Turn Sampson loosa and C-U-B-A little quick about It, he ia spoiling for a fight, Some of the Insurgents who made a vow that they would go back to Spain victors, or not at all, have gone to Heaven—we hope. The Insurgents of the Philippine s are just as deserving of our assis tance as are thoae of Cuba, and they received their full measure first. Turn Sampson loose and Havana, will fall in line with Manila, at a 2:40 gait. Germany is changing her tune and appears to be less hostile to the United States. She appears more friendly every day and their news papers were given a hint to stop their abuse of the United States. We note that a number ot our ex changes are booming A. E. Cady of 8t. Paul as candidate for governor. Mr. Cady will make a very strong candidate. In fast we know of no one who could make a better race. If the republicans nominate him we will have a standard bearer who posesses all the qualifications nec essary to make a good clean and brilliant eanvass and an honest and efficient officer. We are for Cady. When populist and democrats are heard criticising the President, and lamenting the war with Spain, it is only what the people expect, as the war has been declared by a republi can administration. Bat when “lead ing” republicans stand ap and shoot off their mouth and eocdemn it as “a sugar trust war” and that “the United States has no right to attack the Philippines.” We think it about time for them “leading republicans” to goof! and hire some one to throw manure at them, or go join the pops and feel at home. President McKinley joined the federal army before he was seven teen years old, and before he was nineteen sucoessfully handled the commissary department of General Crook's army.

TVsr i sews eVars »Ss Vests MODERN BATTLE AT SEA On the afternoon of Sunday, Sept. 16, 1861, says the Chicago Inter Ocean, a fleet of elavcn Japanese mcn-of-war, accompanied b}- torpedo boats, attacked fourteen Chinese iron clads and cruisers, alsoaucompanied by torpedo boats. The battle of ! the Yalu began at a little after 1 o’-1 clock and lasted until 6. This was not a battle, as has been ignorcntly said, between “the old junks of the Chinese navy and the well-equipped and modern fleet of Japan.” It was a fight between armored and protec ted ships and cruisers, with rapid fire guns, and with all equipments of modern science. The contending forces were not very unevenly bal lanced, though the Chinese had an advantage, not only in the number of ships, but also in a great prepon derance ot armament and armor in their two best vessels, the Chen-Yuen and the Ting-Yuen, each of these ships had a displacement of 7.4J0 tons, armor from eight to fourteen inches thick on the side, and twelve inches baarbette. Kach carried two twelve inch guns, two five and nine inch guns, and eight machiue guns. I Contrary to the frequent assertion of the uninformed that one serious concussion of shot must be fatal to a modern iron-clad, the Cben-Yuen showed \‘>0 shot holes in her side* at tbe time of ber retreat, and tbe Tiog-Yued, though leaking so badly as to be three feet down by the head, kept afloat. Tbe Chib-Yuen, a Chinese vessel of heavy armament, with a speed of eighteen and one-half knots, was accorded the honor of leading tbe Chinese van; she was struck 200 times before she went down. She carried three eight and three-tenths inch guns, two six inch eight six-pounders, and two three pounders. The King-Yuen, which rushed to her relief, went down be fore accomplishing her purpose, struck by a torpedo, as tbe Chinese say, or by a shot, as the Japenese assert. Iler armor was from live and one-half to nine and one-half in ches thick. She carried four heavy guns and seven machine guns. These were fair examples of the Chinese fleet which, after a five hours engage ment and the loss of four vessels by conflagration’ or running aground, was able to retreat to Port Arthur, where it was bottled up by the Jap anese and made of no effect until the cessation of hostilities. Not a single Japanese ship was sunk, though the flagship Matushima, steelclad, and with one twelve-inch terret, one twelve and eight.tenths inch rapidfiring and eight machine guns, was so badly crippled as to be sunt home for repairs. Two other Japanese ships suffered considerably but yet were regarded as seaworthy enough to remain with the fleet. llere, then, we have a battle be tween two fleets of modern type. It is true that in neither of them were vessels equal in speed, displacement, armor, or armament to some of those that are likely soon to engage in strife. Aut they were representative vessels of their class, and their class is that which is most numerous in every navy. The lesson of the con flict Is that modern naval warfare is neither so destructive nor so purely mechanical as certain wiseacres would have us believe. Seamanship and courage still count in lighting at sea.

It was a cozy room, with antique hangings and furniture and walls hung with handsome works of art which could be only indistinctly seen hy the light of the flickering fireontbeheurtLi. The little party agreed with the beau tiful hostess that the room was just j dark enough for a ghost story. "I don't know a ghost story,’’said one of the men, "but the dramatic rescue of the Veeudaro's passengers by the St. Louis reminds me of my experience on board the old Qallia wlu-n she was caught in a hurricane in midwinter about 70*11 miles from Queenstown. The wave* broke in our decks and flooded the cab ins, and nobody thought for a little while that any one on board the vessel would ever see land ugain. There was no panic, no shouting, no weeping, ami it seemed that all were perfectly pre pared to go, though they looked far from bappy floundering about in the water dressed in such garments as they could grasp when they were aroused from their sleep by the crash which sent tons of wator into the ship. It was about 7 o’clock in the morning. The stewards had begun to set the table for breakfast, and. as 1 recall the picture, 1 can see men and women, most of them with heavy wraps over their night dresses, standing on the table and danc ing a forced minuet between the guard rails and the dishes. “At oneendof tbocabin, whileothore were silently praying, stood a young fel low with nothing on out a huh or iiiut and white pyjamas, holding a snap camera in front of him. ‘If you folks'll hold still a minute,’ be said, ‘we'll have a picture of this if we ever get out of it.’ And for a moment people forgot the terrible situation, and 1 have alwayi believed that one of the women adjusted her water soaked gown so that she might look well in the picture taken under the shadow of the destroying un gel. " Well, we got through it all right, although wo came to Liverpool in a sad ly battered condition, and when t) y hoisted the trunks from the hold the water ran out of them as though each piece was a sieve. We had service on board the ship the Sunday following our disaster, and, although two days bad passed since we thought we were gone, we seemed only then to appreciate fully what bad happened. Men and wo men who had shown no sign of fear now moped in corners with trembling lips, unable to speak because of the lump in their throats, and the servioe of soDg was a flat failure, because no one could sing any more than the young woman at tho organ could get a note ont of that water soaked, dripping piece of furni ture. “ We reached Liverpool too late at night to leave the ship, and the men, who bad become better acquainted than they would have been on a less tem pestuous voyage, gathered in the saloon and for the hundredth time exchanged congratulations. “ ‘This was nothing, ’ said our purser, ‘to the experience I once had, and not so long ago. To go down with all bands must ho hard enough, but to be the only one of a whole shipful to go and to see all the rest saved—that’s pretty bard. That came near being my case, and 1 don’t want another similar experience. “ ‘I was an officer on the Ohio when she knocked a hole in her bottom, and I helped transfer the passengers and save what we could. When all bad been sent to the ship which came to our re lief, we made ready for the last boat lnari. nf whirh 1 win tn h« nnn W# i bad a lot of money and valuables in th« ship’s safe, and I went below, took a tablecloth from the cabin table, and into this dumped the contents of tbt various compartments of the safe. 1 made a bag of it, carried it on deck, and when I came to where the boat should have been I found that it bad gone, and 1, with the treasure, was left in the rapidly sinking ship. lean think of any uuuiber of situations which i would have preferred to mine just then. Thu wind being against me, I could not make myself heard. I put up signals, apd no one would ever guess what I did then. I wanted to keep my wits about me and block all chances for nervous ness, so I did what requires a mun't full attention—began to shave, and 1 doubt Whether I ever did a cleaner or 8 better job. '* ‘By the time I had finished my companions must have missed me, for 1 could see them returning, and when they came alongside there were not mauy inches to step down from tilt , sinking big boat to the little thing that took us away I tail you this story tc show how necessary it is to have uervt on board ship.'

I HAVE THE LARGEST AND FINEST ASSORTMENT OF Trunks and Valises Ever BROUGHT TO THE MIDDLE LOUR VALLEY. Our trade is steadily increasing and it is flattering evidence to us that our I new plan of hammering down the prices is appreciated by the public, and by adding largely to our stock, many articles heretofore sold in other stores for high prices, and selling them on a very close margin, we are gradually building up a bus iness that is highly satisfactory. We have a mammoth stock of Drv Goods, j Boots, Shoes, Hats, Caps, and Notions, all new spring goods, but we do not be lieve in selling them on large profits to make up fora sacrifice in some other de partment, because we find that we can do more business on close margin than on A large profits, and a large volume of business will give us good interest on our investment. Don't go by our store if you want a bargain in a Trunk or Valice or in fact anything to put in it. We are here to do business and have employed the aid of low prices in every department to assist us.
