pity and even the admiration of men and
women, but it is question whether such a
man ever thoroughly gains their respect.
The man whose arteries bound with the
rich, red blood of health carries with him q
force and an intensity that command re-
spect, even though he be slightly inferior
mentally to the weak, nervous man. While
no medicine in the world will add an inch
to a mans stature, there is one famous
medicine that will fill the veins and arte-
ries with the rich, red, bounding blood of
perfect health. 1t Is Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery. 1t is the great blood
maker and blood purifier. When the blood
Is pure and rich and red and plenty, and
filed with the life giving elements that
nourish every tissue of the body, II is i'm
possible for a man to suffer from ill-health
of any description. When every little
b1ood-vessel in the lungs quivers with the
rush of healthy blood, it Is impossible to
have unhealthy lungs. When the walls of
the stomach are nourished with healthy
blood, dyspepsia and indigestion are i'm.
possibilities. When the liver is supplied
with healthy blood it is bound to be active.
The skin that is nourished with healthy
blood will be clear and fresh and glow with
health. Discovery is sold by druggists.

Without a formal declaration from
either side. q state OF war now cxistn
between Spain and the United States.
4 II was .prerlpitated yesterday morning
by the Spanish governmental handing
the United States minister hls passports
before he had an opportunity of deliver
Ing the ultimatum forwarded by the
President the day previous. The action
of this government was prompt. AZ
ready the movement OF the North At
iantic equadron has been made to estab-
fish a blockade Of Havana, and the pro-
sramme of naval and military opera
lions decided upon at Washington has
been tnausurated all along the line.
The Spanish squadron, as formidable
) as 1t ie. cannot reach Cuban waters, nor
1 Porto Rico. in time to prevent the block
ade. It has Yet to cross the Atlantic
ocean from Cape Verde and It's progress
will necessarily be slow. Before II can
arrive the United States forces will be
masters OF the situation. The condi-
lions are such that it Is impossible to
\ forecast how soon hUstitties will begin

or what their; character will be. So far
as this country Is concerned. tits pre-
pared for q war OF a short. sharp. and
decisive character. History will be made
very rapidly for the next few days.
4 It's unnecessary here to review all
the phases of the situation. They are
4 contained in the dispatches. Sufficient
ITO say that undoubtedly the action OF
this government has been prompt and
s satisfactory to the people. They have
every confidence, we believe, In the
/ power OF the United States 10 do what It
has setout to accomplish within as brief
time as possible. There Is no shortage
" Of men and money and patriotism. and
I. in the days that are 10 come the govern
II ment will find nothing lacking in the
way of support to the policy 1t has en-
tered upon. The conditions are such at
{ present that 1t is possible that Cuba may
be made free and Spain driven from the
western hemisphere with less sacriflce
on our part than it was at first supposed
would be required. There IS little doubt
Of the result.
The day OF reckoning for the Spanish
( power on this side OF the Atlantic seems
1 to have arrived, and in the unity OF this
country lies the strength which will ac-
complish that end. In the Developments
Of the future the great heart OF the
country and the prayers OF the Nation
will be with our brave boys who will be
at the front. and with the. directing
hands at the head OF the government
upon whom the responsibility for sue

Will Spain Fight?

AS a feature Of the situation as the
y hour approaches when tho United
states' fighting forces are to carry out
y the plans OF this government to free
4 Cuba, the attitude OF Spain, with respect
TO her naval and military preparations,
is somewhat puzzling. There is reason
4 70 be found in the situation for a. doubt
as to her real intention to fight, in spite
of her profession to the contrary.
The United States has already pro-
= ceeded % carry out the programme TO
blockade Cuba and yet spain's most for
h midable squadron has Just left Cape

ships are among the fastest In the Span.

{ not arrive in Cuba much within two
weeks.
To all intentsanI purposes. with the be-
{ ginning OF hossillties at almost any hour,
i Spain has continued 10 leave the ports Of
Cuba practically without the protection
OF a naval fleet. They are open for an
4 easy attack upon their Notifications. So
far as Spain Is concerned. up to this
time, and to all outside appearances,
there has ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS OF
+ a serious intention to defend Cuba. The
question arises. is Spain going TO fight
