The long diplomatic struggle at Paris
is practically ended and Spain has con.
scented to cede Porto Rico and the
Philippines to this country for $40, 1000
geo, to release Cuba and give us an
island in the Samoan group. Spain
foolishly contended against giving up
what she had already lost and failed to
make as good terms as she might have
done had she been less crafty. Spanish
statesmen thought perhaps they could
win with smart diplomatic practice
what they could not win by war. The
United States now will be confronted
by new problems, the government and
control of alien peoples. 1t seems in
the progress of the world that it is
necessary for some of the stronger
nations to extend their power over
certain countries that cannot maintain
governments of their own. That our
government may exercise this autho-
rity for the good of the people gov
erned, is the wish and expectation of
patriotic Americans. That we will
exercise that authority with more
humanity and justice toward those
governed, and with more of spirit Of
progress than Spain has ever shown, is
believed by all.

Aliens Accusation.

The editor of the Advocate accuses US
of introducing dishonesty into politics in
this county. He charges we published
an election day circular which declared
that all negotiations between Spain and
the United States had been broken off
and appealing to the people to stand by
the president, etc" He says we knew it
was false when we published it. We
received the dispatch election evening
about o'clock and at once printed it
and threw some copies on he street.
When Mr.. Allen saw it he exc,tedly Of
fered to bet quite a sum that i never
came over the wire. However, lie quickly
backed down on that proposition. We
have the telegram on file in our Office
for the examination OF any one who
doubts our word. The dispatch was in
some of the evening papers in this part
of the country. How we are supposed
to knOlD the truthfulness or untruthful-
ness of each report is strange. A week
or two later the associated press fur
nished the evening papers with another
report that negotiations were broken Oft.
Only last week one of the Des Moines
papers announced in big head lines the
Gear Of Russia had been assassinated.
1t is not possible to absolutely know the
correctness OF every Geographic report
received before it is published unless
one holds the reports until they are old
before publishing. That the report we
published election evening proved to be
incorrect was no fault OF ours, neither
do we imagine it shows us to be dis
honest except in the eyes Of those who
might have an object in making it APP
pear 80. or course Mr.. Allen is inter-
ested in keeping Audubon county politics
pure and undefiled. His present efforts
In that direction are appreciated. He
has shown considerable enthusiasm in
calling us dishonest in this particular
and in bringing unnecessary PERSONAL
ties concerning US into discussion. We
do not reply in the same kind of way,
not because we could find no material
to use, but because we prefer to keep
our columns clear of personal attacks.

Editor Cook, formerly of Sioux City,
later of the Iowa City Republican,
founded the Davenport Republican
three or four years ago and closed
|out his business few days ago,
having lost his entire capital, $4,000.
He said that politicians persuaded him
into starting the paper, as they wanted
Ean organ. He neglected to ascertain if
the business field there needed another
paper. 1t and not the politicians is
the main support to newspaper. The
|ield there was really occupied before
ne entered. 1t isn't more newspapers

One doesn't hear much free-silver 16
20 talk on the streets these days. The
ogic of events, the revived business,
The complete failure of silver claims to
lnatefialzr, and the success of sound
money administration have largely
Iluieted the tongue of the silver special
st. Last Saturday there was one on
Audubon's streets who had courage
Enough to recall the arguments of two
,ears ago, when a sound money demo-
,rat came along and vigorously ex-
pressed his disgust at such sentiments.
The free silver man said the long line
Jf democratic administrations from
efferson down to Buchanan supported
Tree silver, and claimed Cleveland was
bot in harmony with democracy on the
Question. There was coined in one
ear of Clevelands administration
bore silver dollars than in the entire
administrations of all the democratic
Presidents previous to him. There
yere no silver dollars in circulation
Ehen Buchanan was president. When
he free silver man claims Cleveland'S
administration was out of harmony
nth former democratic admimstra-
ons on this question they are mis-
ekea except that it practically did
bore for silver than the others.

A $4,000 "Whistle."

Tie Omaha exposition is over and
the White City is still whittier with the
SHOWS of an early winter. But for all
that a query has been present in our
minds for some time in connection
with Iowa at the exposition
1t is this: How much better off is
the state of Iowa for the showing made
with her $4,000 appropriation, and
was the showing at all adequate as
compared with the great sum of money
expended? The state legislature, in
its two appropriations gave the sum of
$4,000 to be used in advertising Iowa
and her resources at the exposition.
The Express favored this appropriation
believing that the money could be
wisely used. We would need consider
able more enlightenment than that
which we now have to be satisfied that
the money was wisely used. The
writer spent several days at different
times at the exposition and was con-
stantly OH the look out for anything
pertaining to Iowa. Outside of the
displays made by private exhibitors
we were never able to find but two ex-
hibits-the one in the agricultural
building and the state building.
The latter architectural monstrosity
cost, we think, five or six thousand dol
lars. 1t was as much more poorly built
as compared with the Illinois building
as it was uglier. There was no exhibit
inside of it except altogether the rot
tenest collection of alleged art that was
ever gathered under roof. Some of
those miserable pictures linger with us
yet like nightmare. The bulk of
them were unqualifiedly bad and GER
tainly reflected severely on the taste
and talent of Iowa to the people of
culture who visited the building.
We were told by gentleman whose ex-
perience and knowledge in art matters
is not surpassed by anyone in Iowa,
that he considered the bulk of the al
legged paintings hung up In the Iowa
building rs a disgrace to the state.
But this appalling display does not ac-
count for any considerable amount of
cash appropriated, since we presume
the "artists" were glad to hang their
products any where free of charge
There were no displays in the building
that represented any considerable ex-
pense, and most of the help was ap-
parently cheap.
The agricultural exhibit was fairly
creditable, but should not have cost a
great deal. Good judges tell us that
ST 900 would have been an ample sum
to have made this exhibit. The display
did not cover a very wide range and
we are told that most of the products
came from a single Iowa farm.
These two exhibits, the building and
the agricultural display-as we have
said, were all we could find that repre-
sented the state. We also have the
assurance of gentleman-himself
large exhibitor-who spent great
deal of his time at the exposition, that
so far as he could learn there were no
other state exhibits. Neither was there
any advertising matter distributed.
Missouri, Kansas and other states is
sued large numbers Of illustrated books
which were given out, but nothing of
this sort was done on behalf of this
state. So far as we can judge there
ought to be an unexpended balance of
$4,000 of the exposition appropriation
