THE CUB IN SITUATION.

Senator Mark Hanna, OF Ohio,
last Monday had his message com
municsted to Congress, in which he
set forth certain grievances against
Spain. which he attempted to palli-
ate. He asked that Congress VIC
late the constitution by delegating
TO him the power to make war in
Cuba against the Cuban patriots or
Spanish troops-which ever he
thought best after getting U. 5
troops landed in Cuba-and prose
cute the war against each or both
until he had conquered a peace.
The me ssage was so distasteful to
the patriotic Senators and Repre-
sentatives, both Republicans and
Democrats, that the stalwart con-
temporary of Hanna in the Senate,
ex-Gov. Foraker expressed the gen.
eral disgust when he said 'D-n
the message.
OF course it went through the
usual form of reference of such mat
tiers to the committee on foreign
affairs, but the indignation could
not be suppressed.
On Tuesday il was discussed in
each branch Of Congress, and on
Wednesday the committees of both
houses reported resolutions in favor
OF securing the Independence of
Cuba, and directing the use of the
army and navy of the United States
to secure this end. The resolution
was adopted in the House that af-
ternoon by the decisive vote of 1872
to 10. The Senate listened to some
eloquent speeches in favor of free
Cuba. Senator Foraker leading
them, but the debate had not con-
cluded when the Senate adjourned
for the day. Probably yesterday
the House resolution was substitu-
ted for the Senate one and adopted
by that body.
Of course this means war, and
the government so understands it,
and is pushing every means to carry
it on vigorously. In this it should
have the earnest and active sup
port Of every American citizen,
without regard to the cowardly
course of Senator Hanna, and a
few other dollar worshippers, in the
unnecessarily long drawn out ne
eotiations with the lying Preacher
Gus government Of Spain. These
men who put money above patriot
ism, and gold above the honor Of
our murdered sailors on the battle
ship Maine, and would for sordic
reasons disgrace our flag in thu
eyes Of the nations Of the earth, anc
destroy our national power, shoulc
be taught that the common people
have more respectfor humanity anc
liberty than they.
The flying squadron has beer
ordered to intercept the Spanish
hotilla now on the way to Cuba
and capture or sink il, and this vii
likely be the greatest naval BATH
occurring in many years past, am
the result will be watched for witt
intense suspense by the civilize'
world. News of the conflict ma
reach us at any time after to-ror
row. God grant our gallant sailor
victory, and that the murder {
their Maine comrades may b
avenged.
Troops are being hurried to tn
sea coast daily, and probably ne,
week q number OF regiments will b
embarked for Cuba, and with tn
aid thus given the Cuban patriot
the Spanish should be driven fror
the island before the sickly seaso
begins in June. They can then b
withdrawn to the U. 8. or quartere
in the billy aud healthy portions {
the island.

PROFIT IN SHEEP.
Farmers Should Easily Make from "a
to so Per Cent. Annually from
Mutton Breeds.

A shepherd can make from IS per
cent. to 5oper cent. on his investment IN
mutton sheep, according to his skill. A
good breeding eve can produce enough
wool to pay for keeping her. A eve
can be kept in thrifty condition, being
fed such coarse folders as straw, clover
hay and corn fodder, with one-half
pound of grain daily when she requires
it, at q cost of one cent per day, during
the period Of most expensive feeding.
To pay for her keep she needs to pro-
duce no more than ten pounds of good
wool, and that a mutton eve can do.
In addition to the wool the returns
from eve will be at least one lamb
the average of the mutton breeds is
nearer one and one-half. From the
fncts derived from our experimental
work it is safe to say that, charging
foods at market prices, mutton can be
put on the market on foot for at least
three cents per pound. Such mutton
as can be furnished at that cost will sell
for six cents, and the sheep should
weigh $50 pounds. Here is profit of
$3.50 from a sheep under the most mod
frate circumstances. I have known
ewes Of mutton breeding to produce
each year clear profit of ten to fifteen
dollars.-Western Plowman.
