HER HONOR UNTARNIsHED.

If the subject was not so grim and
CHASTITY, involving as it does sacrifice
of human life and the suffering Of
thousands of human beings, it would
be amusing, this question Of what is
needed to satisfy Spanish honor" No
one has questioned the fighting quality
of the Spanish nation. All the world
knows Spain to be warlike Cowardice
the Spanish were never accused Of
though some cruel and strange con-
ceptions of force In war are enter
tained by them.
With the loss Of two fleets and the
investment Of a chief city, the block
ade Of Cuba, and the manifest ability
of America to overwhelm it's foe with
numbers, it would seem that by the
resistance Spain has made thus far
her honor has been vindicated wholly
She has struck hard blows. She has
made a gallant fight as far as fighting
has gone. She has defied a Power
vastly her superior in population, arms
and munitions of war. She has dip
lomatically managed to bother US much

people of the interior are the ones you
want to reach. They are the real buy
ers, and the real producers. Why, let
me say to you that you do not stop to
think. Ask nine men out of ten what
proportion of the 10000, 600 people that
live in these United States reside in
cities and towns of 10000 population
and over, and the answer viii surely be,
Well, l think about 757 in each thous-
and live in the cities
Now, it is just the reverse, or near
ly so. In your own State, out of a
population of 1.5O0. 900, only about one
third live in the cities. Hence, it Is the
majority We want to cater tot is
their trade We want. So it behooves
Mr.. Merchant and Mr. Manufacturer
to look after this interior trade, and
keep in line all exhibitions like the
State Fair, which is patronized almost
wholly by the solid producing classes
of the State.
There is great opportunity to
make attractive displays of not only
agricultural, but Industrial products, of
new mining devices, practical pumping
plants, and, in fact, all kinds of modern
mechanism to be viewed by the masses
The State Fair is the best medium for
showing everything of merit, and i'm
mediate attention should be given to
the preparation of exhibits.

quests for information will be prompt

is necessary. OF course a hospital ship
at Manila. or anywhere else where war
is going on would be a good thing. But
1t does not follow that the Government
is so poverty stricken that private SUBJ
scriptions must be taken to buy me-
cessity for 1t and present it to the
Governments. The people are paying
the war taxes gracefully and without
demur. These are sufficient to procure
all needs for the army and the navy.
Let the women who are pushing this
matter upon public attention turn their
batteries upon the Government at
Washington, and it will not be long De
fore a hospital ship is ordered for Ma
nila- Probably ship already there, as
General Merritt suggests can be used
and thus a vast deal of time saved
Hongkong is but two days distant and
every necessary supply for the ship can
be procured there, as such supplies are
not contraband of war.

Cervera, it is said, heard first Of the
success of Dewey when he was told
about it ON one Of our ships, where he
was held a prisoner. This is evidence
of the secresy the Spanish have main
tanned within their lines concerning the
truth. It is a part Of their system to
subvert and suppress news, and keep
the truth under foot If so high an
ed Admiral of the Spanish navy, was
kept in ignorance of the capture Of the
Philippines for two whole months, what
must be the Information possessed by
the people at large in districts domi-
mated by the Spaniard?
