The publishers Of 4 German novel
once did a neat thing in the way Of
advertising. They caused to be in
serted in most Of the newspapers a
notice to the effect that a certain
nobleman of wealth and high position
desirious of finding a wife, wanted
one ~ho resembled the heroine in the
novel above named. Thereupon ev-
cry manageable woman who saw
the notice bought the book in order
70 see what the heroine was like,
and the work had an immense sale.

The Presidents Praiseworthy Pru
dence

dence.
President Mckinley has shown
commendable discretion in invit-
ing TO the White House for con-
6dence and consultation the lead
ers of both parties in Congress.
"In a multitude of counsellors
there is safety"
Not only so, but in this case Con-
gress, as the representative OF the
people, deserves to be and must
be consulted. The power to de-
clare war and to provide money to
carry it on rests with Congress.
1t is ofthe highest importance that
in whatever stand the President
shall take in regard to Cuba and
the Maine incident he shall have
the united and earnest support Of
Congress and Of the people.
AN egotistic or ambitious Presi-
dent might undertake to mark out
his own course, expecting Con-
gress to sustain him without quss-
ton. There have been instances
ofthis kind in our history, but they
are not encouraging to independ-
ent action. In political crises the
President needs party at his back.
In an emergency involving the
national honor and duty the Presi-
den: needs the country behind
him.
In advising freely with the lead
ers in Congress Mr.. Mckinley has
displayed good sense and admir-
able sagacity.

Our COwardIy Policy.

We trust that the policy OF do
ing nothing and hoping for the best
in the interest OF the bondholders
may not turn out to be disastrous
to the country, now that the sail
ing Of the Spanish torpedo boats
has sufficiently demonstrated that
Spain means war. Where that tor
pedo feet is gong to strike no
body can tell, but our Dry Tortu-
gas fleet ought to be strengthened
as quickly as possible. Thirteen
torpedo boats, some running go
miles an hour whilst our ships
can hardly make fifteen, with the
harbor Of Havana behind them as
cover, and, in addition, all the
Spanish war vessels in Cuba and
vicinity, are not to be despjsed.
In the meantime Congress is
waiting for the report OF the blow
ing up Of the Maine. The theatri-
cal farce Of bringing up the report
to Washington which was set in
scene three weeks ago and which
will not end before three weeks
more, when a synopsis mot the
whole report) will be sent to Con-
gress, is amusing, or keeping up
the excitement of our people,
though now everybody, from the
President down. knows the great
"secret" that the Maine was blown
up by the Spanisrds.
All that time should have been
used in a manly, not childish, way,
just as Spain is doing. Troops
should have been massed in Flor
ida and ships should be ready 10
transport them over to Cuba. Old
Jackson's spirit should be alive
now all over the country.
Here at Washington they are
playing. Democratic leaders are
invited to the White House to con-
suit how to do nothing, and there
by become co-responsible for the
perhaps fatal policy ol the Admin
istration.
And all that will not prevent the
war, as everything indicates.

Worse than war.

According to the best evidence
we can get, according to the testi-
mony of Senator Proctor, accord
ing to the statement made last
Wednesday in the Senate by SEN
ator Gallinger, quoting the author
ity OF the Red Cross Society, not
less than 4a5, 900 Cubans have
died Of slow torture by starvation
since the infamous order OF Wey-
Ter sent the rural population to
concentrate in fortified towns.
According to the carefully pre-
pared statistics Of our civil war,
the total losses in killed and
wounded during the four years Of
struggle were not more than $780,
900 on the Union side and I33, 900
on the Confederate side.
This was the war which led
Sherman to declare that war was
"all hell" the war in which nearly
four millions OF men took part,
armed with every weapon OF war
which ingenuity could devise; the
war which lasted from April. 1861,
to April, 1865.
The Cuban death list has rolled
up its appalling figures in the
twenty-five months since May,
1896, when Weyler issued his first
order to the farmers to concentrate
in the cities under penalty Of death.

The Yukon. the geat river of Alaska,
is one of the mightiest streams of the
world. 1t is navigable for large steam
ers, as one unbroken flood 1865 miles
from it's mouth, to where the Lewes
and Pellv rivers unite to form it, or
farther than twice as far as to St.
Paul, and more than twice as far as
from New orleans to Chicago and
navigable for light draft boats hun
dreds of miles farther up each of these
arms. At its mouth it is about sixty
miles wide, and 1,400 miles above it is
from eight to ten miles in width. 1t
drains an empire of more than 500, 900
square miles and discharges nearly as
much water into the Bering Sea as
the Mississippi does into the Gulf OF
Mexico. Scores of mighty tributaries
many Of them navigable streams, pour
their waters into it's majestic channel
About 1850 miles above its mouth, the
