The last few days of warm weather

An examination OF orchards shows that
apples, ounces and small fruits are I'M

though some buds were killed, enough

War makes a nation better, and nobler,
and greater, because it plays so grandlv
on the heuftstriugs Because II stlrs the
depths of mans emotions. II brings to
every home the deep thrill Of patriotic
lervor. 1t builds up courage, and shames
towards.
And then hat floods of tender feeling
roll across the nations heart, as the fare
wells are said, the last words broken by
convulsive sobs. Then Gene the weary
waiting hv a million tiresldes, the paling

and oh, the grief which follows every
battle. No other grief like that--half in
anguish ut the loss, and half in fervor

MONEY 70 CIREY oN VAR.

The question winch coufronts us il
case OF war with Spain Is in What way
will the money be provided to meet the
increased expenses. That there will be
many different plans offered is certain,
and as there Is no one man possessed
with an exclusive privilege to make sug-
gestions, we take this opportunity to
offer ours
Frst-There is lying in the vaults OF
the treasury silver bullion to the amount
OF fifty millions of dollars, known as
seignorage, from the silver bullion pur-
chased heretofore under an act of con-
gress. This large amount of silver has
been idle in the vaults for many years !;
it could and should be coined and made
available at once by being placed in the
treasury and certificates issued against
it. There are now lying in the treasury
396, l29, 723 silver dollars, against which
q like amount of certificates are already
outstanding. When the seignorage be-
fore spoken of is so coined and placed
the amount would reach the sum OF
$4I6, 129, 723. II is seldom a certificate
has been presented for redemption, and
it is entirely unnecessary that such a
large sum of silver should be kept on
hand for redemption purposes. 1t would
be amply sufficient for one silver dollar
for two dollars in certificates, which
would allow the issuance of $446, l29, 723
in silver certificates on that amount, and
added TO the S50,00O,000 extra on the
seignorsge, would make the princely sum
of $496, l29, 723, or in round numbers one
half billion d)llars of as good paper
money as is possessed in the world to-
dav, and not one cent of interest to be
paid upon 1t.
II that amount is found insufficient to
fight the war to finish let treasury notes
be issued, full legal tender for all debts
public and private, and a war can be
wsged that will wipe the Spanish blot

Those in command knew where every
mine was located and where every tor
pedo was. They knew the few who could
explode a mine or direct torpedo. Have
you heard OF the Spanish authorities
searching for any lost to;pedoes or in
vestigaiing to see II any one OF their
mines are exploited? Have you heard OF
any one being arrested or even examined
to see if they, without authority, exploded
a mine under the Maine or directed a tor
pedo to her destruction? No! This
country has not demanded that. Spain
will no, do that, tor she is guilty. Were
she not guilty or responsible, she would
need no urging to fefte, out the guilty
ones and turn them over to US for pun

Much valuable time has been spent in
talk in the hal4 of congress, hut it has
not been wasted. Tho real purposes OF
the two rOntending forces are now much
better understood, and the real differ
ences were found to not be 80 great as
vas thought. The Cuban resolutions as
agreed upon through conference is quite
satisfactory and meets the approval OF
the American people. The great issue
was Cuban independence and the speedy
evacuation Of Cuba by the Spanish army
and navy The senate resolution more
nearly met the views OF the people on
several points than did that OF the house,
aud with the exception OF recognition Of
the present government of the republic
Of Cuba VAS all adopted. While We think
the striking out of that clause was a mis-
take, yet All discussion OF that question
is now worse than idle. The time has
now come for united action, to the end
that the last vestige OF Spanish authority
in the western hemisphere shall be driven
away. Tat section OF the resolution
which says "the people OF the island of
Cuba are and OF right ought 20 be indie
pendent has familiar ring to it that
touches the heart-trings of every Ameri-
can ciilen. The question whether any
dsGrareful attempt will he made to sad
de any Spanish bonds on such new gov
eminent AS may he hereafter formed on
the island can remain in allegiance ior
consideration after the a'tenrt is made.
The eyes Of tn people of this country are
open and such proposition will not be
submitted to.

NO EXTRA SESSION.

The wisdom displayed by Governor
Rogers in the firm stand he has taken
against convening the legislature in extra
session is fast commenting itself to the
people. A special session should only be
called when the necessity is great, and
the object for which the call is made has
more than reasonable certainty of sue
cess. There is much dissatisfaction
among the people over the failure of the
last legislature to pass measure light
ening the burden of railroad tariff, but it
will be but little more than eight months
until another legislature will meet in reg
ular session. If the people do their duty
in choosing that body all their wrongs
can be rghted. In this country the peo-
pie have no right to complain of their
laws, for the power is with the people to
make their laws as they want them. If
they fail to do their duty they should not
erumble. Another purpose for which
some want a special session called is to
submit amendments to the constitution
to make that instrument conform to GER
tain laws lately declared in conflict by
the supreme court. There are several
reasons wherein the governor is right on
that ground. The first was clearly set
forth in his letter of April II to Carl Sig
nor, Spokane, in which he shows, as it
takes two-thirds of each house to submit
such amendments, that there is no prob
ability Of procuring the attendance of
such majority in the senate of those
favorable to the amendments.
Besides, it is not accepted that there is
any amendment to the constitution re-
