SENIOR SAGASTA TALKS.
ish Pre- mler In the Course Of
an Interview.


Madrid, Aug. 2S.-Senor Sagasta, the
premier, is quoted as having, in the
course of an interview, made some inn
portant statements, declaring that it
was the governments intention to re-
press the discussion OF war topics in
.he cortes. lie said that as soon as the
cortes met the government would sub
init bill authorizing peace negotia-
tions, and next measure relating to
;he suspension OF the constitutional
guarantees
Although S.nor Sagasta did not
state the nature Of this measure, it is
supposed that it will provide for the
continuation OF the suspension.
Entirely Lacking In MsterIai Necessary
for Discussion.
"The government" said the premier,
twill not discuss in any form the ques-
tions OF peace and war. Indeed, the
deputies would be entirely lacking in
the material necessary for discussion.
The debate could not be based on con-
crete, positive facts, founded on undis-
puted documents, since the necessary
information has not yet arrived. be-
lieye that no discussion OF the surrender
OF Santiago and Manila will occur nor
Of the destruction of the Spanish feet,
unless trustworthy data and exact
proofs are at hand.
No Discussion is Permissible.
Moreover no discussion is permis-
sible Of matters at present under con.
sideration Of the supreme councils OF
war and marine
Mistakes or blunders may have been
committed but thus far we have not
sufficient material to Judge.
Why Questions OF Peace and War Should
Not he Discussed.
"Anothcr reason why questions OF
peace and war should not be discussed
is that diplomatic negotiations are now
| being carried on, and debate on these
subjects might be provocative Of unde,
sirable complications. 1t must not be
said that peace is signed and discussion
is now allowable Peace is not signed.
Spain is still at war with the United
States. The two nations have merely
concluded suspension of hostilities in
order to negotiate peace. These ne
gotiations may be brought to sue
cessful issue, but 1t might happen that
hostitities will be recommended.
That is why think the cortes will
only be able to discuss strictly neces
sary questions-that is, to make itself
acquainted with the situation of the
interests now at stake, which are SC
important for the nation, but not to
engage in debate, which would assum
soma such proportions as to infringe
upon the discretion which the gravity
of the circumstance requires of til,
cortcs.
| Would Accede to the Request.
"Should they ask to have presentcc
the documents concerning the sur
render of Santiago and Manila and tn,
destruction of the fleet now in the gov
ernment's possession, the governmtn
would accede to the request. Thes,
papers are in the hands of the suprem,
councils which alone, before the proc
lamation of peace, can conduct in
qulrics and establish responsibilities
The inquiries may result in acquittal
or severe sentences, even tho capita
penalty"

Plant Shade Trees.

The season has come to plant trees,
ornamental, shade or fruit. anything
indeed that will add to shade, COM
fort and food. Most men think be-
cause they do not own land or lots,
that it is folly for them to 60 to the
expense and bother Of planting trees
on other mems land. This is a mar
row, selfish and contracted view.
Excuse the egotism, but for forty
years we have never owned a foot Of
land or lot and yet in these forty
years we have planted thousands Of
trees on the streets of cities, on Ugh
ways, around churches, and we can
hardly 90 in any direction that we
are not greeted by trees that owe
their existence to our planting and
we take positive pleasure in see
ing this work of our hands, and far
more pleasure in it than if we had
spent just so much money in some
selfish indulgence that would have
persisted in the using. A person
who has no taste for this kind Of
esthetical enjoyment is deprived Of
great pleasure and satifaction. The
experience of lifetime no longer
young is due to the fact that nothing
in life brings more satifaction as it
approaches it's end, than the little
time, labor and expense bestowed on
the planting Of trees.-Lexington
Gazette.

Sermon to the Vance Guards.

The Methodist Episcopal church
had one of the largest congregations
Sunday morning ever seen there. 1t
was filled to its utmost seating ca
pacity and after chairs had been
brought in and the aisles toward the
rear we'll crowded many persons were
still unable to find seats. The event
of special interest was the stated
sermon to the Vance Guards by Pas
tor McCullen, chaplain to the Com
pany.
Mr.. McCullen preached from the
text found in the 18th verse Of the 9th
chapter of Paul's first epistle to Tim
othy: Fight the good fight of faith,
lay hold on eternal life, whereunto
thou art called. and hast protested a
good profession before many wit
nesses." 1t was one OF his best SER
mons and had it been delivered out
side of the sacred edifice of God s
temple his remarks would have been
punctuated throughout by frequent
and enthusiastic applause.
AS BETTING the time and the oc-
casion warfare among nations. with
special reference to the present sit
uation in Cuba and the impending
crisis between the United States and
Spain, was made the basis of his pre-
liminary remarks. Drawing a COM
parison between the oath of allie
glance to ones country and the duty
of all patriotic and liberty Loving
people in time of war with foreign
enemy the minister dwelt at length
upon another kind of warfare-the
warfare against sin-and begged his
hearers to enlist in the Army of the
Lord and under the banner and lead
ership Of the Great Captain to fight
the good fight of faith and march on
to victory and life eternal.
We cannot follow Mr.. McCullen all
through his very excellent sermon.
1t was a strong and forceful dis
course, original in thought, beautiful
in conception, pleasing in delivery
and ELECTED many warm words OF
praise from those who heard it.
The company turned out in full
force under command of Capt. Jones
and Lieutenants Smith and Poythress,
and in their bright new uniforms
made handsome appearance.

BLADDER TROUBLES.

The bladder was created for one pur-
pose, namely, a receptacle for the urine.
and as such it is notl liable to any form of
disease except by one of two ways. The
first way from imperfect ct action OF the
kidneys. The second way is from careless
local treatment Of other diseases.
