Since that time Sampson with his fleet has been idly moving around in southern waters and has accom- plisbed nothing. In the meantime SchIey has been kept-idle and has accomplished nothing. And so it has been since the beginning of the war. Give Sampson instructions similar to those given Dewey, let him be free and unfettered, and we will vouch for il that he will make short work of that Spanish Cape Verde fleet.

IF Sampson was not handicapped by the Naval Strategy Board,
 more could be expected of him. Dewey's great victory is due to the fact that he was beyond the reach of Washington. Could the "Strat- egy Board have reached him after be left Hong Kong, that august body of know-it-alls would proba bly, have called him off before he reached Manila. Nothing has been more vascillating and indeeisive than the conduct at Washington, One day Sampson is ordered somewhere and the next day he is ordered some where else; troops are ordered to move to Cuba one day and the next the invasion is indefinitely post poned, and so it has been from the beginning of the war. Those in authority seem to be divided and the result of their division is inde- cision, inactivity and do.nothing

 Correct, and had the Democratic County Central Committee needed a resolution passed at candidates meeting to allow each candidate to have a representative present at each polling place ln the county to witness the counting of the ballots, there would not now be in this county cries of fraud. But that frauds were committed Is already matter of evidence and common notoriety. In our opinion, how ever, the Democratic County Ger tral Committee will straighten things out and rectify all wrongs when it meets on June the 1st, and administer a fitting and proper re- buke to those who would prostitute the sacred ballot of the people.

Porto Rico.

II the United States should wage q war of conquest and acquisition against Spaiu-whieh, of course, is contrary to our traditional national poIicy-Porto Rico wouie offer an even richer prize than Cuba.
 The material resources and social conditions in Porto Rico are super for to those of Cuba. Though only about one. seventh of the population can read and write, according to the last census Of the island, yet much greater proportion is white than in Cuba. This condition, it is general Y conceded, offers it's better pros pect for the evolution Of an enlight- ened citizenship, as well as for the development of material wealth, than is offered by population whose blood is largely African.
 Thought it's area is only about one-tenth that of Cuba, Porto Rico has a population at present of ap- proximately one million, which is only half million less than that which the large island possessed at the outbreak of the revolution now apparently drawing to close.
 Porto Rico is of about the size of Delaware and Rhode Island com hned. The population of Delaware is 197, TOO and that of Rhode Island 399, SIS. These are among the most densley populated States in the Union. A similar rule of com parison shows Cuba to be about the size of Tennessee, whose population is less than two million. In other words, Cuba, under normal condi- tions, has been supporting a popu- lation less that that of Tennessee, one of the most productive com munities in this country, while Porto Rico supports population more than twice as large as that of Delaware ard Rhode Island com bined.
 That our navy will dislodge Spain from Porto Rico as military neces- sity at the outbreak of hostilities is foregone conelusion-provided, of course, dlslodgment can be accom- plished, and experts do not enter tain doubts on that point. During the past three years Spain has sent total of about forty thousand troops to the island ir different de- taehments. This force, it is sad, has been reduced, through one cause and another, to five thousand. Such a force could not render efee- tive aid to the Spanish navy in re- sisting attack by the United States. What to do with the island after hostilities cease in question which has not yet aroused much discus sion in goYernmen tai circles, but it is one which will cause serious con sideratioa before final disposition is made.-St Louis Republic
