MADRID, December 23.-The condition
OF Senior Sagasta, the Premier, now causes

able absence OF expectoration.
The newspapers express great sympa-

Increased Pay for Soldiers.
From the RnrIington Hawkeye.

Concerning the proposition to in
crease the pay of the soldiers, the Du-
buque Times (Rep) says that "if IA
force of 100000 is to be maintained in
definitely, congr, SIS will hardly feel JUS
titled in increasing ;hepresent compen-
sation. 1t will propably prefer to ex-
cuse those volunteers who may wish 10
return to their more remunerative
civil occupations aud to retain only
those whose continuance in the army
will involve no financial loss But
the Times believes "there will be
popular consent should congress decide
to double p " the soldiers for the time
intervening between tie outbreak of
the war and the signing of the treaty
of peace. fhs would be Il just recog
milton OF the bravery of the regulars at
Santiago and If the nations ob.iga-
lions to those volunteers whose enlist
ment has involved pecuniary sacrifice"
AS this uterance probably indirectly
reflects the views of Senator Allison, it
is not without; gnificance in its bearing
on future legislation for increased com.
pensation for the soldiers in the Span
ish war. The proposition is a practi-
cal and conservative solution Of q
question that las been under discus.
sion in Iowa and has been acted upon
in some states by extra pay paid by the
state. The Hawkeye believes our sol
diers shoul have increased pay
during the war and the people will
gladly sustain congess in generous leg
islation in their behalf.
Audubon Republican. [volume] (Audubon, Iowa) 1894-1925, 1898-08-11
escape.

Twas ever thus. Our regiments OF
volunteers have been clamoring to get
to the front. Good soldiers always pre-
fer active operations to the monoto-
nous routine of camp life. But camp
life is part of war, and to obey orders
aud do well what is required is an es-
sential part of soldiers duties. We
had rather see Iowa boys have to stay
at Jacksonville many weeks yet than to
be needlessly exposed one week to the
miasmic dangers lurking around some
of the Cuban cities that make them
pest holes. 1t is pitiable to see those
sturdy fellows dying ut Santiago. Our
authorities at Washington pretty near
ly know what they are doing, aud they
will send forward our regi ments when
they are needed TO accomplish military
results, and in the mean time they are
better off on American soil.

The scheme of a Kansas man to re-
mburse the Letters for the big loss sus-
tanned when wheat fell off, is one OF the
thinnest things ever suggested. The
Chicago papers doubtless take western
farmers generally for chumps, but they
are mistaken sometimes. Some farmers
gained by the inflated price, but buyers
and spectators also gained, and they
are not asked to divide. Letter was
specializing on his own account and for
his own benefit. IHe was not in it for
humanitarian reasons.

We wonder how many OF the good
positions on the ticket the democrats
of this county will give to the popu-
lists in order to get them to fuse. The
democrats would like the pops" to be
satisfied with capturing their platform
of principles and let them retain the
nominations for office. Last year the
democrats let Tom Coglin, a good pop
ulist, have the nomination for treasur-
er, but didn't support him as well
as they did the rest of the ticket.
