Be ever thou "A victor while truth re-
mains in power;
The grandest of thy sisters, the staunch-

Where bluegrass beauties flourish and
age renews its youth,
Sends greeting to our battleship. the
brdvest of the brave
Triumphant i'm her launching proud mo-
march of the wave.
We christen thee with water from Lin
coins purling spring,
Where flowers bloom In winter and
mockingbirds must sing;
Where sunshine ever fingers on hilltop
glade and glen,
Around the pleasant pathway of fair
women and brave men.
Glide onward in thy mission, strike first

Remember in deep trouble that right Is

And when i'm bloody battle, upon the
ocean foam,
Strike boldly for the nation and cold

In her interesting article upon the fight
ing Lees of Virginia, which we printed
yesterday Mrs Jefferson Davis seems to
be under the impression that It was Light
Horse Harry Lee who made the sneering
remark 10 Washington about the latters
possession Of "th.t rascally virtue pru-
dence." Our impression is that It was not
Harry Lee who was the author of that
imputation, but Charles Lee, the English
man. and that the occasion of it was the
battle OF Monmouth n. j.. where Wash
ngton relieved Lee from duty, and after
wards had him court-martialled. Between
that General Lee and Ldght-Horse Harry
Lee there was no relationship at all, we
believe.

Unable to manage Cuba, poor old Spain
has determined TO show that she is a
ilrst-class Power by muzzling the press
Well she may for time exercise A
successful censorship over her own news
papers but the foreign correspondents
will send whatever news they please TO
the journals they represent. This they
may do by sending their dispatches into
France or Italy by mail or hand TO
be- transmitted thence by wire. In
that way the English correspondents who
were with the German army during the
siege of Paris succeeded in eluding the
vigilance of King Williams officers.
What the Germans couldn't do the Span
iards need not try to do. 1t would be
easier for Spain TO conquer Cuba than
to suppress any important news that oc-
ours in its domain.

PEACE WITH HONOR is PLAIN.
Richmond Banker Believes War
With Spain Would Re UnjustifiabIe.

New York Herald, 23d)
To the Editor OF the Herald:
1T seems 10 us from all we can gather
that Spain Is willing 10 grant Cuba self
government in all but name, and If such
be true it is all that this government
should require. TO force this country
into a war, fraught. as it would be, with
great loss of life, to say nothing of pro-
perty, simply to crafty a mere senti-
ment on the part of q people whose ca
pacity for absolute self-government has
never been proved, seems out of the
question more than should be expected
If Sagasta is willing to give Cuba sucn
autonomy as We are led to believe he is
and in the face OF this our government
intervenes in favor of absolute indie
pendence, to our mind We ought and
justly so, to lose the support OF all
foreign Powers, and rank as DULLES at
lacking those weaker than ourselves.
AS to the Maine incident If there is
difference in the reports of the Spanish
board and ours. since il cannot be a
question of veracity, but of opinion. II
should be arbitrated. Let Spain give
Cuba real autonomy, send relief 10 sui
ferers, whether they be Cubans, Spa
niards, or what not. and then hands on
and II Cuba won't accept SPANS offer
let her take the consequences. To free a
child from a bad parent is one thing:
TO free IL from a good one is another

vas and Weyler might have been justl-
fable: 10 do so on that OF Sagasta and
Blanco would not be so. and once done.

The Persians are said to have lost 230, ,000 at Plataea. Second Chronicles XIII, IT. records 500,- 900 slain on one side, which may not have been in one battle. First Kings XX., 56, gives 100, ,000 on one side' destroyed in one day. The figures I have given are only for one side when asked the question I thought they covered the loss of both sides, but they do not, therefore the loss would naturally be much heavier than what I have given.
