OUTRAGEOUS FAVORlTlSM,

The appointing of rich mems sons
to fat be1ths i'll the Army has become
a national disgrace. The wal is a
real, earnest war and will call forth
our best reserves.
We want soldiers, not the pampered
sons of luxury 10 handle our war.
OF this the New York Journal saws,
Even III aristocratic England,
though you might be born a lord and
worth millions, you can no longer
purchase a commission in the army.
Here in the United States commits
s1ons Ill the army are given away to
birth and wealth.
This favoritisln is a disgrace to the
Government which practises it. de-
moralizing to the service. and a
shame to the Republic.
What earthly reason is there for
making Mr.. Bradlee Strong a %lieuten-
ant colonel, for glazing instance?
HIS only claim to notice above mil
lions of other young men is that he
happens to be a son of ex-Mavor
Strong of New York. That is a dis
tlnctlon certainly, but how does it
tit Master Bradley for soldering?
His sole military experience that at
tracted public notice was the organiz-
alton of a paper chase, which is an
limitation fox hunt, at Seabright.
Consider the feelings of army Of
fcers who have served on the frontier
until they are grey, aid yet are now
only l~ieutenants and captains, at
seeing rich mems sons and Young
dandles given higher ranks than
themselves, for no cause other than
their ~parentage, their wealth, their
social positions and their political
pulls.

bodies, the behavior OF Craig Wads-
worth, Willie Tiffany, grandson of
Commodore Perry, w. c. Eustis,

The army has a right to feel angry,

REPORT ON ALASKA,
Governor Brady Makes an Important
Report.

Washington. Dec. 1.-The annual
report Of Governor Brady of Alaska
briefly summarized in Secretary Bliss
report, was made public today. II
makes a strong plea for congressional
action on Alaska's needs at the coming
session and begs congress to treat Alas
kans as American citizens and not
classify them with Bauakas, Filipinos
and Cubans.
Governor Brady declares that it
seems impossible to prevent smuggling
into Alaska. The average price deal
ers pay smugglers is 81 per gallon for
whisky, which in the market at Port
Townsend is worth 50 to $3.50 per gall
Ion. The retail dealer, by %eillianous
compounds, succeeds in making two
past year much foreign liquor has gone
up the SUBMITS of the Dyea and Skag-
nay trails. A portion of this has found
its way back to De sold in the numer-
Gus saloons in each of these towns,
Seizures by the custom officers for the
past year have probably amounted to
$500 gallons. The amount of foreign
liquor smuggled will probably amount
to 10000 gallons. None of this foreign
liquor has at any time brought any
revenue to the United States.
A recommendation is made for a
high license liquor law, a tax of a few
cents per case on salmon and ten cents
per ton on wharfages. The first two
combined would net at least 1926, 00C
annually. The third. s10O, 900, based
on this years wharfage. 1t is also rec.
commended that the general land laws
be extended to Alaska; Alaska be given
representation in congress; that Jap
onsky island be made a naval station
and cable communication be effected
with the United Statns.

lette, the Ascending cattle plunger, Is
under arrest at chihuahua, Mexico.
and a detective, armed with a war
rant, sworn out by the president of the
Homes Clmmission company, went
there tonight to take him into custody
while arrangements for his extradftion
are being made. The news of Gillette's
whereabouts came in a telegram to the
Towners Commission company here,
asking If % per cent of the money on
Gillette would be given for news Of
him. Whether the offer was accepted
or not, the commission men refuse to
say, but in any event they soon learned
where he was and went after him. 1t
is said that Gillette has 500. 900 in cash
with him, but there is no confirmation
of this.
Application for extradition papers
has already been made to Washington
and there is some doubt as to whether
Gillette can be extradited on the charge
of obtaining money under false pre-
lenses, which is the one for which a
warrent was issued. If he cannot, the
charge will be changed to forgery,
which, 1t is believed, can be proven
against him
Charles A. Shaeffer, president of the
George Holmes Commission company,
wore out a warrent here today charg-
ing Gillette with having obtained $40,
500 by false pretenses. The warrant
was placed in the hands of an officer.
and the officer left tine city tonight.

Geography is not only one OF the
most interesting studies, but M of the
most important as well. 1t is not OF
value to the student alone, but to every
man and IN who wishes to keep
in touch with the happenings of the
great world about them. The lev
from distant parts of the earth, which
is brought to the breakfast table every
morning, is much Of 1t little better
than Greek to the person who is I'M
familiar with geography. In fact the
stirring events of the world compel
those who desire to have the correct
knowledge of them to be daily students
Of this important branch Of education.
This truth is apparent to anyone who
has tried to follow the course Of our
war with Spain. Before Admiral Dew
ey's victory how many people knew the
location Of Manila and the Philippine
Islands? The Cape Verde islands.
where the Spanish fleet modified, and
the Dry Tortugas where our own fleet
collected, preparatory TO the search
for Cervera and the bombardment OF
Santiago de Cuba, are now familiar
names.
During the past year we have had In
~telosting news from Alaska, Armenia,
key. In these %troublous times, a
knowledge of the geographical forma-
ton of the countries of the globe, their
colonies, and the location Of the chief
towns and rivers is indispensable to
one who would read his daily paper in
diligently.
Approaching the great usefulness OF
accurate and clear maps in studying
the various phases of the war, The Re-
publican has arranged with Rand, Nc
Nally & Co., of Chicago, for the new
Standard War Atlas. The Atlas on
tains sixteen pages of the latest and
best wal maps published, comprising
four double-page maps (21x28 inches)
OF the World, North America, Europe
and Oceania, and seven f~ull-page maps
(14x21 inches) Of Cuba, the West In
dies, South America, China, Spain and
Portugal, Asia, Africa and the Philip
pine and Hawaiian islands. Enlarged
sections show ports Matanzas, Santi-
ago de Cuba, San Juan and Cienfue-
COS; also Cardenas and Santa Clara
bays. They are beautifully printed on
heavy map paper, and bound in an at
tractiye paper
This atlas should not be confounded
with the numerous cheap aliases sold
at the stores. 1t is entirely new, and
can be obtained only from The Re-
publican or Its regular agents.
Every reader Is recommended TO
procure one at once, and thus be able
to watch the strategic movements OF
our army and navy from the vantage

Something About the New Discovery
for Curing Dyspepsia.
The Rev. F. I. Bell, a highly esteemed
minister residing in Weedsport, Cay
uga county, N. Y, in a recent letter,
writes as follows: There has "
been anything that l have taken that
has relieved the Dyspepsia from which
I have suffered for ten years except
the new remedy called Stuart's Dyspep-
sia Tablets. Since taking them 1 have
had no distress at all after eating and

Rev. F. Bell, Weedsport, N. Y, form
erly, Idalia, Colo"
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets Is a re-
markable remedy, not only because it
is a certain cure for all forms of indi-
gestion, but because 1t seems to act
as thoroughly in old. chronic cases OF
dyspepsia az well as In mild attacks
Of indigestion or biliousness. A per-
son has dyspepsia simply because the
stomach Is overworked. all 1t wants is
a harmless, vegetable remedy to digest
the food and thus give 1t the much
needed rest.
This is the secret Of success Of this
peculiar remedy. No matter how weak
or how much disordered the digestion
may be, Stuayt's Dyspepsia Tablets Will
digest the food whether the stomach
works or not. New life and energy Is
given not only to the stomach but to
every organ and erv In the body. A
trial Of this splendid medicine will con-

Frances Interest in Spain.

There is material reason for French
sympathy with Spain. The London
correspondent of the New York Finan-
cial Chronicle writes under date of the
9th instant: SIT is estim rated that
French investments in Spain are not
less than four milliards, or EGO, 600, =
600 $500, 600, OOO). The bankruptcy
of the Spanish government, followed
probably by 3 further great depre-
citation of the paper money and wide
spread failures in commercial and f.
nancisl circles. would inflict terrible
losses upon French investors" One of
the puzzles Of the time, says this cor
respondent. is how Spain can go on

Philippine operations.-Springfeld
