THE END OF THE WAR.

lnE END UT LIE W ahs
Since the fall of Santiago, people
have begun to inquire if the war is
not at about an end, and most of
them seem to think that such is the
situation.
AS we have stated before, when it
comes to matters of prophecy, we are
just as much at sea as anybody else.
1t is true that peace negotiations may
be opened at any hour and that within
a few months the whole matter may
be settled; but in the light of existing
conditions, we do not look for any
thing of the kind.
Although we have read hundreds
of columns on the subject, we confess
that we have no satisfactory idea of
the state of affairs now existing in
Spain. There is no doubt of the fact,
however, that there are several strong
political parties in the kingdom, each
with a different view and all striving
for supremacy. Each is anxious to
take advantage of any mistake that
might be made by the other, and all
are at sea as to the best course to
pursue.
The portion of Cuba that has been
taken includes only about one-twelfth
of the whole island, and less than one
eighth of the Spanish army. General
Blanco still has in Havana and other
provinces, something like 100, 900 we'll
armed regulars, and between 10000
and $4,000 volunteers. The surrender
of Santiago the other day included
100000 Mauser cartridges, and if
the balance of the army is as well
armed in proportion, there seems to
be very little scarcity of ammunition.
Though strong were the defences of
Santiago, the defenses of Havana are
believed to be much stronger and not
only this, there will be great deal OF
fighting to do before the American
army will be in position to commence
an assault on Havana.
Ifthe political parties in Spain could,
in view of what all must recognize as
inevitable, heal their differences and
agree to prevent further bloodshed, the
trouble would soon be over. But from
political standpoint the situation is
pregnant with other developments
aside from bloodshed, and which are
considered by the politicians to be of
more importance. So it would appear
that the outlook for peace is not prom
ising. Even after a long, hard cam
paign in Cuba, and the taking Of the
whole island at the expense of much
hardship and bloodshed, it is possible
that the American armies will have to
invade Spain and dictate the terms of
peace at Madrid.
So while there is nothing amiss in
all of US hoping that the war is nearly
at an end, let us not deceive ourselves
in regard to this important matter.
1t is quite likely that all of the boys
who are now fretting and fuming at
Chickamauga, Columbia and other
points on account of the delay in re-
ceiving orders that will take them to
the front, will have plenty of excite
ment before the thing is over. And
furthermore, those young men who
have been slow to volunteer because
of a belief that they would never be
called into active service, might do
well to revise their notions. 1t is like
ly there will be work for every man
who has been called for and perhaps
many more.

is the appropriation bill, which prove.
the largest ever made by any congress-
Representative Sayers, of Texas, min
ority member of the house appropria-
tions committee, has made the follow
ing statement of the appropriations
made at this session: 1.-THE total ap-
preparations at the present session
amount to 1892, ,527,9 ,991. This includes
S117, 1886, ,22O permanent appropriations
and 1861, ,7SS,095 for war expenses.
Deducting the war expenses from the
sum total we have $3.50, ,739, ,9O6 to be
charged against the civil and ordinary
expenses of the government. ltshould
be borne in mind that no river and
harbor bill has been passed. Consid-
ering this fact, the appropriations for
civil and ordinary expenses of the
government at this session, and exclu'
ding war expenses, exceed that of any
preceding session." The amount OF
estimated revenues for the fiscal year
1899, was S39O,000,000 postal reve'
nues, S92, ,S74,6 ,647; grand total estima'
ted revenues for fiscal year 1899, S4S2, J

\ Wheel Novelty.

a emarkabla novelty, intended TO in
crease the safety of wheelmen, has
been introduced by a Berlin firm. It
consists Of luminous disk placed IN q
nickel frame, TO be fastened in the rear
OF the wheel, say back of the saddle,
to prevent collisions with another bi-
cycle. The disks are covered with a
chemical preparation, giving in the
dark a light similar TO that OF a glow
worm, but much stronger. The price
is rather small (about 60 cents). and
the little article will, therefore, be
very popular. The same firm is also
introducing house numbers TO be fast
ened TO the wall or gate of a house.
During the day the numbers appear OF
a yellowish white, but at night they
shine out, so that the number is easily
found even in q dark night

Portland's Torpedo Boat.

The firm OF Wolff & Zwicker of Port
land, Ore, has notified the Navy De
partment that il is ready to submit 10
official speed trials the torpedo boat
Davis, built by that concern. and has
requested the department. to fix time
and place for the trial. As no naval
vessel has yet been tried on the north
Pacific coast, it will be necessary for
the department to lay out a trial
course, probably in Puget Sound. The
builders Of the Davis, having been
making some private trials with the
little boat, which is required to make
a speed Of 221a knots, and having run
mp the revolutions OF the screw to 400,
fees satisfied that she will more than
meet the requirements.

The old Court House at Towanda
has been sold for 5000 and will be
torn down. 1t stands behind the
beautiful new structure recently erect
ed by Bradford county. The old
Court House in Bloomsbury was
modelled after it. In the basement
was the Sheriff's residence, and sever
al cells used as the county jail for
many years. In what was known as
the dark cell a murderer was cxecut-
ed many years ago. On the bench Of
the court room David Wilmot sat, he
of Wilmot Proviso fame while in con-
grcss, and afterwards Judge of the
Court of Claims OF the United States.
Ulysses Mercur, afterwards member
of Congress, and Chief Justice of the
Supreme Court Of Pennsylvania, also
served term as President Judge.
At the bar in those days there were
many distinguished lawyers in Brad
ford county, including Overton,
Adams, Watkins, Elwell, Baird, Ward,
Macfarlane and many others. All of
these legal giants have passed away,
and now the old court house where
their forensic ability was displayed is
to be torn down, and will soon, like
them, be no more.

The Death Knell of the Republican Party

The death struggle is agonizing.
Corruption in the republican party
is so corrupt that it grasps at every
floating straw. Its doom is sealed.
Fate is written over every republi-
can candidate. This congressional
district also teens with unstinted
corruption. The Berwick corpora
ton also seeks to own a congress
man. How can this be, except by
wholesale corruption In a COIL
gressional district, from 5000 to
5000 majority of different political
compleXions, nothing but whole
sale corruption can bring about
such a result.
Is the Woodin presumptions so
foolhardy as to suppose that enough
democratic voters can be bartered
to seat their man III conference in
the nations councils at Washing
ton Are the democrats such fools
as to play first fiddle to Berwick
corporation ? Democracy is M
prcgnable and cannot be bought or
sold as slaves, and to bow the knee
to this political Baal. On the night
Of Nov. Sth they will find that the
Stone which the builders rejected
did not become the head of the cor
ner of the Quay corruption i'll the
temple of Executive Halls of JUS
tice" at Harrisburg and that when
this Quay corruption shall have put
on political interruption, then will
be heralded abroad the glad tidings,
that the republican party is swal-
lowed up in democratic victory from
top to bottom.
