are Populists but the Lieutenant Governor,
who is a free-silver Republican, and the
attorney general, Democrat. Mr.. Poynter
may be regarded as a dark horse though
his name had been mentioned before the
convention. The chief antagonism to his
nomination came from the Democrats, who
held out against him as a Populist of the
radical stripe for a time. but finding that
the Populists would not withdraw him, and
that he protested to be a lifelong Democrat
of Kentucky Democratic parentage they
finally acQuieSeed.
The Democrats sent the following tele-
gram to Colonel w. j. Bryan, Jacksonville,
Fla: 1.-The Democrats of Nebraska, in con-
vention assembled, instruct me to send
hearty greetings and pledge their united
efforts to make the gallant colonel of the
Third the future commander-in-chief." The
platform adopted by the Populists this
morning does not differ greatly on tie lead
ing planks from that of the Democrats.

Sylvester Baxter, in Review of Reviews.
Probably the greatest blessing that can
befall Spain will be the loss of all her
colonies. They have been the source of her
troubles, the cause of her national decline.
They have brought the curse of gold upon
her. They have diverted the energies and
the expenditures of her people from her
own needs at home. Spain has magnificent
internal resources as yet undeveloped. Let
the energies of her people once be directed
within. and they will understand what OBJ
stacles have blocked the way so long. Re-
forms will follow. Abuses will be swept
away. Popular enlightenment will come.
With the passing of SPANS colonial might
will dawn the renascenee Of Spain.
AS to commercial prosperity, that should
continue upon truer lines under the new
cond' lions. Spanish commercial interests in
Mexico are now on healthier basis than
they have been in Cuba for long years past,
for in the daughter state they are not PAM
pered by favoritism and privilege. Inde-
pendent intercourse with the severed colo
mics will continue, and lines of trade will
shape themselves naturally and legitimate-
ly. Ancient rancor will gradually disappear
and Spanish commercial energy may be de-
pended upon to secure room for its exer-
else. Spain, regenerate, will be the mother
country for the nations of ultramar that
speak her tongue, in the same regard that
England is mother to lands in the seven
seas, and will stand second only to England
in the number of her children.

NEW YORK. Aug. 3.--When the transport
Breakwater returned to this city from SAINT
iago the army officers of the department of
the East were surprised to find that thou
sands of pounds of food which had been
sent South had never been unloaded from
the vessel and was still in the hold. A
board of survey was appointed by COL
Gillespie. commander of the Department of
the East to determine for whom the stores
had been intended and why they were not
unloaded. This board has reported that the
stores were not unloaded because there was
immediate need of the vessel to transport
the sick and wounded. The board declares
that Ii is unable to fix the responsibility for
the failure to unload the supplies.

they conceived to be murder, and an angry
crowd stood without the door, held in peace
by officers, while the brave surgeon success
fully performed an operation that revolu-
t.onized the surgical world. From this be-
ginning abdominal operations have grown
so common that recently Kansas news

certain local surgeon had operated one hun

the American has also taken the Lead.

Sims who was UNDECIDED in his demand

opinion of the best surgeons of to-day that
such an operation might have saved the
Presidents life.
IN the department of surgical instru-
ments the peculiar inventive genius of the
American people has made itself most pow
erfully felt. American surgical instru-
ments are in use the world over, and the
most of the Announcements in that depart-
ment have been made by American sur
geons. There is used to-day in every Cuban
and American hospital a little instrument
known as the telephone probe, the inven-
ton of DR.. Girdner, which has worked won
derS in army surgery. 1t is used for the
location of rifle ball imbedded in the body
and every army surgeon looks upon 1t as
invaluable. DIR. Hamilton once declared in
a published article that had the telephone
probe been invented at the time of GAR
fields wounding that martyr need not have
died. 1t will be remembered that the sur
geons at his bedside were unable to deter
mine the location. of Guiteau's bullet, and
that an autopsy discovered it to be in quite
a different place from where they supposed
1t to be.
In short the Americans lead the world
in surgery, just as they do in many other
of the sciences where skill, daring and IN
domitable perseverance are essentials to
great success, and the low death rate among
our wounded soldiers is proof conclusive or
the correctness of this claim.

A great deal of qualification and not a

American soldiers. In a general way it was

greatly advanced since the days of our civil
war; but the application of improved meth

the fact that there has been almost a revo-
luton in surgical science. Now, with many
hundreds of wounded soldiers concentrated
in few hospitals we are able to observe
and gain better understanding of modern
surgery.
The first and foremost of the improve
mentS in the treatment of flesh wounds
is of course the use of aseptic surgery
which is another name for cleanliness and
of disease germs. This treatment was first
advocated by Sir Joseph Lister, the dis
tinguished Scotch surgeon, who is enti-
tied to the honor of the discovery. In
lS76-and what a short time ago 1T seems
in view of its worldwide use!-Lister Wis
tied America, explained his doctrine, dem
onstrated its application, and proved its
grand results. Immediately every surgeon
of consequence in America became an en-
! thusiastic convert and set to work TO mako
I the system part of the regular surgical
practice. In article in the Forum in
1884, DIR. George +. Shrady, the eminent
American surgeon, thus speaks of the part
our surgeons played in developing the new
treatment: America was first 10 prOpel

made tangible. The American surgeons
followed its precepts with an ardc- of
purpose which placed it foremost IN the
ranks of great discoveries. I;y Its means
operations became feasible that never he
fore had been dreamed of, and results were
obtained that were previously beyond the
reach of human endeavor."
The American surgeon always has been
foremost in the advancement of his science,
and the world Is indebted to him for a great
number of the most important discoveries:

perhaps the greatest of a long line of tri-

invented the plaster of paris splint and who
replaced all OF the cumbersome apparatus
of thirty years ago with simpler and more
effective ones. 1t was an American surgeon

the firing have many tales to tell. They
tell of a certain ball that swept the for

the bay. killing a number of sailors and
the second commander of the vessel, then
passing through the ships paintroom, scat

local tale of how Cervera advised Linares
to surrender the city to the Americans,
telling him his ease was hopeless and that
he would only continue to lose men and be
forced to give in at the end.
AS the Infanta Maria Teresa steamed
through the narrows to her fate, the gos-
sips say, her band played and her crew
cheered for the honor of old Spain. The
music sounded clear in MORO and hope
leaped in the hearts of the watching off,
GERS there as they heard the stirring strains.
Then there is a story that the Spaniards
carried their wounded from the batteries
into the city hospitals during the night in
order that the people and the army might
be kept in ignorance of their losses, and
another story that the broken and de-
stroyed guns were thrown into the harbor
under cover of darkness, with the same
misleading purpose. And there is yet an
other of the shot which killed six men at
gun during the fire of June and of the
night burial of gun and men behind the very
trenches where the gun was shattered.
The harbor people are coming back day
by day to their old vocations, and some
are as much surprised to find their homes
still uninjured as others to learn that the
batteries, which were considered impreg-
nable, have surrendered to an enemy whose
persistent effort did not result in any injury
that could not be repaired by few men
in a short time and at a small expense.

The Philippines.
New York Evening Post.


1t is not moral responsibility. but greed
of gain, that prompts the more influential
part of our Philippine annexationists. They
want the islands for what they can make
out of them in the way of trade. That is
an Ineligible reason, and is a proper one
In so far as it does not come in conflict with
the principles which we proclaimed to the
world as our justification for the war. This
was not TO be war of conquest or war of
gain. 1t was not even war for the human
race in general 1t was Cuban deliverance
in particular. We promised when this was
accomplished to make peace. Now this
condition has been so far fulfilled that 1t is
within our option to have peace on our own
terms. And now few traders calling them
selves export associations. or what noT
start up and demand more bloodshed in
order to secure something which not one
human being in the country cared for four
months ago, and which the whole people
would reprobate. and denounce, and shrink
in horror from as an original cause of war.
Yet If peace is within reach, consistently
with the causes for which we drew the
sword. then the prolongaton of the war on
account Of the Philippines is the same thing
in effect as going TO war afresh on account
of the Philippines.

How the Boys Regard These Gar
ments the Women Send.
KauSaS Citv Journal


There has been so much newspaper joking
about the stuff sent to the soldier boys by
the good women in Kansas that people are
loath to believe all the stories about the
sending of nghtshirts and napkins and
tides and sheets and things of that sort
Below we give list of things recently sent
to the Kansas regiment at Chickamauga
by the women and girls of Newton, and it
must be given entire credence, because it
was copied from a Santa Fe bill of lading.
Eighteen nightshirts, shirts, pair pyja-
mas 16 handkerchiefs, dozen Turkish tow
els, rubber drinking hose, box cob pipes,
Is boxes talcum powder, IL dozen safety
tons, Is pairs socks, 4 fans, IL pairs pillow
cases, Is sheets; also a large roll of linen
and large quantity Of papers, magazines,
In commenting on this shipment the New
ton paper says that each of the ladies who
made nightshirt tucked a nice little note
into the pocket for the soldier boy to whom
the garment might happen to fall. These
notes were kept sacred from the reporter
eye but no doubt they were laden with
messages of patriotism and love-
In this connection we note letter from
Captain Clark, of the Lawrence company
at San Francisco, in which he acknowledges
the receipt of a big box of nightshirts and
pyjamas and other things which he desig-
mates as light garments" In conclusion,
the captain says: II have nailed the box up
again, as the clothing, etc, will be greatly
appreciated at Manila, but here the. weather
is so. very. cold that flannel undershirts.
blue flannel shirts and heavy WOODEN under
And in this connection. too, we quote
the following letter from a long-headed
lieutenant with the Twentieth Kansas. who
bids the Kansas ladies to be of good cheer:
Let the Kansas girls know that their
nightshirts and pyjamas are appreciated,
even If we cannot wear them for the pur-
poses for which they were intended. l
have notion that when we get to Manila
these garments will come in mighty handy
for an everyday dress 4 have seen some
pictures of Manila women who seem to
be wearing a mother hubbard somewhat
like three have in my chest, and reckon
mother hubbards are just about suited to
the Manila climate"
And in conclusion we extract from let
ter sent from San Francisco by soldier
boy to his mother in Topeka, as follows:
II want to tell you about funny thing
that happened to my chum. girl or
his sister or somebody sent him a. night
gown, and, of course, he thought he had
to wear it. The first night he put 1t on in
the tent the boys gave him a hot time.
They marched him up and down the COM
pany street and introduced him to every
body as Miss Malinda sorghumfoot, who
had weak lungs and a nervous mind, but
who was coming out all right by careful
nursing. They made so much fun of him
that he almost cried and you bet he won
wear any more nightgowns."

SPURIOUS BIDS FOR BONDS.
AllOtments Made to People Whose
Names Were Unlawfully Used.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3-Assistant Secre-
tary Vanderlip is now sending to subscrib-
ers about six thousand bonds day and
this number will be increased later on. Re
Gently notices of allotments have been sent
to number of people who had subscribed
and forwarded the required cash, but who
now deny all knowledge of the transaction.
The indications are that their names had
been used by interested parties without au-
thority with a view to getting possession
of the bonds in violation of the spirit of
the law. These cases are under investiga-
ton. There are also a large number under
amount several millions so that it will be
impossible to state the maximum amount
which eventually will be allotted until all
of these cases are decided.

Rich Men and the War.
Gunton's Magazine.


The Locomotive Firemen's Magazine for
July contains an editorial attack Ameri-
can colleges for their unpatriotism in the
present war. The charge is that the rich
men whose sons attend these colleges are
opposed to the war, and, by their patron
age. control the attitude Of the faculty. This
simply shows the ease of proving that the
whole world is decaying whenever some
thing rotten is discovered in corner of
Denmark True there has been a luke
warmness in our large colleges during the
present crisis, but that is chargeable, not to
any improper capitalistic influence, but to
the ultrascholastic, laisseZ faire attitude of
mind that largely dominates higher educa-
tional institutions as legacy from the Eng
fish school economies and metaphysical
philosophy of a half century ago. Rich
mems sons form only small percentage of
the total number of college students, and
moreover the rich men of the country them
selves have, as a class, been supporters of
the war. many of them offering their per-
sonal services even, and others granting
leave of absence on pay TO employees, etc.
OF course the eye blinded with prejudice
