that in the event of retirement the Bri-

Judge Wofford is one of the ablest
criminal lawyers in the state of Mis-
souri,. He has been on the bench in
Jackson county. of which Kansas City
is the seat for the past six years.
Judge Wofford is one of the leading
Democrats of the Southwest. There is
no better or more widely known man
in that section of the country.
The careful balancing of right and
wrong and the dispensing of even
handed justice brings with it judicial
discriminating habit of mind that no
profession cultivates like the law.
Judge Wofford is not one of those
persons who are afraid to see things
with their own eyes, to weigh evidence
and to govern their lives accordingly.
Judge Wofford was in poor health. His
friends advised him to use Paine's

week. He may leave. today, and he
may not leave before Sunday. His in
structions simply provide that he shall
prepare to come home as soon as he
can conveniently do so. Minister Polo

For the first time since his arrival,

he said to visitor that Spain had
gone as far as she ever would in the
direction of concession.
If Minister Woodford still hopes for
peace, as his letter to the Spanish press
suggests, his hope finds no reflection
in the mind of the Spanish minister
here.
Indeed. it is suspected in Washington
nov, that Woodford in his eagerness
for peace has seriously embarrassed
the negotiations which might have led
to such a result.
He has been holding out to Spain the
fantastic hope that the United States
eventually might accept armistice or
some other arrangement which did not
involve the bald and unconditional
abandonment of Cuba. and thus has
allowed Spain TO drift from one sug-
gestion Cf CO ompr0m;se to another, until
she has reached point where national
pride will not permit the full uncondi-
tional surrender without which the
United States will not be content.
Had the Sagasta ministry understood
clearly from the beginning that there
was only one way out of the difficulty
without a resort to arms, the result
might have been different. But Wood

He will hold no further communication

can be maintained. The resources of

fewer obstacles to progress among Dem

The movement to consider the whole

looked up the precedents find the only

when war was declared against Great
Britain in 1872 the declaration was con-

VOTE FOR YOUR TEACHER.
A Handsome Plano offered by the
Di,patch to Successful Candidate.

The Dispatch proposes to inaugurate
contest which bids fair to greatly interest
its readers. We will offer a handsome
new Kingsbury new scale piano, manu-
featured by the Cable Company, Chicago
and which is sold for 800, the instru-
ment to be voted TO some teacher within
the States of Virginia. North Carolina
and West Virginia. A coupon ballot VIII
be found on the first page Of the Dis
match. and it will be continued for
three weeks, the last days issue
of ballot being the 9th Of May.
The last ballots will be received
on Monday, the 3Oth Of May, and II the
committee Of canvassers shall have COM
pleted their work Of counting the ballots,
the announcement will be made of the
successful candidate in our issue of June
9Th. A large ballot-box will be found in
our counting-room, and the votes are
dropped into it without any counting of
them by the Dispatch. and hence no ex-
act idea can be obtainable of how fast
any candidate is gaining.
You can vote for any kind of teacher
you wish.
The piano is now on exhibition at
2iS east Broad street, where the instru-
ment was purchased by us.
n. B.-We have nothing to do with the
agencies at work soliciting votes for
this. that. or the other teacher; or what
It may please the successful teacher 10
do with the prize. All we have to do is
TO receive genuine Dispatch ballots. and
count them for the teachers for whom
voted. This in answer to numerous en-
quries.
