Spanish honor.
1t would appear as though snow,
ice an d frost in Berkeley is not detri-
rental to the interests of the fruit
crops. From present indications there
will be an abundance OF all kinds.
The tramp nuisance, so far as being
incarcerated and fed without an OPP
portunity to earn their board at labor
on the street, is injurious to their
heal tn and appetite, as well as being
very detrimental to the interests of the
taxpayers. Yet at the same time a
tramp abroad in the morning for your
health is worth half dozen at your
back door looking for something to
eat.
There seems to be q confliction OF
reports in reference to the lombard
ment of a portion of the enemy's ter
ritory by SIMPSONS squadron, who
reports 90 Spaniards killed, while the
Spaniards say only mule lost its life
in the ARRAY. Well, possibly it would
take several welldeveloped Americans
to make the calculation of just how
many Spaniards it takes to make one
good active mule. In nature and dis
position there is little difference be-
tween the two. Had it not been for
the Maine murder our country today
would be resting quietly in peace.
Our boys would not be separated from
their loved ones and there would have
been fewer sorrowful homes and no
shedding of tears in bidding the nu-
merous good byes." May heaven
protect the gallant soldier boys who
have gone forward in defence of their
country, who have offered their all, in
the protection OF the STARS and
Stripes" Had oar enemies controll-
ed their passions and formed their con-
duct according to dictates of wisdom,
humanity and virtue, the earth would
no longer be desolated by cruelty, and
human societies would live in order,
harmony and peace. In those scenes
of warfare, mischief and violence,
which at present are filling the world
with tumult, trouble and dishonor.
could they behold with shame the
picture of their vices, their ignorance
and folly, they might be humbled by
the notifying view of their own per-
verseness. But people, who, delight
apparently in murder and starvation
and the maltreatment of those subject
to their control, as is the case with the
Spaniard, must be devoid of hui
manity, intelligence, wisdom, virtue,
and in fact every good purpose for
which God intended mankind.
