Wliiu1lte with Spain against the United States. Should the war come, which now seems certain, the cost and loss cannot be esti- mated ed.-Cleveland Co. Herald.
 We have never vet fully beleiv- eel that the United States and Spain would become involved in actual warfare, and we still hope that white-winged peace willeon- tinue to hover over us and war be avoided; but our hope Is fast waning, and now even we begin to fear that our, troubles with the Spanish government may result in a few naval engagements-a few exchanges of shots.-Prince- tonian.
 The latest news i'll regard to the condition of affairs between the United States and Spain, IS to the effect that vessels have been sent to Havana to bring away Consul General Lee and all American citizens who wish to leave the Island. This cannot be accomplished before Sunday, and congress will probably not take any decisive action until Gen Lee and the other Ameri- cans are safe outside the Spanish dominions. Stuttgart Free Press.
 In view of all the facts brought out by the Court of Inquiry there IS no room for doubt that the Maine was blown up by a sub marine mine at the hands of the Spanish This country IS liberal spirited to a degree that we would have preferred to believe the ship was destroyed by the accidental explosion of her mag azines, and the administration at Washington held to this theo- " until 1t was disproved. 1t Is hard for us to understand how such treachery could exist ill the hearts of civilized people. This country has known the Spaniard for a long time, hay ing had troubles with him since the discovery of America, but we have tried to forget the past and had hoped that he was becom- ing eivilized.-Conway Demo- Crat.

TRIBUTE OF RESPECT TO DR
 JOHN MeDERMOTT.
From the Ashley County Eagle

Within the last few days. the sad intelligence has reached Us that Dr. John McDermott formerly Of Ashley Co, la. paced away. Many hearts will be touched with sorrow at this announcement, for he was well known to the people of this county having been one of it pioneers.
 He was of Irish parentagc, but was born in Norfolk Na. Nov. Izth 1873. Here he acquired an educa- ton, studied medicine. and being of an adventurous disposition, set out to seek his fortune in the West. He came to Arkansas some time in the JOS, and practiced medicine for awhile, but later adopted the vocation of teaching. He acquired considerable reputation as teacher, and many of the men and women of Ashley county who are now gray-haired heads of families, will recall with pride and pleasure the palmy days of Fountain Hill Acad- emy when it was presided over by Dr. McDermott and his accom- plished wife, Nee, Mrs. Virginia K. Foster, of Montgomery county Tenn. The death of his wife, and the episode of the Civil war, brought about many changes in the Dr's career. Finally, he was again married to Mrs. Alkaline Adcock. of Ashley county and after the

BE JUST TO THE PRESIDENT

Three weeks ago "Stand by the President was accepted as the wish of united nation. It Is still the wish of Democrats and Republicans who think of the fu- ture.
 Men in the everyday walk of life are apt to forget that the manage ment of a nation Is brave under taking. They are apt to forget that q declaration of war involves the personal interests of every citi- zen and the happiness of unborn generations.
 History, as guessed at day by day in time of trouble, is not al ways the true history that is writ ten in perfect calm of after years.
 Countless rumors of reasons nov ing a President and his advisers in this or that emergency come and go, are supported and denied, are approved and derided. From such premises false conclusions are too often drawn.
 Ne are just beginning to learn the truth of the motives that nov ed President Harrison in this na- tion's differences with Chili. This truth tells us that the country $ honor and dignity were upheld without the shedding of blood. We know that the United States Gov ernment was ready for any emer- gency of arms that might have arisen through Chilian insolence.
 Proof that the President of to- day is acting wisely is found on ev- cry hand. One week ago, when there was popular olamor for a declaration of intentions, three newly purchased ships of war, sev- cral torpedo vessels and vast quani- ties of ordinance supplies were hy- ing the flag of the United States on the further side of the Atlantic. To have forced hostilities at that time would have been to cut this Government off from the benefits of these purchases. Much of this material is either on American shores at this time or safely on the way.
 Meanwhile, what of Spaini Her fleet Is no nearer to us; the menace of Spanish arms Is no greater than it was then. The gain is all the gain of the strong preparatory pol icy of the United States.
 Three weeks ago, numerous un- fortified harbors offered to the enc my the temptation of valuable property undefended. To-day they are strengthened. To-mor- row they will be even stronger.
 What of Spain' They tell Us that she is fortifying Havana. Then we learn that most of her guns on the heights overlooking the Gu

DIVERSIFICATION NO THEORY

There Is an homely axiom which puts very high valuation on the ability of the constant drop of water. That it will in time wear away the hardest stone seems to apply to everything except the farmer. For years he has so in differently refused to be worn away under the never ending shower of essays, addresses and editorial prayers urging him to diversity, to rotate and to farm on the inten- siye principle and warning him against oVerproduction, lien-crop- ping an other similar practices, un- til popular superstition has sprung up that he is either of an indestructible quality of stone or what IS more rational to suppose from appearances, that he receives the impressions of said drops very much after the manner of duck. In the hopes of possibly dislodging few feathers, 1t is, out of respect for the timely nature of the admo- milton, urged uponall planning for their seasons crops to exercise plain common sense and to plant besides a principle crop a good side line of all necessary food sup plies, besides rearing stock and fowls requisite for home use. The essence of the necessity for diver sification is that if the staple crop should fail totally, or from over production fail to realize its cost of production. that the producer hay ing raised enough besides not only to supply his necessities, but to at least keep the wolf from the door, can still maintain his indepen- dence.
 With the double necessity of a just regard for and knowledge of the needs of his soil, no intelligent producer will continue to grow year after year my specific pro- duct solely. The folly of raising an exclusive crop of anything will some day, it is hoped, be realized. The Louisiana planter thus sums up the operation of successful system of farming:
 The farmer who succeeds best is he who utilizes to the best ad- vantage all the capabilities of his farm. This he cannot do, of course, if he gives all his time and labor to d single crop. The land will need d renewal of its supply of plant food by fertilizing. The cheapest method of securing this necessary requirement is to keep plenty of live stock on the farm. The stock, by grazing, can utilize the uncultivated land. But they will require feed, and it will be cheaper to raise the feed than to buy it. And variety of feed will be required, so that here m oppor- tunity is given for rotation of crops, thus avoiding the wearing

How The Situation is View
 ed by Arkansas Papers.

WE give below a list of ex- tracts from Arkansas papers to show how the war question is viewed in this State. It will be readily seen that the Arkansas editors are nervy set of fellow S and had about as soon tackle Spain as not:
 War now seems to be so near that we can imagine we smell powder.-Johnson Co. Herald.
 If war should come we shall all of us get enough of it. The old war horses and the young war colts who are now snithng the battle from atar need not fear that there will not be enough to go around.-Ark. Democrat
 Spain hasnotas yet asked this l Government why it ordered all OUT fighting craft painted black, hut when she puts the query she should be informed that Is 1t on i lY a prcpatory step in the work i Uncle Sam will soon undertake of painting the Spanish navy red.-Press Eagle.
 In case this country is forced into war with Spain, 1t will go down to history as a remarka- ble instance of long torbearance of a strong and powerful power with a weak and vacillating lit i tlenation. Ne have been entire ly too lenient with the Dons.- TeXarkanian.
 If the question of whether we should whip Spain or make a peaceable deal with her and leave Cuba under the Spanish flag were submitted to vote of the people of the United States more than three fourths of them would vote for war.-White Go. Citizen.
 Perhaps before this paper reaches the reader war mav have been declared between the United States and Spain We are prac- ticing running every day, and if the hateful Spaniards land upon our shores they will find us ready to fly. Ne have done them no harm, and never expect to, but they must keep their distanee.- Portland Enterprise.
 \ week ago the World said Mr Mckinley was i'll q close place Heis still in close place, but 1t begins to appear that he is a bigger man than the country gave him credit for. If he steers this great country safely between the Scylla of sentimental passion and the Charybdis of Spanish treachery as exemplifed in the Maine disaster, he will deserve the plaudits of all good men, Helena World.
 The southern people, as a rule, while they will talk war, and try to obtain all information possible, are busy putting i'll theircrops and attending to their usual business as if a war was not near. They reason like this: fit comes, all right: we'll still hold up our end. and We can be depended on to defend this gov ernment against all comers.-La- Fayette Recorder.
 Theprospect for war is exceed ingly good this morning Gener- al Lee and all other American consular officers have been or dered to leave Cuba. They land ed in Havana yesterday and the general opinion is that war will be declared at once. It Is now conceded that no other power

THE American people of all shades of political faith admire Fitshugh Lee, and believe him to be the right man in the right place in Cuba. But he does not represent the democratic side of the issue that will be fought out i'll the next national campaign, andit tis folly to be talking about nominating him for president "- ] Ouachita Herald.

eight bells when the game closed and
