As NIGHT be expected the republ-
cans in Congress are preparing to re-
turn an equivalent to their Wall Street
masters for finally permitting them to
declare war. AT present there appears
to be no more need of q s5OO,OOO, 900
bond issue than there is for heaven
for Spaniards. There is 1920, 900, 900
cash in the treasury and when it is re-
membered that all the preparation for
war and the increase in the navy which
republicans have applauded for being
so efficient, hava been made OH $780,
100000 appropriation, it is evident that
the $500, 900, 900 proposition is more of a
favor to the bond brokers than a bene-
fit to Uncle Sam.

THE United States Supreme Court in
LincOln's time declared an income tax
law constitutional. Two or three years
ago the same court declared it uncon-
stitutlOnal unless as an emergency
measure. 1t now strikes us as a good
time for the Senate to insist on a good
strong heavy income tax as a war
measure and refuse some of the pct
revenue schemes of the Reed end of
Congress until it is Incorporated in

THE National Intellegencer published
in the capitol city, prints the following
with reference to Gar Reeds action in
the House of Representatives when
war measures were pending: Sunday
was a busy day with Speaker Reed.
He rounded up the faithful during the
day and issued his decree for action on
Monday. 1t was money and politics
that animated all. 1t is said the Gear
read the following three stanzas from
John Winthrop's poem, with great et-
feet:
You ask: Why battle ships and rams9
Our monitors, what for?
Why, these are merely Uncle Sans
White poodle dogs of war
Spain merely shot eur dog one night,
We're sorry tide'A dead,
But gentlemen should hardly fight
Cause dogs are filed with lead
The cheapest way by fa-, lie this:
just keep our steady jog,
Declare to Spain there's naught amiss,
And-buy another dog.

The democratic State committee met
last week at the same time the populist
State committee met and formulated a
paper in which they set forth belief
that it would be impossible to poll the
entire democratic vote for the State
ticket as it stands now and asked that
they be recognized on the ticket. No
demands were definitely made, but it
was intimsted that they wanted con-
gresham in the Fourth district, lieu
tenant governor and either secretary of
State, treasurer or superintendent.
The pOpulist State committee issued
an address referring the matter to the
people to determine in their cOnven'
ton 1t is a matter for careful consld'
Grafton, but we desire to express our
opinion that for shelving any OF the
men above mentioned, the ticket would
loose ten populiSt votes for every dem
Ocratic vote gained by the change. 1t
is still our belief that the rank and file
of democratic voters are not asking
any such swap and we are sure those
in this part of the country are not.

WE are glad to notice that the dan
gerous feature of the new army bill has
been eliminated. At such a time as
this it is expected that the favorites of
power will insidiOusly get in their work
and it was greatly feared that somehow
they would get the army bill through
In such shape that it would have the
effect of increasing the standing army
in time of peace. However enemies of
such program were on the alert and
before it passed the house a provision
was made that it should no. increase
the peace footing of the regular army
over what it is at present with the ex-
ception of twenty-five majors.

A GREAT deal Of respons bility rests
on the United States Senate in this
crisis, A course of weakness, submit
ting to the House and president in
revenue bills, will so discourage the
believers in better currency system,
opposition to bonds and an income tax
that the forces can never be gotten to-
gether again, lat any rate with any cour-
age or hope. Tom Reed has framed a
bill providing for popular loan" Of
three per cent bonds in denominations
of $4,000 and upwards. These demon
nations would all be gathered up by
bankers and mighty few would reach
the people. The Senate should insist
on an issue Of full legal tender non'in.
terest bearing bonds, accompanied per-
haps by an equal amount Of three per
cent bonds issued in denominations of
IS 90 and upwards and put on sale In
every post Office. Along with this the
Senate should insist on an income tax.
Acceptance Of anything short Of this
by the Senate will bring more discOur-
sgement and disorganiz ltiOn TO the al
he'd forces than anything that could
happen.

LET US thank a good providence that
Spain has announced her intention to
resort to privateering. Privateering Is
but one degree better than piracy. All
the nations of first rack except the
United States signed an agreement In
1855 by which privateering was declared
to be abolished. The United States re-
fused to be party to the agreement
only because the agreement did not ex'
empt private property from seizure by
public warshlps as we'll as privateers.
The only other nations remaining out
of the agreement are, Spain, Uruguay
and Mexico. PTivateeriDg appeals to
the individual cupidity and predatory
instincts of those engaged by giving to
them share of all the plumber cap
tured and naturally generates reckless
ness 1t interferes with commerce Of
other nations and will quite certainly
bring Spain grief if she persists in it.

THERE is no uncertainty as to the re-
suit of this war. Spaniards are fight
ing for "honor" not victory. That, they
do not expect. When it is over, the
last lump of land of any size or impor-
lance in the new world except Canada,
will have become absolutely free and
independent of tile dominion of the old.
The British possessions are practically
so and are probably as we'll governed
