THE MORNING NEWS: SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 20, $685.

Work on the new battleships Kearsage
and kentucky IS now so well advanced
that their launching has been fixed for
March q. 1t is the opinion OF experts
that these will be the most powerful ships
OF our navy, and quite capable Of com
peting with anything of the kind in the
world. Each will carry four 13-inch and
four S-ineh guns besides powerful broad
side batteries. They viii be nearer COM
pletion when launched than any other
ships which the government has had
turned out. The contract calls for them
TO be turned over to the government on
Jan. 1 next, but in case Of emergency
they could be gotten ready in a shorter
time. Armor for their sides is already on
the ground. and the work of putting 1t
on will be pushed as soon as they are
launched.

From the New York Times Dem).

Before a tribunal of law Spain would
doubtless be held legally and morally re-
sponsible if it should be proved that the
Maine was destroyed by any government
appliance in the hands of a Spanish Off
GER even though he were acting without
authorization: she would be held to the
payment of an indemnity if the act were
perpetrated by a private miscreant, were
he loyal Spanlard or Cuban rebel; and
she would be held free of all blame If
the Maine were shown to have been de-
stroyed by an accident on board

The chaplain of the Illinois House of
Representatives prayed the other day that
trouble and bloodshed might be avoided !:
but that if it must come, that the United
States would quickly wipe Spain off the
map. He designated Spain as "barbarous
and bloodthirsty nation" He is on a foot

States Senate not long ago, besought the

Peter Waterloo Of Pittsburg, Pa, is a
brave man. He formerly lived in New
Jersey, where he left wife when he went
10 Pittsburg. He found life in the smoky
City rather dun, so he took him a wife
there. The other day ne wrote to New
Jersey for wife No. l to come to him. She
arrived on time lie met her at the de-
pot and took her to the home of No. 2.
"My dear" said he to No. O. this is
Mrs Waterloo, whom 1 married before I
came here; and this said he to No. 1,
lis Mrs. Waterloo, whom I married In
this city; hope you will be friends" But
they were not friends; and Mr.. Waterloo
IS now in jail for blgamy, despite his hrav-
cry, or nerve.

A contemporary obliges an eager public
with the correct pronunciation of the
name of the Spanish warship. lately at
New York, and its meaning. Vizcaya is
pronounced as if it were spelled "Vceth-
ky-yah," and means Biscay, the name of
the province fronting on the Bay of Bis
cay.

The Cotton production.
From the Philadelphia Record Dem).

In the course of time the large Southern
plantations will doubtless be broken up
and sub-divided among small planters
who will be likely TO grow a greater va
riety of crops, aud produce at home the
provision supplies which now come from
the West. Cotton win then no longer be
the main dependence, and production will
be more likely TO keep pace with the de-
mand. But it viii be impossible ever to
successfully establish artificial restraints
on the production of cotton.

THE STRATEGY BOARD.

The Board met this a. M, all
being present.
The boy was on hand and asked
to be re-instated as the doctor
would not let him pass, when he
was examined for the Harris Light
Guard company.
The doctor said he thought the
boy should retire while they voted
upon his application as something
might be said complimentary Of
him that would make him blush.
The boy objected to this and said
be was not going to turn his back
on anyone, even a friend when he
had in an application for place,
and if there we're any boquets to be
thrown at him, he wanted to be
there to get them, and
|. if the reverse, he wanted to face
the~one who could bring aught
against his fair name.
The dry goods man said the boy
talked like philosopher and he would
vote too take him back.
The lumberman said the boy
suited him veey well, only he was
too fresh, but he thought it would
wear off in time. To which the
doctor added "yes-in a deYilish
long time.
The boy was reinstated and he
was ordered to clean up the office,
feed the feas and borrow some ink
and pen points and get paper for
the desk.
The board then went into a dis
cussion as to what they would do
with the Santiago prisoners when
they captured the town.
The doctor SAID he thought theY
all should be branded, have their
ears cropped off and sent back to
Spain with a card Of promise in
their pocket that if caught
on any island in the Western Hemi-
sphere again, they would either be
killed or banished for life on the
New Boston prairie.
This the two other members
agreed to, and there being no fur
thhr business for the day the board
adjourned to attend a badger fight
in Swampoodle.

Start the national thirst for do
main and imperialism is an accom-
plished result. Make the American
freeman believe he is invincible in
battle and he will seek an object
and opportunity to test his Anglo
Saxon courage. The spirit of con
quest Is foreign to the aims of this
government. 1t is antagonistic to
the principle of sovereignty in the
individual Might is not right.
Power armed will provoke hostility.
The dawning spirit of imperialism
means interminable wars, and the
eventual overthrow of self-govern-
ment. Diffusion should not be en-
couraged. 1t is dangerous. 1t will
prove destructive.

A great feeling of expectancy
and suspense has invaded the pub
lie mind within the past two days
relative to the situation at Santi-
ago. The evident desire of the
Spanish to surrender on terms only
favorable to themselves, the prompt
rejection of such proffer by General
Shafter; the preparation to escape
by the Spanish army and of a Wig
orous assault by the Americans, all
indicate that a crisis has been
reached in the fate of Santiago.

On small farms success depends,
to a great extent, on the small and
apparently insignificant branches,
such as poultry raising, bee culture,
growing of medicinal herbs, and
specialties in fruits and vegetables,
A German farmer sold one year
more than $50 worth of dried sage
leayes. Such things as these are
usually looked upon with contempt
by our staple farmers with expan-
sive ideas which rarely materialize.
Others who admit the utility OF the
minor industries. will confidently af-
firm that they have no time for
such things; that corn, cotton and
potatoes require all their time and
labor. Of course if a man devotes
all his time to one or two crops he
has no time left for anything else,
and there is nobody to blame for
this condition but himself.

There is more Cataarh in this sec
tiou of the country than all other
diseases put together, and until the
last few years was supposed to be
incurable. For a great many years
doctors pronounced it a local dis
ease, and prescribed local remedies,
and by constantly failing to cure
with local treatment, pronounced it
incurable. Science has proven ca
taarh to be a constitutional disease,
and therefore requires constitution
al treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure,
