OF course, the President will be de-
nounccd that lie did not make tie eagle
scream" in the message which he sent 70
Congress yesterday.
it is charged that there are those who
want peace at n price, but we think
that there is more ground for the charge
that there are those who do not want
peace at ell, and who will be soreiy
grieved and disappointed and Disguised,
II the opportunity which they think IS
now offered 70. a fight with Spain shall
be permitted 10 pass qnimproyed. Indeed,
the chief ground OF complaint against
President Mckinley from certain sources
is that ne has delayed sending a hostile
message 10 Congress because Of the hope
that he entertained that the whole mat
ter between Spain and the United States
might be settled honorably without re-
sort to arms.
But why in the name Of common sense.
why in the name OF civilization, why IN
the name OF Christianity. why in the
name of business, If you please. should
not war be honorably averted, II 1t may
be? Are we TO go to war for the sake
Of war? Hitherto We have declared that
the distress in Cuba should be relieved.
and that the independence Of the island
should be established. but if these can he
accomplished by peaceful measures. why

True, the Maine disaster has entered as
a disturbing question. and, as We have
time and again said, il there were indis-
putablc proof that our ship was destroyed
by the act or az the conniyance of the
Spanish government, a severe reckoning
alone would appease the American PEOPLE.
But until such proof is forthcoming. with
the verdict Of our own Court Of Inquiry
that no evidence was discovered to fix
the responsibility. that is not casus belli,
but a matter for arbitration. and the
President has now for the second time
proclaimed that fact.
The Spanish government has uncondi-
tionally ordered a cessation Of hostilities
in Cuba, with a view 10 making terms
Of peace with the insurgents. II the gov
eminent and the insurgents can come to
terms, what possible concern is It OF ours
as to just what shall be the terms Of
agreement? 1t does seem TO US, there.
fore, the most reasonable thing on the
face OF the earth hat the American peo-
pie should stand aloof and give Spain and
her rebellious colonies the opportunity OF
adjusting a family quarrel. As in all fam
fly quarrels, so in this. tho persons con-
cerned can best settle their dispute in

The fcroclty with which Colonel Ruiz

temper OF those people and tho hatred

Tie Nose Lasts Longest.

Bone and cartilage enter go largely

termine its characteristics that it un-
dergoes little perceptible change, as a
rule, with the lapse Of years. The brow
becomes wrinkled, and crows feet
gather round the eyes, which them.
selves gradually grow dim as time rolls
on. Cheeks lose the bloom which COS
metics cannot replace and lips their
fnllness and color.
The chin, dimpled in youth, develops
ahgularities or globularities. us the
case may be, and the eyebrows become
heavy with the crop of many years

Wonderful Pumping tsncines.

The standard attained by the per-

Incident which occurred not long ago
here il, New York, where some large

set up and were working at rather high
speed and almost absolutely without
noise twere inspected by an expert in
such nilatters who hailed from an inte-
rior city. He remarked, "Well, those
enginq Is work very nicely now, but wait
until |, you get to pumping water at that
speed 3,nd then you will hear something
from khem probably"
His astonishment may perhaps be i'm
agineH when it was demonstrated to
him tthat they were at that moment

This extends the western boundary of

The county auditor is in receipt of a
letter from the commissioner of
schools aud public lands stating that
he has quite large amount of perman-
ent school funds which he is desirous

ing if good loans of this kind cannot

missioner intimates that the terms of
borrowing on school bonds will be
made as easy as possible and asks to
have the attention of school officers
called to the matter. He says: "If
the funds are allowed to lie in the state
treasury the common schools suffer
the loss of interest. a little effort on
the part of county officers will induce
school officers to borrow from the per
