Bill Nall Killed.

Today at about 1p. m, Deputy
Marshal Cobson, Alberty and
Banks arrived in town with a
wagon having in it the dead body
of Bill Nail, one of the Nose
Miller gang, and supposed to
be the man who killed Taylor
at Melvin a few days ago. The
posse came upon Nail about
three miles from Garfield. on
Greenleaf creek, in the Chero-
kee nation. early this morning.
Nail had got separated from
the rest of the gang. and when
called on b. Dobson to surren-
der he answered with a shot.
Immediately both Dobson and
Alberty returned the fire. Two
shots took effect, Nail falling
mortally wounded. and dying in
a few minutes. Neither of the
possemen were hurt.
Nail looks to be q or % years
old. is supposed to be of mixed
blood. though some say he is a
white man. His hair is black
and very curley. His body was
turned over to the marshal and
placed inside the jail to await
burial Saturday Muskogee

A GREAT deal of the unhappi
ness and much of the vice of
the world is owing to weakness
and indecision of purpose-in
other words. lack of moral
courage. Life is made up. not
of great sacrifices or duties,
but of little things in which
smiles and kindnesses and
small obligations given habitu-
ally are what preserve the heart
and secure comfort.

GENERAL AGUINALDO has writ
ten a letter to Consul General
Wildman that proves him no
fool. He says the interest of
his people are just as sacred to
him as the interests of the
Americans are to the consul,
and before the Americans can
expect him to outline his policy
present and future, they must
be frank with MIN and tell him
whether they propose annexa-
ton, protection or independ-
ence of the Philippines. This
is a fair proposition. 1t is
statesmanlike and to the point.
He simply wants to know what
to expect of the Americans.

which Blanco made known to
the Spanish people of Cuba that
Spain. through the intervention
of foreign powers. had been
forced to the diegraceful issue
of suing for peace and that
there would be no more war and
no further use for soldiers.
He offered pardon to all
Cuban political prisoners and
more than 150 were released in
Havana.
Havana, he says, will be given
over to Americans and Cubans
and the Spaniards will be forced
to evacuate.
Blanco assures the soldiers and
all Spanish residents who wish
to return to Spain or go to
other Spanish possessions that
they will get free Transports

country, to their destination
and protected from interference
on the part of either Cubans OF

that no unkind feelings be cher

4 DEMOCRATIC WAR.

be remember ed that this is a
Democratic war. Mr.. Mckinley
was opposed to war. Mr.. Nc
Kinley's cabinet officers. with
possibly two exceptions. were
opposed to war, and one OF
them resigned because the
president manifested a disposi-
ton to yield to public sentl
ment. Mr.. Reed was opposed
to war, and used his influence
and power to muzzle the house
of representatives. General
Grosvenor. the presidents spe-
cial representative In the house,
was savage in his denunciatlons
of our Democratic representa-
tives, who were daily insisting
that our government should
end the horrors in Cuba. Mr..
Hanna was violently opposed
to war. going 50 far as to in
duce commercial bodies through
out the country to petition
against it. All, or nearly all,
the potent influences about the
president we're opposed to a
declaration of war. No decla-
ration of war would have been
made if public sentiment had
not extorted it from these high
Republican officials at Wash
ington, and that public sentl-
ment was intensified. if not
created, by the constant clamor
of our Democratic senators and
representatives. The war was
really inaugurated by Demo
Gratis. or at least was the result
of Democratic insistence.
but for what did we urge a
declaration of warl For what
did we force the administration
to cross swords with Spain7
Was it done merely out of a
spirit of knight-errantry4 Was
it merely to provoke a senti
mental tragedy without a def
mite purpose, or without the
hope of any substantial benefit
to our own country whose brave
lads were to die in the struggle!
The Cubans themselves were
not asking US for armed inter
vention. What they asked for
was recognition as a belligerent
power. that they might enjoy
the privileges and immunities
of belligerents. Ii that only
were done they declared them
selves abundantly able, without
foreign assistance. to drive
every Spaniard from the island
and win their own independ-
ence. Whether they were over
confident or too boastful does
not matter. They did not ask
for recognition. But there were
reasons of our own for inter
vention. For years a war more
characteristic of barbarians
than of civilized people had
been raging almost in sight of
our frontier. AS a consequence
of this war the personal and
property rights of American
citizens were being trampled
upon, and the great commercial
interests of the republic seri-
ously injured. And this savage
war was being waged by a Eu-
ropean nation on American
territory and against an Ameri-
can people to uphold by mere
force of arms a technical soy
ereignty out of harmony with
our American ideas and odious
to the native population. For
these reasons we were justified
in interfering on our own ac-
count, without asking leave of
anybody.
But it is inconceivable that
we should declare war, with
just cause, and prosecute it at
the sacrifice of hundreds of
