The Soldiers Letters.

Much tender sympathy has been
wasted on the volunteers who have
gone to the front because they have
no stamps with which to send letters
home. United States soldiers need
not put postage stamps on their let
tiers. By special provision Of
the postal laws a soldier may mail
a letter without postage, and it will
be forwarded tot Its destination. When
the letter is delivered only
single-rate postage will be collected.
To insure this favor on the part Of
the postal department the soldier
must clearly mark soldiers letter.
on the outside Of the envelope, also
sign his name and official designation
and the command to which he belongs.
The same regulations apply to the
sailors and marines. Senator Harris
Of Kansas has also introduced a bill
to extend the ranking privilege to
volunteers so that no payment Of post
age whatever will be needed.

LLOYD & N0TT0RF.
May Got the Senate.

The result Of the election Of the leg.
islaturs in Oregon indicates that there
will be Republican majority in the
national senate next winter. Oregon
had two Republican senators
until March, 1897, and since then has
had one senator because while
Mitchell could not be reelected he
could hold the senate in deadlock and
prevent the election Of anybody else.
The overwhelming Republican major
ity in the Legislature insures the cleo
ton OF a Republican sound money
senator. One seat now occupied by a
Democrat, that of German, will be
turned over to gold Republican next
March, through the election Of Nc
Comas by the Maryland legislature
last winter. Another Democrat,
Mitchell Of Wisconsin, is sure Of a
Republican successor, who will be
sound on the financial issue. The
chances must certainly be considered
more than even that similar changes
will occur in the cases Of Murphy Of
New York, Smith Of New Jersey, Tur.
pee Of Indiana, and White Of CAL
ifornia, all Of whom belong to the
class whose terms will expire next
spring, Leaving out Of the account
Bill Chandler, who "wabbles" more
or less, there are 81 gold standard
Republicans whose terms last through
the next congress or who are sure to
be succeeded by men Of the same
mind. Maryland and Oregon already
assure two more, and Wisconsin is as
certain to send another as though the
election had already been held, bring
ing the total up to forty, which would
rise to iorty-iour with Republican
victories in The four generally I lose
States Of New York, New Jersey, In.
diana and California. II Nebraska
could be added to the list and send a
gold standard man to succeed the
Populist Allen, the casting vote Of the
vice president would give that side
majority, even il Chandler should be
eccentric enough to go the other way.
II the elections next November shall
give the Republicans the house by a
large majority, there is good pros
pect that they may control the next
senate also.

Binding Irvine.

The News desires to remind the farmers
that the price Of binding twlne has more
than doubled In the past few months, and
when they make their purchases for this
years big wheat crop they will realize what
burden the Dlngley tariff has placed upon
them. This law Is directly responsible for
the big advance and the Republican party ts
directly responsible for the law. Remember
this when voting time comes this fall.-lDick-
lnson County News.
We call our esteemed contempor-
sry's attention TO section 49l Of the
Dingley tariff law. 1t will find there
that binding Irvine is on the FREE
LIST. There Is no tariff on 1t what.
ever except II imported from a coun-
try which places an import duty on
Irvine sent there from this country
then the tax is one-hali Of one cent a
pound. The value OF the binding
Irvine imported into this country in
the.fscal year 1895, the latest figures
at hand, was the colossal sum OF &c.
422, being the value Of SS7, $50 pounds.
Were this all from country which
taxes our exports Of Irvine and so sub.
ject to duty it would make "bur-
den" Of 81, 1886 but in fact only one
sixth came from such countries. The
value Of the binding Irvine exported
in the calendar year 1895 was $685.
sos. 1t has in no year since 1887
been less than $l68, 1856 and the aver
age for the ten years ending with
1895 was 1904, 900 annually.
We also call the attention OF the
News to the fact that the free list OF
the Dingley tariff law Is Identical with
the free list Of the Wilson law with the
exception OF three items-brass and
Dutch metal 10 per cent, petroleum
taxed 40 per cent and cocoanuts taxed
20 per cent under the Wilson law are
under the Dingey law free.
The tremendous injury to the farm
er from the "burden OF the Dingley
tariff" on binding Irvine which is on
the free list can be figured out at the
News leisure. A country that ex.
ports 20 times as much as it imports
would surely not suffer materially
from any sort Of tax-even were one
imposed. Every farmer who has
turned Populist or Democrat from the
"burden" Of the Tariff (D on binding
Irvine is requested to study the figures
a little before grooming in sympathy
with the News. Remember this
when voting next fall"

A Hearty Endorsement.

The Republican state convention
adopted unanimously the following
resolution:
Resolved, That we endorse the pa
triotic devotion and official course Of
our United States senator, Lucien
Baker, and our devoted representa-
tives in congress, Charles Curtis and
Case Broderick.
This was a hearty and genuine
tribute to the work Of Senator Baker
in the upper house Of congress that
shows how strongly the Republicans
approve his work. Mr.. Curtis and
Mr.. Broderick also have reason to be
proud Of the utterance Of the party's
representatives.

The Enlistment Bungle.

This city saw yesterday a good ex-
ample Of the Populist way Of doing
things An enlistment day was set
for that date. Would.be soldiers,
fine, manly looking youths, came
twenty, fifty and even ninety miles to
enlist Many had no more cash that
enough for their fare. But the Of
ficers, appointed by Gov. Leedy, did
not get here. Leedy did not know
where they were or when they would
come. They sent no kilograms or
notices. The boys stood around town
all day. Last night over 50 were
cared for by the city because they had
no place to sleep. 1t is the Pop way
of doing things. The first troops
were subjected to delays, false moves,
a camp Of mud, low rations, deficient
clothing, officers appointed for poll
tics and other glazing abuses that
made Kansas a laughing stock and
exposed the boys to embarrassment
when they started for the front. A
Pop administration is a colossal
blunderer in peace; in war its actions
simply fall outside the boundaries Of
common sense.

The great significance Of the splen-
did victory in Oregon for Republican
ism is clearer when it is remembered
that Senator Mitchell followed off the
gods Of free silver and the party two
years ago was half inclined to follow
the cheap money fetch. In the
platform this year it was explicitly
stated that the party sis opposed to
free silver in any form at the present
ratio" and the Republican gain was
over 5000. This is sound money
year.

The War Hsvs Puzzle.

An' Pu1AsinS cusrscter OF the war
news has we'll nigh worn out the
patience Of newspaper editors and
readers during the past two or three
weeks Never since the opening OF
the war has its character been so con.
fusing and battling. The worst OF it
is there seems to be no principle by
which to distinguish the true from
the false. Never were the facilities
for news-gathering SO taxed to fur
nish the latest and most accurate &C.
counts OF the progress Of a
war as now and never was definite in.
formation Of the movements Of con.
tending forces SO meager.
We were told that Hobson effect
uall!y bottled up the Spanish fleet by
sinking the Merrimac in the opening
70 the harbor. As it was intended to
keep Cervera in SO it should have
kept Sampson out, yet along came a
dispatch saying he had entered and
sunk two Spanish ships. Then there
were reports Of troops landing in
Cuba, battles on land, a union with In
surgents and after it all the cheerful
information that owing to unforeseen
difficulties no troops had yet embark
cd at Tampa. Later there was posi-
tive information that $1,000 troops
were en- route, then after it was sup
posed that they were on the island

sunk amid great carnage by lS.inch

Scarcely had the paper dried when it
was learned that it was not the Terror
but a railroad train on the shore

not hit. The .'last cable" was cut
this week, and it will probably turn
out that there are two or three more.

ing-what the censor "suppresses''
or the "prominent official" publishes.
This is certain, however, 1.-The public'is
kept in the dark and the veracity Of
newspapers that endeavor to get all
the accurate news is unjustly con-
demned. In such dilemma the con-
scientious newspaper discriminates as
we'll as 1t can between news that has
some claim to credibility and that
which is manifestly bogus and sensa-
tional and gets just as little Of the
latter on Its bulletin boards and in its
columns as possible. This the Re-
FLEcToR has been and is doing and it
believes that it is better to give the
facts only and refuse credence to the
wild rumors and reports which are
sent out one day only for the purpose
Of being denied the next.
