Ell Nacional (Weyler organ at Mad
rld): It Is unfair to blame the enemy for
possessing forces superior to ours; burt
what is worthy of being blamed with all
possible Vehemence Is this infamous gov
ernment which allowed our inferiOrity
without neutralizing 1t by means of
preparations.
FL HeraldO (Madrid): It was no ca
rice of the fortunes of war. From the
very first cannon shot our fragile ships
were at the mercy Of the formidable
hostile squadron. They were condemned
to fall, one after another, under the fire
Of the American batteries, powerless to
strike, and were defended only by the
valor in the breasts of their sailors.
FL Nacional (Madrid): A good bat
terry off COrregidor island, with great
refectOrs and guns capable Of sweeping
the sea for miles around, would have
kept the American squadron out of the
bay. In COrregidOr there were only a
few wretChed guns taken from the war
ships few days ago. This is truth.
Our sailors have been basely delivered
over to the grapeshOt Of the Yankees.

Gent power to protect the lives and
property of such of the inhabitants as
have remained loyal to Spanish au-
thority and have thus incurred the
bitter resentment of the rebels. The
question is whether the United States
would be justified in intervening by
force of arms Tor war; in support of
the refusal of the insurgents to accept
the autonomy that is offered to Cuba.
When Spain comedies for the sake of
peace all that the insurgents could
power of vengeance and contiscation
over their enemies, Intervention by
this government becomes very seri-
Gus matter.
Representative Bailey agrees with
Senator Mason, of illinois, that there
is nothing to fear in the idea of a
war between the United States and
Spain" According to these lingo
statesmen this government would
merely saunter through a war with
so decrepit a nation. If that be true
there would be small glory in such a
conflict. OF course no one doubts for
a moment that the United States
would come out victorious from a war
with the broken power of Spain. But
it is a great mistake to imagine with
Representative Bailey that the Span
iards would be smitten with panic on
the first hostile movement of this
government. There is nothing in the
history of Spain that warrants such
a conceit. 1t may be taken for grant
ed, on the contrary, that the Span
iards will not run away even if the
United States were as fully prepared
for an aggressive war by sea and land
as the Jingoes in Washington pretend
But whether the preparations of this
government for war with Spain be
greater or less the essential condition
is that the cause should be justified
by the highest standard of public
morality; and such a cause does not
yet exist. Into such a question the
mean party considerations insiduous-
ly suggested by Mr.. Bailey cannot
enter.

Gentle Spring is Here.

Capricious as ever, spring Sunday
made her official bow for the season of
1898 and will reign supreme until sum-
mer takes the sceptre on June q. Ac-
cording to the calendar the sun enter
ed Aries at six minutes after o'clock
Sunday morning and then spring was
present. During the first day of her
reign she treated her subjects to
smiles and tears, for at times the sun
smiled from behind blackening clouds
and again the clouds gathered and
sent down sprinklings suggestive of
April showers. Warm breeZes blew,
but at the same time there was a sus-
picion of GOODNESS in the atmosphere,
as if old winter was lingering close at
hand in a flirtatious mood and needed
but little encouragement to buster
about in place of springs gentle sway.

AdOrn the Town,

A towns streets should be the lawns
and public parks. They should be to
the corporation, as a whole, what the
grass plots in front of the house is to
the individual resident. There is no
higher evidence of the taste, refine
ment, enterprise and intelligence of
community than well paved streets
bordered with handsome shade trees.
Ill kept, badly laid out streets
speak of public poverty and narrow
ness, an absence of that spirit which
shows every citizen loyal to his towns
interests and wisely attentive to his
own. Public streets, substantially
paved, will in turn encourage a SINH
lar treatment of the private property
adjoining them. There is no depart
ure which would so instill patriotism
and love of home and country as per-
fecting our streets and highways.

The Bishops Advice.

Bishop Paret has issued instruc-
tions to the Episcopal clergy of the
Diocese of Maryland, urging them to
keep the question of international
complications out of their sermons,
but to pray for peace. He said in his
circular that these are times of I'M
certainty, trouble and danger, and
that, important as are the questions
confronting the people at present,
they have no place in the pulpit. He
referred to the times of Christ and
His disciples, when much greater
questions pressed upon the minds of
the people, but they were not made
themes of sermons. The circular
closes by urging the use of the APP
pointed prayer for the President and
all in authority, and at every Litany
service and all other services the
prayer for Congress.
