and remained there during the evening.
Lieutenant Holleran of the company,
assisted the city marshal and the may

tributing guns or rifles belonging 10
Company N. The business men of Full
ton deny any knowledge of rifles be-
longing to the Iowa guard being used

Adjutant General Wright says in con-

other capacity than that of citizens"

out of line. works wrecked and the
like, in an enormous sum. and necessi-
tates the closing Of the works at this
critical time The. question might be
humorously raised whether Spain had
anything to do with this new piece
of iIl-luck-onIy. this is no laughing
matter. 1t is altogether too serious
to permit of a jest. The casting into
idleness of all the men is not likely
to last more than a few days. The
major part Of them can be employed in
the work of repairs. They are all
skilled workmen, mainly machinists
and ships outftters; but in such case
as this it is probable that rather than
remain idle. they will all be willing TO
go to work upon repairs of any kind
and thus promote their own interests
and those of the Government. If the
damage at Mare Island is as great as
is reported, it win not be permitted to
remain. The Government may be
looked to to issue instant orders for
complete restoration, no matter what
the cost The navy yard must be at
once restored. It's idleness means too
much to be tolerable.

THE PRESIDENT AND THE
NATION.

The cool second thought Of the Amer
1can people approves the action Of Con-
gress in repose of continued confidence
in the President, and in granting him
what he asks, brief further delay to
give Spain fair opportunity to respond
to the demands of this Government.
What these demands are cannot, for
obvious reasons, be made public at this
time. To do SO, we are assured, would
defeat the ends sought to be attained.
The President has assured Congress that
he has every reason to believe that a
settlement Of the Cuban question will
be reached, that will assure the Cubans
of independence, and the immediate ces-
sation of the war in the island.
This he firmly believes will be accom-
plished without shedding a drop of
blood, without plunging the nations into
war. without piling upon US a new ma
tional debt, without the destruction of
property, the wrecking of a home or
the loss Of life IN battle It is the duty
Of the Executive of the nation to keep
1t out of war with honor. If he can do
this it is the bounden duty Of Congress
to give him support. If he fails he will
have placed this country in a position
that will make it's armed Intervention
and war with Spain holy cause and
will rally to US the sympathies of the
civilized world.
If he succeeds we will have gained a
position in the eyes Of all the earth
loftier than that we have occupied and
will stand before men as a great pa
tient, peace-loving, just and powerful,
self-ruling nation. Those who have
been disposed to regard President Nc
Kinley as lacking in moral stamina and
firmness of purpose, will then have to
correct their estimates of the man and
concede that he is possessed Of great
strength of character and heroic resolu-
ton, since he has been under terrible
pressure opposed to his profound convic-
tions of duty, such as no Executive has
experienced since the days of Lincoln

across a boy the other day who was
wheeling home load of oyster cans and
bottles, and, curious to know what use
the lad could put them to, he made a
direct inquiry
Going to trow them into our back

loads home yesterday"
But what do you use them for?"
It's a trick of the family" grinned
the lad.
How trick?"
I'D just as lief tell,' continued the
boy, as he spat on his hands to resume
hold on the barrow. 1--WE are going to
have some relations come in from the
country. We may not have much to
eat, but if they see these cans and bot
ties and boxes they'll think we've had

we've got tired of 'em, and are living
