Nav Fiie Proteet.

washington, Oct 1O.-The United
States may submit diplomatic pro-
test to Spain through the French gov
eminent against its action in sending
Spanish auxiliary cruiser loaded with
arms and ammunition to the Philip
pines. In any event, the matter is
under consideration and It Is believed
has been called to the attention Of the
American commissioners in Paris. The
cruiser in question is the Buenos
Ayres, belonging to the Spanish auxil-
larry navy. which Admiral Dewey re-
ported to the navy department sew
eraI days ago. is due to arrive at Sing

The people of this Independent

interested in the selection of its
School Board. The schools under
the management of the present
board are not what they should
have been, and parents should
now see to it that board is elect
ed that will give attention to the
schools, and bring them up to a
much better standard than exists
now. In another column we give
the Democratic nominees for the

The gold bug press are claiming
that the State convention of New
Jersey declared against the Chica-
90 platform. This is an evidence
that they are afraid to let the peo-
pie know the truth. New Jersey
nominated for governor a man who
voted for every line of the Chicago
platform and its candidate, and
the platform endorsed the position
of the Democratic party on all ma
tional issues. Every candidate
nominated for Congress in the
State stands on the Chicago plat
form, and they are the strongest

can get any comfort out of faIsify-

RadIY Scared.

Philadelphia Ledger, Republican.
The heavy load of Algerism is
threatening the Republican con-
gressional ticket in many parts of
the country. IT is reported that
the Republican party managers
are awakening to the danger of de-
feat, and are sending appeals and
warnings in all directions that
great diligence and watohfulness
must be exercised to avert disaster.
Unfortunately, while they recog-
nize the risk of defeat, the polit-
icaI managers refuse to see what is
plainly apparent to everyone else,
that the only hope for salvation is
for them to insist ON the dismissal
of the present incompetent Score
tary of War, for, not to save his
best friend could the incumbent
be induced to resign of his own
accord. To cling to Alger is to
invite defeat, to be rid of him
promptly is to strengthen the
chance of success.

Nv AooNAOs
MoundsvilIe Echo.
The Wheeling Intelligencer and
other blind partisan Republican
organs keep harping on the string
that the Democrats are left with
out issue to fight the campaign on.
The real issue with the Republican
leaders is how much of the Demo
cratic issue they can evade. They
have the conduct of the war to ac-
count for, the Democratic party
forced them into it, but by their
blind partisan greed they relieved
the Democratic party of all respon-
sibiIity, and now have to account
for all the blunders of the admins
tration in the destruction by dis
ease and Generalization of the fin
est army ever recruited. A $780,
100000 unnecessary bond issue
thereby contracting the currenry
of the country for the benefit of
the money power has to be ac-
counted for. The failure of the
Dingley bill to keep down deficit
in the national treasury has to be
accounted for. The creation of the
stamp law which they promise to
continue as a national revenue
creator in time of peace, has to be
answered for. Yet with all the
stupendous blunders of the party
in power, they have the effrontery
to say that the Democratic party is
without an issue.
