II SHAME.

Although it is called 4treason- by
the Administration organs to say so,
while the brave American soldiers

their country during the war with
SPAN, rascally American contractors
were making that same wal IL fruit.
full opportunity to rob the Govern
ment. Investigation which was not
quito stiiied, in spite OF the men in
high places to whose dirty fingers
stuck the blood.stained money, the
price OF American lives on the field
OF battle, showed that no chance was
lost to turn a dishonest penny, or pay
a political obligation by placing the
shoulderstraps upon rich or infiuen-
tlal monkeys.
The citizens OF Winnemucca ere
given an object lesson yesterday
which shows that the the d~isgraceful
practice OF the Spanish war Is being
followed in the Philippines. This
nation provides royalty for its SOL
diers and their support. The people
have placed millions at the disposal
OF the Goycrnment-not to be paid
out to satisfy POLITICAL obligations.
not to be squandered on rascally con-
tractors, who would stick an Ameri-
a soldier with MS little thought rs
they would stick II pig for n price,
but to equip and feed the soldiers
who are beng burned across the land
and sea 30 carry On the fight in the
Orient.
Yesterday four tralnloads OF SOL
diers passed through this place. The
soldiers were permitted Ia leave their
cars. Why? To see Winnemuccar
To view the sagcbrush? No. To
beg from door To door the food for
which they were starving.
Their story was a pitiful one. For
eight men one can Of beef (Alger's
beef, probability and Il package OF
food four inches wide, two inches
thick and six inches long is furnished
daily-half Il bite for n Ncvadnn. The
soldiers who had money purchased
food; those who had not went hun
cry, or begged from door to door.
IIaggard. faced men in the uniform Of
American soldiers could be seer hum
grily looking into the shop windows,
furnishing Tor the food before their
eyes, but toe poor to buy and too
proud to'beg
Such is Americas disgrace. The
generous people have provided liber-
ally for their soldiers; but the money,
instead OF being expended upon
them, is being squandered rs it was
during the Spanish war, upon rascals
who would sell their country for less
silver than tempted Judas to the be-
trayal Of his Master.
The contractors, the transportation
companies, tho politicians who are
robbing the Nation at the expense OF
the American soldier; who are taking
the bread from tho mouths OF the de-
tenders OF the Nation, are the loudest
IN their praise OF the men who eufrer
and die for Old Glory. But their
praise Is as insmcere as the smooth
talk OF the confidence man who pre-.
pares to rob and even murder his
victim. When Il celebration in honor
OF the soldiers liz proposed, tho rob.
bers take Il few hundreds from the
thousands that they have stolen, and
subscribe to the entertainment fund.
The money has blood on it, however,
and blood money should not be nc
cepted for such a cause. 1t is vain
for such men TO prate OF patriotism;
for they know not the meaning of the
word.-Silver State.

ment was caused here this afternoon hy

Cubans, who ara In q position to contrast
the democratic way in which men
holding the high rank held by Generals
Brooke and Ludlow conduct their estah-
lishmsnts, with the prodigal habits of
the cid Spanish regime.
AS to the charge that Sen Brooke has
expended money in repairing the palace,
the Americans reply that this old and
historic structure had either to be pulled
down or repaired and renovated, and
consequently about $io0 600 ave been ex-
pended on it. but, it is pointed out, in
stead of Icing as heretofore. the private
