War! War! War! This is the
universal cry. The sun OF victory
will soon arise upon America.
Old Uncle Sam is like young
man of 20, has set to wori. with
courage and energy. His brawny
arms are stretched toward tortured
Cuba. AT sight of this the merci-
less Spaniard will fold his hang
mans flag, and, tucking ii in his
bosom, will return to Europe.
Where the weak and oppressed Is,
there Is right; and where right is,
there is victory. After the massa-
cres IN Armenia we are compelled
to come to the sad conclusion that
the word "rlght' has been abol-
ished from earth, and "forcen
had been put III its place. The
mercenary powers of Europe per-
mitted barbarism to crush the
hapless Armenians, while they
themselves washed their hands

Says the Philadelphia Records:
Justice Patterson Of New York, in a
speech before the Law Club of that
city recently, deplored the fact that
the law had become SO largely Il trade
instead Of Il prCfession: and on the
following day DR.. Edward Everett
Hale. in an address before an educa-
tional body in the same city on Nor
ality in the Public Schools, " made the
declaration: "Thera is danger Of the
managers of a great machine taking
more pride in the machine and its
workings than in the results it turns
ont This rs the danger in our public
schools" These words will. Of course,
be resented as the views Of passimjsts;
yet they come from men qualified to
speak as public teachers, and com

phasis which must command Gtten-

Anent the agitation in the South for
more diversified farming as partial
remedy for the alleged Over-produc-
ton of cotton, a correspondent of the
Charleston News and Courier directs
attention to the fact that many years
ago South Carolina had place in the
records as an exporter of wheat -four
and of corn. The flour exports began
about 1850 and continued into the
present century until cotton sup
planted wheat. 1t is believed that
much more flour was manufacted III
the State one hundred years ago than
now, although population and re-
sources have multiplied many fold. A
century and a half ago corn was IAN
important article of export" from the
State. and the trade continued for
over fifty wears. as there is a record OF
about 1000 bushels exported IN
1892. Not long thereafter corn became
an article of import, and some years
ago was reported as 'the largest
article of that character What was
done with the soil of the State 100
years ago, the Courier says, can be
done again. In one country the grow
ingand grinding of wheaton local con-
sumption has been undertaken ana
other counties are advised to follow
the example. eve have proved by "
long and stumbling experience - the
Courier says, "that cotton does not
take the place of wheat as the staff Of
life and that no community can thrive

that of ginning the fibre for market -

The ease with which Colonel Ruiz
and Mr.. Tosca, clerk in the Office Of
the United States Consul-GencraI in
Havana, found their way to the camp
OK the Cuban insurgents near that city,
suggests to the Chicago Record that
"5ho commanders Of the Spanish
armies in Cuba are not very anxious
to find the enemy. The members of
the Spanish legation here explain that
it is comparatively easy for an indi-
vidual to approach an insurgent camp.
but it is impossible for a body of
troops to do so, for the same reason
that the Irishman could not catch the
flea The insurgents have no wagons
Or baggage, they are not incumbered
by supplies of ammunition or commits
sary stores, they have no tents or
camp equipago, they sleep on the
ground, with the sky for Il coverlid,
and when it rains seek shelter OF
sheds, plantation houses or trees.
They move with great rapidity, and
scatter into small bands and retreat in
different directions whenever they are
attacked or pursued. With this guer-
rilla mode OF fighting it is impossible
for the Spaniards to overtake or sur
round them.

seen he wore dark clothes. checked golf cap
and felt boots The officers appear to have
lost all cew to Muller's whereabouts, al
though they are confident that they traced
him as far as New York. 1t is their belief
that if Muller had $75 in ready money he
sailed at once for England or Sweden as II

ever, is of the opinion that Muller had very
little money and considers it more likely
that he has shipped as cattleman on some
