Yet again We hope to meet thee,
When the day of life is fed,
Then in heaven with Joy to greet thee,
Where no farewell tear is shed.

Not A linlidny Encursinn.

In the first fervOr of patriotic en-
thusiasm over the prospect Of war
with a foreign foe we are apt to CON
slider the job we have undertaken of
thrashing spain as sort of before
breakfast matter that will he soon
disposed Of But a little serious re-
Election will force the conclusion that
we have very considerable task be-
fore US.
1t would be easy enough, of course,
if Spain should sail her whole fleet
over into Cuban waters, and give us a
chance to eat it at one bite.
But suppose she doesn't?
Suppose she takes it into her head
that Cuba is lost to her anyway and
turns her attention to marrying our
coast line? Or suppose she contents
herself with running down our com
merce on the high seas, and compels
us to send our ships and troops across
the Atlantic, forcing the fighting in
her own waters instead of in ours?
1t occurs to US that one or both of
these things is exactly what she will
do. And either such plan would
keep u guessing long time.
Two thousand miles OF sea coast ia a
long line to guard particularly when
not more than an hours warning
can be given of the point where the
attack is threatened. And three
thousand miles is long "trip to make
with no friendly harbor and no coal
ing station at the end Off. England
found that out in l77G and in 1872.
We may have q chance TO find it out
now.
Nobody doubts Of course. what the
final outcome will be. The immeas-
urable resources of America, in men
and money and patriotism, will win.
But we would do well to make up our
minds that the end is not in sight. 1t
cannot he expected that Spain will
commit the absurd blunder of stalking
everything on holding Cuba. 1t is
much more 10 be expected that she
will abandon that island without
striking serious blow, not sending
man or ship to strengthen the
force already there, but will carry on
purely defensive warfare, forcing
the United States to carry the war
into Spain, If she follows that plan
the man who predicted that the war
would be at its height in 1900 may not
| he far wrong.
