SOME OF the lingo newspapers assert
that President Mckinley will oiier his
service 5 TO Spain as mediator between
her and her insurgent subjects in Gu
ba. and that if that offer be rejected-as
it surely will bc-he will then declare
that war 10 Cuba shall be stopped
Such declaration would not only pro-
long the war in Cuba, but would very
probably provoke one on sea, that would
be highly injurious to this country.
Mr.. Mckinley should know that the
best way for ruler to improve his own
country and better the condition OF us
people. and to make friends for it
among the other nations of the world,
is to mind his own business and
avoid interference with that of the
rulers of other countries. Any sensible
N IN, in his position, would be content if
ne could conduct the affairs Of the
United States satisfactorily, let alone
those Of foreign countries.

DIAMOND FIELDS FOUND AGAIN.
1t is reported from the State of Guer-
rero, Mexico, that the lost diamond
fields there have been re.discovered.
As far back as 1922 some Indians
brought from that State specimens Of
what they called "crystal chips" and
presented them to General Vicente
Guerrero, who had them examined.
He discovered that they were valu-
able diamonds, and were equal to the
best Indian diamonds. Traces of the
beds were lost, and it is now believed
that they have been found again.
There is much interest in the matter
there and there are predictions that the
new diamond fields are equal to those
in South Africa.

While the suit will be directed

will be made parties, including the
Georgia Pacific. The Georgia and the
Southwestern will not be included, as
they are merely leased lines. The Pc

provision of the State convention,
which inhibits the purchase or opera
