Dad Reed of the Mulvane Record,
thinks the present county Jail, or tie
cage thereof, is plenty good enough
to keep iOintistS, fOrgerS, wife heaters
and raplsts in. He argues that the
honest taxpayer doesn't need any
$40, 900 Jail, for the simple reason that
he does not expect to ornament the
inside Of it himself, and that that
money expended for bridges and like
improvements would much better
serve the public interests. Isn't it'
barely possible that our brothers hui
mainly bump hasn't been fully devei-
oped? May we not need bridges and
Il jail too? And il we do, is not Sum-
ner county able to build them botb?
The necessity OF a new Jail in Sumner
county has been pretty generally ad.
mitted for the past ten or twelve
years that we know of. 1t may be
that $4,000 is more than should be
expended for a Jail, (and We doubt
that but the peace and comfort OF all

they are removed through the natural
channels Of the law. According 10
the ideas Of the most civilized nations

be restrained and prosecuted; not
tortured or prosecuted. We are
strictly in favor of having a well built

Kansas Colored Troops to &c to Cuba

While sitting in Governor Leedy's
office Friday morning talking to his
excellency, Lieutenant Colonel James
Beck Of the Twenty-third regiment
Of Kansas colored volunteers, received
a telegram from Adjutant General
Corbin at Washington, ordering him
to leave Sunday by special train for
Santiago by way Of New York.
The troops are completely equipped
with the exception Of belts and KNAPP
sacks. These will be furnished them
on their arrival in New York.
On hearing that the troops were to
be sent to Santiago, Colonel Beck sent
out kilograms canceling all furlOughs
granted officers and men of the tive
battaliOns, and ordering them to at
once report at Camp Leedy. 1t is ex'
pected that all the absent soldiers
will be in camp by this afternoon.

and conquering him with the least pos
sible loss of men and ships. Bang away
at everything in sight. Whenever a
head shows up hit it. Open up the am
munition magazines. Give US a battle
every day for breakfast, a bombardment
for dinner and the wreck of an enemy's
feet for supper. Feed intellectual
appetites with lurid descriptions of mag
nifcent slaughters. Pull the plug out
of the blood reservoirs. Spatter the
horizon with remnants of the enemy's
anatomy. Crack the eternal heavens
with cannonading. Stifle the atmos-
phere with sulphurous smoke of battle
and fill the air with the din and rattle
of solid shot against the everlasting
hills. Cleave the ozone with a perpetual
rain of explosive shells. Put a war
vessel on the crest of every wave, a
battery on every hill top and a soldier
on every foot of territory and tell 'em all
to bang away at once and keep it up.
Give us a fast war with several runs
and half a dozen three base hits every
inning. Sound the hew-gag, thrum the
tuzzy.muzzy and beat the tom-tom!
Topple a mountain over into the green
water of the deep, deep sea and get up
on the resultant wave and screech. We
want a fast war and lots of it.

SENATOR HANsBRoUGH has received
notice from Land Commissioner Her
mann that the lands embraced in the
Turtle Mountain forest reserve of
North Dakota has been opened to
settlement and entry under the public
land laws. This reserve was created by
President Cleveland's order Of May 4,
1892, and Senator Hansbrough has been
working for a revocation of the order
for the last two years.. 1t has been
demonstrated that the reserve is OF no
practical value as a forest reserve and a
number of settlers have located and
made improvements there. The reser.
walton of the lands has caused inter.
minable trouble to. the settlers in the
vicinity and it is a matter of general
satisfaction that the order has been
revoked.

ling to permit Cuba and Porto Rico to
fall into our hands as the shortest way
Of ending the struggle and saving
further sacrifice of ships and men and
money. This policy appears the more
probable because. on the one hand,
Sagasta seems to have given up all hope
OF getting any help from France or
other powers; and, on the other hand,
the condition OF the government seems
to be n of concealed bankruptcy.
What Spain's financial needs are may
be inferred from the fact that the gov
eminent has commissioned the Bank Of
Spain to borrow 1,OOO,C 100000 pesetas
S2O0,00O, 00O) on 4 per cent bonds. The
bank itself appears to have virtually
discontinued it's advances to the treas
ury and a severe run for the redemption
OF it's notes in silver threatens it with
the suspension of specie payments,
when its notes would fall to a ruinous
depreciation. Under such conditions,
what prospectcan there be Of negotiating
the proposed loan? If the people
have come to distrust the bank
and demand the liquidation of it's notes,
what prospect is there of lending to the
government? And if the proposed AS
could be marketed, what would be the
receipts from the loan? The existing
As sell at about one-third of their par
value, SO that could a new issue be
marketed at about the same price,
which is highly improbable,-the pro-
ceeds would be only some $685. O0, 900 in
silver, OF less than half that amount in
gold. AS a contribution TO the costs of
such a war as Spain has undertaken
these results of the loan would be
ludicrously in%adequate; and from that
point of view who could be expected to
risk their money on such a venture? 1t
may safely be taken for granted that
the loan will prove an utter failure; and
if money is not to be had, the wal must
quickly end.

Now suppose, Mr.. Winship, it should

to have you ask Plumley what he knows
about this matter-would it rot strike
most people that the senator whose un-
enviable duty it seems to be to make
recommendations in Washington has
kept his pledge? Now after you have
seen Plumley in regard to this matter,
and a%scertained that Hansbrough did
not promise him the postofice at Fargo
will you be fair enough to state the
case as it is and not continue you,

IT now appears to be the opinion of
the officials of the government who have
most to do with the war that there is a
possibility after all that there may be
no invasion of the province of Havana
and no land or water attack on the city.
The capture Of Santiago, the capture or
destruction of Cervera's fleet and the
subjugation of Porto Rico, will, it is be-
lieved, show Spain the utter folly of
continuing the war and make her sue
for peace. The terms upon which that
will be granted are also pretty definitely
known and they are immediate and COM
plete abandonment by Spain of her
POSSESSIONS in the hemisphere, leaving
Cuba to the lei who have fought to
it and ceding Porto Rico to the United
States as war indemnity. The future of
Philippine islands is still in doubt.

North DAKOTA occupies the uniou,

North DAKOTA occupies the unique
position of a state which furnished
more men upon the first call for volun-
teers than would have tiled it's quota
upon the two calls for volunteers and
as a consequence the war department
will not ask the state for any more en-
listments under the second call.
Originally the war department called
upon the state for five troops of cavalry,
tue number of men apportioned to the
state being 461. The first order was
afterward changed and the state asked
for two battallions of infantry. These
were speedily secured from the national
guard of the state, and a total number
of 682 men were sent to the front. In
addition to this the state has furnished
nearly 200 c%avalrymen for special
mounted service so that the quota of
the state upon the first call was juot
about doubled by the enlistments. A
great number of companies that have
been organized will be disappointed to
learn that there will be no opportunity
to get to the front under the second
call as was expected, but they may take
heart of hope that the president will is
sue a third call as is nov under contem-
plation. But even in that event, there
are already enough applications before
the governor to exceed any quota
that is at all likely to be asked from the
state. It will therefore be next to i'm
possible to accommodate any more COM
panies that want to be recognized. 1t
is we'll enough for companies to be
formed for emergencies but there is lit
tie likelihood that any additional organ
%izations can be provided for from this
state. At the same time it is a source
of pride and congratulation that North
Dakota should have so periodically
respond to the call of the government
for soldiers.

A GLOWING crop report is that which
has just been issued by the American
Agricultural, relating to wheat acreage
and condition. The report states that
in the winter-wheat belt there is an ap-
parent increase of 10 per cent over last
years harvest area, and for the whole
breadth OF sp%ring-wheat territory the
consolidated estimates show an increase
over last years estimate of 17.3 per cent.
This makes the winter. wheat acreage
25,651,000 and spring wheat 1865, 900,
or a total of $4,000 acres, against &c.,
10000 acres in 1897. The excellent
weather conditions last fall, the high
price of wheat at that time, the still
higher price since, and the ideal
weather conditions under which seeding
was prosecuted, all conspired to urge
farmers, especially in the spripg-wheat
sections, to seed every possible acre.
With the exception of California, every
state in both the spring and winter
wheat belts has enjoyed an ideal season
up to date for plant development, and
the general conditional average is re-
markably high, that for winter-wheat
being placed at 9O.7 per cent and for
sp~ring-wheat at 99.1 per cent of a prac-
tically perfect condition at the time of
the report.

the railroad commissioners Of this state
have maintained. The court says in the
modification of it's decree: The gen.
eral question argued before us on
the original hearing was whether
the rates established by the Nebraska
statute, looking at them as entire, were
so unreasonably low as to prevent the
railroad companies from earning such
compensation as would be just, having
due regard to the rights of both the
public and the companies. In our en-
animation of that question it was ap-
propriate and necessary to inquire as to
the earnings of the respective companies
under the rates established by them,
looking at such rates as an entirety.
We do not intend by an affirmation of
the several DEGREES to adjudge that the
railroad companies should not at any
time in the future, if they saw proper,
reduce rates under which they were
conducting business at the time at
which the final DEGREES we're rendered,
nor that the state board of transporta-
ton should not reduce rates on specific
or particular articles below the rates
which the companies were charging on
such articles when the DEGREES were en-
tered. We did not pass judgment upon
the reaeonableness or unreasonableness
of the rates on any particular article
prescribed by the statute or by the rail-
road companies. If the state should by
statute or through its board of transpor-
tation prescribe a new schedule of rates
the question will arise whether such
rates, taking into consideration the
rights of the public as we'll as the rights
of the carriers, are consistent with the
principles announced by this court. Of
course, the reasonableness of a schedule
of rates must be determined by the facts
as they exist when such schedule is put
in force.
