OUR DEfENsELEss co.sTs.

II of the principal Congressional
probabilities of the present week. says
the Washington Star. is the reporting
of the Notifications bill. and 1t Is under
stood that the total amount believed
by the committee to be necessary to
satisfactorily fortify the principal sea-
coast cities will be about $S7. 000, 900. But
only, 1t says that u small percentage of
the aggregate will be required now.
For 81, 500. 900 work may be carried on
until July LIST; during the next fiscal
year there will be good use for S., 500, 900
and then for each of the ten succeeding
years 5000, 900 is asked. AS our; con-
temporary remarks, in one lump $751;, 000,-
600 0oks like u great deal of money,
but when consideration is given the vast
amount of work which has TO be done
can be regarded as reasonably defended
the amount. II thinks. does not seem to
be eXtravagant, and that when further
consideration is given the enormous
values that are now entirely without
protection, the amount asked for by the
committee is by comparison almost in
iinitsimal.
Il Star say that it is the desire of
the Notifications Committee to hasten
To completion Inc plans which have
been approved by the authorities. yet,
as the bill under discussion indicates,
the good work cannot be completed in
less than about twelve years. 1t is not
known what will be the final action upon
this matter, but certainly our s%eacoast
Notifications need looking after and
that. too, without delay.

SHOULD SPAIN Declare WAR.

Should Spain declare war against the
result would he the loss to her of Cuba,
and this fac will prevent such action on
her part. OF course. should the United
States recognize the Independence of
Cuba that of itself would he sufficient
grounds for Il declaration Of war on
the part of Spain. but it is not believed
that she will take the step for
anything short of that.
IT is natural that there should be some
excitement in Spain because OF the
recent action of Congress In regard TO
Cuba's bclligcrrncy. but unless the
United states recognizes tho indepcn-
dence Of the Island the Madrid Govern
ment is not going to wal with us. Spain
knows as well as we do. that we are
stronger ON the seas thar herself and
that the base of operations are at orr
very doors, while she would have to
cross the Atlantic to meet us. 1t would
DE an easy matter 70" TINS country tn
ovcrrun Cuba. and the very moment tho
American foot touches Cuban SOIL that
very moment the Island is los, TO Spn;n
to Spain.
Ihc only danger to be apprchendcd or
war etwren the two countries comes
from Il recognition of Cuban indepen-
dence by the United States. q thing nor
UNLIKELY: or the committal of some not
by the Spaniards which would precin-
itate matters. There is as much dan
ger from the latter course as the former
and therefore ii is that under the pres
ent condition OF affairs the situation is
more serious than MANY suppose
When ii is said, however. that danger
lies partly In the possible of
some act which woul p~recipatate mat
tiers. 1t is not meant to say that danger
is to be ~apprchendcd from acts of I'M.
Madrld Government. but rather from in
dividual acts of Spanish officials. which
would lead up to hostilities. 1t is per-
fectly plain that Spain has as much nc
she can attend TO in the war with Cuba
and. therefore. ii is that she is not 60
ing to war with the United States unless
il is brought about by either of the con
~tinGenclee mentioned.

A Gamer which arrived at Philadel-

this country Is refugees. They say that
they fled from Cubu to escape Spanish
persecution. and that the situation on
the island Is such that unless u man is
an ~outspoken supporter of Weyler's pro-
gramme his life is In constant danger.
Among the party was n wealthy tobac-
co planter named Camilo Albert. who
gives the gloomiest pictures OF the state
OF Cuba. saying among other things that
the flame of war had swept from the
Eastern to the Western part of the is
land, leaving nothing but desolation and

tune to fall unde the suspicion Of the

diately began his prosecutions. first an

REACHING AFTER TIE SoUTHER>
TRADE,

The Cotton Exposition at Chicago
for which arrangements are now being
made, will go very far towards hclpinr
tina city i'll increasing its Southern
trade. Chicago is making great efforts
to successfully compete with the l,o ct
for this trade n with Il determined Of
fort many are of the opinion that It
will succeed.
Certainly there is a desire on the 81 IF
of the Southern people to add to the
number of markets for the disposition
of their products. and 1t appears thar
the Southern Cotton Exposition nj
Chicago offers all opportunity in that
direction.
In fact, the volume of trade from the
South to that point is growing. and has
been growing for the past few wears
and 1t has already been demonstrated
ina the accommodate offered there
are equally as satisfactory ms I'm NV,
York. The South Is no longer comn.,I.d
TO look solely to New York for financial
aid. nor is il so much needed now as in
FORMER years, but when il is needed there
are other sections ready to meet all tic
requirements.
The same is the case for its oxnor,
facilities. Other PORTS than that of the
great metropolis stand ready and are
anxious TO handle Southern exports.
ana therefore,. it looks as though very
much OF the trade of the South. which
formerly went 10 New York, NAV no
divided. =

Commander Walkers objections. based

Der of Grand Army posts. 1t will hardly
be possible to get the men who wore
the gray to participate in such n mr.
nde.
n ex-Confcderates have no desire to
force themselves upon anybody, and the
rae, Is that they would never have con-
scented to have taken part In the pro-
posed parade had they have known that
there was the least objection to 1t. The
proposition originally came from a
Northern source, and the belief was that
there was n Immunity of feeling
among all classes for the parade or
otherwise il would not have been en-
tertalned. However, this proves not to
nave heen the case. and in the light of
Commander Walkers objection no par
ade of u joint character such as was
proposed is likely to take place.

THE FEMALE PHYSICIAN.

Therd Is II growing belief among the
people of the State that female physi-
clans should be employed in all lnstitu-
ton where the Inmates are females. and
while there is some opposition TO the
proposition. nothing has yet been offer
ed to justify it. A female physician for
female wards in the asylums OF the
State would he n good thing and one
from which great benefits might acrue.
Apart from other considerations. the
special advantages to be derived from
sympathetic companionship would count
for much, and 1t is to be hoped that the
proposition looking TO the passage of u
law by the Legislature providing for
the employment of the female physician
In our asylums will be speedily enacted.

reasons for its belief. 1t be-
lteves that free silver is a lost

Democrats without regard to differences
Will fall into line. The Lowell News,
commenting on the situation. say that
the Solid Suuth is still ole for the
Democracy. The people realize that the
Republican party is not the party which
Will beneii; them; they believe and will
continue to believe that the Democratic
party Is the only party for the great
mass of people. 1t thinks that they will
endorse the Democratic party by a rous-
Ing majority in November and II GER
