A dispatch from Philadelphia,
April 10Th, says: Ex-Postmaster-
General Wanamaker has sent this
telegram to Washington:
"To the Honorable the Secretary of
War:-Though opposed to war unless
honorsbly unavoidable, in the event OF its
coming | will, under your instructions,
raise q regiment of Pennsylvanlans for
military duty and 90 with them for ser.
vice. John WANAMAKER."
After sending bis offer to the
Secretary of War, Mr.. Wanamaker
posted in bis store two notices, one
for the managers Office and the
other for the time-keeper's desk, as
follows:
s'In order that our men may have easy
minds in considering and arranging their
affairs in the event of being called upon
for military service, this notice is posted
to say:
"First-That all the positions thus
vacated will be reopened to return to
when the military service is over.
"Second-rhxt all salaries will continue
in full in such absence for actual service
and be paid to the authorized representa-
tives of their respective families.
"Third-An insurance to the amount OF
$1,000 will be paid by the firm in case oi
| each death while any of our people are
actually engaged in military service"
Mr.. Wanamaker, in speech at
Ashborne last night said: 1--WE
know not to what We shall awake
with the morning light. Thick
shadows of the impending strife o.
arms have settled down upon the
land, Notwithstanding the hope
against hope that lawful costs o.
war in blood and treasure might b.
saved with justice to both countries
and with dignity and honor. The
roll of drums and the signal Of th'
flying squadron is calling Us to war
Each of US must consider our rela
tions to the Nation and adjust ou
affairs accordingly"

Don Carlos, the pretender to the
Spanish throne, has announced that
he would "hold aloof from hostile
manifestations as long as the Span.
ish Government upholds the honor
Of the nation," otherwise he will
stake the steps he deems necessary
to support the dignity of the coun-
try" He gives it as his opinion
that the Pope's attempt at media
ton came too late. SPANS honor,
he asserted, could not have been
saved had the Pope succeeded, and
Don Carlos now says that the king
dom should have declared war upon
the United States long ago, and
followed the declaration with the
bombardment of the Florida coast
and New York. The pretender fur.
Their says that the United States
would then have been compelled 10
surrender. He denounces the Sc.
gasts Ministry, and says that the
people of Spain should rebel against
it as a weak one and incapable Of
grasping with the present condi'
tiOns,

The Wallace Tribune says "What
has become of those pictures that
were so plentiful in the fall Of '96,
wherein Mckinley was opening the
factory doors and making glad the
hearts of the poor workingmen.
They would make excellent cam.
paign propaganda for reformers to
hand around among the cotton mill
operatives in New England, who
are now many times worse off than
when these promising pictures Of
coming prosperity first greeted their
weary eyes. Yes, by all means
have two or three million of these
pictures struck of. and make each
idle and half starved workman in
the country q present Of one Of
them"

The Spaniard. in War.

This war with Spain is not going
to be the holiday excursion that
many of our patriotic friends would
lead US to think, but we may expect
a long war, fought with bitterness
and great deal Of ability on the
part of the Spaniard, and while we
say they have no money in the
treasury of Spain, the Spanish sym
pathizers throughout the world have
money, and it is proverbia! OF that
people that they will fight until the
last dollar is spent and the last man
is dead.
The Spaniard ia cruel, he is vi
cious, he is deceitful, he is treacher.
Gus, characteristics which in any
other people would mark them as
towards, yet it is not true of the
Spaniard. He is brave. The Span
lard may be considered, as what he
is, a different species Of man from
any other; he is logical in conclu-
sions and absolutely honest from
his standpoint. In Spain when a
Spaniard wishes to make road,
he does not 60 round the mountains,
through the valleys, but he draws
straight line as the bird flies and
makes his road over mountain and
valley straight as an arrows flight.
The reason why the Spaniard
made use of the Inquisition and its
terrible tortures for the converting
of heretics, was not because he
wished to be cruel, but because he
believed that such people should
not live, and the question Of feeling
did not interfere with his logical
conclusion and hence the hereto
was put to death without any pity
for his suffering or his lamentable
end.
Weyler, the butcher as we call
him, did not prosecute the non
co batants of Cuba with any desire
to be cruel, but the logical conclu.
sion was that so long as there were
Cubans living, large or small, that
they would ultimately 60 into the
patriot army and be soldiers, hence
| starve them to death, blot them
from the face Of the earth, in order
to put down the rebellion.
This monster Weyler, whose name
will go down into history as one o.
the cruelest, most heartless men
that ever lived, is to-day the pc,
and idol of the Spanish people, and
he carried out their idea Of warfare
In treaties and all diplomatic
affairs, the principle of the Spaniard
is to take the advantage, get the ad
vantage, and keep the advantage
and if to obtain this, lying, decei
and treachery are to be used, it is al
the more praiseworthy for him who
uses these methods successfully.
The Spaniard will fight as Ions
as be can get tub on the water
and we have got row on our handt
which will take some time to prop
erly settle, aud as remarked in some
former papers, "Of all the nations
on the face of the earth Uncle Sam
is the proper party to teach these
human monsters some of the equi
ties and courtesies of civilization
