REPUBLICAN ORGANIZATION.
Preparations for the Campaign of
1900 to Immediately Begin.

CLEVELAND, Nov. 15.-The Repub-
Gcan national headquarters, according
to Secretary Charles F. Dick, will be
opened in Washington as soon as Con-
gress convenes, and preparations for
the campaign of 1900 will go forward
rapidly. Discussing the subject, Colo
mel Dick said:
THE national Republican headquar-
ters will be opened by the time Con-
gress convenes, and will continue until
after the Presidential election in 1900.
We will go on in keeping touch with
our different State and district organi-
cations, and keep them together. Our
idea is to always have them in good
working order, ready for any kind of
work, and not to depend upon organiza-
t1on at the last moment. The day after
the nomination for President we shall
have literature to send out. IT was af-

RUMORS OF WAR.

| A century ago the civilized world
was one vast military camp and hos
tile ornaments confronted each other
in bloody strife on land and sea. The
mighty upheaval of the French revo-
luton shook the world. Millions of
men and billions OF treasure were
wasted in settling the worlds peace.
There have been furious wars since
then but none that involved or seem
ed at any time likely to involve all
chriStendom.
But again on the threshold of a new
era, the warlike propenSitieS of men
seem to point to another readjust-
ment of the world by the sword.
1t is hardly likely that the present
conflict between the United States
and Spain will be given prominent
place in history by the future his
torian unless it precipitates the APP
preaching crisis in the words affairs.
For years the great European ma
tions have been straining every nerve
for the conflict which far seeing
statesmen have supposed to be CON-
ing. Poets and soothsayers for ages
have prophesied the coming of day
when men should beat their swords
into plowshares and their spears into
pruning hooks but no important ma
ton seems inclined to take the lead
in that much to be desired Utopia, in
fact the most advanced peoples are
strengthening their resources and
preparing themselves for such awful
No one can say what may happen
but it is very probable that it will DE
that which is least expected.
Russia is determined to force a foot
hold in eastern Asia, and China viii
disappear from the map as Poland did
a hundred and fifty years ago.
The ancient conflict between
France and Great l ritair, after a
lapse of eighty-three years, is to be
revived to settle the disposition OF
Africa as Wolfe and Montcalm settled
the disposition of North America on
the Plains of Abraham.
The all-powerful German empire
founded by the genius of the man of
blood and iron is ruled by a giGdy
youth whose head is turned by the
magnitude of the sceptre he sways,
and who seems to be spelling for
conflict of any sort and with anybody.
His sole aim seems to be to test tie
strength of his legions and to dupli-
cate the proves of the Hohnzollrens
of the past.
Austria treasures a grudge against
the United States for the inglorious
end of Macmillan in Mexico and is
prompted by the ties of kinship to
strengthen the hands of Spain.
Italy is even now in the throes of
another revolution and the peppery
Spanish American republics of the
south are hurting ultimatums at each
other. Japan has taken on the ways
and fashions of what are called s'civil-
lied" powers and chafes to CLEAN other
laurels to add to its new history.
No doubt the outcome of it all will
be that true civilization will rise by
leaps and bounds after these wars
have spent themselves, for s'civiliza-
tion does get for'ard somehow upon
the powder cart" but the near future
is fraught with tremendous probabili-
ties and history will be rapidly made
The philosopher views all this with
calmness and regret, and quietly but
firmly asserts that nature cares abso-
lutely nothing for individuals but
everything for the race.
