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

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

Ilk asftleos at. other Douglass county

Utah is considered to I a Rrent silver

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
