This is q sample of the absurdlties
that are being INDUCED in by some
writer's for the press concerning the mat

Indicates some unwarranled assump-
tons on The part of the writer. Nothing
more absurd than the first question
could be concoctcd by an idiot. Who
ever eald that there could no a differ
ence In international law between the
two methods Of destroying a vessel? The
act itself and the motive are all that are
to be considered, burt the acs must fret
be determined, and that It what the
government Is engaged in doing.
The second question Is elmllnr, and
also based on the writer's assumption
that the destruction was an act of

one end to the other, result in nothing
more serious than peaceable settlement,
< with Spain, they will have at least
served one good purpose-n general re-

have been greater manifestations Of the
national pride which is Inherent in every

Striking Illustrations OF this patriotic
spirit, which, though always present in
the country, Is now being manifested to
an unusual degree, are furnished by the
4 newspaper accounts OF the manner In
which the rendering OF our national airs
IS being received by the audiences In the
theatres throughout the country. No
matter what the circumstances, or how
attentive an audience 1t may be, a
patriotic air by The orchestra. or the
eInGing Of song appealing to national

as signal for demonstration which
fairly causes the building to quake. AS

There are two paragraphs in the
speech delivered by ex-Preslden. Harri-
son at Chicago on Washington's birth
day, which express sentiments that
every American citizen should endorse
at this critical time, when so many sem
sauonal reports are afoat concerning
the explosion OF the Maine. General
Harrison said: ~
/ We stand now in the awful shadow Of
one OF the most tragic events that has
ever happened in our history, and yet we
stand with the poise. with the self-pos-
session OF people who understand their
might and can stand the developments OF
time. We are not hysterical people. We
can walt, and we all know our duty when
II shall be revealed. ;ls98 n IS 2!
We can understand that in time like
this there are grave responsibilities de-
volving upon3the President Of the United

not divide with any man. Let us stand
about him. strengthen him In the calm,as-
surance that this great country desires
only what Is right and can await until
the facts are known before 1t issues Its
proclamation.
The last sentence expresses the send-
nent Of ali cool-headed and patriotic
i.
