Notes of the Day.

The very next thing that the Congress
ought to do is TO pass a Joint reso-
luton directing the Secretary OF the Navy
to send asqualron of ships gunooats md so
on, To Havana karhor and keep them there
to protect our consulate and citizens. For
the second time within a few Weeks a

the Spaniards is already intense. len.

dition of The Spanish troops in the east

All sorts of cumulative evidence tends 10
the conclusion that the end is very near.

more hopeless every day.

Once again, all eyes are turned upon
Senator German. Various reports as to
his intended purposes and movements in
the future are beng spread abroad. One
Of them declares that the Senator has been
urged to moveto New York take leading
place in Tammany Han, and, later, come
back to the Senate in succession to Senator
Murphy. Another story is TO the effect
that hc is considering a proposition to take
the presidency Of the new Tammany trust
and surety company, now in course of
promotion by Croker, ". G. whitney, Perry
Belmont, and others. There may be some
thing in the tales, or there may not. Many
friends Of Mr.. German here do not believe
that he could be induced to loose his
hold upon the Democracyof Maryland, even
with such a promising prospect before him.

There was hveliness i'll the Senate .es-

ated stir by vehemently advocating the
destruction of the whole seal herd. He
declared that the Canadian pirates killed

Although the cotton crop is a couple oil
million bales OF SO short of Mr.. Dingley' S
estimate, still it is large enough to satisfy
producers that they must restrict cotton
acreage or forever keep themselves In
the hole of depression and low prices. The
st eady impoyerislment of the world s
masses, which has been going on for years
and increasingly, has reduced the power OF
both home and foreign markets 20 take
our cotton and cotton fairies, and there
is no doubt that our planters will continue
to suffer hardships unless they can bring
down their crops 10 the level OF current
demand. 1t is hopeful sign that the

1t is stated that another German war
ships on it's way to Port au Prince, where,
beyond any question, it is needed badly
enough. Since the termination OF the
Lueders incident the Haitians are viciously
angry at Germany, and there are gravefears
that some of the Germans in Port au Prince
may be murdered hy the exasperated ma
tives. In such an event this country would
be placed in pIedicanent. More than
probably the Kaiser would reply to such an
affront by simply knocking the city in
pieces. 1t is a pity that we cannot take
possession OF the island and compel its
tnha bitants to behave themselves. There
is not much doubt that some other power
will il we do not, and there is even some
reason Tor suspecting that Emperor Will

Ex-secretary of State John W. Foster,
as might be supposed, is strong advo-
cate OF Hawaiian annexation, and the argu-
ments he uses are extremely well worth the
careful attention of doubling Senators and
Members. Mr.. Foster asserts, and with
truth, that rejection Of the oyertures made
to us by Hawaii would nullify our policy
with regard to the islands for over half
a century, and e, cry declaration connected
with it. made by our executive or legisla-
tive branches. If we do not take Hawaii
we are out OF court as far as that matter
is concerned. and we could not in equity OF
decency have anything further to say
in regard to the fate of the country, which
then would be compelled to settle its fu-
ture wit withoutregard to America or American
sentiment. We neither ought to play the
dog in the manger, nor is it probable that
the coaiition OF Great Britain and West
