TIE situation is very warlike at
present. The Presidents Message
communicated to Congress Monday
asked Congress to authorize the
President TO take measures to secure
the termination of hostilities in Cuba
and to secure the establishment of a
stable government there, and to use
the military and naval forces of the
United States Tor those purposes.
SPANS decree for a suspension OF
hostilities was submitted for careful
consideration. The Maine incident
figured prominently in the message,
the President arguing that the wreck
of the Maine in Havana harbor shows
hal Spain is o able to guarantee
security to foreign vessels. Reso.
lutions calling for the independence
of Cuba and armed Intervention pass.
ed the House of Representatives by
. vote of 324 10 20. Similar reso-
lutions were introduced in the
Senate but were laid over until to-
day Z; they are sure to pass. These
resolutions are virtually a declaration
OF war. SPAN answers very firmly,
and declares the Presidents Message
an interference in the internal
affairs of the nation. Preparations
for war continue. The flying squad
ron is held in readiness for immediate
action. The United States has pur.
chased the fast American line steam
ers st. Paul and ST. Louis.

GraduatIOns i'm Indecency.
Aberdeen News.

Aberdeen News.
The climax of blind partisanship
has been reached by the Minneapolis
Times, and that paper a now con-
graduate itself upon having gradu-
ated with the highest markings from
the school Of indecency and intern
perance. At this ~juncture in the
affairs Of the nation, which calls for
the exercise, if not of patriotism, at
least of soEe show of national pride,
it has given utterance to language
towards the president of the United
States that should call down the
contempt of every right-minded
citizen of the republic. To charac.
terize the chief executive of this
nation as a liar, q coward, and to
G barge him with imbecility, is at all
times reprehensible and at this par
tisular time an outrage on all the
people. The Times and the Sioux
Falls Press, which quotes the Times
sentiments approviugIy, have placed
themselves on record as the lowest
and vilest publications on the con-
tinent. Weyler himself has been
prevented by eve his british stan
dard of morals from saying anything
half as reprehensible.

Lieutenant Governor, and receiving
some very cordial endorsements from

ment is also made that he is to be

certainly has our best wishes, but we
advise him to keep his eye on John

Free SILVER Republicans Kicking.

Lead Morning Call q rec %silverl.
The fact is, this free silver repuo-
lean element does not propose to
drag any more chestnuts out OF the
FIRE Tor the purpose Of feeding a
hungry horde Of populist statesmen.
They must have representation in
the future, at least to the extent OF
being recognized, or else they will
act for themselves. If the pops have
bloated themselves up to that point
where they imagine they can con
tinuaIIy use the free silver element
of this country as a foot rug, they
are likely to wake up some day and
fl nd their mistake. The free silver
re publieans left the republican party
because they believed the party to
be wrong as regards the financial
question. They left a DONNA mt
party and aligned themselves with a
party they knew could not be sue
cessful in 1896, and consequently
they cannot be accused of having
left the republican party with the
hope of future reward. The man
ner IN which this element has been
treated by the pops of the state has
been most intolerable from the first,
and if the alliance is to be continued
in the future, a different state of
affairs must exist than that which
has prevailed during the past two
years,

BEG|NaING THE NEW LIFE
Commencement Exercises OF the
Columbian University.
AMID FLOWERS AND FLAGS
The ACCOMPLISHMENTS Annual Grndu-
ution Ceremonies of the Unfver-
sity One of the SEost Memorable in
Its Exfstence-List of Graduates
and Honors.

The seventy-seventh annual commence
nnent exercises of the different depart
ments of the Columbian University which
took place last evening at Convention Hall
was an occasion never TO be forgotten by
those who were present. This is especially
true of the graduates who, under the
brilliant glow of thousands of vari-col-
ored electric lights and a profusion of
national colors and amid the plaudits of
thousands of admiring friends. passed
from the "old college days" to the thresh-
old of a new life to face the realities of
a stern. cold world.
The closing exercises is an event in
educational circles in the Capital City,
and is always looked forward to with
pleasure and interest. 1t is the one COM
mencement day that all Washingtonians
in some way or other are directly in
terested in. so ii was no surprise that the
occasion was graced by one of the most
uagnificent audiences which possibly ever
attended similar event in this city.
The hall was crowded to its utmost ca
pacitv: in fact no other auditorium in
washington would have accommodated
the audience. Nor did Convention Hall
ever present more beautiful appear
ance. 1t was brilliantly Illuminated with
thousands of vari-colored electric lights
and handsomely decorated. The decora-
tions consisted of four large streamers
extending from the center to the corners
of the hail, each streamer being made
up of naval signals composing the pro-
phetic words, Remember the Maine"
formed of national colors.
Long before the hour announced for the
exercises TO begin, the immense audience
commenced pouring into Convention Hall,
and by the time the commencement pro-
cession was ready to move, the grand
auditorium and the large gallery on the
north side were comfortably filled. In the
meantime, while the audience was as
sembling, delightful music was furnished
by the National Guard brigade band.
A choir Of about one hundred voices,
composed of the young ladies and gen.
tlemen of the university. under the lead
ership of Mr.. Donald Mcleod. sang ''The
Star Spangled Banner and other ma
tional airs during the evening. Each
member of the choir was armed with a
small banner in the university colors and
waved them enthusiastically whenever
opportunity permitted
The faculty and the candidates for de-
grees formed in the old armory building
and at $50 o'clock came in and were
ready To move up the center aisle to their
seats on the immense stage at the south
end of the hail. The graduates in pairs

halting at the stage. The ranks then
opened and the faculty entered, headed
