The Possibility of War.

The government is gradually and un-
hinchingy approaching the war crisis.
While the tone OF the lingo press and
public has been Of less sensational ma
ture during the past week, the impression
among conservative men OF affairs seems
to be that tie situation is more grave
now than a week ago. Still it is too early
to refer to war more than possibility.
The course OF the administration with
regard to Cuba, seems to have been practi-
cally decided upon before the destruction
OF the "Maine", and action has been
retarded rather than precipitated by be
catastrophe.
But through all he excitement conse-
quent upon the Glowing up OF the
Maine, the administration has stead
tasty pursued the course laid out. and
now again the probability OF interference
in the name of humanity, to put an end
to the bloodless murders in Cuba, takes
the foremost place.
This is the most imminent danger at
present; the destruction of the Maine.
is secondary consideration. The inn
preston Is general that decisive steps viii
be taken by the administration in few
days, bur al present all Is largely con-
ieetural.

The action of the new city admins
tration during the past week goes far
to confirm the charge made in these
columns last week that politics was to
be injected into the management OF
Ellsworth's schools.
The object of increasing the board
from five to seven was plain enough,
even though a year and the chance of
reelection lay between the object and
its accomplishment but a great
light appeared III the meantime; it
was discovered that it wasn't neces-
sary to wait a year; that the old
school board is out of office by an act
of last years legislature, and forth
with the aldermen proceed TO recon-
slider the five to seven business, and
elect a new board of three-all dem
ocrats.
The next step is for the new school
board to elect superintendent 1t is
earnestly to be hoped that these gem
tlemen will not permit their personal
or political prejudices to influence
their action upon so serious a matter.
A grave responsibility now rests upon
them, and the thoughtful people OF
this city await with interest and anXi-

Government Collection Of seeds.


Three carloads of rare and yalua
BILE seeds and plants are now lying in
the seed rooms of the department of
agriculture at Washington, waiting to
be distributed to the government ex-
pertinent stations and to other exper-
imenters among the farmers, for tests
during the coming season.
These seeds are the outcome of
Secretary Wilson's determination to
ransack the globe for seeds and plants
which may prove of value to the
American farm. Under his direction,
a special agent has been travelling for
eight months throughout the coun-
tries of western and southern Asia,
the oldest section of the earth, inves-
tigating different varieties and buying
such seeds as are known or supposed
TO be of economic value to this coun-
try.
Mr.. Wilson believes he has secured
some species of forage plants espe-
cially adapted to withstand droughts,
which will be of immense value to
some of our western sections. A
large quantity of alfalfa has been pro-
cured from eastern Turkestan which
will stand terrific droughts, and when
it is remembered that our own alfalfa,
now so indispensable to our western
farmers, came originally from Arabia,
