BY the message the divergence was

the pervading war spirit. He made a
brief appendix for his message out OF
the fact hat spain has offered to ex-
tend an armistice to Cube He told
that IL the armistice plan
worked. that would accomplish every
thing a Christian and peace-ioving peo-
pie could ask. But he did not suggest
that the arnistice plan be sustained and
that, In pursuance of Its policy of pa
thence, this country bid it's time while
the test was made, or that the armis-
;ice plan be favored with a hint OF
this country's good will. Had he sug-
gested this. unquestionably congress
would have listened To hint could
not have JUSTIFIED a refusal. But the
president failed to do this courageous
thing. With the result that the last

these administration men hoped to

However. when we remember how
wide apart the president and the ma
jority i'm both houses Of ongress were,
as recently as last Monday, we shall
not be disposed to think hat these
delays are passing strange. OF course,
the delay vexes those who believe In
striking at Spain at once. But there's
no help for II: what the administration
wants Is time. in order to win more
and more support to It's side. 1t made
great gains i'm the house last week-it
turned what had been a majority
against IT into a majority in its favor
in the house. and the course OF the
house I'm adjourning from Friday till
Monday-certainly a remarkable pro-
ceeding under existing conditions-is an
illustration OF the administrations de-
termination to be resolute In the effort
to force it's policy.

For Its part the Standard would
gladly welcome these delays. IL there
were reason to believe that they en-
courage the hope that at the las Spain
will yield. Unfortunately, the delay
certainly does not operate in that way.
on the contrary, it exaggerates the
idea. industriously spread throughout
Spain. that the people OF the United
States are not harmonious. that the
national Legislature Is a house divided
against itself and that this country is
OF two opinions as To the merits of II
contention about Cuba. Believing this,
the tendency among the Spaniards is
to fear less and less the foe who, they
persuade themselves, Is divided; un-
q~uestionably the record of the congress
sional week Is one that must serve to
incite the Spaniard to war rather than
to deter him: and thus a baneful infu-
ence is exerted. Yesterday the Span
iards attacked the United States

chicks to move away from the heat
should this become too great There
must be provision for run outside as

and there must be protection from

A Tennessee correspondent Of Hoard's
Dairyman says: In our discussions on
dairy subjects we, as a rule, ignore the
fact that our success is owing to great
extent to the boys OIL the farm. They,
If properly reared, will not only relieve
us of a great mary cares, but also will
make the farm and herd more success
full than hired men will do. In my
wide range Of observation have found
that the dairyman or any farmer who
took an interest in having his boys with
him on the farm was the one who was
not only making his business success,
but at the same time was giving his
boys the education and habits to make
them successful in his line after him.
In my case while my boys were

that could not successfully carry on
