The On1Cial Paper Of San Juan County.
THURSDAY. DECEMBER IA, 1899.
THE RIGHT MAN IN THE RIGHT PLACE

It is said that there is a strong OPP
position in army circles to the proposed
appointment of Gen. Wood to the rank
of brigadier general of the regular
army, and that in consequence OF this
opposition he was made major general
of volunteers-this with view to send
ing him to Havana as military head OF
the provisional government OF Cuba.
Whatever army officers may think or
say about this wei! deserved promotion
of Gen. Wood to the governor general
ship of Cuba, it will meet the universal
approval of the American people. In
his remarkably successful administra-
ton of the affairs of the province of
Santiago he has exhibited just the
qualities necessary to bring about the
regeneration of the native Cubans, TO
win them to glad, grateful and or
derby participation in the processes of
government, to awaken them from the
sloth which came of ages of hopeless
vassalage to all oppressive despotism to
the activities of the new life, in which
industry is stimulated with hope of its
earned reward and ambition inspired
with the knowledge that all oppOrtuni
ties are open on equal terms to all, and
that all rights will be protected under
a lust administration of the laws. In
every step of his Santiago administra-
ton he has shown the farseeing wis
dom of statesman In adapting means
to ends, and a combination of filmness,
kindness and administrative ability in
large and in detail which are rarely
seen in the same person. He has estab-
lished the reign of order and concord
and cleanliness and health in region
given over to chaos and dirt and dis
ease. Long ago 1t was urged that
Gen. Wood be appointed to the gov
ernor generalship of Cuba-if that
name can be correctly used to describe
the office of chief executive in the
provisional government of Cuba to
which he is assigned. The officers
heretofore intrusted with that delicate
and difficult office have dore their duty
well. But they have not succeeded as
Wood has i'm Santiago in enlisting the
unreserved confidence of the native
Cubans, including the insurgent mall
contents, and their cheerful submission
to the laws and regulations established
by him for their good. Generals
Brooke and Ludlow and Lee are men
of conceded ability. But they have
not shown that tactful genius in the
organization and administration of
good government and in winning the
willing acquiescence of all the discord-
ant elements of the population which
has been shown byWood. President Nc
Kinley has done well to disregard the
jealousies of army officers, and to push
Gen. Wood over their heads to the
position that belongs to him by the
highest of all rights-pre-eminent fit
ness for the responsible position to
which he is or is to be assigned.

The county is to be congratulated
upon having the smallest percentage of
tax delinquency ever known in its
history, as shown by the figures furn-
ished by the county treasurer and pub
lished last week. 1t is evident that
very few desirable tax certificates of
delinquency are obtainable in this
county. There appears to have been a
rush for them at Seattle and other
places since December and that when
issued against good property they are
regarded as one of the safest and most
profitable Investments obtainable in
this state, as they bear Is per cent in
terest and constitute a first and incon-
testable lien against the property COW

OFFICIAL dispatches to the British
government report another serious re-
verse to the British arms i'm South Az
RIGA, the immediate effect Of which will
doubtless be very favorable to the Boer
cause by encouraging thousands of the
Dutch farmers in Cape Colney to enroll
themselves under the Boer standard in
the hope, almost certainly vain one'
of achieving permanent independence
OF British rule. The federation of the
several colonies and states of South
Africa under the flag Of an independent
nation has long been the cherished
dream of the old Dutch burghers.
Possibly it may sometime and in some
way he realized, but it is not likely to
be III the present generation, and if it
ever is it is not probable that the flag
that will wave over 1t will be the flag
of the Beers, or that the sturdy, stall
wart, phlegmatic and unprogressive
descendants of the early Dutch settlers
Of Cape Colony will control its des.
TIMES. The spirit OF empire and do
minion over sea and land Is too strong
in the English breast to give way to
the humber ambitions of the peaceful,
pastoral Beers, who care little for the
pomp and pleasures of the world and
who seem more in harmony with the
life of Abraham of old than with that
Of the modern pharisees of the great
Babylons of Europe and America.
This is an age of advancement and en-
lightenment, of commercial and in
dustrial expansion, OF. progress in the
arts and sciences, and all these things
seem foreign to the Boer nature and
the Boer idea of government. 1t is a
great pity that the blood of SO many Of
their bravest sons should be shed in a
contest so unequal and SO apparently
hopeless. They had far better concede
much to the rapacity of the English
than to risk all in a struggle against an
empire of such mighty power and
wealth as that of Britain.

As cure for rheumatism Chamber
lain's Pain Balm is gaining a wide repu
since 1862. In speaking of it he says: ~
never found anything that would relieve
me until I used Chamberlain's Pain
Balm. 1t acts like magic with me. My
foot was swollen and painting me very
much, but one good application of Pain
Balm relieved me. For sale by dealers

SECRETARY LONG, in his report,
recommends that "the thanks of con-
gress be given to the communicating
chief of the South Atlantic squadron
and the officers and men under his
command" for their services in the
Santiago campaign. 1t is quite likely
that Schley will be mentioned by name
when the thanks are rendered.

What to Do.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed. that DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, the great kidney remedy fulfills every
wish in curing rheumatism, pain in the
back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part
OF the urinary passage. 1t corrects inability
to hold water and scalding pain in passing
1t, or bad effects following use of liquor,
wine or beer. and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to 20 often
during the day. and to get up many times
during the night. The mild and the extra
ordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon
realized. 1t stands the highest for its won
derful cures of the most distressing cases.
