Aprettr Piece of Music

A gentleman in Grafton writes the
New DOMINION the following and re
quests that it be inserted in our
columns:
"a friend of mine, Prof. Will j.
Hoskins, has just composed a very
pretty song "Her Lovers Last Sweet
Song" The music is brilliant and
catchy and the words pathetic and
touching. 1t is bound to be a great
success. The people of Morgantown
are always anxious to get the latest
and best music. This piece is by
one of our own West Virginia boys
who is well known and liked in Nor
gantown for his great success as a
trombone player"

Some verbal conjugations.
For instance, there's catch. catching,

Fight. fighting. fit or lighted?

Also freeze, freezing, frozen:
But this sounds odd: yell, yelling, you'd
Stin more, sneeze, sneezing, snozen.
'Tis right to say sit, sitting, sat.
snake, shaking, shook or shaken;
why not as well hit, hitting, hat,
quake, quaking, quook or quaker =?
Then take the verbs think, thinking,
Sink. sinking, sank or sunken:
We cannot tip wink, winking wrought,
Ink, mixing, ank or unken.
If the rules good, have, having. had.
Speak speaking, spoke, or spoken,
why can't a man shave, shaving, shad

The man who conjugates to rise
And can't say rised, but risen,

l The American and Spanish Navies.
There isn't much likelihood that this
country and Spain will fight about the
Alliance affair. Nevertheless. there is a
I possibility Of such an outcome OF the
matter. hence a comparison Of the naval
strength Of the two countries is inter.
esting. for Of course the fighting in such
possible war would be principally upon
the water. Twenty-one years ago. when
there was the prospect OF an encounter
because Of the Virginius incident. Spain
was much the stronger naval
power. She probably could have
blown the little American fleet
Of tubs out Of the water and have
worked her own sweet will with regard
to the American merchant marine and
those American seacoast cities that lie
close to the ocean. Now. however. things
are somewhat changed. The American
navy amounts 70 something. It is claimed
70 be much stronger than the Spanish
navy. and could be still further greatly
increased in strength within a few months
If occasion required. The American sea-
coast cities, therefore, would have little
to Tear II war with Spain should be de-
clared. The American merchant marine,
also, would be virtually exempt from an
noyance. One reason for this, however.
is because there is so little Of it in the
foreign trade that Spanish warships would
not waste time in hunting 1t up.
The New York Herald has carefully
compiled a summary of the naval strength
Of Spain and the United States for pur-
poses of comparison Spain, according
TO the showing thus set FORTH has only
one armored battleship. the Pelayo, while
the United States have three Spain has
three armored cruisers: the United States
have three Of about the same class in the
New York, the Maine and the Texas.
The American ships are held to be stronger
than the ships they are set over against.
OF the unprotected cruiser, or commerce
destroyer class. Spain has twenty-four
ships, while the United States have about
fifteen. The American cruisers, however,
are larger, heavier and faster than the
Spanish, and are backed by several heavy
coast defenders" that could be sent to
sea, and by such ships as the Dolphin, the
Vesuvius, the Katahdin and others In
view of age, condition, armament, armor,
etc, the Herald concludes that any con-
flict between the two navies would newt
ably result in disaster to the Spanish
fleet, and the option to the American
government of holding Cuba and Porto
Rico to reimburse it for the expenses of
the war, or demanding other satisfaction.
The new navy has cost this government
big sum of money. In view of present
conditions, however, it can be seen that
the expenditure has brought valuable re-
turns. If the United States had less
powerful navy. Spain might return an
insolent reply to Secretary Gresham's note
and continue to shoot at American ships
as they pass Cuba. AS it is, Spain is ex-
tremeIy unlikely to do anything Of the
kind.

The New York Tribune takes lhe posi-
ton that there will be a steady improve
ment in business conditions from now IN
til the restoration OF the fun measure
OF the prosperity the country enjoyed a
few years ago. 1t sees many signs Of bet
ter times. though It does not expect that
the depression viii cease to be felt for
several years. II calls attention to the
fact that there was a great decline in
prices after the panic of 1873. There was
a steady rise in prices. however after
they hal reached the lowest point. and
when specie resumption was assured in
1879 the country was in the full enjoy
ment OF returned prosperity.
II looks very much as If the history Of
the business and Industrial interests OF
the country Of the period from 1873 TO
1850 would be repeated during the period
between 1895. the date Of the last panic.
and 1890. The condition Of affairs is better
now than it was last year. and next year
il Will likely be better than 1t is this year.
Each year. there is reason to believe.
VIII show an Improvement, until the hard
times viii have entirely disappeared.
There are Of course conditions existing
now that help to check a return Of pros
perlty that did not exist in the period
from 1873 to 1850. The silver trouble. for
instance, was not a factor in that period.
It IS true that gold was at a premium,
and the currency in circulation was a
iuctuatlng one, and therefore had some
effect in retarding the return of good
times, Sdl, 1t was not as great an OBJ
struction as the uncertainty regarding the
future Of silver. Great. however, as the
silver obstruction Is. it will likely be over
come within a few years That confidence
is returning there is no doubt.
In proportion as it returns the industries
OF one kind and another will be resumed.
These will give employment to those who
are now idle, and they in turn viii become
greater consumers, thus increasing the de-
-2and for the staple products. and as the
demand increases prices will rise. The
Improvement that has begun will go on
until the chronic grumblers will have
nothing to grumble about.

wits America has produced. A western
senator dealt the cards. There was care

advisability of chipping in. The Ken

The Dana-Noyes libel case promises TO
become famous. The issue involved is
an important one; and that is why the
case is attracting so much attention. Mr..
Charles A. Dana, the editor of the New
York Sun. in an editorial article in his
paper. said something about Mr.. F. B.
Noyes, treasurer of the Washington Star,
at which Mr.. Noyes took offense Mr..
Noyes insists that what Mr.. Dana said
about him is not true, and he wants to
have Mr.. Dana punished Mr.. Dana nat
urally objects. Mr.. Moves went before a
District of Columbia grand jury and had
Mr.. Dana indicted. A warrant for Mr.
Dana's arrest was sent to New York. Mr..
Dana doesn't want to be tried for the
alleged libel in Washington, and he
doesn't think there is any law for TAX
ing him there to be tried for the effense
with which he is charged. If he has COM
mitted an offense he holds that it is
against the laws of New York, and not
against those Of the District of Columbia.
This seems to be the common sense view
of the matter, and as law Is based on
that it is the law. If the view that Mr..
Noyes takes is the correct one, he could
have Mr.. Dana indicted in any county
in the United States in which the Sun is
sold and there is a law against libel. 1t
is alleged that Mr.. Noyes does not live
in the District of Columbia. but in Mary
land Here we have a citizen of Mary
land asking a District of Columbia court
to punish a citizen of New York for say
ing uncomplimentary things about him.
We take 1t for granted that United States
District Judge Brown, of New York. who
has been asked to settle, on April 3 the
question as to whether Mr.. Dana can be
dragged to Washington to plead TO the
indictment obtained by Mr.. Moves. will
hold that Mr.. Noyes cannot annoy Mr..
Dana in any such way, but that if he
wants redress, he must seek II under the
laws of the state of New York
