ehe Spanish Minister Ready For His
Formal Presentation.
Washington, June l. - The new
Spanish minister, Duke d'Arcos, and
the Duchess d'Arcos arrived here at
$40 O'Clock last evening, and for the
first time since Minister Polo demand
ed his passports and retired, just be-
fore the outbreak of war, the Spanish
government was directly represented
in Washington by one of its own
countrymen. Accompanying the duke
were Secretaries Riano and Pastor
The Spanish party was met at the de-
pot by small party of intimates
There was no effort at demonstration.
Az the party moved out into the depot
the people there pressed about them
and eagerly inspected the new corners,
One horny handed laborer who step
ped forward to shake hands with the
duke received a heartfelt acknowledge
ment. At the Arlington hotel, whence
the party was driven. the Spanish flag
was flying
The state department probably will
arrange today for the formal presenta-
ton Of the duke to the president, which
Is likely to take place tomorrow. just
before the cabinet meeting. In case
1t can be arranged the presentation OF
Mr.. Bellamy Storer, the new United
States minister to Spain, will take
place at Madrid on the same day.

The war is on between the Republican
factions in this courtyard we are informed
that it is to be a battle to a finish. Mr..
Geo. E. PieTson, the Senatorial candidate
of the Watkins faction, " no has newspaper
instincts, naturally recognizes the power OF
the press be recognizes also, that the
Republican press of this city being
controlled By the Ring, be must 90 else
where for publicity, hence has gone to the
Paulsb0ro Press in order to make his bow
to the people of the county, and the last
issue of that paper contained very inter-
esting bill of particulars, and reasons for
his candidacy.
A judicious use of printers ink is no
doubt valuable in contests like that in
which Mr.. Pierson is engaged, but it is a
dangerous friend when spread By iniudici-
Gus hands. We quote this sentence which
Mr. Persons enemies are already using
with some Effect
To him (Mr PiersoD) also is due the
credit of making the county budget of
appropriations for 1899 sos 600, $4,000
less than the preceding year, reduction
by which every taxpayer in the county
will be benefited and which ought to be
generally appreciated by them"
Without questioning the accuracy of the
statement. which eliminates all his fellow
freeholders from participation and re-
sponsibility in county affairs, the rule
which gives him credit for reducing APP
preparations must apply as well 10 an
increase in the county budget.
From the time Mr.. Pierson went into
the Board in '95, the appropriations have
ranged from 500 900 to SIS 900, with the
exception of that noted above, which is an
increase of from $4,000 to $4,000 per
year over the am UNITS appropriated by the
Board when controlled by Democrats.
1t Mr.. Pierson is to receive credit for a
measly $4,000 reduction in appropriating
in the year 1899, by the same rule be il
chargable with an increase of $500 a
year over the appropriations by the Demo-
Gratis during the years 1884, 92,' SO. or an
aggregate of about $50 600.
The Press promises to publish the claims
of candidate Stanger, Of the LoudensIager
faction, and then we will discover what be
has done in his years of service as Free
holder, AssembIyman, Senator, etc, to
Merit further distinction.
Thia is to be decidedly interesting con-
test, and the thoughtful voter will haye
much food for thought before he casts his
ballot next November.

Next Fall seventeen counties in this State
will elect Sheriffs, eleven of whom will
succeed Republican incumbents, and six OF
them will succeed Democrats. The counties
to elect in place of Republicans are Atlantic,
Burlington, Camden, Cumberland, Essex,
Gloucester, Mercer, Morris, Ocean, Salem,
and Union. The counties to elect success
sors to Democrats are Hudson, Hunterdon,
MIDI lesex, Monmouth, Sussex and Warren.
Besides this general election of Sheriffs to
create a great interest in the contest, there
will be State Senators elected in seven
counties who will have vote on the cleo
ton of United States Senator to succeed
Senator Sewell. These counties are Cam
den, Essex, Gloucester, Monmouth, Salem,
Somerset and Warren. OF these seven
counties, six will elect both Senator and
Sheriff, viz. : Camden, Essex, Gloucester,
Monmouth, Salem and Warren. OF the
seven senatorial counties, six are now
represented by Republicans, and one
Warren-by a Democrat. There is no
good reason why Monmouth and Salem
should not, with Warren, elect Democratic
Senators this Fall, and if either Somerset OF
Essex should join them in so doing, the
Democrats will have a majority Of one In
the Senate.

The information from Manila is so con-
flicting that the people have about made
up their minds that the news censors there
are as unreliable as the average news re-
porters at home. OIe day the dispatches,
right from the seat of war, tell us that the
FilipiDos are about to surrender; next day,
that Otis must have more men; next day,
the joyous information IS received that he
has men enough. What are the people to
believe, as to the situation in the Philip
pines

The United States Authorities at San
Francisco have refused to permit the land
ing at that port of ten Filipino musicians
who have contracted their services to play
during the coming season at a summer
resort in New York state. They are denied
the privilege of landing on the ground that
it would be in violation of the alien con-
tract labor law. President Mckinley has
just paid Spain twenty million dollars for
the Philippine archipelago, or two dollars
apiece for the ten million inhabitants
thereof Our soldiers are fighting against
what the administration terms an insurrect-
ion against the authority of the United
States in the Philippine Islands. The
President insists that those people belong
to us and that their territory is now part
and parcel of the United States. Then why
have not the FIlipinos the right to make
contracts with anybody in the United
States and move about on any part Of the
territory of the United States like ans
other citizen? There is something out of
Joint.

Congressman James r. Young tells the
Philadelphia Star that many of the well
informed Government officials think the
United States will ultimately become in
volved in war with Germany. They base
this opinion not so much on what has hap
pened at Manila and at Apia as upon the
trade complications which are beginning
to manifest themselves. Then, too, quite 3

the future belieYe that Emperor William
and those who surround him and attempt
to pour advice into his ears are spelling for
a fight. Germany is hard up ON a fnan-

army is being maintained with practically
nothing to do, and the German navy is one

Ian MacLaren, the famous Eoglish orator
and writer. when leaving New York last
week for England, after an extended tour
of the United States, said, in speaking of
the Philippine question:
Being an Englishman, of course, am
an expansionist because that has always
been the POLICY of my country. There are
a great many expaDsionists here, but they
do not appear to me to be as sincere as
those who oppose such policy The
American who is snti-expansionist is the
only consistent upholder of the Constitu-
tion and traditions of the great Republic

Every Democrat would like to read the
life and writings of Thomas Jefferson. but
hitherto no popular edition has been
published. The Jefersoaian Democrat, a
sixty-four page magazine, in its May
number has devoted all its pages to
history of the political life of Thomas
jefferson, and those OF his letters and
papers that apply to the present political
conditions OF the United States, and at the
price, ten cents copy, at which this
magazine is sold, it is within the reach
of all. 1t is extraordinary the prescience
that guided the tongue and pen of Thomas
Jefferson, he was able to lift the veil of the
future and see not in glass dimly but
clearly, the political problems that would
beset the Republic. A study of these
writings. of the founder of the Democratic
Party, will strengthen the hearts of all
true patriots and aid them in perpetuating
the freedom that is menaced by the
Hamiltonism of the present day. The
magazine is for sale on all news stands.
