 Sepor Emilio Castelar,, Spanish
 politician, has written an article in
 which he says the American nation
 isin a condition of mental decay.
 .Cousul General Lee is bigger
 man today than Old Bryan" in the
 democratic party, as we'll as among
 Americans generally.
 The congressmaI who 's not m
 troducing war resolutions these days
 is not looking for reelection. This
 leads us to believe that Our Mark
 has decided not to stand Tor re-
 election.
 American consuls in foreign coun-
 tries have been instructed to be on
 the lookout for Spanish wal craft
 and to report their movement at
 once to the United States.
 This. (Tuesdsy) morning, at 2 o'clock, the Senate passed the reso-
 Iution as agreed upon by confer ence committee. The resolution is but little different from the one passed by the House.
 Commodore Schley is proud oi h:s squadron. Alter returning from his practice cruise last week, be -o-.-IoI. ssTbo-.ss e 1ooI lof of fighters for you I'd like to see any body that can whip them"
 That Spanish fiotilla IS getting to be ubiquitous. It has been reported seen at three different parts of the Atlantic ocean hundreds of miles apart within as many days.
 J. A. Mccall, president ot the New York Life Insurance Company, has made a tender of $10OO0,0O0 to the government in case of war with Spain.
 General Miles would not let the troops march through the streets of San Francisco. A military parade without the head of the army at the head of it, would be a tame affair after all. He was right in prohibit ing it.
 Senator Lodge, of Massachusetts, has rendered his spacious residence to the government for use as a signal station. It commands a sweeping view of Massachusetts bay and the entrance of Boston harbor.
 It looks just little as though that Cuban iunta was undertaking to dictate little to this country Tn regard to its Cuban policy. The administration will however not be influenced by it any more than by Spain.
 The talk about danger to Ameri- can commerce from Spanish priva- teers that will be fitted out by speeulators, is mostly moonshine. We wifi lick Spain to a standstill before any of these privateers can be outftted for a cruise.
 Our contemporary expresses the opinion that the president means by armed intervention to assist Spain in retaining her hold on Cuba If this construction of the message were telegraphed, by its origin tor, to Sagasta, it would DO doubt tend 10 cool of the Spanish people, and result in the recall of tkeir torpedo fleet.
 President McKinley's order to hoist Old Glory over Hawaii the ! moment that hostilities are known to have begun between the United States and Spain, was all right from i every point of view. We shall need , a naval supply station in the Pacific s and We also wish the world to under { stand that the little job of whip [ ping Spain will not cause Us 10 wave [ any of ou: claims on Hawaii. President MeKinley's message rec V ommends armed intervention. This q is simply another name for a recom- f mendation of war war again,t Spain. I This the people have been clamoring for, yet the same clamorers for war S are not satisfied with the message. S The latter is couchei in language V too polite to suit them, and the ink I with which II was written is not of b sufficiently carmiue hue. S, If Congress and the President e would only turn the Cuban question tl over to few swell head democratic p politicians of Prescott the question el would be settled instantly. The tC has found nineteen O put of twenty citizens, cDnversed p with on the Cuban question, demo ci ,rats and republicans alike, to be ol opposed to the Cuban independence su resolution of the Senate. The Los Angeles Times contains 'i he following pertinent remarks: m The war party must not forget that o' I war comes there is going 70 be '" ise in prices that will make many a oi can and hungry pocket took ache ln O meet the emergency. Already n here is marked advance in the VI .ost of maDy staples, and the fight le ng has not commenced vet. This VI hing of war is not all beer and Ol kittles, as many a rabid howler for su var who never saw the animal VI how his teeth will find out to his to orrow" oii Senator Allen, of Nebraska, tried s- O make little cheap notoriety for limself in s speech recently. iu which be referred 70 the visit of the representatives Of the six gftat pow o' ITS Dn the Presideu' o1 April :. md i' ba avcbanUa of pr+r- -r, .L- ris u
