The Springfield Republican thinks that

The Springfield Republican thinks that
the disaster to the Maine puts Congress
man Dingley in a particularly awkward
position. Just as Mr.. Dingley, IT says,
was counting on a Slight surplus some
months hence, we lose battleshp worth
about $4,000 900, and up goes a cry in Con-
gress for the immediate replacing OF that
ship. This was not on Mr.. Dingley' s
original estimates. but the lost ship was
named Maine, and Maine is the state Mr..
Dingley halls from. which renders his
situation only the more delicate. AS the
Senate has increased the appropriation
for sea-coast defence by si,0OO.OOo, the to-
tai extra drain upon the anticipated Ding
ley surplus will be fully 100000.
True. 1t does at first blush seem
pretty hard on Brother Dingley. How
ever, the Republican may rest assured
that if Brother Dingley is forced to re-
linquish the policy of sacrificing coast
defences and the navy to his deficit ne
will calculate himself out of the hole.
His calculation will be after the process
Of that of the boy who calculated cat
out of a sixty-foot well by making 1t
Jump up one foot at time and fall back
two. but that's Brother Dingleys regular
style of calculating a surplus.

A Wintry Landscape.
CHarner,s Ra2ar.l

(Harper's Ba2ar)
Not summers self was ever half so rair
AS this white winter wrapped in ermine
fleece,
A royal silence brooding everywhere,
And all the world a yoiceless dream OF
peace.
Amber and opal. faintest pearl and rose
Orange and purple in the sunset SKY,
In fiery hues the wide West names ana
CLOVIS,
Nor fades till stars are shining out on
high.
Ger steel-blue lakes the sheen is bright
like mail,
The trees in naked beauty lift their
limbs
The wind is hushed that erst did sob and
vail
Softer its tones than mothers cradle
hymns.
Strange silent winter, fair beyond belief
White-robed and fair. and dreamy as
the night,
grief,
Creeps solemnly apace and shrouds the
light.

SITUATION UNCHANGED.

There are no new positive developments
touching the disaster to the Maine that
tend in any way to solve the mystery OF
the explosion. However. expert opinion
that the disaster was due to an accident
Is crystallizng more rapidly every day.
In the mean time the press and the
people for the most part, and with Few
exceptions the politicians OF this coun-
try have taken the advice OF Consul-Gen-
eral Lee and Captain Sgsbee, and are
awaiting calmly the result Of the search
ing Investigation into the matter that has
been ordered.
In the mean time, also. the Spanish
home government and the Spanish
authorities at Habana have done every
thing in their power to show their SYM
pathy with this government. Not only
that, but Spain has FASTENED to close the
De LONE incident by disavowal that is
entirely satisfactory. and is said TO be
as anxious to get at the bottom OF the
Maine explosion as are we. This, we
doubt not, for no nation could AFFORD to
rest under even slight suspicion OF being
implicated through its government in so
dastardly an act as that OF wrecking the
warship Of q friendly Power.
Therefore. all rumors to the contrary
notwithstanding. our relations with Spain
are no more strair9d now than they
were before the De LONE letter was made
public and the Maine calamity occurred.
The administration seems to have been
absolutely frank with the public regard
ing both matters, and nothing that 1t has
given out would justify any change In
our policy touching the Cuban question.

Artistic Love-MakiIg.
New York Herald.)

A very romantic marriage is to be cele-
brated in New York. The bride Is a
charming painter, the groom a clever
sculptor. Each fell in love with the other
works of art before the passion became
personal. Dryden happily said, painting
hath wonderful affinity with poetry, pu'
in this instance the canvas warmed colo
marble into flame.
There is unquestioned affinity between
men and women OF artistic temperaments.
