Chaplain Christensen is right; the United
States cannot afford to make war simply for
vengeance. If retaliation for the loss of the
Maine were the only purpose of the present
war. ii might end now, for the reason that
our men and ships have destroyed many
more Spanish men and ships than went
down in the Maine. The infamy of the sink
ing of the Maine was simply count in the
general charge that Spain is untitled to rule
over Cuba and to be the neighbor of civ
SIized nation.

BLAND- ALLISON ACT TEST
Friendly Suit to Determine Its
 ConstitutionaIity. BALDWIN OFFERED S364.00 In Silver to Baker Who Won't Accept It Unless Enough Are Rendered to Equal the
 Present Bullion Value.

Detroit Mich., Jan. 31.-A friendly suit in chancery was begun today in the cir cult court at Pontiac to determine the constitutionality of the Bland-Al1ison silver act of 1878.
 Stephen Baldwin, a Detroit capitalist, purchased some land upon which there is a mortgage he'd by Fred A. Baker, chair man of the democratic state central com mittee. MT. Baldwin rendered 364 silver dollars in payment of the amount due on the shortage.
 MT. Baker declined to accept silver dol hars unless enough of them were tehdered to equal at the present bullion value of silver, 364 gold dollars. Accordingly suit was begun to obtain a. decree compelling Chairman Baker to cancel the mortgage and accept the tender made Ex-Congress- man Timothy D. Tareney is complainant 8 attorney and all the parties are prominent silver men and will carry the case to the United States supreme court in any event.
 Chairman Baker says:
 'T will contend before the courts that the Biand-AEMson act is unconstftutional because 1t did not provide for free coinage. It provided only that the government should buy silver at its depreciated price in gold and pocket the seigndorage- legalized the stealing of the seigniorage."

MILL HANDS LEAVING.
It Is Thought the New Bedford Strike Will
 Last Into the Summer.

New Bedford. Mass, Jan. S1.-The third week of the bdg strike of the New Bedford cotton mill employees began with affairs in relatively the same position as at the outset. It is thought the exodus of the mill hands will continue this week. Hun dreds have already left town. The manu- facturers have not yet made any state ment as to their future policy. It is the general opinion that they will not make any effort to start the mills for some time The mill hands are apparently as deter- mined as ever to resist the reduction and some of them predict that the strike will last well into the summer.
 Contributions from cities and towns throughout New England and New York state has come forward freely during the fast week and the union officials assert that If there is no serious disturbance in other big mills centers the strikers here will be able to hold out indefinitely.

 MT. Johnson (rep.) of Indiana got ten minutes from MT. Steele (rep) of Indiana with which to oppose the resolution. He said the resolution was adroitIy worded. It was, in his opinion. nothing more nor less than reassertion of the Chicago plat form. While the advocates of free silver contended that under free coinage silver would be at parity with gold, he de- clared that they knew otherwise and charged that the purpose of this resolution was to enable the government to pay in a depreciated dollar after gold had been driven out of circulation.

CARTER COURT MARITAL Twiggs Was Offered S1,000 by
 the Gaynors Not to Bid. HE SECURED THE CONTRACT But Lost Money Because Carter Made Him Come Up to the letter-Was
 Bought Off Once for $500.

savannah, Ga., Jan. 31.-Counsel for the defense in the Carter courtmartial this morning made determined effort to keep out all evidence relative to the contract entered into by the accused previous to lSs6-7. The judge advocate placed A. J. Twiggs of Augusta on the stand to recite conversation held in 1891 with one of the Gaynors about the work done in the Sa- vannah river, near Augusta during that year.
 MT. Blair of the counsel for the accused objected to his stating the conversation. The judge advocate contended he had a right to introduce the testimony. The court retired for consultation and upheld the contention of the judge advocate. E. R. Conant was put on the stand this morning. He was at work on Cumberland sound as inspector when Anson M. Bangs had the contract. He testified that Capt. Carter instructed him not to be hard on the con- tractor, as he had taken the contract so low that he could not make any money at all The Gaynors, alleged conspirators with Capt. Carter, were on Bangs bonds.
 A. J. Twiggs followed MT. Conant on the stand.
 Contractor Twiggs remained on the stand up to the hour of adjournment The de- fense made another attempt to have ruled out conversation between the witness ard the Gaynors, alleged conspirators, not in the presence of Capt. Carter, and occur ring before the subject matter of the con- spracy came into existence, but the court decided to hear what these conversations were. MT. Twiggs said he came down to Savannah in 1891 to bid on work in the Savannah river, near Augusta, but was given $500 by John F. Gaynor not to bid He was also given the stone contract. In 1893 he said the Gaynors offered him $1 ,OO0 not to bid on the work, but he told them they did not have money enough to keep him from it. He got the work. He then started to put in the same class of ma terials as had been used by the Atlantic Contracting company the two years before, but was stopped by Capt. Carter, he said, who ordered specific compliance with the contract. Through the expressions of Capt. Carter he claimed he lost 40Oo on the work
