THE SOUTH IN CASE OF WAR.

Referring to the possibility of trouble
between Spain and the United States,
leading Havana newspaper made
numerous idiotie remarks and proph-
ecies the other day. Most of the news
papers in this country let the remarks
pass with good-humored contempt they
deserved, but the New Orleans Daily
States thus vigorously characterizes
them:
'La Correspondence, a newspaper
published i'll Havana, calls on Spain to
declare war against the United States
Immediately, and predicts that as soon
as the proclamation is issued by the
Cortes the southern states will secede,
as they did in 1861 that Mexico will
at once invade and take possession OF
Texas, California, Arizona and New
Mexico, and the great American repub'
lie will be dismembered and rendered
powerless to cope with the army and
navy of Spain. 1t is quite evident that
the editor of La Correspondence has Q
head on his shoulders which contains
about as much brains as can be found
in a babys rattlebox. In the event Of
war the first section of this country
that Spain would hear from in very
unpleasant manner would be the south
ern states, and so far as Mexico invad
ing this country is concerned the idei
is so absurd that even the burros have
to laugh in their peculiar way"
Upon the same subject the Washing
ington Post pertinently remarks:
"Of course, it is perfectly we'll un
derstood throughout the country that
with the single exception of the Charles
ton News and Courier, no person o
thing south of the Ohio and Potoma
rivers dreams of seeding from tn
union, or could be induced to conside
it for one fieeting moment as q seriou
proposition. The fact is that the ma
tional spirit is stronger at the soutl
than in any other part of the country
and iris for the very sufficient reason
that only in the south is there an over
whelming majority of native-borl
Americans. There alone does one hea
the English language spoken by nine
ty-nine out of every hundred peopl
one meets. There alone do we see tn
customs, the ideas, the thoughts of tn
founders Of the union religiously per
petuated. The south seeded in 1856
on an issue of principle and conviction
just as their forefathers, in 1775, threN
off the British yoke, and in precisel
the same spirit of manhood and determ
nation but the issue was settled b
war, and there are today within tn
boundaries of the United States n
) more patriotic, devoted, and stalwal
, champions of the American union tina
the seceders of 1861 and their descer
dants. Only a Spanish editor coul
, be so ignorant of the temper and fee
ing of this people as to suppose tbs
3 the southerners would not be anon
n the first to rush to arms at the Sigh
est menace of injury or insult to til
nation. Even the British editor know
better than that. Even the French an
the German editors suspect it.

PRESIDENT CLEvELAND's consistent
record of refusing to sign river and
harbor bills, to say nothing Of the ex-
travagantly large appropriations al
ready made by this congress and the
lack of money in sight to pay them,
makes it reasonably certain that the
river and harbr bill now in his hands,
which breaks the record by providing
for the enormous expenditure of $780,
100000, will be vetoed. Congress is
expecting q veto, and, owing to the
wide distribution of the appropriations
provided for in the bill, expects to be
able to pass it over the veto. 1t was
stated in Washington ten days ago that
enough votes had been pledged to pass
the bill over O veto. While nothing is
positively known, democrats generally
hope and believe that the president
will make his message vetoing this bill
ringing protest against the extrava-
gance of this congress something that
will make strong and convincing
democratic campaign document.

SENATOR HARRIS, of Tennessee,
chairman of the subcommittee which
will make the bond investigation under
the recently adopted senate resolution,
says he favors conducting the investi-
cation in secret and making public its
result when obtained. He takes this
stand not because he favors hiding
anything but because he is opposed tO
having the testimony published by
piece-meal as it is taken and comment
ed upon in the public press. The mat
ter will be decided by vote of the com.
mittee as soon as it is ready to begin

Of course Mr.. Harrity didn't say so.
Neither he nor any other individual

no delegate who threatens to bolt ought

THERE is food for thought in the
words Of Senator Hill concerning the
probability of tariff legislation at any
time in the near future. He said
"There will be no tariff legislation in
this congress, or in an extra session il
one should be held, or in the two years
during which the next congress will be
in session" 1t looks as though most
of the senators agree with Senator Hills
very emphatic assertion, for not one Of
them even made pretense of denying
or of challenging them.
