from Abyssinia altogether, lends
color to the rumors of international

The troubles in Nicaragua are
in their infancy. President Zelaya

what influence it is that prompts

to arms on account OF the growing

PROBABLY no American author
has come done more to educate the
patriotic spirit among the young
people of the United States than
Charles Carleton Coffin, who died
in Boston the early part of this
month. Beginning as a war cor
respondent four months after the
Civil War broke out, he followed
the Union army in all the import
ant campaigns and earned repu-
tation for himself and the Boston
Journal, with which he was con-
nectsd from the first. When the
war was over he gave up newspa-
per work and turned his attention
to the publication Of a series of
books in which he gave a graphic
and popular description of leading
events in American history. Al
though Mr. Coffin wrote many
books for "grOwn-up" people, he
gained his lasting reputation by
his books for the boys and girls, ia
which he told the story of the war.

WAR EPIDEMIC ONCE MORE.

With Italy in a state of wild tur-
MOL over the terrible losses of the
Abyssinian army, with Spain
equally excited over the resolution
passed by the United States Con-
gress favoring the recognition of
the Cuban insurgents and with
Nicaragua in state of rebellion
that bids fair to extend to the
whole of Central American it looks
very much as if the nations of the
world were spelling for q fight and
that it is only a question of time
when some one of the leading
powers will commit an overt act
and bring the war cloud down on
the heads of the people in tangi-
BILE form. The lingo spirit seems
to be in the air although in the
present instances it is making it's
appearance among the Latin races
which are easily excited and as a
rule are quick to forget. But the
epidemic is abroad and the ability
of diplomatic physicians to quell
it will be watched with quite as
much interest as when the more
formidable powers were making
strong assertions, consequent to
the proper maintenance of national
dignity.
AS might be expected the resolu-
tions favoring the course of the
Cuban insurgents, and passed by
practically the unanimous vote of
Congress have raised the ire of the
Spanish people to fever heat. So
far as the Government is con-
cerned, however, Spain knows
nothing of the action of Congress,
as the concurrent resolution has
not been acted upon by President
Cleveland, and the official attitude
of the American Republic is still
in the balance. Prime Minister
Canovas' statement that friendly
relations continue between Spain
and the United States that al
though he has no desire to precipi-
tate war. Having experienced
such hardships in putting down
rebellion among few thousand
of the Cuban subjects it stands to
reason that he will not send either
Campos, Weyler or any other
Spanish general against the SUI
perior American forces. It is a
case where discretion is the better
part of valor.
The Abyssinian crisis, at present
writing, is strictly a family affair.
The expenditure of large sums of
money in holding Italy's claim to
the Abyssinian provinces has never
met with popular favor, and the
fearful losses sustained by General
Bartieri give promise of being a
death blow to the Crispi ministry.

which Russia has always looked
