TONES of the DaV.

Now that war IS actually upon us
and it is definitely known that the
brunt of the great conflict will be
fought in and about Cuba, the in
terest of the American reading public
naturally centers in accounts Of the
country to which our men are
marching, and from which many will
never return. The dangers Of guer-
rilla warfare in the Cuban jungles,
where the stealthy bushwhackers are
trained to fight out of sight, are
most interestingly set forth in the
August Demoreot's in the leading
article, "a Guerrilla Eden" 1t is an
article that Will interest every soldier
in the United States army and the
friends of every soldier. There are
some excellent photographs of this
guerrilla country, showing our men
IN action in the palm jungles.
A fine collection of photographs OF
men prominent in the Spanish-Ameri-
can war is furnished, including the
latest and best portraits of HObson,
the hero Of the Merrimac, and of the
Cuban patriots, Gomez and Maceo.
Cooling for 1898" is the second OF
a series of articles on outdoor
sports. 1t covers the ground Ell
quette and good form on the links.
It will be followed from month to
month by interesting authoritative
articles on the various American

Sues for Peace,

Yesterday Spain made formal
proposition to the United States gov
eminent, through the French ambas-
sador, the main purpose of which is
10 end the war and arrive at terms Of
peace. The Spanish government did
not suggest any specific terms Of
peace, nor make any reference to the
disposition Of Cuba, Porto Rico, the
Philippines or other Spanish possess
sions. No desire for an armistice
pending peace negotiations was ex-
pressed, but it is quite likely one will
5e granted. Following the presenta-
Gion of the proposition to President
Mckinley, a cabinet meeting was held
at which it was practically determined
TO accept 6hp offer and open negotia-
CIOns for a settlement of the war.
Upon what basis such settlement will
be made cannot be stated DIS yet, but
it would seem that the United States
has so much the advantage that we
shall be able to dictate terms. There
Is no doubt that an ending of the war
would begeneralIy approved through
out the country, and our people may
we'll be assured that President Nc
KinIey viii prosecute digniied set
element that will be just to all con-
cerned and at the same time be sufi-
cient compensation for the great ex-
Dense and sacrifice the nation has
endured in engagingin the noble cause
that now seems drawing to q close.

ScOfield and La Toilette.

In referring to the gubernatorial
contest, The Milwaukee Sentinel
utters these truths:
Mr.. La Toilette says that he does
not enter the field "to urge fac
tional fight and that he has no enc
mics to punish" Mr.. La Toilette
will do we'll to bear this in mind.
Some Of MS friends, and some of his
newspaper organs certainly have not
taken this position. They have
made wholly unwarranted attacks
on Governor Scotield and have cir
culated charges which are not true.
Governor Scofeld has not been a
factional governor. He has not
used the influence of his position to
promote private end or to prevent
desirable legislation. He is not re-
sponsible for the failures of the legis-
lature. Fair-minded people know
all this and they Will resent such
methods of political warfare just as
they will resent exaggerated attacks
on Mr.. La Toilette by Governor
Scofeld's unwise friends.
Let Mr.. La Toilette keep these
facts in mind. He has a right to be
a candidate TT Office and to use all
honorable means 8. acc 0mplish his
ambition. The 1,1CO d e yates in
the Republican State convention
next month may well be trusted to
reflect the party sentiment in the
state and to decide between the two
candidates. Either one TO be elected
will need the votes Of both ScOtield
and La Toilette Republicans, and
because some Repu blicans have used
their political influence to promote
private ends, Mr.. La Foil TT will do
we'll to rem9u1s54 TIA Governor
| Scofeld is not onesof these; that he
has done his duty as he has seen
it; that his administration has been
honest and efficient; that his mis-
takes have not been serious; and
| that if he has not talked as loudly
or as frequently as Mr.. La Toilette,
! his public utterances have been such
as to commend him to the people
who elected him to office by the larg-
est majority ever given a governor
! In Wisconsin.

Jefferson Notes.

Mrs. Henry WOllering and daughter,
Lilly, of Chicago, are guests at the
residence of Mr.. and Mrs. A. j. Weis.
B. Foley, after remaining at West
Superior for some time, is now holding
a good position at the Clarendon hotel
in ST. Paul.
Mr.. and Mrs 0. E. Meyer, who for
nearly a year made this city their
home, left Tuesday for Rome, where
they will visit for a short time and
then take up their residence in Mil
waulee.
a. r. Bechaud, the present mayor
Of this city, is a candidate for the Dem
ocratic nomination for congressman of
this district. Mr.. Bechaud's friends
urge that Jefferson county is entitled
to the nomination, that the candidate,
in order to win, should be a German,
and they will make d determined effort
to secure the nomination for him.
Jefferson has an aspirant for honors
on the Democratic state ticket. o. j.
Kerschensteiner will seek the nomina-
ton for insurance commissioner. He
has for many years been identified with
insurance work, and his friends will
urge that this county oughtto be repre-
sented on the ticket. Otto is a capable
young man, and should he be- nomi-
mated and elected, we believe he would
perform the duties of the office to the
satisfaction of the public Banner.

His opponents should state the facts
as the records of the legislature give
them. They should not tell half the
truth.
These facts are that the governor
held that the bills were not passed
in the manner provided for by the
constitution and were therefore void,
and that he further earnestly urged
the legislature to pass the bills in a
proper way.
The constitution provides that
bills imposing tax should bepassed
by a yea and nay vote in each house.
These bills were not so passed. If a
license in lieu of tax, and for pur-
poses Of revenue, is a tax in the mean
ing of the constitution, then Governor
Scofield's contention was right. K.
K. KEENAN,, Of this city, a lawyer who
has long made special study of tax
questions and tax laws, quotes in
another column decisions Of the
state supreme court and authorities
on taxation which certainly are
sufficient to show that the grounds
of Governor Scofeld's objections to
the bills were we'll founded. The gov
ernor in his veto message on the Elk
press bill said: 81 desire to call your
attention to the Importance Of this
measure and also to that of bill No.
619A, and to urge upon you the
necessity for properly enacting both
bills before the adjournment OF this
session. If we are to maintain in
the state righteous system Of taxa
ton, it is necessary that we see to it
that large corporations doing busi-
ness in the state within our borders
and receiving without discrimination
or stint the full protection of our
laws shall not escape paying their
just share of the expenses of govern
ment"
The opposition to Governor SEQ
field will not be strengthened by
misrepresentation of the facts re-
garding his position as to the taxa
ton Of these corporations, by the
statement OF half truths which are
often more despicabIe than downright
Observation-Disclosures Sentinel.

Much is being made by the oppo-
nents of Governor Scofeld of his
vetoes Of the Express and Sleeping
Car Tax bills. The reason for these
vetoes is much more important than
She vetoes themselves. Mere charges
shat the governor is shown to be too
friendly to corporations by these

When a man has a change

When a man has a chance
to escape from prison he
doesn't stop to argue about
it; he breaks out as quickly
as ever he can. He knows
that every moments delay
may lessen his chances of es-
cape; but when a IMAM is sick
he too often postpones his
opportunity of getting we'll
and says: 90, perhaps I'll
be better next week" or
next month. "
The weeks and months go
on and every day his chance
of escaping from the dungeon
of disease grows smaller.

covery" originated by DR..
R.V. Pierce, of Buffalo, NY,

for hours with terrible losses.
Admiral Grau was killed in the
connlngtower; a commander who
succeeded him was slain and the
Lieutenant who followed was shot
down by marine in a Gillian ship
which lay alongside. The carnage
and slaughter were fearful, but the
few remaining Peruvians resisted
boarding party until overpowered
and then it was discovered that
the chief engineer of the Huascar
had scuttled his ship, though the
victors managed to save it. This
was the most famous engagement
of the war, but in a previous one
when a CHILEAN ship was sunk the
crew resisted rescue By the Peru
VANS, stabbing them with their
knives. Over half submitted to
drowning rather than capture.
These people were practically
Spaniards, and probably fought no
better than Spaniards will fight.
There can be no doubt of the
issue of the war with Spain, but it
is well not to be too sanguine at
the start. In this struggle be-
tween Chill and Peru the result
was perhaps decided by the acct
dental sinking of the Peru Wan
iron-clad Independence, which was
decoyed into shallow water by a
Gillian Corvette and wrecked
while Admiral Grau was winning a
brilliant victory with the Huascar
Accident may give the Spanish the
advantage in the first battle and
then our enthusiastic Americans
may find themselves in much the
same condition as were the Wash
ington authorities after the first
Bull Run. 1t is better to be pre-
pared for temporary reverses,
though sure of ultimate victory.
We have the righteous cause and
are thrice armed in that at any
rate.

In the GRAPHIo's opinion, it would
be very unwise thing to recognize
the independence of Cuba in connec-
ton with resolution authorizing
the President to intervene with the
army and navy, The Cubans have
no stable government; they have
only Junta, If independence
should berecognized, then the Amer
lean army would be practically un-
der the control of Gen. Gomez, and
no peace treaty could be established
without the consent of the Cubans.
The United States should not be put
in that attitude. The Americans
should be left to deal with the Span
iards unhampered by the Junta.

SINCE 80 per cent of our export
trade is transported in foreign bot
toms, war with Spain could not do
much damage to American COM

in the event of war between the two
nations, that neither would seize
goods of the other on board of a

The spaniards as Fighters.

The Courier-Journal, under the
above caption, says:
1t is well not to go into war with
Spain under the supposition that it
is to be a walkover for our navy.
The Spaniards, in the first place,
have been fighting for three years
and are thus experienced in war;
in the second place, the Latins are
as much fighting race as the
AngIo-Saxons. During the last
hundred years Spain has been en-
gagged in war for sixty years, and
there is much in such experience.
Her mariners are recruited from
her sea coast population and are
skillful sailors as well as brave
men.
We can gain some idea of the
desperate courage with which the
Latins fight by recalling the his
tory of the naval struggle between
Peru aud Chill liz 1879. No more
determination or bravery was ever
displayed. The Peruvian iron
clad Huascar, after brilliant
predatory expedition that lasted
for three months, was returning
home to refit and repair under
command of Admiral Grau. On
the 8th. of October he sighted a
Chilian fleet containing two iron
clads, and after vain attempt TO
escape, fought them single,banded
