1 f the war is to be the issue of the
next campaign, then let it be war.
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.
