A GOOD TIME TO KEEP COOL.

The mystery of the explosion on the
Maine continues. There are many con-
lectures. many theories. but they are
nothing more than theories and con-
lectures, no matter from what source
they may come What is wanted is
facts, and they cannot be had until
there has been a thorough investiga-
ton: and that win take some time.
Even after that the actual cause of the
explosion may not be ascertained and
it may have to be conjecture from
facts ascertained.
The temper Of the country has been
admirable ard it is desirable that it
continue so. When the American peo-
pie have TO consider a really grave af-
fair or situation they are usually very
sober Of judgment and their good COM
mon sense is in the ascendency. 1t is
in the ascendency at the present time.
They will not permit themselves to be
carried off their feet by any sensa-
tional reports, but viii patiently wait
till everything about the disaster is
fully known.
\ most gratifying thing is the SYM
pathy that has everywhere throughout
the world gone up for the officers and
crew of the Inflated warship and the
expressions OF sympathy by various
governments. The behavior of the Of
ficers and members of the crew who
survived the disaster was most admir-
able and worthy the traditions of the
American navy.
Many officials have talked. including
Assistant Secretary of the Navy Roose-
welt, but none has talked more sensibly
than Rear Admiral Kimberly. He very
appropriately and OPPORTUNITY says:
One thing seems TO me certain: The
less that is said against Spain and the
Spanish government at this time the
better it will be, and the less cause
for regret there may be hereafter. >
Much better to suspend judgment for
while than TO express one that may
be erroneous and have to be recalled.

SPANS DIsAvowAL.

The disavowal by the Spanish gov
eminent of the sentiments Of Senior de
Lone regarding President Mckinley is
complete and all that could be asked.
The idea is deity conveyed that the
ministry disapproved of De Lome's
sentiments even before Minister Wood
ford had presented the matter. What
ever may have been the personal views
of the members of the cabinet their
common sense could not but tell them
that automatically q great oiunder
had been committed. one that would
be sure TO be the cause OF correspond
ence between the tive governments. IL
must even be said in behalf of Senor
de LONE himself that his prompt
resignation showed a true apprecia-
ton of the delicacy of the situation
The wonder in his case is that he did
not realize in the first place the danger
to which he exposed himself when he
so freely criticised the president. While
he may have been greatly irritated
over the situation and the uncopcealed
popular hostility 70 Spain, there was
ali the more need for him to use the
utmost discretion.
Happily the incident is finally closed,
and satisfactorily to both governments.
The manner in which the president
handled it was such as became a great
nation and viii meet the approval OF
the entire American people; it was con-
sentative and dignified in the extreme;
in fact it could not have been better
handled

The term of Governor Black of New
York expires this year. and already
candidates are being talked about.
There are two men prominently spoken
OF by the Democrats. They are Elliot
Danforth, chairman of the Democratic
state committee, and Perry Belmont.
Mr.. Danforth was for Bryan in 1896.
while Mr. Belmont was against him.
The latter stands very well with the
party managers. An effort will prob
ably be made to make the campaign
on purely state issues, but this viii be
almost if not quite impossible. The
financial issue is more than likely to be
injected into it, and if there is not an
out and out endorsement of the finan-
oial plank of the Chicago platform
there will probably be something very
near it. On such a platform Mr.. Dan
forth would seem to be the logical can
didate. but Mr.. Belmont is showing
signs of coming round on the question.
He has been defending Senator Murphy
for his vote in favor of the Teller reso-
luton. on this point he says: 1T is
a mystery how and why the Republic
ans at Albany viii censure Senator
Murphy for voting for the Teller reso-
luton and for voting precisely as Presi-
dent Mckinley did in 1878. It may be
argued that the Teller resolution looked
to free coinage, but even if it did. Nc
Kinley voted therefor and also to over
throw the gold starSard. How upon
any theory did Senator Murphy's vote
in 1898 any more 'debase our currency
and impair the credit of our country
than did McKinley's 20 years before %
Altogether the New York gubernatorial
fight promises to be interesting. The
Democrats have a good chance of sue
cess, while the Republicans are all di-
vided among themselves.

WAR ON ANN ARBoR co-EDs.

At the University of Michigan boys
and girls fare placed on the same foot
ing, and the privileges of the univer-
sity are as open to the one as to the
other. But lately the boys have be-
come very cranky" and are treating
the young lady students with anything
but gallantry; in truth they are treat
ing them with downright rudeness, if
all the stories that come from Ann
Arbor are true.
Tonight the social event of the COL
lege year takes place. This is the
juniors dance. To it not a single
"co-ed" has been invited. The reason
is that the young men of the junior
class are asses.
We know something of the college
girls at Ann Arbor and they are just
as bright as the brightest young men
there. They are up with them in their
studies in all departments, and they
are their social equals, if not superiors
They are not blue stockings, but young
women thoroughly in earnest, who are
seeking to avail themselves of all the
advantages offered by Michigan's great
university. They do not lose their fem
ininity because Of their college educa-
ton. nor are they in any way unsexed;
rather they become more valuable
members of the community, and as
mothers they make the home more
ideal and intellectual place than they
otherwise would.
The Ann Arbor college girl is always
lady, always charming, a realization
of Tennyson's Sweet Girl Graduate"
and the Ann Arbor college boy who
boycotts her or who treats her as. any
thing else than as his equal in every
thing. is a boor and an ass.

TALES OF THE DAY.
Flight of Modest Maids.

New Bedford Standard: Mr.. Pratt
Congressman Simpkin's private secretary
has been accused of this:
Every visitor TO Washington has had
exhibited to him the mysteries of Stat
uary hall in the capitol, where there are
a dozen or more echo stones. each OF
which creates a different sort of echo
owing to the peculiar acoustic properties
of the hall
Strangers frequently blunder on these
stones, and indulge in confidential com
munications, which can be distinctly
heard all over the large room.
Today while the private secretary of a
Massachusetts member was leaning
against one of the pillars he heard a voice
apparently coming from the depths say
ing:
"Oh. dear. what shall do? My skirt is
falling of. and l haven't a pin.
Comprehending the situation. in his
gruffsst voice he whispered Sew IL on
or use a hat pin. ="
A muffied scream greeted his answer
and then ne heard the first voice again
say. Did YOU ever?''
once more the secretary replied; No.
never did. / always use buttons
This was too much for the young wom-
en-. and gathering up their skirts. they
made hasty but scared retreat

SULPHUR STATISTICS.

The people of Utah will be interested
in some statistics recently put forth
concerning birthstone imported into
the United States. AS all know, the
birthstone imported into this country
comes from Sicily. chiefly from the
port Of Palermo. Statistics show that
the United States receive more of the
material than any other country. While
us, 1877 tons arrived, in 1897, at the ports
of New York, Baltimore, Philadelphia
Charleston, Boston, Wilmington and
Norfolk, the following exports were
made from Sicily to other parts of the
world: France, S4,S95 tons; Italy, 49,
O52 tons: United Kingdom. 24.520 tons;
Russia, 1852 tons; Portugal, 1854 tons;
Germany, 1921 tons; Austria, 1898
tons; Greece Turkey, 1856 tons;
Belgium, 9,25S tons; Sweden, Norway
and Denmark, II ,226 tons; Spain, 4,039
tons; Holland, 1899 tons.
The special interest the people of
Utah have in these statistics is that
in this state there are immense de-
posts of birthstone, sufficient, in all

could use, but it is impossible to get
it into the markets because Of railroad

on the cars it has to be transported
some twenty odd miles by wagon, thus
necessitating a double handling of it,
while the tariff gives little if any aid.

The New York Evening World says:

The proprietor of one of New York s
most fashionable hostelries ordered So
00O worth of table silverware, such as
knives, forks and spoons, the other day,
and when the goods were delivered he
refused to take them at any price as
the name of the hotel had been stamped
on them. He explained his strange ac-
ton by saying that people often dine
there only to take away knives, forks
and spoons as souvenirs. IF the name
of the hotel is not on Them he said,
they leave them alone. for their only
reason in dining here is to steal these
stamped goods and show them to their
friends to prove that they are in the
habit of patronizing fashionable hostel
ries.'
