: ended savings thetefore icpreseiit not
neiely lednctlon In thr > running ex

It Is asset ted , for example , that at the
line the pie-elit commissioner ot pulillc
amis and buildings look ollice many ol
he lessees of school lands wele l.lr be-
ilnd while many otheis had paid no
entals on their leases for jears. These

What do these ilgmes slgnlfyV Simply
hat the tax gatherer has been mote
successful within the past two years ol
good ciops and ie\hlng ptosperit than
le had been dining the piceedlng years
if drouth and general business depres

The deceptive figures by which

ily in other dbectlons. It Is true that

The SjmnUli Lolies will adopt the
peace protocol and when S.iu.isla shall
have accomplished that he will piolubly
letlie fiom the ptemlershlp , the other
membeis of the cabinet ot course le
tiling with him. It seems plain that
Sagasta will not be permitted to re
main in ollice dining the pendency ot
peace negotiations , however miah lie
may desire to do so , pot haps by way ol
lonndlng out his political career. Hut
the sentiment Is stiongly against his
contlniiame In ollice and the advices In
dicate that the queen tegent has lallen
In with this feeling. Immediately alter
the signing of the piotocol Mar
shal Campos dcclaicd that theie should
be another ministry to negotiate peace
and it Is now appaient that he voiced a
widespread opinion.
lu the Cortes the government has been
most vlgoiously attacked , the conduct
of the war being denounced by some of
the most Inlluentlal men In the legis
lative body. General We.vler , ot course ,
is posing as the chief mllitniy ciltlc and
( lie leading champion of the Spanish '
army , notwithstanding the lad that he
did mine to demoiallxe the ainiy than a
score of defeats could have done. Still
he has plenty of adheients , at least
among mllltaty men. Meanwhile a new
p.uty has been organi/ed , under the
leadin-hlp of General I'olavlela , the pie-
else object of which has not yet been
cleaily defined beyond opposition to the
Sagasta government. This party seems
to be glowing In strength and Influence ,
as well as In aggiesslvcness. it Is very
likely that If Sagasta retires lie will lie
succeeded by 1'olavleja , which would
probably mean some very radical
changes In political and military allaiis.
With icgard to the dynasty the new-
party Is doubtless as loyal as Is the
party In power and It may be better
disposed to weed out corruption , expel
Incapacity fiom the public setvhe and
icinedy other existing evils. In that
event Its accession to power would lie
of distinct benefit to the nation.
The condition of affairs In Spain has
an Interest for the American people In
so far as It may affect the peace ne
gotiations. Theie is some bitter feeling
against the United States and doubtless
there Is some sentiment In favor of ic-
slstlng any demands on the part of this
country beyond what are specifically
made In the peace protocol. 1'erhaps
negotiations would proceed more
smoothly with Sagasta at the head of
Spanish affairs , but In any event It Is
not to bo apprehended that any serious
effort will be made to obstruct or un
necessarily delay negotiations , since
Spain would have much to lose and
nothing to gain by such a course. It
Is to be presumed that even Weylet
realUes that It would be the extreme of
folly for Spain to adopt a course that
might create contioversy and complica
tions Inimical to peace. That nation Ifl

The ( ] Uesthn as to what "shall be done
with the Philippine Insurgents appears ,
fiom the lati st advices. have become
urgent. Agulnaldo. It seems , u growing
all the time more arrogant and mote
aggressive. He assumes that by virtue
of such assistance n was lendeied by
the Insmgcnts In the captme of Manila
he has some right of Jurisdiction and
authority there. Ills demand to bo al
lowed 'to ' occupy n poitioti of the city
having been iefu ed , he proceeded to
stietiglhen his position outside of the
city as a menace to the American
forces. In view of this the AHUM lean
outposts were doubled and the rebel
leader was notllled that he must with
draw his forces within a stated time.
This presents an ominous situation ,
lor If Agulnaldo should icfuse to with
draw , which It U quite possible he will
do , ( icncinl Oils will be compelled to
adopt coercive measuies. He must fol
low up his ultimatum with action If Its
demand Is not compiled with. The doub
ling of the American outposts plainly
indicates that this Is the intention. It
Is veiy much to be hoped that thcic will
be no necessl'y for taking forcible
ineasuies against the Insurgents. We
do not want a conlllct with those people
ple , any more than we want one witli
the Cubans. American desire Is to tieat
them fairly and justly. Hut we cannot
permit them to de'eimlne conditions to
suit themselves. They have no right
to dictate terms of any kind. The sur-
lendcr of Manila was made to the
Ameilcan forces and our mili
tary authorities alone have the light to
exorcise control there. The assumption
of Agulualdo Is absurd , because no di
v ided authority In Manila Is to he
thought of. If , theiefore , the liisiu-
geut leader should persist in his unjus
tillable demands theie is but one tiling
to do. He must be suppressed. This
might be no easy task. The insurgent
foicc Is larger than we now have at
Manila , it Is understood to bo well sup
plied witli arms and ammunition and it
lias shown that It will light. Warfare
between our tioops and the Insurgents
could have but one result , but the
achievement of that result might cost
a good many Ameilcan lives. It Is
most earnestly to be hoped that this
will be averted.
General Otis Is a discreet soldier. He
has at command the wise counsel ol
Admiral De\vey. If it be a tact that
the American commander has de
manded the withdrawal of the Insur
gents fiom their menacing position
about Manila there can be no doubt
that theie are sound and sulliclont lea-
sons for doing so. It ma.v become nec
essary to send moie soldiers to Manila.

tions will al a > s command respect at homo
and abroad Ills opinion In this Instance
is w eighty , Inasmuch as it Is accompanied
by reatons which cannot vsell be disputed
In any quarter , Hrlelly stated , his Idea la
that It Is cruel and futllo to take men from
the counting loom and put them on the bat
tlefield under the conditions of warfare ns
practiced in the p'days
In the old < lay < ! enthusiasm and yelling
often turned the tide of battle and the light
ing was usually hifgun at close range say.
200 or 300 yard * Now the combatants open
llro at 800 > arils' , and unless the officers and
men have had 'A ' great deal of practice the
firing at that distance Is pretty certain to be
Ineffective In brief , soldicilng has become
n profession : the sfamo evolution which wo
have \\ltncssed-DUJ small scale In oui firefighting -
fighting sjatem has taken place In our mili
tary sybtem. , jl jt will go on. The pro
fession must bncppje still more professional 1
with the Improvements In arms which aie
continually being perfected , and which other
nations are on the alert to adopt.
General Wheeler Is the last man In con
gress to bo accused of a leaning to mili
tarism or Imperialism Ho views the coun
try's growing military needs from the sol
dier's point of view exclusively ; and ho sees
that , leaving tbo homo service wholly out
of the question , the garrleonlng of the new
poHsrsslons v\lll make a larger standing
army Imperative. General Wheeler agrees
with Secretary Alger that there should be an
army of ino.000 men. and slnco he has been
Invited by Chairman Hull of the house mili
tary committee to aid In framing the new
army reorganization bill , It Is likely that
Ids Ideas on this and other matters of de
tail will find expression la tbe formulated
measure a fact which Invests his utter
ances at thin time with more than ordinary
ilgnlflcance.

Why don't you kick , Clallln , because your

Mliidcn C'azetto ( iep ) . Poor old Poyn
ter ! Ills recoid has always been that of a
prohlbit'ionist until ho was nominated for
governor on the combination ticket , then
when he is Informed that his i ositlon will
cost him some votes he bridles his con
science , sacrifices n life long pilnclple , nnd
lowers his manhood by saying ho didn't
mean it Is this the kind of a man foi
the pcopfe of Nebraska to trust with the
administration of the state's nffniis ?
Cr.iHfoid Tribune ( repOld ) Soldiers
whoso nlloglanco has heretofore been cast

hcarcr , M. L. Hayward , Is ono of the best
lopresontntlvca of the old soldier to bo
found on cnith. Kvery old soldier --liiuld
vote for Hayward in preference to Poyntcr.

bition paper in the state , is out In both
pose : and poetry for Poynter for governor ,
notwithstanding the fict that the edltoi has
been n lifelong repnbllcin , but at present
Ills hatred of Catholics and his love of pro
hibition induce him to support Ills prohibi

consistency is complete , however , when the

Sydenham appears to have let his hatred of
Catholics and his ardor for piohibltlon drive
his reason away.
Tekamah Herald ( rep. ) : The last legls

instances the present law has Increased the
fees over tenfold Now1 Mr. Porter Is out
with n card claiming that the Increased re
ceipts are duo to his administration of the

is this method to fool the people. Mr.
Portei's connection with the at
tempted buiglaty of the ballots during
the last legislature , for the purpose of

that thcio would lie even bigger scandal

with the toifelture of school land leases
During the hard times a large number of
farmers got behind In their leases nnd so
last year when there was n chance of th
state getting what was back on leases thu
leases were declared foi felted. There seems
to he a strong suspicion nbroid that If the
tenant was a good reformer some filend
would lease the land and the tenant would
remain and of course he would not have
to pay any baek taxes. If per chance ho was
a republican , of course he would lose his
place and all ho had Investe-d there , la both
case's the state lost the back money.
North Platte Tribune' ( rep ) The popu
list papers are howling with delight over
the statement that Secietaiy of State Porter
ter has during the past eighteen month.s
collected and turned over to the state 120-
000 In fees. To be honest with the'lr read
ers the pop papers should state facts ; they
bhould state that of the above amount $1.1-
iiOO was the corporation fee of the Union
Pacific that was not collected by Poitcr. It
was not entrusted to him for a single mo
ment , but was turned into the treasury di
rect by the agent of the Union Pacific. The
payment of thU fee would have been made
Just the same If n democrat or a republican
had been secreary of state. It was not made
through any "mitingement" of Porter or
other populist state officials , yet they are
attempting to make the voters believe that
they are entitled to all the credit. Instead
of turning $20,000 In fees Into the state
treasury , Secretary Poiter has turned In
less than $7.000.
