Waiting for Tidings.

~ HIS mornings contribution is
nothing more substantial than
the summing up OF a day OF
anxious waiting that brought no news.
Rumors came thick and fast yesterday;
contradictions followed them. There
we're announcements of very mys;eri-
Gus cannonading at one port or another
In the West Indies. rumors. by way of
Madrid, Of a battle, reports from abroad
Of a Spanish defeat with a heavy Amer
lean loss. denials from men in official
circles at Washington and conflicting
stories concerning the movements of the
fleets. The public could not resist the
opinion, yesterday. that there had been
a battle, hut nobody undertook to say
where II occurred or to guess how 1t
came out. As far as any reliable in
formation goes. the opposing fleets may
have been hundreds of miles apart yes
terday. yet the mistaken popular opin-
ion was last night. when the inquiries
at the newspaper offices ended for the
day. that something highly significant
must have happened. What is printed
this morning adds practically nothing
to the news, so far as those are con
cerned who, at this moment. are the
chief actors in the war. No man can
guess when tidings will come or what
their import will be.

methods of doing business are said by
Consul Hyatt to be among the wants
Of cuba; and with the onward march
OF civilization these will doubtless be
hers in the near future. Cuba. like
other tropical and semitropical coun-
tries, is not given TO manufacturing;
her people would rather sell the pro-
ducts of the soil and mines and buy
manufactured goods. The possibilities
of the island are great. while the prob
abilities remain an unsolved problem.

That Second Call.

q P1TE of all the predictions to the
~ effect that more volunteers will
soon be called for. II seems not
likely that the president will be in a
hurry to summon more recruits to serv-
ice. Promptly at the outbreak of the
army was increased TO a total OF more
than sixty thousand. The presidents
call for volunteers was a request for
125. 900 men. Besides. there were the
engineers. the mounted rifiemen. the ten
thousand yellow fever immunes and
others. the entire body making up a
force Of more than two hundred thou
sand men.
II is reported that about one hundred
thousand of those who have enlisted are
now mustered in. Here Is a force that
ought to meet heavy emergencies. when
II is equipped and drilled and some
what seasoned for service. For that
matter. so much remains TO be done in
making a good fighting force out Of the
thousands already enlisted tina the au
thorities are not likely TO add to tn,

There are plenty of good men read,

Call IL Saturday.

~ HE other day, at a meeting OF
clergymen in an eastern city. a
resolution was introduced In
which the government was requested to
avoid battles on Sunday. This resolu-
ton did not receive a favorable vote
the majority OF those who composed the
meeting where ID was introduced evil
IDENTIFY did not want to add to the bur-
den Of embarrassments under which the
ing business.
OF course, this resolution found its
suggestion in the fact that Dewey's vic
tory at Manila goes on record as a Sun
day performance. And here comes up
a pertinent fact. DR.. Poor Of Johns Hop
fnds that Manila time is thirteen hours
twelve minutes and two seconds ahead
OF Washington time. and that Hong
Kong time Is about t~wenty-eight min
utes slower than the lime at Manila.
The difference grows out Of the gain or
loss of a day In passing the meridian.
which Is $50 degrees from Greenwich, or
half way around the globe from the
English observatory which governs geo
graphical measurements and time.
SO that, when IT was 6 o'clock Sunday
morning. At the scene of Dewey's
battle, It was 4:4s o'clock Saturday
afternoon at Washington. Therefore
those who wan to console themselves
with the rejection. a reckon that
from their standpoint or from the tes-
timony OF their calendar. Dewey made
his fight at Manila on Saturday after
noon.

the understanding and belief of the i'm

child has no such comfort. 1t sees
death in all OF its awfulness, without a

to make little child understand that
its mother has gone to beautiful home
in heaven to live when it has seen her

ONCE IN A WHILE.

II is easy enough bSbe pleasant,
When life flows by like song,
But the man worth while is the one
who will smile
When everything goes all wrongR
For the test of the heart is trouble,
And it always comes with the years,
And the smile that is worth the praises
of earth
Is the smile that shines through tears
1t is easy enough to be prudent,
When nothing tempts you to stray
When without or within no voice OF sin
Is Turing your soul away.
But it's only negative virtue
Until it is tried by fire,
And the life that Is worth the honor OF
earth
Is the one that resists desire.
BY the cynic, the sad, the fallen,
Who had no strength for the strife
The worlds highway is numbered, to-
day.
They make up the item of life.
But the virtue that cOnquers passion,
And the sorrow that hides in smile,
II is these that are worth the homage
of earth,
Fer we find them but once in while.
