Chairman. ED. R. SlZKK See Free silver is a thing of the past. Annexation is the boog a boo that troubles the reformers now. After the campaign of lHOO, VV. J. Bryan, wrote a book and called it “The First Battle. The question is will his second battle be with the Spaniards. If the German Admiral, Von Deidrichs provokes un open rupture at Manila, he is altogether liable to be in the same position the Dutch man was that caught the bear asleep on u log and slipping up behind him caught him by the hind legs, Hopped him over and held him fast for a 8pell. He will be calling pretty soon for some one to help let him go. Dewey is a bad man to fool with. The Saturday Review (London) seems to be considerable surprised that the green Yankee soldiers could stand before the trained hosts of Hpain and vanquish them as they did, und also seems to think that the United States should not presume to jump from a third class power to a tlrst, all at one single hop. “Keep your shirt on “Cousin Jack”, the Yankees have surprised you twice before. t • • . 11 ' * ' ‘ The Kansas papers say that the pops have levied a ten per cent as sessment on all commissioned officers in the volunteer service of the Unit ed States, that were appointed as such by governor Leedy, ibat means ten per cent of their sailary while in the war. It may be so but we kuow one commissioned officer among the Kansas troops at Manila, that they can't levy tiibuteon and collect it. Two presidents asking the United States to annex their countries and thereby throwing them out of a job is rather a peculiar phenomina. President Dole, of the Sandwich Islands has labored for some years to that end, and for the past four years he has keen the chief executive of those islands, yet he never ceased his aggitation until he accom plished it. Now the president of the Porto Itican Junta, although never aide to assume the reigns of government of his country, when he secs Spanish rule tliltering, made the request that lie he allowed to go with Miles to Porto llico, to talk to his people and tell them to affiliate with our Uoo|m.

The people docs not stop to figure that each of those countries will have a system of their own based upon the comcr cial interests of their province neith er docs he tell them that nine tenths of the inhabitants of these islands would subsist in first class shape on one tenth of the per capita that it takes for a man in the United States to live on. All of these coun tries are self supporting in times of peace besides furnisning annually a surplus revenue to support the domineering government of Spain. It is very doubtful if the great major ity of the people of these islands po sess 125.00 in money per pear. The United States will continue on the same lines she bag heretofore, and our per capita will not be re duced one cent and the pop-o doodles know it and the people who foolish ly electcil them to office won't be long finding it out either.

The exhibition of live stock ut the Trans- Mississippi Exposition will be held from Septemper III to October 20, nnd everything points to a large display. J. B. Dinsmore, commis sioner or live siock, staves uiav vuu correspondence received from intend ing exhibitors is fur larger in advance of the date for the closing of entries than it was ut the Columbian Exposi tion at Chicago. If Mr. Dinsmore's Expectation are fulfilled the exhibi tion of live stock at Omaha will be one of the finest ever given in the country. A sum of #35,000 was set aside by the directors of the Exposition to be awarded as cash prizes to live-stock exhibitors. The Union Stock Yards Company of South Omaha and a number of the breeders associations and other live stock organizations offered as premiums to live stock ex hibitors being not far short of #50, 000. The live stock exhibit is divided into six classes. Of these the poultry exhibits will be given first from September 10 to September 30. On Monday, October 3, the exhibits of cattle, horses (in which class are in eluded jack, jennets and mules), sheep aud swine will open to continue until October 20; and the fat stock will be shown from October 13 to 20 inclusive. Entries close for fat stock on August 15, and in all other clusses on August 10. Probably all of the northern states will be represented in the poultry ex hibit. Correspondence has been re ceived from prominent fanciers all over the country and the indications are that there will be a fine collection of birds. Commissioner Dinsmore, is espe cially pleased with the prospects for exhibits in cattle, sbeep anu hogs, lie says there will undoubtedly be not less than 1,0U0 cattle the same number of sheep and twice as many hogs.

They cannot con coal their dissatisfation at the success of the war under a republican admin istrution. Many of them are so rabid that a defeat of American soldiers would be hailed with delight merely because they would see in it a defeat for the republican party.
