TROUBLE BREWING WITH SPAIN.
Getting the Naval Forces Ready for
Active Service.
WAsH1NaToN, May 9.

- WASHINGTON, May 9.
Relations with Spain are Of such q charsc-
ter as to suggest preparations not looking to:
war, but to the protection OF the rights of
citizens Of the United States. It is known
that our minister to Madrid Will soon be with
drawn, and no successor appointed until, as
was recently said by!a high executive ofncer,i
Spain shall be more disposed than shells now
to act with justice and according TO treaty
obligations. Although war Is not regarded as
even probable, there Is an increasing desire that
our. navy shall be placed In an efficient condi-
ton, and, therefore, the authorities here may
before long Issue orders to several navy yards
to place all our available vessels In seagoing-
condition. The united Spanish claims COM.
mission, although organized more than six.
months ago, have as yet decided no cases,
there being delays in consequence of sd!ficul-s
ty in procuring proofs. The United States
proposed that mode of settling the claims .ot
citizens OF the United States growing out Of
the rebellion in Cuba. There can be no dis
agreement on this point but there are otae-
Questions, including that pertaining to Or.
Howard, which may cause further irritation
and give occasion for more determiped poll
cy towards Spain. ~. -

AS regards Mr.. Greeley, the South has much

believe, to love him. for. While he has un-
doubtedly been the leader and the strongest
man In breaking down the Democratic party,
still, on the other hand, he has proved him.

consistent man; and, beyond all cavll, has
proved himself, ever since the close of the
war, to be actuated by q spirit of conciiati01n
and peace. And he is also an able man. aud
a workingman beginning lie Us practical
printer. For this latter reason-th though it
may seem foreign to political matters-the
press of the country should be favorably dis
posed to him. AS yet no printer or news
paper man has filled the Presidential chair.
To see one attain this. high position, would
certainly both please and dignity the craft.
Since the men and the measures proposed at
Cincinnati promise us 80 much Of good, let us
hope that the Democracy, when they meet In
National Convention, will bid these men and
measures God-speed.

Then, when it reached that figure, he said

He held it, and he ran i'll debt for things to
wear and eat;
When merchants dunned him he would say,
''Wait till l sell my wheat -

began to sue,
And lie began to borrow to pay accounts

around the town,
And tries with all his might and main the

When he has anything TO sell It's priceless
