THE URGENT NEED.

We can build ships as cheaply in the
States as they are built in Great
Britain. but we must have them to
build in similar quantities in order to
this.
What this country needs is a law
that will make it as profitable for an
American to put his capital into an
American built ship for the foreign
trade as it e was for him to put his
money into n railroad or into any
other great protected and prosperous
American industry. To do that the
nation must recognize that there are
two distinct and different standards,
the American and the foreign. To
maintain our own standard of wages
and of living a preference must be Gre
ated for the American ship sufficient tc
enable its owner to employ native OF
naturaliZed citizens of the United
States to run them and they must be
fed in a manne that is not degrading
to that citizenship. This is impos-
sible without any national legislation.

THE WEALTH OF CUBA.

If Uncle Sam should, in the interest
Of humanity, add Cuba to his domain,
it would almost double his wealth.
With Cuba under a stable government
and fully cultivated, Uncle Sam would
soon control the worlds markets for
four great staples-tobacco. sugar,
coffee and rice. 1t seems a shame to
abandon this rich island to an alien
race. 1t is a greater shame for a man
to abandon his stomach to the ravages
OF disease. To strengthen the stom-
ach take Hostetter's Stomach Bitters.
1t is just the thing to stimulate the ap-
petite. 1t will overcome dyspepsia. II
there is constipation it will establish
regularity Of the bowels. 1t makes the
nerves strong and steady, and gives
restful slumber. There Is no substitute
for it.

STICKS TO HIS FRIENDSHIP.

Laramie has an old soldier that
ought to have a gold medal-nit-for
his obstinacy. During the Harrison
administration he was awarded a pen
sion and subsequently, under the
Cleveland administration it was taken
away from him. Again. under the Nc
Kinley administration it vas restored.
He voted against Harrison in 1883, he
voted for Cleveland in 1892. he voted
for Bryan in 1896 and cast a straight
democratic ticket this year. If this old
soldier is voting as he shot, he didn't
hit the enemy very often.

Geography is not only one OF the
most interesting studies, but one of the
most important as well. 1t is not of
value to the student alone, but to every
man n woman who wishes to keep
in touch with the happenings of the
great world about them. The news
from distant parts OF the earth, which
is brought to the breakfast table every
morning, is much Of it little better
than Greek to the person who is I'M
familiar with geography. In fact the
stirring events OF the world compel
those who desire to have the correct
knowledge of them to be daily students
Of this important branch of education.
This truth is apparent to anyone who
has tried to follow the course of our
war with Spain. Before Admiral Dew
ey's victory how many people knew the
location of Manila and the Philippine
islands? The Cape Verde islands,
where the Spanish fleet modified, and
the Dry Tortugas where our own feet
collected, preparatory to the search
for Cervera and the bombardment OF
Santiago de Cuba, are o familiar
names.
During the past year we have had in
teresting news from Alaska, Armenia,
Japan, China, India, Greece and Tur-
key. In these %troublous times; a
knowledge OF the geographical forma-
ton OF the countries of the globe, their
colonies, and the location Of the CHIEF
towns and rivers Is indispensable to
one who would read his daily paper In
diligently.
Approaching the great usefulness of
accurate and clear maps in studying
the various phases OF the war, The Re-
publican has arranged with Rand, Nc
Nally & Co., Of Chicago, for the new
Standard War Atlas. The Atlas con-
tains sixteen pages of the latest and
best war maps published, comprising
four double-page maps (21x2S inches)
OF the World, North America, Europe
and Oceania, and seven full-page maps
Q4x21 inches) of Cuba, the West In
dies, South America, China, Spain and
Portugal, Asia, Africa and the Philip
pine and Hawaiian islands. Enlarged
sections show ports Matanzas, Santi-
ago de Cuba, San Juan and Cienfue-
COS; also Cardenas and Santa Clara
bays. They are beautifully printed on
heavy map paper, and bound in an at
t~ractive paper
This atlas should not be %confounded
with the numerous cheap aliases sold
at the stores. 1t is entirely new, and
can be obtained only from The Re-
publican or its regular agents.
Every reader is recommended to
procure n at once, and thus be able
to watch the strategic movements of
our army and navy from the vantage
point Of knowledge.
The Atlas will be given free with each
prepaid six months subscription to the
Daily Republican, or will be sold for
so cents per copy.

James Creek Canal.

1t is to be seen from the figures SUBJ
mitted to Chairman Mcmillan of the Senate
District committee by Commissioner Black
i'll regard to the project of remedying the
James Creek canal nuisance that the work
Is large one and will not be diminished
by procrastination. Indeed, 1t will almost
surely increase in the burdens 1t will i'm
pose on the government and the District
James Creek canal IT will plainly be seen
from these statistics and facts now in the
possession Of the District committee. is no
mere nor less than an open sewer, draining
$500 acres of land, most of which is thickly
inhabited. Each year adds to the amount
of foul matter that is thus DISCHARGED from
the trunk and branch sewers into the canal
and the ratio of danger to the public
health rises in alarmingly increasing
scale The only feasible method of treat
ing the canal seems to be to fill it COM
pletely, to obliterate it from the local map
and to find other means of disposing of
the sewage that now finds it's sluggish and
pestilential way through it to the Eastern
bI anch.
To accomplish this result will require
heavy expenditure, for 1T means the con-
struction of several large sewers with ap-
propriate connections. The estimate is that
the total amount required for the full pur-
pose will be 81, sos, $50. The money, how
ever. may be considered as an investment
on the general project Of providing an ade-
quate sewage disposal plant for the capital,
such as 1t has long needed, and without
which 1t cannot hope to remain for many
more years wholesome. healthful COM
munity. Indeed, the obliteration of the
canal IS one of the essential features of
10 he
postponement as does not contemplate its
comparatively early achievement for the
events Of the past few years have clearly
shown that there is grave danger in pro-
crastination in this field of the public
health. The sewage disposal plans must
be carried into execution, and at the earli-
est possible date compatible with the condi-
ton of the public treasury.
In view of the fact that the plea of econ
omy may be perpetually raised against the
attack of this project upon a broad and
business-like scale and likewise in view of
their inability to raise in a lump all the
money that would be required from them
for this purpose. the citizens Of the District
have proposed to bond themselves to the
requisite amount for the purpose Of accom-
plishing the beneficent results Of this pro-
ject within a reasonable period. This prop
osition Is now before the public authorities
and Will be among the measures called d.
rectly to the attention of Congress at this
session. No more fitting introduction to ITS
exigencies could be found than the urgent
need of immediate action looking to the
eradication Of James Creek canal from the
local map.
This work would make an excellent be-
ginning for the accomplishment of the gem
erai sewage disposal plan. II Congress pre-
fers to make Roadway along these lines by

4 Resignation No Shelter.

What does it matter whether the resig-
nation of Senor de LONE reached the Mad
rid authorities an hour or so earlier than
the deman nd of this government for his
recall except to emphasize in the light of
all the facts Spain's duty in the premises?
The real question is in no sense technical?
Suppose Spain did act Immediately upon
the minister's request to be relieved of his
pcst here. That does not change in any
sense the nature of his offense nor relieve
Spain of responsibility for his conduct
while he still in her service. His
very haste to shelter himself behind a
resignation is bus an additional revela-
ton of the tricky character of the
nan. Having offended in the grossest way
against propriety ard good faith he runs
for cover at the first sign Of the conse-
auenees- Let me out of this Immediate
ly.'' he asks by cable. He got out, but
Spain herself stands in his place.
Nor does it Inatter to this government
about Senior de Lome's future. That is
something with which this government has
nothing to do. 1t is for Spain to determine
his fitness for another assignment His
abuse of the President and the American
people has probably additionally endeared
him to many of his countrymen. He has
but uttered their thoughts, and, If oppor
tunity offers, reward of some kind after
time may be bestowed upon him. That
is for the future The business at present
relates to Spain's responsibility for an ac
credited agent whom she cannot shield or
defend in the matter of an offense against
us and nope to retain pleasant relations
with US.
The matter has the most direct connec
ton with the sending Of a Few minister
here. The United States will be called upon
TO receive the official with due cere-
mony as the repre- sentative of a power
with which We are at peace. He will pre-
sent letter of credit, ard in doing SO will
express the respect of his sovereign for
the President and desire on the part of
the Spanish government for continuation
of friendly relations with the United States.
This makes it imperative therefore that
Spain shall disavow the utterance of the
former representative, who, over his own
signature, characterized the President as
"a low politician" and admitted that his
own performances at this capital her
representative had been socketted in fraud
and deception Spain should by all means
start her rev man fairly, and commend
him without reserve to our unqualified ac-
Ceptance.

Autonomy and Reciprocity.

There is demand that Senior Sagasta for
mally repudiate Senior de Lome's declara-
tons as to autonomy and reciprocity. Sup
pose he does Suppose he insists that Spain
is in earnest with regard to both PROPOSE
tons. Should that control our future course
in the premises?
Senior de LONE only admitted what was
already very apparent to many people
Autonomy. intended to deceive the insur-
gents, had failed of its purpose. The in
surgents promptly refused it, and in doing
so exposed its hollowness. The scheme has
had no credit in this country since then
Why should Senior Sagastas bare state
ment be sufficient to give it credit? AS for
reciprocity, which was brought forward to
deceive this government. that is humbug on
its very face. Trade with Cuba has been
ruined. Only a small fraction of what was
once so desirable remains. Why talk about
trade relations long as the war contin-
ues? Until peace reigns in Cuba, and the
people have had time to get on their feet
again, the island will have nothing to offer
in the way of reciprocal business arrange
ments.
TIE United States cannot afford to be
nisled in this business. Senior Sagasta has
an exceedingly difficult part to play and
he can command. 1t has befalen few
statesmen of his class to be so embarrassed
as he has been by an act of supreme folly
on the part CT leading lieutenant. Auton-
omy and reciprocity are both the sugges-
lions of Senior de LONE and he has con-
fessed over his own signature that so far
as he is concerned both are frauds intended
for effect. That of itself destroys both
propositions Senior Sagasta may be never
SO much in earnest himself, never so will
ing to go on with the propositions in good
faith. The truth remains that there is
nothing tangible in either proposition. Both
were conceived and brought forth in fraud,
and not all the power the Spanish premier
possesses, even if exerted in the best of
faith, is sufficient to make them effective.
1t is not autonomy but independence that
the insurgents want. Autonomy will not
stop the in Cuba. Nothing is more
certain than that. Why then should there
be any further discussion of the subject so
far as the United States is concerned?
What the United States desires is peace for
Cuba. How then may peace be secured?
BY the side of that question Senior Sagas-
ta's sincerity as to impossiblities is of no
consequence whatever
