No Spanish policy of delay has been
adopted, nor has there been evinced
any desire to adopt it, either for the
purpose of allowing the disaster to be

for any other purpose. The policy, a
statesmanlike and patriotic one, has
been to ascertain the facts in the case,

Jimmy Little was every inch a
man. He was. of quiet and retiring
disposition, and anything in the way
of display or demonstration was en-
tirely foreign to his nature. During his
life he had been more or less of a trav-
eler, yet his tastes were of the domestic
order. Those who knew him Intimately
knew him to be a lover of good books,
and the extent of his information was
far greater than that of most men. He
was a conservative man, and his judg-
ment on all matters was excellent. He
was a good citizen in all the term i'm
plies. Those who knew him best loved
and admired him, for he was a love
able man, though perhaps this fact was
not generally known He will be great
ly missed in business and club circles.
His wife and little ones have lost a
kind and loving husband and father.
His memory to them will be sacred and
his life one upon which they can reflect
with just pride, for it was the life of
an honorable and upright man. This
would be better world than it is were
there more men like Jimmy Little.

SILVER MEN NOT RAMPANT
JINGOISTS."
The Ohio tate Journal says:


It is a fact worthy of attention at
this time that the free silver leaders
are the most rampant jingoists toward
Spain. They are for war and plenty of
it. They seem to think the United
States should at once begin the work of
wiping Spain off the map of the world,
and investigate her responsibility for
the destruction of the Maine and the
consequent loss of life afterward. Yet
they are no more patriotic than other
people. There is a purpose behind their
attitude of defiance. They believe hos
tilities between the United States and
Spain would make it difficult to main
tain the gold standard. With the eX
penditure of millions necessary to carry
on the great operations OF q war, silver
might appreciate. That is what the
mine owners want. The real cost of
mining silver, with the present facili
ties. is about five cents an ounce. With
all prices on a war footing, this would
mean untold fortunes to the owners
of these mines. There is nothing es-
Gaping the watchful eye of the silver
aristocracy.
The air of superior patriotism on the
part of these gentlemen is, therefore,
assumed. The pretense of love of
country on the part of the free silver
propogandists covers a purely merce-
nary purpose and is prompted chiefly
by the hope that war would make their
silver mine holdings more valuable.
Were it not for the righteousness of
this it would be nothing but the sor-
REST balderdash. The most rampant"
jingoists towards Spain have been
rampant" goldbugs. Has there been
any one so rampant for war with
Spain since the Maine disaster as Sen
ator "Billy'' Mason? And he is a
rampant" regardant, couchant gold
bug. Has there been any more ram
pant goldbug paper in the United
States than the New York World?
And since the Maine disaster it has
fairly outjingoed the jingoes.
1t may surprise the State Journal to
know that the silver leaders do not
think and have never thought there
was any connection between the silver
question and our relations with Spain.
The talk about 'the real cost of mining
silver with the present facilities. is
about five cents an ounce" is even
more absurd than the talk about the
silver leaders being so rampant" for
war with Spain.
We never knew before that those
who favor free silver assumed an air
of superior patriotism" We know some
thousands of them, and we have never
detected any assumed air of superior
patriotism" about any of them. That
air is reserved for the single gold stan
dard men. The silver men claim TO be
quite as patriotic as other citizens. but
no more so. They believe that free

ARRIVAL OF THE REINDEER.

DR.. Sheldon Jackson and his herd of
reindeer, with their attendants, have
arrived in New York. DR.. Jackson
brings with him 11S immigrants, 537
reindeer, 40 reindeer sleds, oil sets of
harness for the deer, and between 1900
and 4,G00 bags OF moss for feeding the
reindeer en- route. During the voyage
from Bozekop, Arctic Lapland, to New
York distance of 1000 miles, only one
reindeer died. This is remarkable and
shows that great care has been taken
of the animals. The expedition is now
TO be sent to Seattle, where it will be
trans-shipped to a vessel and then for
warded to Alaska. It is to be hoped
that the journey overland and the Pa
cific voyage viii be as prosperous as
the one from Laplsnd to New York.
When the expedition is landed in
Alaska then it will begin the fulfilment
of its object-the relief of the miners
on the Yukon. If the scarcity of food
among them was really as great as it
was represented to be when Dr. Jack
son started for Europe, then the ex-
petition will arrive too late to afford
relief; nor is it at all certain the con-
dition of the ice and snow will be such
as to permit the reindeer to make the
journey to Dawson City and vicinity.
Whether relief can be provided by this
means is still problematic; the attempt
alone can determine the question.
If the government is going into the
relief business permanently, it would
be much better to establish relief sta
tons all over Alaska and in the Klon-
dixie country if the permission of the
Canadian government can be obtained
This would make relief easier and
scarcely more expensive.
1t is very probable that when the
truth about the danger of starvation
on the Klondike is known it will be
found to have been greatly exaggerat-
ed; that in fact, while there was no
superabundance of provisions, there
was an ample supply. and that the cry
for relief was set up by those who had
plenty, but were apprehensive that they
might have to divide with those who
were not so well supplied
How did the 113 immigrants, who as
suredly came as contract laborers, get
through the custom house?

AGAIN THE MAYOR AND THE
COUNCIL.

The Tribune says the city council
has acted abominably' towards the
mayor 1t has done no such thing. II
says that "a plotting junta" of the
council assumes to say who shall and
who shall not have the offices, in en-
tire disregard of the mayors prefer
ences. The council has no plotting
junta." If there be any such junta,
and there is strong evidence that there
is, it is composed of members of the
non-partisan committee that placed the
mayor in nomination, who appears to
be run" by it.
The Tribune says that if cordial and
harmonious official relations between
the mayor and the council are to be
established by the mayor surrender
ing to the council, or perhaps by pref
erence to the Democratic boss, the ap-
pointive power" it will most assuredly
never be done. It is not at all neces-
sary to the establishment of cordial
and harmonious official relations be-
tween the mayor and council that the
mayor surrender the appointive power.
"a QGGEil ItEdI LII ltRS NAohCo "a eh~
council in the matter of one or two ap-
pointments is all that is necessary. The
council has not assumed to say whom
the mayor shall appoint to any posi-
ton; in one case it has rejected nom
ination after respectfully referring it
back to the mayor for reconsideration.
So far as the appointive power is
concerned, the council has not asked
that it be surrendered to it, nor does
it wish it, and it would be just as well
if it was retained in the mayors hands
and not quite SO much Difference paid
by his honor to requests made by
members of the non-partisan, non-of-
fice-seeking committee that put him
up. One of the mayors troubles ap-
pears TO be that he has not kept quite
so tight a grip upon the appointive
power as he is supposed to.

The Washington Post has some very
sensible comments on the question of
school savings banks. Thus it says:
Doubtless there are children who need
to be taught to save money, and 1t is
equally certain that there are other
children whose character would be i'm
proved if some of their innate stinginess
and greed could be eliminated from
their mental and moral outfits. But a
great majority of the pupils in attend
ance upon the free schools of the Unit
ed States, especially in the primary and
intermediate grades. beyond which the
mass of them do not go, are taught
pincning economy in the hard school
of home experience. To feed and shelter
them and send them to school comfort
ably and decently clad requires an
economy or the part of their parents
which keeps continually before their
young minds the most impressive OBJ
ject lesson in the art of making a little
money go a 'ong way. Their is greed
enough without adopting any plan for
stimulating its growth. 1t is proper to
teach children that it is wicked to
waste, and if any of them have not
been thus taught at home, their teach
ers may properly give them such in
struction in familiar talks and reading
lessons. But the saving of money,
though important. is not the chief OBJ
ject of well-ordered life, not the chief
aim of a we'll balanced mind. Upon
the whole. we are inclined to believe
that the school savings bank idea
promises less good than evil. The Amer
lean people have sufficient aptitude
for chasing the almighty dollar with
out special cultivation OF that faculty
in the schools. And it seems to US
that the school curriculum is compre-
hensive enough without adding a saw
ings bank department. Education may
be spread over so broad an area that
it Will be very thin veneering."
