A Costly Blpnd~P.

A Madrid dispatch says the wa,
has cost Spain $3.50 900, 900. Tha,
is big price to pay for blunder
but it does not cover all the cost tc
Spain. It has lost in addition all
its possessions in this half of the
globe, will lose more or less in the
eastern Asian archipelago and loses
its position among nations of any
consequence.
All this might have been avoided
If it had listened to reason when
the United States FIRST suggested an
arrangement of the Cuban question.
If it had acted wisely then a way
could have been found for Kidding
itself Of Cuban responsibility and
at the same time receiving compen-
eation that would have provided
for considerable proportion of the
debt ostensibly incurred on behalf
of Cuba. but from which the island
received small benefit. But it would
not listen and the consequences is
that it loees Cuba and all it's other
possessions in the West Indies.
without compensation, suffers other
enormous losses and still has the
Cuban debt on its hands.

Stephen A. Douglas, son of I'LL
nois' little giant, who contested for
the presidency against Lincoln in
1860, has withdrawn from the re.
publican party and cast his fortunes
with the democracy. His letter OF
withdrawal. which was made public
at Chicago last Thursday, gives MS
reasons that the tendency of the
republican party is to "fasten the
government under the control of
the money power" while the ten
dency of the democracy is to con-
troll the power of money and place
the government in the hands Of the
mass of the people. Mr.. Douglas
says he firmly believes that the
only thing that can prevent this
country from being ridden
on the one hand and mob-ridden
on the other is to place the govern.
ment in The bands Of the plain PEG.

The "Kurner' Wants Mckinley Pie.

Col. w. H. Brodhead, at one time
the nestor of Ketchum Democracy
and who has been waxing fat on
Democratic pap for the past four
years as Register of the Land Office
at HALEY has '.jiced" the Mckinley
Republicans. in other words the
"Kurnel' has performed the trapeze
act with such masterful dexterity
that he has landed right "squar''
in the middle of the goldbug ring.
The "Kurnel" made his formal
debut in the goldbug party at Hal
ley last Saturday when he presented
his credentials as delegate to the
Mckinley Republican county con-
vention.
The Maynard son of Democracy
was received into republican folds
with = flourish of trumpets and he
was straightway made secretary OF
the convention.
There are some people mean
enough to hint that the "Kurnel u
made his sudden exit from the
Democratic party because the pie"
had given out, and there was q
chance for him to satisfy his sppe-
tite At the Mckinley lunch counter.

Plans for the temporary govern

az result of the war are now under
serious consideration by the presi-
dent and the members of the cabi-
net. Puerto Rico, as an actual ad.
dition to the territories of the United
States, will be placed in charge OF
military governor, who will exer-
else a supervisory control of all
the functions Of government, under
the direction of the president, until
congress shall determine upon a
permanent form Of government for
the island. Upon the evacuation
of Cuba it is believed to be the in
tention of the president to establish
for the whole island q temporary
military government similar to that
now in operation At Santiago. When
order has been fully restored and
the people have been settled down
to their peaceful occupations it is
believed to be the view Of the pres.
ident that a convention of repre-
sentativee of the people should be
called, to vote upon the question of

a Costly Hug.
A Boise man was recently fined

public. The justice who imposed
the fine probably thought that j,
would have been aIl right had the
embracing been done sub rosa. The
little incident caused the funny
man Of the Boise Democrat to in
dulge in the following rhapsody on
the subject of hugging:
The price Of hugging differs as
much AS that Of other commodities
A man once Rugged = young

She became his wife and he says
the hug is proving to be worth much
more than the annual coet.

Bosto on Journalsof EducatioF, prior
| to the opening Of the Omaha Expo
sition, paid it . visit. Following
his visit was lengthy letter from
his pen regarding the Exposition,
ito prospects, etc. Among other
things, be says:
mo twenty men Of my acquaintance
could have made me believe that half
have seen in Omaha At the grounds of the
Trans Mississippi Exposition could be
true. Isaw the Worlds Fair week be-
fore it opened; saw it on the opening
day and on the closing; On the Fourth 81
July, New York day, and Chicago day.
saw CALIFORNIA; mid winter carnival on
Mardi Gras day, and the Atlantis Exposi-
ton ON several days, 70 that what 10 here
10 written from an experience with tho RI
vals Of the Trans Mississippi Exposition.
Neither the San Francisco nor the Atlanta
exposition - to b mentioned with the
Trans Mississippi. In both these there
was sense of sadness in remembrance Of
the Worlds Fair, but mot 80 with Omaha.
How often has it been said that the world
would never see another white city. But
it has. Irreverent - it may seem from
one who has admired the white city al
most to devotion, to say it, I venture the
statement that the view of the Court of
Honor up the lagoon to the Administra-
ton building 10 more beautiful than any
possible view Of Jacksons Park in 1898.
Ia proportion, in uniformity " beauty, in
perspective, in continuous line of building
and colonnsde presenting An unl,rokcn
graceful white line back from the winding
shores Of the lagoon, by day, and the
maze Of electrical glory by night, there
- beauty unkoown At Chicago.
1.-THE government exhibit il in every
respect more elaborate, more interesting,
and more instructive than ever before
made. The electrical exhibit far outshines
that 1t the Columbian exposition. The
world has moved electrically in Eve years,
and every latest beauty and device OF
harnessed lightning will be on dress par
ade from June LIST to October 3lst. The
agricultural exhibit is to be larger aud
up to date. Out Of doors ~ we'll - in
doors there will I've . grand display OF
these resources of the West notably of
the wheat, corn and sugar beet industries.
The art exhibit is . good second to that
At Chicago. There will be cash prizes
for stock competition, and display Of
blooded horses, cattle. sheep, and swine,
that will far Outshlne that Of Chicago.
The Transportation building equals that
at Chicago. The Manufactures building
10 not SO extensive, but is very interesting.
The mining exhibit vii! very nearly equal
that at Jackson Park, and the Midway
we'll, there will I've as much fun to the
square inch as on the plaza. The Streets
of Cairo, the Streets OF AL Nations, the
Moorish Palace, the Japanese and Chinese
villages, will rival the same Worlds Fair
displays. The general arrangement of
the merry making will he more sstisfxC
tory, and the instructive foreign features
will he almost ~ good. Several things
will he missed. Vienns will not lie there,
nor the undressed SOutl, Sea Islanders,
but the supply of fun will be ample.
