Getting Al The Truth,

Some weeks ago. in making reference
to the general incapacity of Alger as
secretary Of war, the GRAPHIC made the
statement that the success of the Ameri-
can troops before Santiago was due not
to Grant In the field and a Stanton in
the White House but to the dash and
bravery of tho individual soldier and
noE-commissioned officers. Subsequent
developments prove the truth Of it.
Secretary Alger has received personal re-
ports from officers who took part in the
Santiago campaign. These officers have
told some home truths and this Is what
they report. I. Lack of generalship.
2. Inexperienced staff officers. 8. Ig-
norance Of volunteer officers. The fight
at Santiago is alleged to have been car
ried on by captains. lieutenants and en-
listed men without more than general
scheme to get there. This lack Of gener-
alship resulted IN fatal delays in the
artillery train. At times the troops
were driven to the point OF desperation
and he'd the proposition to retreat been
adopted. as it nearly was at one time, a
large part Of Gen. Skaters command
would have been annihilated.

Cancer often results from, an i'm.

generations back. Few people are en-

and it is impossible to tell when it will
break out in the form Of dreaded Cam

there were men right at the ringside to

What will yol do in regard TO any
challenge that shorkey or Corbett may
send in your direction2"
DOT said Fitz, "fm do nothing. I'll
pay no attention TO either one. They have
put themselves further ayaw from any
attention from me than ever Let them
go and get a reputation. There Is Peter

The purpose Of the Beacon IN the

OF the Democratic party. Ie will never
turn a hairs breadth from this line.
To this end the Beacon will insist upon
a complete organization of the party
in this county, and a campaign in 900
upon stri 'tly party lines There are
many men in the county who left the
Democratic party under Clevelandism
who are now ready to return to the
fold. and who will be found valuable
workers in our ranks in the future IL
we make no mistakes. Let every Dem
ocrst in the county organize himself
into a committee of one, pull off his
coat, roll up his sleeves and go 10 work
on these lines, and in 1900 old Washita
will roll up 900 Democratic ma jority.
Cloud Chief Beacon.
The Beacon talks good, sound Dem
ocratic sense. The principles and
achievements of the Democratic party
are imperishable, and vii live as long
as free government endures on this
western hemisphere. It's cardinal
principles we're planted in this country
by Jefferson and watered and nur-
tured by 3 Jackson, and consecrated
by the noblest patriots Of the grandest
country on earth. The sting of death
was taken away from it at its birth,
and therefore there is no death in IT,.
Single handed and alone 1t has tri-
umphed over its enemies single
handed and alone it has gone down in
defeat, but never in dishonor, From
the ashes of defeat IL has come forth
again defiant and resolute, and ready
to renew the struggle for the right and
for the people When it trusted alone
in its innate strength and the grand
principles on which it is founded and
the glories won in it's struggles of the
past, victories were achieved, and victo-
ries will perch upon its immortal ban
ner again when 1t calls upon the people
TO rally around the old standard.

THE UNITED States IN THE ORIENT


With the acquisition of the Philip
pines the United States will have a
chain of possessions reaching almost
to China. First is Hawaii, while
Guam, one Of the Lsdrone group, ear
ries the western outpost TO within
/ 800 miles OF the Philippines, and
with the latter our possessions reach
in the Orient to within GOO miles of
Hong Kong.
One year ago not single American
statesman could have been induced to
harbor the thought that the United
States would ever at the remotest
period in the future enter upon the ac-
quisition Of territory in the Orient, and
this sudden and unlooked-for event is
SO surprising that it is only natural
that many Of our wisest statesmen re-
gard the whole matter with doubt and
misgiving. There can be no question
Of the fact that the possession of these
islands, with Hawaii and Porto Rico, is
forcing the United States to the front
as great and dominating maritime
power, and sin the near future she
must form cne OF the powers in the
settlement Of questions affecting the
interests of the continent of Europe.

FREE HOMES BILL.-.IT MUST BE A
GENERAL BILL

Since the question of who is to rep
resent the territory in congress for the
next two years after March the 4th il
settled, we would like to have 1t an
swered cAndidly and honestly whether
any intelligent and practical man en-
tertains the belief that Dennis Flynn
or any other man can or will ever get
free homes for the people OF Oklaho-
ma on the lines Of either the Flynn or
the Callahan billsP
For one we do not believe and never
did believe that any free homes bill
could ever be passed through congress
that was not general in it's nature
This is the sober truth and IL is far
better to state the sober truth than to
undertake to fool the people with the
hope of that which is a practical Inn
possibility. Free homes can never be
secured for the people Of ,oklahoma
without including the other territor.
les, excepting, perhaps, Alaska.
What would the people of this terri
tory think Of congress which would
grant free homes to the people Of Ar
izona or New Mexico and deny them
to the people Of Oklahoma
This is a plain but practical state
ment OF the situation. and we repeat
that the Hon. Dennis Flynn. nor Pres
ident Mckinley himself IL he were TO
ask OF congress such thing, could Sc
cure the passage Of law granting fee
homes to Oklahoma and denying them
to the people Of other territories.
While we believe this to be true and
think the sober, practical mind OF the
people will agree with us, we believe
with equal confidence that free homes
caH be secured through the passage OF
bill general In its nature and opera
tions. The LEADER has been earnest
and persistent in its demand for free
home for more than Ave years, and is
none the less persistent today, and
while 1t will rejoice with the people in
the boon of free homes on any condi
tionS, 1t recognizes the utter imprac
ticAbility Of getting through congress
