evidences that men of business are
overcoming the commercial timidity
excited by the outbreak of the war and
prosecuting their operations with the

show unmis.akaLiy what is the estimate
of bankcrs, who should be the best
judges in such matters. as to the stabil-
ity and healthiness ct the financial stu
alton. The evidences Of confidence will
beget further evidence; and it will be-
come more and more evident that the
war interruption to the great revival
which set in during the last half Of 1897
is but a nlomentaiy halt and Will have
no permanent influence in checking the
process of recovery from the silver
decentralization OF previous years. In
deed, costly as the war is likely to
prove, it is already foreseen that it is
destined to lay the basis for a great
national revival which will far more
than compensate for these temporary
OUTLAWS. 1t can never injure a young
and vigorous nation, resting on its past
and neglectful of it's future, to sustain a
sharp shaking up such as a foreign war
is apt to inflict. Such an event starts
inquiry as to what are the national
resources, what use has been made of
them, what has been neglected and
what is within reach. This sort Of
national survey has revealed to US a
way to new openings f II our commerce:
it has discovered to us our rank and
standing among the nations, and sur
priscd us by its demonstration of our
power to command the Difference and
respect OF the worlds greatest powers.
It has uncovered to us a great future in
the worlds competition for ~interuation-
al trade: which is the one thing the
country most vitality needs, aud the
absence of which has cast grave fore
bodings over the prospects of our over
producing industries. 1t has also
created the occasion for offers of CO.
operation with the worlds foremost
commercial power in the promotion of a
policy that would subject international
trade to military dlctation and monopo-
ly. These are among the things that
the war already offer us as it's rewards:
and it is not III uprising that the spirit of
the people is becoming more confident
and hopeful.

shape much will depend. The United
States will learn the strength and tenn
per of the insurgents, and will be able
to estimate the aid, great or small,
which they will be able to render in
completing. the work of driving the
Spaniards out of the island. The greater
the Cubans' numbers and fighting abili-
ties are revealed to be, the smaller the
force Of Americans which will be needed
to finish the conquest of the island, and
the greater will be the influence of the
Cuban soldier over their compatriots
when the business of setting up a civil
government begins at the wars close.
On these revelations in a large degree
also will hang the question of whether
the government shall make another call
for troops, which is believed to be in
contemplation. The greatest of all the
questions, however, in immediate inter-
est which will depend on the approach
ing battle is as to the probable duration
OF the war. If Santiago is quickly cap
tured with only comparatively slight
loss to the Americans, The peace move
ment in Spain, which is already reveal
ing itself, will quickly reach large di-
mansions. Spain's cabinet, it is said,
will rcpudiate any peace conditions ex-
cept those which "include the retention
of the colonies" but the American vic
tory at Santiago will probably put the
cabinet in a more complaisant mood.
Perhaps it will overthrow the cabinet
and make the dynasty's tenure of power
shaky. Recently the Spanish populace
have been quiet, but this is because the
commandments Of Cuban ports and the
failure to capture them on account of
the absence of a land force have given
Blanco and the government in Spain
chances to claim Spanish victories.
When the news reaches Madrid of the
capture of Santiago, including Ccrvera
and his fleet and the Spanish army at
that point, concealment and Justification
by the Spanish cabinet will no longer
be possible, and then the revolutionary
elements, which have only been awaiting
a Spanish reverse to give them a chance
to assert themselves, may be heard from.
Mauila brought Spain to the verge of
revolution; Santiago may take it beyond
the verge.

WE desire to call attention to the fact
that virtue is always its own reward.
During this intense hot weather, while
Major Edwards of the Forum and
George Winship of the Herald arc swell
tering to ecurc their respective deIega-
tons to the state conventions; while the
major is fran ically calling upon the
people to sit down with Il dull thud
upon the political carcass of Jim Hill
and Winship is wildly beseeching the
voters to recognize true goodness and
magnificent ability as centralized in
himself, Editor Tuttle of the Mandan
Pioneer is calmly wheeling over the
Appian way, quenching his thirst per-
haps from the same red lemonade pail
that was used by Nero or even the i'm
moral Julius Caesar, picking ferns from
the basilica of the Emperor Augustus,
and sailing down pieces of the floor of
the royal palace Of the Emperor
TIberius. 1t is not every newspaper
mar who is granted an opportunity to
toy with the relics Of these ancient
rulers. Few editors have the privilege
of swiping down upon a basilica, cab
baging floors from royal palaces or
drinking out of Nero's red lemonade
pail. But is gratifying to the newspaper
fraternity to know that Tuttle is ramb-
ling through the places where the old
Romans used to store their belongings,
behead delinquent subscribers and
otherwise distinguish themselves. And
it would not surprise the fraternity of
the state to see Tuttle come home with
a chartered steamer loaded with
basilicas, mummifed rulers whose use
fulness has long since passed into a state
of innocuous desuetitude, and the re-
mains Of the colosseum to be used as a
grand stand for the Morton county fair.
Tuttle is nothing if not enterprising and
we desire to call the attention of the
Italian authorities to the fact that a
live North Dakota newspaperman is in
their midst and thatif they have any re-
gard or affection for their mummies,
basilicas. royal palaces and historic
ruins, they want to keep 'em in doors.

We note that considerable enthusiasm
prevailed at the meeting of the fusion
leaders at Fargo and there was much
rejoicing over some reported dissensions
in the republican ranks which were in
terpreted to augur we'll for the fusion
lists. The fusion leaders of the state are
exceptionally sanguine prophets if they
see anything in the political situation
this year which promises them anything
but a large cud of bitter reflections to
chew after the election. If the past
record of the pops and democrats in the
state did not stand as an insuperable
obstacle to their preferment for office at
any future time, there is the undeniable
good effect of republican rule, the un.
exampled prosperity of the state, the
excellent record of the republican state
administration and sundry other things
that bode no good to the fusionists. Az
to ~dissensions, there is always a differ
ence Of opinion before convention as tc
who shall be nominated, but there are
always plenty Of good men selected, anc
the same will be the case this year
The pops and democrats are certainl,
welcome to what crumbs of comfor'
they may discover.

The official report to Surgeon General
Van Reypen stating that surgical exam
ination proves that the bodies of our
marines who fell in the skirmish at
Guantanamo were not mutilated will be
received with the greatest satisfaction
in this country. The idea that our SOL
diers and sailors we're exposed to the
horrible barbarity which characterized
the warfare of the Middle Ages shocked
the whole land, and filled with specially
deep anxiety the relatives and friends of
men in the service, to whose watching
and suspense for the absent was
thus added a ex~cruciating pang.
1t will be a great relief to all to know
that the enemy in Cuba is not likely to
infect cruelties upon the captured or
infamous indignities upon the dead.

Col. Bryant's eloquent protest against

LAY a characteristic display of the or
ganlc strength and weakness of the dis
tinguished Nebraska leader as a thinker
and reasoner. AS he was seen through
all his remarkable campaign of oratory
in 1886, he still stands forth a glittering
personification of sophistical agility,
imaginative audacity, intellectual OBJ
liquity and verbal ~inaccuracy. Ameri-
can politics have developed no richer
study than he presents for the student
OF psychological anatomy. Mr.. Bryan's
inveterate proclivity and marvellous
genius for false augmentation shine out
in his deliberate postulation that a war
undertaken for humanity will be a be-
trayal OF humanity and and a national
infamy if in prosecution it becomes q

ritories as Cuba, Porto Rico and the
Philippines can be rescued from the desc
latlng crueltles of Spanish dominion

humanity. That method is the com.
plete and permanent su%pplantation of
Spain in these territories. And this
condition is practically unattainable
without forcibIy taking possession of
the islands and holding them, as long as
circumstances demonstrate the Justice
and wisdom Of holding them, for the
substantial promotion ola broad human

The populists and democrats have de-

stated that the contest will be waged on
state issiIless solely but it is difficult to
see what The %fusionis's will have to offer
the voters, considering the record made
by them in office when the deluded
voters Of the state honored them with
elections several years ago. Promises
will hardly catch any suckers this year,
and the fusionists certainly have no
past record to which they can point
with any great degree of pride. 1t will
be impossible for them to substantiate
any charges of misgovernment against
the republicans, for the past state adj
m~inistration has been an excellent one
from every standpoint, and the state is
in excellent condition financially. Its
obligations are promptly met, its debt
has been largely reduced and the ship
of state has sailed smoothly and without
disaster. The fusionists have too many
unfulflled promises and assurances to
account for to ENABLE them to make a
successful campaign. The specter of
silver and wheat will arise to confront
them at every turn, and while they have
decided, and wisely too, to ALLURE any
but state issues in the campaign, they
will be called to account for their
declarations in the last campaign that
wheat ard silver were inseparable in
price, and that one could not rise with
out the other. At the election of '92,
they promised a wise administration of
affairs which should be a credit and
benefit to the state and their tenure of
Office was a bowling farce, a wild scram-
BILE for Office, a bitter fight among the
leaders, open disregard by officials for
the plain requirements of the law, and
finally an immense deficit which the
succeeding republican administration
vas forced to pay. If the fusionists
wage a campaign on state issues solely,
let them not forget the record Of their
one administration of state affairs.

The only question that is settlsd with
regard to the Philippine islands is that
they shall not be given back to Spain.
Her reign there is ended AS to the ulti-
mate disposition OF the islands, whether
they shall be annexed or be made a re-
public with an American protectorate,
the question will have to wait until the
war ends. It is just possible that the
presidential campaign of 1900 will be
waged on the issue of territorial acquisi-
ti0n.

The advocates of 16 to l have re-
peatedly asserted that this republican
administration, especially Secretary
Gage of the treasury, has done and is
doing all in their power to destroy the
value of the silver dollar. The most
emphatic reply to all such nonsense is
found in the circular letter sent out by
the treasury department telling how to
apply for and buy new U. S. war bonds,
towit: The secretary will also receive
in payment for the bonds certificates of
deposit issued by the assistant treasur-
ers Of the United States in the above
named cities. These certificates of de-
post may be obtained from any assist
ant treasurer in exchange for gold coin,
gold certificates, standard sVuer dol
lars, sllrer certificates, United States
notes, treasury notes of 1890, and
national bank notes: and the subscriber
will be credited with the amout of his
subscription as Of the date of the certi-
fcate Of deposit. The secretary will
also receive currency sent by registered
mail or by express direct to the treasury
department" This makes your silver
dollar the equal of the gold dollar.
What more do the silver bugs want? Is
it not about time to admit the wisdom
and liberality of the republican admin
i~stration.

The coming celebration of the Fourth
of July will be memorable. Enough
has already happened during the war to
greatly inspire the national spirit. Other

preparing for a Fourth of exceptional
enthusiasm.

Much depends on General Skaters
campaign in Cuba. And should he
effect the capture of Santiago success
fully, it is possible that he may gain
the lieutenant g%eneralship that is
coveted by General Miles. This is an
honor that is conferred for deeds &C
complished, and the soldiers who have
borne the rank have earned it by hard
work in the field. Shafter has a golden
opportunity.

H most important event of the war,
not III the line of positive achievement,
but in its bearing upon immediate and
decisive results, since the arrival of
Schley's blockading squadron before
the entrance to the bay of Santiago aud
the imprisonment therein of Cervera's
fleet, was the arrival of Skaters army
of invasion on Monday off Santiago.
Just when and where to land this army
has been the subject of serious consul
tation between Gen. Shafter, Admiral
Sampson and the insurgent general,
Garcia. 1t may be some days before
debarkation is accomplished and it is
lntimated that it will be effected in de-
tachments at various points, doubtless
in concert with bodies of the insurgents.
A regiment Or two will probably be de-
tailed to complete the driving away of
all Spanish troops from the near neigh
borhood of the outer harbor of Guanta-
namo. AS to the rest, we must await
events, which will now follow quickly
on the heels of each other, and, fortu-
nately, we shall no longer have to wait
tw%enty-four hours for news of what
occurs at Santiago. For the cable at
Guantanamo is now exclusively in our
hands and in full operation, so that we
shall learn from day to day what is 60
ing on nearly az soon as it transpires.

FACTS VS.. CLEVELAND AND
BRYAN.

The first American ~annexationist was
Thomas jefferson, a democrat, under
whose administration Louisiana was adj
ded to the United States 1903. Under
he administration of James Monroe,
another democrat, we acquired Florida
in 1919: under James Polk, democrat,
Texas and the Mexican cession in 1915
and ISIS respectively; under Franklin
Pierce, democrat, the Gadsden purchase
in 1858
In half century, and in each instance
under a democratic administration,
there was added to the original S27,SA4
square miles of the United States ter
ritory PISS, $50 square miles.
The Alaskan purchase of ST., 800
square miles was made during the al
ministration Of President johnson, who
was elected as a republican, but who
was democrat.
In view of these facts neither Mr..
Cleveland OF Colonel Bryan Can claim
that the annexation of Hawaii and the
proposed retention of Spanish colonies
captured during the wal are undemo-
cratic when almost two-thirds of the
present area of the United States was
acquired by annexation, by purchase
and by war, and with one exception
under democratic administrations.
The attitude of these leaders of the
democratic factions is thoroughly un.
democratic, and is a departure from the
traditional policy of the country and of
the party to which they belong.
