There are some good things, as well at some things that are not good, In th< Democratic resolutions adopted by th< congressional convention at Westor Thursday; there are also some thlngj ' that are Inconsistent with the Democrat !< record, thrnigh doubtless the renewe< pledges are well meant. There are like wise assertions that are Jnconsisten with each other. Aside from all the stereotyped denunciations of the Republican party, som? of which are unjustified, but whlct everybody expected, one particular denunciation needs some explanation t< an Intelligent public. It fs Involved Ir the strange inconsistency bmught out Ir the comparison of a good re.?olut!or with on* of Che "we denounces." Thf convention did what all sorts of conven tlons, and the aaaemblagr-a of all partfei arc doing tn thla country to-day, whet It pledged Its "support to the existing administration In the vfgoroun proaecutlon of the wat to a speedy and vlctorlou? conclusion." No one doubts the sincerity of that declaration, for all gco<J Americans wand together on the prrjp* aftlon. But bow do*a this patrlotli pledge chime In with the denunciator of the Republican party for the votlnf of loan for Urta "prosecution of th< war to a ap?edy and victorious conclusion?" How doe# this gathering of Flrr district Democrat? expect that th< tmtrgtncy exp<?naea and the enormous Cf?t of conducting a vigorous, or anj other sort of a war, are to be rals/ f without heavy Jncreaae in taxation an< the fncreaae of the "bonded Indebted ataaotf tha country?" Voter what vthei circumstances than the present ones connected with the conduct of as expensive* war has the present administration and Crogress "Increased the bonded In- I debtednwa of the country?" Why a total Ignoring1 of the feet that the first t200.000.000 of the authorised bond* for the express purpose of conducting the , war, which the Democrats themselves j were enthusiastic for, were subscribed j six times over by the people, and awarded in small sums to the subscribers throughout the country, who thus expressed (heir confidence in the government and testified to t^e popularity of the loan? Is the effort nude to make It sppear^hat the Increase of the bonded Indebtedness Is a useless piece of business, with the great emergency case before the country, which the people demanded and are supporting? The Insertion of this "denunciation" In the Weston resolutions la the veriest demagogy, as are some other "denunciations" to be found in them. Some time since the Democratic convention held In the Thtrd district denounced this war loan and actually Charged that It hid been made to oover up Dingle? bill deficiencies, and Id the next breath pledged support to the ifar. The Weston declaration Is scarcely leas absurd. An Alaska Newspaper. The Intelligencer Is lntscefpt of copies of the Dally Alaskan, published at Sleague y, the sender being Mr. M. O. Campbell. The paper is quite up to date j In its appearance and contents. A SUUiVQ wiuuiuo wiyunno ?'" wtth the (act that the tocal lite la thl* northern city la about u |t li In the states, anA tSere 1* an air of prosperity about the paper which indicates enterprise on the part of tho"bujtne?s community, which evidently believe* In liberal advertising. A feature of the Alaskan of July 5 is an elaborate ocooum of great Fourth of July celebration. An item of news reports the ar rival of 'Tat" Oalvln and party from Dawson, Oalvln being mentioned as having made $4,000,000 since his arrival 4n Alaska. Skaguay Is a candidate. It wants to be the capital of Alaska under the new , territorial government which is being i shaped, and the Alaskan Is booming the : proposition. The following extract from one of the Alaskan's articles, and vouched for as true by- the sender of tbe paper. Illustrates the confidence the citizens of Skaguay have In the future Of their city, and the reason for the faith that is within them: While conversing with some prominent clttaens Monday evening on McKinney j street. Dr. Bryant stated that in one year from the present time the population of Skaguay would reach a figure so large that it would astonish the world , r** rmwfh ana developments in the post few month* was merely ?. beginning of the progress that would be made In the months to come. The doctor continued to expatiate on Uie, glories of Skaguay. when he was suddenly called down by one of his auditor*, by the question "What will be the population at Skaguay one year from date?" This was a poser. The doctor seemed for a moment without an answer, but looking upward for an Inspiration he saw upon the mountains eist of the city, away up In the sky, upon a high pesk, plainly marked by the melting snow the figures 110,111. With a gasp of astonishment the doci^ramnticaliv nolnted high In'the ait* and said: "Then? is your answer. ture and the elements are' working for the advancement of our city." This was ! not to toe gainsaid and the listeners looked with wonder at this new proof that Skaguay is to be the metropolis of Alaska." Imagine a city so blessed that Its Inhabitants may read Its destiny marked out by nature on the dtetant mountain ' peaks far up In the sky. if this doesn't give Skaguay a title as the seat of govi ernmgnt for Alaska it is hard to lmagi ine what would. German Pros More Friendly. It is a matter of note, if not absolute , significance, that since the destruction , of Cervera's fleet and the surrender of Santiago there Is "a marked change in the tone of the German; press toward the United States. Sneers at the military and naval strength of this country I have given place to expressions that cannot be construed to be altogether unfriendly. Those American tourists who tried to convince the German press and many German people that they were taking a wrong view of the American character met with little encouragement. Now. It Is noted that%a remarkable change has taken place, anil, as the New York Times remarks, th? arguments of American visitors in Germany didn't "firing it ab<>ut. American navy and army commander* delivered the arguments. The Times wye: Commodore Dewey delivered an lius ' trated lecture in aianu.i way on me iai of May upon the manner in which an Industrial nation could destroy the fle-t of a military nation. Tht* lecture raado some Impression upon th?*Cerman mind, although the German newapopers were 1 still of the impression that the Deweyish ships and Runs were so superior to the Montojolflh that It was not to be admitted that in discipline and morale there was any superiority or even an equality upon the part of the American ( ravy. They ridiculed our Deweylshnem [ and insisted that a very different story would he told when the Cerveralah " squadron should meet tlfe Sampaonlsh. Well, the Cerveralsh sqifedron has m^t the Sampsonlah. and It is its. Since the running ski fljrht off Santiago the German pres? has been insisting that Germany was actuated by the most friendly feellnjre toward America. This friendliness would 1? raised to p^ltlve enthusiasm If Watson should have <hc luck to 1 fall In with Camnra. , This (a a someivhat humorous way to put It. but It Is ail true. There Is nothing like rhe respect which J? lefHimately won. and when our naval and military force* by their ma*nlf\c*nt feats suc' ceed In oonquerln* the German prejudice agalnfft a country that made no pretention* to b#tn* eltlier a naval or military power, but wai "only a nation devoted to rmteinf breadstuff*" they have accomplished a double victory, m ' Th? Latest Naval Victory. The tnodertjr with which Commander . Todd, of thrVnlted States ftunboat Wll raiwcton. telki of the naval victory by' Lbo ?mall blockading *iuadron at Mansanlllo, 1* rtiarac<?rift1c r.f our American . naval offleerf. The exploit wa? a moot : l creditable one, and yrt in bt* report to i Admiral Sampaon Commsndtr Todd rv - ferrcvl to It aa If It were a comparatively ; dmple matter that our vefael*, without L a ainffle Iom on their fide, after * tiring for two and a half houm. nhould destroy. three Bpaniah transport*. blow up tbo. pontoon which was the harbor guard, destroy three gunboat#, sink one and drlw another ashore. It has come to be such a certainty that our naval fleets, both great and small, destroy about everything' of the enemy'* that falls In their tray,- and wtthoct losaes of their awn, that this nfsrs causes no sunwise. The znoderty of Commander Todd, In reciting his exploit. may be due to the fact that our naval officers are beginning to think that complete victories gained by Xhem ore only natural consequences of their Tunning across the possessions of Spain that are afloat In the seas. <Ut?CBllUg MU?ll UUIU 1 CiKi? "HI" . ten byvLieulenant W. C. Dawson, of the battleship Indiana, on the Fourth of July, the day after the ship participated In the destruction of Cervera'a fleet,will be found in to-day"# Intelligencer. Lieutenant Dawson, who ia a nephew of Mr. A. w. Campbell, describee graphically the great tragedy, and the trip of the Indiana to Santiago with the coovoy of General Shafter'a Invading army. The j letters will be read with great interest, coming as they do from one of thebrave officers who took part In the great exploit of Sampson's fleet off Santiago harbor, and a son of one of West Vlrflnia's , daughters. The news that Santiago ia rapidly as- ! sumlng It# normal aspect, tnai ouainesi has resumed, and that tbe people are contented under the new order of Ifclngs, while the Spanich soldiers and offlcers are taking matters philosophically, and are assisting the Americans in many ways,* should be very gratifying to the country. The course which waa pursued by GeneraJ Shatter, followed out all along the ljne in Cuba, will tend to a quick acceptance of new oondltlons by the population of Cuba, when the Amer leans bit in poak?ivn ui iuc uuu?i u..m render the work of establishing a free government comparatively easy. American one hundred cent dollars are accepted by the Spanish shop keepers Id Santiago, and they ore glad to receive them. American money Is good the world over, and with friend and foe aHke, wherever It circulates, and it Is especlallly valuable in salving the wounded feelings of the conquered Spaniards in the erstwhile SpanishCuban stronghold The strong fleet which Is accompanying General Miles to Puerto Rico leaves no doubt that the movement Is 90 shaped tnat mere win oe no of failure. It will not bo many days until the American flag will he floatingover San Juan. CURBEirr COMMENT.

Not one man In ten thousand has a clear Idea of just what happens when big cannon la flrcd. The physical manifestations arc numerous. Even proressors or cnemistry and physics are stumped when they want to differentiate all the rases let loose and the peculiar effects they produce. The puff of whitish smoke, the flash of Are. the dim image of the flying projectile, the roar of tho recoil aro all familiar, .but back of these Is a complex mass of phenomena most bewildering to the mind of any but nn artillery expert, says the Philadelphia Times. First, the cubes, disks, hexagons or irregular lumps of powder aro Irregularly transformed Into a powerful, expanding gas the instant firing takes place. Then there are innumerable by-products that even chemists do not understand. Tho explosion of, gunpowder is divided Into three distinct stages, called the l*nltlon, inflammation anu combustion. The Ignition Is the setting on fire of the first grain, while the Inflammation Is the spreading of the flame over the surface or the powder from the point of Ignition. Combustion U the burning up of each grain. The value of gunpowdor Is due to the fact that when subjected to sufficient heat it becomes a gas which expands with frightful rapidity. The so-called ex^lo Bion Wjlicn mn<-? piaCO wntril ? maim in touched to gunpbwder I? merely & chemical change, during which there Is a iuddt-n evolution of gases from the original solid. It has been calculated that ordinary gunpowder on exploding expands about 9,000 times, or tills a space this much larger as a gas than when in solid form. When this chemical change takes place In a closed vcasel the explosion may be mado to do a work like that of forcing a projectile along the bore of a great gun or test tube in the line of least resistance. The hardest work a gunner Is called upon to do is to stand the tremendous shock. The forces exerted br these gases in expanding seem to radiate in all directions from the cannon, as ripples aro caused by dropping a pebble Into a pool of still water. As a matter of fact, it has been discovered that these lines of forces are exceedingly complicated affairs, and play very queer pranks about the cannon. - As a result few people Know Just which Is the safest or the most dangerous position for a gunner to take beside ftls gun. In the case of the great 12-Inch guns on our mon'tors a position back of the gun Is much easier than one nearer tho muzzle.
