same party that in the sixties saw

THE GREATPRESIDENTIAL
CAMPAIGN OF 1900.

The wars of America have. heretofore,
settled affairs of state. Great questions of
policy, of national motives and national
conclusions have been answered as soon as
the battle smoke cleared away, and the
victor realized his victory. The war with
Spain is unlike its predecessors. 1t has
not answered questions. but has created
problems which may not be solved lightly.
These problems are being formulated by
the political parties. and before they can
be definitely settled at the ballot box it is
necessary that the people be informed in
regard to the situation. The result Of the
campaign of 1900 will make broad mark
upon the page of history; it will doubtless
establish the policy of the great Republic
America for quarter of a century. 1t is
vastly important, therefore. that every
citizen shall study the situation through
that bes: of mediums, a great newspaper.
The most reliable newspaper, the best
newspaper, is the Semi Weekly Republic.
which affords comprehensive view of the
political situation in all its bearings. 1t
publishes the new news. The Semi-Week-
ly Republic is Democratic paper. but it
offers to its readers the news regarding all
the political parties and this without pre-
iudice. 1t is fair newspaper. Its tele-
graph and cable news service has been
proved to be the best employed by a
modern paper. Its special features are
| unsurpassed. 1t is the newspaper for the
reader who has not access to a daily paper.
News features. art and literature COM
bine to make The Republics Sunday Ma
gazine specially attractive weekly maga-
| zine. The half-tone illustrations printed
in tais magazine surpass anything ever
attempted by a newspaper. These pro-
ducts of photography are worth the price
of the paper. Special articles by trained
| writer's on the news and the subjects en-
gaging the public attention are prepared
for The Republics Sunday Magazine.
A distinctly useful and attractive feature
of this magazine is the fashion depart
| ment. Always reliable and up with the
times, the ladies find the fashion page a
delight. Indeed. The Republics Sunday
Magazine appeals to every member of the
family.
+ The subscription price of the Semi
Weekly Republic is 81 90 Per year. The
Republic Sunday Magazine s1.25 per year.
Both papers are now being offered at the
very low price of 81. 50 for one year. To
secure this low rate both must be ordered
and paid for at the same time

Bravo, Mr.. Sibley.

| The chief occupation Of the Dem
ocratic minority in Congress is tt
''put the other fellows in a hole.
As general thing all the minority
members stand solid against any
| and all measures proposed by the
Republicans, but once i'll while a
Democratic member rises above
the litlleness Of party politics and
stands with the majority in its eff
fort to promote the welfare of the
country. One of these is Congress
man Sibley, of Pennsylvania, who,
when the Democrats in the House
attempted to start an investigation
of the Treasury Department, sup
ported Secretary Cages recent ac-
ton in permitting the funds to
flow in the channels Of circulation
and thus preventing a financial
panic. IL had rather see my
country prosper, said MIR. Slbley.
than to see my party succeed, "
and further expressed his regret
that the Democratic party should
thrive upon depression.
Mr.. Sibley was four years ago
as strong a free silver man as
Bryan himself, but the former now
sees that the prosperity and well
fare of the country does not hinge
upon the adoption of that particu-
lar fallacy, and when Champ
Clark of Missouri undertook to
dress him down for his detection
from the cause, Sibley replied as
follows: Il believed in 1896 that
bimetallism was sacred, but events
have changed conditions by the
enormous production of gold that
the price level for which both the
gentleman from Missouri Clark
and l were striving was raised.
The cause l held sacred then has
become ridiculous, | believe if the
Democratic party is victorious this
fall it will not be able to write Il
single line of financial legislation in
the next six years. / am striving
to do something practical and help
fol. If the Democratic party is to
live it must have policy. 1t must
do something besides carp and find
fault. If it will adopt Il policy l
will keep step with it, but if it in

and finding it will have to ex-

When the Treasury Department
locks up the funds of the govern
ment in the treasury vaults it is
abused by tho Democrats for keep
ing the money out of circulation
and causing a financial stringency;
If it uses the funds to prevent a
money stringcncy, it is also abused
for so doing. 1t is evident that
the party in control of affairs in
Washington can do nothing to
please the party which is not in
control.

worm has made fits appearance In this

most every leaf Is eaten from the stalk
Other fields, almost adjoining, are not

they are taking things clean, even eat

posed that the extremely mild winter OF
1893 and 1900 has allowed them to develop
In such large numbers.
Old settlers say. that they have never

70s they were In Pacific county, and did
considerable damage to grass crops there,
but have never returned. and II will
