THE ExcIrEmgNr IN spary.

Well, we'll, we'll! Those Spaniards
seem to be as much stirred up by our
attitude toward them as we were
awhile ago by England's attitude to-
ward us. And, truth to tell, they have
quite as much reason for their feeling
as we had for ours, The action of the
Senate and the speeches that preceded
it were we'll calculated to make the pa
triot blood of Spain boil. But the stu
alton is not yet alarming, for however
much the Spanish people may rage and
imagine vain things their rulers are
evidently not inclined to ''pick fuss"
with the United States. Spain has al
ready done the right thing in regard
to the outbreak at Barcelona so far as
the United States is concerned, and of
course the United States will not ask
any more than what is right in the mat
ter, so that this incident may fairly be
considered closed. And if the govern
ment of this country finally decides to
take any action in favor Of Cuban in
dependence the action will probably be
so deliberate and diplomatic that it will
not lea1 to any serious trouble. But if
it should, and Spain should feel forced
to defy the United States, the trouble
that would follow would probably not
be of long duration. Even the navy of
| this country could be relied on to eff
| fectively deal with whatever fleet Spain
could send here. and the rest of the
performance wouldn't present serious
difficulties to nation so we'll off as
this one is, now that it has succeeded
in selling some more bonds Spain
couldn't well afford to have another
war on her hands just now. The Cuban
war has been a, costly and exceedingly
troublesome affair for her. 1t has cost
so far about $50, 1000, O00 There have been
$4,000 Spanish soldiers already sent to
Cuba, and $4,000 more are on the way
there. About 5000 have already been
killed or carried off by disease, and
many have been wounded.
| The excitement in Spain will perhaps
have the effect of making our politi-
clans at Washington a little more care
full how they talk and act than they
have been, and it is possible that the
programme they have drawn up will
not be completely carried out. At any
rate, war with Spain is not yet in sight

that the discovery was made, along the
outorop of what is termed the Oriskany
sandstone. Between this and the over
lying Onondaga limestone is a decom-
posed mass of marls and sands in
which the phosphate material is found,
The seams lie conformable with the
qualification OF the country and may be
easily traced. The prospect has not yet
been developed, though trenches and
drifts have been dug at numerous
points along the tract, giving evidence
of persistent belt of phosphate ma
terial which can be easily mined, is
accessible to railroads, and encloses a
sufficient amount of valuable material
to constitute an industry. The materi-
ais are not of grade equal to that
of the southern product, but will never
theless bear transportation to mod
crate distance, None of the samples
contained carbonic acid and the ma
terial is otherwise of fair grade for fer
tilizer manufacture. What renders the
discovery of special interest and impor-
tance is the fact that almost exactly
similar geological conditions exist in
many other parts of the State.

"One Thousand shall flee at the rebuke
of one; at the rebuke of five shall We
flee, till we be left as a beacon upon
the top of mountain and as an en-
sign on q HILL" We do not suppose
that the prophet Isaiah had the Jour

this prophecy, and therefore we do not
feel obliged to accept the Registers APP

.AMERICAN SALYATION.

The recent disturbance in the Amer
lean division of the Salvation Army
has brought to light the pleasing fact
that many of the people of this country
are as patriotic in their religion as in
anything. They don't care to be saved
via England. and so they will heartily
welcome the statement put forth by
Ballington Booth and his wife in which
they say that seeing that the people
of the United States of America, in
an urgent and unmistakable manner,
have voiced their desire that we shall
inaugurate a movement affording us
an opportunity to continue our labors,' y
they have decided to undertake the
work. Mr. and Mrs. Booth do not wish
the new and Independent movement
to be hostile to the English Salvation
Army, and do not see why it should be,
because 1.-The United States, with its
vast and ever increasing population.
