WEDNESDAY EVENING, MAY Is, 1888

EX-SENATOR SHERMAN may nave
lost his memory before he was forced
out of the Cabinet, but that ne still re
tsins his common sense is proved by
the following statement he made in a
recent interview 1--WE do not want
any additional territory; not Hawaii
Cuba, Puerto Rico or the Philippines
All we want is to get out OF a war IN
which we never should have been en-
gagged and return to peaceful aVoca'
TONS" This shows that Mr.. Sherman
though old and infrm, when undistuFO,
ed and left to himself, has great deal
more good sense and patriotism than
those by whom he was duped into re-
signing his seat in the Senate in order
TO occupy one in the Cabinet, from
which ne was deposed when they grew
tired of him.

It is hardly wonderful that the poor

be growing reckless and willing to let
things go by the board. But to those
who have material interests to be pre-.
