by their own
petard. they steered the ship and sunk
her with the precision and aplomb OF
a naval review
When Spanish projectiles thronged

THE PITILESSNEsS OF WAR.

Our troops in front of Santiago are
suffering many hardships as all SOL
diers must do. War Is not pastime
and those who engage in it must SUI
fer 1t is for this reason that generous
nations always hold their defenders in
grateful remembrance and are willing
to make provision for them when their
service has been performed.
We read to-day with sorrow of the
privations that are being endured by
the heroes before Santiago. Exposed
without shelter to tropical storm; la
boring along roads cut deep by the
wheels of cannon and supply trains j;
unable to sleep on the wet and noisOme
ground-their lot indeed is hard and
if in time of peace the country should
forget their sufferings at present, it
would indeed be ungrateful.
Their condition is deplorable, but it
is no worse than that of other soldiers
who have fought the battles of the re-
public. There seems to be no COM
plant that the commissariat is def
cient or ill-managed. The medical de-
partment is probably the most perfect
ever found in any army in the world.
Everything that science, skill and
forethCught could devise has been en-
ployed for the protection of the Amer
lean army.
When the veterans of our civil war
think of the manner in which they la
bored and suffered, without food or
shelter-hungry for days living on
what they could forage in country
that had been swept time and again
by contending armies-and compare
the provision made by the government
for the troops at present in the field,
they are inclined to think that soldier
ing has become a luxurious calling
What our soldiers are enduring at
present brings war closer and clearer
to many than ever before, and those
who have inveighed against the gov
eminent pension policy, may now be-
gin to see that the soldier earns all
that he obtains.
The civil war lasted for four years
that were full of privation and suffer
ing for all who were actively engaged.
The nation was grateful for the ser
vice that was performed, as it is CRATE
full and deeply sympathetic with the
brave men now struggling against pit
iless elements and an obstinate foe.
The younger generation knows to-
day what war is better than it ever did
before. The glamor has been dissi-
pated; the romance turned to hard and
cruel reality. The soldier who walked
away with such jaunty air can now be
pictured dirty, powder grimed, sur
rounded by deadly danger, but eager
fer the fight and ready for any sacri-
flee that is necessary in the perform
ance Of his duty.
War. indeed is memorable and mer-

her to have an ice cream soda, and lets
