GIVES THE DEAL AWAY

@The Elko INDEPENDENTLY heretofore
the staunchest Democratic paper III
Elko county, has gone over to the
enemy, and is now openly support
ing the Silver party ticket"
Review.
at has been charged that one wing
of the Democratic party in this State is
leaged with the Republicans to defeat
theSilver men. The above indicates
that the charge is we'll founded. The
Democratic faction referred to SEEM
ingly looks upou the gold men as
friends and regard the silver men as
enemies Reno journal. o..
The Journal builds mighty big
house on very slim foundation.
The INDEPENDENT has not gone over
to the enemy and is not allied with
the gold-bug wing of the party il any
there be in this State. 1t stands
where it has always stood, an advocate
of Democracy and the restoration of
silver to it's former place as {, money
metal at the old time ratio of 16 to l.
The charge contained in the clip
ping from the Times Review has no
other foundation except that the IN
DEPENDENT has declared in favor Of
the reelection OF Senator Stewart.
The charge that it Is openly support
ing the Silver Party ticket was in
tended by it's writer to convey the i'm
preston that the Silver Party State
ticket was receiving the support of
the INDEPENDENT and upon that the
Journal builds its house of cards.
The covert insinuatlon Of the Times
Review needs no denial from the In.
DEPENDENT. 1t is giving a loyal sup
port to the Democratic State ticket
as nominated by the State conven-
ton. If the Silver Party papers can
extract any comfort from this they
are welcome to it. - SO

The fact that this government plunged
INTO war without being at all prepared
for a long and stubborn conflict, recalls
to the New York Evening Post, by way
of contrast, story told of Won Moltke
in 1870. When the war against France
was declare, staff officer brought him
the news and woke him up 10 receive
it at two in the morning. He simply
said, "The first portfolio in the second
drawer OF my table," and then promptly
turned over and went to sleep again.
This portfolio contained all the in
itructions that were necessary for what
Ia called in military technology the
"dislocation" of the army, go ready
was everything in every department
The movement of every regiment and
division and corps was provided for.
The route OF every commander was
marked out. BY the time Moltke had
risen and dressed. tho mighty host was
marching. with the precision of the
most deadly sciences, to that astonish-
ing series of victoriea which in two
months had laid France at Bismarck q
feet. The army, too. was ready from
cap to shoev. This is what military
men in our day call preparation for
war;" II took years to make.

In the great naval engagement near
Manila, on Sunday, Admiral Dewey,
in command of the American squadron,
gained decisive victory. 1t is conf
IDENTIFY expected, although tnn details
are not yet at hand. that by this time
he bias bomharded and conquered tue
town OF Manila, and is virtually in con-
troll of tho Philippine Islands.
This signal triumph of the American
naval forces in the first real combat Of
tho war ought &c prove forcefnl object
Lesson to the government of Spain, and
result in q speedy cessation OF hostli
ties. 1t has shown to the rest of the
world, at least the Spanish authori-
ties ought to be able to SEQ with equal
clearness-that Spain ia no match for
the United States in armed conflict. 1t
was not expected that she would be.
Notwithstanding the folly of the Span.
ish people in accepting the gage of bat
tie; for conflict between nation OF
IL, 900, 600 people, represented by a
government Impoverished and ront by
internal dissensions, cannot begin TO
hold out in armed conflict with nation
of 1000, 900 people, practically united
10 policy, and with credit and resources
unsurpassed by those of any other
nation in the world. Such an unaquul
encounter can have but one ending.
Spain should, therefore, loarn from
the Manila incidsnt that it will be
simply folly and useless expenditure
IF blood and money, to longer continue
the war. She is bound to loas Cuba in
the end, and it will bs infinitely better
in every respect to give in gracefully
before more wat vessels have been
destroyed, more money wasted and more
human lives sacrificed.
The hand OF destiny now points to
free Cuba, anu the sooner the people of
that island are permitted to enter upon
their experiment of seli-govefnmsrt,
the better it will be. To prolong the
pending struggle until Spain is first
driven from Cubu by force Of arms,
after stubborn resistance, will only
make things worse. The conquest Of
the island will open the issue OF posses
siou and control by the United States,
anu the annexation schemurs will
eagerly seize upon any protaxt to ad-
vance their ends. A peaceful surrender
BY Spain, and REIMBURSEMENT of her
sovereignty in favor of the residents Of
the island, will leave the problem OF
government solely in the hands of the
latter, and there will be no pretext for
interference by the government of tho
United States.
One by ons Spain has lost her once
great possessions in America, until
Cuba alone is left. 1t is fatsd that she
must now lose that fair island also, and
that If not peacefully surrendered it
will be forcibly wrested from her. The
lesson of Manila ought to impress upon
her the futility of further resistance,
and induce an acceptance of the in
evitable. 1t will be best for Spain in
the end.
