Secretary sherman,s Rstrement.

The resignation OF Secretary OF State
Sherman from the cabinet Is no surprise
to the country. It has, on the contrary,
been expected for some time. and was
predicted by those VINO were closest 10
him and had witnessed the falling
strength which comes with old age TO all
men after a life spent in the active SER
vice OF the country. Secretary Sher-
man Is scvcnty-hve years OF age, pas,
the three.score and ten, and while many
public men retain the vlgor OF their
minds and bodies to greater years, few
have ever led SO active a life, so con-
stantly employed by public duties as has
the great Ohio statesman. For a half
century he had been in political service
In various capacities, and for a greater
part OF that time has been one OF the
most prominent figures In the country.
A mind SO actively and constantly m
ployed for so long a time could not help
showing the wear and tear of the years.
Mr.. Sherman himself almost pathetical-
~ alludes to the fact Of his advanced
years as the cause OF his retirement
when he says: Il am now In my seventy
NTH year. n ! think a younger man
should be at the head OF the state de-
partment. especially In time OF war, and
am perfectly willing to yield my place
to a younger man" MI. Sherman de-
Mes that he is IN Ill health, and says
that there Is no unktnd feeling between
him and the President. am . as
strong as ] was some ~earsaso'"h he says,

II Spain's idea in holding her naval
fleet at Cape Verde is that the United
States fleets will so over there to fight
her. she will fine that such naval strate-
gy will avail her nothing. The United
States government has set out 10 stop
Spanish rule in Cuoa and has no inten-
ton oflinterfering with Spain on the
other side OF the Atlantic.
Spain practically abandoned the de-
tense OF Cuba, and II she hopes to here
after attack the United States forces
there. she viii learn to her sorrow that
she has come too late. Having establish
ed a base of operations in Cuba, the
United States fleet will be master OF the
situation. Prcying upon our commerce
will avail the Dons little. The issue will
be settled before they can do much dam

The Call for Volunteers,

The call OF President Mckinley for
1864 volunteers 10 cnl:ss for the war
may properly be said to have been all
ready responded TO. From every state
in the Union days ago had come offers
from many times more than the quota
that will be asked from each state, and
In a very Snort time the volunteer
branch of the service provided for in the
congressional act will be organized and
ready for the front. There has been an
eaeerncss 10 volunteer that is gratifying
10 the country, because it shows that
there will be no unnecessary delay In
the work of organization.
The National Guard will, OF course,
furnish the most of this volunteer force.
1t is made up of young men; for the
most. part, who will not 20 as raw re-
cruits. They are drilled in tactics and
discipline and ready for duty. More
than that. they are going of their own
free will as volunteers. inspired by a
patriotic desire TO serve their country,
and 10 assist In the work Of a war for
humanity. regardless OF the sacrifice,
the 1hardships, and all the terrors OF
war. Spain can muster no such. body OF
men, representing the intelligence. the
loyalty and the splendid manhood. OF
the country. nor can n power OF Eu-
rope excel IL In these respects.
This army, when added to the $4,000
mensto which the regular army Is to be
recruited and the nava! forces. will help
TO makeup the fighting force OF 200. 900
men{that will mar the ships and coast
defcnses. and invade Cuba to bring a
Cessation to Spanish brutality on this

methods and policies, there Is but n
thing to be considered, and that IS, that
the government will be enthusiastically
and periodically supported in the un-
d%crtaking II has assumed. II Is no time
to reason why now. The duty lies
straight ahead and Will be followed out,
on the lines laid down.
West Virginia will furnish her quota
quickly; there will not be a days delay.

Spain's Sly Conduct.

II is impossible to tell to a certainty
why, II Is that the Spanish fleet %contin.

different to the movements OF the
United States navy in Cuban waters.
There are theories, OF course, among
them the one that Spain is playing the
injured Innocence" act Tor the purpose
OF working or the sympathIes of the
y European powers. This would be In ac-
cordance with the nature of the Span
iards--it Is, in fact, the course that they
have been pursued all along, ever since
the destruction OF the Maine. What may
yhe accomplished with the powers by
these tactics remains to be seen. Ger
tainly It is that the alleged powerful

wonderful things 10 the United States

the United States dogs OF war are block

II Cuba should be surrendered to the
United States forces while the Spanish
fleet is lying more than thlrty-five hun
bred miles away. and inactive, 1t would
be interesting to note what the effect
wGuld be on the people of Spain. In the
meantime, it Is not possible that the
Spanish fleet will be allowed TO remain
at Cape Verde islands. A state OF war
exists between the United States and
Spain. and 1t Is sc recognized by the
other powers. II a formal declaration
ofswar is necessary TO avert complica-.
