REMEMBER

From the Chicago Inter Ocean.
Commodore Schley, commander of the
flying squadron, is reported to have said
at Fort Monroe, yesterday:
when we go into action the signal for
the other ships of the squadron will be
Remember the Maine"
Nothing else could be so appropriate, or
so inspiring as a signal for action Every
man in the navy, however high in rank or
low in station, must respond with quick
ened pulse to such battle-cry. The gov
eminent at Washington must also Re
member the Maine"

Spain VIII Back Down

From the Montgomery Advertiser.
1t will be hard matter to find ground
on which to declare war against Spain If
the blowing up of the Maine is set aside as
an incident to be adjusted by peaceful
means. The policy of penning up the Gu
ban reconcentrados has been abandoned and
appropriations made for feeding them. The
armistice promulgated by the Spanish gov
eminent shuts off armed Intervention on
our part. there will be nobody to inter-
vene against. War will not bring dead
Cubans back to life. The Maine furnishes
about all the case for movement against
Spain that is now in sight. 1t looks as If
Spain will gradually back down and let
everything be settled by peaceful methods.

Have you lost anything?"
John-"Weel, sir, the wife and me had
bit quarrel last night, and she's aye SAID
she wad droon hersel', but 1 doot she's

but Jim came up smiling, and told a funny
story just to relieve the tension OF the
crowd. Then he said: Fellow citizens,
agree in condemning this practice of taking
a fee from both parties to a lawsuit. Some
thing should be done. / have often wished
that was not the only lawyer in our town,
but as long as am, no man shall apply for
my legal assistance in vain.' Here the
other candidate shouted that he was in the
same town, but this only added to the fun,
and the incident, as it flew through the
county assured Jim of a rousing majority"

NOT FOR VENGEANCE, BUT OR JUSTICE
From the St Louis Republic.

FrOIH inc 81 LOUIS REPUBLIC.
1t is right and proper that the sailors
of the American navy should go into this
conflict taking for their pattle-cry, the
solemn slogan: Remember the Maine:'
1t Will be right for American soldiers to
take up that cry when they are ordered to
the front 1t will be right for the Ameri-
can people to swell this chorus of the ar
my and navy. 1t is an appeal not for VEN
geance, but for justice-justice for the pit
eous dead of the Maine now rotting in the
waters of Havana harbor or In the mold
of the Spanish graveyard in Havana.
They were slain by. Spanish treachery,
and their slayers must answer for the
crime.
