Spirit Of tbc age,
Woodstock. w., April l6, 1898.
BY EDWARD {. dana.

President Harper of the Univer-
sity of Chicago speaks strongly and
wisely OF the present crisis when he
SAYS: 81 believe that war with
Spain for single year would retard
the advance of civilization toward
higher level fully twenty-five years.

A few of the ST cklv, stereotyped
endorsements of Col. Smiths cam
didacy for the governorship arrived
little late, but they we've fullsome
and fervent enough to make up for
their hardness. They showed, too,
that the various editorial minds in
volved We're not thrown off their
balance by the Spanish crisis and
impending war, and that Col. Smiths
interests and their own welfare are
first considered above any foreign
complications. The affair seems
to have been nicely arranged and
the governorship business disposed
of in good season. Ratification will
set in early in une.
Violent speeches in Congress do
no good, and those who make them
would as a rule be the last to go to
the front, says the Salt Lake Tribune.
This reminds the Springfield Re-
publican of suggestion recently
made by veteran of the late war.
He startled his hearers by saying
that if he were permitted to write a
three-linc law into the federal statute
books he would undertake to drive
the war fever out of the country TOR
all time to come. The law would
run something as follows: Volun-
tary enlistments in the military and
naval service of the United States
are hereby prohibited. acquisitions
for the service shall be apportioned
among the states according to popu-
latlon of military age, and the en-
rolmcnt shall proceed by lot.

F Three Cubans were killed and cne Spanish officer and two Cubaos wounded ast night in an affray between some Spanish officers off duty acd a number Of citizens and a party of Gcbaos who wished to close the Tacon theater on accouot ot the death of Gen.

 gent troops, got into an excited ar gument with the manager of the theater and AlIegrette was escorted to the sidewalk by the police.
 There Ailegrette entered into 9 heated discussion with a Spanish officer, who struck him across the face with the flat of his sword. Theu there was collision between the Cubans and the panish military men; more blows were struck on both sides and people from the cafes and parks cneerad for Spain aud brought crowds of people to tie spot from a6Jacent streets and squares
