THEY DON'T WANT THE OFFICES, A cry goes up from the repulican press of the state protesting against the unwarranted and unreganerate action of the union people in act ually nominating candidates for office in the various counties where they have united. They are great ly scandalized over this action of the reform forces, and very vehe mently characferize it as a "scram ble fcr office." Our friends of the G. O. P. seem to think that the re form people should be content to fight for principle and should qui etly hand the offices over to the re- publicans all, the same .'as the gold democrats. Such action would no doubt be very pleasing to the repub licans, and would remove their deep seated aversion to uuion or fusion, whichever they prefer to call it. But much as the reform forces would like to satisfy and gratify their republican friends we fear that they will not go to the extent evidently desired of them. There is a deeply rooted belief in the breasts of these reform people that it is the offices that the repub licans want after all, and that if they are given the offices and the reform people the principle, that the prin-, ciple will meet the fate it has so of ten and regularly met at the hands of the g. o. p. before. But to be serious, how can any party effect reform of existing evils in state or county affairs unless they get control of the offices?. Is it to be expected that the re publican will carry out the reforms demanded by llie democratic and peoples party if they are elected to the offices? Hardly. Then if these parties are earnest in theit cry for re- form the only way they can demon- atrate it is to nominate and support men who have advocated these re forms, and in whom they have con fidence. This is what the rebub licans do when they advocate any thing and ic is the way every other party does. This cry of "scramble for ofiice" is one oi the thinnest things that a partisan paper ever put up. Thousands ot voters are regularly held in the ranks of the g. o. p. by some specious plea of national or local danger, when their better judgment tells them that they are doing wrong and violating their trust of citizenship. For a quarter of a century the republican par ty has been making promises of re form and retrenchment to the peo ple at the beginning of each cam paign, only to be forgotten and bro ken when they were returned to power. They will come to you again, express their sympathy for your misfortunes and swear, by the great homed spoon, that they wilf do something for you next time. Don't believe them. That party could not help you if it would; its great high priest, Mark Hanna, does not recognize anything smaller thou a corporation; he cannot grasp the meaning of citizenship. As the clouds of war fade away on the horizon a feeling of sadness settles down on the patriotic souls of those who delight in talking war. If only we could fight our battles hh high sounding words, how bloodless they would be. Let us not forget that war means devasta tion, agony and death. National honor and national equity can be sustained by national arbitration and the horrors of carnage and its attendant evils avoided. The shed ding of blood brutalizes man, its effects extend to the generation yet unborn. Ana now gentlemen, will you stand by your convtct'ons and work for and vote for the Union ticket, or will you allow yourselves to be cajoled by the goldbug orator and monopolist press into giving- the dear old despot of a party one more cnance to humiliate you.

And now the defendant comes into court and pleads the general issue and gives notice of off, in that she has suffeted damage to the amount of several hundred million dollars damages, by the United States allowing fillibusteriug expe ditions to be fitted out in this coun try to aid Cuba; also for our fur nishing aid and comfort to the Cu bans, thus prolonging the struggle; and asks that she be allowed to re coup the balance of these damages, after the cost of the Maine is deduc ted. In proof of her claim she cites the case of the United States vs. 'Great Britian, in which the Arbi tration court awarded the United States damages caused by the aid aud comfort extended to the Con federacy by Great Britian.
