THE DECLARATION OF war.

There is now state of war and a
declaration of war. The declaration
says "That war be, and the same is
hereby declared to exist, and that war
has existed since the 21st day of April,
A. D. 1898, including said day, between
the United States of America and the
Kingdom of Spain" Some seem to
think that the declaration that war has
existed since the 21st of April will not
hold in strictly legal sense, but it is
evidently the opinion Of the Admins
tration that this declaration does not
involve or invalidate any of the acts Of
the army or navy since April 81. The
Administration holds that Spain de-
clared war on the day when she broke
off diplomatic relations, and that the
United States had perfect right to
seize vessels. The action of Congress is
simply to officially declare that war
does exist, and it covers all acts Of the
government since actual hostilities be-
gan. The bill passed was drawn under
the advice of the attorney general, and
it is therefore supposed to protect the
interests of the government, especially
in regard to the seizures made by Ad-
miral SIMPSONS fleet.
There is talk that while there can
be no question as to the right of the
United States in this matter, it is I'M
derstood that, in view of the news
from Madrid that Spain has granted
American vessels time in which to
leave Spanish ports, the captured Span
ish ships may be released condition
ally to see if Spain is really acting in
good faith. In other words, these ves-
sells now at Key West may be held as
hostages until time shows what Spain
may do. This would certainly be po-
lite, and we have been very polite with
Spain.

Il P4TRIOTiC Duty,
ing.

This is free country, and every man
rule without any special training. This
being so, of course every man in this
free country is capable of directing the
war with Spain as it ought to be direct
ed. Already there are indications that
some of the sovereigns are not satisfied
with the way those whom circurn-
stances have put in charge of the war
are doing the work, and soon we may
expect a regular eruption of criticism,
expostulation and superior knowledge.
The leaders at Washington and in the
army and navy will feel the force of
this and they will be disturbed and
troubled by it while trying to do their
duty with all the ability, skill and
knowledge that are theirs. Perhaps
something can be done to help such a
situation, and we would respectfully
suggest that those who feel that they
have more military skill and knowledge
than those who are at the head of af-
fairs give the country the benefit Of
their skill and knowledge by enlisting
in the army or navy instead of stay
ing at home and criticising They
would soon find their proper places in
actual service, and we think it is their
patriotic duty to help their country in
the way we have suggested. 1t will
not help the country much for them to
stay at home and growl or Shrek when
others make blunders. They can per-
haps prevent many blunders If they
will ego to war and show by their ex-
ample how things ought to be done.

TIME SPENT IN SHAVING.

Think of the time lost in shaving!
Campbell, the poet, calculated that a
man who's HAYES himself every day and
lives to the age of seventy expends
during his life as much time in the act
of shaving as would have sufficed for
learning seven languages. Southey,
commenting on this, minuted himself,
May Is, 1880, during the act Of shaw
ing, and he found the time employed
nine minutes. He neither hurried the
operation nor fingered about 1t. Listen
now to William Corbett concerning
shaving: "As 1t may cost only about
five minutes of time, ana may be and
frequently is made to cost thirty or
even fifty minutes, and as only fifteen
minutes make about a fifty-eighth part
of the hours of an average daylight,
this being the case, this is matter Of
real Importance. once heard Sir John
Sinclair ask Mr.. Cochrane tombstone
whether he meaned to have a son of
his, then a little boy, taught Latin.
NO said Mr.. tombstone; but 7 mean
to do something a great deal better for
him. What is that? said Sir John
why said the other. teach him to
shave with cold water and without a

the United States to take the first step
by sending an armed force into Cuba
The United States must not think that
Cuba can be taken the first week,
Cuban republic established the second
week, and then have that republic rec
ognized by the nations of the world the
third week, The United States will find
an army of over 100000 mel>. and all
acclimated, fighting for Spain in Cuba.
OF course it will be easy for the Amer
leans to overcome this force in time,
but that will be only the beginning OF
the war; America will then be COM
PEELED to keep fleet at Cuba, and the
Spanish navy will lombard any city 1t
can along the Atlantic seacoast of the
United States if such course is DEEM
ed advisable. The Spanish can remain
on the other side of the Atlantic and
prey on American commerce, and the
American navy will be compelled to go
over there to fight OF course l admit
that the United States will win in the
end, but an American navy will have
to invade Spain and fight before the
end comes.
This is plausible layout from a
Spanish standpoint But it is quite
probable that this, or any similar plan,
will meet insuperable obstacles.

portant, in the army. Having won so
great a victorythe doctors wanted
more, and asked for the restoration of
the medical officers to the regiments.
Mr.. Brodrlck was sympathetic, but de-
clared that in order to carry out the
proposal they would have to add sixty
officers to the medical department We
regret the decision. If the army doc
tors could spend their first five years
of service with a regiment they would
get into touch with regimental life, and
learn far more of the ordinary army
conditions than they will under the
new plan.-London Spectator, April 2.

SOME SPANISH NOTIONS,

Spain has declared war, and very
interesting and important question is,
what is her plan of campaign? She
probably has one. Senior Jose Costa,
the autonomist deputy for Havana in
the Spanish cortes, passed through st.
Louis the other day en- route to attend
the meeting of the cortes in Madrid,
and while in that city said some things
which are worth attention, even though
it is unlikely that he spoke with au-
thority. The plan of campaign by the
spaniards, said Senior Costa, has been
decided on, and it will be war to the
knife. AS a Spaniard say that Amer
lea will know when it fires the first
shot, but not when it fires the last
Spain is not fighting for Cuba, as moth
ing is to be gained there, but Spain will
fight a war of revenge. Spain knows
Cuba is lost. Spain is anxious now for

WIVES AS PROPERTY

One of the problems Of civilized man
is how to live with wife. The question
that worries the Pondo is how to get
along with only one. Mo1logamy is to
him a condition Of abject poverty.
When, however he can afford the lux
ury Of three or four wives, he is fairly
assured of successin life, and with
half dozen or dozen he is rolling in
wealth. The explanation of this para
dox is simple Whereas civilized man
Is expected to support his wife, the
Pondo leaves to his womenfolk the
privilege of supporting him. This
shows that a savage is not necessarily
a fool Mr.. James O'Haire, missionary
of the Catholic church in Umtata, ex-
plains the working of the system In a
letter. 'Polygamy," says he, sis the
very life's support of the Pondos; the
number of wives a man has settles the
question as to his previous wealth, for
each wife was bought, and for her he
must have paid her father from eight
to thirty oxen; and now his wealth
may be estimated by the number Of
wives and children, because the whole
affair may be simply described as nat
ural human farming. Each daughter
is worth, say, ten oxen; if she is well
built and pretty, she may sell for forty;
then, too, the sons work in the care of
cattle, for the whole of the Kafffir
property consists in cattle. The wives
work, and so do the daughters. But
the head of the family, the man, works
no more after marriage" The dig
nifty of labor is sosnoble a thing that
one cannot but admire the complete
self abnegation of the females. And
yet the absence of work does not seem
to prey upon their spirits. They are
as happy as the day is long; they all
smoke tobacco and drink beer, and eat
mealies and beef, or the flesh of wild
animals or wild birds. They sleep a
great deal, and then rise and laugh and
sing and dance, and play and work a
little and are without solitary care
without sadness or sorrow. South
