General Miles' expedition to Porto Rico will probably be written down as a campaign - paign of splendid inactivity on the part of the enemy and of victories on the part of Americans so umminterrupted as to reduce the whole movement to the piano of martial travesty. The significant fact , however , Is that the expeditIon w'as planned with scien- tlflc astuteness and carried out with offct- ivcness and dcspatcb. It is safe to say that if determined opposition had confronted him , General Miles would have outfought It and outgeneralled It in Pom'to Rico just as successfully as General Shafter did In Cuba. haute UuaiitlLii Asociatlon.

TIme wave of prosperity whICh began to rise as soon as It became known tirnt Mc- Klnley had been elected president in 1Si0 and the tear of tree silver coinage was dissipated - sipated has reached such proportions that oven the most strenuous advocate of free sliver cannot deny Its presence.
