CUBA, PHILIPPINES AND
PANAMA.

The American government in Repub-
lican hands has freed Cuba, giving a
peace and protection to Porto Rico
and the Philippines under our flag and
begun the construction of the Panama
canal. The political conditions in CUBA
vindicate the wisdom Of maintaining
between Cuba and this country i'm
per'shable bonds of mutual interest,
and the hope is now expressed that the
Cuban people will soon be able to
assume complete sovereignty over that
land.
In Porto Rico the government of the
United States is meeting loyal and
patriotic support, order and prosperity
prevail and the well being of the peo-
pie in every respect promoted and con
served.
We believe that the citizens of Porto
Rico should be at once collectively
made citizens Of the United States, and
thai all others qualified under the ex-
listing laws residing on said island.

RAwHIDE rs WITHOUT
BANKING HOUSES

The Bank of Rawhide closed its
doors last Thursday afternoon at two
o'clock following the ending of the
examiners report. This was not unex
pected as it was known that the fail
ure of the First bank of Rawhide
would result in a run on the other
bank
This happened Wednesday and all
day the next day the bank was pay
ing off depositors, but the strain
could not last long, and it was d.
cided to close until the bank examin-
err had completed the inspection of tn
bank.
The Bank of Rawhidp was merged
some time age with the Miners ard
Merchants bank and would probabl :
have weathered all difficulties had Is
not been for the sudden closing of til
First bank. Rawhide is now without
a bank of any sort.
Bank Examiner Hofer returned t.
Carson City from Rawhide Tuesday
and reports that the First bank of
Rawhide and the Wonder Trust com
pany are insolvent. Russell Prentiss
is the president of both of these in
situations. The attorney general will
leave in a few days for Goldfeld to
ask for a receiver for the First bank
of Rawhide, and from there he viii
go to Fallon, where he will petition
for a receiver for the Wonder Trust
company.
The bank examiner states that the
Bank of Rawhide is solvent and will
o be able to open again.

DEMOCRATIC INCAPACITY.
DEMOCRACY AND REPUBLI-
CANISM,


Beyond all platform declarations
there are fundamental differences be
tween the Republican party and its
chief opponent which makes the one
worthy and the other unworthy of pub
lie trust.
In history the difference between
Democracy and Republicanism is that
the one stood for debased currency,
the other for honest currency the one
for free silver. the other for sound mo-
ney. the one for free trade, the other
for protection, the one for contraction
of American Influence, the other for ex
pansion, the one has been forced to
abandon every position taken OF the
great issues before the people, the 9th
err has held and indicated all.
In experience, the difference be
tween Democracy and Republicanism
is that one stands for vacillation and
timidity in government, the other for
strength and purpose, one stands for
obstruction, the other for construction;
one promises. the other Performs; one
finds fault and the other finds work.
The present tendencies of the
two parties is even more marked by
inherent differences. The trend of De
mocraey is towards socialism, while
the Republican party stands for a wise
and regulated individualism. Socialism
would destroy wealth. Republication
would prevent its abuse. Socialism
would give TO each an equal right to
take; Republieanism would give 10
each an equal right TO earn. Socialism
would offer an equal right to posses
sion which would soon leave no one
to possess; Republicanism would give
equality of opportunity which would
assure to each his share of an ever
increasing sum of possessions. In line
with this policy the Democratic party
of today believes in government owner
ship, while the Republican party be-
lieves in government regulation; ulti
mately, Democracy would have the
nation own the people, while Repub-
lieanism would have the people own
the government.
Upon this platform of principle AMI
purposes reaffirming our adherence to
every reasonable doctrine proclaimed
since the birth of the party, we go be
fore the country asking the support
not only of those who have acted with
as heretofore, but of all our fellow
citizens. who. regardless of past politi-
cal differences, unite in the desire to
maintain the policies, perpetuate the
blessings and make secure the achieve
ments of a greater America.

is a cold country Is a false one, says
writer in Travel Magazine. In Reyk-

day perched myself on one OF the lava
walls and looked at a scene OF summer
warmth and beauty. Familiar cows
and cats and hens were busy In the
sunshine. Children, thinly clad, were
playing about with shouts OF merri-
ment. Potatoes were In full blossom,
and cabbage and various vegetables
added to the sense Of homelike comfort.
But such days are GASES In vast deserts
