In respect to tho bravery of Ilob-
non a resolution was recently intro-
thicod into congress by Undcrwoodj
the object of the resolution being to
promote Ilobson to Lieutenant Commander.
According to n dispatch thero 1ms
nrison in Uucnos Ay res a case somc-
wl at oimilar to tho Do Lome affair.
It seems that a Buenoa Ayrea news-
paper contained a scries of articles
charging tho Argentino diplomats at
Washington with having assisted
Spain.
Castellano the man who married
Miss Anna Gould of New York
fought a duel with a Paris editor. In
tho duel tho editor received thrco
wounds tho last being severe Tho
iiffair. wrs tho result of certain edito-
rial comments that tho editor lud
made.
Governor Leedy has stated his in-
tention to issuo a proclamation to do
away with the police boards in Kan-
sas. The change as affeoted by the
proclamation will give tho mayor
power to adpoint police officers. Un-
der this tho present polico loso their
right to tho offiies unless reappointed.
Concerning tho condition of affairs
at Manila ono dispatch says that on
the 15th the Spaniards had gone
without food for thirty-six hours and
that efforts to convey food to that
point wore" fruitless. Although the
Spanish 'flotilla tried repeatedly to
effect a landing it was unable to do so.
It is noted that hordes command
bolter prices in Kansas than they
have for sometime. People pay from
S75 to 160 for horses that at a time
could have been bought for half that
price. Tho advance in prices is part-
ly duo to tho demand for good horses
on farms the amount of farming be-
in? unusually large this year.
On the "17th Governor Barnes tel-
egraphed from Washington D. C
stating that the war department had
consented to allow Oklahoma to le-
cruit ono battalion of volunteers. In
the first call for troops Oklahoma was
allowed but eighty troops which was
a disappointment to many anxious to
go to tho front. This privilege of
furni4hing more troops as secured
by Governor Barnes will bo noted
with iutereit by many Oklahomans.
Tho IlardeatT Herald still contends
that tho Beaver Herald in tho dis-
cussion of tho county scat question
contradicted itself without afterwards
denying that it did so. Tho Beaver
Herald did not contradict itself in
tho article to which rcrcronco was
made as mav be serin by tho follow-
ing parallel paragraphs tho ono at
tho left being what the Hardesty pa-
per quoted from the Herald as con-
tradictory and tbo 000 on the right
being tho original statement as it ap-
peared in this paper:
"To remove tbo
county sent would
merely bo Increasing
tbo travol from tbo
Cfttt to (ho county
sent in the same ra-
tio as It would dc
crease travel from
tho WOSt. Ihui lllus-
Irating the law of
Identity that the
sumo thing Is always
tho same thine and
making no differenco
in milenge expanses.
A removnl of tbe
county seat further
west would cause a
greater mileage
therefore greater
court expenses than
'wo now haTO."
Supposing that tho
number of persons in
tbo west end was
equal lo tho number
in tbo opposite end
to remove the county
scat would merely
bo increasing the
travel from the east
te tbe county seat fn
tbe samo ratio as it
would decrease
travel from tbe west
thus illustrating the
law of identity that
the name thing is al
ways tho same thing
and ranking no dif
ference in mllcngcj
w...A.. T1..1 II.. 1
facta of the case are
as shown by tbe offi-
cial records that the
center of population
is near Heaver. A
removal of tho coun-
ty seat further west
would causo a great-
er mileage thereforo
greater court ex-
penses than wo now
have.
Prom tho foregoing comparison it
is seen that tho first sentence quoted
by tho Hardesty paper is hut a por-
tion of tho original the dependent
clauso upon which the meaning of tho
sentenco depended being omitted tho
sentence recast and differently capi-
talized to convey the idea that it con-
flicted with tho statement immedi-
ately following it as shown in the col-
umn to tho left.
Tho University of Kansas has a
largo enrollment of students. This
year thero wcro sixty-fire graduates
who received the degree of bachelor
of arts.
On the 17th tho gunboat Herman
Cortez and Bourbon battalions dis-
persed Carrelo and Gonzales near
Algcra tho Spanish loss being twelve
killed and woundod.
Suit has been brought against tho
sheriff of Kay county to preyent tho
collection of taxes for tho years 1896
and 18O7 by that county from cattle-
men in the Osugo Indian reservation.
Tho Kansas City Star states that
tho general passenger agents of tho
western and southwestern railroads
recently mit thero to take action
against the Unlawful use of stock
passes and states that 1000 of tho
passes aro wrongfully used each
month.
Advices state that one thousand
insurgents lately attacked two thous-
and Spaniards at Manila tho SptMiifh
suffering heavy losses. Manila was
completely surrounded. Women and
children were placed in tho forts for
safety and August! is said to have
signified his willingness to surrender
to tho Americans rather than see tho
capital ciptured and set on fire. Tho
insurgents have met with marvelous
success. Within two weeks they
havo taken three thousand prisonors
among whom aro tho governors of
Catite Balucau and Bataan. It is
stated that the sources of food sup-
ply for tho Spanish have beon jntor-
Last week the Hardesty Herald said:
"Any man who would rcluso to sign tho
county seat petition or any ouo who
would work against such a petition can
I ardly bo termed a ctrictly honest man
ns it is proof that ho is afraid tho major
ity will rule should tho question bo put
to a vote."
Tho matter of signiug or not signing
tho county seat petition is a matter of
opinion. It (s not a question of honesty
or dishonoaty. Thero are many men in
Beaver county who will not sign it. Tbe
Hardesty Herald has no reason for class-
ing with tho dishonest those- men who
do not agrco with that paper on tho
county scat question. "No strictly lion
est man" udIcss "strictly" ignorant
would call others dishonest because they
after having "weighed tho question Tor
several years" exercise in their deoi-
bions their own judgment instead of his.

Yotk Eveuinp Journal.
Satan ItcbUaitig Sin.
It is in keeping with the gross in-
consistency of Spanish war tactics
that government officials of that
quasi-barbaric nation should criticise
American observanco of the laws of
arms. Our bloekade procedures aro
questioned tho ethics of sinking the
Meiriraac in tho neck of Santiago
harbor being especially distasteful
and our alliance with insurgents who
may not respect tho rules of civilized
warfare is held up as "a tremendous
responsibility."
So far the United States has dono
nothing that will not stand the test
of tho rules of war as understood by
tho civilized world. As to the block
ades Spain has mado complaint to
tho European powers and the fact
that thero h'w been no protest from
them is conclusive e idence that her
caie is not a good one. The objec-
tion to the Memniau obstruction is
eimply amusing and cannotbe other-
wise regarded in any intelligent
quarter.
It is true that tho United States has
assumed a great responsibility in
making an alliance with the insur-
gents who have had a long and pecu-
liarly embittered fight against the
most cruel and oppressive of enemies;
but no ono who undersiands tho
moral as well as the physical forco of
our army and navy doubts that the
insurgentB when victory shall come
can be held in check. Admiral Dewey
has already served notico on tho in-
surgents of the Philipincs that he will
not tolrato any other than respect-
ful treatment of prisoners.
It ill becomes tho Spaniards to
prate about the nice points of milita-
ry ethics. Their method of warfare
against the Cubans their treatment
of reconcontrodos their rank treach
ery after tho battle of Manila have
put them in a position whero they
ought not to complain at any kind of
treatment they may receive in turn.
Spanish ignoranco and Spanish
disposition aro sufficient to account
for tho stupid -ffort to hold the Unit
od States responsible for unmilitary
conduct. But the most probable ex-
planation is that tho Opauiards have
made another movement in the direc-
tion of trying to work on tho sympa-
thies of the powers and secure inter-
vention. In the outset they insisted
that tho war was forced on them
without justice or reason aud uow
the want to maks it appear that it is
boiflg prosecuted dishonorably and
barbarously l!ut nobody will be
deceived. All lb powers know Spain
and the kBOW lhat she is being
treated mart) airly and decently than

Relative to tho demand for horses
the Texai Stock and Farm Journal
remarks:
Just now tho horso for cavalry is in
strong demand and the demand for
such animals to bo used iu our own
army will never again be as light as It
was for years preceding tho present
war. Tho demand will be larger dur-
ing the war for the cavalry commands
of tho regular army not only becauso
of its permanent increase but also be-
cause of tho losses incident to tho
hardships as well at the dangers of
war. Tho additional demand for the
volunteer cavalry regiments is of
coureo only a temporary demand and
will end with the war. But at the end
of the war Porto Rico Cuba and the
Philipines will be occupied by our
troops and a formidable military
establishment must bo maintained so
long as to become practically perma-
nent. Such an establishmaut to be
mdst effective must consist largoly Of
mounted men. It would perhaps not
be an exaggerated estimato to put the
permanent cavalry requirements of
the army at four r r five times that
which existed beforo the war With
Spain begun. To this must bo added
tho steadily increasing purchases in
this couuiry for tho armies in Europe.
And as attention is given to raising
horses here specially for military de-
mands tho number of sales for ex-
port will naturally increase. It seems
clear that tho men who have mures fit
for a foundation stock in breeding for
these requirements would find profit
in breeding and rearing specially to
tho cavalry typo. Tho essentials of
tbo typo are reasonablo compactness
of build muscloand luog power with
nervo and action to which style and
beauty will add value. The Breeder
and Sportsman perhaps puts it bet-
ter in saying the hones must havo
"dejep well ribbed barrels strong
loins powerful quaitcrs and stout
sound limbs. Leggy nnjmals with
sharp withers small waists ond long
backs will not make good campaign-
ers." The samo paper advises a good
dash of thoroughbred blood in which
the Journal agrees. Tho Journal also
belicvts that there can bo no founda-
tion stock from which better resultB
can be obtained than that of judi-
ciously selected rango mares. In
them is tho perfection of endurance
for actual campaign woik with fire
and nerve. Many such marcs have
already an infusion of tho thorough-
bred perhaps enough of it but good
suitablo standard-bred or saddle
sires not too fiuo may be mated with
them.
