Coutent to breathe his native air
In his own ground.
Whose herds with milk, whose fields will

Whose flocks supply him with attire;
Whose trees in summer yield him shade,
In winter, fire.
Blest, who can unconcern'dly find
Hours, days, and years slide soft away,
In health of body. peace of mind,
Quiet by day.
Sound sleep by night; study and ease
Together mixed; sweet recreation,
And innocence, which most doeth please,
With meditation.
Thus let me live, unseen, unknown;
Thus unlamented let me die;
Steal from the world, and not a stone
Tell where lie.

SHERMAN SHOULD RETIRE.

John Sherman has been long in the
public service of the United States. He
has often gwen evidence of ability, and
no doubt his experience would fit him to
perform with credit the duties of his
present position we're he possessed OF his
old time strength and endurance. But
John Sherman is today too old and in
firm for the responsibility that rests
upon the Secretary of State in a time OF
war. This much is virtually admitted
by the head of the administration, for
he has iutrusted to the assistant secre-
tary of state most of the difficult and
delicate tasks of diplomacy growing out
of the Cuban situation. Secretary Sher-
man confessedly was not equal to the
burden, else the duties would not have
been taken from him.
Such being the case, clearly Secretary
Sherman should retire from the cabinet
and leave the important position of Sec
retary of State to be filled by one who is
able to attend in person to the duties OF
the Office and to bear the responsibility
which it imposes. In a time like the
present the position of Secretary OF
S'ate ought not to be occupied by a
| figurehead. For the sake of the reputa-
ton he has gained in the past Secretary
Sherman should step out now and leave
the place to more active man. By
holding on after his period of usefulness
is over, Mr.. Sherman will detach from
the name which he otherw wise may leave
behind him. The well-being Of the
country in war crisis demands the
presence of stronger man at the head
of the department of state.-LUhicago
Record.
Secretary Sherman does not seem to
look at the matter in the light in which
the Record and other Republican jour.
mails do. AS the poet hath it;
The tree of deepest root is found
Least willing still to quit the ground;
Twas therefore said by ancient sages
That love of life increased with years,
So much, that in its later stages,
When pains grow sharp, and sickness RACES,
The greatest love of life appears.
Mr.. Sherman's retirement has been
much harped on from time to time since
he assumed the position of Secretary Of
State. The President would like to re-
ceive his secretary's resignation prob
ably, but does not wish to request it,
for President Mckinley is man of
suavity and delicacy, and would, on no
account hurt the feelings of his Secretary
of State. Mr.. Sherman is man OF
craft, and has been remarkably success.
full as political manipulation, securing
and holding both honors and gain.
And now the Washington Evening
Star of the 23rd inst, announces that,
"from the best information it can be
stated that Secretary Sherman contem-
plates leaving the cabinet and that
within the next few days, 1t is gener-
ally understood he will he succeeded by

of his health, and his physician 30 ad-

THE CASE OF THE vIRGINIUs

Has been recently referred to as having
come near in 1873, getting us in to war
with Spain. The case was this:
On October 81, 1873, the steamer Vir-
ginius was captured on the high seas by a
Spanish vessel near Jamaica. The
Virginius was sailing under the Ameri.
can flag. but was supposed to be carry
ing men and arms to aid insurgents in
Cuba. Executions followed of the cap
tain and several others. The United
States government demanded the sur
render of the vessel and the survivors,
and reparation for the insult to our flag.
The vessel was surrendered in Decem.
ber, but sank on the voyage to New
York. The prisoners were also liberated.
Spain disclaimed any intention to in
suit us and it was proven that the Vir-
ginius was not entitled to sail under our
FLAG

THOSE ToRPEDoEs

In Havana harbor are denied by the
Spanish authorities; but Joseph Pannell
Gibbins, an Englishman, holding pat.
ent for certain type of submarine
mines, and whose company In London
has had extensive dealings with the
Spanish government, affirms over his
own signature that the submarine mines
supplied to the Spanish government
since 1SS6.s7 were manufactured under
his patents, that at the beginning of his
dealings with Spain the government
bought SO OF his mines, which we're
shipped on Spanish government ves-
sci, officered by Spanish naval officers,
from the West India dock, London, for
Havana and Ferrol. Placed in the water
at that time they would be as effective
now as when first placed. He says
further: "In lS9e.97 the Spanish govern
ment ordered fresh supply of my
patent mines.'
When this order to the Gibbins sub.
marine mines came, Canovss Del Castillo
was at the head of the government in
Madrid, Admiral j. Beranger was minis.
ter of marine and Gen. Weyler was cap
tain general of Cuba.
The Madrid Heraldo gives an inter.
view with Admiral Beranger, in which
he is quoted as saying: Havana,
Cienfuegos, Nuevilas and Santiago are
defended by electric and automatic
torpedoes with large radius OF action.
The late Senior Canovas Del Castillo,
who paid attention to these matters,
decided, in accord with himself, to send
to Cuba 100 torpedoes, which must have
been placed in stu in these harbors.
Clacon, the we'll known torpedo expert
undertook to convey and place those
engines" That positive statement o
the Spanish minister Of marine in 1896.
81 in connection with the statement of
Mr. Gibbins that in 1895 81 the Spanish
government ordered fresh supply of
his mines, makes the evidence COM
plete.
The Madrid Impartial commenting on
this interview, does not question its au-
thenticity but considers it 'imprudent"
at this time because 1t "warns the
enemy" and at the same time affords op.
portunity for claiming that one OF those
torpedoes caused the Maine explosion.
Yes, and the man who invented the
torpedoes bought by Spain for Havana
harbor says over his own signature and
with full understanding OF the gravity of
the charge: 81 have not the slightest
hesitation in saying that the Maine was
deliberately destroyed with 5O0.pound
ground mine as invented and supplied
by me-" adding: "I am prepared to
satisfy by demonstration any jury of
reasonable men that this is the true
explanation of the destruction of the
Maine"
One need not state where the false.
hood is. The Spanish secretary of lega-
ton at Washington spoke out of his
ignorance when giving his perfunctory
denial that any torpedoes were in
Havana harbor. Electrician Gibbins
knows the fact that the torpedoes or
mines we're sold by the Spanish govern
ment. Admiral Beranger, who was min.
lister of marine at the time, says the
torpedoes were bought, and sent to
Havana where they must have been
placed in stu in the harbor." General
Weyler says there we're no torpedoes in
Havana. There is no doubt, however,
as to the proficiency of General Weyler
in deception and falsehuod.
