Cripple Creek hud another lire last week which -destroyed wliat was Wt of the business part of the place. the Spanish cruelties still continue in 'Cubuand the president, of the United :Ktates still cootieue to do nothing .in lite matter. la Spain more than 68 per ceat of the people are illiterate. That in part c coat for the cruelties in Cuba. A na tion can hardly be called civilized when tuily one person out of live can read or write. The last issue of tbe Xdyraiku Eilitor chronicles the absorption of one paper wy another; the consolidation of nix other by twos, and the suspension of suae others within the past thirty days. Much things go to prove that even news 4spers cannot exist on wind. Tbe shah of Persia was shot on last Friday by a revolutionary fanatic, us he wax entering a place of worslup. The MMBMiin was disguised as a woman. No trouble followed tha death of the mon arch, which occurred very shortly after .tile shot. Utill aew aspirants bob up for the state oMcea which are open this year. There seems to be more who are willing to erve the dear people in the capacity of governor than either of the other places. There are plenty who desire to be either treasurer or auditor so that noue of the Uces will go begiug. Tbe straight or administration demo crat held their state convention at Lin coln last week. Tobias Castor lieads the list of delegates to the national demo cratic national convention, and the rest sum the same kiod of people. Almost very county in the state was repre sented, the list of delegates having been published. The outcome ut Chicago will be wutciied for with interest. J. A. Habegger and Frank Currie, lioth of Dawes count v, are said to be candi dal for the republican nomination for representative in this district. This is tha year when the greatest .care should tm taken to select the best and most available men for candidates that suu cest may be hud at the polls. No one -should allow bin ersoaal ambition to interfere with the interests of lias party. Some of the papers are discussing the filan of an editorial association for the western part of the state. Such an or ganization would no doubt be of benefit Co those who ou Id attend the meetings, hut the way the lines of travel run it is very iaconvenient for rwople in tbe west ero art of tbe state to gather in any town is the part of the state interested. It M amen easier for most uf them to reach Omaha or Lincoln th in any of the towaslocated oa railroads other than the which they reside. The state superintendent of public in struction has issued an oflicial circular o the superintendents of the counties of tbe stute in regard to the enforcement of tha compulsory school law. Under it ' hildrea hetweeg certain ages are to be eot to ecfcoel fur at least twelve weeks during the year. Parents who do not comply with the law will be called to account if Uie county superintendents do what they are under oath and bond to do a a forcing the law. h is reported that an effort will be made to turn down Attorney' General tJhurvbill for a second term. It has fceoaarulein the republican party of Tfeoraaka when a state olHcial baa done Ms duty for ooe Urm to give him the woeaiaatioa for a second term. Uf aatim, a proves unfit for tbe po Mot) it would be the proper thing to retire him at the ead of bis Orst term. Tb Indications are that all the other re fMiWicaas who are serving their first i will he renominated for second i without opposition, awl the Igbt m OhttrvWU m most likely lite result of Ilk asftleos at. other Douglass county i to yttca o the state ticket. No I cum ssems to bt given for the at- Utupt U Mil biu off. One good term slewrruA ututU'b ' , Utah is considered to I a Rrent silver state, but site is just issuing $".'00,000 iu hood made siyable io gold. That ii a significant straw. The old Camp Sheridan reservation in Sheridan county in oowr open for settle ment. A settler ha to comply practic ally with tha homestead laws and at the J of live years pay the appraised value of the land, either all at once or in five payment. All necessary information nmy be ohtained from the officials of tlie Alliance land otlice. Irrigation matters in the vicinity of Ora ford have got in court. The parties interested in what is known astheOrabla ditch have brought suit to restrain t.U those above them from taking water from White river and itK tributaries for the purpose of irrigation. Water rights will cause a good deal of litigation, but once nettled it will lix the value of much property. , Ed Whiteotub, editor of the Frierd Telegraph, is said to te a candidate for state senator in his district. It has long been admitted that when standing with lioth feet on the ground Bro. Whib'omh can cover more territory thrin any other newsauer man in the Mate, and that fact ought to help him in his canvass. Should he pet there with lioth fet there would be one good member of the next senate. The result of tha republican state con vention in Illinois last week settles the matter of Culloni being a candidate be fore the national convention as the dele (fates elected are for MtKinley. It seems now tint it is simply a matter of majority with him. It is six weeks yet before the convention and that is time for many thing to happen, iiut un less something out of the ordinary hap pens McKmley will have a majority of the convention at the opening of the i session, ihe action of the people all over the nation in regard to him is un exampled in the history of the nation. There has leen quile a commotion in legal circles over a recent decision of the supreme court. It has been the practice of the judges of the district courts of the state to accept a plea of guilty by those charged with crimes and to sentence them at once, although it was not dur ing a regular term of court, thus saving the county wherein tlie crime was com mitted the expense of keeping the pris oner until the next regular term of court. The supreme court has held that such proceedings outside of term time was irregular and a numlwr of convicts have obtained their freedom as the re sult thereof. Auditor Jloore has withdrawn his at tack on the constitutionality of mutual insurance law and says it a as a mistake and he did not intend to heln the old line companies. He hopes thereby to increase his chances for the nomination for gov ernor, but it is more than likely that the people of the state will want a mnn for governor who will know that he is right before he goes into a matter of so much importance and one who will find out that he has made a mistake before be has been roasted for weeks by the press of the state. There may be some excuse for Mr. Moore having taken a wrong v sition in the lirst pla-e, but there is no excuse for his attempting to maintain it for so long. What War Xtiit .Uran far Spain. Thus when, for really effective pur poses of modern naval warfare, our pres ent fleet is compared with that of puin, it is not extravagant to estimate that ours is quite three or four times as pow erful. ' Our Atlantic squadron alone, now under the command of Rear-Admiral I! n nee, would at least with the aid of two or three ot!er of our swift cruis ers, quite ea:tily suffice to annihilate the Spanish navy. Tlie war, if it were declared, would probably be an extreme ly brief one, consisting of a naval en gagemeut or two in the general vicinity of Cu'a. The encouragemeul which tlie Cuban insurgents would derive from hostilities botweeo Spun and the United States would enable them to make speedy work with General Weyler's troops. The outcome, then, of a declar ation of war by Spain against the United States would seem unquestionable. Spain A-oiild lose her navy and lose Cuba too, in a few disastrous days. Yet it has for months been tlie opinion of the most competent observers of matters diplo matic and international, that the recog nition of the beiligerancy of Uie Cuban insurgents by our government would be met with a prompt declaration of war on Spain's part. Even Castelar seems ready to light us. From "Tlie Progress of tlie World,' in May Review of Re views. Ripans Ripans Ripans Ripans Ripans Ripans Ripans Ripans Ripans Ripans Ripans Tabultt.
