How Blanco Heard It.


Cleveland Plain Dealer: General Blanco
sat alone in his curtained office. His eye
was hazy. and his chin dropped against
his uniformed chest.
Suddenly a wild Gathering was heard on
the outside. The general reused up. He
looked towards the door. dust begriIn-
ed >avalry man burst into the apartment.
"General. he Sasped, Il am the bearer

With a low moan the stricken Blanco
slipped down in his char. His hands

something in this connection from the
New York Commercial Advertiser for
the Enquirer to ponder over:
The Maine Democrats fight their
state campaign this year on the silver
issue Some wonder is expressed over
this. but it is not surprising. 1t is the
states. as web as everywhere. the
party is still officially committed to
silver.
Silver is recognized as the paramount
issue between the parties, and the only
difference time has wrought. since 1896.
is to make the declarations of Demo-
Gratis for. and Republicans against free
coinage. little clearer and more en-
phatic.
The Illinois Democrats have begun a
most aggressive campaign in favor Of
the Chicago platform upon which
Bryan ran for the presidency. The
Democracy of Indiana is making hard
fight for silver with a strong silver
ticket in the field
So it is in every section of the coun-
try from which an expression has been
HGdfu, tIe tNSpuDllcdHS are uSCidA illS
for gold standard, and the Democrats
for gold and silver both. And the Eph-
rain Enterprise was right when it
said:
The earnest determination of the peo-
pie of the United States TO continue
the fight against gold monopoly in war
as well as in peace, is manifested in
every state in the Union where conven-
tons have been held during the cur
rent year.

NO GOLD BONDS.

The state board Of loan commission
ers, consisting of the governor, secre-
tary of state and attorney general, has
under consideration plan to issue and
sell s15O,Ooo worth of state bonds for
the purpose Of taking up like number
of bonds issued by the territory of
Utah. If this is not done, a sinking
fund will have to be provided for the
redemption of the territorial bonds.
The important feature of this pro-
posed issue of bonds is that they shall
contain a clause making the principal
and interest payable in gold. The ar
guments in favor Of this are the same
that have been urged in behalf of the
insertion of a gold clause in govern
ment bonds, but it has never been in
serted in any government bonds. This
being so, why is it necessary that it be
inserted in the state bonds of Utah?
United States bonds provide for the
payment of principal and interest in
coin; let Utah bonds do the same.
There is no demand on the part of
the people of Utah that the state bonds
be made payable in gold, and were the
proposition to issue gold bonds submit
ted to them they would say: mo gold
bonds!" And the board of loan COM
missioners know this. Not a member
of the board would dare so before the
people for reelection on a platform
demanding that the public obligations
of the state-state or municipal-be
made payable in gold; the member do
ing it would go to certain defeat. Make
Utah state bonds payable in gold and
all the goldbugs in the country would
say that the people of Utah had turned
their backs upon silver. Consciously
or unconsciously. the board proposes TO
furnish the enemies of silver with 10
inch shells for the purpose of destroying
the cause of free silver Do the Re-
publican officials who compose the
board of loan commissioners propose
to betray the state?
No gold bonds for Utah!

EFFECTS OF BoMBARDING SAN
TIAGO.

II is now known that the guns mount
ed on the Notifications at Santiago
were not so powerful as was supposed,
though they were by no means to be
IesDised. 1t is also known that on
SIMPSONS ships were some of the most
powerful guns ever made. These guns
were repeatedly turned upon those for
tifications. and shells and shot by the
hundred sent against them. What was
the real effect of these immense pro-
iectiles? When the bombardments We're
taking place, the correspondents never
carried of telling how terrible was the
havoc wrought. One day earthworks
would go UP in a cloud of dust as they
were hit by shells. and on the next they
would be ''pulverized"; yet they were
there on the following morn.
What was the real work of the shot
and shells sent against the fortifications
of Santiago? That is most interest
ing question. from a military point of
view, perhaps the most interesting of
any, for the modern battleships, with
their great guns. have been believed
able to demolish any fortification. No
doubt General Shafter has caused
thorough investigation to be made of
the Notifications that were bombarded,
for the very purpose of answering the
question. The result of the iavestiga-
ton will be forwarded to the war de-
partment. 1t is well known that Samp-
sens bombardment of San Juan
amounted to nothing more than waste
of ammunition. To what did the bonn
bardment of Santiago amount? is now
the question. 1t is a very important
one. American coast cities. like New
York and Boston. will hardly be in
such terror of bombardment in future
as they have been in the past.

An American citizen can be turned
into a good soldier in from three to six
months, but it takes four years Of
hard study and severe discipline TO turn
out an officer from West Point. The
lesson Of all this is that every year
West Point should turn out three or
four times a many young officers as
that famous school now does.
