DO Not Like 1t a Bit.

NEW YORK, Jan. pa. Madrid dis
patch to the World says:
The official intimation of the con.
tempIated visit of American war ves-
sells to Havana and the presence of the
American squadron in West Indian
waters has caused a sensation and
much displeasure at Madrid, which the
press of all shades of opinion echoes
today with much bitterness. El I'm.
parcial calls the conduct of America
provocation without justification, and
recommends Spaniards of Havana to
show Indifference during the stay of
the American vessels. .;:-fs Y.s..~
Sagasta says the Spanish, govern
ment attaches no importance to the
movement of the American ships, as it
is perfectly aware that President Nc
Kinley harbors no designs against the
present cordial relations between the
two countries. 1t is easy to see, how
ever, he says, how politicians and mill
tary men can apprehend denonstra'
tion by the old Spanish party in Ha-
yana- on the occasion of a visit by
American vessels, that would find an
echo in The patriotic feelings and
hardly suppressed irritation against
the United States in Spain.

-McComas Elected Senator

SPOKANE, Jan. 2j.-At least four
lives are known to have been lost by
last nights fire in the Great Eastern
block, and it il probable that other
dead bodies will be found when more
thorough search OF the ruins is made.
The building, a six-story structure, is
total wreck, ana the financial loss is
estimated at upwards of 100000.
All of the upper two floors and part
of the third floor were used for lodg-
iug purposes, and at least $50 people
were asleep in the building when the
fire started. While most of them es-
capped with only their night clothes,
it is now known that four. lives were
less. and at least six other persons are
missing. The dead are:
Miss Alice Wilson, aged Is.
Maud Wilson, aged 5.
Mrs. Rose Smith.
Mrs. Fl. c. Davies, of Nebraska City,
who died at the hospital this morning
from injuries suffered in leaping to the
pavement.
Mrs. c. Lewis, w. B. Gordon, Mrs.
Cora Peters and three children are
missing and are believed to have per-
ished.
Firemen are still playing water. on
the embers .of the fire, and it will not
be safe to search the ruins for the dead
until tomorrow.
Tine Great Eastern block was built
in 1890 at cost of $3.50, 600. and was
owned by Louis Levinski, of San Fran.
cisco. who carried but 1000 in
surance.
On the ground floor OF the structure
were the establishments of Joh7s
W. Graham Paper Company, station
ary and supplies, and Skerritt & Dor
nelly, boots and shoes. Both are total
losses. Graham carried stock worth
0,000, 20 per cent Of which is covered
by insurance.
The firm of Skeritt & Donnelly had
a stock of s25, 200, of which s20, eco was
covered by insurance.
In the offices above these were large
losses on law libraries and fixtures,
beside probably a still larger loss of
furniture and household goods. The
fire was singulnrly hot one, and the
fire department was long in getting it
under control. Even then the flames
rose hundreds of feet into the air as
long as two hours after it started. All
the hose ia the department was
brought into use, ard the stores of tie
city were called upen for all their
stocks. ~ s.ii llt

INTEREST ON PuBLic . DEBTs

F. The Tmes-Mouutaiuee has often
mentionHd that interest on public OBJ.
legations inthis state was too high,
and az evidence ofa.he correctness OF
this proposition the dispatches an.
nounce that Jackson: :coun,y warrants,
are selling at 2 andl3 per cent preul-
ium. This unquestfonabiy shows that
the taxpayers OF Jackson county are
paying too high rate of interest up
on the debt OF the county. II Is not
the purpose of the law that public OBJ
legations should. be collateral for
speculation, but rather that evidences
of corporate debt should bear such a
rate OF interest as will make them sell
at par, and will give only such returns
as will pay the investor q reasonable
| compensation for the.use of his money.
County warrants are always consid-
cred gilS.edged secureties, and as such
should bear no higher rate of interest
than bonds-of private corporations, for
it is the entire people who bear the
burden of interest nayments. When
ever such warrants 90; at q premium.
the. Taxpayers are paying.a higher rate
ofinterest than is igst. They are pay
ing too much for the accommodation of
having the county debt carried by
I those who seek certain investments.
One Of the first acts of the first session
of the legislature which the politicians
will permit the state to have should be
to reduce the interest rate or public
debts from 8.to per cent. This would
result in: a. great sa1ing to the tax
payers, and certainly the warrants of
very few counties lin the state would
fall below par.

DUTY OF SILVER MEN.

The question whether or not inter-
national bimetalism is possible, :, has
been put beyond the pale of discussion
by the failure of the Wolcott commits
sion, says the Salt Lake Herald.
While few had faith in the commission
being able to do anything for the
cause of silver when it departed on its
mission, Senator Wolcott's speech, as
a matter of courtesy, will be generally
accepted as the explanation why it
failed. He himself announced that he
would resign from it. From all this
anyone can see that the present ad-
ministration will make so further
effort in behalf of international bimet-
saiism. No matter what view may ba
taken as to the administration 8 SIM
cerity in all it has done, no one can
deny that it has demonstrated that
any further efforts in behalf of inter-
national bimetalism would be futile.
All this makes it certain that there
is nothing to be hoped for for silver for
three years, so far as the adninistra-
tion is concerned. Even now the adj
ministration, through the secretary of
the treasury, is putting forth all its
might to strengthen the gold standard.
And the republican party at the con-
gressional elections in 1898 and at the
presidential election in 1900, will APP
peal to the people on a single gold
standard platform.
Now what is the duty of the silver
men in the premises? 1t is to unite
forces as they did in 1896, and see that |
none but free silver men are sent to |
congress this year. 1t is recognized |
by almost everyone that silver will be |
the issue this year aad two years
hence, and friends of the metal can no |
longer fail to see that if anything is to
be dene for it, it must be done by the
United States acting independently. |
If this we're done it would have the
effect to cause European
to take notice of the fact
that this country is for the bimetallic
and there can be little doubt
that they would very soon begin to
shape matters so as to adopt it them
selves. Only partisan fanatic can
believe that there is longer any hope
or silver from the republican party.

In Benton county the sheriff is al
lowed a salary of $1,000 year and pays
his own deputy hire; the county clerk
gets $500 salary and is allowed about
5000 for deputy. Still Benton county
gets good service from these officials,
and there are plenty of good men will
ing to take the job. This is pretty
good evidence that some counties in
the state are paying higher salaries
than necessary.

NOT READY TO ANSWER.

Y lHEN the Examiner was civiiiy asked to give
lNf an accounting of the money it is collecting
from the public for the ostensible purpose OF
erecting monument to the men of the Maine there
was no definite expectation OF direct reply. Such
indication OF honesty on the part OF that paper
would have been unique, precedent TO be fol-

is neither surprise nor a disappointment.
Declining to give the facts itself, the Examiner
fers inqirers to George Gould as custodian OF the

tation as a falsiher but is known as honorable
business man, and thus that his statement OF the
can be depended upon. In other words, the reputa-
ton OF the Examiner management is such that it
would not be able TO make statement which could
be depended upon, and it turns the matter to
Gould While it is natural to admire this frankness
