CHAUNCEY M. DEPEw in his speech
at the Auditorium, Chicago, Tuesday,
made the following brief but cOmpre
hensive summary of the war and it's
results: ~
" One of the most dramatic episodes
in history is the 100 days covering
Napoleon's return from Elba and end
ing with the battle of Waterloo, " con-
tinued DR.. Depew. " In that campaign
most of the results of the French revo-
luton and tie struggle of European
peoples for liberty we're wiped out.
How different the 100 days of the
American Spanish war! At it's close
Cuba is free, Porto Rico is ours, the
American flag floats over the LadrOnes,
two Spanish fleets have been destroyed
and sunk with the loss of only two men,
the Spanish power has been broken
and its hold upon the western hemis-
phere severed, while the guns of Dewey
have given to US the Philippines and
opened the way to China. The people
of Cuba are assured by us of liberty
and law This richest of islands and of
countries, under the inspiration of
peace and the opportunities of liberty,
will attract from our shores tens of
thousands of industrious and energetic
citizens. Whether it continues indie
pendent under our protectorate or
comes as | believe it will and must by
the votes of its citizens, under our flag,
instead of being a burden, it VIII
nightly enrich our country and furnish
market for the surplus of our farms
and our factories. Porto Rico also,
with it's splendid climate and rich soil,
is destined to invite from our country
our people and our products. The
responsibility of governing these coun-
tries and the Philippines is great, but
the policy of governing them by reeog-
nizing the manhood of their peoples
has never been tried"

In comparing the work of the war
department with that of the navy de-
partment it must be borne in mind
that an almost inconceivable difference
exists between the two. In the first
place the number of volunteers in the
navy are in very small proportion to
the total number engaged. By far the
greater percentage OF those engaged in
actual naval warfare throughout the
recent campaign were regulars; those
who had been accustomed to the rowing
life of the marine and whatever of
hardship befalls him. Moreover, when
once accustomed to the life on board a
man of war is net so arduous as might
be. They carry their own store house
with them and it is usually kept we'll
filed When empty, however, 1t is no
difficult task to replenish it when not
on hostile waters, or when in the
vicinity OF neutral or friendly countries.
1t does not require that the food be
sent over infinite miles of railroad,
through various complications, stops,
exchanges, ETC., and finally landed at
at station possible still a long dis
lance from the seat of the necessity.
If the fleets chance to be so situated
that there is no port accessible where
provisions can be gotten they are sent
in transports and not delivered until
they are transferred to the very boats
whereOn they are needed. In many
instances, however, as was the case in
our war with Spain the boats can go
into a convenient harbor and secure
provisions. During the time of war
with all our modern facilities traffic on
the open sea is much more expeditions
than on land in a hostile country.
This is not said to in any way dis
parage the splendid conduct of the war
department. We cannot commend TOO
highly the great efficiency and
achievements of that branch of the
government service. But the country
has been at an enormous expense In
keeping the machinery of this depart
ment oiled and in good repair. Had
our navy stood in the same proportion
to the demands of the occasion as the
Al IL L. L =
result. AS it was the system was in a
condition prepared for action and the
equipment sufficiently large to meet the
emergency, while in the army this is
Just what was lacking. The campaign
on the part of the army was not SO
much one of blunders as the result OF
blunders made previously in the build
ing of the system.

ACCORDING to her custom Spain is
slow in making up her mind to any
definite line Of procedure in the peace
commission. Perhaps it is not remark
able that the vanquished should cling
with desperation to the hope that she
may retain her colonies regardless Of
conquest. She is reluctant to say the
word or give the signal which shall
result in the diminution of her territory.
But Spain is defeated and the United
States is not prone to loiter. The
Commissioners know we'll their bust
ness and will not tolerate any unnec-
essary delay. Both by the results Of
war and by her misconduct throughout
many years Spain has forfeited all
right to Cuba, Porto Rico and the
Philippines and though it seems like
the leaving of ligament she will have
to loose these arms of her dominion.

Fleeing from Yellow Fever.

Jackson, Miss, Oct. 12.-The proc
lamation Of DR.. Purnell, state health
officer, advising still further depopu-
lation of the city, is having its eff
feet, and more people are departing
for the north. 1t seems impossible
to check the spread Of the disease.
An impression prevails that there is
yellow fever in Millsap College, north
of town, but this is an error. The
nearest Infection to the college is sew
eral hundred yards distant The
new cases were reported Tuesday-all

suspicious sickness near Crystal

THERE are some of our war critics
who aim by their criticism to teach les
sons which will mitigate hard condi-
tons in a future campaign. Such cri-
ticitm is no doubt just and warrantable.
But aside from these there is class of
would be critics who seem to base
their complaints solely on the fact that
suffering and hardship have been
undergone by our troops. They seem
to think that war is merely nursery
game in which wounds and death are
only mimicry. They believe in huge
navies and large standing armies, but
when it comes to war they express the
same sentiment as did the mother who
when asked by her child If she might
go to swim responded,
Yes, my darling daughter, -
Hang your clothes on hickory limb,
But don't 60 near the water"

THE Democrats are tireless 10 their
efforts to deceive the people of the
Badger state into believing that the
coming election should be carried out
on purely state issues, thus diveFting
attention FROM the real questions at
issue But in spite of this it must
not he forgotten that we have TO
elect congressman and Il srDatOr.
In doing so it must be borne in mind
that twO great questions are al Issue,
the money question and the tariff
The Republicans have 50 far succeeded
in red aeming the pledges Of The ST.
Louis platform, Notwithstanding the
Democrats and POpulists inbOth houses
of Congress have done all that was
possible to block tariff and none
tary legislation. Both of these ques-
tons are still alive. They are bound
to come up in one form or another
and when they do it is the duty
of Republicans to send to Congress
men who will support the President
and aid him in carrying out the policy
of the party he represents, which
stands for national integrity and thriv-
ing business conditions.

Robbers Loot Michigan Bank.

Grand Rapids, Mich. Oct. 12.-The
private bank of Jacob Denherder at
iceland was looted by robbers early
Tuesday All currency was taken, ex-
cept $1,000 in silver, which the thieves
rejected as too inconvenient to carry.
From noises heard by those living
near by it is believed the vault was
blown open and the safe wrecked at
about o'clock. Nitroglycerin was
used in wrecking the vault, and every
thing shows the work of professionals.
Mr.. Denherder refuses to tell the
amount stolen, but it is believed to be
between $4,000 and $4,000.
