 IT is not at all improbable that Spsir
 will foolshly declare war on the United
 States. She will learn what war means
 when she does so, for Cuba and other
 Spanish possessions would be in the
 possession of Uncle $ am wishin twenty four hours and our men-of- war on theiI
 wsy to Spanish ports there to destroy
 more property in month than Spain
 could create in twenty years, and more-
 over keep the Spanish navy busy at
 home. Our Secretary of the Navy
 seems 50 think that trou ble between
 this country and Spain is imminens. l Spain is in 8 bad place; she will lose | Cubs, war or DO war with the United States, but she blindly imaginee she can wipe the United States off the earth in 8 ehort time and Is therefore liable to ''come at us'' at any time. The 1 treatment of our new Minister to Ma dFid will soon result in his withdrawal OF demand fog his withdrawal. Spain
 will be wiser and poorer when she Is done with the United States.
 THE fasoo yesterday in Justice John stone court, in which after dragging 8 | case to this city all tds way from Wick eubsFg, with various witnesses brought ss different times, all causing the coun- ty unusual Bnd unnecessary expense, there was actually nobody who knew anything about the case except prob ably the individual arrested, it had to be dismissed at sn expense to the coun- ty of probably not less than S2O0 is attracting public attention. If WicksnbeFg has no Justices court it is the duty of the Board of Supervisors to see that one is located there without further delay. The taxpspers Of the county have enough to bear without being buncoed out Of their money by dragging such cases 8 hundred miles, paying extraordinary fees to the sher- ifs offios and dragging people from sheiF business to reach Justicss couet that should be in their midst. The thing is fragrant and public outage that cannot be condemned ,n too strong terms.
 Cor. MULBERRY SELLERS wasn'b in it with his patent eyewash aloug side of the plan of Senator Wilson, Of Wash ington for making money. "Why don't we raise gostes?' said he recently; and there is reason in the Senator's question. The Uaited States imports millions of dolleTe worth of goetskin every year. The skins come mainly from Indis, China and South America, ard good yellow American gold goes in- to those countries, which might be kept ct home. Goats" says the SenR- sor ''sre easy to raise, they increase rep idly. They are hardy, and every goat skin is worth 8 dollar and half Why is it that we do not raise goats? There isn't goat farm in this country that I know of, aud yet it seems to me that tbe industry ought to be profitable. We raise sheep, but sheep are an uncer- tain quantity, being liable to disease, costly killed by severe storms, and re- qaiRing great attention If their fleece is to command a high price," It is pos si5ie the Senator never heard of the goat business h this Territory where goat raising is carried on more exten- sively and protitsbIy th8n any where else in the UnIon; and there might be 1 much more of it here without crowdinR the business, as it pays largely to raise | them merely for their skins, while the | Goet thas ie cultivated in the Territory | raises an annual crop Of wool more valuable than shesp's wool. The goat l csn run the business of his own resF ing to perfection in this climate All | that is uecceessry is to give him a chance to start
