VIII Spain Protest ?

The statement that Spain will formally
and strongly object to the further despatch
OF American troops and ships to Manila is
not incredible, but We are not to presume
that our Government will change its pur-
pose In that respect. The rule laid down
by DR.. Snow Is that during n general
truce, though hostilities cease. each party
may In its own jurisdiction do with its
armed forces whatever 1t could do in time
OF peace. Notifications can be built or put
In order, vessels built and lifted out, troops
raised and trained, and warlike stores of
all kinds manufactured and collected.
Troops can be moved about from one part
OF the country to another, with the excep-
Tion OF the actual area OF hostilities, and
ships can be sent abroad and brought home"
And this can be done. although the general
rule may DO that, with exceptions OF the
sort noted, matters should be 30 carried
on during an armistice as to find both bel
Egerents in precisely the same position in
which they were when IL began"
Is there my notion that the troops and
ships we send to the Philippines are to be-
employed against Spain ? Her chief gar

BARBER county was literally strewn
the latter part of last week with a cir
cular letter signed and purported to
have been issued by several of the DEM
ocratic central committee of Harper
county, in which there was a strong
appeal urging the democrats to vote for
Preston b. Gillett for district judge.
We have never before read anything so
thoroughly rotten and false. That re-
publicans were at the bottom of it there
can be no doubt, and it is equally GER
tain that it had no effect except to pro-
perly locate those who affixed their sig
nature. The campaign IS over and
nothing that can be said now can affect
the past but this is another incident to
show that tho Judases are not all dead.
Those who were behind this letter
knew that they had weak case and
did not dare to spring 1t until a few
days before the election. 1t would not
bear analysis. There are many con-
temptible men in this world, but the
man who will accuse another without
allowing him his God given right of de-
