Patriotism VS.. Banks.

The American people freely make the
sacrifice necessary to Danish Spanish
cruely and oppression from the west
ern hemisphere and enlarge the area
of freedom. While they are engaged
in this God-given noble work, an enemy
more crafty and not less cruel than
Spain is at work in our rear.
The New York State Bankers asso-
citation met at Saratoga last week to
further the work Of confiscation and
spoliation inaugurated by the money
and credit mongers of two continents
thirty years ago and pursued by them
with relentless vigor ever since. The
Indianapolis monetary commission is
more active than ever before. Neither
the excitement Of war nor the heat Of
the midsummer sun causes relaxation
on their part. On the other hand,
they feel encouraged, and are stimu-
lated to put forth their strongest eff
fort at his time. believing that the
war will occupy the attention Of the
people and improve their. chances of
success.
The enemy in the rear is the only
enemy we need fear. He "steals the
livery Of heaven" ETC., using phrases
that appeal to the moral sense and
pride of our people, such as Sound
money" "best money" etc., and when
his object is to make legal tender money
scarce, and force the people to borrow
"the promises to pay" Of banks.
We warn the banks that the spirit
of independence, manhood and patriot
ism now active in the country will give
them the attention they deserve a lit
tie later. and before it is too late.

The Chicago Telephone is
considering the ACCESSIBILITY of charging
its patrons by the CALL" instead of ex
acting a fixed yearly rental.
This agitation is the result in a meas,
ure of plans of some aldermen to in
troduce an ordinance in favor of the
smaller users, arguing that persons or
nrms who use the phone but 600 or 700
times a year should not be made to
pay as much as those who used it
twice as often.
The directors of the company are in
clined to believe the new plan would
be a good one. 1t is in operation in
Greater New York, Philadelphia, Bos-
ton and Buffalo, and with success. The
measured rate" system fixes a mini
mum price for a certain number of calls
and a charge of each call over the
number agreed upon.
The lessee of the phone himself has
the option of fixing the certain num-
Der of calls he must pay for. The
larger the number of calls he contracts
for, the less is the charge for additional
calls. For instance, as in Boston, a man
contracts to pay $50 per veal for 500
calls and s cents for each call over
this number. If, however, he contracts
for 5000 calls, he pays STA, but secures
the additional calls for 3 cents each.
The small user, it is considered, is
much the gamer by the measured-rate
system.

forty miles east of Rapid City. He

the charge Of murder. The murdered

MAHAN'S OPINION.

Captain Mahan is extremely annoyed
at the attempt of Schley's admirers to
deprive Sampson of the credit of max
ing. the admirable fight off Santiago.
He declares that the battle was fought
just as Sampson planned it in nearly
every particular. 1t was not even ne
cessary for him to be present. If the
Spanish admiral had entirely changed
the conditions, so that Schley had been
called upon to invent a new plan Of
battle. Sampson relations to it would
have been changed.
Captain Mahan says: AT Santiago
all the dispositions prior to action, and
for over a month before were made by
the ommander-in-chief. A number of
orders. issued from time TO time by
him, for the enforcement of the close
watch Of the harbor's mouth, were pub

believing that Cervera's attempt to es-
cape by day instead of by night-the
incident of his conduct which has been
most widely censured and is most in
expIicable-was due to the fact that the
United States ships kept so close to the
harbor mouth at night that a dash like
his, desperate at best, had a better
chance when the ships were at day dis
lance. This was so stated, substantial

of the Colon. If so, the merit of this,

fires were banked. Nearly every ship

A LAW REFORMATION.

One of the very best Illustrations OF
the fact that one community stubborn
ly refuses to take on trust the expert
ence of another community, however
valuable that experience may be, is
seen in the past persistent refusal Of
the British Parliament to enact law
allowing a person charged with crime
to testify in his own behalf. In other
words the usages and habits of the
british people, like all other people,
are only slowly modified, if at all, by
reasons and the experience of the peo-
pie
For MANY years the American States
have granted this right to persons
charged with crime. The best Ameri-
can iurists, whose opinions are pro-
foundly respected by British states
men. approve of this practice, but the
British public until now has stubborn
" refused to accept their opinions.
We quoted recently from that re-
markable book titled THE Crowd" a
statement to the effect that men do
not act on their reasons, but on their
sentiments and habits. And Lord
Bacon said of men: Their discourse
and speeches are according to their
learning and infused opinions; but
their deeds are after as they have been
accustomed"

treasurer under President Lincoln, he

SECRETARY DAY.

Someone asked Senator Grimes, the
war governor of the State Of Iowa,
and a United States Senator for four
terms, if the average ability Of public
men was not declining. He replied that
you could find in nearly every county
in the United States men who would, if
appointed, make excellent Presidents,
Senators anu statesmen generally.
Statesmen needed only some common
sense, ne said, and if they had that,
give them an opportunity, and they
became famous.
Secretary Day was an unknown man,
one of the many thousands Of we'll
trained lawyers, possessed of a good
share of common sense, respected by
their neighbors, and hardly known be
You'd their county limits.
President Mckinley, his neighbor
and friend, gave him one Of the oppor-
tunities that Senator Grimes mentions.
So he at once rose to it, acquitted him
self we'll and in a few months became
favorably known to the whole nation.
The wicked Spaniards gave Dewey an
opportunity. Does any one believe that
there are not many men in the navy
and army who would have risen to the
occasion if the opportunity had been
offered to any one of them?
If the inner thoughts of very many
fr;J. oh
it will appear that, aside from patriotic
motives, their enlistment was largely
due to a desire to find these Opportun-
tiles. to secure political advancement
through the reputation of the soldier.
There can be no better comment on
the entire absence of class rule in
American politics than the selection
of an unknown man like Mr.. Day to
act substantially as Secretary of State
for nation of 75,OOO,O00 of inhabi-
tants There is no better comment on
Senator Grimes remark, made after
wears of observation, that the common
sense sufficient to administer public
affairs may be found in every county
of the United States.
Encouraging reflections of this ma
ture should stimulate our young men
and ambitious citizens to a desire for
political advancement. President Hos
mer or Professor Scott may even now
be training the brain of some boy, in
this town, of whom the newspapers OF
the future will say: 1--WE congratulate
Hawaii on having furnished the coun-
try with President who was born on
the Island of Oahu. The fact that his
grand parents were of Puritan ances-
try. while he has Japanese and native
Hawaiian blood in his veins, shows
the flexibility of our institutions, and
that the mixture of races does as well
in our Republican empire as it did
in the production of the AnglO-SaXOns
out OF five races, some hundreds OF
wears ago. The accomplished wife OF
the President, a woman of eXtraOrdin-
airy beauty, traces her ancestry back
to the French, Germans, English, Irish,
PoIynesian, Chinese, Japanese, He
brews and Bostonians. 1t was predict
ed many years ago at the period OF an
nexation that the union of many races
would secure a race even superior to
the boastful Anglo-Saxon. 1t has been
