The newspapers are taking up A.
A. Godard's boom for attorney gen.
eral and it is probable that he will
become a candidate. Mr.. GODDARD was
assistant attorney general during the
Morrill, administration and made a
good record. He is clean, gentle
manly, courteous and able. Should
he be nominated Mr.. GODDARD would
honor the ticket and his election would
mean that the affairs Of the office
would be administered with justice
and ability.

Coward gold" is not proving so
much a coward as has been claimed
BY the silver men. Nearly nine mil
lion dollars in gold was forwarded
from Europe to New York last week
in the midst OF the exciting war rum
ors, and the total amount Of gold
coming to the United States during
the past six months amounts to over
$4S, 1000, 900, a sum which it is claimed
breaks the record for any period Of
that length and all Of it a period Of
constant war rumors.

The message Of President Mckinley
relating to the Cuban question is one
OF the clearest and strongest state
papers that has ever gone to the leg
islative branch Of the government. 1t
is marked by a plain, practical com
mon sense, a directness OF statement
and grasp Of the situation that will
commend itself to the American peo-
pie and will place Mr.. Mckinley still
higher in the esteem Of his fellow
citizens. The whole world must and
will now recognize that II the United
States takes up war measures, it will
be because it has exhausted every
other resource in an effort to secure
pacifcation on the island OF Cuba.
That peace must come and immed-
lately is settled. The attitude Of
congress, the strong message Of Pres
ident Mckinley and the general feel
ing Of the American people make no
other course possible. II Spain will
back down and 60 back on the reser-
walton like a good Indian, fighting
will not be necessary. II not, the
disparity between the strength Of
Spain and the United States in wealth
and war resources indicates that the
conflict will be short and decisive. II
war Is declared month ought to set
tie it. As this nation has been "slow
to anger" 1t will be swift in action
and the Dons will be sorry that
they attempted any familiarities with
Uncle Sam. For once Spain has met
nation it can neither scare nor
bully. The present situation means
SPANS defeat.
