Probably it is with a pang of regret
 that the Examiner occasionally prints
 the truth. It tells of many things which never happen; and yet some things do happen of such importance that it canot ignore them. Its ordinary fabrication is recognized at a glance to be what Is technically known as a fake" and this, take it. is the pur- pose of that noble sheet. One of it's gaudy lies can be detected as far as the eye can reach. Therefore, there is no reason for following 1t up with an affidavit-the Examiner sign and sym bol of fraudulency. The affidavit has its proper place according to the yellow standard. Let a story be veracious. reasonable, credible, and over the Mis- sion-street Hearstlery there passes a shudder of apprehension. What if somebody should see and believe? To be caught telling the truth, Horrible thought! To meet an emergency like this. the affidavit mill is started, the truth is sworn to, and then there falls over it the comforting shadow of dis trust, and happiness reigns once more.

Several prospectors among the crowds now going to the Klondike are in search of a river of gold. In the ab- sence of anything better such river would be worth finding. Gold brought down in a tank steamer and drawn off into barrels would be a pleasant varia- ton. Some there are who regard these enthusiasts as over sanguine, but there is not one in the lot of scoffers who knows whether or not there is such a stream. The mere fact that they have never seen it is no evidence. Nobody ever picked up gold from. the foot of rainbow, yet the existence of the metal there has not been disproved. Indeed, it seems not unreasonable that the rainbow gold constitutes the source of the river now being sought. Each suc- ceeding rainbow depositing it's aurifer- ous accumulation, there would in time be a vast supply. AS the bow is so con- structed that 1t must shed water, the probability that it would start a stream can be recognized, and this would na- turally wash away the gold, and there's your river.

maiu. Since the pernlcious h. tentions of the Filipinos have be- come known in Russia the press of St. Petersburg and other publica- tions expressive of Slavic policies have tentatively advanced an pnmis takable preference for American dominance in the Philippines as against native rule, or the still more dangerous alternative of a division Of the islands among Euro pean powers whose interests are at variance with Russia's.
 "On the other hand, the friendship of the disturbed natives is not to be dispised. The Insurgent chieftain, now self styled dictator, is shrewd enough to realize that the fimsy fabric which he has patched to- gether is dependant entirely on the complaisanee of the Americans. No matter what his ulterior motives may be, neither the power nor the opportunity to disclose them will be
 offered to him until the Spaniard has been eliminated from the ques- ton. The same key lits both sita
 ations and Dewey holds 1t with a master hand. When he has dis posed of the captive Spanish lien,
 he will be ready to do business with Aquinaldo's monkeys.

BROTHERHOOD OF
 LOCOMOTIVE FlREMEN
Pass Resolutions on the Death of William
 Simpson.

Your committee, appointed toI draft a memorial report upon the death of Brother William Simpson, of #tna Lodge No. 1G3, Brotherhood of Locomotive Bremen, of Pine Bluff, Arkansas, fully submit;
 That in midst of life we are in death" and that we esteem it an honor to commemorate the death of one so worthy of our love.
 In life he was trusted, honorcd and beloved by the people with whom he lived. His domestic life was most happy.
 Blessed with wife whose thoughts were eongenial, he was also the father of a devoted and loy- ing family, who will cherish his memory and not be unmindful of his life of devotion to them. Death came to him unexpectedly, but not among strangers; yet it found him fully equipped for the journey, with the lives of others dear ones fh his keep ling, and ever mindful of his duty; nevertheless, he passed into the Great Hereafter with none to cherish nor to comfort him. save the assur- auce of a true, honest and well-spent life, and the whlsperings Of Gods messenger, the Angel of Death, in his mind, he departed this life to 8 land "from whose bourne no travel CT returns"
 When we thus rememb CT such prin eiples that have emanated from such a pure man, we may profit by emu lating his example, so that when God calls us, we may, like our below ed Brother William Simpson, be like him, and in obedience to the Mes. senger of Death respond. "I come, come" He had DO conscious feeling of any gentle touch upon his brow save Gods, He Who befriends us all. The loss of such father Is irrepir- able.
 May we not. therefore, do all in our power to sustain the bereaved family by our genuine sympathy and sincere grief at his untimely death? May we profit by the study of such q life.
 His family will grieve for the loved and lost, but let them be eonsoled by the blessed promise their religion has revealed to them, and then it can be said.
 .'There is no death; what seems so is
 transition;
 This life of mortal breath Is but a suburb of the life elysan,
 Whose portals we call death. '
 No words of eulogy from us can add to life well spent May all learn from the life just closed a beau tiful lesson and appreciate the in spiration in it's example.
 Resolved, That copy of this memorial report be published in the Pine Bluff Press Eagle, the GRAPHIC. Courier and Commercial, and be it further
 Resolved, That a copy of same be furnished Mrs. William Simpson.

"IT is estimated by the authari- ties at Washington that the cost of the present war for one year will be
 f5O0, GOO, 900, says the Arkaasas Democrat It is quite evident that the warefare of today though efee- tive is expensive It's expensive nes8 is best shown by comparison with former wars. A Washington correspondent has made the com parison. Our war for independence lasted eight years, and it's cost is officially recorded as about$l35, GOO, i. GOO. There were about 310,0O0 troops engaged in that war-one- third more than have been called out in the presnt conflict with Spain It follows that accepting Mr. Ding ley's estimate of $500, GOO, 000 a year as the cost of the present war, it is going to cost four times as much to dght Spain for one year in 1898 as it cost to fight Great Britain for the eight years from 1775 10 l783. The war of 1872, which lasted two years and eight months, cost the United States a little over $107, GOO, ,000, and to carry it on we put in the field 576,00 troops, nearly three times as many as we now have under arms. The Mexican war, which lasted two years and three months, cost the American people $100, ,0OO, 900, and 112,0OO troops were engaged in it. If the number of troops who carried our flag yictoriously to tue capital of Mexico had been doubled, they would have about equaled the num- Der of the army now in the field against Spain, and the cost Of their two years ana three months of oper- ations would have been only about $200, 900, 900.

Dewey's Diplomacy.

The value of finesse in the make up of a great captain is demonstrate ed most forcibly by Dewey s conduct of our affairs in tbe Philippines. The alleged gaucheries of General Shafter in dealing with Garcia serve to accentuate the first proposition, ? says the St. Louis PepuJlic.
 Without recognizing or abctting the cause of Aguinaldo's insurgents about Manila, our Admi. al in the Asiatics has contrived to retain their fear and respect. He went a step farther when Cayite first fell into his hands by standing between the plundering natives and the Spanish wounded in the hospitals. That he enforced his authority with fine tact on that occasion is eyi- deneed by the fact that he has been enforcing humanitarian safeguards ever since.
 "The dexterity and daring which Aguinaldo has displayed in estab- fishing even the semblance of a popular dictatorship will be lost on Dewey, if indeed it does not oper- ate towards simplifying ultimately the attitude of Europe in regard to the final fate of the disputed do

LOYALTY to the Democratic party

LOYALTY to the Democratic party pre-supposes fair play in the selec. tion of its nominees. 1t also carries with it the obligation to carry for it's nominees those who have been honestly and fairly selected by the people. This duty is incumbent upon those in charge of the party machinery, and when it is violated, or not faithfully executed, 1t is not obligatory upon honest aud loyal partisans to be bound by such action. Principle and patriotism are above party, and no man who steals the badge of the party IS entitled 10 the support of honest Democrats be cause of such theft.
