Curative Power,

of Ayers Sarsaparilla, is the exclu-
sive use Of the sarsaparilla imported
from Honduras. The home-growing
varieties Of the plant do not have
the strength or hemedicinal proper
ties Of the foreign plant and Ayers
Satsaparilla is the only preparation
using the Honduran Sarsaparilla
exclusively.
The safe rule By which to buy
sarsaparilla is this Ask for the

for Ayer's-and you'll get the best.

There's nothing new to be said
about the seasons. The quotation
from Riley's verse about sums up
the variableness of the three months
that include the spring: March, the
same old clustering roysterer, fore
ing the dust down your throat
fretful April, that bats you with a
sunbeam, to wet you with shower;
May, playing the coquette, hover
ING betwixt flowers and frost; they
are all and always the same
There's nothing new, either, in the
way of spring sensations. There's
the general breaking out of men,
women, and children, that IS as
much a sign Of the season as the
buddinp branches Of the trees.

POSSIBLE WAR WITH SPAIN.

There is such positiveness in the more
recent dispatches regarding the trouble
with Spain that we must assume them
to embody a large element of truth.
This being granted. are we to believe
that the Assistant Secretary Of the
Navy has expressed the opinion to a
number of militia commanders called
into counsel by him, that this country
is on the eve of war with Spain?
He desired those whom he addressed
not to underestimate the gravity Of the
situation, we are told. This situation
then must arise cut of the
communication by Minister Woodford
to the Spanish Premier. What, then,
was that communication, which, by the
way. is represented as being oral-a
must unusual proceeding, where so
much is involved?
The United States Minister, we are
told, informed the Spanish Premier
that the Government of the United
States preferred the request that Spain
should speedily bring the Cuban war to
a close. and to that end the good offices
of the United States were rendered. un-
der the belief that a settlement can be
effected just to the Cubans and honora-
ble to the Spanish.
The language used was that of diplo-
macy. It's meaning must be looked for
therefore beneath and not on the sur
face, since it is the high art Of diplo-
macy to conceal meaning and yet to
render it's discovery not difficult The
meaning, then, of General Woodford' S
communication takes the form of a de-
mand; it is practically notification to
Spain that the Government of the
United States is prepared to recognize
the independence of the Cubans. or to
recognize their belligerency, or to inter
fere to stop the war, on the grounds Of
humanity, and to compel the combat
ants to peacefully adjust their differ
ences.
Recognition of belligerency is not
usually, if ever, made the subject OF
diplomatic negotiation, since it does
not involve recognition of title or
right, but is simply confession of an ex-
listing condition. Moreover it always
precedes recognition Of independence,
If the latter is not primarily contem-
plated. But we have not given Cubans
belligerent recognition.
Therefore what the United States
Minister meant was that the United
States demands that the war close
speedily, and that if it does not it will
be taken as admission of the incapaci-
ty on the part of Spain to maintain
her authority in the island to the ex-
tent of commanding such peace that
the commerce of nations with Cuba
may be prosecuted without undue hard
ships and delays.
From this we must conclude then
that the Government contemplates rec
ognition Of the independence of the Gu
bans. This would be an unfriendly act
towards Spain, if done without hel
consent. Spain never will acquiesce
and hence there is meat in the warning
of Assistant Secretary of the Navy
Mr.. Roosevelt, that we are on the eve
of war with Spain. BY a justifable
course of reasoning. therefore, we come
to the conclusion that the dispatche:
state the truth, and not the vaporing:
and fancies of correspondents ant

The Tragic Side.

Out from the North came note as bold
As the iron clang of midnight bell;
And, carried by wind and tide,
Echoing far and wide
1t struck the hearts of men as it fell
With a fierce wild clangor of
Gold! Goldi Gold!
AS the dreadful clomor filled the air,
The brains of tOiling men caught fire,
And madness came from the mad desire
For Gold.
God and the right were alike forgot,
Aye, home and wife and all things fair
Were fast shut out by a horrible blot
OF Gold.
Oh, God, dear God, ere it be too late,
Have pity, for wives and childrens sake
And let the threat of the blast of cold
Turn maddened men from their lust Of
gold;
Our Father, for the children's sake.

bic to do anything or get the money
out of the country, so he slipped away,
coming back here to make better prep
arations for bringing home the treas
ure.
On reaching home May found his per-
sonal business in a tangle, his lands
wound up in legal tangles in his old
place in California, and his ships,
which had set out for trade in the
Gulf of Mexico, wrecked. Then came
legal complications with the Govern
ment and the hard times of the last
two years, s~ that the Captain has
been detained from returning to the
place to get the gold. But he has met
men who verified the statements of
the veteran, men who fought in the
Mexican war and had heard of the loss
of the money. The Captain now ex-
poets to go to Mexico within a few
weeks, and is confident of coming back
with the $150,000 in gold.
The Captain will take with him an
outfit consisting of a diamond drill,
with which he will prospect all about
the vicinity Of the spot. He believes
that it will be but the work of few
of wood, but strapped with iron bands.
Just what claim may be made on the
money by the Mexican Government he
does not know, but there is no custom
duty on coin of any realm being car
ried into foreign country. Neither
does he undertake to say what claims
the United States would present against
the gold. The money was sent to Gen
eral Taylor to pay off the troops, and
its amount is mentioned in the papers
of the WarDepartment of that date,
the Captain asserts. The fact that its
loss was not reported is accounted for
by the Captain stating that the su-
perior officers simply did not report it,
as it was not lost in a fight, but dur
ing a storm, and the loss was not known
till after the troops had reached ia
