Just Suppose This.

Just suppose some statesman Of

States was in q bad condition 6nsn.
cially and otherwise. Suppose be
wished to show that this country is
far worse off than We believe Spain to,
be. What authorities would be suit
able for him to use? Populist plat.
forms and newspapers, oicourse. He
could by making collection Of these
find statements that the country Is on
the verge Of moral, political and
financial ruin; that men are selling
their bodies and women their virtue
in the Seventh district Of Kansas for
bread; that starvation and riot is be-
fore US, and that the country is ruled
by a set Of bloodthirsty sharks in hu-
man form who are trying to devour
the common people and make Of them
slaves. He could find that thereis no
one honest, that bribery and rascality
are at a premium, and that our pub
lie men are renegades and robbers.
The Great Red Dragon and the Seven
Conspiracies would stand out as the
principal points in the nations his
tory and there would be nothing but
woe ahead. Just think what a pic
ture be could present to Spain-and
all from the utterances Of supposedly
intelligent men Of this country, too!
We know it would not be true; the
men who put in the platforms and
papers know it is false, but the people
of Spain would believe it because 1t
came from our own lips. The abuse
and the villifcation heaped On our
own land by some Of our own people
would be allowed.nowhere else on earth
and there should be enough censor
ship to stop it here.

Spsin's Last Stand.

Spain's precarious condition in the
war indicates that it must soon give
up. Such certainly would be the
case il we we're fighting any other ns-
ton suffering the losses that Spain
has already met and is sure to meet
ii the struggle is continued. The
Philippines are already lost to her.
Cuba and Porto Rico will soon be.
After we have conquered these out
lying possessions and have destroyed
her power on the sea, it would be an
easy matter to seize the Caroline
Islands and the Canaries. All these
things can doubtless be accomplished
before the beginning Of the new year,
and in such a condition any other
country in Europe would make peace
and stand its losses as best it could.
But the conditions in Spain ARE un-
like those Of any other country;
her people possess such abundant
qualities Of endurance, such exag-
gerated national pride, that we
cannot apply the ordinary rules in
reasoning concerning her actions.
For centuries it has been one OF the
proudest boasts Of Spain that her peo'
pie refused to submit to Arab rule
after the conquest Of the peninsula,
but struggled against their Arab con-
querors and their Moorish successors
for 700 years, finally expelling them.
After Napoleon had expelled Ferdi.
nand and overrun Spain, possessed
its capital, held all the seaportS and
chief towns, put his own brother on
the throne, and placed in bis hands q
French army, the Spanish people still
refused to submit, just as they had
done thousand years before, and
maintained an unequal struggle until
with the aid Of Wellington and biz
veterans the French in turn were ex'
PEELED and Ferdinand restored.
Yet times are different now and the
Powers will not allow that nation tt
keep up a guerrilla warfare to thu
detriment of business. Nor do they
want to make it necessary for Amer
lea to attack Spain on the continent
Of Europe. Spain will have to qui
soon.

About the Prize Money.

1t is stated in daily paper that
Admiral SIMPSONS share Of prize
money by reason Of the capture Of
blockade runners already caught is
Sl50,000. That would make the total
value Of the vessels captured over
$4,000, 900, which is absurd. When
blockade runner is finally deciled BY
the prize court to be lawful capture
the vessel and cargo are sold at public
auction. The cost Of the sale-United
States marshal's fees, etc.-being de.
Quoted, the government takes one-half
the net proceeds. The other half is
then divided as follows: The admiral
Of the squadron to whom the vessel or
vessels making the capture belong
first gets one-twentieth Of cne-half
the net proceeds, and the commanding
officer Of the vessel making the cap
ture receives one.tenth, the remain.
ing seventeen-twentieths being divid.
ed among the officers and men Of the
vessel or vessels making the capture,
by the following rule: The aggregate
Of the pay roll Of the vessel or vessels
for one month is taken as a divisor,
and the quotient derived from the
division Of the amount to be distrib.
uted by such divisor determines how
many months pay each officer and
man will receive. II it takes $4,000
to pay the ships company for one
month, and there is 100000 to be dis.
tributed, the admiral's and command
ing officers share having been first
deducted, then each officer and man
will receive the equivalent Of ten
months pay. A landsmsn would re-
ceive $3.50, an ordinary seaman $50,
and a seaman $24O; an ensign would
receive 81 900, a lieutenant $500, a
lieutenant.commander $2,3SS.

The News seem to miss the point OF
these figures The "gold standard"
had been in effect IS years when the
above series commences and as an in
increase follows for three years there
could not have been any suffering
from that cause. Something else
must must be responsible. During
the wears 1890, 1891 and 1892 the
nation had Republican administra-
zion and it will be noticed that the re-
turns from the farm were generous,
giving a steadily increasing revenue,
In November 1892 a Democratic
president was elected, business fell
off and everybody was scared. The
farms returns fell off at once. The
money sent Dec. ID, 1898, shows a
large decrease. Then came four
years Of Democratic rule with its
panics, bond issues, labor troubles,
depression and distress. The returns
from the farm steadily decreased un-
til the last check sent just before Nc
Kinley was inaugurated, which was
barely one-sixth the amount in Harri-
sons administration.
The check sent in 1898 is not given,
probably because it shows an increase
again which would not suit the News
purpose. As one Of the chief objects
of Mr.. Livingston's eastern trip is to
buy that same piece Of land it is evil
dent that he is not afraid that the
"gold standard" will have any effect
on keeping down its future returns so
long as we have Republican admin
istration and prosperous nation.
We are under great obligations to
the News for this valuable object les
son. 1t places before the people
clearly and positively the advantages
Of Republicanism as a business invest
ment and the figures should have wide
circulation. They show how greatly
it is to the advantage of the farmers
i Of Kansas to vote for Republicanism
and prosperity and what they lost BY
the nations four years relapse into
Democratic mismanagement and de-
preston.

The Length Of the War.

Some Of the papers are very wroth
at the United States because the war
is no, already ended. They contain
every day complaints and advice
that are very valuable only as show
ing what they do not know about
runninga campaign. For instance
one leading Kansas paper declares
that the first movement ought TO
have been to put $4,000 or 10000
regular soldiers into Cuba at the
first announcement Of the war. IL
forpets th.t the nation had but $4,000
regulars and they I were scattered
from San Francisco to Boston. The
war is only about six weeks old
though it seems to have been Six
years since Dewey's battle, measured
BY the scarehead victories Of the vel.
low papers.
There is every indication that the
war will be short one. Those who
think 1t will last three or four years
are likely to be disappointed
The present plan of the administra'
seems to be to capture Santiago and
then to take San Juan, and thus OBJ
tain possession Of Porto Rico. The
capture Of Porto Rico would have no
direct effect on the result Of the war,
as things are now, except that 1t
would tend to weaken the Spanish
cause physically and morally
Havana is the central point OF the
campaign, and when it is taken Cuta
will be ours, just as the final occupa'
ton Of Manila will give us control OF
the Philippine Islands. 1t was COM
monty predicted before hostilities be-
gan that we should have Bull Run,
and that some large reverse would be
necessary to awaken the United
States to the real seriousness OF the
contest. But none such has come.
Not so much real resistance has yet
been met as our soldiers found in the
Mexican war, when Scott with his
victorious army had to 60 into camp
and await the arrival OF reinforce
ments. Thus far everything has gone
our way, so far as the reports have
become public, and the end Of the
war apparently depends only on the
speed with which the hammering
power Of the United States can hence
forth be applied
Reports from the other side equally
bear out the theory that the end is
comparatively near. Bread riots are
on the eve Of breaking out in the
Spanish cities, and great poverty and
distress everywhere prevail, The
war tax is sspping the last resources
Of the nation. The inevitable end
must be just as apparent to her
statesmen now as three months
hence, and every days delay in &C.
cepting peace makes all the harder
the burden of recuperation. 1t seems,
then, that there is little reason to be.
lieve that the war can last long.
