way to show their interest in the welfare
of their adopted country, they have de-
cided that there would be no more fit

a flag TO one of the regiments. Having
made un their minds to do this, the maxi
ing of a banner was a matter of absolute
necessity. for they found that an order
for the national colors could not be filled
within three months, owing to the great
demand for them since the beginning OF
the war. The flag will probably be pre-
sented to the Twenty-second Regiment.

overlooked by mothers of today:

Tim Hurst's $500 Waiting to BE

Tim Hurst has such an exalted opinion
of his st. Louis Browns that he has
posted $3.50 that they will beat out the

characteristic style: Your bluffing is all

great playing of the Washingtons during
the series with the Browns has pulled
Tins confidence down a peg or two. and
the next time he comes here he had better
have his boys drink plenty of Heurich's s
Maerzen Beer If he wishes them to cope
with the Washingtons. Heurich's will
be the only guarantee of possible chance
of capturing a game. His stake of $500
can be better invested in Heurich's, and

And we remark that therein lies the
danger, for apart from any moral ques-
ton involved, the party that attempts 10

verses. and when the other faction gets

that the present election law is in retalia-

repeat itself in exaggerated form. And

that the article in The Times was

policy and views that paper has hereto
fore most steadily placed itself in oppo-
sition TO him"
We hope that while pleasing to Mr.
Hays friends, The Times words Of COM
mendation were not in the nature OF a
surprise. 1t Is the great ambition OF this
paper to deal fairly with all men-with
opponents as well as with those who
agree with US. We despise a narrow,
bigoted partisanry that can see nothing
but evil In an opponent and that never
gives him credit for the good that he
does. The newspaper that cannot be
fair has no business to live.

SATURDAY. MARCH &C, 1895


The report Of the Board OF Inquiry into
the Maine disaster had been so complete
" foreshadowed. that the public were
well prepared for the verdict. There Is
no surprise and no shock. The finding is
that the explosion was from the outside.
but the Board does not fix the response

As was also expected, the Spanish
Board Of Inquiry declares that the explo-
sion was internal, and so the matter
stands.
Were this the only issue between the
United States and Spain. there would be
not the slightest difficulty in arriving at
q settlement without the thought OF q
resort to arms. The Spanish government
has long since disavowed responsibility
for the disaster and our own Court Of
Inquiry does not charge or intimate that
the destruction Of the Maine was in any
sense an official act Of the Spanish gov
eminent. Under ordinary circumstances
therefore. to attempt to mako this casus
belli were absurd.
But unfortunately the trouble between
the two nations is as broad as the island
Of Cuba, and as deep as American SYM
patty with a distressed and a down
trodden people. The Maine disaster IS a
mere incident. but in the present temper
OF the American people. and the Spanish
people, we fear that the finding Of the
Board OF Inquiry will add fuel TO the
flames and intensity the feeling, already
at fever heat. The general public do not
deal in technicalities and are not dis
