EXTRA POSTAGE.

Miss Moore, the postmistress, in.
forms The ENQUIRER that since July
l she has noticed that many people
are putting an extra 1-cent stamp
on their letters, presumably for war
revenue, and desires THE ENQUIRER
to inform these people that the ex.
ira postage is not required.
The ENQUIRER would be glad to
give the people interested the infor'
nation but frankly confesses its ina
bility to do so. The paper does not
reach these people. This fact is evi,
denced by their ignorance. Had they
been reading THE ENQUIRER they
would not have fallen into any such
mistake.
The word ignorance is used advis'
edly. 1t cannot be patriotism, for the
postoffice department is not at war,
and its revenues do not 20 to the
war fund. If it is patriotism that
is moving these liberal-minded people,
they should invest their extra cents
in internal revenue stamps, and then,
with every letter, they will help buy
q cartridge.

THE ADVERTISING MATTER.

At last we are beginning to be con-
vinced that in all their long monkey
ing with the public advertising matter
in this county, the county board has
been actuated purely by misinforma-
ton and general ignorance of the sub
iect under consideration. We have
had reason to think this from the very
start; but we have not felt certain OF
it until of late. Now we do not think
there is any doubt.
Of course we have realized from the
first that if all the strange tales that
have been stuffed into the ears of first
the old board and then the new board,
had been true, the officials would have
been justified in acting with the great
est care. We always stood ready to
show up the truth in the matter when
ever called upon; but for some remark
able and unexplainable reason, it never
occurred to anybody to inquire. AT

LET US GIVE THANKS.

The president, on last Wednesday
night, at 11.40 o'clock, gave out the
following proclamation to the people
of the United States of America
At this time, when to the yet fresh
remembrance of the unprecedented
success which attended the operations
of the United States feet in the bay
of Manila, on the first day of May last,
are added the tidings of the no less
glorious achievements of the naval
and military arms of our beloved coun-
try at Santiago de Cuba, it is fitting
that we should pause, staying the feel
ing of exultation that too naturally
attends great deeds wrought by our
country'nen in our country's cause,
and should reverently bow before the
Throne of Divine Grace and give de-
vout praise to God, who holdeth the
nations in the hollow of His hand and
worketh upon them the marvels of His
high will, and who has thus far vouch-
safed to us the light of His face and
led our brave soldiers and seamen to
victory.
1 therefore ask the people of the
United States, upon next assembling
for divine worship in their respective
places of meeting 10 offer thanksgiving
to Almighty God, who, in His inscru,
table ways, now leading our hosts upon
the waters to unscathed triumph, now
guiding them in strange land through
the dread shadows of death to success,
even though at fearful cost, now
bearing them without accident or loss
to far distant climes, has watched over
our cause and brought nearer the sue.
cess of the right and the attainment OF
Just and honorable peace.
With the nations thanks, let there
be mingled the nations prayers that
our gallant sons may be shielded from
harm alike on the battlefield and in
the clash of fleets and be spared the
scourge of suffering and disease while
they are striving to uphold their coun-
try's honor; and withal let the nations
heart be stilled with holy awe at the
thought of the noble men who have
perished as heroes die, and be filled
with compassionate sympathy for all

THE HERO OF SANTIAGO.

Brave and noble is Sampson. 80 is
the lion like Schley and all the men ol
the American fleet; but the real hero
of that terrible battle, which resulted
in the destruction of Cervera's ships
off Santiago last Sunday morning, is
Captain John w. Phillip, of the Texas.
It is not a question of theory but OF
fact. Here is the story, as compiled
from the most complete account OF the
remarkable event that we have seen.
The Texas was among the first to
sight the approaching enemy and was
in the action within few minutes al
ter the Brooklyn. She caught the
third ship in the fleeing line OF Span
iards in good fighting range, and there
followed a terrible duel, the like OF
which is seldom seen. The Spaniard
was the vizcaya, and she fought with
desperate fury, using every gun that
could be brought to bear.
The Oregon and Iowa came up;
but they deemed it better to pass the
Texas and hurry to the assistance oi
the Brooklyn in preventing the escape
of the leading Spaniard. This left the
Texas steaming abreast one enemy
broadside to broadside, and with the
fourth Spanish ship-the Maria Ie'
resa-following and assisting the Viz
caya.
Captain Phillip directed every move
of his ship. The noise and din were
terrific. Orders had to be yelled close
into the ears of messengers. Big
shells were screaming overhead and
all around. AS is known, the l2-lnch
guns of battleship are ponderously

Sable islands, off Halifax, on July 4:
The French steamer had on board
over 500 passengers and crew. The
story of the affair is terrible. The
collision occurred about dawn in a
thick fog. A great hole was knocked
in the side of the La Bourgogne, and
she sank within half an hour. After
the shock, the passengers rushed on
deck in .droves. There was no disci-
pline. Officers and crew lost their
heads and fought with passengers for
places in the boats. Women were
stabbed to death and men killed with
bars of iron. Only one officer tried to
do his duty. He launched boat after
boat, and then went down resignedly
to his death. OF all the crew only l63
escaped, and these included but one
woman. Most of the passengers were
Americans, going abroad.

- Theodore Roosevelt is a good one
In that desperate charge on San Juan
heights, he did not tell his men to go
but to "come." He led them on horse
back, full hundred feet in advance
and when his horse was shot from un,
der him, he landed right side up, and
went on on foot. Roosevelt is Re-
publican millionaire. He went down
to Cuba for honor and glory. Up tc
date he is entitled to both. Nothing
is cheaper for the people to give; moth
ing is more difficult to honestly WIN
It is the sacred duty of every citizen
to freely bestow them only where they
are deserved.

The batteries at the entrance

- The batteries at the entrance OF
Santiago channel have time and again
been reported silenced; but, all the
same, it appears that they are still
quite formidable. The truth about the
matter seems to be that while the
eunners are driven away by the fierce
fire of the ships, they always return
after the firing ceases, and as far as
possible repair such damage as has
been inflicted.

The PlatfOrn:

We heartily indorse the platform adopt
ed by the Silver Party of Nevada, in con-
vention assembled, at Reno, on the 8th
day of September, 1898. and renew our
promise of active support Of the financial
plank adopted by the National Democratic
Party at Chicago, July 7th, 1898.
We believe that the Silv Party Of Ne
vada has, by assisting to arouse and mould
public opinion in the United States, ac-
complished more real good for the Silver
cause than have the efforts Of any other
political organization.
We believe that the necessity for it's con-
tinuance as a party was never more po-
te 1T than at the present time, and to aban
don our organization at the suggestion of
any number of self-professed friends of
silver would be to nullify the advantage
and progress made on behalf of the white
metal during the past six years.
We realize that the fight made for the
free and unlimited coinage of silver at the
ratio of 16 to is still unsettled, and we
promise our answering devotion and our
support to the tenets of the Silver Party
until the results for which the party was
organized are attained; we shall then be-
lieve and say that the Silver Party as
separate political factor should cease to
exist.
We pledge the nominees of this Conven-
ten for the Legislature to support for
United States Senotor, one whose record
on the Silver issue is unquestioned and
who is in full accord with our State aud
County platforms.
We pledge the nominees Of this Conven-
ton for county Offices to an honest eco
nomical and impartial administration of
the business of the County.
We ask the friends of silver of whatever
political faith they may be to join with us
in this campaign to the end chat there may
be no mistake as to what their wishes and
demands on the silver issue are.

less by two highwaymen mounted on BIZ
cycles In Central Park. Repeated accounts
of robheries by men mounted on wheels
have appeared in papers in various parts
of the country. Those depredators Of the
health, diseases of the kidneys and blad-

their atrocious career unchecked unless
they are arrested by the potent interyen-

finest diurectic, as well as tonic, known to
modern times. 1t is at the start that dis
ease is the more easily overcome. The use
of the Bitters is followed by the happiest
results in dyspepsia, liver complaint and
