Logan Nation: 1t is to be deeply re-
GREETED that so ,feW-Rspubiicans answered
the call for the Republican county con-
vention last Wednesday. Various reasons
are assigned for the apathy shown, chief
of which is, of course, the busy season
of the year in which the convention was
called. A-Cdin, the Republicans feel lit
tie hope of gaining in Cache, and as only
one candidate was to be put up, it was
thought by many delegates that it was
scarcely worth while to leave their work
to attend.

Ephraim Enterprise: The capture of
Manila by Admiral Dewey's fleet
has sprung a new issue upon the
American people; an issue that gains
strength as the days go by, an

1t is contended on the one side that there
is a war of humanity and not OF con-

be more humanitarian than to take the

Spanish oppressor and sheltering them be-
meath the protecting folds of Old Glory.
Sanpete Democrat: To speak a word
against the government bond scheme at
once gives our gold-belt newspa Ders a
pain, and they cry out, ''Traitori' Trait

fact that the bonds are most excellent

COMMENTS OF THE PRESS.

st. Louis Globe-Democrat There is no
politics IN the present war. democrats
the goldbug and the bimetallist stand
shoulder to shoulder, and even the Popu-
lists are enlisting more men than they
did in 1896.
Cincinnati Enquirer: Some of the mer-
curial French journalists are still insist
| ing that Germany is going to interfere
| in the disposition of the Philippine
islands There is such straining now for
anything that may possibly turn out TO be
news that it is easy for the widest sort
of rumors as to the intentions of the
fugacious German emperor TO get into
print; but the solid fact remains that
Germany IS now more industriousiy en-
gagged in the effort to absorb the trade of
other countries than in the acquisition
of territory.
Denver. Republican,: If the United
States should establish Independent gov
ernments in the Philippines and Cuba
with present protectorate and special
! trade favors, those islands, now strong
users exclusively If, with the single gold
standard firmly fixed in the United
States as the result of the killing of BIZ
metallism by Imperialism, those islands
the gold standard would be fixed upon
them also, and hope of the worlds adj
vance toward bimetallisni would be
checked.
Butte Miner: The apparent slowness of
operations on the part of this govern
ment since the war began and the fact
that there have been no big land battles
in fact no battles worth calling s-ch eX-
cept Manila-has prompted the remark in
several quarters that the American forces
needed a man OF the energy of Napoleon
to push the campaign. 1t looks as though
the only American land force at the actual
seat OF war had q leader with those very
necessary qualifications. General Shafter
has thus far shown himself the right
man in the right place. The American
people yill await with calmneSs the out
come of the attack on Santiago. con-
ndent that the man in command knows
his business and will make that outcome
, one which may convince Spain that her
cause is hopeless.
Helena Independent: The problem in
other lines than those of conquest and
possession, and a happy solution will be
presented if it iss proven the people are
capable of self-government, under the
fostering care of the United States. The
ability shown by General Aguinaldo and
the admirable conduct of his forces give
promise of good results in this direction.
If we can plant the seeds of liberty and
independence in these islands of the Pa
cific and nurture them to full growth
it will be an accomplishment worthy of
the country of Washington, Jefferson and
Monroe; but to seize them by force and
carry them as assets of the government
for purposes of prc1t or ACKNOWLEDGMENT
would be contrary to every principle and
aspiration of the republic.

PROVIDING FOR Ex-PRESIDENTS.
What Montana Man Thinks Should
Be Done With Them.

New York. Jan. 4-E. L. Bonner Of
Montana, in the course of a CONVERSE
ton, made the suggestion last night
that ever eX-Dresident of the United
States should be sent TO the senate. Mr..
Bonner, who is on his way 10 Italy, and
one of the wealthiest citizens of Mon
tana, where he has large mining, agri-
cultural and industrial interests, said:
There is one thing that should be
settled. and that is the term of presi-
dents and the treatment of them when
their terms expire. 1 thing a president
ought to be elected for a term of eight
years, and then be ineligible for re-
election. Upon his retirement, 1 think
he should be placed upon q pension
equal to one-half the salary he drew
as president

ABOUT MRS. GRIFFITH.
Her Part In Politics and the Indig-
mites offered Her.

Columbus, Jan. A signed state
ment was given out tonight by Mr..
George McPeck, a neighbor and per-
sOnal friend of Representative Grit
fifth of Marysville, Union county, in re-
gard to the Griffith statement that his
wife had received indignities from Mr..
Hanna and his friends.
He states that during the all night
conference at the Neil House on Sun
day night between Griffith and the
Hanna leaders, Griffith requested that
Mrs. Griffith, who has been stopping
at another hotel, be sent for. Acting
upon this request Mr.. McPeck says,
he and Mr.. Chapman secured a cab and
took Mrs. Griffith to the Neil House.
Continuing Mr. McPeck says:
"Mr Chapman accompanied her to
her room. Afterwards he came to room
10, where her husband was. Her hus-
band returned to the Great Southern
Hotel and left her in room Is in COM
pany with Mr.. Chapman and Jerry p.
Bliss AS Mr.. Bliss did not seem in
clined to leave her room and give her
a chance to retire, we invited her into
the public reception room, with the eX-
pectation that Mr.. Bliss would then
leave the room. l also had some con-
versation at the same time. AT all
times while at the Neil House, Mrs.
Griffith received the most courteous
treatment on the part of Senator
Hanna and all his friends.
L will say further, that for many
years past the relations between Mr..
Griffith's family and Mr.. Chapm's.l Il q
myself and our families have been of
a very cordial character and that Mr..
Chapman and myself have been very
warm personal and political friends OF
Mr.. Griffith and if any indignity had
been offered to Mrs. Griffith by any
person, while she was in our presence,
we would have resented it. 1t is not
reasonable to suppose that Senator
Hanna or any of his friends would offer
any indignity to any lady, especially

SENATOR BURKE'S POSITION.
Will Keep His Pledge and Vote For
Hanna. IT'S Said.

Columbus, O., Jan. 4.-Judge Frank
Dullenbaugh of Cleveland tonight gave
a statement to the public, in which he
says: so
Il am prepared to say as coming from
the lips of Senator Burke that he will
faithfully keep every pledge and every
promise he made to the good people of
Cuyahoga county, either on or off the
stump last campaign. Furthermore,
Mr.. Burke's vote in compliance with the
wishes of the people of Cuyahoga
county and the state at large, will be
cast for M. A. Hanna for senator.
Mr.. Burke has shown himself to be
big enough to rise above his personal
likes and dislikes, and keep his pledge
to vote for Mr.. Hanna. l have always
believed that Mr.. Burke will be pre-
cisely and exactly what he says he will
do. 1 have always found him to be an
honorable gentleman, and therefore
never at any time had any doubt as to
the course he would pursue in this mat
ter, and therefore believed that he
would faithfully comply with the
wishes and desires of his constituents
as expressed at the polls in November"
Senator Burke is the Republican who,
by remaining away, permitted the
Democrats to organize the senate. He
arrived in the city today and took his
seat in the senate.

CAUCUS UNNECESSARY.
Hanna Steering Committee So Pub
licly Declare.

Columbus, O., Jan. A surprise was
created this afternoon by the announce
ment that the Hanna men had changed
their plan for a joint senatorial Repub
lican caucus tomorrow, but the fight
will go on without any caucus DEGREES
on either side. The following was
given out this afternoon by the Re
publican steering committee:
THE sentiment of the house and SEN
ate, as expressed to the chairmen of
the two Republican caucuses, is that
it is unnecessary to call a senatorial
caucus. The universal expression is
that, as Mr.. Hanna has been endorsed
by the Toledo convention and by the
county conventions to the state, and
was named by the people in their pri-
mary capacity at the polls, it is more
cept their action as conclusive, in ac-
cordance with the precedent of two
years ago, than to supplement it by
formal nomination of their own. No
caucus will, therefore, be called
This announcement caused as much
stir as the result Of the caucuses last
Saturday night, and more than the
organization of the legislature by the
combine yesterday The opponents of
Senator Hanna insisted that the Han
ma men were afraid to show their
hands again, and that the result in
joint caucus would be the same as in
the separate caucuses.
At the Hanna headquarters the an
nouncement was received with appar-
ent satisfaction. MessrS. Dick, Nash
Grosvenor, Brigham and all those close
to the senator, approved of the action
of the Republican members of the leg
islature in withdrawing the caucus call
and simply standing on the plank for
Hanna in the last Republican state
platform. The Hanna men claim that
several Republican members who voted
for Mason for speaker, have today
pledged themselves to Hanna, and that
they do not want the combine" with
which they have been associated to
know of their action in the senatorial
contest until the balloting begins, one
week hence. It is evident the Hanna
men will not compromise on Secretary
Sherman, Assistant Secretary Day or
any other one, and that they will not
show either their strength or their
weakness until the balloting begins
next week. There will be daily and
nightly conferences, but no more eau
