THE PRESIDENTS COURSE.

We commend to the attention of for his conservative course the re- marks of George Frisbie HOar yester- day in the United States senate. Mr. Hoar comes of revolutionary stock, is a genuine patriot and has more horse sense than is vouchsafed to the aver age senator. He stands with the pres ident He said in his speech that it would be we'll for the impetuous peo- pie of this day to remember Lincoln s counsels ir the early stages of the civil war and not to forget Bull Run. MT. Hoar did not agree with Senator For aker that belligerency should be recog- nized. This recognition would not have done the insurgents any good and it would give the Spaniards au- thority to search our ships. MT. Hoar spoke of the sympathy of England at the present crisis, saying that it might be needed before long, and that it was not wise to reject it. This sympathy, he said, had been won for us by the bearing of the president
 If we go to war with Spain we shall be equipped to give hard knocks. Two months ago the country was unpre- pared for war. It is today practically on war footing. The president, it should be remembered, has had war ex- perience. He carried a musket in the ranks thirty-fve years ago. He, un- like Mark Smith and other blatant patriots" knows what war means. While trying to preserve peace between this country and Spain he has made every possible provision for war; When the shells begin to fly, as they seem likely to, those who are under fire will appreciate thoroughly the presidents course. The political war riors will, of course, continue to assail the president. But in times like these the mere politician shrinks perceptibly

The remaining of the various vessels added to the United States navy is evidently regarded as a serious task by those in charge of the matter. The yacht Mayf1ower is to be called the Suwanee. though why the former title is not appropriate we do not see. The Algonquin, transferred from service in the treasury department, is to be the Accomac- because, we are informed, the Virginia county affords more ap- propriate designation than the ancient Indian tribe. For the sake of argu- ment, granting SO much, why should the Sovereign be called the Scorpion and the Creole the Solace? No one will object, however, to the painting out of the solemn name Diogenes on one of our recent acquisitions and the substitution of the name Topeka.

HE LAUGHS BEST, ETC.

It was Saturday night and a Coluro- bus avenue cable car was rapidly fiji ing up with play goers homewa,d il bound. At the extreme front of the car was man whose left arm encir- cled towering potted palm, while with his right hand he held on to an enormous pair of high-topped rubber boots, the feet of which rested on the floor just in front of him much as they would if he had worn them. Nearly everybody who entered the car by the front doors stumbled over or stepped upon those rubber boots, and many and profuse were the apologies to their owner, the first impression of each newcomer being that there were feet inside the boots. This very natural mistake seemed to amuse the owner earlier victims watched the discomfit- ure of later corners with interest. The man with the boots was SO we'll enter tained that he forgot where he wanted to get off, and when the fact dawned upon him he jerked the doors apart and bolted with his treasures without waiting for the car to stop, snapping of the top of his palm against the ton Of the car door, dropping one of his boots on the platform just as he leaned out into space and then engaging in a. frantic foot race after the car, only to find when he caught it that the obliging motorman had kicked the boot off an instant after it's owner had made his hurried exit. The smile that went around the car lasted all the way to Harlem.-New York Conner cial

THE CORRECT CUBAN VIEW.

Dr. John Guiteras and Colonel Emilio Nunez of Philadelphia, who are in Washington, sent the following to a Philadelphia paper:
 Cubans protest against autonomist scheme, but never against American intervention, whatever form it may take with a view to expel Spaniards from the continent. We are for inde- pendence first; but no matter how the Spanish flag goes down, we are satis- fled.
 That is the attitude, we believe, of the fighting Cubans themselves and their friends in this country. No one imagines for moment that the Cubans would refuse to accept their independ- ence through intervention. Independ- ence is what they seek and it makes no difference to them how it is obtain ed. They have earned their freedom may have to contend with the rash ut terances of some of those identified with the struggle, but of their sincere and unf1inching confidence in the United States there can be no question They are not to turn against their real friends on a mere quibble of meth cd. We have too much respect for the brave men who have fought a hard fight for three years to imagine that they have any notion of making a mis- take at this time. They know who have been their friends in the past and who are their friends now.

WOODWARD, Ok, Feb 25 The mem
bers Of the bar OF western Oklahoma
will meet at Woodward March to
organzs the western oklahoma Bar
association" The counties interested
in this movement are Woods, Wood
ward, Beaver, Roger Mills, Day, d,
Greer and possibly Custer. They will
advocate that a separate district, com
posed OF these counties, be made and
that it shall be known as the Western
district. They will also ask that a
western man, resident OF the district,
be appointed as presiding judge and
will oppose the appointment OF a car
pet-bagger.
The Hon. A. G. Cunningham will
doubtless receive the unanimous in
dorsement OF the association, for the
reason that he is one of the ablest law
yers in the new district and one OF the
most noted Republican lawyers IN
western Oklahoma. He is an old SOL
dier, q strong administration man aud
his services, both to his country and
his party, will doubtless receive this
reward, as until now he has never
sought or asked for anything
Those who are at the head OF this
movement are very strongly IN favor
OF the appointment OF Cunningham as
