SPAIN KEEPp,G PLEDGES.
Will Continue Payments Under the
Treaty of 1884.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 26.-The Span
ish Government has undertaken to con
tinue the payments which It was pledg-
ed to make under the treaty OF 1884,
and the State Department has been in
formed that the Government at Madrid
has drawn two drafts for the payment
of the interest due on what are known
as the perpetual rentes OF 1884"
These drafts cover the arrears OF in
terest for the years 1898 and 1899. the
payments having been suspended on
the outbreak OF war. IL was entirely
within the technical rights OF tho Span
ish Government under international
law to refuse to be bound by the treaty
OF 1884, and its action Is regarded by
the State Department as peculiarly
gracious
The payments under this treaty are
made on account OF illegal blockading
operations by the Spanish naval forces
early in this century. when the Spanish
South and Central American colonies
were struggling to achieve their free
dom. American shipping and mercan-
tile interests generally suffered from
these blockading operations, and a
Joint commission assessed damages
against the Spanish Government In
favor of the American claimants TO the
amount of about S6O0. 900. Instead OF
paving the cash the Spanish Govern
ment, with the consent OF the United
States Government. as well as of the
claimants. inscribed the names of the
latter on what is known as the roll OF

nay the claimants the interest on this

THE TREASURY SURPLUS.

Among the numerous foolish ideas OF
the Democratic party none is more alb
surd than It's horror of a Treasury sur
plus-that is its horror of such surplus
when out of power and unable to expend
it. The surplus which is now accumulat-
ing in the National Treasury is being
made the basis for assaults upon the tar
iff and tax policies of the Republican par
ty. We find one class of Democratic
newspapers demanding that the surplus
shall be reduced and its accumulation
stopped by repeating the stamp tax, or
what is called the war tax. Another
class of Democrats is demanding that
the surplus shall be destroyed by repeal
ing our present protective tariff laws and
return to free trade.
The country is not likely TO be favor
ably impressed with either of these propo
sitions coming from Democratic sources.
1t is but short while ago that the coun-
try saw a splendid Treasury surplus
squandered under Democratic Admin
istration, and the Government forced to
issue bonds for over two hundred mil.
lions of dollars to raise money for its
running expenses The people are pain
fully aware of the unhappy conditions
that followed the melting away of the
surplus and the establishing of a deficit
They are also mindful of the fact that I'M
der Democratic Administrations the rule,
and not the exception, has been deficits.
1t is also known that deficit in the pub
lie treasury has always been accompanied
by disastrous business conditions through
out the country. In the face of these
facts it is astounding to see an enlight-
ened newspaper like the Richmond
TIMES declaring that : ga Treasury
surplus is public outrage"

will the Government ever be able to dis
charge its obligations without accumulat- [

The chief of the bureau of foreign COM
merce has Just summarized the vcluml-
nous reports of our foreign trade rela-
tons. He finds that there is a general
demand for American coal in Europe,
thus opening up a new field for our en-
terprise and thus enabling Americans to
add fuel to the list of exports, a list
now including food and manufactured
goods.
According to tie summary, the only
danger to be feared is that our products
NAV lose some of their distinguished
merits that there will be a falling of in
the standard, eithu through carelessness
or the mistaken desire To obtain larger
profits by lowering the qualify. As it Il,
our commercial expansion is described as

ceeded at d pace exceeding the exPecta-

There is a tremendous difference be-
tween such achievements and the delu-
sion that delegates to national conyen-
ton can put money in the popular
purse. 1t is the difference between the
actual and the supposititious. 1t is the
difference between the real and the imagi-
nary. 1t is the difference between tie
shadow and the substance. And, though
this difference is as clear rs crystal 10
all but those who will not see, it will
probably make no particle of difference

City. There the country will once again
be told to look to the mints rather than

HARMONY ! COURAGE ! VICTORY

The chief barriers to the success ofthe
Republican party in Virginia have hereto
fore been, lack of harmony among It's
leadership, want of courage on the part
of the rank and file, and the outrageous
methods of the Democracy. The first
named barrier is now about removed, and
the second will be sure to follow. With
harmony existing among the leaders and
courage restored to the ranks, we have
strong hopes that victory can be won for
the party, even in the face of the infamous
election law which Democracy has EN-
ploved to keep control of our State.
We are glad to notice that there is
disposition among the Republican leaders
to get together, to stop wrangIing oyer the
allotment of patronage and the direction
of party affairs. Such a disposition will
be hailed with delight by the masses of II c
party, who have been greatly discouraged
by the lack of harmony among the leaders.
There is no question but that Virginia Is
Republican State, and every means should
be used by those who believe in Republi-
can principles to prove the fact. Nothing
has been done to weaken the cause since
1896 but the enforcement of policy of III
activity. The 5000 men in Virginia
who voted for Mckinley in 1896 are ready
to vote for him or the Republican candl-
date again; and there are many who voted
for Bryan who see that they were acting
under deusion. These last mentioned
will not desire to hel p change existing con-
ditions, and will either refrain from voting
or cast their ballots with the Republicans
There are also great many honest, CON
sentative Democrats who have become
weary of the rule of the Machine a ma.
chine whose craftsmanship is confined
within the marrow walls of a fraudulent
ballot box, and whose patriotism scars no

ments of office obtained by padded regis.
traton books and false election returns.
The time has come for a complete re
organization Of the Republican party in
Virginia. This should 5e done speedily,
upon fighting basis; and when once 50
organized it should be kept in that condi-
ton. We admit that the election ma
chinery in the hands of dishonest ma
chine is a terrible obstacle i'll the way Of
success; but we are optimistic enough to
believe that with persistent, courageous
work on the part Of our party, even that
obstacle can be overcome. We have the
clements of great party in Virginia; all
it needs is proper handling to I ecome Il
triumphant party. There should be Il
thorough union of all our forces, and in
the coming Presidential election we will
teach the enemy lesson they will not
soon forget. Let the Republican battle
cry henceforth be: Harmony Cour'

to adopt the policy of the Democracy of
