ONE of the gratifying compensations
of tue present difficulty between Spain
and the United States will lie IN the
fact that the chronic globe trotters
and European wanderers will have to
stay at home or at least stay on this
side of the Atlantic and spend their
money. The s75, 900, 900 or 800, OOO 600
generally dropped into the lap of Euro
peans every summer will be largely
circulated in the United States this
year. Europeans instead of preying
on Americans will be subjected to the
necessity of preying on themselves.

wARAr CLOSE ouAnrEns.

A number of young men were col
lected together discussing the war.
Each of them felt fully capable Of lick
ing any four garlic-scented Spaniards
on earth, with an occasional dose OF
"yellow-jack" thrown in to make a
more interesting fight. An old veteran
of the civil war strolling by caught
the drift of the conversation and join
ed in with some experiences calculated
to work on the scalp of young fell
lows head until each individual hair
stood up as stiff and straight as q regu-
lation army bayonet. AS the old man
proceeded with his stories ofsublime
daring and heroic death the boys grew
respectfully silent and in their hearts
paid homage as they listened. When
he told how he took part in the siege
of Vicksburg they were breathless
with expectancy.
Lying in the trenches" said the
narrator, "were as brave lot of boys
as ever wore the blue or marched un-
der the starry banner. So close were
we to the lines of the enemy, also en-
trenched, that we could see the pupils
of each others eyes and hear the labor
ed breathing from each others throats.
Across the few feet of earth that inter
vened between the trenches come now
and then the sound of the gritting of
teeth or low moan as some hero
received his death wound. AS the
combat grew more deadly the men in
one trench, supplied with shells, would
light the fuses and toss the projectiles
across upon their enemies to deal out
destruction right and left. But the
courage and genius of the American
soldier were equal to the occasion.
Seeing shell coming, with lighted
fuse kissing and sputtering as it burn
ed its way toward the powder charge
inside, the men toward whom it was
thrown would rise suddenly with a
blanket, catch the deadly missile with
out jar and with a surge toss it back
upon those who sent it. Instantly
would arise another quartette of
soldiers with blanket and the skill
full performance would be repeated,
the shell being tossed backward and
forward from trench to trench until
the burning fuse reached the interior
and the missile exploded harmlessly In
the air."
Yes" continued the old veteran,
"those were exciting"
But his hearers had one by one stolen
silently from the crowd and he was
left alone with his imagination.

STANDING OF THE LEAa1rE.
A Patriotic Song.

Mr. j. G. Griggs, guard at the Ohio
penitentiary, came home Wednesday
morning and will remain until Satur-
day with his family. Mr.. Griggs has
anticipated the sentiments OF the Anne
rican people which he has incorporated
in patriotic song entitled Cuba Shall
be Free" The wording of the song is
very expressive and the musical COM
position is the equal of Mr.. Grigg's for
mer compositions prominent among
which is the song, The Flag of Our
Union,' which created quite sensa-
tion among the music loving class. Mr..
Griggs has reduced the price of this
latest song to the nominal fee of 25
cents. s.-Beverly Dispatch.

UNCLE SANS men-of-war, making
captures of Spanish merchantmen on
the high seas, have certain laws with
which they must rigidly comply before
they can receive the profit due them
for their daring. At the same time it
will be news 10 most people that there
is actual cash profit for the crews in
such captures, Disposal OF vessels
taken at sea in time of war, so that the
captors may be rewarded, is governed
not only by national, but international
law. The law of pyize money generally
accepted by the nations is that to the
captors belong all the proceeds Of the
sale of the booty unless the nation to
which the captors belong has other
provision. In the case of the United
States, il one of our ships captures a
Spanish vessel having a crew of equal
size or greater than that of the captor,
all the prize money realized goes to the
winning crew. II the Yanquished crew
be of less size, then half of the prize
money goes to the government and
half to the victors. II feet of Ameri-
can warships sight prize and one Of
their number takes it, the prize money
is distributed among the crews OF all
the vessels within signaling distance
at the time OF the capture.

LITTLE FELLOWS IN TROUBLE.

The Ohio legislature enacted law
in March which has created consider
able excitement among the memb bers of
the minority parties in this state.
The law provides that any party which,
at the last election, failed to cast one
per cent Of the total vote, must, to get
its ticket on the official ballot, present
petition signed by at least one per
cent OF the voters of the state, and
each person signing the petition must
pledge himself to vote the ticket of the
party. This last clause is the thing
that has raised the racket None of
the minority parties in the state last
year cast one per cent of the total vote
and consequently they are all shut out.
They could not get on if they could
secure the signatures of every member
of the party, which, of course, would
be an impossibility. This situation led
to meeting of leading members of
these parties at Columbus on April
18th. and that meeting appointed a
committee to draft a call and arrange
for convention composed of members
from the different minority parties and
such others as might choose to come in.
This committee has now issued call
for a convention of all the minor par
ties, to be held at Columbus on May
a5th, for the purpose of uniting them
all in the support of one ticket

CALLS FOR MILITIA.

There were three calls for soldiers
from the militia of the states during
the civil war. On April Is, 1861. for
$1,000 men to serve for three months;
another in August, 1862, for 800, 900 men
to serve for nine months (the limit of
militiamen's service under the act of
congress), and the last for 1OO-day men,
between April and July, 1864. The
great bulk of those who. fought in the
Union armies were volunteers, regulars
and conscripts, the militiamen's term
of service being tco limited to make
them of much use to the government
The militia were not used at all during
the Mexican war, the regulars and
volunteers forming the armies of Cen
erals Scott and Taylor.-Ohio State

THE Pittsburg Commercial Gazette,
speaking of the Ohio law recently
passed, giving juries the right to elect
whether person convicted of murder
in the first degree shall be electrocuted
or imprisoned for life, says: If this
does not abolish capital punishment in
the state, it is long advance in the
direction. However we'll established
the guilt of the accused, the average
jury will hesitate to impose the death
penalty as between the latter and i'm
prisonment for life"

THE troops OF the National Guard in
many states are ia turmoil as a re-
suit of disappointed personal am billions
and political chickering's The quarrels
in some cases narrowly escape being
disgraceful. The result may yet be
that the Presidents volunteer army
will be made up largely of raw recruits
while the National Guard remains at
home.
To the everlasting credit of Ohio, it
may be said that there is no such con-
dition of affairs in this state and that
the National Guard boys who have
been called will go out as one man.

Over there the American losses
