Spain Then and Now.

IN 1896 a small fraction more than
nall our population insisted, and an.
peared to believe, that every gold.
standard country was highly civilized,
intelligent, progressive, honest and
prosperous, while the silver or bime-
tallic countries were poor, semi.ciyil.
lied, ignorant, non progressive, pow.
erty stricken, and several other unde.
slrable things. But now Spain is
Ignorant, barbarous, poor, without
credit, in great financial straits, her
people taxed to death, and vet Spain
Is a gold standard country! Spain is,
without doubt, all that is asserted of
her, and is a frightful example of
what a country may be under the
gold-standard, as Mexico is said to be
under the silver standard.-Farm.

OUR CANDIDATE IN 1900
Places for "Aristocrats. I"

President Mckinley has offered
Woodford generals position and
Woodford has declined to accept the
offer.
In this declination Woodford has
performed the first real service for his
country since the present administra-
tion sent him to Madrid to misrepre-
sent the people of the United States.
Rnt 1t is feared that the young sons
OF famous rathArs whom Mckinley
has selected to lead troops In the field
will not prove their patriotism as
thoroughly us has Woodford.
Army officers who have given all
The years of their lives to the study of
their profession are grumbling be.
cause the president has chosen young
Frank Alger, juvenile Jane 6. Blaine,
inexperienced w. B. Allison, Million
alre John Jacob Astor and unimport-
ant A. g. Gray, John A. Hull and E.
j. Hill to fill important places in the
army.
OF course, the "best business inter
ests" must be recognized by Mckinley
for he is creation of plutocracy, and
gratitude to his creators is a strong
trait in William McKinley's charac-
ter. But what are the upper middle
classes going to get?
1t goes without saying that the
lower middle classes" or "peasantry',
will not be noticed. They are useful
when political contest is in progress;
their votes are desired, but they do
not occupy position in ssociety"
high enough to command recognition
from the ''aristocracy."
Those who voted to put the repub-
lican party in power should not
object, but the officers Of the army
who have earned promotion and who
see civilians placed over their heads
are growing, and they have right
to growl.-Chicago Dispatch.

War News Twice a Week.

The fact that the Omaha Weekly
World Herald is issued twice a week
gives 1t an immense advantage over
other weekly papers sent out from
Omaha. A subscriber to the Weekly
World-Herald get his war news twice
a week instead Of only once. For
TINS service the World Herald
charges only $1.O0 year, which is
less than one cent a copy.

Patriotism does not consist of fall
ling in with every nefarious financia!
or taxing scheme that is put forward
by designing politicians under the
guise of patriotism. The truest pat
riot is the one who forgets self in his
desire to stand up for the common
good. The plan to issue war bonds
was conceived in the brains of men
who invariably consider their own
selfish interests while pretending to
be doing the best for the country.

ORIGIN OF MILITARY TITLES.
Captain Is From the Latin and Colo
mel From the Spanish.

From the st. Louis Star.
To begin with the military unit. private
is an adjective that has become a noun.
Originally the man IN the ranks was
private soldier. The word soldier has been
dropped for brevity's sake, and now the
man with the gun is simply a private
The rank and file is what the private
belongs 10. A rank is a line OF men
standing side by side; file is line OF
men standing one behind another. The
front of file is always one man, ats depth
may be any number. When men are
formed into two ranks a file consists OF
two men. The rank and file, therefore,
constitute the body of a force of soldiery.
The title Of the lowest non-commission-
ed officer Is a corporal He has churge
OF a squad, posts and relieves sentres,
and has certain disciplinary control In
camp and barracks. Sergeant (Which is
properly pronounced sarjenO is appoint
ed 10 preserve discipline, teach the drill,
command attachments Of escorts and the
like
The lowest grade of commissioned off,
Ger Is lieutenant and the title comes
from the French lieu, place. and tenant
from the Latin tenens, holding. A lieu
tenant therefore, Is one who holds or
supplies the place of his superior in the
performance Of any duty or in his alb
sence. ana consequently the officer Is one
who acts for his captain. In England the
word IS pronounced ACCOMMODATIONS
~ a corruption Of the French pronuncla-
tion.
The title Of captain applied TO the COM
mander Of u company, - from the Latin
