i t THE FOREST REPUBLICAN. t. t. WINK, tOITOH PKOPRIITOR. WEDNESDAY, FEPRUARY 2, 180. Ppkakino of the harbor of Havana, our flag is there, and it is never like ly to be withdrawn again no Recount of Spanish sensibilities. An ocean linor 13 leet longer than the Great Eastern ia on tho ways at Belfast. The modern levi.itharj of the derp is nearly a seventh of a mile in length. In an Eastern city a woniau adver tised on the same day tor a woman secretary and a cook. She received 422 applications but only two were willing to cook. One German war-ship at Havana, would have insured the safety of German citizens iu that port. It is not yet clear why William II. de cided to send three. A nixisioN handed down recently by Judge iStowe, of I'iisburg, in an oil leaso case, says: "It seems to mo that when a lease is dependent for its continuance upon its producing suf ficient to pay, and a certain portion of such product is to be given the lessor as rent, tbe lessee is bound to operate continuously and with rea sonable diligence, and a failure to do so fur no unreasonable length of time, thereby preventing the lissor from obtaining any rent, should be held as a forfeituie of the lessee's rights un der the lease, if the lessor chooses to take advantage of il." ' The men who are anxious to drive a Republican administration into a hasty war are the very ones who, in case of hostilities, would turu copper head and vote to cut off supplies. The Maryland Senatorial squabble has been happily euded by the elec tion ot Judge McComag, one of the staunch Republicans of that State, to succeed SeDator Gorman. Tbis gives the old commonwealth two Re publican U. S. Senators for the first time in her history. In the eyes of tho Democratic press, which was so energetic in funning tbe flames of the factional trouble in tho recent Senatorial fights iu Ohio and Maryland, the Teuuesseo wrangle is a outer shame, aud the tarliomsts are being most roundly abused. Another case of great difference as to whose ox is gored. .Nothing has as yet been heard to drop as a result of the visit of the U. S. warship Maine to the Cuban capi tal. Il is not likely there will be any trouble, nut to make doubly sure that there shall he none it is al ways well enough to let the other fel lows know you are ready for any lit tie fracas that may be rotted out. The apparent determination of Mr Bryan to make 16 to 1 aud 16 to 1 me only issue so long as he remains befure the country iu tbe position of chief spokesman and representative of Bryan Democracy, has led a good many silver Democrats all over the country to the belief that some broad er man, who will not confine himself himself exclusively to a single bobby, is likely to be a more successful can did ate for the next national cam paign. it seems ttiai senator iNlorgan was mistaken iu his assumption that President Cleveland really favored the annexation of Hawii, and based his apparent opposition upon techoi culities which could easily have been removed. Mr. Clevelaud rushed promptly to press on hearing of the Senator's expression of views, and as sured tbe palpitating publio that he as well as the sugar trust, was dead against the annexation of Hawaii which has beeu and is favored by the Republican party. The Diugley law is now producing io round figures a million dollars day of revenue to the government Ttiat is to say tbe total receipts of tbe Treasury Department, iucludiog cus toms, internal revenue, and miscella ueuus, during tbe first tweuty-four days of January amounted to $23, 000,000 iu round numbers, or an av erage ot practically a million dollars for each day. This is extremely en couraging in view of the fact that the expenditures of the government eel dotn exceed fedl,UUU,l)UU iu a year, or au average of a million dollars per day the year round. It is quite apparent from these figures that the prediction of the frauiers of tbe law that it would produce sufficient reve Due to meet the running expenses were well founded.

Its western boundry is not, as in the campaign of 1896, the Allegheny Mountains. Altgeld'a State is now in the hostile territory, and so is tbe Stateof Chairman Jonpg. There is a chance that before 1900 comes Bryan will be calling Altgeld ud Jones "tools of Wall street" and enemies of the human race." More over, these are men who can not be hypnotized by tricky phrases. They know Bryan, and will never be de luded by him again. Tbe Republi can porty regrets the loss of Bryan, for it could beat him easier in 1000 than it did in 1896, but it will have to give bioi up. Mr. Bryan, in his recently pub lished syudicate article, on Mexico, points out as one of the arguments in favor of tbe silver standard tbe fact that Guadalajara is actually putting in a sewerage system and water works and that another city of Mexico is laying brick sidewalks. Guadalajara has a population of about one hun dred thousand, while the other city, whose brick sidewalks he proudly flaunts before the American people. has a population of fifty thousand. When it is considered that there are hundreds of towns and villages of one-tenth this size in the United States which have already all these advantages, besides electric lights, street railways, etc., of which Mr. Bryan boasts fur these free silver cities, there is a disposition to wonder if this is the best that tbis apostle of free roinage can say in behalf of bis pet theory as practically exemplified io our sister Republic. Secretary Gage has silenced the carping critics who have beeu con stuntly asserting that he is not in ac cord with President McKiuley in be half ot international bimetalism. In a speech delivered at Philadelphia a few days since he said : "The politi cal head of tho Republican party has been active to secure bimetalism -un der the only conditions by which it can be maintained; namely, interna tional agreement with open mints to both silver an. I gold In bis efforis t inaugurate such method, the Presi dent heartily supports tbe principles of his party's platform, and in his ef forts he has the support of all the members of his official family, iuuen does and declarations from various sources to the contrary notwithstand ing. Until it can be secured in this rational manner, we propose to main tain the kind of bimetalism we have now, under which five hundred mil lions or more of silver are kept on a parity w i ill gold. Uuder this stand ard practically for sixty yeais, aud according to tbe Democratic candi date's admission fur twenty-seven years by statute law, this country has developed and flourished as no other country has."

The Democratic Congressmen and newspapers are hysterical over the sending of the Maino to Havaua. On the side of the administration and the Republican party, however, there is uo parade or excitement, but sim ply a dett nuiuution that the interests of the Uuited States in Cuba shall be maintained iu every extremity which can arise. No menace whatever is tillered to Spain. If that nation takes a reasonable view of the situation there will be no trouble with this country. The Maiue's visit to Havana dues not mean immediate interven tion. At the same time, it is clear that unless Spain give up the con test ugaiust the insurgents and recog nizes that the bus uot the faintest chance to reguiu control of the island, iuterveulion must come before lung. The Government is goiDg to ask for proposals for the erection uf au armor plate plant, and will go into the manufacturing business. The ar mor plate makers thought they had the Government by the throat aud could hold it up -for any price for their wares, but Uncle Sam is re sourceful, and be still has a few dol lars in tbe cash box with which he will put up his own mill and make his own armor plate.
