OUR CANDIDATE.

Although the county nominating
invention has not yet been called
id probably will not be for some lit
time vet, the BANNER wishes To
.mly impress it upon the minds of the
republicans Of Ionia county that Bel
ing wants place on the ticket this
al. 1t is unnecessary at this time TO
ehash the mistakes of the convention
wo years ago, it is generally conceded
hat some mistakes were made, but let
he party gather wisdom by its past
Experiences. We were defeated in our
ambition at that time but no one
cain say that we sulked in our tents
put on the contrary put up the hottest
light ever waged here and won hand
some victory If other parts OF the
county had worked as hard for the sue
cess of the ticket we do not believe the
opposition could have elected single
candidate in this county. Ali this is
history however whereas it is the pres
emit and future with which we have To
deal now. Again the Republicans
OF this city will go into the con
vention and ask the nomination OF a
highly esteemed fellow citizen Elmer
T.. Fales for the Office of sheriff. His
personal qualifications for the place
are so well known to all that it really
seems unnecessary for Us TO attempt tC
enumerate them. His splendid capa'
bilities for that Office have never beer
questioned by anyone. Bedding II
fairly entitled to this nomination anC
it is very certain if he is put upon thu
ticket he will be the next sheriff o
Ionia county Republicans, make M
mistake this year and nominate E. E
Fales for sheriff.

The unpleasant memories of the
great struggle between the north and
south are being cast aside. There are
no truer supporters of the old flag in
our present war than the progressive
people of the sunny south. If our
great nation gains nothing else, the
creation of bond which will draw
north and south closer, and destroy
the feeling of bitterness which natural
lv follows as the result of a civil war,
the entire cost of the war with Spain
will be as nothing, and the result will
be a consummation by far more profita-
BILE than conquest.

The destruction of the Spanish fleet
at Santiago leaves the way open for an
immediate descent upon the coast OF
Spain with sufficient force to carry
everything before US. 1t is now ex-
pected that Commodore Watson, who
will soon sail, will take with him across
the Atlantic the cruisers Newark, Co
lumbia and Minneapolis; the battle
ships Massachusetts, Oregon aud In
diana, and the auxiliary cruisers
Yankee. Dixie and Yosemite. Camara's
fleet is alreay returning TO Cadiz; but
its whole force will be sorry match
for this powerful American squadron.
The first point Of attack will be, it is
expected, the Canary Islands, where
Spain has very little in the line OF
defense, and, after these are captured,
the Spanish coast cities will be bonn
barded Four large GOLFERS will 90
with the fleet, so that it will not be
obliged to beg coal from any one. No
torpedo boats will be taken, and the
searchlights and rapid fire guns will be
depended upon to account for the
Spanish destroyers. Troops are to be
held ready to follow up any advantages
gained, and to occupy Spanish cities
This is the plan provided Spain does
not cry quits.

The BANNER believes the voters OF
this school district did wisely In voting
down both propositions submitted TO
them last Monday evening The fun
damental ideas are perhaps all right
and will ultimately prevail but the acts
at present offered US are certainly un-
desirable. Pertinent to this subject is
the following from the Portland Re
view: Representative James Scully
OF Ionia was in Portland Friday and to
a Review representative said he was
convinced that the idea OF having the
state print text books for free use in
the public schools and then compelling
all school districts TO come under the
uniform law was worthy of careful con
sideration. The bill as originally
drafted contained Il compulsory clause,
Representative Scully said, but it was
so badly trimmed up before the legis-
lature of '97 got through with 1T that
its original shape was scarcely recog'
nized. Mr.. Scully believes by having
the state do the work all chances o.
iobberv would be removed and honesty
would be the rule, to the destruction
of the school book trust. Recent agi
tation of the subject has brought on
various ideas and something better thar
the present law will be demanded o
the next legislature. Hardly a schoo
district in the state has voted to accep
the provisions of the new law"

The large alkali plant being built at
Bay City is using in its construction
large quantities of brick taken from
abandoned brick buildings. The alkali
people hit on the plan of buying build
ings in some Of the decadent northern
towns, tearing them down and bring
ing the material there. Many of these
buildings together with brick chimneys
from burned or dismantled saw mills,
could be bought and torn down for less
than the cost Of the brick, and in this
way plenty Of material, just as good
and cheaper than new, obtained. 1t Is
said that the town of Oscoda is being
almost dismantled in that process, and
there will be scarcely a brick structure
left by the close of the season in what
less than ten years ago was growing
flourishing village of nearly 1000 pop
ulation.

What an exhibition Of kindness and
courtesy was that which took place on
the deck of the Gloucester, when its
commander grasped the hand of the
Inundated Spanish admiral in friendly
greeting and graceful compliment to
the prowess of himself and his fleet.
What a spirit Ct humanity was that
which prompted the commander OF our
ships to protect the shipwrecked Span
lard from the attacks of the Cubans on
the shore; which sent our sailors to
rescue of drowning enemies though at
great danger to themselves; which
suggested the same kind attention to
the needs Of the wounded Spaniards as
would have been given to wounded
Americans?

for we are always pleased to have a

Although we are III the service of I'm

ments of our friends at Audubon.
We have been here in camp three
weeks last Saturday June g., and |
hope we will leave soon now for some
place, for we are camped on what was
once a Chinese grave yard and in
about three feet of sand. Some of the
companies have dug up the re mains of
two or three Cinnamon and have their
tent decorated with their bones.
The olst is now nearly fully equip
ped. All we need now is knapsacks
and shelter tents. If we should get Or
ders to move l think we could get
ready in less than day. 1t is a draw
to see whether the 7th California or the
5lst Iowa goes to Honolulu. / under
stand we go out and drill tomorrow
afternoon to decide which goes, and l
tell you the old 51st won't be in the
rear, for they can't get them better
Than Iowa can send them out. Our
company was out Sunday afternoon
Tor target practice. We fired five
rounds at man lying down at two
hundred yards and we all did very well
Will made score of twenty out of a
chance of twenty-five. Clyde and my
self did not do so well so | won't give
you our score.
We have been out on the beach 3
couple of times and once we went il
bathing. We have been over to the
chutes several times. The chutes arr
great things. One can see any thins
he wants to over there. About tn,
only place of interest we have not yisi
ted is China town and we will 90 on
there tonight if We can get a pass
The officers are very strict now an,
they will let but thirty of us out from
seven until ten.
Some of the companies are gettin
their pay now. l don't know when L
gets theirs, though we boys won't hav
very much money coming. But w
are just as anxious as those who hay
a full month coming. Well l mus
bring this to a halt and we will loo
for a REPUBLICAN next week and a
