Troojw have been lauded at Manila and Santiago, but it will be sometime before an engagement lake* place, as it will require several days to land the soldiers and the munitions of war. The blockade at the; Several important points still remains ungall made in a lew 4»f- for 75,000 volunteers for the t‘uU«if war. The Cuban insurgents are doing most of the fighting at present and have succeeded in capturing a large number of prisoners and taking several important points. General Blanco, the leader of the Spanish forces at Havana, was shot ami badly •rounded. Hobson, the hero of the Merrimac, and his companions are still prisoners of war. The Spaniards still refuse to exchange them for prisoners taken by the Americans. Sampson's fleet bombarded Morro Castle' at Santiago and demolished it. The naval fleets are waiting the command from Wash-1 iaglon. A move trill be made to capture Porto Rico within the next waek. The last firing at Santiago was Sunday morning, when the Vesuvius seat three more of her terrible dynamite .shells to the ridge west of Santiago, destroyi ng a portion of the powerful batteries located there. Hie man at Camp McCaila ate now having a- quiet time. Cuban scouts ro|«rt that fully 800 Spaniard* were killed in the three days'fighting. It is now officially admilled that the wreck of the Merrimac does not block the entrance to Santiago harbor. . j The forces under General Lee and the men now at Mobile have received order*, to prepare for movement to Cuba. It is expected that immediately after the fall of Santiago a large part of the army there will move on to Porto Rico. The transport* now there will hr held in the vicinity to take the men on to Porto Rico. The plans of the war department now contemplate such a movement of troops to Cuba as will provide a wall seasonal army of at least DO.OOO men for the invasion of Porto Rico, leaving enough force with the aid of the Insurgents to hold Santiago province.

4g tV* real ni tbe tmtiMt famine. says the Detroit Tribune. All other explanations are bogus and are in the nature ctf a violation of the New Totk Commercial Advertiser’s copyright. After hammering his head in the Kt up agony of thought far several n the editor of that altogether in* teresting partisan sheet has decided that the Indian famine is the direct re* toll of the silver crane. “Fate is pursuing the free silver lunatics,” he says. “During the latter half of last year’s campaign the price of diver went down, down, (town and the price of wheat went up, up, up Now the people of India, the greatest consumers of silver for monetary purposes in the world, age starving. ” Being a stiff necked and haughty generation, the advocates of free silver will likely as not contradict this,'but we do not understand how they can do it in view of The Commercial Advertiser’s facta It is as plain as day. There is a large amount of silver coin in circulation in India There is a large and constantly increasing population. By mason of the droughts the great wheat crop was a failure, and there is nothing for the natives to eat. Therefore it is self evident that if it had not been for the silver there would have been no drought, there would have been no large and constantly increasing population, the wheat crop would not have been a failure, and the natives would all be as fat as woodchucks in October. It was our original intention to prove that the drought and the population and the failure of the wheat crop were the direct results of the closing of the Indian mints to silver, but in the face of The Commercial Advertiser’s reasoning we have not the courage to do it. Hereafter it must be considered an Axiom of politics that while one man alone on a desert island, maintaining a bimetallic standard, would pine and droop from starvation, two men on a desert island, maintaining the gold standard, would wax fat and opulent, and upon their return to civilised lands would be enabled to buy a seat in the United States senate, if their fancy so pleased. WRONG END FOREMOST. How a lie publican Newspaper Would Raise tiie Price of Com. The Dos Moines Register offers a remedy for low priced corn. It is to open the mills and factories. As usual. The Register hitches the horse on behind the cart. There is only one thing preventing the mills and factories from opening, and that is that the people who buy the products of mill and factory have no money. And they have no money because com is too cheap and money too dear. Tbe Register's policy has legislated the value out of property into dollars, and the dollar is now more valuable as a dollar than it is in the shape of property. Now, if The Register will fix it so as to make com and other farm product0 return a profit to the producer, the mills and factories will open of their own accord. But the factories can open up right now and run day and night if the owners so desire. But the selling of the manufactured product is another matter. Com is not low because the factories are idle, but the factories are idle because com and other products are low. If The Register could grasp this distinction, it would forsake the error of its way. But it cannot, and it will go right on hitching the horse to the tailboard of the cart and wondering why it does not secure an easy ride. Get the horse before the cart Give ns a policy that will bring arising market far farm products, and the mill and factory doors will fly open with such farce that the hinges will break.—Omaha World-Herald.

A REIGN OF SPOILS. BcaeluMB to Be Rewarded by the Hew Administration. Mr. McKinley, we are now told, is to return to the old method of allowing Republican congressmen and senators entire control of the patronage in their districts and states. Certainly he is. Mr. McKinley will be asking more of congress than has any other president within a generation. He will have a distinctive McKinley policy to enforce, and a president in such a position is always at the mercy of congressmen so far as patronage is concerned. Not only will Mr. McKinley give congressmen control of "the available patronage/* but he will, at their insistence and suggestion, take advantage at every defect in the civil service law to let their henchmen and retainers into office. As the civil service law is as full at defects as a sieve is of holes, it will not be a year after the McKinley inauguration until the federal service is filled with Republicans, i We predict, says The Post-Dispatch, ' that the McKinley administration will *be the most pronounced “spoils” administration the country has recently seen. The prophesy is worth making a note of. McKinley's new tariff bill will probably have the names of the campaign subscribers that are interested in each industry attached to the eevemlperar graphs as reminders for 1900 when they may be “touched” again. In New \ork c% k 1696 there were ■ 100,000 people who could not pay their | tent Our financial system is touching i both their customers. . VMtcd to Appsar.
