hind him have stood seventy five
millions of people, confident in
him, confident in the patriotism OF
the people, true and faithful to tho
loyalty that has come to US from
thousand battle fields that saved

is! I .;;lil some days ago that [

pie. [ have always. felt that the
actions of 1861 and 1865 we're
poorly done; that the blood was
ill-expended, if at the end Of this
long period we had not a united
nation. Thank God! I have
lived to see the hour come, the
day dawn, the sun Of unity rise
and shine, and universal loyalty
the watchword of every man, wo-
man and child. The American
people will arise to any emergency
in the futnre. Money beyond es-

The report Of the investigation
of the civil service by the commit
tee on civil service was presented
to the senate by it's chairman,
Senator Pritchard. It starts off
by saying that as the executive
has power to make notifications
in the rules no legislation is need
ed, and follows with recommends
tions as to large list of offices
that should be excluded from the
classified service; and says the
government printing office was
never legally in that service.

Washington Letter
(From Onr Regular Correspondent
WAsH1NGroN. Mar. II. 1898.

"Old Glory was never more ir
evidence than right now. BEHIND
the $50, 100000, by unanimous vote
of both branches of congress-a
vote of confidence in a president
unparalleled in the history Of this
or any other country--placed al
the disposal of President McKin
Icy, to be used as he may deem
best in putting the country in 6
position to defend itself, is unlim'
tied money and an army of ter
millions of the best fighting men
who ever shouldered gun, which
the president can have whenevel
in his judgement he needs them.
The United States is seeking no
war with Spain or any other con-
try, and as Representative Cannon,
of Illinois, 50 truly said, would
not, if it could, trench upon the
rights of any other nation but it
will uphold it's own national honor
regardless of who attacks it, and
regardless Of what blood and mon
ey: it may cost. Even if the $780,
600, 900 just appropriated by con-
gress were to be dumped into the
middle of the Atlantic, the manner
in which that appropriation was
made would be worth every dollar
of the money as an object lesson
to the rest of the world on the
danger Of trying to presume too
far upon the peace loving DISPOSE
ton Of the American people. Its
effect will be seen for years to
come in increased respect shown
to the American flag by the ma
tions Of the world.
It is too early to speak with GER
tatnty Of the effect Of this prompt
and unanimous action Of congress

yet to be received by the president
and acted upon, and the question
of whether we shall intervene
peaceably,if possible,or by FORGET
bring about peace in Cuba, is yet
to be determined, and as either may
bring about war the administra'
ton is going ahead preparing fol
war, just as though war was a cor.
tainty. The presence Of the U: S.
cruiser Montgomery IN the harbo1
of Havana is an indication that no
backward steps are to be takeu by
President Mckinley. Spain has
this week made several clean back
downs, notably in withdrawing it's
request for the recall of Consul
General Lee, after President Nc
Kinley had refused it, and ofici-
ally announcing that it had been
made under a Misrepresentation.
This indicates that it may follow
the same line of tactics in meeting
any future demands of the presi-
dent and consequently that war
may be avoided, although it may
mean that Spain is ''playing pos
sum-" because it isn't ready to

Thanks to the Dingley tariff and
to Secretary Cages able manage
ment of the country's finances, the
treasury is not only in a condition
to pay out the money appropriated
by congress at once, but to pay ev-
cry dollur of it in gold,an what is
better, to pay out as much more,
without in the slightest degree
hampering it's own or the business
of the country-a thing that would
have been impossible at any time
during the last administration. In
asmuch as a considerable portion
of this money may be spent in Eu-
rope for ships and munitions Of
war, the ability to pay gold is a
good thing for us: The US. trea-
sury now has $l68, 100000 in gold
in it's vaults. r..
None of the short speeches
which preceded the unanimous ap-
preparation of $5O,000,000 by the
house to be expended at the dis
erection of the president, we're re-
ceived with quite as much enthu-
siasm as that made by Gen. Gros-
venor, of Ohio, and no portion of
his speech aroused quite as much
enthusiasm as much enthusiasm as
the following reference to the
president and the united country
behind him: "Thus far he has
made no mistake. Thus far he
has exhibited to the whole world

ment Of the American people.
