Our Country in the Right, But Right or Wrong:
Our Country"

In perilous times like these the true
spirit of Americanism manifests itself in
an unmistakable manner. The votes in
congress on the $50, 0OO, 900 emergency
bill and the bill for enlisting two new az
tillery regiments, amply prove that in
the presence of a foreign war only one
party can exist in America. Political
feuds and animosities melt and disap-
pear in the fiery white heat of patriotic
fervor; for the time all minor domestic
questions are postponed until the press
ing emergency of war has passed away.
1t needed a crisis like the present to
wipe out the lingering passions of the
civil war and reunite the too long dis
severed sections of the Union in one
holy bond of fraternal love. Thank
God u country is II in heart and soul
again. Our southern exchanges are full
of devotion to the Flag of the Free, and
all it typiies. In the event of war, Mas
sachusetts and South Carolina, Maine and
Texas, New York and Virginia, and all
the superb sisterhood of states would
march shoulder to shoulder, as our
Fathers did in rs and 1912 when they
met and conquered the British enemy.
!, In the midst of the universal concord
which pervades the entire country, it is
painful to hear even one note of dlscord
(have heard but one, and are proud to
sayi it is not from citizens of Spanish des'
cent for they are as American as the
most patriotic among the people). II
might as well be understood that this il
one exception to the cherished privilege.
Of free speech. Americans will not lis
ten patiently to denunciations of theil
beloved country in times like these, mol
will they tolerate expressions of desires
for Spanish success. If there are those
who can not raise their voices for Ameri'
Gu and victory, it will be to their inter
est to maintain a very prudent silence.

Those Disputed Cannon.

When the confederate forces which
had invaded New Mexico under Sibley
were driven back by the First Colorado
volunteers, they buried a dozen cannon
to prevent their capture by the federal
troops. Within recent years eight OF
these cannon have been recovered and
there is now o dispute between the
Grand Army posts Of New Mexico and
Colorado as to which shall possess them,
which dispute is going IN in congress
and before the war department.
We can very readily see why New
Mexico should desire to retain these rel
les, and also why Colorado wants them.
As a matter of fact, both sides have a
claim on them. Hence as neither party
should display selfishness, the News sug-
gests that a compromise be effected and
the cannon divided. For the four which
New Mexico should retain there Is a
very appropriate place. In the plaza at
Santa Fe, a spot Of rare historic interest,
there stands u granite monument erect

ing in its splendid masses, effective
features and excellent grouping. While
a classic motif has been adopted, it has
been handled with an unconventional
freedom that gives to the whole a rich
oriental effect. The basis of design is
the chaste Ionic. The details are
modelled from flowers, fruits and fol-
iage.
On either side of the stately entrance
are towers, or rather mosque-likc nina
rets. This feature is reproduced on four
sides, forming an octagon from which
springs the dome. Between these NINA
rets are placed circular colonnades, sur
rounded by statuary emblematic of
the seasons. Above the dome is an
open observatory balcony from which
can be obtained a grand view, not only
of the exposition grounds, but of the
city and adjacent lakes, the picturesque
valley of the mighty Missouri, and the
lovely city of Council Bluffs, five miles
away. Above this open balcony is the

Expression Of Private Opinions Not Treason.

A number or eastern papers are crlCl-
cising Justice Harlan, of the United
States Supreme court, for expressing d
private opinion on public matters pub
Ideally. According to these critics it is
almost high treason for a man occupying
a position as a public official to entertain
opinions on any subject, and for that
man to express himself on questions OF
the hour is sufficient to brand him as al
enemy OF the republic.
Justice Harlan's remark which has
called forth so much animadversion is
this: II am free to say that, in my
opinion, there are two additions which
the United States must maketo it's terri.
tory for its protection and s~afety-Cuba
and the Hawaiian islands. 1t would be
folly, almost criminal, to neglect the
opportunity o presented OF acquiring
possession of Hawaii
The fact. of which the papers that are
reading moral lectures to the justice are
evidently ignorant, is that Justice Har-
Ian voiced the opinion of almost the en-
tire nation when he uttered the words
quoted. The masses of the intelligent
people of the country recognize that so
long as Cuba remains in the possession
of IA foreign country, that island will be
a base for operations against the United
States in ease of war with that country
or its allies; so long as the Hawaiian
islands, which are the key to the Pacific
ocean, are allowed to be q possible OBJ
ject of contention to the ambitious Ia
tions of Europe, there is a great prob
ability of their resulting in a conflict
which will entangle America, while If
they are annexed at this time there will
be no trouble over the requirement OF
additional territory with any govern
ment.
The United States is not in any actual
need of more lands, so far as purposes
of agriculture or settlement are con-
cerned, but it is needing the islands of
Cuba and Hawaii as defense outposts,
and to prevent their being used by an un-
friendly people in harassing commerce
and threatening the peace which is Sc
much desired on this side of the oceans.
For reasons which are beyond the dis.
ccrnment of ordinary mortals, a certain
| class of men in the country are determ'
ined that the United States must not act
on the defensive, must not protect the
interests of the people, must not act the
part of the Good Samaritan in the name
of humanity and civilization, under any
circumstances, and when a maj OF
prominence dares to raise his voice in
behalf of one or all of these just and
patriotic measures he is Immediately
howled down as a lingo, a time server,
and an enemy to the country.
Perhaps the day is not far distant
when patriotism will again command
respect in the United States, and poll
tics and money not rule the land. 1t is
to be hoped so at least.

The Amendment 10 Land Court Act.

The bill introduced in the house of
representatives by Delegate FERGUSON,
amending the act creating the court of
private land claims, has for its object
the extension of the time allowed the
holders Of small tracts, which are locat-
ed upon grants that have been re-
jected by the court and become subject
to public entry, to perfect their titles.
The original act provides that all
holders Of such tracts might, without
expense, within two years after the pas
sage of the act, apply to the proper land
Office and receive a government title to
the lands so held, thus preventing their
loss through the entries filed by new
corners on public domain. That time
has expired and many small holdings
have not been proved up on, undoubted-
ly through ignorance Of the law, and
such tracts are subject to the general
homestead laws, although the holders
have lived upon them for years.

will be profusely decorated with flower
urns, hanging baskets and ornamental
plants of every description from semi

design and scheme is original and the
grouping of features, with their ex-
