He who fears discussion fears
the truth. Trades unions
should be more than mere
machines created to transact
certain routine business, and
to benefit only a few. They
should be forums for debate
on the labor question, educa-
tional in their nature, and con-
Quoted in such manner as will
best serve the interests of all
labor. Trades unions have an
historical mission to fulfil,
and to ignore that mission
means a delay in the emanci-
patton of the working classes.

THE FIRST
ENGAGEMENT.
T he Choked : Bore
Bellows Does Ex-
ceptionally Good
Work.

THE fort below the bridge was
the scene of much excitement yes
terdy evening when Scout Burch
came tumbling over the breast
works. After catching his breath
and picking up the pedro cards-a
game in which f. L. Wilber had
beaten Andy Harris by four points
had just closed-which he had scat
tered hither and yon, he announced
that three torpedo boats flying the
Spanish flag were approaching. In
stantly all was excitement. A large
party of ladies' and gentlemen had
just arrived in Joe Butchers six
horse omnibus, which he has put on
the route between town and the fort,
and all rushed pell nell for the ve-
hicle. In his haste to reach the
conveyance Gus. Thompson ran a.
gainst Uncle Charley Johnson and
Uncle Billy May. Uncle Charley
fell against w. H. Brumley, who
was holding large bottle of arnica
he had brought for the bellows ma
nipulators. 1t fell against a bicycle
breaking four spokes and the bottle.
Uncle Billy fell against Senator
Harris, who in turn stepped on one
of E. L. Shorts big dogs, The
yells of the dog added terror to the
already excited crowd, as they
thought it was the Spanish war
whoop.
Having won the honor of firing
the first blast, E. l.. Wilber pro-
ceeded to pump the choked- bore
bellows to its fullest capacity. But
just as the enemy came in sight the
great wind-dispenser sprung leak,
knocking Will Exon, Martin Rush,
Squire Wallace, Andy Pinckley, Sill
and Fred Kramer, o. d. and H. v.
Pyle, H d Brindle and THE SILVER
STAR reporter against the breast
works, and all were brought home
in the ambulance drawn by Henry
Bergen's big team. The leak was
soon repaired by Chas. ScnninRer
and just as the first boat got within
range II. L. WILDER turned the thing
loose. His aim proved poor and on
ly a smoke stake disappeared from
the approaching boat.
After winning the second game of
pedro Andy Harris turned on the
second blast, blowing the boat out
Of existence. This so discouraged
the crews of the other boats that
they turned back.
w. H. Blake, who lives just back
Of the fort, was out in his yard and
in his haste to catch Spanish can
non ball he saw making for the head

or three months. The fighting
branches Of the government will at
tend to the war without enroaching
upon the business of the other
branches.
In announcing by proclamation
the principles upon which he will
wage the war, which Congress has
authorized, Mckinley has certainly
carried mild treatment of Spanish
interests to an unnecessary extreme
AN extreme that will wipe out the
expectations of pkize-money enter
tanned by the brave sailors that man
Admiral SIMPSONS blockading
squadron, by releasing nearly, if
not all of the Spanish vessels they
have captured since the blockade
was established. This proclama-
tion gives all Spanish merchant
vessels in American ports or bound
to Or from American ports immunity
from capture until May 81, inclu-
sive. 1t would be possible to make
some nations surrender by treating
them and their interests with con-
sideration, but Spain is certainly
not one of them. What Mckinley
doubtless intended to be an act of
extraordinary generousity and for
bearance will be charged to his fear
of them by ignorant Spanish. There
is only one way to deal with Span
iard-fight him and lick him; then
he will be ready to entertain the
idea of foe displaying magnanim-
ity towards him.
AT
Republicans in their absurd at
tempt to monopolize all the patriot
ism are charging that because some
democrats oppose the issue $500 :
600 900 in bonds provided for in the
war revenue bill the House has
passed, they are opposed to giving
the administration all the money it
will need to conduct the war. Moth
ing could be further from the truth.
There is not a democrat in either
branch of Congress who is not in
favor Of voting all the money that
may be needed to vigorously fight
the war to a successful conclusion.
That many of them agree with the
populists and silver republicans in
believing an issue of bonds to be un-
necessary, and that it would he bet
ter to raise the money by an income
tax and other ways Of direct taxa
tion, is true. The bond issue is
likely to be fully discussed in the
Senate, and. although it will prob
ably not be made party question
by the democratic Senators, it will
not be surprising if most Of them
vote against bonds, unless the nature
of the war news changes their opin-
ions.
