There is no occasion TOT any COM
passion for Spain until she stops fight
ing, sues for peace, and unequivocally
accepts the terms granted by the
United States, says the Cincinnati En-
auirer. The wretched beings who
have borne the heavy yoke of her rule
as Spanish colonists are entitled to all
compassion of which we are capable.
To return them to the barbarous rule
from which we have taken them would
be like throwing children before tigers.
Spain is incapable of pity or remorse.
Weyler is its best representative to-
day, and he is worthy to be country
man of Torquemada. There should be
no unnecessary pause in the war and
no time given for the enemy to
strengthen his posts or sharpen his
sword. Whenever peace is restored it
will be when Spain is brought to the
alternative of destruction or peace
upon terms prescribed by the United
States. Negotiations for peace with
her will, of course, be necessary, but
they will be matters of form only.
They will never terminate until Spain
yields to avoid further punishment.

is a trife startling to those of us who
were ignorant of Admiral Farragnt's
lineage. 1t is also most curious fact
that SO great seaman as the naval
genius of our civil war should have had
in so large degree the blood OF race
whose prestige on the sea had sunk to
the lowest terms.

The largest scientific globe ever made
has just been completed at Lincoln, Ill,
by George Christian Schneider. Mr..
Schneider began work on January &,
1895. On March 81, 1898, the globe was
finished. He had bought maps and at
Eases to the cost of $500. He worked in
all $500 hours. The result of his pa

comprehensive globe ever made. It is
10 feet In circumference at the equator.
1t is SO inches in diameter. The founda-

telegraph wire. This, In turn, is COW

Above this is paste Of sawdust and
varnish half an inch thick, and the
whole is painted over many times.
