better than to fall in,line behind the leadership which to the present time has been sagacious, patriotic, dignifed and alert. The statesmanship of the world has indorsed and applauded it. Patriotism and humanity are its insplr- ation and it's guide. It is not seeking to make war, but to restore peace to devastated island and maintain it in our own land. It is still possible to do this even under such strong resolutions as the House has adopted, but there is no hope of peaceful settlement if the Senate Foreign Relations Committee is to have it's way. Its resolution makes it incumbent upon Spain to fight, whether willing to get out of Cuba or not. The best way is for both houses to agree to follow President McKin- ley's suggestion.

THE sr4Rr1NG OF WARS.

Wars and rumors of war in this coun- try have originated in various ways
 usually owing to an overt act obnoxious to the nation repellant to it's sense of honor and initiating against it's dig nifty. As a rule, however, wars have not been inaugurated by formal and official declaration from one or both hostile nations. Usually wars start owing to some overt belligerent act on the part of one of the na- tions, such as firing upon ship, as- sailing a fort or penetrating and pass ing boundary lines with an armed force. The British lion very recently, for example, gave warning growl to France, French military force in the East having crossed a boundary into British territory, inadvertently as it proved None of the wars or war-like outbreaks in which the United States has been engaged was preceded by formal and official declaration of war except, possibly, the war of 1872, which was declared by Congress, though vio- lent assault had been made by the British before the issuing of the dec- laration. Our revolutionary war, as says the Kansas City Journal in an extended article on the subject, broke out long before the Declaration of h. dependence and before any organized steps had been taken by the Congress of the Colonies. 1t was precipitated by the attempt of 5000 British soldiers stationed in Boston to enforce obnox- ious and oppressive British orders, and the resistance of this tyrannical pro- ceeding which brought on the fights at Concord and Lexington. It was in April, 1775 that the fighting blood of the colonies forced the fighting. A month later Congress assembled and took steps to organize the American forces and made Washington com mander. The battle of Bunker Hill was the next great event and it was pot untu after full year of fighting

that the Declaration of Independence was issued. There was no telegraph, however, in those days to help expedite matters. The declaration of the 1872 war was brought on by continued med ding and warning upon our commer- cial navy by British ships under the guise of preventing us from trading with France, her enemy. These acts and the blockading of American ports, the capturing and Imprisonment of American sailors, the firing upon the Chesapeake, were overt acts precedent to the declaration of war by this coun- try. All our protests which followed were ignored, things went from bad to worse and then came the declaration of war by Congress and the consequent proclamation of the same by President Madison. The Mexican war was pre- ceded by the invasion of Mexican ter ritory with an armed force by General Taylor by order of President Polk.
 This was, therefore, a war practically declared by the President without con- sultation with Congress. This act of the President caused a heated discus sion, as it was held by many that he l had exercised "despotic" power. Gen. eral Jackson came near involving this country in a war with Spain and | England in 1S17-1S by making a sin1i | lar invasion upon Spanish soil in
 Florida and this country was obliged
 to officially disown his acts. General
 Jackson captured Pensacola, deposed
 the Spanish governor and executed two
 British subjects whom he had suspect
 ed of being instigators of Indian depre | dations. The upshot of the matter was
 that we purchased Florida and Jackson
 became hero.
 Our civil war began with Lincolns S l taking time by the forelock without
 waiting for Congress, the emergency being pressing, and he called our army
 into the field, blockaded Southern ports suspended the privilege of habeas
 corpus and in other ways exercised
 powers that were not supposed to rest
 with the constitutional executive; but all his acts were subsequently, ratified
 by Congress.

presents was not chosen with special idea of clinching the question. Rather, it was taken, as are other sketches for this column, for the purpose of pre- senting most effectively something at tractively novel. It's skirt of almond green cashmere opened over a tablier of the same goods, which was framed with two bias folds and displayed a number of ornamental buttons. The bodice had a girdle of the same cash mere, but the vest was of liberty silk in the same shade of green. This was arranged in deep gathers starting from the center of front and back. It op- ened over a chemisette of tucked white silk, the same white silk giving the revers. Green silk sleeves showed a new trimming in the shape of deep pleated cuffs of white silk.
 Parasols of plaid ribbon, of Roman striped silk, of frilled chiffon, of lace, of net (and these are the latesD tempt the eye, though August is far away. The net ones are finished with stiff lit tie frills at the edge, and the frills are elaborated with baby ribbon. White net over pink baby ribobn conjures up the vision of white dress over pink, pink embroidered stockings, white shoes white gloves, a bunch of pink roses at the belt, pink throat showing pink bushes that the frills vainly hide from the lovely young man (not pink who leans to say pretty things in the pink, and-hOw much is the parasol? ?

READY.

Tn time of peace prepare for war;"
 is an old and true adage, which has
 been most happily exemplified by the
 course of President Mckinley in the
 trying and complicated situation in
 which the nation has found itself dur
 ing the last few months. The wisdom,
 foresight and excellent judgment of
 President Mckinley displayed in his
 efforts to procure peaceful and hon.
 orable solution of the Cuban question, if possible, and in holding back the
 country from an immediate and fool
 ish plunge into war, with no adequate
 preparation for conflict, have been of
 vast benefit to the nation. Had he yielded to the senseless clamor which
 has cut so prominent figure in the last few months and precipitated war, the country would have been engaged in a struggle badly handicapped by lack of preparation therefor. Now, if war comes, the country is in vastly
 better shape for it. as is apparent to
 all in view of what has been done in strengthening our seacoast defenses, adding to our fleet of vessels of war, providing munitions of war, and in
 short, doing in a few weeks a vast amount of very necessary work pre- paratory to fighting. From all ac- counts our country is now more than a match for Spain on the sea, which is where most of the fight ] ing will be done, if war comes, l while our great seaports are in much better state of defense than | they were. We have but small stand | ing army,-a mere handful compared | to the standing armies of Europe-but
 we have an efficient supplementary re- source in the National Guard, should l their services be needed. Tn first-class | battleships we far outdo Spain's equip l ment in that line. We have the Indi- ana, Massachusetts and Iowa, pitted l against Spain's solitary PeIayo. On l the other hand, Spain is decidedly ahead of us as regards fine and pow erful armored cruisers, she having eight of these, against our New York and Brooklyn, the only two we have in this class. Taking all the armored craft together, however, we are the l most likely to win in a general sea l fight. Our protected cruisers far out
 number those of Spain. In unarmored l cruisers and gunboats we are also far | ahead, and we have made great and l important gains of late in the addition | to our navy of armed yachts, tugs and l merchant liners. Spain outdoes us in torpedo crafts, but many of these | smaller crafts are absolutely unfit for a | tempestuous ocean voyage, and our re- l cent acquisitions in that line are impor- l tant and put us on an equality in this respect. In times of peace our navy | ranked ahead of Spains, and with the | new boats of various classes added of l late, we need have no fear of Spain.
