WHILE Spanish flags captured by our soldiers are interesting1 war relics, yet a more interesting fact is noted, that not a single American flaer was captured by Spain. SrAiN pays its foreign debt in gold and compels domestic creditors to ac cept silver with a value of less than 50 cents on the dollar. Such is pros perity on the Bryan silver basis. The whole force of surgeoDSseemto have been loaded with incompetents and no censure is too severe for the brutality of some of these legally made butchers of defenseless men. The puny effort of the Journal to injure Judge Newell falls very flat when an interview is had with the men who have been in his employ. They denounce the Journal's state ments vigorously and are all in favor of Mr. Newell for senator. W. V. Allex is at the head of the State House ring, but he is not happy because of Bryan's continued absence in Florida. The election of a repub lican legislature this fall is a certain ty, and the efforts of the doughty William, if he were here, could not prevent it. CiEORGE J . GOULD is Quoted in a public interview as saying that the business outlook could not be better. It is statements like this from men in special positions to observe the situa tion and who can speak with author ity that throw a dull pall over calam ity howlers. Bee' At the end of the civil war, after four years' hard service, not a single regiment asked to be mustered out and not a case of homesickness was re ported. The troops were glad the war was ended and happy in the prospect of going home, but they awaited or ders aud did not kick. Indianapolis Journal. The Phillippine question will be settled by Spain and the United States alone, the American government hav ing decided firmly that no outside in terference will be permitted. If Ger many wants trouble she can't get it any quicker than to stick her nose in the Phillippine question right now. She knows it, and will keep clear. The death of the Lincoln I'ost is a certain indication of the waning of the silver cause as it was the officia organ of the state house coterie of eil verites, but like others who have gone before, thov found a newspaper was one of the luxuries they could no afford, especially when sound money by actual test had proven false their every promise of '96. "Cheaper than dirt" is no longe the proper expression, as "cheape than a Cuban flag" means something thatisretlly cheaper than cheapest dirt since the real character of those swarthy bushwhackers has been mad known. The merchant who bought a lot of Cuban flags will have to tear them up and adjust the stripes differ ently, and put in some white ones. Ex-Senatok Manderson would have been an ideal man for the fifth place on the paace commission, and it was much of a complement to him that the president had him in mind and would have called him to the work had it not been advisable to select democrat. The commission as it made up commands the respect of th world. It is a strong, safe committee with which to entrust our interests in this epoch making period of our na tional life.

Returns from Monday's elections in Vermont and Arkansas show thai tho republican majority in the first named state has fallen off 21 per cent, while the democratic majority in the last named slate has declined 27 per cent, as compared with the results in 18U4. If any democratic philosopher can find a modicum of comfort in these facts he is entitled to it. New York Mail and Express. It has leaked out that just at the moment of thj sitting of tho joint high commission in Canada to settle forever all disputes between the United Slates and the Dominion, a pirtyof military dignitaries arrived at Quebec, sent by tho English gov ernment to inspect the defences along the American boundary. The Can adian premier feared that the Ameri can members of tho commission would not appreciate the joke, and borrowed a private car and bundled the digni taries out to the Rocky Mountains, with plenty of fishing tackle and bait enougn t Keep in em out mere unui tho adjournment of the peace session. t is hoped that by the the time the military gentlemen return the need for defenses along the internationnl boundary will be done away with for good. State Journal. The returns in Maine show that the state has no desire to retire even tem porarily from the republican column. although the majorities will be con siderably reduced through the failure to conduct a vigorous campaign and the feeling that the result was virtu ally settled before the ballots were : cast. This is a good year to look out for the over confidence that so often loses doubtful states to the republi cans. The habit of going to the polls every time an electioa is on is an ex cellent one for every good citizen to cultivate. State Journal. One of the strongest evidences of the prosperity of the country is found n the fact that the receipts of the potofSce department in the year 1898 will reach nearly if not quite $100,000,- 000. In no previous year have they exceeded $82,000,000. The department has been so well managed that it is estimated there will be a profit of at least $5,000,000 from the operations of the year. No year since 1883 has shown a profit. State Journal. Uncle Jake Wolfe's war record turned out a very unsavory affair. He was a member of the legislature of that state, and left some footprints be hind him that he may now well wish had never been made. Wolfe was the copperiest kind of a copperhead and from his record it is evident that cowardice alone prevented his taking ud arms on the confederate side. He is a daisy to lead a reform movement INFORMATION AND OPINION. Lancaster county republicans open their campaign September 20 when Judge Hay ward will deliver an ad dress, and V. B. Dolliver, of Fort Dodge, Iowa, brother of the eloquent congressman Irom tnat state, will spe;ik. The meoting will be held in Lincoln and promises to be a rouser. Senator Hoar has bee a tendered the English mission to succeed Hay but he has not yet accepted, and on ac count of his age he may decline. Meiklejohn will be home to make a few speeches, after which he will take a short trip to Europe, the dispatches ay. AndreeV balloon is now supposed to be in the hands of Charley Ross, tic cording to the report or a verac:ous newspaper. Judge Ii.dgvr Howard is a very bright and eutertaining writer, but when he prates about "railroad icpub-licans"-in bis editorial column.it reads like a pitiful burl sque. The state house fusionists have phown themselves more abjectly subservient to railroad influence than republican ever did, and Judge Howard knows it. It is putting it mildly to say that every man of the presen t house of Holcomb is virtually mortgaged to the roads for more than he is worth. Bixbv. The war between Rose water nnd Hitchcock goes bravely op, and the exposition is a success in spite of it Without any handicaps the Trans Mississippi might have equalled the World's Fair.

Missouri has 241.00) acres of gov ernment land, most of which is rough and heavily timbered, but is remote from railroads. Tea thousand Mis-ourians have promised to attend tno exposition on Missouri day, September 23. Representative Baily of Texas is taking a mean advantage of Colonel Bryan by starting. a presidential boom for himself while the hero of the pan nic of '96 is doing military duty at Jacksonville. It is true that the gifted Texan is leoked upon hy a large sec tion of the democratic prty as the most availab-e candidate for 1900, but that will not justify him in organizing his boom under present circumstan ces. He should wail until Colonel Bryan is mustered out and then start even on their long and trying race. State Journal. The Have'.ock Times celebrated its ninth birthday last Saturday.

Butler, of pack-train No. 3, writing fiom Santiago de Cuba, on July 23, say: 'Ve all had diarrhoea in moro less violent form, and when wo landed we hal no time to cod a doctor, for it was a c isu of rush and rush night and day to keep tho troops supplied with n muni Lion and rations, but thanks to Chatnbcrl tin's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, we were able to keep at work and keep our health; in fact, I sincerly believe that at one critical time this medicine was the indirect savior of our army, for if the packers had been unable to work there would have boon no way of getting supplies to the front. There were no roads that a wagon train could use.
