The Crisis Fast Approaching.

the Crisis Fast Approaching.
A Havana dispatch d a tie d
Feb. % says "The outlook in
Cuba does not grow more
promising. The exact state
ment is that the government
officials were never so much
disturbed as today. This is
partly due to information from
Washington and Madrid. News
from those places which is per-
mitted to reach the public is so
meagre that better judgments
can be formed in the United
States than here as to whether
their fears are exaggerated.
Local developments justify the
serious view Gen. Blanco and
his associates are said to take
of the probability of fresh CONF
plications. !
The statement that divers
have penetrated the forward
part of the Maine and found
nothing in the magazines there
to indicate an explosion seems
to be verified. Attention is al
so given to testimony regarding
vibration under water before
the Maine went to pieces. Ev-
idence as to this fact is en-
phatic. How far it justifies the
belief that the explosion came
from underneath the ship ex-
perts may be left to to deter
mine. The point has not yet
been reached where a definite
opinion can be formed regard
ing the construction of such a
system, bat; it has not been
fsifted. The representatives of
foreign nations are following
the naval investigation as we'll
as other phases of the situation
closely and are understood to
to be making daily reports to
their governments. Spanish
officials were surprised at the
firmness with which the Wash
inRton administration declined
to admit them to a share in the
investigation.
A still later dispatch from
havana, says Counsel-G General
Lee has Informally advised
Americans not necessarily. de-
tanned here to leave for h9l,ae

Wriggl1ng for Office.


Abraham Lincoln said: "If
this free people, il this govern
ment itself, is ever utterly de-
moralized, it will come from
the men that wriggle and strive
for office" What was true
when Mr.. Lincoln uttered these
words is emphasized in these
latter days. The scramble for
office still continues, and more
than ever before honor, man
hood, and self-respect are sac
rificed.
The danger in Lincoln's time
was not from the radical and
aggressive elements of either
party, but from those who re-
sorted to trickery aud disrepu-
table schemes. to gain place.
In this day a more dangerous
form of deceit is practiced. To
be successful in the political
field often means to put on the
mask of hypocrisy and use de-
ception to the utmost. Men
protesting to be patriots and
disinterested reformers use the
cloak Of reform. to veil meth
ode lower than any adopted by
machine politicians to- work
themselves and their apherents
into office. More often than
otherwise the cry Of reform is
raised by a hypocritical rascal
simply for the purpose of hood
wvinking a thoughtless multi
tude. A campaign is organi-
zed, without any responsible
head, en- the basis of an indi-.i!
vidual's aninosity or prejudice.
or disappointment. To forward
his personal ends, to accom-
plish his private revenges, the
place hunter raises the cry of
,refor1n; he voices his hostility

neal tn ,reiudice. and in. deal

the ball ground. We think the boys have
tried to play ball long enough on the
park as it is not suitable for diamond,
and as such value is placed on one poor
sickly tree that ball playing is out oil
question on the park. The boys are en-
titled to ground and have got along
many years without one. Now every.

boys will appreciate it.
