TflE YICTOR AT MANILLA.
Our great victory at Manilla
will go a long way towards
bringing the war to a close. If
Spain is still unwilling to make
terms the administration will no
doubt order a forward march
upon Cuba at once, and with the
vigorous warfare as we have
shown , ourselves capable of
prosecuting there can be no
doubt that Spain will soon be
forced to yield. The victory at
Manilla practically wipes out
the Spanish fleet of the Pacific,
and there seems to be no doubt
now that we shall take posses
sion of the Phillipine Islands.
To deprive Spain of these and
Cuba would terribly cripple her,
and yet this seems to be the fate
in store for her at no distant
day. It has been suggested that
in the event we capture the
Phillipines the United States
should hold them for its war in
demnity. We have no words to
express our abhorrence of that
proposition. Before this terri
ble business of going to war
with Spain began we set about
it with the often repeated dec
laration that this was to be a
war for the sake of suffering hu
manity and that our only pur
pose was to prevent Spain from
either starving or killing our
neighbors in Cuba. When this
is accomplished we should hon
orably retire from the contest
and pay the costs out of our
pockets without a murmur. For
a rich government like this in
the face of our declaration made
in the beginning of the war to
demand an indemnity from a
poverty stricken nation like
Spain would be in our opinion
little short of brutal. Let this
be a war for God, liberty and
humanity and then let us cheer
fully pay its bills.

A PLEA FOR THE YOUNC MEN.
Mr. Editor: Will you give me
space in your valuable paper to
say a few words in my bumble
way. As the time approaches
for our primaries and conven
tions, I can not he!p thinking
of the situation in this district
two years ago. 1 could not help
contrasting that with some I
had attended before. Usually
there is ho lack of candidates to
cirrry our standard in this dis
trict, b:t two years ago the
Congressional timber seemed to
be very scarce, and but for the
gallant Lucas I don't know
what we would have done for
some one to lead a forlorn hope,
which he did most nobly
against certain defeat, and I for
my part will ever remember the
distinguished son of Hyde with
heart felt gratitude. As the
time is again upon us when we
will be called on to select our
leader, (Therefore these re
marks.) I think that the young
men of this district should be
given a chance. As we have
always given our time, money
and talents to the support of the
grand old party, therefore I do
not think it too much to ask
some recognition at her hands;
aid would suggest the name for
our next candidate in this dis
trict. A voung man in every
way fitteJ, and capable to carry
