Theodore Roosevelt, a Republican
President, given us the Panama
Canal?
Was it not Seward, Republican
Secretary of State, who, against
Democratic opposition, gave us
Alaska, that vast area of inCalCul-
able resources, which, without
development, already more than
pays for itself each single year?
Did the Democratic party during its
eight years of power inaugurate,
or attempt to inaugurate, foreign
policy for the benefit of American
commerce, such as John Hay, a
Republican Secretary of State, has
inaugurated, and is still inaugural
ing'
Did the Democratic party ever
contemplate giving the negro his
freedom? Was not that the act of
a Republican President, Abraham
Lincoln, of immortal memory?
Did the Democratic party during
its entire eight years of power do
as much as has the Republican
party in any single year since 1896
toward unfolding the dignity and
spreading the power of the Ameri-
can flag?-the flag which has never
led our army and navy against a
foreign foe except to victory; the
flag of which we say
There are many flags in many lands.
There are flags of every hue,
But there is no flag however grand
Like our own red, white and blue.

An exchange remarks that Mr.
Cleveland may assure himself that
the country will not forget him as
long as Bryan lives. 1t is true that
Colonel Bryan is a pretty loud
talker, and that he works his mouth
on full time, but the country will
remember Grover all right if Billy
was to go into eternal reticence

The Gods appear to be torninst
Caleb, the indispensable counselor
and guide of the cheap politician Of
this good old town. Now Caleb is
troubled with a certain amount of
ingrowing patriotism-for himself
and the only antiseptic is Office.
Caleb must have Office or the Re
publican party, sooner or later may
lose his excellency, the jobber.
Attorney General John A. Bagley
has been very unkind to our
Political Caleb in that he has
decided that there will be no cleo
ton of district Judge in the Sixth
District this year, but that Judge
Stevens holds the reins until
January, 1907, causing a very un-
necessary and tedious delay for
political Caleb. You would not
think it, but Caleb has a very
exalted opinion of hi1pself, not only
as an expounder of law, but as a
local politician. Although he has
never made political speech in the
county or done anything of motto
able interest or benefit to the Re
publican party i'll this county, yet
he thinks he would fill the bill as
Judge of the Sixth Judicial District,
but OF course, now that this
lucrative Office is for three wears
beyond his reach, he would unseat
our worthy and deserving County
Attorney Soule, and for the second
time, demand of the Fremont Re-
publicans this Office. Find fellow
whose mouth waters to catch the
drippings from piece of political
honeycomb, and wants the other
fellows to be contented with bee
bread, and you've got man who Il
hide behind your back when you re
under fire.

THE EMERGENCY AND THE
ISSUE.


ISSUE.
When the news flashed over the
wires that Theodore Roosevelt was
the unanimous choice of the Re-
publican party as its standard
bearer i'll the present campaign,
every true Republican heart re-
joiced every believer in sound
money, Protection and prosperity
was glad; every opponent of Cleve-
landism, Organism and all the
many other isms of disunited Demo
crazy felt relief in the knowledge
that there was no danger, except by
Republican apathy, of a return to
the losses and hard times of those
periods of calamity known as Demo-
cratic years. Fortunately, those
years have been few-only eight
since Abraham Lincoln's first cleo
ton in 1860-but their memory
WEIGHS upon us like nightmare.
Looking backward to those years,
we cannot say with Hamlet, "'Tis
but the baseless fabric of dream. -
On the contrary, it was stern
reality, reality which was felt,
and painfully felt, in our families
and Our homes. Our wives suffered,
our children suffered, every bust
ness and social interest in Our
country suffered. There is no dis
guising the emergency and the issue
in this campaign The emergency
is as great and the issue is as clear
as they were in 1896 and 1900. In
those campaigns we fought for
Protection to American industries
and the prosperity of the American
home. For those sacred principles
we fight again. Now, as then, if
our fight is valiant and persistent,
the eagle of victory will rest on our
banners.
We must not deceive ourselves
with the idea that victory will come
without work. That was our mis-
take III 1892, and dearly we paid
tor 1t i'll the Wilson Free Trade low
Tariff BILL and four years of
Grover, with his $3.50, 600, 900 bond
sale, without which and ina time
OF peace abroad and stagnation at
home Uncle Sam would not have
been able to meet his daily ex-
penses. William Mckinley
changed all that in November
1896, and from the DAY of his first
inauguration not dollar has been
borrowed by Our Government for
running expenses, or public works,
nor for our new battlesllips or the
Panama Canal, nor for the extra
expenses connected with the yalua-
bic territories we have acquired
since the return of the Republican
party to power ON March 4, 1897.
Whe have paid all these hundreds
OF millions of dollars out of the
prosperity which has run side bv
side with Republican good govern
ment, coupled with the Protective
Iaritt. This prosperity will CON
tinue with us just as long as, and
not a day longer than, we support
Republican administration and
maintain the present Tariff the
only Tariff ever put in force which
has properly Protected the Ameri-
can workman home and the
American workman's wife and
children.
Shall we risk a change of admin
lstration' Shall we disturb the
Protective Tariff? We did both in
1892, and ruin resulted. The man
who is ruined by circumstances
beyond his control is an object OF
pity, but the man who seeks to
ruin himself and his fellow-men bv
voting against his and their interest
is fool. They tell us that the
policy of Protection is selfish

Captain Matousevitch, the late Rear
Admiral W-ithoeft's chief of staff, under
date Of August y:
At dawn Of August 10 our Port
Arthur squadron began to make for the
open sea and emerged from the port at
9 o'clock. The squadron consisted of six
battleships, the cruisers Askold, Diana,

I'm the battle the commander of our
squadron was killed and the captain of
the battleship Cesarevitch was wound

Of little bottles Of heavy, coarse, grav-

Of forty-one Yaqui Indians have been
taking out with dry washers.
Killeby has located what he believes
to be the ancient channel, and accord
ing to his story the dry earth carries
big values of just such gold as he dis
plays. The property is located on the
eastern side of the San Pedro Martin
range OF mountains, four miles from
the Gulf Of Mexico and about two
miles below the line. He is interested
in the deal with a wealthy resident of
Nogales named Romeris, who secured
the mining concession from the Mexi-
can Government. The grant covers a
space Of thirty by ninety miles.
Killeby is now on his way to Nogales
TO tell Of his find and plan for further
development work. He has sunk one
shaft, he says, to a depth of fifty feet,
and no bedrock has been struck, which
carries out his idea Of the old river
channel. He declares his belief that
there is actually more gold in sight
than 1000 men can work in forty years.

Important Discovery to the

WASHINGTON. Aug. 1S.-Vast for
ests of Manicoba rubber trees. which
may in time affect the rubber market,
are reported to have been discovered in
Brazil. H. W. Furniss, United States
Consul at Bahia. Brazil, tells OF the
finding in a report to the State Depart
ment, received to-day.
Furniss says that during the last few
months the discovery was made that
there are in the interior Of this State
vast forests Of trees from which can be
produced a high grade Of rubber,
known to the trade as 'ManicOba-"
The area appears TO be very large, but
cannot be defined as the region has not
been fully explored. The attention
called to the first discovery has led to
further exploration. with the result
that from time to time comes a notice
Of other sections where similar trees
grow in profusion.

Naval Encounter
in the Strait
of Korea.

CHEFU, Aug. IA, noon.-A japanese
squadron sighted the yladivostok
squadron in the Strait of Korea at 5:1O
o'clock this Sunday morning. Fight
ing began fifty minutes later.
Four torpedo-boa or torpedo-boat
destroyers, apparently japanese, en-
tered this harbor at o'clock last night.
A cruiser remained outside the harbor.
One of the torpedo boats exchanged
signals with the Chinese flagship.
A press correspondent at once visited
the Chinese flagship. where he was
coolly told by Admiral Sab that no Jap
anese or Russian vessels had been seen
during the night.
TOXIC, Aug. 13.-It is believed here
that the Russians will not be able to
repair the five battleships reported by
Admiral Togo to have been damaged
in the recent sea fighting at Port
Arthur. The Japanese land batteries
now command the entrance to the har-
Dor and could render this work impos-
sible.
Before the Russian fleet emerged
from Port Arthur, on August 10, the
Japanese batteries could reach the
warships there with shells and the
docks were exposed to a fire, the Sc
verify of which was increasing con-
stantly. 1t is doubted if the ships will
be able to go to sea again without first
undergoing repairs, and it is expected
that the Russians themselves Will de-
stroy them before Port Arthur falls.

SIGHTS A RUSSIAN DESTROYER.
Japanese Merchant Steamship Not
MOIested by the War Craft.

TOXIC. Aug. 13.-The merchant
steamship Genkai sighted a Russian
torpedo-boat destroyer near Jigwei
Island. off the eastern coast of Korea,
on the afternoon OF August IL. The
Russian was steaming to the west
ward. The captain of the Genkai pre-
pared to beach his ship, but the Rus
sian did not molest her. The Russian
torpedo boat destroyer evidently had
parted from the fleet during the bat
tie of August 10 and was trying to re-
turn to Port Arthur.
