Washington, April 2I-War be-
tween the United States and Spain is
a fact, though not yet officially de-
clared by congress.
The stirring events of yesterday
were succeeded today with rapidity by
others of equal importance, culmina-
ting IN the afternoon in orders for the
departure of the North Atlantic squad
ron for Havana.
This, practically, is an act of war,
so that the war between this country
and Spain may fairly be said to date
from today. April FL.
Troops will be massed at Chicka-
manga before being sent South.
About 5000 troops at the above
place.
100, 900 volunteers will be called
for as soon as the volunteer army bill

can consuls have left Spain, turning

STAMPING OUT THE YELLOW LIES.

= ENERAL SKATER is the latest official who
Il I has been moved by just indignation to de-
~ nounce the fasehoods circulated by the yellow
press and a considerable number OF fusion dema-
gogues against the administration for an alleged IN
efficiency in the conduct of the war These attacks
the General characterzes simply outrageous, and
as lies.
There has been comparatively little OF that KIND OF
campaign abuse in circulation this coast, the yell
low Hearst organ being the only serious offender
but in the Eastern States appeared at one time as
if the whole Democratic campaign going to be
made out of that material.
SO numerous were the scandals, and so serious had
the lying become, that Attorney General Gr1ggs, IN
an address before the Republican convention OF New
Jersey devoted no little attention to it. After re-
errng to the authors of the alsehoods as towering
like buzzards the battle-helds and hospitals and
graveyards, looking only for the misery and suffer
ing and death which inevitable in war, he said
Surely the Democratic party has not been reduced
so low in its supply of proper subjects for political
discussion to need to rely upon yellow fever and
yellow literature
The action of the President in appointing a COM
mttee of of national repute for fairness and in
tegry to investigate the charges of the yellow jour
nails has had the effect of sencing great many OF
them. The announcement that the committee would
summon the authors of the charges to give evidence
put them in ar embarrassing position. Having no
proofs of their assertions to Offer they found it adj
vsable to hush up before the summons came
The whole course OF the yellow journals and yellow
campaigners this matter has, however, been too
dsgraceu for the public to overlook and forget It,
even though the sanderers for the time reduced
to silence. The people know that gross wrongs have
been inflicted upon the administration and the officers
of the army. and day of reckoning will come when
they will settle with the authors.
For the present, however the country will turn
willingly from that vile record of alsehood and spite
to the consideration of the great issues awaiting So
luton. The will take the advice given by Cen
eral Griggs in closing his address: Lift up your
eyes to the heights where glory is crowned The
genius of American liberty points to future preg-
nant with prodigious good to all mankind; to fresh
fields for the extension of American trade and COM
merce; openings for the investment of Amer-
capital; wider scope for the active energies of
American young men; to more frequent gllmpses OF
the American flag for voyagers the oceans, mer-
chant shipping multiplied manifold in the harbors of
the world; with navy large enough and. strong
enough enforce our just demands and the rights of
American citizens promptly and efficiently
as Dewey enforced the views of the Government in
Manila Bay"

"A MATTER OF BUSINESS"

Evidently the Bulletin is devoid of prin-
cple Processing to be Republican paper it
IL is supporting the Democratic nominee for
Mayor. This is done as matter OF business.
There is reason for believing that price was paid
the surprising circumstance being that the paper
would accept price for its untrammeed opinion, but
that anybody should have been caoled into paying
the price.
To emphasize its Repubicanism, the Bulletin now
comes out in favor of Barclay Henley for District At
torney. Henley is on the Democratic ticket, the
lection OF the Mayor The Canadian editor PROCESSES
to believe that Henley would be alert in bringing Of
tenders to justice Such an expression of belief can
rot be taken as sincere. The editor of the Bulletin
has himself been a gross offender. He deliberately
engineered a bunko scheme of which the business
men OF this community were the victims. People who
do such things do not want able prosecutor in
authority Surprising Crothers had been ably prose-
cuted He would now have been wearing stripes, for
as to his guilt there was no question. He would not
have been at liberty to sell himself or even to Of
fer himself for sale. Hence we may be pardoned for
doubling that his recommendation OF Henley as
man who would corral the rascas comes from the
heart. Crothers does not want to be corraled.
Two years ago the Bulletin asked $4,000 for sup
porting the Republican ticket, which shows the brand
of its Repubcanlsm. There is no reason to suppose
il has reformed. Indeed there is every reason for
thinking that il has once more been in the market
and this time found purchaser With Crothers it is
all a matter of business"
