now thought that the impressment of Ohio

as transports during the present war may
occur at any time. Captain Mitch Smith,
of this city, has entered on reserve duty for
the government from this district, and five
other pilots have been ordered to report
They are required to hold themselves in
twelve hours notice. Should a large requi-

a fast steamer could be impressed, a quick

to all the delays incident to freight train

graceful compliment to this country by in

A rIaiI-Carrier's Notes.

Martinsburg is in very healthy
condition.
Iced tea is becoming the favorite
drink of our city folks.
Rothwell & I4ovett's ice factory is
making excellent ice and lots of it.
The heart of the iceman is glad
since the thermometer registers ice
selling weather.
Mr.. S. S. Grantham said carrying
mail was harder than threshing VIII at
sixteen hours day.
Martinsburg let her patriotism
burn on the Fourth, and she also let it
get wet the same day.
Ask your mail-carrier for an official
slip on which to write the names of
those receiving mail at your home.
Superintendent Shaffer, of the city
water works, had the reservoir below
the water works cleansed last week.
Every home should have letter
box and number, which will ensure
correct and speedy delivery of mails.
The hum of the threshing machine
is heard IN the rural districts, singing
tales of woe to other Joseph Letters.
The new mail.carriers had a hot
time of it on their first days. A young
fellow remarked, i" He had warm ex-
ception."
Prof A. Comery, leader of the Me
chanics Band, has been offered a po-
sition as first cornetist in the 4th
Volunteer Infantry Band.
Tuly was celebrated all over the
United States, and parts of the country
which had never before done so heard
the reports of our cannon crackers.
The B. & 0. railroad company had
several hands at work last week cut
ting the grass from the gutter on East
Burke street and doing other clean
ing.
1t is surprising to see how large our
thriving city is. Martinsburg covers
more ground than many cities with
twice our population. We're not
packed like sardines.
The windows at the post office are
opened from 5 to 4 p. IN. on Sundays
and holidays. Each carrier has
window which is opened as we'll as
the general delivery window.

ceeded mo. 3" as local editor and

THE WAR.

That Spain was making but slight
effort to subdue the Cubans is now
quite evident. That the Cubans I'M
aided could not have gained their in.
dependence is also true. That the
war for the suppression Of the insur-
rection was intolerable to this Nation
was equally clear. 1t has been
claimed that the newspapers precipi-
tated the war, but we think incorrect
ly. TO our mind the speech delivered
by Senator Proctor had more to do
toward provoking hostilities than
any other one thing. His vivid and
truthful description of the sufferings
Of the reconcentrados aroused the Ma
ton to the enormities of the cruelties
of the Spaniards as nothing else could.
Why the efforts of Spain were so fu.
tile, in view of the desperate resistance
now being made is mystery unless
it was because those in authority
were fattening at the expense of Spain
and Cuba, and now know that they
must either fight or be driven into the
sea.
Every event subsequent to the dec
laration OF war proves the correct
ness of the position of President Nc
Kinley, Senator Elkins and others
prior to the declaration. That they
were right all now concede. That
we we're not ready for war all now
know. That the war will be brought
to a successful termination no one
doubts. That the President is level
headed all must agree. That he has
employed every resource at his COM
mand in the prosecution of the war is
a fact, and if events have been slow
OF execution 1t is because it was i'm
possible to proceed with greater rapid
ity. That the vast sums being ex-
pended are properly expended there
is no reason of dispute. These things
being true, let every American exer-
else patience and victory is certain.
