Keeping Cool.

Despite the efforts of the New York
Journal, and papers of similar
stripe who have been trying TO raise
the passions for war, the American
public from President Mckinley
down have kept cool the past week
and are patiently waiting the find
ings OF the court of inquiry. There
was no financial panic on Wall street,
though stocks were recklessly sold
last week. English bankers and
brokers took advantage of our low
market and Saturdays steamers
took $40, 100000 OF American secu.
rites over to London. AS a result OF
this operation stocks advanced
steadily in Wall street this week and
1t looks now as il the war scare was
blowing over. If the court finds that
Spain was responsible for the acci.
dent President Mckinley will ask for
an indemnity OF $25,O0O,OOO from
Spain and if she refuses to pay it con.
gress will at once declare war. With
bankrupt treasury and all Europe
advising peace it is hardly probable
that Spain would enter upon a war.
which would eventually result in the
loss of Cuba.
President Mckinley and Secretary
Long have handled the whole matter
with great wisdom and patriotism.
They are keenly alive to the POSSIBLE.
tiles Of war and the entire naval and
military forces of the country have
been ordered to hold themselves in
readiness for immediate service.
Coast notifications have been
strengthened, shipyards are rushing
to completion warships and torpedo
boats, and no such times have been
seen at the various arsenals and gun
factories since the civil war.
1t has been trying time for every.
body, but very few people have lost
their heads aud no Que sincerely
wants war. Our national honor
can be preserved without a war un.

The excitement over the disaster to

hamed that great caution was i'm
perative on the part of government
officials. But the opinion seems to
be gaining ground slowly and
steadily that it was no accident that
destroyed the Maine. Also the need
OF gaining time so as to equip our
navy and tortify all of our long sea-
coast line is imperative. The feeling
in the country is ripe for war if the
lortihcations are not completed. But
Secretary Long has not been idle; he
has been almost overpowered with
questions about the dead and
wounded on the Maine and calmly
and quietly borne all the criticisms
about withholding the latest infor-
nation from Spain and Cuba. Every
person who knows him feels how
fortunate we are to have man of
such sound judgment as our secre.
tary. He is reported to have found
a little time for rest and sleep so he
will not be obliged to take short
vacation. People do not fear war
as much as they do treason, spies
and dynamite. We may soon realize

The japanese foot has been praised
for its strength and beauty. Japanese
can walk incredible distances without
feeling weary. They do not cramp
their feet the way we westerners are
apt to do.

reserve. 1t Ltisrare.y sceneXcept in the far

THE NEWSPAPER Law.
All Subscribers Should Road tho
Following Law and Avoid Trouble.

1. All subscribers who do not
give express notice to the contrary
are considered wishing to continue
their subscription.
2. Ii subscribers order the discon-
tinuance OF their periodical the pub
Usher may continue to send it until
all arrearages are paid.
3. If subscribers refuse or neglect
to take their periodicals. from the
Office to which they are directed, they
are responsible until they have set
tied their bills and ordered them dis
continued.
4. Subscribers moving to other
places without informing the pub
Usher, and the papers are sent to the
former address, they are held re-
sponsihle.
B. The courts have decided that
refusing to take periodicals from the
office or removing and leaving them
uncalled for, is prims fdcie evidence
of intended fraud.
6. If subscribers pay in advance
they are bound to give notice at the
end of the time they do not wish to
continue taking it, and the subscriber
will be responsible until an express
notice with all arrearages are sent to
the publisher.
Z. The latest postal laws are such
that newspaper publishers can arrest
anyone for fraud who take paper

Under the law the man who allows
his subscription to run along some
time unpaid, and then orders the
postmaster to mark it refused" and
have a postal card sent notifying the
publisher, leaves himself liable to ar
rest and fine, the same as for theft.
