$780, of Idaho r. r. bonds
have been disposed of in Erie, Pa,
and perhaps s25, 900 in Buffalo and
Rochester, N. Y What sorrowful
awakening is in store for some of the
folks in those towns. Well, We do
not know as they are to be sympa-
thized with. There are always some
people with money burning h ole in
their pocket, who, if a legitimate and
businesslike enterprise were presented
to them would draw back with sus-
picion; but if some wild cat scheme
with fraud stamped all over it is pre-
sented, they appear not to recognize
the article and almost fall over them
selves to get sucked in.

An Unappreciated Joke.

There was little group discussing
the glorious news of SIMPSONS vic
tory in an uptown saloon the other
day, when man walked in slowly
and stood within earshot of the pa
triotic expressions. Finally he said
in a rather mournful tone of voice:
"Well, boys, you may talk as you
please, but l would give my right
arm to see the Spanish flag floating
over New Orleans"
There was a mad rush for the new
conner and for some seconds the air
was full of swinging arms. AS the
stranger ruefully regained his feet and
pulled his battered remains together
he attempted smile that faded into
a CHASTITY grin, and he whined out,
"You fellows are too quick. That's
just my little joke, l am blind. -

cial collection to defray the expenses
of the meeting. Wen pass roun' de

OF de hymn on page No. 2o5-'On

he proceeded to cline on" the hymn,
but so intent was he on the collection
that he forgot whole lines of it, and
supplied others, with the following
result:

Still on to Cadiz.

The surrender at Santiago does not
lessen but rather strengthens the ne
cessity of despatching a powerful
squadron to the coast of Spain.
Even il Spain showed greater dis
position than her Government has
yet manifested to cease the hopeless
struggle, still strong fleet at her
gates would make for peace and pre-
vent the usual Spanish haggling over
terms In the face of such display
OF our power and our determination a
common danger to the Spanish people
would doubtless aid in holding them
together, thus preventing the anarchy
and the clash of rival factions that
would render a binding treaty i'm
possible.
Incidentally the effect upon the
rest of Europe of such naval demon
stration would confirm the impress
sion already made by the extraordi-
nary victories of Dewey and Schley,
and tend to put an end to the talk of
Europe's right to be considered" in
the settlement of our account with
Spain, in the Philippines or else
where.
Naval strategy and common-sense
diplomacy unite in urging swift de-
parture of Commodore Watson S
squadron.

FROM SPANS STANDPOINT.
The DOns Have a Peculiar Way OF
Seeing Things.

Admiral Chimera Camara, accord
ing to current adyices, is on his way
to do up Dewey. There is no harm
in that. Anterior advices were TO the
effect that at Puerto Rico, and at var
Gus other puertos equally rico, our
ships were hulled and our dead piled
in heaps. There is no harm in that
either. Coincideutly "El Coreo, a
Spanish sheet, stated that Mr.. Nc
Kinley had committed suicide, I'M
nerved at the spectacle of Washing
ton sacked by his troops. Even the
Key West censor would not suppress
that. 1t is not SO many years ago
that the Paris Figaro acquainted its
readers with the fact that the Presi-
dent of the United States was required
to have the Constitution tattooed on
his back. The statement may not
have been quite accurate, but it is
things of this kind that help to make
life sweet Spanish bulletins, like
French entrehlets, may therefore be
received with gratitude. They in
crease the store of anecdote and jest.
The more contemplative and serious
minded of our editorial writers have
indeed objected to them on the ground
that they delay the prospect OF peace.
All things considered, the objection
does not seem we'll founded. Japan
thrashed China out of her boots, and
today the number of Chinese who be-
lieve that Japan was promptly sent
about her business is exceeded only
by those who never heard that there
was war. Spain is the China of the
Occident. Ignorance is at home there
and misinformatiou measurable by
the mile. Yet behind it all, little by
little there has recently doomed the
suspicion of grand mistake. 1t is
felt that Christopher Columbus might
have better employed his time, might,
better STILL have remained at home.
His statue is not to be decorated this
year. That his statue won't care
may be taken tor granted, yet if his
tolerably antique ghost can have pre-
served any sense of humor, with what
splendid sepulchritude it must laugh.

Why I Do Not Waut IN yotc.

III 1t meant only going to the polls
and dcpositing your ballot, that would
take very little time and a person
could easily arrange the household
affairs so it would mot inconvenience
them, but the most important part
are the two months preceding election
day, and to vote intelligently n person
ought to attend all the meetings,
primaries and conventions, and hear
the pro and con of every subject, and
the best papers and magazines ought
to he read, and that would take both
time and money and the average wo-
man las very little of either to spare.
l think it would be very announcement
Tor most women to go out every even
ing to hear this or that speaker, and
unless they did go, they would not
understand the situation enough to
vote intelligently, and what would we
do with the children while attending
those meetings? Elections generally
occur in the fall and the weather is
more or less stormy and children need
their sleep. There are only few
favored women who can afford to keep
help. So far rs women purifying
politics, Il doubt.it; | can't see any
thing pure about them.
There Is certain amount of plot
ting and scheming; yes, buying and
selling votes, and hirelings and heel
els to be paid. We might just as we'll
look this matter squarely in the face,
Money Is the handspring in politics.
/ know for n fact, when we did vote, a
years back, that women were hired at
ten dollars per day to go out among
the women and work for interested
parties, and they did not care snap
about the character of the candidate
so. they got their pay. What has
boen done will be done again. | think
it will only make the task more diff
cult to let the women vote; not that
l do not think she has the right and
can vote wisely and more intelligently
than two-thirds of the men, but wo-
mems hands are SO full now, and there
Is 50 much that only women can do,
that would have to be more or less
neglected, and unless we draw the
line somewhere and say thus far and
no farther, | know there are women
who will rush pell nell into poll
tics and scramble and fight for office
worse than the men, regardless of
tile fitness of things or that such con-
duct would reflect on tho whole of wo-
mankind; and | say no, decidedly no,
and generally speaking women are
very partisan and emotional, and har-
Dor their likes and dislikes more than
men. l can only speak for myself and
will candidly say that if anyone
slurred and talked about me, as the
Uympidn has about some people there
would be war and I'd make things
hum for awhile. a WOMAN.
