 We copy from the West Cornwall correspondence of the Amenia Times the following which seems to have been borne out by the elections. ''It is won- dered at by many that our townsman Patrick O'Donnell. should have receiv- ed the unusual majority that he did at our recent election. It is from the fact that for more than thirty years he has been known here and during that time he has been held in respect by all who were familiarly acquainted with him, and more than this. he has always and at all times stood ready to aid any one that might call on him for succor h an hour of need. He has been trust ed when no one else could be found on which the responsibility could be shifted and when ever called upon he was never found wanting As a citizen of our town none can be found who in the past has had it's interest more at heart and his integrity insures us the same interest in the future, His remarkable vote was due to his many friends who have rememb bered times in the past when he staked his very life over their bedside, and but for him would noube here to-day to show him their apprecia- tion." We think that the writer speaks the sentiment of the majority of our townspeople.

Many persons m this section, instead el taking of their coats and engaging in conc honest and legitimate business, Sxp waiting for the return of so called prosperity. Many young men instead q temporarily accepting employment at reasonable wages are sitting in idlenesa and waiting for some easy and large paying position to be thrust upon them Capital and labor both seem to be wait ing. like Micawber, for something to tnrp mp. To all idle capitalists we would say: The way to start business is 'to start itl If you don't start busi- .neas, business will start you. That is to Ay, if you don't start business in ycur own section the business of some other section will start you out of your ewn section to locate and invest where business is. Better build up your own section than abandon that section for what are to you new and untried locali tiss. To all unemployed laborers in this section we would say: Better tenn porarily accept moderate wages and thereby encourage capitalists to locate industries in this section which after becoming we'll established will furnish you steady employment at good wages. Enc sincere wish of the writer is that nsxt Thanksgiving Day may see all the old industries and many new industries booming throughout the entire Housa- tbaio valley. There is no valid reason why the whole Housstonic valley with its unrivalled water power cannot be- come perfect beehive of industry and prosperity. It will become such if man vill only utilize what Nature has pro- vided for this valley.

TOMORROW.

The past week has been one of anx-
'iety and suspense such as the coaatFy
has not experienced for years. 1t has
been expected ever since the report on
the Maine disaster was made that the
end of the week would witness the de-
termination of the government as 10
what its course would be, but the final
decision has not come and it will not be
known now before tomorrow, possibly
not then. Friday che house and senate
adjourned until Monday, when a mes
sage of the greatest Importance from
the president is promised. The time is
SO short between now and the time
when the full contents of this message
Will be known that it is worse than
idle to conjecture what they viii be.
IL the present week passes without a
Crisis having been reached, and what
the end of the present dispute shall be
determined upon, it will be little less
than miracle. It is neither exaggera-
ton nor jingoism to say that the de-
termination of the American people
now Is that Cuba shall be free, and
mat Spanish rule in the island shall
cease forever. Matters have reached
mat stage where the people will listen
TO nothing less than this. This is a
TACT that Spain must look fairly and
squarely in the face. She must grant
CUBAN independence or she must make
up her mind to fight the United States
TO prevent Cuban independence Even
she can scarcely doubt what the final
outcome. of such a war would be, no
matter what its first fortunes might be.
Spain must make her concessions
soon or absolutely refuse to make any.
1t is not improbable that she will pur-
sue the latter course, unless she is
swayed by a right reason that she
has not heretofore displayed. The
United States SHOULD make no more re-
quests, but stand by those already
made; dignity forbids that further re-
quests be preferred; to continue to pre-
Ter them can only encourage Spain to
pursue a course of procrastination.
Tomorrow should be an eventful dav
IN the history of the new world which
was discovered by Spain.
