SPAIN'S

A PAPER FOR THE PEOPLE.

DUDDLESTON, Editor

THE story of a Spanish soldier being able to hit Blanco in the leg was promptly discredited.

THE Demo-Pop conventions are very skittish about "imperialism" as they yet do not know where they are at.

THE Cubans under Garcia are proving their right to be free by their loyal co-oper-ation with the army of liberation.

THE telegraph operator is at the head of our column in Cuba. Weyler always pushed the type writer to the front.

IF anyone is neglecting a bill to buy war bond he can remember that the creditor will accept the bond. Try him once.

WE are glad to hear that the six shots from the Vesuvius carried dismay among the Spaniards but we want more gore and less dismay on the Spanish side.

THE esteemed Gazette said editorially that the Philippines eat live raw flsh. It knows it is so because a live flsh was served at a banquet in Nagasaki, Japan.

IN some of the states the Democrats are still selling themselves to the Populists and silver Republicans, but cheap as they sell themselves they will not get their price.

WK laughed at Evansvillo for its wail, ing when it could not get a regiment camped there. Local papers here misrepresent Terre Haute in making a fuss about the enlistment of a few privates for Co. B. as if hotels are to be euriched by the coming and going of a score of recruits. The trail of the dollar is on such patriotism.

AM, must admire the Gazette's reserve, of which it has spoken, in criticisiug McKiuley while conducting a war. It merely reprints next to editorial, which is its purest reading matter, the abuse of the New York World. The editor of the Gazette wouldn't hang a dog on the evidence of tho World but ifc is different in partisan matters.

IT was a conscientious actor who used to black himself from head to foot when he played Othello. W. J. Bryan thought it necessary to dress for his part when he spoke against imperialism at the Omaha exposition and put ou his new uniform. This nation is not to be scared by "imperialism." It can IKS imperial in magnitude, destiny and influence aud can extend the blessings of liberty to yet unowned lands without sacrificing an iota of its own liberties. Westward the course of its empire takes its way.

SOMK of the war writers like to scare themselves, and their readers by dread imagiuings. How they magnified the power and su if tness of the Spanish fleet which now is little more thau painted ships on a painted sea. Lately they have discovered that our great, stately fleet of invasion would not be able to land the troops at Santiago in the face of the batteries and troops which they suddenly discovered, but the troops went ashore a& if on a picnic. We can afford to be optimistic and are foolish when we are not. There may be losses but riot in proportion to the forces or results. It is not unreasonable to hope that the last fight will la? at Santiago aud that Havana will (all without a blow, as an assault is not the only way of capturing a city.

TUK challenge by Cleveland and Bryan to justify the extension of the United States government over whatever Spanish territory may be taken in this war will be promptly accepted by a majority of the people. As the right to make war includes the right to occupy and hold the enemy's territory, we have not to discuss so much the nation's right to extand its beneficial form of government over strange lands aa the motives which inspire

failure to assist any of its

colonies since the war's outbreak is not as much a sign of heartless indifference as of sheer helplessness. Be sure that wherever Uncle Sam touches Spain his finger will sink into putty.

IT is a little late to discuss the merits of Hawaiian annexation. That question has been settled in favor of annexation by the majority of voters as was shown by the overwhelming vote in the house. We cannot have any unattached islands lying inside of our western meridian.

IT has been alleged the Hawaiians lack sufficient intelligence to become Ameri cans. Their newspaperfcjtiad enough enterprise to get out a flrst-rate Spanish incendiary story when our ships left Honolulu for Manila. If not bright enough for America they are good enough for New York.

FOHKION military men criticise Gen. Miles for wearing civilian clothes when not on active duty. Others criticise William J. Bryan for putting on his new uniform to visit tho Omaha exposition, make a speech and become a part of the show. These emiuent military men should be allowed to dress themselves.

SavingsHmocUMm, to

rivalry of other nations and commercial spirit are not enough to justify na in a career of conquest, but these do not account for the beginning of the war with Spain. It was begun solely for the extirpation of Spanish rule in the western hemisphere.- We declared that the Cubans should no longer endure the oppression and neglect of a nation unfit to role and incapable of governing. With as much consistency and honor the United States can say after the occupation of Porto Rico and the Phillipines that it will never allow those islands to be returned to government unfit to rule Cuba. As peoples the Cubans are no nearer to us by blood and civilization than the Porto Rican and Philippine people. We cannot return them to Spanish misrule and religion. We have no right to hand them over to Japan, Great Britian or Germany. If they are not ours to keep they are not ours to give or sell. Are they ours to give over to insurrection and internicine wars? After destroying the mother, for Spain was their unnatural mother, we are responsible for the orphan until it becomes self-supporting. The least the United States can do will be to establish a provisional government for the protection of its wards from invasion and the development of enlightened local government under which the native people can be as free and progressive as the people of our territories, as free as Australia and as loyal to the parent government. The Americans who say the United States cannot beneficially, honestly and wisely do this, an** there area few who do, insult their people and the genius of their insti tutions. The United States can do no finer thing for itself, no greater good for millions of people, than to extend its government and protection over the Spanish colonies. Americans must abandon their pride and their pretensions that they have the best form of government on earth if they confess that they cannot extend it to other people, or if they shrink from undertaking to do so when fugitives from Spanish tyranny invite it.

HARRISON PARK CASINO.

A GREAT REVIVAL OF VAUDEVILLE. Commencing Sunday Matinee, a very strong vaudeville bill will be presented to the patrons of the ever popular Casino, prominent among which are Miss Elvira Frenchelli, late of the "Little Tycon Co.," assisted by Thomas Lewis, late of "The Old Homestead" and the "Twentieth Century Girl Co." in a repertoire of lyric gems. This act is entirely new to the patrons of vaudeville. It is something on the order of opera without a ballet. It has made a decided hit wherever presented.

The Randalls, one of the novelties of the season are very clever acrobatic dancers, and last season were the principal stars of Hyde's Comedians, one of the best vaude" ville organizations on the road.

The Aherms, William and Minnie, sensational acrobats, equilibrists, and trick ladder and perch artists are very strong in their act, such as is generally one of the star features of a circus and for a few moments will remind one of pleasant evenings spent under the white tent.

Lavender and Thompson, a pair of very clever dancers and singers are entertainers of no mean ability.

The performance to conclude with the K. of P. cakewalkers for the championship of Terre Haute, participated in by a delegation from each of the K. of P. lodges of this city, for a solid gold medal. The contest being between the following eight couples of well known Terre Haute Pythians:

Buff Kaufman and Miss Mandy Moon. John Kadel and Miss Snowball Lynch. Geo. Wolf and Miss Ambolena Gates. Henry Smith and Miss Bessie Edwards. Dick Armstrong and Miss Addie Lambert.

Geo. Greenleaf aud Little Eva Corson. Will Reif and Miss Lavina Luce. Frauk Riche and Grace Jones. This will certainly prove to be one of the events of the season. The people are beginning to realize the fact that the Casino is open every night in the season and the patronage is constantly increasing.

The Mackay Opera Co. closes its engagement to-night, and will give a very satis factory performance. In their repertoire of

Said Pasha," "Olivette" and "Chimes of Normandy," each piece was exceptionally well presented, the size of the company taken into consideration. Next week being K. of P. week, an exceptionally strong vaudeville bill, has been provided for the entertainment of the Pythians and their families, and each night many new faces are seen among the audiences, and during the warm evenings the part park is decidedly the pleasantest place to go

The price of admission remains the same, and no doubt this will be the banner week in the history of the Casino.

Peary, the Explorer, on Baking Powder*. Those going to the Klondike must remember that a reliable baking powder is an absolute necessity. If, after a long and expensive trip and the great cost of transportation, the baking powder proves inferior or has lost its strength, the miner will be practically helpless. It is no time or place to experiment. What is required is a baking powder that has actually stood the test of the arctic climate.

The weH-known explorer, Lieut- Peary, U. S. X., says of Cleveland's baking powder, which he used on his Arctic Expeditions "Cleveland's stood the tests of use in those high latitudes and severe temperatures perfectly and gave entire satisfaction. Mrs. Peary considers that there is no better baking powder made than Cleveland's. I shall take it again on my next Expedition.^

[CONTINUED FBOM FEB8T PASS.] Haven, Conn., were and probably are to day, the owners of some extremely valuable sugar estates, near Remedlas, about 200 jnfl«m from Havana, which has enriched three generations of heirs and owners.

As nearly aa I can ascertain, about 200 Americans of pure Anglo-Saxon bloodthat is, not counting the naturalized Cuban-Americans—own property in Cuba. Among them is Mr. Ramon Williams, formerly of Baltimore, who was once our consul general at Havana.

The Spanish-American Iron Company, which has its main office in New York and ia made up largely of capitalists who have been active in the iron-ore business in the Lake Superior region, have also done an extensive business in Cuba. The Colbys, the Elys and the Rockefellers are the chief stock owners. A few years ago the company acquired control of several thousand acres of valuable iron ore deposits between Santiago and Guantanamo, on the south side of Cuba. A very large amount of money was expended in exploring the pioperty, opening mines and establishing facilities for handling the output. There is no harbor nearer than Santiago and in order to ship ore economically, it was necessary to construct an artificial harbor by building a great break-water on the open coast. Extensive loading piers were built, large enough to load four steamers at a time. All these preparations were practically completed several years before they were put to any use. No shipments were made, because the company adopted the policy of waiting for advantageous market conditions. The reduction of the duty on iron-ore from seventy-five cents to forty cents per ton, and the increased demand for Bessemer iron ore in eastern Pennsylvania finally started the shipments. The Spanish-American Iron Co. made a contract with the Johnson Steamship Co. to transport 30,000 tons of ore to ports north of Cape Hatteras. A good deal of it was discharged at Port Richmond, and carried to furnaces, along the line of the Philadelphia & Reading railroad.

That is the third large company which has opened iron mines in Cuba. The oldest and largest is the Juragua Iron Co., which is jointly owned by the Pennsylvania Steel Co. and the Bethlehem Iron Co. The Sagua Iron Co. was also organized in Philadelphia. It is estimated that these three companies have invested not less than ten million dollars in Cuban mining property.

The most important Island in the 0»naiy gronp fe Tenerife, whose famous mountain is known to navigators as one of the most imposing landmarks in the world. The mountain rises 12,182 feet above the sea, the peak having the form of a sugar loaf. Considering the faot^— that the island is itself a mountain, springing almost perpendicularly from the ocean, the bottom of which is six miles below, Tenerife is the loftiest peak in the world. Beside it Mont Blanc is a pygmy. Cotopaxi, Kinchinjtmga and Mount Everest dwindle by comparison. While all the islands are volcanic and all contain evidences of very recent action, Tenerife is the only one which still continues in eruption.

The summit of the mountain is a circular wall, inclosing a crater a mile in diameter and over 100 feet in depth. From the offing, and even from the seashore, the sides of Tenerife seem as though carved by hand, but the immense size of the mountain is in proportion to this crater, although it seems incredible to the looker on that at the mountain top there shonld be one of the largest craters in the world. The great crater of Tenerife has been quiescent ever since the island was rediscovered by Europeans early in the fifteenth century, but in scores of places on the mountain side there are smaller craters which continually emit sulphurous steams and gases and occasionally throw out small quantities of lava.—St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

Rossi*.

The lack of machinelike discipline in the Russian soldiery is truly Asiatic, and so are the stagnation, patience, suffering and squalor of the people. In Russia they are drunken, instead of being gamblers and opium smokers as in China. The absence of a middle class and the gulf that takes its place are Asiatio conditions. In Russia no man except a member of the cabinet or a diplomat dares to discuss politics.

In other Asiatic countries the people are not forbidden to discuss them, beoause they have never shown any inclination to do so. No more do the 119,000,000 muzhiks of Russia. Their intel lectual activity never goes beyond the affairs of village, family, farm or em ployment. Their most active interest is in religion, but they make of that such a mere tissue of forms and mechanical or automatic practices that it is carried on without any more mental effort than the activity of a victim of St. Vitus dance.

The leaven of progress is not in the muzhik any more than it is in the cooly. If Russia's system of govern ment is to be threatened or altered, it must be by the 10,000,000 who reflect the European ideals in their dress and manners and who present fertile ground for the propagation of European reforms. Russia's danger is from the top the bottom is sodden.—Julian Ralph in Harpers Magazine.

Friendship.

Hazen—I like to see a man stick by his friends. Now, for instance, if a man told you I was an ass you wouldn't join right in with him, would you?

Dilby—No, sir, I'd rebuke him. I'd 11 him that the truth should not be all occasions.—Boston Tran-
