Between the Two.

Morning Star. ....
Some of our militant neighbors
of the quill seem spelling for a
two-handed fight They apparent
ly want war and want it right off.
They want not only one war but
two of them at once. The appear
ance of our two or three volunteer
companies on the street with
cleaning steel and martial rig
generally, has so iuaamed the war
like ardor of quiet sanctums that
editorials are equivalent-so far
as they go-to q declaration of
war against not only Spain, but
England also. We certainly, they
think, ought to manage Spain with
the left hand, while devoting the
auctioneer to England, thus max
ing nice two-handed contest.
This is, as We think, hasty coun-
sci. If circumstances should re-
quire direct issue with one of
the two powers, We suppose that
the spirit of national manhood
would prefer making it with the
stronger. There would be but lit
tie glory achieved in bullyraging
weak adversary after having just
backed out before q very strong
one.
Spain seems inclined to draw
out of the diAiculty-not by apo
lagizing, but by going much fur
ther-by denying the facts. The
two vital faces alleged are that

that this was. done outside the

Why Men Should Marry.

It was clearly meant that all
men, as we'll as all women, should
marry, and those who, for what
ever reason, miss this obvious de-
stiny, are, from natures point OF
view, failures. 1t is not a ques-
ton of personal felicity (which in
eight cases out of ten may be
more than problematic) but of re-
sponsibility. The unmarried man
is skulker, who in order to &C.
cure his own case, dooms some
woman, who has a rightful claim
upon him, to celibacy. And in SO
doing he defrauds himself Of the
| opportunities for mental and mo-
raj development which only the
normal experience can provide.
He deliberately stunts the stature
of his manhood, impoverishes his
heart and brain, and chokes up all
the sweetest potentialities OF his
soul. To himself he is apt to ap-
pear like the willy fox that detects
the trap, though it be SO cunning.
