CINCINNATI, March 0.-The CONNER.
cial-Tribune says editorially:
As was emineatly proper under the circum-
stances, the pre- sident did not Ia his message
either recommend or urge upon congress any
immediate action In the premises Three rea-
sons doubtless prompted the president to con-
fine himself for the present at least TO recital
tion of the ascertained facts. and all OF these
reasons were sound ones.
In the first place, congress is ia no degree
subordinate 10 the president. II Is an inde-
pendent department OF the government capa-
bic, competent and accustomed to formulate its
own action upon any question when IL 50 de-
sires. Therefore. IL would have been unseemly
for the president especially in a matter OF such
treraendous Importance. To have urged congress
To Immediately commit itself irrevocably to any
course OF action Instead, this president laid
before congress all the knowledge which he him
self possessed upon the subject, contid mt that
congress, With the facts before II, would be able
~ choose its own course.
In the second place, instant and precip.t tate
action by congress is soon a. the report OF the
naval board was laid before IL, and without ex-
animation OF the evidence In the case through
its committees, would have been ill-advised
and not at all In harmony lyith the decent and
ditnihed methods OF q strong honorable nation
like the United States. Approaching this, The
president did not recommend such action as
would have contrasted unfayorahly with the
pratseworthy self-control thus far taken and
held by this country.
In the third place. the dictates OF common
oeeency compel US 70 at least give Spain an op-
portunity TO express herself OF her own Yoli-
tion, upon the subject. before any final ane de-
cisive action IS taken by us.
In conclusion, let IL be kept an mind that the
presidents message is simply a preliminary
one. in which recommendation would have
been out of place. In little while we will
know whether or not Spain proposes TO APP
proach US with that humiliation which the cir
cumstanees demand II she does not thea will
be the time for another executive message OF
far different character, and for congressional
action.

making an inquiry into the cause of
the DISASTER, but what their conclusions
were, if any had been arrived at, he
did not know. A few divers, under
the direction of some non-commis sioned
officer, were working leisurely about
the wreck, but he had understood that
the court was paying special attention
TO outside matters. They had found, he
had heard, that there were no dead fish
found in the harbor after the explosion,
and also that the explosion did not
create such disturbance of the water

Pitches Hay,

Matawan. n. J., June 3O-The Morgan
Vile Methodist Church has dismissed its
pastor, the Rev. W. Grimshaw, because
Of some uncertainty as to the manner of
his licensing. and the young man has
proved his versatility by turning from
theology TO agriculture. John c. Dill
president of the church board of trustees
thus explains the incident:
You know, perhaps, that we are a
small church. and that we often take up
with young student or layman. called
supply by the General Conference
However. we are under the Jurisdiction
OF the General Conference of the Meth
odist Episcopal Church. and when we
engage a minister We notify our presiding
elder. and he looks after the mans Gre
dentials and license.
Mr.. Grimshaw came to Morganville
early last April and applied to the trus-
tees of our church. .-and-after once hear
ing the young man preach the trustees
agreed To engage him for the Summer
months. Our presiding elder was notified.
and he AT once found that the young
man had no license to preach. Grimshaw
showed letter, dated somewhere in
Connecticut, setting forth his good char
acter and habits. but the elder became
suspicious and at once began an inves-i-
cation. which has resulted in his -
missal.
Mr.. Grimshaw, however. has left town,
and was last heard from in Niiddlesex
County. where he had changed his voca-
ton of minister to that of farmer and
was pitching hay in the fields for living.

MAY STOP HIS SALARY.
District Attorney Davis Between
the Senate and the House.

One Of the points of controversy be-
tween the Senate and the House in the
sundry civil bill involved the tenure of
United States District Attorney Davis, of
the District. He was appointed. after
having been rejected by the Senate. by
the Supreme Court of the District.
An amendment to the sundry civil bill
put in by the Senate provides that no
money appropriated shall be used TO pay
Mr.. Davis after the adjournment of the
present session of Congress.
The object of the amendment is to Oust
Mr.. Davis when Congress adjourns.
The Senate contends that this is in
keeping with the constitutional provision
to the effect that officials appointed dur
ing the session OF Congress shall hold
only until the adjournment of the next
ensuing session of the Senate.
The House contends that the provision
is new legislation on an appropriation bill
and therefore resists it. The House will
probably surrender to the Senate.

skILLFuL COOKS DUTY.
Should Make Food Taste and Look
Well.


The true science of cookery is to select
proper and nourishing ingredients and
then prepare them in such a manner as
will please the taste, and incidentally the
eye.
The most valuable food will not long
agree with a person If its taste is disa-
greeable. This does not argue that all
nice tasting articles are nutritious and
nourishing. However, 1t is the duty Of
all food experts to produce delicious food
and from the best possible ingredients.
and to have a comprehensive knowledge
of the laws of digestion and assimilation.

type of scientifically made food thus far
