End the war Quickly.

Until this moment, ws have opposed
= war with Spain over Cuba. We have
never believed we had right altogether
on our side. We have believed we
were acting the bully and were being
driven by sentimentalists to do what
we ought not. But we are we believe
bound to have 2 war, our people seem
determined on that course and there
is nc further intervention that can be
had. As this IS the case we want it
quick ana decisive, we want the VIII ole
question settled. We want Cuba
brought under the shadow of our wing
and end forever this wrangle over Eer
and this spending of money, and waste
of human life. We want to see Spain
driven away as quick as powder and
ball can do the work and let us stop
strife and carnage at the earliest pos
sible moment. We are not for humiliat-
ing her, we have no such foolish de-
sire. Spain owned the country and
she naturally fought to hold 1t, but
she cannot do 80 longer and If she
makes q brave and heroic resistance
the world will honor her for doing So
We want her defeated only. She has
not done more than other nations un
der the same circumstances woulC
have done. But Cuba must be takeI
and we had better annex it at once in
stead of having another war over it a
some future time. Let one trouble set
tie all. Let the war be sharp, quick
desperate but end the strife forever.

The Presidents Message.

The message of the President which
we have condensed and publish IN
another column is not a strong paper.
It has none of the ring or fire which
gives spirit to nation, or thrills the
pulse of people. It is mere citation
Of facts which were known long before
the message was published, and have
peen told to the public better on many
occasions. Last, and by no means
least he does not propose any definite
mode of dealing with the Cuban ques-
ton, but asks Congress to give him
the army and navy that he may with
them restore peace on the island. But
should he handle these as slowly and
as indicisively as he has done the
whole Cuban matter, the people viii
not long permit him to enjoy sucf
power, but will settle the controversy
in their own way. The message il
wonderfully Disappointing.

4 Weak Policy.

The Mckinley policy has not Seen
strong with reference to our Spanish
troubles. He had his message ready
10 send in and then withheld 1t, ne
then sent it in and it is indefinite and
uncertain. He asks Congress to give
him power to use the army and navy
10 restore peace in Cuba, and yet TO
what extent it will be necessary ne
does not intimate. He has allowed
the Spanish feet to reach American
waters, and to be so modified as to
present it's strongest front and to make
our fighting far more desperate than
IL might have been had he decided
sooner to take more heroic measures
in the case. Had England been in oul
shoes with the light before her we had
the Spanish fotilla would have beer
knocked out of the water before II
reached Porto Rico, and the two war
ships which recently left Havana
would never have left there t1oatlng

GRAINTRADE AND CROPS.

The Cincinnati Price Current OF last
Thursday says
A striking change in temperature
conditions has overtaken the country
the past week, with HARD freezing
throughout the central and northern
regions. The lateness in this period
in which the most severe freezing has
occurred precludes full reflection OF re-
suits therefrom In the correspondence
to hand, but sufficient Is indicated in
the latest received returns to suggest,
as can be well understood, that sueh
freezings have been especially preJudi-
cial to the promise for orchard fruits,
particularly peaches. 1t is not possl
bic. however, at this time, to determine
the degree of seriousness of such losses:
Where the oats crop had terminated
or made growth, it is apprehended that
the hard freezing has been destructive,
but it is doubtful il the harm has been
| IA great as feared. Weather conditions
have delayed seeding operations over
| a large area, and retarded preparation
! of ground for corn.
So far as the wheat crop is concern
ed. the frosts and freezings have evil
IDENTIFY done little injury, althoug b re-
tarding the growth to some extent
The general tenor of late advices con-
| corning winter wheat reflects the very
encouraging outlook previously report
ed.
| The marketing of wheat has been ir
regular. being fairly free for the tins
of year in various instances. But IN al
| directions the current information i!
suggestive of unusually low position
Of supplies.
The interior offerings OF corn hav'
been contracting, under influence
which include the fact OF farmers De
ing busy, with also a belief that price
are not likely to decline, while there
is much inclination to await 1ndlca
tions relative to the start OF the new
crop. The abundance of supplies II

for much advance at present, or unit
something develops to give an impuls
to speculative sentiment.
