War with Spain.

We think it the set purpose OF our
law makers to involve us in war with
Spain. 1t seems not to have occurred
to them that the war of starvation
which has been waged on our own
people might as well be ended before
we plunge into another. with even so
weak power as the Castilian. Hawaii,
Venezuela and Cuba, have each caused
us to spend money, and waste time'
and lose our temper, to no profit. une
Hundred Thousand dollars was given
away at one time to pay for some sur
yeying which Venezuela should have
done herself. Two of our war ships

A grave dispute has-arisen between
the president and congress as to who
has the power to acknowledge the
beligerent rights of Cuba. Secretary
Olney contends that the president has
the sole right, which position is fortl-
fed by such men as Mr.. Garland. 1t
is claimed on the other hand that
congress is the power to make the
acknowledgment, and this opinion is
fortified by such men as Senators
Morgan, Sherman, Davis and Others
and by such authorities as Judge
Cody. The question is one that ought
TO be solved once for all.

The Inter State Commerce Commls
sioners filed their annual report last
week. We do not intend noticing any
mart of it further than their recon
mendation to Congress to pass a law
making it penal offence for any per-
son except the duly authorized agent
of a railway company to sell or dispose
of or traffic in railroad tickets. A ticket
of this kind is contract, just as q
bond is a contract. A bond is prom

STIMULATES. Yet such acontract can be
transferred, bartered and sold.
Why railroad ticket which is
contract to carry Jones between two
points cannot be used by Smith, If
what we have never seen logically ex'
plained. and which cannot be logically
explained. The whole and sole obJec
tion to the ticket becoming a species
of property transferable at will comes
from the railroads who want to gel
somebody's money for nothing. There
is nothing in morals and should 81
