THE IMPROVEMENT CT UR

One of the benefits O: having an
Improvement Club in Carson was
illustrated on Wednesday last when
1t was necessary to do so1ne quick
hustllng to get up a celebration.
They had a committee all ready
appointed, and the instant the m itter
was referred to them they were in a
position to act.
The result was immediate and in
telllgent management, and they did
IN a few hours what under ordinary
circumstances would have required a
full week Of backing and filing and
what is vulgarly known as che wing
the rag
The excellent work Of the Club on
the occasion referred to has given the
town confidence in the committee and
also given the committee confidence
in themselves.

PRIZE MONEY.

AC~c ding to the reports from Ma
Mia the Spanish fleet destroyed by
the Americans consisted of ten o
eleven cruisers, gunboats and torpedo
boats, with crews amounting in all
to 1872 mer. At 500 for each man
OF the Sampson naval force, the am
cunt to be divided among the .Anleri-
can sailors will be SIS7.zoo. The
vessels of the Americans, were if
anything. undermanned. The num-
Der will be under rather than over
1888 men.
The SIS7.2oo Will be distributed to
the fleet under S ton 463I of the
Revised Statutes .-lating to prize
money. Admiral Dewey will get
one-twentieth OF the whole amount Of
bounty awarded to his command.
That will give him $4,000. If he
has a fleet captain or what passes
for one, the latter will have a share
of something like $500. There will
be left to be distributed to the yes
sells of the fleet, according to the pay
rolls, about $4,000.
This will 60 to seven ships, and
in about the following shares: Olv1n-
phia $4,000, Baltimore $40 900,
Boston $4,000, Raleigh S22, 900.
Concord $40, 900, Petrol SI2, 900, Nc
Culloch $4,000. To the commander
of each single vessel there will 90
one-tenth of the amount assigned to
that vessel.
After the amounts mentioned have
been deducted, the residue will be
distributed to the lesser officers and
seamen of the ships in proportion to
their pay on the day Of the engage
ment. The moun to each canaan
it is believed, will be in the neigh
borhood of $50,
1t is an old saying in the navy
that the p1ize money is sitted through
a ladder. What stays on the rungs
goes to the men, what goes through
is the officers share.

STEP

History records that in the old
Roman days a young Roman soldier
complained to his mother that his
sword was too short.
Then step nearer to the enemy"
was the reply.
Nevada is now sending out her
sons to fight with Spanish soldiers,
and being the smallest State in the
Union IN point OF population, she is
compelled to go into battle with the
shortest muster roll.
Like the Roman mother, however,
Nevada bids her sons /" make up for
the brevity Of her numbers by step

OHIO POLITICS

A strange thing in politics has hap
pened in Ohio, McKinley's own state.
A republican state convention last
week met and adopted a platform,
and in it made no reference to or gave
no hint that there was even so much
as a financial question at issue in our
country. 1t was ignored and no slo-
gan of victory echoed through the hall
Of session looking to a gold standard
and campaign, and no reference was
made to the fact that Mckinley was
elected president simply and solely
because he opposed silver and receiv-
ed the support of the gold democrats.
That most extreme gold oEgan, The
New York Evening Post, seeing this
dodge of the currency by the McKin-
ley crowd in Ohio, says with peril
nency, there is not the slightest ref
erence to the plank in the platform of
1896 upon which the real fight was
waged," and it adds, hat mckinley
was elected president upon the fnar-
cial issue" The convention, however,
failed not to howl for "protection''
under a high robber tariff tax. The
Evening Post sums up:
"These are the three significant fea-
tues of republicdnism in 1898, as it is
defined in the platform adopted by the
party in the presidents own state
through a convention absolutely con-
trolled by his friends-ignoring the
financial issue, yielding to the spoils-
men on the civil service reform issue,
and s~urrendering to the annexation
craze in the case of Hawaii.
ct is small wonder hat the repub1i-
can politicians were red hot for war
with Spain. They knew perfectly well
that nothing else could do SO much to
help the spoilsmen, the bosses, the
opponents Of a sound financial system
at home, the advocates of a grasping
national policy abroad.
With Hanna at the front as senator
and Mckinley Endorsed the country
can easily size up the republican par
ty in Ohio, and see how little there is
in it for the grandeur and glory of the
United States.

On the Gath the state department

no doubt as to Germany's policy. It is
to the effect that Germany has no in
tention, present of prospective, of in
terfering in any way with the policy
or plans of the United States in re-
gard to the occupation of the islands.
It's attitude has been, and will con-
tinue to be, one of strict neutrality.
The congress has appropriated a

Bad management keeps more peo-
pie In poor circumstances than any
other one cause. To be successful one
must look ahead and plan ahead so
that when a favorable opportunity
presents itself he is ready to take adj
vantage Of it. A little f~orethought
will also save much expense inc valu-
able time. A prudent and careful man
will keep a bottle Of Chamberlain's
Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea Rene
dy in the house, the shiftless fellow
will wait until necessity compels it
and then ruin his best horse going for
a doctor and have a big doctor bill to
pay, besides; one pays % cents, the
other is out a hundred dollars, and
then wonde why his neighbor is get
ting riche while he is getting poorer.
