He is inclined to regard the Maine affair as an incident, to pass it over for the present and seek to secure peace in Cuba by means of negotiations with Spain.

The Spanish torpedo boat flotilla has started from the Canary islands to Cuba and the American navy is being placed on a war footing. Admiral Sicard has been retired oh account of disability.

England Looks for War. LONDON, March is little hope here that hostilities can bo averted between the United States and Spain and it is believed the revelation officially made regarding the destruction of the Maine will so combine the other factors of the situation, as to make war inevitable, though it is still regarded as possible that Spain, at the lust moment will see the hopelessness of maintaining their position and yield to the inevitable.

Who Oivns the U.

8. Patent Office? DES MOINES, March frequently hear complaints about the manner in which officers serve the people. Men elevated from the rank of private life to positions of trust, honor and emolument often assume an air of importance and haughtiness that is quite offensive to the humble citizen who, as one of the sovereign people has a right to expect civility in his intercourse with every public servant cross-roads postmaster up to president. Men who honor their office have the good sense to remember that tho poorest and humblest citizen should be served as courteously and faithfully as the proudest and wealthiest aristocrat. But, alas, how many dishonor their places and are servile and fawning to tho influential and indifferent, condescending or haughty to common people.

And o.ften the lower the grade of the office the larger the degree of self-importance manifested Deputies and clerks frequently put on airs that principals are too modes tand sensible to assume. Occasionally we are glad to know, official importance and insolence gets wholesome rebuke from the dignity of private citizenship An instance of this kind occurred in tho corridors of the United States patent office and may serve as a lesson to all public servants who forget their duty. Early one morning an humble inventor and public benefactor was walking up and down in the hall quite complacently waiting for the doors to be opened. An official approached him with a look intended to annihilate the early caller and asked: "Do j'ou belong to the patent office?" The offended citizen with true manly dignity turned on his insolent interrogator and replied: "No, sir! The patent office belongs to other citizens the United States!" IOWA LEGISLATURE. SENATE.
