WHAT THEY SAY.

] The United States has as higt
 respect for the Pope as any other
 nation-more real regard for hi, ] goodness than has Spain - but tn,

 Pope to mediate in behalf of Spain
 in such an issue as the present one
 Denver Republican.
 If anTthing could have brought
 out a favorable response from any oi
 the European courts it would have
 been the rather pathetic appeal oI
 the Austrian princess. who holds the
 Spanish crown in trust. In sending
 this circular letter to the sovereigns
 of Europe, the Queen Regent played
 her trump eard-and lost If the
 unanimous refusal of the other
 powers to intervene came as a sur
 prise to Queen Christina it was such to the rest ol the world. It was q foregone conclusion that there would be no interference by the other powers. The Spanish crisis is not .heir affair.-Chicago Tribune.
 It seems to be generally supposed that Great Britain is the only nation
 which is accustomed to resent
 promptly, and, if need be, with merciless vengeance, insults to the nation and injuries to individual subjects abroad, but thls is a mis- take. On the contrary, the reported policy of Germany in the Cannamsbs case is iu accordance with the gen eral policy of all great and self respecting powers. About a year ago a case somewhat similar 10 this one in Cuba arose in Morocco. There was no hesitation. The au- thorities at Berlin acted so pro nptly and so efficiently that the case was over almost at the first tap of the drum. All Europe has stood amazed at our American policy.-Chicago Inter-Ocean.
 It was a mine that destroyed the Maine. The board of inquiry has found that to be the fact. For any mine in any harbor the government controlling that harbor is responsi- ble. 4 mine is not the product of private enterprise. It must be con- structed by military or naval experts. It can be laid only under govern mental auspices and by govern mental aid. It can be fired only by connivance. or at least as a result of governmental negli- l gence. The government of Spain is inescapably responsible for the de- of the Maine by a mine in l Havana harbor. What are we going 10 do about it!-New York World. !
 To postpone the question of peace 1 n Cuba another month is absolutely | even if it were accom- panied by a guarantee that inde oendence would then be acknowl- 'dged and the Spanish army with lrawn. It is too late for promises ,r future guarantees. Spain may make the best bargain she can, but ut of Cuba she must go, and go at 'ne.-Chicago Times Herald.

 very feeling manner, the terrible

 says that Americans will not stand

 Washington, April 1I.-Alluding to the new move on the part of the Spanish authorities to cease hos tilities in Cuba, the President says: l "If this succeeds our aspirations as peace loving people will be real ized. If it fails, it will be another justification for our contemplated action"
 Washington, April ll.-2 p. m.- The feeling here this afternoon is that nothing can avert war. Tele- grams from Madrid this morning were 10 the effect that the Spanish populace was very much aroused over the situation, and the general expression of opinion now is that Madrid IS much hotter than ever over the Presidents message. The irst blow in the war will probably be struck before the week ends.

POULTRY HOUSE PLAN.
Structure Large Enough for Forty
Hens, Conveniently Arranged
But Not Extravagant.

A substantial and convenient house
Tor 40 hens can be built as follows:
1t should be II feet wide by "a feet
long, and six feet rear by eight feet
front, inside measure. The silIs should
be four by skies, resting on wooden,
brick or stone piers. The frames
should consist of, sides, two by four
scantling placed for lathing, a 12-foot
stick for rear and a 16-foot stick for
front, which cut in two exactly without
waste. Roof rafters two by skies Il feet
long, allowing for overhang roof, front
and rear. The siding should be-frst,
hemlock boards nailed on studding,
then builders paper on them, then Sec
ond-quality novelty siding outside of
all. The entire inside should be either
lath and plaster or ceiled, the former
the cheaper. This will give a dead-air
space of four inches in sides and six
inches on roof. As for roofing, the
standard roofing viii be found the best.
1t is more durable and more weather.
tight than shingles, and decidedly
cheaper.
Nail hemlock boards closely together
on roof rafters and cover with three-ply
felt. Coat this with two coats of roof
tar. On the last coat sprinkle veil with
coarse. black sand. This will set the tar
and keep it from running in warm
weather.
