War between France and England
seems inevitable. French papers claim
it is the settled purpose Of England to
force France into war. France no
sooner grants demand than England
makes another. Johnny Bull has grown

Another Bonanza.

From all accounts another big min
ing excitement is destined to result
from discovery of rich find in this
county. II one of the reports circu-
lated is true, fabulously rich discov-
cry has been made and undoubtedly
a bodanza equal to the famous Com
monwealth mine at Pierce which has
astonished the mining world with its
richness, has been found.
The discoverer, Mr. Joe Gardner, a
we'll known Tombatoner, made the
lucky strike, which is located in the
Gray mountains about 20 miles from
Wilcox. The rock is almost the exact
counterpart Of the rich Comm
ores, and assays give from 1000 to 1909
ounces OF silver besides carrying from
10 to Is ounces gold per ton. The re-
port and assays created great excite
mont and a rush Of prospectors to the
new Eldorado followed resulting IN
the entire county being staked off.
It was learned here later that repre-
sentatives Of the Commonwealth Co. at
Pierce went to the discovery and sue
ceeded in securing an option or bond
on three of the claims at good figure.

The rumor that the Philippine group
of Islands is for sale to the highest
bidder, puts still uglier aspect on the
recent war with Spain, and makes it
look still more like one of conquest,
rather than for humanity's sake. Sell

considerably like revival of the slave
trade on a grand scale.

National Issues Paramount.

National issues are paramount this
year. 1t is not more possible to con-
duct state election now without re-
gard to national issues than it was pos
sible to so conduct one in 1861 or 1863.
AS it was then, so it now is, the in
terests Of the nation as a whole are
of vital absorbing interest to each cit
izen. Then. as now, the Republican
party was forced to find new issues,
To confront new problems. Then, as
now, it was forced not to follow, but
to make precedents. In 1861 we had
to preserve the republic for it's great
destiny; in 1898 We have to take a
long stride toward the accomplishment
of that destiny. The Republican par
ty. therefore, i'm its state platforms,
does well to reiterate the promises un-
der which it was possible to elect a
Republican president; pledges which
made it possible TO restore prosperity
TO our country and put the nation
where 1t is possible to work out the
glorious future which is now before
reunited nation. The issues for hon
est money, for protection to American
industry, for the upbuilding of a mer-
chant marine adequate to carry the
commerce of the world and to form a
naval militia in times OF war, are as
vital this year as they We're in the
great contest which was so success
fully fought in 1896. We must further
strengthen our navy and build up our
army, so that they may be equal 10
any demand made upon them to work
out our destiny. Hawaii and Porto
Rico are ours. and In the East and
West Indies the interests of the ma
tion shall be safeguarded. Republi-
cans everywhere should uphold the ad-
ministration of President Mckinley by
standing loyalty by their party nomin-
ees Colonel Theodore Roosevelt

WAR EXPERIENCES.
Editor of The Tribune.

Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: For some months | have been
reading the newspaper criticism on the
treatment of the soldier during the war
with Spain. That there has been a great
deal of suffering is beyond question, due
in large measure to the ineXperience of
the officers, and not to their vicious dis
position, as one would think from the
tone of some of the critics. When man
rs suddenly called to take charge of and
manage "A business in civil life of which
ne has no knowledge, he is bound to
make more or fewer mistakes and a pru-
dent business man would not think of
putting such person in charge of an en-
terprise where only dollars could be lost.
Yet, under our system, in times of sudden
emergency the government is obliged to
put her soldiers in the care of officers
who know little or nothing about the
business of war, and their want of knowl-
edge costs a great deal of suffering and
loss of life. They should not be judged
too harshly; they have done the best
they knew, and probably quite as well as
some of their sharp critics could have
done under the same conditions.
O.
l hear a great deal about starving SOL
diers. My experience and observation as
a volunteer from 81 to 50. has convinced
me that there is more danger OF "young
soldier boys" getting sick from eating too
much, rather than too little, especially OF
stuff found about suffers stores, or that
which is always peddled about camp by
citizens, and | won't except stale straw
berry short cake and pies, sent from home
by loving but misguided friends. As an
illustration, l will state what happened
in the camps of two Pennsylvania regi-
ments IN the fall and winter of 81 and
go. Our colonel was a practical, hard
headed Pennsylvania Dutchmsn, who
would not have sutler in his camp. He
would not allow US to have dress coats
and white gloves, like the other regi-
ments, to put on style with because II
made just so much more weight for us
to carry, Very few neddlers got into our
camp with their "pizcn" things for sale
He often surprised the cooks Just before
meals by coming around and tasting and
examining the food TO see II II was we'll
cooked and wholesome. The consequence
was, our hospital was rather a lonesome
plaza SU- H-nd did not have much

more difficult and more precarious the
good work of President William Nc
Kinley.
Thus far they have not lacked en-
couragement. AS in 1864, the Demo-
cratic party, or, rather, its misguided
leaders, today inclines toward q posi-"
ton hntagonstic to the government
Then 1T declared the war for the pre-
scrvation of the Union a failure and
wanted Lincoln to sue for peace now
1t blackguards the management of the
war and wants to put the president
in a pocket But 1t rests with the
people to say whether these last hopes
of Spain shall be realized, and If they
are as patriotic as we believe them to
be, both the Democratic and the Span
ish leaders might better throw up their
hands and quit.

Spain's Last Hope.

II the American people at the en-
suing election vote as their best judg-
ment prompts, to sustain the president
who has so admirably conducted the
war with Spain; if they belle Richard
Croker's prediction that ere election
day they will have forgotten all about
the war: if. in other words, they eX.
that fckleness which some critics re-
gard as disqualifying them from sue
cossfully handling large administrative
problems, such as now confront this
nation in consequence of its swiftly
won war victories, a treaty of peace
will quickly be signed at Paris, because
Spain will then have lost her last hope
and will have no option but to yield to
the American terms.
In view of the fact that large
number of the presidents former sup
porters are Just now quarreling among
thmselves, while a great political party
in the United States, larger in member
ship than the whole of Span's adult
male population, is putting up a par
tisan fight on the Mckinley admins
tration with view to wrestling control
of congress from it, it is not surprising
that the Spanish peace commissioners
are playing for time and hoping TO re-
ceive indirect help from the United
states. These astute Spanish diplo-
matists calculate to profit, not from
any new strength which Spain herself
can muster but from the disintegration
of American strength in partisan or
factional political strife. They are
looking To the Democratic party and to
disgruntled and vindictive Republicans

SENSIBLE RED MAN.


Rochester Democrat and Chronicle
We confess to a strong prejudice in
favor of Chief Flat Mouth, of the Leech
Lake ChippeWas. Chief Flat Mouths no.
tions of the power and functions of the
public press and his attitude toward the
harmless necessary reporter are marked
by quality end quantity of common
sense whose contemplation should fill
with shame some civilized warriors, civi-
lized statesmen and civilized Individuals
in other walks of life, whose views of
newspapers are about as reasonable as Il
bulls view of a red rag and whose at
titude in reference to reporters is about
as sensible and digEitied as a nervous wO-
mans attitude in reference to a mouse.
There are in every community hosts of
men old enough to know better, whose
pututivc minds, whenever they become
conscious of the presence of "a reporter,
wildly mount chairs, gather their skirts
| tightly about them and piteously shrek
oh take II away. Take il away" Chief
| Flat Mouth may not go much on culture,
| hut hc EGog's better than that. 1t is
written that Wh,n tho other day he had
| Il conference NitIr General Bacon in re-
| gard to the pending difficulties between
| His people and the United States govern
ment. Chief Flat Mouth bitterly com
| planned tnat there was only one newspa-
| per correspondent present and wanted the
conference postponed till the other repor-
| ters could be sent for. Eie said he want
| ed the Indians side of the case published
| as widely as possible. Thus Chief Fiat
Mouth showed his high opinion of re.
| porters his intimate acquaintance with
| the etiquette of 'leaves,' his knowledge
| of how reporters ought to be treated by
persons engaged in the manufacture of
| history, and his commonsense view of
| reporters and their functions. He also
| managed to create a strong impression
| that there must be a good deal to be said
| on the Indian side of the controversy.
| Chief Flat Mouth was, evidently, far
more eager for the presence of the re-
| porters than was General Bacon.

A CLEAN CAMPAIGN.
From the Philadelphia Inquirer.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
1t will be noticed that Colonel Stone
has conducted his campaign on a high
plane, He has discussed the great issues
of the day without saying an unkind word
of his opponents, lie is attacking no
man. He appeals as an honest man to
honest citizens.
On the other side, the campaign is one
of abuse, Villihcation and defamation.
There is no depth too degrading for some
of these orators to wallow in. There is no
mire too filthy for them TO handle. The
campaign against the Republican party
Is simply disgusting. Thinking men can
not fail to appreciate the campaign which
Colonel Stone Is making as compared with
that of his allies.

La Fayette Day.

There is an especial Appropriateness
at this time about the proposed cell
ebration tomorrow in the public
schools of the United States of La Fa-
yette day, i'm memory of the great
French patriot who was of such not
able assistance to the Founders of the
American Republic. The fame of La
a commemoratjon. 1t is indelibly es-
tablished upon the pages of history
But the American people and more
especially the American youth need
themselves to study and to master the
lesson embodied in La Fayette's ca
reer, not only because they owe it to
him to feel grateful for what he did
for them. but also because recent cir
cumstances have put this nation in an
attitude before other nations which in
motive and spirit recalls La Fayette' S
work and makes timely a revival of in
terest in it. La Fayette was senti-
mentalist who backed his love of free
dom with his fortune and his good
sword. The people who objected to
our freeing Cuba would have objected
to La Fayette and voted him a fan
attic or a crank. The people who be-
lieve that we should be true TO the
pledge under which we interviewed in
the Cuban struggle and who therefore
regard as immoral the suggestion that
we hold Cuba as spoil of war will
derive from La Fayettes career incen-
tive and inspiration.
We cannot lose by studying the un-
selfishness and the practical human
!tarianism of this great son Of France
