WHERE 1T STANDS UNCHANGED.

The Duluth Herald feels very badly
over what it calls a change of Repub-
licanism of the past few years. In
other words the Herald had rather
stick to mistaken policy though it
brought ruin, than to wisely change
it's mind. The so-called change Of Re-
publicanism which disturbs the
Heralds peace of mind. is what it is
pleased to call change from bimetal-
lism to recommendation. The Herald
Is what it pleases to call bimetallist.
1t believes in the free and unlimited
coinage of silver, holding that the
flooding of the country with the de-
preciated metal would be good
thing. and protesting to believe that
a 1OO-cent gold dollar would continue
to circulate right along beside an I'M
limited quantity of 40 or 50-cent silver
dollars. And because the Republicans
repudiate such fallacious doctrine and
demand the continuance Of a system,
which has given US the only real BIZ
metallism the country ever enjoyed
the concurrent circulation of the two
metals-it is claimed the Republicans
have changed their doctrine. The
Republican party has always stood
for sound money. 1t has always op-
posed any scheme or schemes that
would in any way lead to the depre.
citation of the couDtry's currency in
the least. 1t has not been opposed to
silver in the past, nor is it unfrieudly
to it today. But it recognizes the
fact that it's value has deprecated,
and that to use it in the unlimited
manner in which the Popocrats ad-
vocate would prove most detrimental
to the best interests of the country.
The trouble with the Herald is that
in it's ardor for the so-called silver
cause it fails to recognize that condi-
lions have changed and that the trial
of an experiment., which century
ago was not success, was not frought
with the dangers at that time which
would now attend it, because the
values of the two metals were then
about equal, while now they are wide
apart. In it's desire for sound money

SAN FRANCISCO, July 18.-After be-

WILL BE PEACE.

There are rumors to the effect that
Spain is willing to make peace upon
somewhat broader terms than has
been heretofore 'intimated. The
president is said to have received an
unofficial statement to the effect that
Spain is now willing to recognize the
independence of Cuba; to cede the
United States Porto Rico for the
Philippines, and to grant this coun-
try coaling station in the Philip
pines. But no overtures from an Of
fetal source have been received, nor is
there anything to indicate that there
will be, further than the fact that the
publication of the royal decree in
Spain suspending the constitutional
rights of individuals, is taken by some
to mean that the government there
is preparing the way for peace, AS to
the terms above stated, it is not
known what the president would do re-
garding them, were they to be present.
ed to him officially, though it is said
he would be inclined to accept
them. The Washington correspondent
of the Minneapolis Journal, on the
other hand says that President Nc
Klnley is closely studying the matter
as to what shall be done with the
Philippines, and has called in for con-
sultation the leaders of both parties
and that definite purpose in this re-
spect will be marked out before peace
propositions of any nature from Spain
are entertained. But there seems to
be general feeling that peace is
near at hand and that hostilities will
be soon suspended. 1t is to be hoped
that this will prove true.

A NEW ERA,

day regarding the fall of Santiago
and it's effect, and also upon the
future of the country and what the
effect upon the country of a so-called

tor @. K. Davis said:
"This clears the way for the pro-

trust will begin at once. 1t is per-
haps more important in its conse.

THE FALL OF SANTIAGO.

The news which came Friday. of
the fall of Santiago was pleasant news
to the American people, for it put an
end to the possibility Of future terri
BILE slaughter of our men there, and
also of the enemy. While some do
not look with favor upon the basis on
which the surrender was arranged,
yet it would seem that it is far bet
ter that such an arrangement be en-.
tered into, than to continue the
slaughter, as would have been the
case, and also to run the risk OF a
spread of yellow fever among our boys,
That dread disease is likely to give
our people there trouble enough at
best, but with continued fighting the
chances could hardly help being worse.
Then the transporting Of the Spanish
prisoners back to Spain will not be a
bad thing for this country. 1t will
relieve our authorities Of the further
care of them, and the expense of feed
ing them, 1t will place them where
they will not have to fight them
again, even should they break their
parole, for Spain will be unable to
land them again either in Cuba, Porto
Rico or the Philippines. Gen. Shafter
made wise move, and the Washing
ton authorities seem to have done
wisely in approving his course.
1t would seem that the uselessness
of continuing the struggle must now
dawn upon the Spanish leaders and
cause them to give up withoutfurther
fighting, Notwithstanding Blanco
wants the contest continued. Yet it
seems somewhat doubtful that they
will yield without further whipping.
They state they are willing to make
peace and acknowledge the independ-
ence of Cuba, but have not yet gotten
to that point where they will &c
farther, unless the fall Of Santiago
shall fully convince them of the ut
ter folly of longer holding out. The
terms that Spain has intimated as
possible peace terms will not be salts
factory TO the United States, and will
not be accepted. If Spain now has
nothing better to offer, Watson's fleet
will doubtless at once proceed to the
coast of Spain and the advance upon
Porto Rico will be made.

1t is stated that the war loan has
been subscribed six times. The great
share, if not all'of it is likely to be
taken by the small subscriptions. And
still the Populists have been assum.
ing that this country was short of
money. This in connection with the
loan, and the fact that the interest
on money is falling so that loans are
common at six per cent, and can be
obtained by individuals at five per
cent on good security.

Plan of Campaign Discussed
at a White House Coun-
Gil of War.
ATTACK BY LAND AND SEA
Prior to Landing of Troops a
Naval Demonstration Is
Proposed.
Portion of Skaters Command
Will Participate in the,
Invasion.

WASHINGTON, July 18.-During the
day the president had a conference
with Secretaries Alger and Long and
Captain Crowinshield, chief of the bu-
reau of navigation and mem Der of the
naval war board. 1t was stated after
the meeting that plans had been dis.
cussed for an aggressive movement, in
which both the army and navy will
take part, against Porto Rico. Before
going to the White House Secretary
Alger had been in conference with
General Brooke for two hours. They
had before them a la rye number of
maps of Porto Rico, and the plans of
campaign were discuss ed from every
point of view. 1t is said that General
Miles will go direct from Santiago to
Porto Rico, and that General Stone
and Colonel Michler of his staff will
leave New York in a day or two on the
ResoIute to join the general at San
tiago. Secretary Long would not dis.
cuss the naval program me except to
say that active preparations are on foot
Tor the next forward movement.
May Land This Week.
It may be two or three days before
the details Of the Porto Rican invasion
are worked out, but it is probable that
before the end of the present week the
military forces of the expedition will
have effected landing not far from
San Juan. Prior to the landing a
naval demonstration will be made
against the San Juan Notifications.
The vessels taking part in the bonn
bardment will be part of the feet of
Admiral Sampson, but what vessels
have been ordered to Porto Rico could
not be ascertained. No definite de.
cision has been reached yet as to the
strength and personnel of the land
forces to be sent to Porto Rico. For
time is was supposed that few if any,
of the troops now under General Shat.
ter's command at Santiago wo uld be
sent to Porto Rico. but it is known
now that at least part of Skaters
command will be in the new expedi.
ton.

Present indications are, says the St.
Louis Globe Democrat, that the
wheat yield in the United States will
be from 675, 900, 900 to 700, 900, 900 bush
els in 1898. The largest previous crop,
612, 100000 bushels, was in 1892, and
the next in size to this one was in
1898, which was 515,OOO,OOO bushels.
The nearest to the crop of the last
named year was that OF 1885. which
was 513, 100000 bushels. In 1896 the
yield was 467, 100000, and in 1897 it
was 42s,0O 900 The crop of 1898,
even if the price should be lower than
last years, will bring in a great deal
of money to the American farmer.
