n is mightier than the pill.

The Spanish ''loyalisos'' in Havana
cheerfully contributed the sum Of
$500 to the purchase of war ship
for the home government, and while
this collection was being taken up
money to about the amount was being
distributed to the starving reconcen-
trados of the island. But not one dol
lar of the relief fund came from the
"loyahsts.'' Every dollar of it came
from sympathetic Americans. while
the loyalists were aiding the govern
ment to make more reconcentrados,
that there might be more to starve
and more to eat up the contributions
from America. And this is the kind
OF thing we are called upon to witness
from day to day., War! why, civilized
war is blessing by comparison

THERE is something distinctly dis

view which he give out concerning his
relations with the president and his
views on the question of war. ct have

t1uenced the president" "I have used
my influence with the PRESIDENT etc,

or his pen as often as he gives! either
of>them chance to speak. Mr.. Hanna,
as member of the senate, is entitled
to the same amount of consideration
as any other new. man in the senate,
but he has no right to go around the
country giving out the impression that
5hetis S'the whole thing. ''Rf We do not
believe that he is, and we do not be-
lleve that he has any greater influence
with the president than any one of a
dozen others who might be named. but
that is the impression that be gives,
and the president is not in any way
benefited by the impression thus Gre
ated. In the namesof common ,decency
let Mr.. Hanna forbear.. There is
something about him that does not
smell any too good any how, and the
best thing he can do. is to stake two
steps forward to the rear.''

If the second congressional district
is really seeking recognition at the

in a very peculiar way. No one will
call into question the high character
of the Second district, or it's loyalty to
the Republican party. The records
themselves testify to that But all the
same, no district, or county, or indi-
vidual, for that matter, ever gained a
point by serving such notice as that

then they went about it in right way;

WAR AND BUSINESS.

Neither peace nor war reports have
changed the onward current of bust
ness. Orders for more than S25, 500. 900
gold from Europe have blocked any
drift toward stringency in, rates for
money, and treasury receipts of about
81, 10000 per day have kept in check
any question about the currency, while
exports of products haye continued at
a rate considerably increased, and the
demand for products of the great in
dustries shows steady ex pansion.
Prompt action by the senate and house
has removed all fear of embarrassment
through conflicting purposes at Wash
ington. The government is making
ready without any waste of time while
frankly assuring everybody that it
looks for a peaceful settlement, and
hopes that its preparations may prove
unnecessary Re,1iew. ~. -.

q REALLY, to judge by the amount Of
newspaper chatter over the subject, it
would appear that the only important
thing about a war ship is the christen-
ing of it. What does the public care

she carries heavy guns and cab fire
heavy shots at an enemy? Let 'em
christen her with milk. if they want

The speech Of Senator Thurston in

ter and caustic arraignment of Spain
that has yet been made, and was the
more SO because of the cool and unim-

was plain, succinct statement of the
long and unbroked carnival of murder,
arson, torture and oppression that
marks Spain's treatment of her Cuban
subjects, and it will take its place in

SENDING relief TO the CnhanS q II

SENDING relief to the Cubans, loaf

the suffering in Cuba. Another and a

given them they would soon be in a

ENGLAND AND AMERICA. =

If we should be brought to the f nece s;
sity of choosing a European alliance,
we should certainly unite our destiny
with Great Britain, not from race sem
timent, or on account of "Englishry, {"
but from conviction of natural common
interests. And undoubtedly that is the
sentiment back of England's present
friendly disposition toward US. In the
commercial and expansive form which
international rivalries are taking.
Great Britain is our only conceivable
ally. But there will be no union OK

bring the pressure to bear will be

Evidently Frightened the Owner.
Major William Pierce left behind
him a partial record of the debates in
Philadelphia which supplement those
of Madison, Yates and King; also the
following anecdote:
When the convention first opened at
Philadelphia, there were number OF
PROPOSITIONS brought forward as great
leading principles for the new govern
ment TO be established for the United
States. A copy Of these propositions was
given TO each member, with an lnJunc-
ton to keep everything a profound Sc
cret. One morning, by accident, one of
the members dropped his copy Of the
PROPOSITIONS, which, being luckily pick
ed up by General Mitfiin, was presented
to General Washington, our president,
who put it in his pocket. After the de-
bates Of the day were over and the ques-
ton for adjournment was called for the
general arose from his seat and, preyl-
Gus to his putting the question, address
ed the convention III the following man
ner:
Gentlemen, l am sorry to find that
some one member of this body has been
so neglectful Of the secrets of the con-
yention as to drop in the statehouse a
COPY of their proceedings, which by &C
cident was picked up and delivered to
me this morning. l must entreat gen
tlemen to be more careful, lest our
transactions get into the newspapers and
disturb the public repose by premature
speculations. l know not whose paper
it is, but there it is (throwing it down
on the table,. Let him who owns it take
it," At the same time he bowed, picked
up his hat and quilted the room with a
dignity so severe that every person
seemed alarmed For my part, l was
extremely so, for, putting my hand III
my pocket, l missed my copy Of the
same paper, but, advancing up to the
table, my fears soon dissipated. | found
it to be the handwriting of another per-
son. When l went to my lodgings at
the Indian Queen, found my copy in

morning. 1t is something remarkable

QUEER OLD NATURE.

"Why Is it." asked a wondering child
(Sweet. simple little thing,
"That the foolish tree puts on its clothes
When the sun shines in the spring,
And then, when chilly autumn comes
And the winds of winter blow,
Why dess it stand out there, all bare,
In the frost and sleet and snowT'
"Wise nature has arranged it thus,
told the little one,
''The rustling leaves can only live
Beneath a smiling sun;
The tree that in the summer time
Makes shady bowers for you
Must have its rest, therefore it stands
Asleep the winter through"
She sat in silence for awhile
And gazed far into space,
And lines Of thought and trouble came
To mar her childish face,
And so, at last, she turned and said:
I'm sorry for the tree,
And glad that nature wasn't left
To fix things up for mel"
