I hereby present my name to the Repub-

County Clerk, before the Republican
County Convention and subject to its de-
cision.-N. J. C. JOHNSON.
with a determination which deserved
the admiration of all nations.
Sentiment Is one thing and facts an-
other. The action of Garcia, when the
American army was before Santiago—
the practical refusal to fight and the
petty wrath at the victorious results
of the fighting of the Americans, sick-
ened the people of this country on the
"brave Cubans."
Truth Is, «the Cubans are an Ignorant,
vicious, cowardly lot of bushwhackers.
They ure not half the men the Span-
lards nre when it comes to lighting.
They have been bushwhacking In Cuba
for three years and have never yet
fought a straight, open battle. There
was ample chance given them when
Shafter put them to stop Pando. They
would not stop anything more formid-
able than a beer sandwich.
And look ut Aguinuldo. He was pow-
erless at Manila without American uid.
But instead of asking and appreciat-
ing it, he got jealous, had a meeting
with himself and designated ribbons
f gold and yellow us a mark of deple-
tion between himself and the Spanish
generals. Now the news comes that if
we take the Philippines, we will have
more lighting to do against the insur-
gents than the Spaniards. It is prob-
ably lucky peace has come. If it will
save us fighting for such an unappreci-
ative 1<* of chumps as the men the
all sections, all avocations and even Enterprise-limes; The Kahlfloxrope of
the universities are active in slang ,**"rr>r Journalism is given another turn

that they have been given the "hot end " "l>- ••mWematleal of the hybrid aggre-
of the poker." or that they "huve been K*t,on "f fu*lon and revenue with Clark
up against it." and as long as men
drink some fellow will choose to "t row
a hook loose Into his photograph." It
l all foolish and silly but the question
Is what will the reformers do about it?
I hereby announce myself as a candidate
for County Clerk of Logan County, sub-
ject to the choice of tho Republican
County Convention.
County Convention.—R. P. MORTON.
LEGISLATIVE.
I hereby ann<funoe myself at the solic-
itation or friends a candid ite lor th#*

Seventeenth district, subject to the ap-
proval of the Republican legislative con-
vention.—W. H. MERTEN.
The white winged dove

Jim Corbett should give his Jaw a
rest. He may train It down to a trille
too fine and McCoy may land on It.
American republic has gone to war for
and sacrificed many lives and millions
treasure. There was some "moral
obligation" supposed to exist toward
the Insurgents of the Philippines; but
their action defy us—tell us to go to—
and what "moral obligation" do we

gain Independence and establish some
sort of stable government?
freedom of Cuba will be a myth.
It Is farther from the ability and
perience for self-government than the
lowest American Indians—and not half
so brave and admirable. The Indian
s a magnificent fighter; the Cuban has
proved to the Americans that he will
not fight a square fight under any cir-
cumstances.
Annexation is the only safety for
uba, and this Is the certain result of
peace. It will take but a short time to
demonstrate the failure of Independ-
Cuba, like Hawaii, will soon be
sking us for annexation—and wo will
annex It; and then there will be some
hance for progress In Cuba.
Ql'EER JUSTICE.
Is not "Justice" going a little too far
hen It drives a boy thirteen years old
crazy, under the supposition that he
has stdlen a horse? And when It puts
In federal prison a boy of eight years
old under the declaration that he had
robbed a postofflce? The boy himself
says a man—a full grown whelp—lift-
ed him up to the window and told him
here and how to got the money; and
then the mature scoundrel gave the
boy ten cents of the "swag." There
can be no crime committed maliciously
by such boys.
And what kind of parents can it be
who will desert a boy—and thus dis-
lodge his mind—as is said the patents
of the thirteen year old boy did, caus-
ing him to sorrow his brain away?
Are not the wrong people in Jail? Is
there any humanity in probecutln^
such boys?
The harbor of San Luis D'Apra, on
the west coast of the main Island,
Guam, of the Ladrones, which Is de-
manded hy the United mutes In the
settlement of the war with Bpaln, is
an Ideal coaling station, and while the
whole Kroup will undoubtedly prove to
be „f Incalcuable value to the United
Slates, it commends Itself as the most
valuable of all the newly acquired pos-
sessions on account of Its situation. It
lies 3,300 miles west by south of Hono-
lulu, 1,350 miles southwest of Yoko-
homn and 1.500 miles east of I.ukon.
thus being tho connecting link between
the United States and 'the Orient. Its
Inhabitants, who number 10.000. are a
hospitable, peaceful, law-abiding peo-
ple.
The ever-recurring rumor that the
bullfight Is a less popular form of
amusement In Spain than hitherto Is
certainly disapproved by the fact that
Reverte, the famous espada. ha found
the season which has Just ended one of
the most successful he has ever experl-
ed. During the eight months he has
assisted at seventy-live hull flghls. six
of which were held In France and two
In Portugal. To attend them he has
traveled at least 30.000 miles, and has
earned the Immense sum of 1115,000.
From this sum, however, his expenses
bud to be deducted. And yet people
expect Spain to respect the Red Cross.

BOME CURRENT SLANG,

slang and reads the west a lecture for
part in the wholesale phrase coin-

Advertiser says, "for the multiplica-
tion of slang works and phrases to ex-
press new meanings. Two hideous ex-
amples have suddenly sprung up
among us, coming, of course, from the
west, whence all new slang comes.
