a friend here who has solved the
problem of getting at Cervera in

modest and would not have his name
used for any amount and we can
only say he is the proud possessor
of wind mill, and it was while
watching the steady stroke of the
pumping rod 60 up and down while
the fan went round, that the idea
came into his head which would
place Cervera on dry ground and
convert his fleet into road carts,
and they would then be easily over
taken by our line of foot soldiery
and captured. His scheme is to
ship his wind mill to Schley, and he
in turn is to put the mill at the
mouth of Santiago bay and pump it
dry, With such brain in our coun-
try as this it will be impossible for
the Spanish to escape us.

WILLIAM EWART GLADSTONE

All England to-day mOurns the death

tendon will join in paying homage to
The memory Of the great commoner
who devoted his brilliant talents to the
noble work of ameliorating the condi-
ton of his fellow man.
Gladstone was one of the people and
labored always in the peoples inter-
ests. He was the bulwark that protect
ed the lowly of his country against the
encroachments of class and nobility
and to the last he steadily scorned the
proffered bauble of title.
Gladstone was man and lover of
mankind and for his life and efforts the
human race is better to-day the world
over. And higher tribute than this
can not be paid to any human being.
Hence it is that all true men through
cut Christendom to-day will join Eng

AS TO ATTACKING OUR COAST,

There is a great deal of unnecessary
alarm and furry among residents along
the Atlantic sea coast and especially
among prospective patrons of seaside
resorts on account of possible attacks
on our coast line by the Spanish. 1t is
absurd but true that many otherwise
sane people have given up their pro-
posed seaside trips for the coming sum-
mer for fear that their sport in the surf
will be interrupted by Spanish men-of-
war. Direful pictures have been paint
ed of the possible distinctions of the
large hotels at seaside resorts. There
is very little danger that Spain will in
terfere with the pleasure of the sum
mer bather. If, however, Spain should
elect to lombard a city of some inn
portance along the coast she would in
decd find warm welcome During the
past three months governmental ac-
tivity in Strengthening coast defenses
has been phenomenal. The principal
equipment for shore batteries are rified
cannon. These consist of Pinch, 10
inch and S-inch guns of both the lift
and disappearing variety. The 12-inch
gun is surpassed in power only by the
13-inch rife on first class battleships.
The 12-inch gun weighs nearly sixty

are born of the hour and have all the

ton from it has been the reverse.
When this nation has administered
unto Spain a thorough thrashing for
her treachery, and suitable indemnity
is received to cover war expenses,
il will have avenged the great wrong,
and incidentally shown the world that
it is self-respecting nation, fully able

clientele full and free discussion OF
all these topics. Dissemination OF
views is an excellent way of reaching

ANTE CONVENTION READING.

A correspondent writing from Char
lesion to the Register has delved
deeply and interestingly into the con-
sequences Of the present war between
the United States and Spain. The
writer makes many conjectures and
asks a number of pertinent questions
bearing upon the proper policy to be
adopted by the party of the people
the Democratic party
His matter will bear earnest perusal
by all the Registers readers, and if
thinking minds have not already been
revolving the same or kindred sub
jects in their thoughts, the contents
of this letter-which appears in an
other column of this issue-will very
likely start the ball to rolling.
Among other things, he notes the
fact that the dates for the holding of
the Congressional district conventions
are rapidly approaching, and that there
is a general wish among the rank and
file of the party that the Register see
to it that the novel and vital questions
growing out of the conditions of wal
are considered seriously and thought
fully" prior to the meeting of the con-
ventions.

INCAPACITy AT WASHINGTON.

1t is a fortunate thing that the forces
Of the United States are superior to
those of Spain, else the laundering
and uncertainty of the administration
at Washington with regard to the con-
duct of the war might have resulted
seriously ere this
Among the anomalous conditions
which the administration has allowed
to exist is that shown in the fact that
while we have captured the Philippines
on the other side Of the world, Cuba,
the real seat of war, right at our very
door, still remains in the hands Of the
enemy although We have had fleet
in Havana harbor and warships all
about the island fer weeks. Indeed, it
is probably a matter Tor congratula-
communication with Washington as

a Dewey Day to celebrate. We have
seen Simpsons warships taken from
Havana and sent to Porto Rico, in
which we have little or no interest in
this war and where. besides reducing

complished, not even the destruction

ties had permitted Sampson to do as

no need to chase the Spanish feet
through the labyrinths of the West

damage there and our whole navy
would be at our disposal to prevent a
possible malicious attack on some Of
our sea-c coast cities. AS it is. we have
captured or bombarded about all of
SPANS possessions except the very
one in which we are most infested, the
very seat of war, in fact, although the
island of Cuba is so close at hand as TO
be geographically a part of our own
continent. while SPANS swift squad

is leading them such a bewildering
dance that we hardly know whether
to look fer it in the Caribbean sea or
I'D somewhere on the Atlantic coast.
This unfortunate situation which is
needlessly prolonging the war; is due
entirely to negligence and dilly-dally-
ing at Washington by men who have
proven themselves to be densely
ignorant of how to conduct the Dusi-
ness of war.
