Editor Independent: Nearly all the talk wehavenow-u-duvs ii about "war", and it would pleuse any patriotic citized to hour the sentimeut expressed relative to the keeoiuir pos session of all land we may take during the present strife. A vast iriujority think we should bold every foot of territory acquired by conquest, except Cuba. My entinient is so deeply seated thut I do not wish to act with any party thut fa vors giving back any land where one of our dead soldiers or sailors is buried We buy the land with blood and let our dead boys rest under the old Dug, shaded by the palm or rungs tree, where no foreigner can pull down old glory urn! trouble the sacred dust. This maybe called u mere sentiment not worth a omenta thought, but we are the only nation on earth that has fought the good fight for "huciauity" then those who fight u, or tire In sympathy with our foes, are inhuman. If our fight is to better inunkiud, then let us keep our boys safe from any vandal baud, and when we decorate the graves of the boys of 18fll.5 let us have it possible that friends muy plant the ruse and old glory where it will remain unmolested over those who die for the grandest cause men die for. As this may be culled deviation from our "truditioiiHl policy" us it is called or termed, we might say thut for over eighty years our policy was to rob the black man of his liberty. Was that Luinuuily7 W e are climbing the dome of civilization with ropid feet, and shall we step one toot backward and give to human devils ull we tuke from them lor their crimes? liut my mind wanders buck to a period ol two years, when we were in the midst of a politicui campaign, and we were called "fools, anarchists, repudiators and a vfist number of other pet names, because we wished to control our own money. 1 said then that If a war cume to us wo would find ull, or nearly all the nations we were to associate with in an international conference unfriendly. Jlowmuny patriotic men of any party would ish to have Germany. France, Spuin or Austria dictate to us bow much silver we should put iu a dollur, or how thick steel to put on our buttle ships, or iiowmuuy men we should call out to lick any nation that tread on Uncle Nam's coat. We cun build just as good dollars, or battleships as any nation on earth and there is just us much souse for us to go it alone in one case as the other. Not one men iu a hundred wishes an alliance with L'ngtund to assist us in our fight for humanity, flow many wuut any nution to help us make a dollur. Suppose we make a silver dollar wit h theeugle on one side uud a starving Cuban child engraved on the other, would you like to bundle it? How muny would pay such money out for a square meal, und sit down und eut their food with relish? Huppose we change the stamp and put on one side the Goddess of Liberty and on the other a medalliwu of a poor Kuseian peasant going to Siberia with a ball and chain dragging along to make bun happy, for saying a word lor "liberty". We might picture on one side on emblem of French love of the poor Arabs. "If u tribe of Arubs wont surrender, Hake them alive in caves to make them tender." I give you those few thoughts on the wing, and hope thut ull the citizens of the United States will be patriotic enough to use the last dollur wecuu coin.uo mutter of what mat trial made, be fore we ask aid of Irieud or foe of foreign land, to iiMHist us in anything we can do ourselves. Uncle Hum run cruck any bug thut he can find on the head of old moth er eurth, and he can hold any lund he muy wish to cover one of his dead boys. He is by fur the biggest turtle iu the tunk.

We congratulate the people on capa ble and bonest management of local af fairs, upon increased comfort aud de creased expense in all state institutions since they passed from republican con trol; upon added resources and facilities for educating their children; upon les sened interest at horueand higher stand ing abroad: in short, upon the fulfill ment of pledges made by the reform forces aud a complete refutation of all the trloomy predictions that caused some voters to hesitate about placing me power oi auminisirauou in our bands. We promise our best effort for the election of a legislature favorable to the return of Hon. W. V.
