The Senator's first run on Sunday was
made by Anderson, who was hit by a

went home on a wild pitch.
The Cincinnati papers are stuck on the
Senatorial outfield and will gladly take
either Selbach. Anderson or Gettman off
of Mr.. Wagner's hands, Gettman's speedy
pedaling catching their eye especially.

LONDON, June 29.-A Port Said dispatch
to the Daily Chronicle states:
Admiral Camara's squadron is in most
slovenly condition. The bottoms of most
Of his ships are foul. and the repairing of
the machinery Of the torpedo-boat de-
stroyer Audaz would take at least a week.
The Buenos Ayres, Isla de- Panay, Cova-
donga and Colon have been removed to
berths assigned to ships likely to make a
long stay. The captain of the Pelayo has
landed his sick. Coaling, the taking on Of
supplies and the employment of native
stokers are prohibited, pending a decision
by the Egyptian government"
The Cairo correspondent of the Daily
Mail says: Lord Cromer has stopped a
French firm from coaling Admiral Ca
mara's squadron, pending instructions from
London
A dispatch to the Daily Mail from Port
Said says: "a distinguished naval officer,
who has examined Admiral Camara's ships
carefully, laughs at the idea Of Admiral
Camara attempting to reach Manila The
Spaniards. he says, are wise to keep the
meet out of the Americans way. The bat
tleship Pslayo and the armored cruiser
Emperador Carlos Quinto are in scandalous
disrepair-indeed, aree hardly seaworthy-
while 1t will be impossible for the torpedo

the party In all respects is in fine shape
10 embark IN a vigorous and aggressive
canvass.
Inc republican campaign, however, has
been Tor some time In progress in Nebraska.
The state is naturally republican. The dis
content incident to the great business de-
preston through which the country has
passed and the boundless promises of the
opposition tore 1t from it's political moor
lngs. 1t began to swing back with the re-
turn OF good times. Its bountful crops of
1897 and the wealth good prices have brought
into the state have offered convincing argu-
ments that the return of prosperity is not
dependent upon a cheapening of the cur
rency. The state has been engaged ex-
tensively in paying debts and in opening
bank accounts. Every mortgage Cancelled
hit the head of the pop contention for free
silver and fiat. Every increased bank de-
post laughed at the notion that debased
money was the best money. Every added
comfort was an evidence that prosperity and
republican administration were compatible.
The better conditions have been shared by
all. The farmer has profted and the trades
man prospered. AS the load of debt has
shrunk the air has been cleared of the
dismal forebodings of calamity. Hope has
succeeded encouragement and the appeal OF
the demagogue will find little response in
empty pockets and a forbidding prospect.
This is the economic condition that has
been at work in Nebraska and Kansas
especially, paving the way for a return To
republicanism.
The people have been learning that the
dollar backed by gold and republican ad-
ministration are good things TO tie to, and
the state republican convention voiced the
knowledge in no uncertain terms, Even the
personal pull and eloquence of Mr.. Bryan
will not be sufficient TO longer hold his
state against the array Of solid facts and
gratifying conditions that such an energetic
and aggressive republican campaign as 1t
promised in Nebraska will unfold and EN-
phasize.

For pa he's Just the bravest man you ever

The tricky Spaniards had to leave the hills
and run away;
Captain Capron, too,
And l wisht they hadn't had to die before
they ever knew
How much the people praised them. and
How well their comrades fought
I wisht they both could understand
The honor that they've got.
My pa was there somewhere, fer he was

And she jist looks, when l stand there,
With great, big starey eyes,

PASSING INDIAN NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

PASSING INDIAN TRIBAL GOVERNMENTS
The ceremony of giving over to a his

once powerful 1roquois nation of Ameri-
can Indians marked the ending of the
most important Of the semi-sayaee ma
tlonalities that We're found by the Euro
peans on the North American continent.
The farce of nationality was maintained
by the descendants of the Iroquois long
after all power had ceased, and so it
is with all of the nations or tribes OF
Indians on the North American CONT
nent, for ever in the Indian territory.
where the most serious effort has been
made to preserve Indian tribal integ-
rity, there has been none in fact for
many years.
Historical incidents are crowding each
other in h Indian territory at the pres
ent tlme. The process of dissolving ma
lions that have existed for centuries is
going on. The Dawes Indian commits

been resistance to the new order in
every n of the Indian nations of the
territory, the most pronounced being
in the Creek nation, where it became
necessary to invoke the power of the
federal court TO secure possession of the
tribal roll of members, The Cherokees
have been ~parleying for terms that they

While much criticism has been passed
on the American policy with regard to
the Indians, 1t is to the credit of the
American nation that there has never
been any complete destruction of q

they have been permitted to retain
their form of tribal government and Sc
many of their tribal customs long after
they had become wards of the nation.

WEST INDIA INVESTMENTS.

There will undoubtedly be o%pportuni-
ties for the profitable investment of
capital in Cuba and Porto Rico as soon
as new political conditions are estab-
lished in those islands, but it is quite
possible to cultivate ~eXtravagant ideas
regarding the chances that will be
offered there for enterprise and money
making, Cuba is unquestionably rich
in natural resources and two and a half
years of war has reduced the island al
most to a desert. The work of restoring
it to its former agricultural condition
Will give employment to some capital
and the further development OF the
island will call for money and labor.
American energy and enterprise can be
depended upon to take prompt and full
advantage of all openings that promise
q profitable return. The danger is not
that opportunities will be neglected, but
that the contest for taking advantage
of them will be overdone and that more
or less capital will be squandered in
Improbable enterprises II undertake

There will probably soon be presented
some practical facts regarding the real
material condition of Cuba and what
the chances are there for profitable in

tunities appear not to be very great.

chants who before the war broke out

PEACE REJOICINGs IN THE PAST.
Backward Over Former
Peace Treaty Celebrations.
Chicago Times-Herald.

Looking Backward Over Former
Peace Treaty Celebrations.
Chicago Times-Herald.
The presidents proclamation announcing
the cessation of hostilities will be followed
at a later date by a proclamation of peace
when the treaty of Paris is ratified, but
that will be a mere formality. Peace is as
sured, and there is no reason why we should
not follow the example of our ancestors and
rejoice.
The first peace jubilation in our history
followed the revolutionary war. When the
news was received that on the Both or
November, 1882, the preliminary articles had
been signed in Paris, the 18th of April, 1888,
the eighth anniversary of the battle OF
Lexington, was appointed by congress as the
day of thanksgiving and gloriication,
though this was several months before the
final treaty was signed. On that day
throughout the thirteen original states the
return of peace was celebrated with speeches
and rockets and bonfres and praise. In the
following December Washington babe fare
we'll to the continental army and resigned
his commission to congress, which eight
years before had conferred 1t upon him.
The next national peace celebration fol-
lowed the announcement of the treaty with
Great Britain after the war OF 1872. The
treaty was concluded at Client, December
"a, 1914, but it was not until the 18th Of
February following that the news was re-
ceived in this country. AS soon as the
ship arrived in New York harbor the bells
were set to ringing in every spire, expresses
were sent out in all directions, and as the
horsemen galloped from town to town tho
joyful cry OF peace was trumpeted along
the roads. Bells rang and cannons doomed,
while all parties, republicans and federalists
alike, rejoiced that the war was over.
In 1S4S the people were again called upon
to rejoice and be glad over the return OF
peace, and in the spring of that year, when
the announcement was made that the treaty
with Mexico had been signed, it was
celebrated with Nominations in all the
large towns and cities, by professions and
speeches and all manner of rejoicing.
And now at the close of another foreign
war the American nation. grown great and
powerful, most gladly resumes the garb OF
smiling peace.
