The War.

Spain is dallying over accepting the
terms of peace offered. To give up all
claims to her possessions in America is
hard for her pride. She fails to appre-
ciate the favorableness of the terms in
that they do not demand money in
demnity. The question of the DISPOSE
tion of the Philippines is proposed to be
left open to be settled by commission.
That promises TO be one of the most
difficult problems that has confronted
our nation in many years. 1t may be
harder to let 60 than it was to take hold
of those islands. Meantime, as Spain
figures, Miles is pushing his victorious
troops through the south of Porto Rico.
He meets welcome, the people being
glad to throw off the Spanish yoke.
Other troops are to be sent to the Phil
ippines as soon us possible.

Five Per Cent Annual Interest.
IIowa State Register.l


Referring to recent paragraph in
the Register, the Carroll Herald says:
The Register says that ex-senator j.
B. Harsh, of CrestOn. is making farm
loans at per cent per annum. There
was never a time when money could be
had more easily by those able to give
satisfactory surety, 1t is now ques-
ton how to invest money so as to Sc
cure even moderate returns.
Fhe Register was and is authorized
to make that statement. We have been
waiting for some paper to deny it,
but so far not one of the free and un-
limited silver coinage papers has given
any indication that it has seen the
statement. We are prepared to prove
that it is true, and also prepared to
prove that the money can be borrowed
on farms that paid 20 per cent annual
interest before "the crime of 1873"
when the farms were of less than one.
fifth of their present value. In other
words, the farms have increased to five
times their value when they paid %
per cent interest, and they can now
borrow money for one-lifth the rate of
interest they paid before "the crime of
1878" Not only that, but they can
borrow money for per cent interest
that is worth 100 cents on the dollar in
every civilized country on the earth.
These are solid and important facts,
and they prove that the farmers and
laboring men of the United States have
greater interest than any other people
i'll the maintenance of the full gold
value of every dollar of money that
circulates in the United States. Every
dollar is now a full dollar-gold, silver
and paper-and every dollar is worth
100 cents in gold. This is the year for
all the voters of the United States to
unitedly DEMAND congressional
action that will forever establish the
gold standard principle in the laws OF
the Nation.

The balance of trade is in favor of
the United States for the fiscal year
just closed and the balance is bigger
by some millions than it ever was be-
fore. 1t begins to look like the repub-
lican administration or the Dingley
law or something was a good thing for
our country. Some of cur democratic
friends say the present prosperity is
due to the providences of God. Sena-
tor Thurston says the republican party
is one of the providences of God. The
providences of God happen to bless us
IN conjunction with republican admin
istration great many times.

Consul to Montevidio, A. w. Swain,
of Oskaloosa, who was colonel Of the
Third Iowa before he resigned to be u
consul, writes an interesting letter
which is published in the Register. He
greatly regrets he is not with his regi-
ment. Among other good things he
says:
War is a hard, horrible thing. The
first camps are all right-the new meet
ings, the strangeness of it all gives Il
tinge to it that adds romance and glory.
But when the days of march come,
when the real man is unhusked like an
ear of corn, when human selfshness is
let loose, as that sort of life does loose
it, and men stand forth as they are
when you have to change judgment
and tax charity to bankruptcy; when
sickness comes; when the glory of the
battle line reveals death rayaging-all
that the new soldiers have to learn, as
you and had to-but they will stand
it as well, and being spared, thank God
for having had the chance of standing
up for flag and country.

/ want to say TO you people today
that it is the greatest blessing of heav.
ell for the people of the United States
to have their first war with a nation
powerless to make war on our sea-
coasts. If we had had war with great
nation such as Germany, France or
Great Britain, we would have paid Il
penalty that would have caused the
people of the United States in the
future to always be ready for war, and
I want to say to you now that the way
for great nation to always have peace
is to be always ready for war.-Con-

In writing of the death of Bismarck
the Carroll Sentinel says: "The three
men who tower above all others of this
century in intellectual greatness are
Pope Leo, Gladstone and Bismarck"
We fail to understand the standard by
which the Sentinel measures. We
think Bismarck's great will power made
up for intellectual ability and made
him the most forceful man in Europe.
In real "intellectual greatness" we
think America has produced more than
one man during the century that is
superior to Bismarck. If enduring
fame be made the test of intellectual
greatness, and perhaps it shouldnot be,
even then we have produced at least
one man who eXcels Bismarck.

Although Mr.. Lewis, of Glenwood,
and Mr.. Beeson, of Red Oak, are can
didates for republican nominations for
Judge in this district, it is conceded
that the old judges will easily be re-
nominated. They are Thornell, Smith
and Green. 1t is admitted by all that
in ability and integrity these men are
an honor to the district. Audubon

is thoroughly deserving of renomina-

Tonight the republican caucuses are
held i'll the different townships of Au-
dubon county. They should be well
attended as nothing helps the party
organization more than good strong
caucuses. Then if they are well at
tended the will of the majority of the
party will be much more likely to be
carried out. Delegations of represen-
tative men should be selected to the

week, care should be taken to nomin-
ate the best possible ticket. Give us q
good ticket and we can elect it.

The following is reportedto be the SEN

The following is reportedto be the SEN
timents of Senator Jones, of Arkansas,
chairman of the democratic national
committee. IT they correctly voice the
sentiment of leading democrats, and
we presume they do, there will not be
much issue between the parties on
imperialism" This is what Senator
Jones says:
The United States Is pledged to the
world that an independent stable gov
eminent shall be established in Cuba.
When l voted for that resolution moth
ing was said about imperialism. This
country cannot afford to 60 back on
Its pledge. These are my private views,
which believe are those of the demo
cratic party. do not know what con.
ditions may arise respecting Cuba, but
/ have never known a Spanish-Ameri-
can community capable of self govern
ment, and it is possible since we have
set out to free Cuba from the Spanish
we may be compelled to pursue a
course which will eventuate in control
of the island. While L am not in favor
of the acquisition of territory in the
tropics, this course would be less
Objectionable than any other. Cuba is
as adjacent to the United States as is
Porto Rico, but the thought of annex
ing the Philippines is preposterous, un-
democratic and not in accordance with
the principles handed down from the
days of Thomas Jefferson. We began
this war to secure the independence of
Cuba and nothing more. When we
have accomplished that end and Spain
has Unidentified us for the enormous
expense of the war, orr mission will
be done.

A MISTAKE.
Persons Have a Wrong Conce ption of
q Feature OF the Dog Check

Some persons have mlsconceptioll
of one feature in part cular of the dog
tax law. They inform the county
treasurer when they go to pay their
tax, that the deputy assessor told them
that if they presented a. the treasurer s
office their receipt for the tax paid to
the assessor on the dog, the money
would be refunded. This is mistake,
and results from misunderstanding
of what the deputies told some per-
sons. Some of the deputies have told
persons who were assessed inside the
city. that in case the present city ordi-
nance regarding the dog checks should
bs repe aled they would perhaps have
their city check fee refunded TO them
The misconception arose from that
state ment.

company in the list of Indiana militia,
but his trip was comparatively a
useless one. The fault seems to lie no
place else than in the sixth
district with Richmond as the core. In
conversation with Mr.. Wilson, the pri-
vate secretary of Governor Mount,
that gentleman said that there was
considerable Indifference in the sixth
district, which he would not try to
account for. but it was fact new
ertheless. He showed Mr..
| Shiveley a map on which the location
of regularly organized companies was
mai ked by a peg, and, as MIR. Shiveley
said, There was nary a peg In the
sixth district" 1t is reasonable TO
suppose that the organized COM
panies, which have been in ex-
istence for years or even months,
will be the first ones to be given pref
erence over the cities where no such
companies a, Q in existence, or where
very little attempt has been made to
organize one. The fault, therefore,
seems to lie with the Richmond
boys alone and if they are new

they have not persistancy enough TO

Adjutant general Gore told Mr.. Snlve-

to do was to go ahead and

there is little doubt but that recogni-
