Union Veterans Union.

MARsHALLTowY, Ia, Oct. 20.-The
Union Veterans union of Iowa met in
its second annual convention in this

spirited owing to the fact that in his
annual address Commander ]. B. Nor
gan took occasion to severely criticise
the action of President Mckinley in ap.
pointing General j. Rush Lincoln of
the agricultural college at Ames as a
brigadier general, thus, as he claimed,
ignoring the officers of the Iowa Ma.
tional Guard and insulting the Union
Veterans, as Lincoln was q Confederate
officer.

What Sunday, May l. began Satur-
day. December 10. completed. The
signing Of treaty Of peace in which
the United States would be the victor.
Gus party was forecast by the events at
Manila with tsfrible surety, ahd if Spain
refused to accept the omen, it was be-
cause her heart was hardened and her
eyes darkened Illusion and delusion
however, gave way rapidly, hopes Of
European Intervention developed but to
wither as Jonah's gourd; everything
tended to but one end-the success Of
the strong in the interest Of the right
and the utter defeat of weakness, further
hamstrung by the wrongs of its cause
From the day of the acceptance Of
the protocol. August 9 to the present,
there has been no other possible outcome
than that effect Saturday. 10 the hands
of less able. less diplomatic. less intel
lectnally resourceful, less equipped a
commission than that, that President
Mckinley so sagely selected. though
no doubt, the actual signing of the
treaty might easily have been prolonged.
But this was not possible, since to the
ar-seeing de6niteness of the administra-
ton policy was added the resourcefuI
rescluteness Of the brilliant group Of
American Peace Commissioners and ad-
visers, so that for once the favorite de
vices Of Spanish diplomacy absolutely
came to nsught. Neither Montoio's
nor Cervera's feet was less out Of com
bat with the American sJusdrons than
the antiquated methods Of the Spanish
Peace Commission when confronted BY
American convictions, stated with all
the foaoe Of the new diplomacy that hews
to the line.
The Peace Com mission hrs, therefore.
accomplished its work with celebrity itself.
Barely two months elapsed before Spain
bad agreed to tue terms Of the United
States. the signing of Saturday being |
the outcome Of the definite couclsions
reached the last week in November.

New designs for one dollar silver
certificates have been completed at the

the notes bearing them will soon be
issued. The central device on the face
Of the note is an American eagle, with
wings partly spread, clutching the flag,
aud with the dome of the Capitol in the
background Below the platform upon
which the gle stands are small por-
traits ofLincoln aud Grant set in medal
lions. Large and clear figures are in
each corner Of the note and on the sides
The space between the central device
and the lathe work at the eRds is clear
white paper for the Imprint of the seal
in one space and the domination Of the
note in another. The seal upon the
silver certificates will be in blue aud the
figures in the open space will be in the
same ink.
The reverse side of the note GORE
spends to the face in respect to the large
display of white paper without printing
or lathe work Large plain figures ap-
pear in each corner, and scrolls make
up an attractive border. but the only
remaining space upon which printing
appears is in the centre, where the
usual language regarding the qualities
of the note as a tender for public uses is
set forth. The object of clear display
of white paper on both sides of the notes
is to safeguard against counierfoiting
1t has been found by experts that it is
easier to detect the use of paper without
the usual silk thread, where it is not
covered by printing
