WASHINGTON, June 2l.-Two months
ago to-day war b ke out between the
United States and Spain according 10 the
proclamation Of the President and the
declaration OF Congress. The end OF that
period finds nearly 1890 United States
troops lying off Santiago preparing to
land: il finds cable communication estab-
llshed between the government at WASH
ington and the advance guard OF the ex-
pedition in Cuba, and It finds Cuban ter
ritory IN the possession OF United States
marines backed by a squadron. and
nearly all of the commercial ports OF
Cuba blockaded.
This is all apart from Dewey's great
victory at Manila and from the splendid
results achieved in organizing several ar
mics now IN the camps. Therefore the
officials OF the administration feel thai
they have a right 20 look back with
pride over what has been accomplished
in the short space OF two months. work

THE THIRD TO GO.
The government has now dctermihe1
to send heavy reinforcements to General
Shafter at Santiago. To this end the
first expedition will leave Newport News

General Dufleld's separate brigade or

Ninth Massachusetts,, the Thirty-third

way OF Tampa. for while Fernandina ana
Miami are considered as very good points
for concentrating troops yet army OF
ficials are now satisfied that Tampa can
be retained with advantage as the main
point OF embarkation.

The little town of Weston was cap

of Pythias, the occasion being the ded-

certainly one of the neatest in this Sec

by about one thousand knights, with
bands OF music, fire works and cheers
was very pleasing sight to witness.
The ladies of the Sisterhood furnished
meals for the visitors. Every ybody WAS
made welcome and well cared for. The
work of comforting degrees was done
by visiting lodges. Among those who
attended from Perrysburg were, G. j.

action, These gentlemen will please

The people in this section do not as a
rule realize, because they do not stop
to think what would be the effect upon
the public If Attorney General Monnett
in his unjust persecution of the Buckeye
Pipe Line Co., the Ohio Oil Co., and
the Solar Refining Co., should succeed
in driving these companies out of the
State. During the awful business de-
preston from 1893 to 1897 the oil pro-
ducing sections OF the State suffered
but little com pared with other sections
of the State. These companies pay
enormous amounts OF money to land
owners, to employees and in taxation
The Buckeye Pipe Line company has
spent millions of dollars IN building
tanks for the purpose of storing the
crude oil, and assist in making it {
merchantable article. What would the
farmers do il th ey could not have thei
oil piped and cared for until they cal
sell 1T, and what would the busines
men do If the cash brought to them b.
the many employees of these companie
was cut Off? An attack upon any in
dustry which Is directly instrumen nta
in bringing prosperity to large sectio
of the State cannot be justified on mer
legal technicalities, and unless TIL
people make themselves heard /
opposition to this unjust persecutio
they will be the losers, and have then
selves to blame. An earnest protes
should come from every part of tn
State against this action by Attorney
General Monnett.

ELECTRIC LIGHTS. .

Perrysburg must have electric lights
the present and future welfare OF the
village demands 1t.
Our council has made several futile
attempts to secure bids for lights but
their demands we're so great that no
one cared to bid under the specifica-
tions. During the past week two par
ties have come before the council ask
ing for u contract to furnish lights ut n
nominal COST The rate of siXty-hve
dollars for so small number as 2S
lamps OF 1000 candle power being very
reasonable. The council have thus far
tailed to close q contract on account OF
some objections they have to the pro-
visions of the specifications under
which the contractors have made their
bids. While the people expect the
council to make all reasonable demands
upon the contractors they do not eX-
pect or desire that these demands shall
be so great as to drive bidders away.
1t must be borne In mind that in the
event either Of these bids are accepted
it not only means an improvement
which our village must have, but 1T
means further that new business
plant will be established within our
corporate limits, necessitating an out
lay of from $1,000 to $4,000. in ncreasing
our tax duplicate, and giving employ
ment to workmen in its erection and
maintenance, also bringing to our town
q few more families as citizens. But
aboye all is the great fact that it will
give us an improvement which is one
of the greatest steps toward making
ours perfect village, and getting in
line with other villages which have
been more ambitious in keeping up
with the march of improvement, and,
too, at trihing additional cost over
that which we have, for years, been
paying for system OF lighting which
is but relic of the dark and dismal
past.
II our council wish to be entitled to
the good wishes and approval of the
people in their official acts they will
accept one of these bids now before
them.
Every business man in town has sub
scribed for lights to be furnished as
soon as plant can be established here.
Will the council make it possible for
their wishes to be gratified by making
a contract with one of these bidders
now seeking permission to come here
and lift our village out OF its present
dark and gloomy condition, or will they
refuse, and consign our people 10 cam
dies. tallow dips, stinking coal oil
lamps and an occasional lightning hug
on the street? We believe our council
to be composed OF men who are too in
teligent to turn down the enterprise
which now seeks admission to our viii
lage. LET there be light" gentle
men, and let it be the light of progress

Admiral Dewey with small fleet
sailed over Spanish mines and torpedos
and demolished the entire Spanish
fleet in the Pacific. He has now raised
two of the sunken ships and will soon
add them 10 his fleet. He has accom-
plished more than Sampson, Schley,
Hobson and all the others, and still he
was only an untred man, compelled to
act almost entirely upon his own iudg-
ment, but with all that his was the first
blow which struck terror to Spanish
hearts and made more certain the later
successes of American arms. The
newspapers are not filed with as much
gush OF Dewey as of Hobson and Others
but American hearts beat more quickly
when the name of the hero of Manila is
mentioned than they do over the name
of many others of greater newspaper
fame.
