Spain has in the past exhibited such
an amazing combination of ignorance.

ness that there need be no astonish-

in claim for damages against the

Manila. There can be no doubt as to
the nature of the reply which the
United States commissioners will make
to this impudent demand. The refusal
to admit the possibility of the justice
of such claim, or to consent to its
consideration or discussion, will be

that Manila was forcibly occupied by

Paymaster Charles I. Walker has
brought the good news to Warren and
West Warren that the mills had been
sold to the Thorndike Co., and that
they will be started at once. They

they employed about 500 hands it has

capacity of the plant at the start will
be $50 tons of beets daily. but the works

morning, an attempt was made to MUIR

the Greene oyster beds, near Warren.
X. l. Munroe discovered two oyster
thieves at work and rode out in his
boat to drive them away. One of the
thieves jumped into Munroes boat and
in the struggle that followed both were
precipitated into the water The thief
who remained in the boat belabored
Munroe with an oar while the other
tried to drown him by holding his
head under water. This trick falling,
the thief in the boat pulled his pal from
the water and both rowed away leay-
ing Munroe to drown, as they supposed.
the latter was able to swim to the
shore quarter of mile distant, how
ever, and soon aroused farmers living
in the vicinity who made a search for
the murderous thieves, but they could
not be found.

BY no means the least remarkable
thing about General Kitcheners Sou
dan campaign was it's low cost. Ac-
cording to his own account, the whole
expense of the movement during its
two and half years of continuance
was 92,5OO,OO0, say $12,50O,0 900, and this
included not only the transportation
and maintenance of the troops, but the
building of 700 miles of well equipped
railway and 1000 miles of telegraph.
1t would have been an extremely low
price for the railway alone, even con-
ceding that it was built, as much OF
it was, by merely laying the rails and
ties on the level sand, with little or no
grading. The economic feature of the
Sirdar's campaign is of interest to both
civil and military engineers.

The Prophecy Of a Spanish Editor.

A leading Madrid newspaper, the
Impartial, declares. that America, by
her conduct, has lost her place among
civilized people, and henceforth will
count only as one of the most numer-
Gus and opulent of hordes." This is
important if true, and the statement is
worthy of consideration. 1t may be
that the Spanish editor found this dire
prophecy in one of Charles Elliot Nor
tons speeches. 1t favors of his dys-
peptic pessimism, and if it is his utter
ance, or that of some Democratic cam
paign orator, America can simply blush
and pass it by without answer. But if
it is original with the Spaniard, this
wall from the tomb of Castilian pride
means much. 1t means that the era
of reason has passed in Spain, and that
in the humiliation of it's defeat and just
punishment for it's centuries of bloody
crimes its utterances are inspired only
by it's blind and venomous hate for the
the ascendency while it's own fades in
to eternal oblivion.
If the Spanish editor who wrote this
prophecy could find time, some day, to
read a little history, he might see
things in different light. He might
learn that it is Spain which has
fallen through bigotry. cruelty and
avarice from a place in the first rank
of nations to place in the mire where
! might see that in the march of civiliza-
ton Spain has been left far behind,
and that a new world whose greatness
she cannot comprehend. refuses longer
to tolerate her savage and barbaric
practices. He might learn that Spains
standard of civilization is several CEN
turtles behind the times, and that his
eyes are glued to the wrong end of the
| telescope when he prophesies as to
Americas future.
| The editor, by saying that America
has lost her place." etc, admits that
| America has had a place among civil
| lied nations, which is no small conces-
sion for a Spaniard to make. Thus he
| is not wholly beyond the reach of saw
| ing grace when he sobers off. 1t is also
very kind of him to say we shall here

horde Perhaps he does that merely
to fiatter our. vanity, and deep down
inside he really believes that America
will soon be a sparsely settled and
poverty stricken desert, all because It
refused to allow Spanish misrule 10
longer curse the western hemisphere.
The editor of the impartial is beyond
all fear of starvation, the fate that is
popularity supposed to overtake all
editors at last. He can always be sure
of good job in this country as /

THE REPUBLICAN VICTORY.

At late hour. last night, the re-
turns from all parts of the country in
faith in William Mckinley, and had
given his administration a splendid
endorsement at the polls. The
much heralded "off year. slump for
the party in power did not materialize,
and the elections Of 1898 show the
world that the American people stand
for Americanism. The great gains
which the Democrats counted on to
give them control of the next Congress
do not appear on the face of the re-
turns, and it seems assured that both
branches will be safely Republican,.
In New York, where the greatest in
terest centered, the Republican victory
is gratifying. Crokerism is sternly
rebuked by the Empire State. Colonel
Roosevelt is elected governor by a
safe majority, and a Republican Leg
islature will send statesman to the
Senate to replace Murphy, the, Troy
boss, who has been such a reproach to
the state.
