WE CAN build up as well as pull
down. AS the Spaniards are consid-
ering the necessity of reconstructing
their navy, now that the peace treaty
has been signed, they cannot do bet
ter than to come here, where they
have $20,OOO,OOO standing to their
credit, and get their new cruisers
from our shipbuilders. They would
need no guarantee of the quality of

The county commissioners made contract
for the county publishing in two newspapers
for one year, for $197. That was economy.
They allowed an attorney 1925 for collect
ing $515.9S, back takes, from a wealthy cor

If county newspapers had as much
gumption as lawyers, such outrages
as that $197 affair would not occur.

Expansion Democrats.

In the last campaign hitherto uni
ted democracy was badly split on the
question of silver and now it seems
that there is going to be the same
sort of trouble over the expansion is
sue in the next campaign. Although
party members in Congress have de-
clared against expansion in no uncer-
tain terms, Mr.. Croker and other
eastern democrats of influence haYe
boldly taken up the cause and are
landing the Mckinley doctrine as
sound democratic principle. Mr..
Germans attempt in the Senate to
make expansion the supreme issue
next year have not moved Mr.. Croker
and his friends who represent the
democracy of the Empire state and
who are in harmony with the republi-
can policy. They propose to answer
the pleas of German at a great din
ner in New York at which the expan-
sionist programme is to be extolled as
the only true blue Jeffersonian doc
trine. The object of the easterners in
this course is beyond fathoming. At
heart they do not believe in silver and
helped to defeat Bryan in 1895. Now
they resist the sentiment of the great
majority of party leaders in espousing
the imperialistic cause. Where do
they propose to turn for an issue :?
Why do they call themselves demo-
