Hon. Calvin S. Brioe is now devoting his attention to China. He is unable to secure any more Senatorial concessions in Ohio. • 1 Col. Roosevelt has acquired the unqualified disapproval of the Democratic newspapers and to such an extent that he is now a shining target for their abuse. ■— 1 " 1 % American capital is about to engage in railroad building in China. This will mean more orders for American mills and more employ ment for American workmen. The Chicago Democrats have decided to go into the campaign without a platform. The Chicago

Democrats realize that too-much-platform was the trouble in 1896. ;ff f; : : > m .i.iiihii ■ | While General Weyler is en--1 gaged in making fresh predictions ' and threats his attention should be called to that victorious march jhe was to lead from Boston to San Francisco. i. ' - j It should be remembered that j even with a war on its hands the Republican party has made a better record with the national debt than* the Democracy made with their free trade-tariff-for-revenue-only law in the piping times of peace. Here are some facts: The death rate in the American army of 240,000 men engaged in the Spanish war for four months of service was 5.2 per 1000, equal to 16.2 per year, which is lower than the death rate in London. In 1861 the mortality from disease in the Union army was 25 per 1000. In the Crimean war the death rate in the British army was nearly 200 to 1000. The American artpy in Cuba got off remarkably well considering the season. The camp of Col. Pettitt’s regiment (the 4th U. S. Immunes) located at Fredericksburg, Va., furnishes an example of what a competent officer can do for his command. The instructions from the War Department to Col. Pettitt were the same as received by all other commanding officers in the various camps. No cases of fatal sickness have occurred in his camp. The orders were the same and the furnishings by the Department were the same as in other camps. Yet by strict attention to business Gen. Lee has been able to carry .his troops through with but a few cases of fatality. Thus the record is clear ing up and the people are beginning to understand that defamation and fault-finding must have an end.

When the President oalled out for volunteers they were apportioned among the States, the law authorizing the appointment of the officers by the governors thereof. Fifteen of the States now have Democratic governors, therefore the officers attached to the various regiments recruited in those States were appointed by their goveronrs, and of course are not a oharge in any manner, shape or form upon the Republican administration of President MoKinley. Six States have Populist governors, hence the troops recruited in these States were officered by men chosen by the Populists. It will be seen that out of 44 States, 21 are governed by men who are not Republicans, and it is supposed that one-half of all the officers came from these States, or nearly so, therefore we have a divided responsibility if politics in appointments is to be considered. The tenacity of the free-silver cause creates no surprise. It is due to the enormous wealth of a score or more of silver miners in some of the western states who for years past have maintained a silver lobby in Washington and haYe flooded the country with seductive literature which remained unanswered until the campaign of' 1896 was inaugurated. According to the report of the Granite Mountain Company of Montana to the Director of the Mint, as long ago ,as 1887, when silver sold for 90 cents, the percentage of labor to profit was, for labor 13.28; profit 86.72. From official reports it can be shown that silver is mined profitably at prices ranging from 12£ to 25 cents an ounce. Reports give the production of the Broken Hill mine, of New South Wales, for 1889, at over 10,000,000 ounces of pure silver and the cost of production at not quite Bd. per ounce, or about 15 cents per ounce fine. The cost of production of an ounce of flue silver in Mexico averaged 44j} cents; in South and Central America the cost of the

>• * production of an ounce of fine silver was 341 cents per ounce. The silver product of the Mansfield copper mine in Germany in 1883, according to Prof. Austen, was 21§ cents. By the improved process of Claudet for treating copper ores' in Britain, the cost of the silver product was 10$ cents an ounce fine. The product of the Granite Mountain Mine of Montana in 1886, according to the statement worked out by the Director of the Mint, was 19,316 tons of silver, and the cost of $6.06 per ton, reduction sl3 per ton, yielding 2,987,754 ounces of fine silver. The cost of production was $368,162.96, equal to cents per ounce. But the owners of the large silver mines ask that the price be restored to $1.29 an ounce, so that the profit, as in the case of Granite Mountain mine, would be $1.16| an ounce. Some months ago when Congressman Crumpacker took the unpatriotic and unßepublican side in the Hawaii matter, and aggravated the offense by a letter to a Monon man, in which Reed was glorified and the president disparaged, The Republican asked that Mr Crumpacker be retired from the ticket and replaced by a man more in sympathy with his constituents. We do not like Mr. Crumpacker’s course any better now than we did then, but as there is no longer any hope of a change in the ticket, we shall make the best of the situation and support the ticket as it is. Since his Hawaii vote and his Monon letter we have considered Mr. Crumpacker a pretty poor kind of Republican, but poor as he may be, we believe it will be much better for the country to have him in Congress from the Tenth Indiana district, rather than a free-silver, free-trade Democrat like his opposing candidate on the Democratic tic ket.
