Well Said.

From the Richmond Despatch.
The Salem Times Register, in an article
deprecating imperialism, says:
"If We are satisfied with what our country
is and become by its legitimate outwork-
ing, it becomes us to get back as soon as
may be the power that has passed from Dem
ocratic to Republican hands. BY active work
we can regain possession of the lower house
of the federal legislature. and at once ap-
ply a check at least to the wild tendencies
that are in the air. The return of a ma
jority of Democratic members will hep to
give the republic, as we have known it and
loved it.. new lease of life.
"a failure to do this by party inactivity or
Indifference in viii send us among the breakers
and jealousies that keep all the other ma
tons in state of unrest"
Good advice and timely warning. Never
was there time when the hope Of the repub-
down by the fathers more completely centered
in the Democratic party. Never was there
time when the Democratic leaders were I'M
der greater responsibility to the masses. That
responsibility involves the making Of SUI
preme effort for Democratic ascendancy not
only In order to the checking of imperial
ism, with its consequent militarism and ten
dency to Capitalization but in order as well
to the safeguarding of the people from the
long continuance of burdensome taxation.
Our Salem contemporary says truly that the
return of majority of Democratic members
to the next house of representatives will
help to give the republic, we have known
it and loved it, a new lease of life. And,
on the other hand, the continuance of the
republican party in power at this juncture
may mean the death of the republic as we
have known it and loved it. A Republican
triumph, under existing conditions, would at
lord that party opportunity for carrying, and
embo.den it to carry the nation still further
away from the cardinal doctrines of true re-
publicanism. Democratic triumph would
open UP to the Democracy a grand opportu-
nifty to turn the nation back to first princi-

London, April 3.-The cruiser which

The cruiser has been entirely refit-

were kept secret, as Lieut.. Command

she has been secured for about half

A PLEA FOR PEACE.
Bishop William Lawrence, OF the
EPISCOPAL Church, Preached a Nota.
Bile Sermon Yesterday.

BOSTON. April 3.-Epscopal Bishop
William Lawrence preached a sermon in
Emanuel church to-day and pleaded for
an honorable peace in our dealings with
other nations. He said:
The time has passed for discussion as
10 how the present troubles about Cuba
arose Whatever the causes or the mo-
lives. the fact is that We stand to-day
in imminent danger of war.
IF war must come let it come, but be-
fore il comes, let rs strain every nerve
for peace as behooves a Christian nation
The point is not whether Cuba must be
freed to-day or whether we intervene to-
Gay. but whether by diplomacy, by con-
citation by conference. by any means eX-
cept war. the object which this nation in
its sober Judgment. and not in excite
.nent. believes it should attain, can be at
tanned by peace.
WHAT BOOTS A FEW DAYS
or weeks provided this nation stands be-
fore the world and before God as having
exhausted every means for a peaceful
settlement before a resort TO arms. AS a
people it behooves US 70 allow no rumors
of war. no appeal TO passion. no cheap
suffering Cuba to paralyze our reason,
throw away our seif-restraint or sweep us
off our feet.
LET us do our part towards showing
our representatives in Washington that
we expect them to use every effort for
peacce. They have got TO be trusted
when it comes TO action, but they repre-
sent a people that are on the whole self
restrained and lovers of peace. We thank
God that he who stands at the head of
the nation, the representative American,
has shown himself to be strong, self-re-
strained and a lover of peace He has
had grave judgments to make and he has
made them as though the Prince of Peace
stood before him. He has the facts and
he can we'll be trusted by Congress and
by the people in his own time to act
upon. them"

the whole Spanish navy has not one, and
only two Finch guns OF the twelve
inch guns our squadron has four and of
eight inch guns fourteen. Spainfs four
selected vessels have five 11-inch guns and
the rest are mainly five inch. These are
the points of vantage that Commodore
Schleys fleet would like TO demonstrate
in actual fight.
Commodore W. S. Schley will to-
morrow notify the authorities at
Washington that with the arrival of
the Texas he will be ready to move at
an hours notice. The most formidable
squadron of fast fighters ever gotten
together is complete with the exception
of the Texas. The cruiser Minneapolis
began at noon to-day to change her
coat and the painting will be finished
by tomorrow afternoon Her bunkers
ARE FILLED WITH COAL,
and like the other vessels of the feet,
she is fully ammunitioned Commo-
dore Schley expects the battle ship
Texas within the next forty-eight
hours
Despite the enforcement of the Sun
day observance law in Newport News,
which has had the effect of stopping
Sunday work on the battle ships Kear-
sarge and Kentucky, the divers, three
in number, continued TO work on the
bottom OF the battle ship Massachusetts,
to-day, and made such progress that
Captain Higginson believes they will
be able to finish by nightfall to-mor-
row.
The work on the Brooklyn has been
fully completed, and her eight-lnch
turret guns will now throw much
greater distance The Columbia has
finished painting and coating and 1t is
in splendid condition.
Commodore Schley understands that
the Texas is thoroughly completed in
improvement, is painted the prevailing
lead color, and is all ready for sea as
soon as she arrives here.

In BAD SHAPE.
Spanish Fighting Ships That Cannot
be Used for Month. Rushing Re-
pairs.

London, April 3.-The correspondent
of the Associated Press has ascertained
from reliable sources that some of the
Spanish ships are in bad condition.
The Peyalo started from Toulon for
Carthagena last night in tow, with $50
French workmen on board fixing up
her boilers and making other repairs.
The Emperador Carlos V started yes
terday from the Seine ship building
yards at Havre for Ferrol, with turret
out of position and her guns unmount-
ed. Neither ship will be ready for SER
vice for month They have left French
waters, presumably in the fear that
war might begin before the repairs
were finished, in which event they
would not be permitted to leave.

, The total displacement tonnage of the
United States flying squadron Is 43.l09
and Of the Spanish only $1,000. The aver
age horse power Of the United States yes
sells is 1850 and that Of the Spanish
1175o The average rate of speed of the
four United States ships is PISS knots per
hour, while the Spanish fleet has to con-
tent itself with 10 knots. II is possible
that the battleship Massachusetts. being
somewhat slower than the rest of the
fleet, will be supplanted in the squadron
by the New York. and the average of
speed and fast fighting capabilities of the
squadron will be increased. II must be
remembered that the Brooklyn and New
York are
