THE STATE GOVERNMENT.

State Auditor Morris was able to be In
his Office one day last week.
The scaffolding in the dome of the
State house is being taken down,
1t is generally agreed that the present
State administration has greatly inn
proved the State house grounds,
Governor Leedy has appointed w. H.
L. Pepperell, Of Concordia, as director
of the penitentiary to succeed A. A. New
man, deceased Mr.. Pepperell is Secre-
tary Of the Democrat State Central COM
mittee.
A. A. GODDARD, the Republican candi-
date for Attorney General, presented the
certificate Of nomination for w. A.
Reeder, the Sixth district Republican.
Congressional nominee, for filing at the
Secretary Of States Office last week, but
did not have 1t filed at once, as he had
not placed a revenue stamp on 1t. II is
not likely that Mr.. GODDARD was trying to
beat the government; he just don't know
as much about law as he might.

The Hiawatha World, Ex-Governor
MOrrills personal organ, says that
no upright man would accept such q
nomination as Leland secured for Stuart
for District Judge in his home district.
1t also adds that "such utter disregard
Of right and honor as the Doniphan DEL
egates insist upon In this instance has
scattered the $4,000 Republican majority
to the four winds"

A report that Kansas soldier Is in
trouble causes endless glee for Republ-
can papers. Patriotic citizens have
feeling Of sympathy for them, but these
papers have felt very bad because Gov
ernor Leedy did not make some fool
break in their organization, and no effort
is spared to make 1t appear that he did.

Miles's statement (which practically ac-
cuses the heads of that department of seek
ing to shelve the active commander of
the army and deprive him OF just credit
due him has been published all over the
country, and it is difficult ito see how it
can be permitted to go unanswered. 1t
is either true or false. If it be false then
General Miles has been laboring under a
haIlucination or has deliberately maligned
his superior, and If the latter, he ought to
be.punishcd. If it be true then Ethe..war
department has been guilty of very mean
conduct, and the men who instigated it
ought to be dismissed in disgrace. The
controversy is something more than q
quarrel between two men and it is
altogether too late probably to hush 1t up,
even if that were desirable way to dis
pose of it.

The country can never be too thank
full that Cervera' S fleet crossed the ocean
and put into Santiago. Its coming led to
the expedition to Santiago, and that
expedition averted the necessity of
attacking Havana. There was considera-
BILE loss of life at Santiago from bullets,
and there was more from disease, but the
aggregate is insignificant as compared
with the number of the deaths that we now
know must have attended campaign
against Havana. Indeed it is not too
much to say that but for the expedition
to Santiago we should be just beginning
the war today instead of being at the end
of it. The troops at Chickamauga and
Falls Church and jacksonville, sinstead
of departing for tn cir homes as they now
are and have been for some weeks. would
be preparing to depart for the pestilential
marshes that surrodnd Havana, where
tens of thousands of them must have sue.
cumbed to disease Another thing to be
thankful for Is that the President and
General Miles refused to yield to the OUT
cry for an advance on the Cuban capital
in midsummer. No doubt, as General
Miles points out, the pressure for such
move was very great, and good deal OF
nerve was required to resist it.

Exactly what Interpretation is to be put
upon the statement which comes from
Washington that the functions of the
peace commission are to be diploma tic''
and not judicial Is not quite clear, but
probably the meaning is that the body is
not to hear evidence in regard to the
Philippines, and consider the justice or
injutice, policy or impolicy of holding the
whole or part of them, which judicial
body might be expected to do, but is
simply to devise the best way of com pell-
ing the Spanish commissioners to agree
to comply with certain demands that 1T
will be instructed to make before it
leaves Washington, and to vary and modify
which it will have little or no discretion.
What these demands are to be is not yet
publicly known, and possibly will not be
until they are made, but from the fact
that most, if not all, of the commissioners
are strong expansionists 1t is reasonable
to infer that we are going to demand con-
siderably more than coaling station in
the Philippines.

The Democratic newspapers are trying
hard to make it appear that there is deep
Significance In the election returns from
when compared with 1894 shows a falling
off, while the Democratic shows slight
gain. No sensible man, however expected
that the tremendous majorities the Re-
publicsns have been getting In the East
ern States since the Democratic break
down in 1894 could be maintained indef1-
nitely. Those najorities represented not
so much acoessions to the Republican
voting strength as TO the falling off of the
Democratic vote due to disgust with the
quarrels among their party leaders and
the general misbehavior Of the Democrat
ic organization. It was the same in Yer
mont as in this State. In 1892 Gov.
Cleaves had a plurality Of $4,000. In
1894 his plurality rose to $4,000, though
his vote was less than 1000 greater than
in 1892. The difference in plurality was
due to the drop in the Democratic vote,
which fell from $1,000 to $4,000. This
tremendous decline represented simply
temporary disgust on the part of the
Democrats. The Democratic party is now
out of power, and tine causes of this dis
gust have to large extent passed out of
mind and naturally the Democratic vote is
resuming something like it's normal pro-
portions. In 1894 and 1896 there were
abnormal political conditions in this Sec
tion OF the country, which led to abnor-
NAL majorities. Normal conditions are
and with them normal majori.
ties. That is all the significance there is
in the Vermont figures. To interpret the
slight Democratic gain in that State as
rebuke of what some of the Democratic
editors call the murder of the volun-
teers'' by Algerism is the veriest non
sense. If the people of Vermont had
thought that there was murder to be re-
buked they would have rebuked it by tens
of thousands of votes, not by few paltry
hundreds.

If Spain could suppress .her pride, and
determine her future attitude toward the
Philippines by An intelligent regard for
her material interests simply she would
abandon those islands forever. Their
temp, rary governor has just re-
ported to the Spanish government that to
reestablish sovereignty over them
would require an army of 10000 men at
least besides a powerful feet Of modern
fighting ships. These requirements are
far beyond the ability of Spain to afford,
and she could only furnish them by
some taxation of her people.

In 1898 Arkansas gave Bryan over

was $1,000. This year the total vote Of
Populists, Prohibitionists and Democrats

threw 35, ,000-that is the Democratic vote
