ure, because IL comes from one Oh
our best citizens. The subject of
our high taxes is one which is agi-
taiing the mind of every thinking
man. 1t is a great deal easier, too,
to pick flaws with what has been
done, than to suggest remedy for
the present bad condition of things.
Everybody must be impressed with
one thing-that we have been going
too fast that we have been too am
bilious. Kansas, less than twenty
years old, has done more for ma
terial progress than Ohio and In
diana did in sixty years. Every
body, almost, has favored this hur-
rying process. Our productive re-
sources are comparatively nothing,
while the demands upon US are
heavy.
As to the suggestion made by our
correspondent, we should most
heartily favor it If the remedies
mentioned are still within our reach.
We urge the matter upon the atten-
ton of our commissioners. Let
them see II anything can be done in
the direction indicated. Our pres
emit opinion is that no more bonds
should be voted, unless we are to
be greatly benefited-unless we are
to be bailt up permanently at homo
such an investment would
put money in circulation perma-
nently in our midst. ANY remedy
that is brief in its duration, or that
will only tend, after a few months,
10 take more money away from us,
will only add to our present dis
tress. If we could only obtain
plenty of good coal and water-if
we could bring hundreds and thous-
lnds of citizens to earn and spend
heir wages here, and thus create q
better market for our surplus pro-
luce, and build US up at home, then
we could afford to invest money as
In inducement. Otherwise we
cannot.

Marietta and Cincinnati Railroad, which did not
arrive here until twenty minutes before two O'Clock
this morning, pring, in the MAN, confrmatory ac-
with some additional particulars.
The Hillsboro and Leveland accommodation train
left Montgomery station on time. The freight
train bound from Chillicothe to this city, was be-
hind time. IL is said the conductors watch was
fifteen minutes slow, and. in addition, it is init.
mated that the engineer, with whom he had
some hard words at Loveland, said he
would get him into difficulty before he
got 70 Cincinnati. At any rate the
freight train started out and the two trains met
on curve. Both engines reared upwards and
stood almost erect The baggage cars following
the passenger coaches renamed on the track, but
the shock to the passengers was terrible.
Charles ROther remained on the engine with his
father, the engineer and was crushed between the
drebox and tender. The father escaped without
apparently serious bodily injury, but was SO much
moved by the excitement OF the disaster that he
came away from the wreck with disordered mind.

son To believe that he has settled policy to what
course he will take in his message to Congress; but
events may change before the day Of assembling Of
the legislative branch of the Government. This
leaves the present condition follows ::
We have made certain demands on Spain for repara-
ton and that Government, so far as known, has
neither admitted the justice of the demands nor
urged the injustice Of them il has not indicated
what il viii do in case the facts claimed are es-
tablished, and indeed it has given satisfactory
assurances of any character, few meaningless as
surances of desire TO accord full Justice is all that
Spain has done. True she has asked for deay-a
request which will be allowed TO rest until the last
moment possible, but Spain also has indicated I'M
mistakably that she will do nothing until she has
fully informed herself of the facts. Whether Con-
gress OF the American people would put themselves
in the attitude of forcing Government to make re-
dress on incomplete uncertain testimony 10 not
question for discussion here. The President must
write his message and he has but ten
DAYS in which to do it, Before that period elapses
it would seem TO be reasonable to suppose that
SPAIN if she has done nothing, will be in the atti-
tude of having refused TO do what was demanded
of her. The course of the President is then clear
He must report the failure of the Spanish Govern
ment to accord our demands, with such recon-
mendations as he sees fit.
As to the nature of the Presidents recommended
TONS nobody on terms of familiarity with high ofl-
Gals here can doubt, for the Cabinet is unit and
in perfect accord with the President All are as
strong in their opinions toward Spain as thoughtful
people everywhere are and in favor of severe and 1t
is thought, immediate measures. There are two
courses from which the President may choose. lie
may recommend the unqualified, imperative recog-
milton of the Republic OF Cuba, leaving
her at liberty to govern herself, or
he may recommend that force be used for the alb
solute capture of the island and its annexation to
the United States. As to these propositions, the
members of the Cabinet, it is understood, are
divided, some being in favor of recognition and
Others in favor of annexation. The case has not
reached that point where it is necessary to decide
between the propositions, but that the President
will take one or the other is not doubted here.
That the alternative will be presented is shown by
the fact that Spain has already declined to do any
thing until she has full official information which
must require. considering the distance between her
colony and herself, several weeks to obtain. VIII
Congress accord that delayf is n qeusuon the de-
csion of which cannot be long postponed.
