Consul TRAY, lately of Baracoa, makes
statements which bear out the predictions
made by DR.. Louis Klopsch after his re-
turn from the island some time ago. DR..
Klopsch told the President that an out
break of war between the United States
and Spain would result In the death of a
large number of reconcentrados by pre-
cisely the process which Consul TRAY says
is now being worked out. The Spanish
troops are Selling all the supplies sent into
Cuba for the starving Cubans for their
own use. Not only are they doing this.
says the Consul, but they are applying the
torch in the interior districts. IL seems
that the Spaniards have determined to
devastate the island before they are COM
PEELED 70 give it up.

DIR. Broughton, the "Parkhurst of At
lanta," says the capital city has a ready
made shock on hand for every person who
will go out and see what he saw recently
during Summing tour The doctor con-
cludes that IL is not quite so far from At
lanta TO the bad place as Sam Jones said
it was. Indeed, DR.. Broughton's opinion
seems to be that in some parts of Atlanta
the lid of the cauldron is off, and that one
may see straight down into perditton.
Meantime. the probabilities are that At
ianta is not a great deal worse than the
majority of cities. 1T takes all sorts of
people to make a world and it takes all
SORTS of people to make big city. If none
of them were bad people we should be lv
ing in paradise, and The need for minis
ters of the Gospel would be much restrict
ed. 1t Is the duty of the ministers to try
to make everybody good, but 1t is matter
of doubt If the best means to that end ts'to
describe from the pulpit. to decent and re-
fined chureh-goers, the orgies and sins
committed in the purlieus of the city. Such
discourses do not raise up the fallen crea-
lures described: but do they not rather
smirch the pure minds which listen to
them?

The Men of the South.
From the Washington Post (Dem.)

All this fiery spirit and hot-headedness
TO which reference is made above relates
to the Southerner only in matters purely
personal to himself. He is sensitive, per
haps excessively so. where his dignity is
concerned. He is quick 10 detect and to
resent the least affront He holds his
honor and self-respect above all other
things. WlthiP, these Limitations he is
passionately prompt. But IL is a great
mistake to suppose that the Southerner
is either reckless or infiammahle in emer-
gencies involving the welfare and repute
OF Others There he is an example of the
Hottest and calmest conservatism. ASK
him TO act for you in a quarrel which
points to a violent termination. and he Is
at once thei ooolest audi plnst deliberate
Of men or himself he would not take
a second thought under bitter provoca-
ton. or you he takes thousand. He IL
responsible for you, ana he is wise ana
cautious and dispasslonate as tribune.
We did not az all expect the South TO be
rash and furious and hasty In this AFFAIR
with Spain. Her sons will hght like Pa
ladins for the national honor but they
never invite dangers 20 their country or
their felow-mcn.

The Spanish government has ordered
number of x-ray machines from an Ameri-
can manufacturer The order was booked
day or two before the Spanish minister
left Washington. II is said an effort will
be made to deliver tbe apparatus, since
they are Intended for hospital use, and
there is possibility that some wounded
American prisoners might receive benefits
from them. The plea on behalf of wounded
American prisoners is rather far fetched;
at the same time, if we are going in for hui
mapity these. days, why should not the
wounded spaniards have the benefit of
American x-ray machines in searching for
American bullets?

Not A War For Territory.
From the Springfield Republican Qnd.)

To seize Hawaii through the opportunity
afforded by this war, would excite the de-.
rision Of the outside world and shock be-
yond measure the confidence of a large
section of our own people in the integrity
and sincerity of the government. This is
not @ war for territory, but for humanity.
No earth-hunger has aroused the magnifl-
cent patriotism which the American peo-
pie display to-day. The President, we are
confident. will do nothing to destroy the
popular ideal or to degrade his country in
the opinion of the world.

The Germans are great people for uni

sorts of things. A new German law pro-
vides that itinerant musicians may not
play for the multitudes unless they are
able to show official certificates setting
forth that their instruments are in tune.
Just how even a German official would be
able to certify that a fiddle is in tune,
for an indefinite length of time, cannot be

Great Britain takes the ground that war
began between the United States and Spain
when Spain sent Minister Woodford his

Ventura by the gunboat Nashville was
lawful in every particular.

Arm the Insurgents.
From the Philadelphia Ledger Qnd).


The United States could not make
better investment than by sending full
supply of arms and ammunition to the
insurgents at the earliest possible moment.
1t is not improbable that the insurgents
could drive the Spaniards out of Cuba
single handed If well equipped for aggres
sive warfare. and it would be very salts

win their own freedom, with no more aid
than that of supply of arms and am
