A Few Facts in Political History Briefly but Plainly Stated—How Easily and Readily They Flopped from Silver Advocates to Gold Standard Defenders—A Few Cold. Hard Facts. Kegistcr-Dcniocrat. The Republican newspapers began yelling " prosjierity" as soon as it was known that McKinley was elected. They have kept it up in sunshine and in rain ever since, no matter how ri diculous thev often made themselves. It was part of the general program otlined l»y Hanna for a great cry to go up about the " wonderful prosperity" enjoyed under Republican rule. It has been one stupendous humbug and fraud from first to last. These same spouters and political mountebanks howled calamity during Cleveland's last term when it is a matter of fact that the times were good then as com pared to the present. But it was not Cleveland's fault that times were no worse. He repudiated Democratic principles and joined hands with the forces of organized greed which had controlled the Republican party. Cleveland assisted in the assassination of silver, and when he went out of of fice was to all intents and purj>oses a fairly representative Republican of the plutocratic order. Along lines affect ing the welfare of the industrial peo ple of this country, he was in accord with McKinley and the forces of mo nopoly behind him. McKinley car ried out the iniquitous financial pol icy of Cleveland and in addition has inaugurated a policy of imperialism hateful to every thoughtful lover of his country. Cleveland was bad, hut McKinley is worse. Under the for mer we had a panic, prearranged by himself and the New York National Bank trust as an " object lesson" to compel repeal of the silver purchase law. And we had hard times follow ing along swiftly in the wake of this crime. Under McKinley times grew oon«Untly woraa until tlio dayo of Cleveland were finally remembered as a picnic in comparison. During the past year thero has been a slight im provement in business conditions, caused mainly by an increase of about 45 per cent in the world's gold supply and the stupendous preparations of war, which latter has taken many men from the overcrowded labor mar kets of the country. But so far as a bettering of the general condition of the masses by reason of the election of McKinley to succeed Cleveland, it is the most colossal falsehood ever ut tered. Both were champions of the British gold standard—a system which has reduced to pauperism and indus trial slavery the laboring people of every nation which has adopted it. The trying times for the people inaug urated under Cleveland have been in tensified under McKinley. To the wrongs set up by the former we have the added disaster of imperialism and disrespect for the Declaration of Inde pendence under the latter. Under Cleveland, Great Britain dealt our government a powerful blow in secur ing legislation for the single gold standard. Under McKinley, she sc cures with this nation a partisanship in "criminal aggression" to stamp out the life of Christian people battling for liberty and self-government. These are the cold, hard facts, and no Republican newspaper in the land can successfully deny thero. All this fuss and noise about "prosperity" and na tional greatness is but the drunken yell of the party slaves who obey their bosses first, last and all the time, and under all conditions and circum stances. It is the dishonest yelp of fellows who follow the band wagon for what they can make out of it. The fellows who switched from free coin age to single gold standard as soou as they read the newly made platform. The same fellows who never had any convictions, and would not have the courage to support them if they had. To them it is gold standard and " prosperity" because the party bosses say so. They cursed Cleveland for opposing high protective tariffs. To morrow they would favor free trade and the free coinage of lead if Mark Hanna but said the word. These are the chaps who print Republican news papers and pose as educators of the people and moulders of a healthy pub lic sentiment. Bah! They make us tired. Talk of an independent press! Go maul rails for a living. Be a white man, if you die in the trying. As well steal horses as to make your life a living lie from the sanctum to the grave. WAR has broken out in the Tacoma poatotlice, caused by the employes be ing fined from $lO to S4O for leaving the building to see a fire. The civil service boys say it is a scheme on the part of the postmaster to force them to resign. "Hew to the Line, Let the Chips Fall "Where they May." CERVERA'S VINDICATION Admiral Genera has published the official correspondence relating to the operations of the Spanish squadron under his command. This corres pondence completely exonerates this gallant oUI sailor from all responsibil ity for the destruction of his squadron. These letters show that the Admiral, before the outbreak of the war, warned the Spanish Minister of Marine: "Do everything in reason or honor to satis fy the United Slates; for, if war breaks out, we shall be overwhelmed." On March 7, 1898, Cervera predicted the crushing of the Spanish naval forces in the Philippines in event of war by our Pacific squadron. Gervera and all his captains warned the Spanish gov ernment that the campaign must, lie defensive to escape disaster. General Blanco telegraphed from Cuba that the squadron must be sent or all would be lost, so the council of war ordered Cervera to sail for Puerto Rico or Cuba and do his best. After he had left Martinique, a telegram dated May 12, 1898, from the Minister of Marine, arrived authorizing him to return to Spain at his discretion, but it came too late, for he sailed before it was delivered. On June 3 the Minis ter of War suggested that Cervera should run the blockade at Santiago, go to Manila and smash Dewey, after wards returning to attack Sampson. Cervera wished to blow up his ships in the harbor of Santiago and land his men to assist in defense of the place j but he was under General Blanco's or ders, and that officer insisted upon the Admiral's going out to have COl) of his men killed in the spirit of sheer "vanity," as Cervera calls it. The Spanish in Santiago had not guns nor ammunition enough to fire on Samp son's ships at night when standing in close to the harbor's mouth with their searchlights. Cervera asked General Linares to open on the American ships at night, but that officer replied he had no artillery mounted that could do it, and the ammunition was as defective on shore as on shipboard. If General HI" noil ltatl permitted liinir Admiral Cervera could have taken his naval gnus from his ships and mount ed them in the defenses of Santiago, even as the British naval guns are mounted at Ladysmith, and with the help of those powerful guns manned by skilled naval gunners Santiago could have made a far more effective de fense. Santiago had neither food, nor artillery, nor sufficient ammunition, for defense, which explains our aston ishing victory. THE FILIPINOS. It in never wide to undcrate an en emy, and we have been persistently misclassing the force our army has been contending with around Manila. The enemy is certainly showing a genius for war that is surprising to all obsserving people. They had con quered everything but Manila from the Spanish, and that was the only basis for Spain's claim to the islands, which was therefore nominal. The Filipinos are just as intelligent as the Cubans and are holding their own against the flower of our army, possess ing all the refinements of homicidal destruction. They are fighting for lit>erty, an incentive which never be tokens a deficiency of intellect. Those who thiuk the Filipinos arc incapable of self-government and should there fore be whipped a la Spanish methods, should read what the head of the Hong Kong junta, Dr. Apairble, says in a letter to the New York World: "We are weak and you are strong, but we have an ally and you have none. We have 70,000 stands of arms and 30,000 troops in the field, and suf ficient material to make cartridges to supply our troops for four years to come. Our ally is the climate of the Philippines. Your bullets cannot kill one of our men where disease will kill twenty of yours once you begin the advance into the interior. We will harass your advance at the same time that we welcome it. We cannot tight pitched battles with you, and we do not need to. We shall be here to-day and there to-morrow, attacking, then flying. You can no more catch us or conquer us than you can the wind." The dispatch further says: "Only the younger generation of half-breeds have had the advantage of education. Dr. Apairble and Dr. Santos are under 25, and both have received the degree of LL.D in Spain." Education is all that the Filipinos need and with a free government they would perhaps outstrip Japnn in a generation. THE circulations of books in a cer tain Connecticut library fell oft' over 9,000 since last year, and the librarian says it was because " popular interest in current events was so great that newspapers were read rather than books." THE war in Peru has raised the price cocaine from 92.50 to |6.25 an ounce. OLYMPIA, WASHINGTON: FRIDAY EVENING, DEC. 15, 1899. i AN OLD PROPHECY. IT HAS BEEN VERIFIED BY EVENTS SO FAR. The Austro-Russian and Franko-Prussian Wars Came on as Foretold—Other Events as Well as the Assassination ol Two American Presi dents were Foretold —Great Changes Fore told for the Beginning of the 20th Century. Over 40 years ago an old German hermit published in a Bavarian pa ;or a curious prophecy. In it be foretold the Austro-Kussian and Franco-Prus sian wars, the death of Pope Pius and the Turko-Russian debate at arms. Ho said that Germany would have three Emperors in one year before the end of tlie century, and indicated the death of two United States Presidents by assassination. All these things have come to pass, says the New York Mercury. In the same article he said that when the twentieth century opened great seismic disturbances will take place, which will cause the submersion of New York city and the western half of the city of Havana. Cuba is to break in two, while Florida and Lower California are to suffer total extinction. The shock of these earth quakes will raze buildings to the ground in almost ever}' city on the continent, millions of lives and bil lions of dollars' worth of property will be lost. There will he a change in the eco nomic conditions of almost every civ ilized nation, lie foretells the growth of a Democratic spirit in England, which will result in a revolution that will overthrow the present form of government and make the country a Republic. He says the last ruler of England will be the best the country ever had, and the first President of the new nation will lie one of the royal family. Queen Victoria is by long -odds the best ruler England has ever had, and in a recent speech the Prince of Wales said it is his desire to live to see Eng land a Republic. According to the hermit. Russia, France aud Italy will form an alliance and will enter into war with Turkey. This war is to be the outgrowth of Turkish persecution of Christian sub jects. This triple alliance will con quer the domaiu of the Kick Man of the East. At the expiration of the war complications will arise which will plunge Italy and France into war with Russia. The result will lie that the two countries will be gobbled up by the northern power, and will cease to exist as independent nations. While war is lieing waged between them the people will move the seat of Catholicism from Rome to some town in southern Ireland. A rebellion will take place in the laud of the Shamrock, in which the country will become independent of England. Then a conflict will arise between tho ultra-Catholics of South Ireland and the ultra-Protestants of the North, in which the Southern will be victors. A Kingdom will lie estab lished, and it is predicted (lint the reign of the first potentate will l>e como historic for its tyranny. The prophet paints a dark future for the United States. He says that at the close of the century a feeling of unrest will seize the people. This feeling will be the outgrowth of the unequal social nnd economic condi tions. He predicts that the 25th President will be the last executive head of the United States. During his administration the discontented masses will break into open rebellion, and the established form of govern ment will be rent asunder, nnd for a year or more anarchy will prevail. When order shall be brought out of chaos six Republics will be formed, with capitals at the following cities : San Francisco, Denver, New Orlenns, St. Louis, Washington and Boston. The Bee.Nugget, of Chehalis, strikes the nail squarely on the head in the following paragraph. Unless the de parted is prominent in some shape before his fellow man, grief for his de parture is better expressed in a quiet unobtrusive wav. "We hope our friends will refrain from sending obituary poetry to this office for publication as we seldom publish it. Some of the poetry that is sent is very good and some of it is very bad. We can not undertake to say just which of such poems are, from a literary point of view, worthy of pub lication, nor can we expose some very good people to the ridicule that would follow their efforts at making p retry if their product appeared as is often written. We think too that the lodges make a mistake when they pass a string of resolutions nnd have them published in the paper every time a brother or sister dies. It might not be so objectionable to pass the resolu tions and inscribe them on the records or forward a copy to the relatives but A Pertinent Suggestion. it seems uncalled for that they should be printed in the papers, often a month after a man has beeu buried. The similiarity of such resolutions is so striking that the public has long since grown weary of reading them. The publishers do not like to refuse to pub lish such resolutions of respect when offered and yet it seems it would be better form if they were not printed. Nor do we think that the publication of a card of thanks for assistance ren dered on the occasion of the deatfi of a member of the family is the nicest thing to do, ulthough it is a deeply rooted custom. The man or woman who aids in performing the last sad rites at tlie burial of a fricml places the family under no obligation what ever for the part lie takes; lie is not entitled to and docs not expect thanks from the lining for a duty or tribute of respect paid to one who is dead." STATISTICS OF HUMAN LIFE. Statistical scientists will not let us alone. Everything we do or say is submitted to the closest analysis; and the figures emerge full of warning and reproach. The newest tabulation of our do ings comes from the workshop of M. Alfred Arkas, who is minuteuess it self, says Collier's Weekly. He lias worked out, first, an approximate cal culation of the number of words the normal man utters in the course of a year. Ignorant or cultured, playing on the minor's vocabulary of two hun dred words or on the university pro fessor's thesaurus of many thousands, it appears that we let eleven millions eight hundred thousand words be tween January and December. Every year we shake hands about one thousand two hundred times, ex pending on the ceremony a force suf ficient to raise a locomotive weighing eighty tons. The raising of our eye lids is accomplished ninety-four mil lion six hundred thousand times per year, and represents the consumption of euergy capable of lifting a weight of 51 pounds. Turning to the division of our time, it is found that a normal man living seventy years has spent no less than twenty-four years, nine months and fifteen days asleep; and eleven years and eight months at work. His recre ation has occupied exactly the same length of time ns his work. Ho has passed five years and ten months in moving about and the same space of time in the operation of feed ing. His toilet has occupied two years and eleven months. Two years and eleved months, also, pass in do ing nothing or in little things that are not easily classed. Tho surprise is the estimate that a man passes exuetly the same time in thinking as in speaking—one year five months and a half. Which gives one a new idea of the value that ought to to be attached to every man's utter ances. Costly Laces. The most benutiful handkerchief in all the European courts belongs to Queen Margherita of Italy, and it is at the same time the most costly, be ing valued nt $30,000. In making this marvel three artists worked con stantly for more than twenty years. It is so tine that were tho eyes closed and the handkerchief passed across the hand a person of tho most acute sensibilities would find it impossible to feel anything. The Queen keeps it religiously in a tiny jewel case of gold in the form and just the size of an or dinary bean pod. The Queen of Eng land owns a dress which almost equals this. It was a wedding gift from India, and is so fine and light that the whole dress can be placed in a small fan box. On this nine persons worked during nine years. The Queen's collection of laces is worth $375,000 and that of the Princess of Wales is not far behind, as it is now valued at $250,000, her stock having increased by the legacy of her mother, the late Queen of Denmark. Though ex-Empress Eugenie lost many pieces of great value on her flight from the Tuileries, still she has considerable, and what she has is beautiful. One piece alone cost about $25,000 a yard. The laces of the Vatican are rated at $875,000. THE tourist will now be afforded an opportunity to penetrate well toward the interior of Africa, the new Sou danese railway being open us far as Kharioum. To roll through the dark continent iu sleeping cars will soon be an achievement of the average globe trotter, and in a few years it will be as commonplace a performance as it now is to traverse the " Great American Desert." Science, enterprise and ad venturesomencss will cause the dark ness of Africa to vanish as rapidly as they converted the so-called desert of the United States into a highly pro ductive region. ELECTION ECHOES. AS TIME ELAPSES THE PLAINER ARE REVERBERATIONS. The Result is by no Means Satisfactory to the Gold Bugs—That is One Reason Why the Gold Biil will be Actively Pushed at This Time—Nebraska Returns Leave a Heartache —They Wanted to " Side-Track" Bryan—All All that is Needed for Democratic Success is Decision and Vigor. National Watchman. The result of the recent election has brought dismay to the hearts of the gold combination, trusts and monopo lies. They hoped, believed and prophesied that Nebraska would re turn to the Republican column, and that as the result Bryan would lie sidetracked as a Presidential candi date. Iu such case they felt eertain that they would bo able to secure the nomination of a Democratic candidate for the Presidency who would be ac ceptable to them. Therefore the re sult has brought much confusion into the ranks. The returns from Ohio are uo less satisfactory to them than those from Nebraska. If McKinley had se cured a strong indorsement in Ohio they would feel much confidence in his success next year. But being re pudiated by an overwhelming major ity of the voters of Ohio it is now plain that he cannot carry that State against Bryan next year. The official vote of Ohio shows the vote east for candidates who opposed the President's policy to be a majority of 73,771 of the total vote of the State and that the combined vote of McLean and Jones is 57,092 greater than the Republican vote. In view of the pa thetic appeals of llanna and McKin ley for an endorsement, such a verdict from the President's own State speaks in tliiiudcrtones the mqiopularity of the President's policy. The money kings would glady throw McKinley overboard and take up Roosevelt if that would help them. But such a course is fraught with many dangers. Hence they have again renewed their efforts to manipu late Democratic conventions and op pose the nomination of Bryan as their only hope, failing in which they must face the alternative of expending a fabulous sum of money in a doubtful enterprise. The Democratic pnrty stands for American ideals and for the rights of the toiling millions. If the work of enlightening the voters upon the is sues before the country is pushed with vigor during the coming winter, when tho campaign closes next year the re sult will not be in doubt. The Re publican party has fallen under the control of iniluences that are decided ly un-American and its policy is a contradiction of every principle And idea that has contributed to the glory of our country. Ohio and Nebraska, where the campaign was fought on National issues, repudiated McKinley and endorsed Bryan. Therefore, the path before us is plain. If we obey the call of duty, and every Democrat act promptly and vigorously in push ing the work of education during the coming winter a glorious victory awaits the party of the people. MAJ. J. A. LOGAN, JR.'S DEATH. Is Said to Have Been Killed by His Own Soldiers. If the stories told by those who re turned on the transport Sheridau, which carried the Thirty third infan try to tho Philippines are true, Maj. John a Logan, Jr., may not have met his death nt the hands of the Filipino sharpshooters, as cable stories have re ported. According to the statement of Geo. H. Koppitz, purser of the Sheridan, supported by others of the crew of the transport, Logan was shot by some of his own men. It is hard to believe that any American soldier would carry liis hatred of an officer so far as to wait for a favorable opportunity to cover his treacherous intent to shoot him down, but this is what is alleged to have occurred in Logan's case. Purser Koppitz was disinclined to go into particulars regarding the young major's taking off, as he did not like the idea of talking ill of the dead man, hut on being pressed to ex. plain some of the circumstances said: " Maj. Logan made himself particu larly offensive to the men by his over bearing manner toward those under him, nnd this feeling was heightened by an incident which occurred one day out at sea. Maj. Logan had ape dog to which ho was very much at tached. One of the soldiers also had a dog which was looked upon as a sort of mascot among the men. It hap pened that the two dogs got into a fight and Logan's canine came out of the scrimmage the worse for the en counter. Logan was so angered that he seized the soldiers' dog, and threw him overboard. This action only served to make the feeling more bitter against the officer, and the threat was openly made and repeated many times that Logan would not last after the first battle." The fact is pointed out by the men who returned on the 7th inst. on the Sheridan that the cable accounts of just bow Maj. Logan received liis wound iu the battle of the Thirty - third infantry at San Fabian are rather vague and they think this is significant. Who Are The Traitors? Colfax Commoner The Commoner has no sympathy with men who express the hope that the Filipinos will exterminate our army. Such talk is unpatriotic and treasonable. It has no more sym pathy with the men who declare that we must retain possession of the Phil ippines because they are too valuable to give up. No patriotic man can wish defeat for our troops, no matter what be thinks of the war in which they are engaged. But a man can wish for a change in the policy of the administration toward the Filipinos and yet be a patriot. To call a man a traitor and copjrerbead because he is opposed to forcing our government upon the Filipinos without their con sent is as senseless us to call a man an anarchist and rcpiuliator because be believes in the free coinage of silver. No patriotic man can advocate the committing of a wrong by the govern ment because there is profit in it any more than he could uphold the rob bing of a bank because there is money to be made by the transaction. The man who contends that bis govern men t shall do right is more of a patriot than the man who contends that his government should acquire wealth by fair means or foul. Docs Advertising Pay? John Wunnainakcr's recent con tract to pay the Philadelphia Record SIOO,OOO for a page advertisement every day in the year is itself of the best sort of advertising. This great contract is the subject of universal comment and remark, but it is only a small part of the newspaper advertis ing done by this house. In New York the advertising bills of Wannamaker are as high as in Philadelphia. He is therefore taking up the business of the first American merchant prince, A. T. Stewart, where the latter left. One of the chief causes of Mr. Stewart's suc cess was his liberal advertising, and he was the pioneer in this branch of merchandising in this country. When Judge Hilton took control of the Stewart store lie stopped advertis ing in the newspapers, believing that the name of the house was so well and favorably known that it was un necessary to cull daily attention to it. A lew years of this sort of business management was enough to destroy the property, and it was eventually sold under the hammer to John Wan namaker. THE movement to change the basis of representation to the National Re publican Convention so that a State's representation will be based on the uuinber of Republican votes cast, in stead if two for each congressional district and four at large as now, is gaining many active supporters throughout the country and the change is likely to Wo effected this year. Henry C. Payne of Wisconsin says that under the present arrange ment one Republican in Mississippi has forty times as much voice in nam ing a candidate as one Republican in the State of Illinois. Minnesota which cast 193,501 votes for McKinlev has but 18 delegates in a national conven tion, while Alabama, Arkansas, Flor ida and Georgia nil together cast 200,- 070 voles for McKinlev and are en titled to 124 delegates. THK coinage value was knocked out of silver by dark-lantern Republican legislation. The nutritious juices were stolen from the lteef furnished our brave boys in Cuba by the same class of pirates who conspired to de stroy the silver money of the constitu tion. The stuff put up in cans for the soldiers had been previously " de monetized" by the patriotic beef packers who believe in the single standard. THE Chronicle (Chicago) says: We fancy we see our noble executive " firing" Brother Hanna from his post of Lord High Everything to the Ad ministration, as predicted by Wash ington correspondents. When that interesting event happens, brakesmen will begin discharging railroad presi dents and der kaiser von dat vater land will be deposed by Private Schmidt. ALL popular ideas concerning Bos ton's tastes have been disturbed by the statement of an officer of the whisky trust that the Hub consumes more whisky thnn any other city in the country. Boston's thirst was sup posed to be of a different kind, and Louisville meekly takes a back seat. WHOLE NUMBER 2,073- ACCIDENT AND HEALTH INSURANCE.
