Among the instructions given the
peace commissioners who will
leaye for Paris Saturday, is a sound
one relating to the assumption of
the Cuban debt. They are instruct
ed to in no way become responsible
for said debt; that the debt was
contracted by Spain in her fights
with the Cubans, and therefore we,
or this war, had nothing to do with
it; that by examples of previous
wars we are entitled to $270, 900, 900
spent in the prosecution of the re-
cent war, but we are not demand
ing it, 1t seems that the Spaniards
are trying to take advantage of our
liberality and make us give them
the earth; they seem to think and
act as if they we're the victors in
stead of we. The United States is
generous, even to a fault, but will
not submit to any such proposal as
the assumption of the Cuban debt,
as much as it desires peace.

Mind is the power of men. Homer
wrote a poem whose rythm still
beats upon the shores of time, but
the sea now washes a desolate
beach where Troy once stood.
Plato gave shape to thoughts that
live while Athens has long since
decayed. Creation of mind survive
while temples and monuments
crumble into ruin. The system of
mathematical order which Newton
formed from a few abstract lines
and numbers will remain even
though the earth should pass and
the stars be seen no more. Mind
is the glory of man. How foolish
to neglect it; how sad is ignorance.

Youngest son, who was drowned last
Sunday while trying to rescue a

To Dig Nicarguan Canal.

The war with Spain has demon
strated the Importance of a short
route between the Atlantic and
Pacific oceans, BY digging a canal
few miles long at the Isthmus of

ships must go around South America
