SOME EDITORIAL COMMENTS.

Baltimore American: Laws that seek
to decrease the number of lynchings are
all : on the statute books now. Punish
lynchers as murderers, and there would
soon be an end to the crime.
Chicago Chronicle: 1t is tribute to the
patience of the American people that
lynchings are so few and that they are
confined to criminals who have been
guilty Of murder or raDe. The bank
wreckers. the Doodle legislators and the
defaulting public officials who are alive
and at liberty today constitute the best
reputation OF the SANDER which charges
the people of the United States with law

mental in working up interests in the

slons will cover the States geosraph-

and industrial opportunities. and will
seek to show how capital may be best
attracted to the State and most profit
ably employed there, the best method
of encouraging desirable immigration,
the uses and abuses of corporations,
how best to employ railroads-the
greatest source of development, and
will deal also with land titles, good

Among the topics for The Tennessee
Convention are. tax laws, the raw
material in the State for manufactur-

of the flow of capital from Tennessee
and the encouragement of its location

APPROXIMATIONS AT LAST.
From all over the country came re-
ports showing that the declaration was
received with greater favor than any
other act of the administration for years.
When Commodore Rodgers received
the declaration of war on hoard his ship,
the President. he ordered all hands on
deck and made an address to them.
Now, lads" said he, 1--WE have got
something to do that will shake the dust
from our jackets War is declared We
shall have another dash at our old
enemies. It is the very thing you have
long wanted. The rascals have been
bullying over us these ten years, and
am glad the time has come at last when
we can have satisfaction. If there are
any among you who are not willing to
risk your lives with me, say So, and you
shall be paid off and discharged. I'll
have no Skulkers aboard my ship!"
So the war started. with Il people ready
and willing to fight, even though they
had to nerve their President to the stick
ing point.

that the Cuban insurgents have not

his saying so had a marked effect
upon that element in Congress which
had been insisting that intervention
should be accompanied by recogni

Taking the figures of the geologi..

or 81. West Virginia and Ken
lucky show the largest actual gain
in the South, which advanced much
more between 1896 and 1897 than
between 1895 and 1896.
The Souths gain is more appreci.
able in comparing the figures for
1887 and 1897. In 1887 the South
produced 1S,47l,9 ,922 tons, or - per
cent. of the total in the country. In
ten years it had increased its output
93 per cent, equal to 36.4TG.700
tons, which was little. less than 25
per cent. of the total. The increase
of the country has been from 90.

valuable as indicating the growing

While many mines there arc cons

elsewhere, the advance from $4,000
to 6l9,6O2 tons in Texas. and from

WASHINGTON LETTER.
-tFrou,- our .segular Correspondent J


The pendulum no longer swings be-
tween peace and war, but hangs
stationary at war. The Congression-
al joint resolution declaring the peo
pie of Cuba free and independent,
and demanding on the part of the
United States government that Spain
withdraw from Cuba, and directing
and empowering the President to use
the entire land and naval forces of
the United States, and so much of
the militia Of the several States as
may be needed to force Spain out of
Cuba, means war, as no one in Wash
ington has the slightest idea that
Spain will accede to the demand
peaceably,
The only difference of opinion in
Congress about the forcible interven
tion resolution was on the lndepend-
ence clause-always excepting the
four or five Senators who are known
as peace at-any-price men. A strong
minority wished that clause to recog-
nize the independence of the republic
of Cuba, but after mature consider
alton by the Senate and House For.
eign Committees majority of both
decided to follow the Presidents ad
vice and merely declare the people
of Cuba to be free and independent,
leaving the question of the gov.
ernment of Cuba to be settled
after the island shall be occupied
by United States troops. Moth
inS is likely to prevent the ultimate
recognition of the present Cuban re
public, unless it becomes apparent
that it does not represent majority
of the people of Cuba. At least,
that is what those close to the Presi
dent say. So far as the use of force
to drive Spain out of Cuba is con-
cerned there is no opposition in Con-
gress, except from the little group
of Senators mentioned, who would
probably oppose war, even had the
Maine been destroyed by shell
openly fred from Moor Castle-only
10 members of the House voted
against it. They can talk, under
the rules of the Senate, but that is
all they can do. The die is cast.
Congress wants war, the people wan:
war, and war it will be.
The destruction of the Maine is
mentioned in preamble to the joint
resolution as the elimination of the
abhorrent conditions that had existed
in Cuba for three years, and it would
also have been true to have added,
as the principal reason for this forci-
bic intervention, Notwithstanding > the
following statement from the long
and carefully prepared report made
by the Senate committee on Foreign
Relations on the resolution; so
clearly is the destruction of the
Maine only single incident in the
relations of this government with
Spain, that calamity had never hap
pened the questions between the
United States and that government
would still press for immediate So
luton Further along the report
expresses the opinion that the des-
truction of the Maine was compasscd
either by the official act of the Span
lsh authorities or was made possible
by negligence on their part so will
ling and gross as to be equivalent in
culPahllity to positive criminal ac-
ton

A Spin on An Ice Yacht

The wind is strong and steady, and
the boat glides faster and faster. Sharp
EXPLANATIONS of pleasure testify that the
passengers are enjoying it. The speed
increases. Before lies field smooth as
plate glass and level as a billiard table.
For two miles it extends without a
flaw. At it's farther edge lies tremen-
dous crack filled with ground up ice
and heaving black water. The full pow
er of the wind strikes the white wings
as the smoothest ice is reached, and the
craft darts away at tremendous pace.
Faster, faster, she flies, till she is trav-
cling faster than the wind that drives
her. The air seems to be full of electric
sparks; a frosty haze blurs the view; ey-
cry nearer is throbbing with delight at
the wild, free speed of it all. Before
one has had time to think the crack
seems to be rushing at the boat. A mo-
ment Of intense anxiety, q catching of
breaths, wild pumping of hearts, then
a shrek of excited JOY. The good boat
has flown the gap as a hunter clears his
fence, has flung it behind her with
never a rap, and is tearing away over
another good bit as though she had no
need to touch anything more solid than
the cold, sweet air. Outing.

He Was Not So Smart.

"No," said the man with the large
head, II can't say that I think very
much OF the fox in the old fable of the
fox and the grapes. 1t is recorded of
him that after trying to get the grapes
by every way that his ingenuity could
suggest he finally turned up his nose
and said, oh, l don't care; they'r.
sour!
Now, if that fox had had any conf
mendable wisdom in his triangular skull
he would have looked at the grapes
blandly and then announced to the
world that they were sweet, but that
sweets didn't agree with him; that,
owing to the condition of his stomach,
he considered it inadvisable to eat any
thing containing saccharine matter, and
that, besides, a properly philosophical
fox believed in self denial and in taking
things that were easily at his disposal
instead of trying to climb trellis to
secure attractive but deleterious grapes
eff he had done that, instead Of being
the laughing stock of succeeding gener-
atoms he would have stood good
chance of being appointed professor OF
philosophy at the varsity and of living
on yellow legged chickens the rest of
his natural life. STRAND Magazine.

Saffron would strike an ordinary OBJ

Gus, 10000 Of which it takes to yield
the material for one pound. The won.

that it can pay to grow and gather it

failed to pay the English grower-by

French and Spanish soils being more
suitable to the full growth of the flowers
