The Griggs County Courier has had
time to think the matter all over and
analyze the result. It concludes that
"had Winship delivered his votes at the
right time instead of holding on until it
was too late, Mr.. Bartlett would have
been nominated" 1t further concludes
that shaving a%ntagonized a majority in
both factions of the party it was impos-
sible for Winship to win and he goes
home a badly defeated candidate"
While the Courier var disappointed it
believes the republican ticket a
thoroughly representative and good one
and will give it earnest support. The
Courier man seems to be ghosted a lit
tie by some ''gang"-would have pre-
ferred, we presume, that that section of
the state that always rolls up good re-
publican majorities would have had
nothing to do with the making of it.
Instead of taking such a narrow view of
it would it not be better for those who

EDITOR W1NsH1p informs the people
that if any increase of railroad assess
ment is made-it will be a grand stand
play for campaign purposes-and as
Winship has been making the greatest
grand stand play in the state for the
past couple of %years-in an endeavor
to secure the gubernatorial nomination
he speaks with all the assurance of
an expert in this business. There was
nothing said about grand stand plays
when Allin was governor-and Winship
wallowed in state kerosene-the Herald
being creased through the potent in.
fuence of the oil inspectorship.

party. The Herald-during it's editors
absence--having stated that ssthe re-

is a bad one"-the Forum takes issue
with this statement-believes the meth

with The Herald that s'the solution now

not result in a defeat Of the republican
ticket. 1t most sincerely regrets that
Mr.. Winship should have taken such a
stand, or that he should have permitted
his newspaper to encourage republicans
to take part in the fusion" movement.
The Forum pays Mr.. Fancher a high
compliment-says he has been a con-
scientious. painstaking and industrious
official who will make a most excellent
governor. Now if Editor Winship will
be fair and quit scolding the republican
ranks will be closed up again in the face
of the enemy.

NATIONAL honor, of which Spain
possesses so much, is ar expensive thing.
A little over three months ago, Spain,
by e%vacuating Cuba, might have saved
herself a disastrous war and the balance
of her colonial possessions. Now, she
will have to Immediately evacuate Cuba,
Porto Rico and the minor islands in the
West Indies over which she holds
sovereignty. All these islands except
Cuba she will be required to formally
cede to the United States. No condi-
lions will attach to her abandonment of
Cuba except that she shall relinquish
her connection with it forever. The
United States will be free to do with
Cuba what it WILL. subject, of course, to
the promise that it will give the Cuban
people a chance to choose the destiny
separate independence or annexation
which they desire, the United States
meanwhile retaining an army of occupa-
ton in the islands and maintaining a
protectorate over it. The United States
demands a coaling station and an island
in the Ladrones, and a coaling station
in the Philippines, the city of Manila,
with it's bay and harbor, to be held
pending the disposition which is to be
made of the whole group of islands.
This matter is to be determined by a
joint American and Spanish commission.
The terms here offered represent the
minimum territorial demands which the
United States will exact from Spain.

POSSIBLY every person has not realized
that with the annexation of the Ha-
waiian islands all trade from there with
the United States will have to be car
ried in ships flying the American flag.
Under the present laws all coastwise
trade, which is business from one point
in the United States to another point
in the same, the ship must be of Ameri-
can register and ownership. If Cuba,
Porto Rico and the Philippines should
become the property of the government
of the states, the same rule would apply.

become fully operative only after a quar-
ter or a half year has elapsed, while
others can be enforced only when cases
pending in the courts have been de-
cided. Yet persons are found who make
haste to conclude that the new law will
fall short of its purpose. In twenty
three days Of July the law has yielded
a revenue Of s33,525,572, or about ST.
45G,OOO daily. Some Of it's provisions
were capable of anticipation, and con
siderable revcnue at the ontset was thus
cut off, while the effect OF other pro-
visions will not appear for some time to
come. But the receipts thus far have
been at the rate of over $3.50, OO0, 900 a
year. Strictly speaking, if the law were
to be judged at all in the light of present
insufficient experience, it would have to
be held rather more productive than it
was originally intended to be. Allow
ance must be made, however, for the
fact that purchases of stamps at the
outset are usually for considerable time
to come, and that other payments are
to cover periods not yet expired. The
same law might not yield as large a
revenue in succeeding months, because
the first month of a fiscal year usually
brings considerable settlements of vari-
GUS kinds. When these things are taken
into account, with the obvious fact that
full payment has not been realized on
all provisions of the law, it seems within
the truth to say that it has worked thus
far quite as we'll and has yielded quite
as much as was expected.

UNLESS good reasons exist it is hoped
that Judge Corliss will not resign from
the supreme bench at this time. In
case of vacancy it would be the privilege
of the governor to appoint a successor
to serve until the expiration of Judge
Corliss' term. Probably no lawyer in
the state would aspire to this'honor and
possibly nc really worthy lawyer could
afford to accept the nomination. It ie
hoped the rumor of the immediate resig.
nation of Judge Corliss is unfounded.

PROF. HALLAND, who has SO success
fully managed the department of public

UNFORTUNATE Spain is just beginning
to realize what a horrible thing this
was is-for her. After figuring up the
money cost of the loss of Cervera's feet

paper at Madrid exclaims:
"This is horrible! This is dreadful!
ION account of the lost ships? No
Spaniard would weep over ships lost in
another Trafalgar. On account, then,
of the blood that was shed? There is
Cuba covered with our blood, and no
body ever thought of it. What makes
our grief greater is not tie extent of
our disaster, but the consideration that
what for us was humiliation was for
the Yankees an affair Of one moment"

In June last Keenan& Sons, live stock
merchants of Chicago, sent out a large
number of inquiries in regard to the con-
dition of cattle and sheep, the number
to be marketed, and the months that
they are to be marketed; many answers
have been received from which the firm
reports us follows:
The quality of the cattle has not been
as good for the past ten years; are fat
and improving every day; grass is good,
and cattle will go on the market in AL
condition. The bulk of the shipping
will be done during the months of Sep
TENDER and October, and a fair supply
during August. Shipments will be
about rs per cent of last year; some sec
tions have more than last year, but the
majority of the replies show less.
Large ranchmen are being crowded
out by small dealers, who give more at
tention to the raising and having of cat.
tie during the winter season. Large
ranges of the west are fast being settled
up as it was in the past with Kansas,
Nebraska and Colorado. The days of
the big cattle ranches are coming to a
close. Cattle will be in smaller punches,
but with the large increase of settlers
there will be no less cattle.
With the present demand We feel con-
fident that western cattle will bring
good prices the coming season, selling
at from $3.50 to SIS per cwt. for beef,
while feeders will be ready buyers at
from 81 to $3.50. Native feeders being
very scarce, SO cattle feeders will have
to buy Texans or westerns to eat the
immense corn crop that is almost as
sured.

The new q law is doing quite

to Mr.. Dingley's statement when it
passed, to add s138, 481, 3O6 to the re-

those who framed the law that it would
not be possible to judge with great
accuracy the fruitfulness of internal
taxes which had never been tried in
this country, or Of others which had
not been tried for thirty years or more.
