HE HAD FLUNG UP.

The Superior Court was in session
and the little mountain town was
crowded with people. says the Atlanta
Journal. Along about the middle Of
the day, when the judge was worried
with a tedious trial, Bill Williams, OF
the Lick creek settlement, began gal

sternly, "go out and arrest that man
and bring him into court.
The bailiff went timidly out of the
court room, and the judge attempted
to proceed with business. But WI
l,ams' racket outside did not cease.
1t grew worse, and the judge lookei
over the room for some one else TO

THE AMERICAN MACHINIST.

The fame Of the American machinist
extends everywhere. His ingenuity in
planning and his skill in execution are
known wherever man uses machines
and tools. If there is any one branch
of work in which he eXcels more than
in another it is in the building of spe
cial machinery, by which is meant
machines not kept in stock or regular
ly manufactured, but specially devised
and made for special uses.
For instance. man designs some ar
ticle of use which he works. up by
hand or by the aid of machinery. To
produce this article in quantities, at
such a cost that it can be sold at a
profit, special machinery is required.
The designer or inventor takes the
article to the builder Of machines and
says. Can you make a machine that
will make these things AMI Will you
guarantee it TO work. 1t Is alto
| gether probable that the machine

had wheeled one of the big guns of
MORO Castle into position and sent a
shell into the magazine of the Maine
All that the court must do is to re-
port to the President that the Maine
did not blow up, but was blown up.
That will mean the war has started.
Uncle Sam must get ready to fight.
The chip has been knocked from his
shoulder. There is nothing for him to
do but to come back at his enemy. If
there is to be any parleying it must
come from Spain. That country can
offer defense. or explanation, or in
demnity, or reparation. If Spain does
nothing after the court reports that
the Maine was blown up, a return blow
must be struck by the United States
and as quickly as the ships can move. "
Such is the code of nations, as some
of the best diplomats at Washington
understand it.-St. Louis GlobeDemo-
crat.

HOW WAR is DECLARED.

How is war declared" some one
asked statesman this week Usual
ly by cannon shot" was the reply.
This country did go to war once by
adopting resolution. Most of the
lighting had begun without legislative
prelimlnaries. The civil war opened
with the firing on Fort Sumter Just
how the war with Spain will begin, if
there is one, cannot be forecast from
anything in the rules of Congress. It
may be that war with Spain has al
ready started. That will be known
when the court of inquiry on the Maine
reports. If the ship was destroyed by
a torpedo, that was an act Of war,
whether Blanco knew the torpedo was
to be dragged against the bow Of the
ship or not, If only half a dozen Span
ish officers We're in the plot and towed
the engine Of destruction to it's place,
Spain has committed the overt act Of
war just as much as if gun squad

In 1877 he did the most brilliant
work of his life. He commanded the
United States forces assembled at
Omaha during the railroad riot of that
summer, and dispersed the rioters
without st.ife. Next he took charge
of the Wind River expedition against
the NeZ Perces in 1877.
He continued in doing wild west
fighting in Wyoming, and was sent to
the relief of the United States troops
at Milk creek. He rushed rapidly on
to the scene of danger, where he res

a short skirmish dispersed the enemy
