French had vegetable soup. The
South had to give in at Apo
matox because they were out of
meat. No war can be success
fully waged without hog meat.
Americans are the most risky
people on earth, because they eat
the most hog meat. Ingalls, would
have gone back to the Senate had
he not lived on oatmeal, baked
apples and blind robins. A vege-
table diet woman is as cold and
clammy and unlovable as tur-
nip. If you wish to put roses in
the cheeks of your girls, vitality
in their every motion and brains
in their heads, feed them meat.
If you want your boy to get job
and hold it, go to the front and
amount to something, give him
bacon grease, ham fat or tallow
three times day. The world is
full of cranks who are always
getting up some new fad about
hay soup and corn-fodder tea"

WILL Nor AooEPT.

The Cubans are quite emphatic
in their declaration that they viii
not accept the proposal said to be
made by Spain, to accord them
autonomy.
They are right, because au-
tonomy for Cuba would only
mean the right of self govern
ment in that country while ack-
nowledging the sovereignty Of
Spain, and probably paying to
her an annual tribute.
Since this last uprising, Spain
has sent 1900 soldiers, 81 can
non and an ample supply Of war
munitions to Cuba. The loss of
life has been immense with only
the result that now Spain, by the
very proposition of autonomy,
admits that she has not the power
to conquer peace in that uh-
happy land. 1t is clear that she
is seeking only some stairs down
which her pride may descend
without offending her dignity.
The proposition stands this way.
She in effect says to Cuba: eve
have done our utmost by fire,
sword and by open and secret
murder to overcome you and
have failed. Our young men
have died by thousands of disease,
our treasurey is empty, our debt
has been nightly increased, and
at last we are helpless. We can
not conquer you, that is plain,
but then we are your mother. If
you will still call yourself a Span
ish colony and on Christmas day
will Eagree to send your old
mother a present, we will take
away our soldiers and permit you
to work out your own salvation"
Cuba ought not to accept any
such proposition.

ne 1hllaQelphia GreSS re-
marks upon the unfriendliness of
the English press to this country.
It declares that there is not one
English newspaper which is even
reasonably fair to the United
States" Many are grossly
abusive, and the reason is that the
press of that country gives voice
to the feeling Of the commercial
and manufacturing rich men of
the country. A gentleman, him
self born abroad, who has made
an extended visit to England re-
Gently, says there is no installing
the fact that while the average
Britisher is friendly enough on the
surface, "down deep he does not
like this country" The news
papers deride our statesmen and
our ways as a people, they delight
in wishing that Spain "would give
us the drubbing that we need"
they make vague threats of what
it may be Great Britain 5 duty to
do in the way Of educating
braggart nation without army or
navy, etc. We can afford to
smile at all that, because it is GER
tain proof that at last the United
States has reached plane which
excites the envy of Englishmen.
They are keeping watch; they
can see with perfect clearness that
in fifty years more theirs, COM
pared with our own, will be a
second-rate nation in wealth and
in power. They would not bluff
as they do unless a vision of the
time when the United States will
be out of the claws of the creditor
English lion, and asserting itself
as dominant power of this globe,
was before their eyes. The Press
thinks if the newspapers of Eng
land only keep up their present
treatment Of this country and its
people, hate viii be engendered
which, though we love peace
above all things, will End express
sion in ga navy equal to Eng
lands, backed by a nation, not de-
sirous of war, but unable to en-
dure peace without respect" 1t
is not necessary to wait for the
bnilding of a navy. We had one
war with Great Britain, and at the
beginning England's navy was
compared with our own as 100 TO
I, but we pulled through. But
there will be no war of that kind
in the near or remote future. !
English soldiers and statesmen
counted the dead and wounded on
our battleields between 1861 and
1865 and they do not like the
showing. Modern battle6elds in
Europe have shown no such de-
struction. They made a note of
the fact that when the little Mon
itor opened her guns upon the
Merrimac at Hampton Roads, she
not only drove the big bruiser
away wounded to death, but in
the same shots in effect sank all
the navies o. the earth. They
know it would be difficult to land
any hostile,force in this country
and that they are waiting Irish
men enough to whip all they
could send to Canada, and take
possession of that country. They
are likewise convinced that before
a war with US could get fully
under way, the mills of Lanca-

WE want to ask those who are
active in opposing a Constitutional
convention if they think the work
of the convention of 1870 too sacred
a matter to be revised and remod-
eled by the people to-day? Why
should not representatives of the
people to-day be as worthy now as
then? Have the public lost their
intelligence, their manhood and
their honesty that you can not trust
them now? The proposition to re-
form q State Constitution will al
ways be opposed by those who fear
that their political interests may be
disturbed If such people would
come out frankly and state their
trueObiections they would have but
little force against it. Knowing
this, they are heard raising numer-
GUS objections, which they know in
in their hearts there is nothing in
it, but which they think will serve
to brighten the people and defeat
the convention. No political con-
sideration enters into the purpose
of u new Constitution, hence those
who have been benefciaries under
the present distorted system are
opposed to change Why? Be
cause they have had the best of il
in the past and fear that one result
of the conyenton would be to rob
them of their power, SO to speak.
We like to hear both sides Of the
question, but be frank in stating
your objections. AS surely as pa.
triotism is alive in this State We
know full well in advance what the
decision of the people will be wher
the issue is clear cut, and then woe
to the remnant of selfish men who
have opposed a revision of our fun
damontal law on modern economic
ideas. That is what q new Consti
tuition will do in Tennessee.
