those changes noticed in the politics of
the United States.
In the early days of the civil war,
when the credit of the government was
low and money badly needed, Secretary
Chase proposed to issue g%reenbacks for
the purpose of furnishing a circulation
medium and the means for paying the
obligations of the government. When
the bill for this financial measure went
to congress every Democrat in the house
and almost every Democrat in the sen
ate voted against it. However, the
measure was passed, and from that day
to this the Democrats have denounced
the Republicans for paying the soldiers
and common creditors in a deprecated
currency, and afterwards resuming spe-
Gle payment, thus allowing the holders
of government bonds issued at almost the
same time that greenbacks were incor-
porated into the financial system of the
country, to reap a large profit. Such
was and has been the position OF the
Democratic party up to the past four
years.
Another war is in progress and tho
government stands in need of money.
A wal revenue Measure is before con
gress and the Democrats in both the
house and senate are shouting them
selves hoarse for the issue of moro
greenbacks to be used in paying off thu
soldiers and for the purchase of sup
plies. As the advocates of fiat money
pure and simple, the Democrats have
forgotten that they once loved the ole
soldier and wept over his unjust treat
ment when greenbacks were used tC
pay him in the Cos. The latter day be

A congressional election is near a
| hand and the Democrats will again IT,
to secure control of the legislativ
branch of the government for the pur
pose of issuing greenbacks in almos
unlimited quantities to pay soldiers an
contractors.

Speaking of Fish Stories.

"In our part Of the states" said the
far wester, 1--WE have a salmon river
which is fed from some boiling springs,
As the fish work up the river they en-
counter the warmer water, but SO grad
ually that they become acclimatized, as
it were, and feel no Inconvenience from
the increasing heat-so much SO, in fact,
that when we 60 fishing in the highest
reaches we catch them ready boiledl"
"You don't say! Well, now" chimed
in the Canadian, 'that reminds me that
in our part Of the world we have a salm-
on river which has its rise i'll some
tin mines. AS the fish work up they
meet the suspended ore in such gradual"
ly increasing quantities that they get
quite used to it, and by the time they

QUEER PENSION LETTERS.

Humorous Epistles That Are Now and
Then Received In Washington.
Agood many queer letters are received
at the pension office, nearly all of which
are tucked away in the files which con-
tain papers relating to 1000, 600 cases.
Some time ago a widow who had
worked hard to get q pension became
possessed of the idea that the postmls'
tress Of her town was her enemy. Here
is the letter she wrote the commissioner
of pensions:
Il wan tel ye how old sojers widows
are treted by our Redhede4 postmistris
she are only fourth class anyhow, and
keeps a stoar redenge all the postal cards
g. lettors too, WITCH we can't not get our
papers tel she have the same rid her
self. She repoarts to Com. Pensions that
my husben died of devilment wich are
J a lie he die of the army an he war more
piouser then our Redheded postmistris. !"
A Kansas man writes the pension
Office the following:
81 see by the newspapers that you
say you are going to try to get congress
to put a stop to the present opportunl-
ties which the law offers to women to
secure pensions for life from the United
States by marrying an old soldier. What
the devil do you mean, sir? Do you
want to lose your scalp? OF course You
will be opposed. We were assured last
fall that in case of McKinley's election
that his administration would be friend,
ly to the old vets, and now you propose
to deprive many of us of our only chance
Of helping to perpetuate a race OF he
roes' and the pleasure of eventually be.
ing petted to death by a nice young
woman. Do you think the people will
tolerate such an outrage?
''But, my dear sir, if you must recon-
mend such a law can't you make AL ex-
ception of old bachelors-that's q good
boy. Two of my near %neighbors and
myself settled here in the wilderness at
the close Of the war, and when the
country became settled ten years later
we had lost our grip l a am 55 years
old, and the other fellows are past 30.
"And now, oh, comrade, do not, ]
pray thee, attempt to deprive us of our
only hope Of ever securing the consola.
ton so necessary to gladden. our declin'
ing years, for of course you know there
is nothing about old fellows like our.
selves to induce young ONE to marry
us if they cannot get a pepsion!'-

City and Harb0r Of Santiago de Cuba.

Official intelligence from Cuba settles
for all time the veXatious question of,
"Where is the Spanish fleet? by stating
that Admiral Cervera and his warships
are shut up in the harbor of Santiago de
Cuba, where he can neither get ont nor
get coal for his vessels.
nothing more or less than a bay about
six miles long, but quite deep and mar
row, the entrance being about 800
feet wide through a tortuous passage
leading from the sea to the har-
Dor proper. The narrow entrance has
been made narrower by the Spanish in
order to prevent the entrance of unwel-
coined ships by depositing artificial OBJ
struetions until the p%assageway is now
only about 100 feet wide. This en-
trance to the harbor is guarded by
four forts which were at one time
considered quite formidable, and the
channel Is undermined with torpedoes
and submarine explosives. 1t is sup
posed from what can be learned
from the position of the Spanish fleet,
that it is anchored up the bay about four
miles from the entrance, and OF account
Of the high hills which rise from almost
the waters edge, is hidden from sight
and in that manner protected from any
bombardment by vessels from the out
side.
While the Spaniards have been sue
cessful in making the harbor almost I'M
~pregnable, they also made it a veritable
trap, in which their fleet is now bottled
up beyond all hope of escape. Two or
three warships from the American navy
can hold the Spanish fleet in the harbor
until the crack Of doom, if it should be
necessary, and if it should prove i'm
practical for the American feet to enter
the bay to give battle, nothing will be
gained by the Spanish-they can not get
out and will have to surrender or starve.
Consequently the Spanish Armada is
practically disposed of and will give no
more trouble to the navy and army of
the United States.
The city of Santiago de Cuba has a
population of over 40, 900, or had at the
time the instruction broke out on the
island three years ago, and it is situated
about five miles from the entrance of
the harbor. 1t is surrounded on three
sides by rugged mountains, which to a
large extent shut it off from the
interior, is very picturesque but subject
to epidemics of yellow fever because of
the lack of drainage and sanitation.
The houses are generally low, but well
built and there are fine public parks and
several buildings OF note. 1t is the cen
ter of the Cuban copper region, and the
exports from the port are sugar, rum,
coffee, fruits and copper. At present 1t
is cut off from all communication with
the interior by the insurgent forces, and
with the American fleet guarding the
entrance to the harbor, it can not stand
out against a seige for long.
Such is the city and bay which will
0 become an American shipping
point and the national resources of the
surrounding country will prove some
thing wonderful under q peaceful gov
eminent and Yankee enterprise and
push, which will seek openings there so
soon as the war is ended.
