WE give up a good deal of space
this week to an article from the
vigorous pen of ''W. E. K.,' an
occasional contribution to the
"Journal." The writer makes a
stirring appeal to the Republican
voters to stand by their verdict of
1896, showing that unless this is
done the shadow of national dis
honor will again menace the fair
record of the American people in
1900. Our correspondent is yet a
very young man, but possesses an
intellect far above that of the aver
age youth of to-day, and what he
writes is always well worth read
ing.

STAND BY THE 6. O. p.

In these apprehcnsive times when
the clouds of war are lowering
over the land and conflict with
foreign power seems inevitable.
the public mind, which never lacks
patriotism and confidence in the
government when danger threat
ems, is quite naturally absorbed in
the overshadowing question of the
day-''War with Spain;'' but there
are other issues which portcnd al
most as great a national calamity
as would be a conflict with a for
cign power, which, if wrongly set
tied, means not the prosperous car
rying on of war, if it comes, until it
ends in blaze of triumph and
glory for Columbia, but the down
fall of the splendid prosperity that
the bcncfccnce of Republican poll
cics has again restored, the begin
ming of another period Of industrial
retrogression and the reproduction
of the well remembered scenes of
Clevcland's famous reign Of adver-
sity.
1t is we'll in the enthusiasm
which the probability of call to
arms to protect the nations banner
inspires, to remember these other
dangers. The enthronement of a
Reputation regime in the chair of
the state and congressional halls
would strike a deadlier blow at our
industries than any that could re-
suit from a conflict with Spain.
The effects of such a blow would
be lasting. The country's recuper-
alton from the depression caused
by war would be rapid, but it
would be very slow in recovering
from this, for it would destroy the
peoples confidence in the honor
and integrity Of the government,
and it would be with shame and
disgust that the world would be-
hold the spectacle Of nation that
leads all in enterprise and civiliza-
ton, to which the oppressed from
ever corner Of the globe look as
the embodiment of those glorious
principles of liberty and justice
which they cherish in their hearts
while in bondage and die for in
battle, evading the honest discharge
Of its obligations by the round
about way of depreciating the
value of its currency. Such an
event would make a dark page in
our history that time would never
erase. Future generations would
read the record and wonder how,
with a past rcsplendent with noble
achievements. their ancestors ever
stopped so low as to execute such a
pitiful, grasping, mercenary
scheme.
With the possibilities of such a
calamity in view,- now is time for

both thought and action. The elec-
tions of this year will, to a great ex-
tent, forcbode the result in 1900.
Thepartyth that wins in this campaign
will enter the fight for the presiden-
cy with high hope Of success, and if
the national honor is to be kept in
tact and our currency unbiased,
Republicans must everywhere be
awake to the magnitude of the re-
sponsibility that rests on their
shoulders. The opposition is rapid
ly getting in line for the fray and it
is time for the party that stands for
the preservation of Americas fair
fame to be getting in shape for de-
fensc. 1t has fulfilled its promises
made in the last campaign, so let
its adherents stand together and
keep the pendulum of administra-
ton from swinging in 1900 to the
side of reputation. Let the voter
who is patriotic in time of ap-
preaching conflict show similar
devotion to his country at the bal
lot box by upholding the principles
that rebound to the reviving and
permanent advancement of its in
dustrics.
1t is true that our Democratic
friends claim there is no prosperi-
ty. They have been making such
declarations all the time. They
seem to have thought that the i'll

management would pass away.

WAR NEWS.

The President sent his expected
message on the Cuban question to
Congress Monday. He declares
that ''in the name Of humanity the
war must stop" and requests
authority from Congress to use the
army and navy to end hostilities.
He makes an argument against
granting recognition Of Cuban in
dependence at present. 1t now
rests with Congress what further
steps shall be taken towards armed
intervention.
1t is evident that the crisis is now
at hand; that this government must
act or back down. The RESPONSE
bility now rests with Congress.
1t is anticipated, however, that
both Senate and House will act at
once.
Spain, although she has ordered
an armistice in Cuba, shows no
signs of rcceding from her position
as regards her controversy with
the United States.
General Lee has left Cuba and
is now at Washington. He appar-
emily believes that war will soon
come.
The committees on foreign rela-
tions in both Senate and House.
will probably send in theiarcports
today wednesday,. The committee
reports will favor resolution call
ing for armed intervention in Cuba
and recognition of its indcpepen-
dencc by this government.

Manila, May 1, 1S9( Dear Charles: The devil is to pay. As the McCnlloch has been de- layed in her start for Hong Kong, 1 thought I would add to my letter. The rebels have been bucking the Spanish Gov ernment i'll the Philippines for q number of years, and now that we have put their navy out of commission and demor- alised them, the rebels are sweeping down on the Span iards and kiIIiug them like sheep They have been fight ing back in the hills for the past two days, and the rebels are sweeping things before them and working in on Manila This morning the Spanish off clals called on Dewey for pro- lection, and he dispatched sev- en companies of marines and two battalions with gatling guns. Matters are serious in Manila, as there are some five thousand soldiers and citizens with only about four d"ys' pro visions. The Petrel this morn ing landed another vessel-the Spoke, torpedo boat. We have Old Glory floating over her. We have landed many new anu queer craft We have also destroyed some S20,- 100000 worth of property. All guns at ail forts have been put out of commission. We made the Spanish soldiers assist us in the work. They didn't en- joy 1t worth a cent. When we left Hon Kong people were bet ting we would not get past the first forts-odds something like $500 to S1O0. We have not had news from the States since April 24 The. Commodore (Dewey) is posted, l suppose, but that don't do us fellows any good, for he seems to be darn stlngy with matters which would interest us. But then we are for Dewey.

 The interest on registered bonds is paid by the Govern ment by means of checks. In order that no mistake may be made in the payment ot inter est, the books of the Depart ment are "closed" for a period, varying according to the i'm portance of the loan. The books of the four per cent loan of 1907 are closed for the whole month preceding the payment of a quarters interest On other loans the books are clos ed for fifteen days preceding the interest payment. During this period no transfers are made, ana the time is devoted to preparing "schedules" which contain tie names of the owners, the amount of bonds each one holds, and the amount Jf interest due each one. When these schedules have been prepared and proved, they are sent to the Treasurer ot the United States, who i'm mediatelY has checks and en- velopes addressed, and in due time each check is mailed to the address Of its owner. The checks for the more distant points are first mailed. Inter est checks are obligations of the United States, and, of course, are good everywhere.

 The war loan which is now being offered will be sold to subscribers at par during the period of subscription, winch ends July 14, 1898 The method of subscription has been made as simple as possi ble.

The subscriber may himself mail to the Treasury Depart ment at Washington the blank form filled out, together with his remittance covering tue par value of the amount of bonds for which he wishes 10 subscribe. That remittance may be in whatever form best suits the subscribers conven- ience-in currency, bank draft, check, post office money order, or express money order. The day the currency is received, or the day the proceeds are re ceived from the checks, drafts, pr money orders, the saoscrip ton will be entered and will immediately begin drawing ln- terest. When the bonds ale delivered, a check will accom- pany each delivery covering the interest at 3 per cent from the day the subscription is en tered to tle 1st of August, the date of the bonds, and from which date the bonds will carry Iheir own interest.
