The republican party has never had reason to complain of a war issue. “S ixteen to one" is dead, Even in Colorado the craze is on its last legs, and such is the change in senti­ ment that President McKinley may carry the state in 1900. I t is very probable that Spanish will be taught in the public schools at Chicago. This will place the windy city in advance of all others on the march of progress. W hen Abraham Lincoln ran for reelection in 1864 the democratic platform pronounced the war a fail­ ure. There have been later indica­ tions that the democratic party is a poor judge of war. G eneral Shafter shut down on beer and wine at Santiago, and the insurgents cut off the water supply at Manila. This is another instance where American skill was superior to that of the Spaniards in inflicting punishment upon an enemy. ------- ♦ • ♦--- - T he general opinion is that the ashes of Columbus repose at Havana, though many say he is buried in San Domingo. There is a story now thut the Spanish people will remove the dust of Columbus to Spain, but there is no great indignation over the ru­ mor. T he total loss of the American army and navy in the recent war is reported to be twenty-throe officers and 236 men killed and 87 officers and 1406 men wounded, an aggre- gate of 1752. In the civil war the Union army alone lost 4142 officers and 62,916 men killed, and in addi­ tion 43,012 died from wounds. I t is said by the anti-keep-’ems that it will require a standing army of 20,000 men in the Philippines, which would be an enormous ex­ pense. On the other side, the con tention is made that a nation of 70,- 006,000 people can easily maintain 20,000 men, when Holland, with only 4,000,000 inhabitants, maintains 20,- 000 in Java, and the island is man­ aged so well and has been made so productive that it pays revenues far beyond the cost.

Asa McCune of Carlton, who enlisted with the fourteen reciuits from this county June 28th last, and who has since been stationed at San Francisco, died of typhoid fever in that city on Tuesday morning, Sept. 6th, being the first death among the soldiers from this county, so far as known. An appeal has been made to Gov. Lord for the return of the body to his home at state expense, ami the county has also been interviewed on on the subject, and will probably do its share. If the return is made, the arrival is expected at Carlton tomorrow night, with funeral obsequies to be held on Sunday. A brother of deceased has> asked that burial be made with military honors by the Manila Guards, and to- this end all members of the organization are asked to meet at the armory this: (Friday) evening.
