GERMAN PRAISE FOR US

Consul. General Mason, at Frankfort
Germany, has sent TO the State Depart
ment the translation OF an article in a re-
cent issue OF the Frankiur.er Zeitung, q
paper which was conspicuous among the
German press for its friendliness toward
the United States throughout the war
with Spain, which is particularly appro-
DOS Just now. 1t discusses the results OF
the war:
"The conclusion OF peace, which ends
the Spanish-American war, marks new
epoch In history, not only for the United
States, but likewise for Europe. The
United States has taken an important
step toward the exclusive control Of the
American continent IL has also reached
beyond that and claimed its share in the
conduct OF the worlds affairs. Since II
now controls the West Indies, the con-
struction Of the Nicaraguan Canal will
be no longer delayed. Then will the
eastern and western portions Of the
Union be brought into closer relations,
which will be OF important significance.

naval power Of the United States.

AGUINALDOS IGNORANCE.

Aguinaldo, the insurgent chief, who
wants to be dictator OF the PHILIPPINES,
has made a confession in which he
declares that he knows nothing about
history, political economy, or geography.
He very innocently asked If Australia
was part of the United States. Agui-
naldo does not want a protectorate or a
provisional government over the Philli-
pines. He says he wants absolute indie
pendence. His conception OF independ-
ence is anarchy pure and simple and az
all anarchists look alike to Uncle Sam
Aguinaldo had better not try to put his
principles into effect. II he should he
will be taught some history He will
find out what the United States did
to anarchists at Chicago and he will
be used as an object lesson to impress
the fact upon the PHILIPPINES that Uncle
Sam is dangerous person to monkey
with.

CONE TO CLOVERPORT.

This is a year that is full OF promise.
The large crops that have been raised in
Breckenridge and the surrounding eoun-
ties will bring large amount Of money
and the farmers will be in better fnan-
cial condition than they have in years
past. They will buy more goods than
they have been accustomed to and will
do their trading where they will reap
the greatest advantages.
Cloverport invites the country people
10 come here. The merchants have
larger and finer stocks Of goods than
ever before. The prices have been
marked down lower than ever before,
and both these advantages should be
considered. The roads that enter the
city have been improved, and the farm.

pine islands, which will be developed
into strongholds OF American power. the
United States will reach across the Pa.
cihc ocean to the Asiatic coast, and will
have powerful voice in deciding the
destiny OF Eastern Asia, for It has there
just as important commercial interests
to foster and protect as any Of the Euro
p an powers. That 1t realizes fully the
importance Of this and other questions
at issue is evidenced by the promptnefs
with which 1t is proceeding 10 notable
strengthening OF its navy and standing
army.
THE people OF the United States, in
respect TO their resources and capacity
Of performance, can no longer be COM
pared with any other single nation; the
comparison must be made with the en-
tire rest OF the world. They form the
clearest and most convincing proof that
the United States Is, in fact, a great
world power, and as such must have a
world policy.

system breeds and fosters would have

PRIZE MONEY,

The law governing the distribution Of
prize money in the navy is a peculiar
one.
Under its operation Admiral Sampson
gets 100000 while Dewey gets $1,000
and Schley gets s., 900
1t will be remembered that Sampson
hardly smelled battle smoke in the late
war while Dewey, the victor Of Manila,
destroyed an entire feet and added an
empire to the territorial possessions OF
the United States. Schley, on the
Brooklyn, bore the brunt OF the sea fight
off Santiago. II the prize money was
divided according to the deserts Of the
men Dewey would get 100000; Schley
100000 and Sampson-why he might
hold the bag.

this has not happened, and for these
reasons it can be fairly said that the vic
tory Of the United States is a triumph
for progression and a gain for mankind.
"The New World power has now some

Cuba will present serious task, and the
Philippine question will be still more
complex and difficult. Cuba can be
managed BY the Americans alone, but
the Philippines are realm in which the

THOUGHTS ON THE WAR.


Mr. EDIroR:-Let us pause upon the
threshold OF our discourse to pay trib-
ute to the heroes. On either side has
been manifested the noblest courage, and
patience and endurance. Thousands Of
youths have dropped the blossom OF their
lives. Alas that for so many it should
be death utterly dead More and more
will years reveal that young Spanish
heroes died for an evil cause. Would
that 30 much bravery had bad a better
cause. Time will bring no venerableness
and no affection to defeated tyranny.
Nations enthusiasm never 90 backward
to search for deeds Of oppressors, to gar
land them with evergreen honor. They
die indeed, who die for monarchy. And
lapse OF years, aud growing justice, and
nobler humanities will only make the
mistake more dreadful, and THAR oblivion
more certain. II is indeed sad future
for those who mourn for sons slain under
the dark banner OF monarchy. No flu
ture historian will feel sacred enthusiasm
in recovering their names. No COM
ing millions will teach their children TO
lisp their names with gladness, the best
that can be done for them by patriotism
is TO draw a veil over their lives and 10
let them be forgotten. Over their burial
ground the hand OF charity can write
ON this, let their names aud mistakes be
iorgottsn. But how bright are the
honors which awaits those who, with
sacred iortitude and patriotic patience,
have endured all things that they might
save their native land from the power OF

MONEY AND LABOR WELL SPENT

Road working is about over with in

epoch in road construction and main
tainance in Breckenridge. The people
have awaked to the fact that good roads
are the highways Of progress and the
overwhelming sentiment in favor Of
improved thOroughiares has been fruit
full OF good results. The county magis-
trates, road supervisors, and those who
have worked the roads have put forth
their best efforts TO improve the condi-
ton OF the county thoroughiAres. Money
has been spent literally, but economical

results. So far there has been the live

Schemes for the Introduction Of Foreign

schemes for the Introduction Of Foreign
Capital In MiIsado's Land.
Vancouver (B. O., Sept. 15.-
Two schemes for the introduction
of foreign capital are about to be
inaugurated, says the Yokohama
Yorosu. One involves an amount
of 100000 yen, to be borrowed
by the Nippon Yusen Kaisha.
According to the company's calcu-
lations, the rate of its own divi-
dend is to be fixed at s per cent.
and the interest on foreign capital
at 2 or 3 per cent. Negotiations
have already been opened between
the president and foreign CAPT
taIist.
The other scheme aims at secu-
ring l00,000,00O yen from Ger
many through the One Hundredth
National Bank with the idea of
distributing as loans to various
railway and commercial and in
dustrial companies. Ikeda Keno
is said to be the prime mover in
this project, which is considered
not to have so good a prospect of
success as the Nippon Yusen
Kaisha's scheme. The japanese
Government is said to be behind
both schemes.
The United States japanese
bank scheme, almost matured
when the war broke out, is again
revived, the promoters say with
certainty of success.
