T. MOORHEAD SON, Editors and Proprietors. OFFICE ON NORTH SEVENTH STREET. WEDNESDAY, APRIL 20, 1898 The Latest. The latest war news as we go to press at 10 a.

is that the Dous are ordered to get out of Cuba without further delay and that the National Guards are to be called out. War news on the first and fourth pages. Holy and Unholy War. Is war always a crime? Are all wars unholy History answers the question. The Declaration of Independence was a declaration of war, but it was not a crime.

The war of the Eevo lution was not unholy. W-ar waged by an alien power to perpetuate its despotism over a sub ject race is always unholy. War waged in behalf of freedom, of self-government, of law and order, to end oppression, misrule, plunder and savagery, is a holy war in itself. It is doubly justified if it is free from the taint of selfishness, the greed of acquisition or the lust of power. Such is the war if it can properly be called a war which the people of this country are willing to undertake for the benefit of the people of World.

persons think that the senate should not have recognized the Cuban government, saying that they do not have a government worthy of recognition and that they do not have a national capital. In the early history of America, when we were fight ing with Great Britain for our liberties, our national capital was portable also. In this recognition they are not approving or endorsing the Cuban government, but recognizing it. Imperfect as it is, it must be admitted that it has cohesive power sufficient to enable the Cubans to wage war successfully against Spain for three years raising and equipping its army, providing subsistence and controlling its people better than the Spaniards. When the Cubans are recognized and have the assurance that they will be protected and treated as human beings, it is but natural to believe that they will improve and change some of their present forms of government.

THE gallant soldier boy of our late war. Col. Wni. A. Stone, had another brilliant victory given him by the Republicans of Montgomery county at their primary elections last Saturday.

It is quite a compliment when you remember that is the county in which Mr. Wana- niaker resides most of his time. Col. Stone now needs less than 30 delegates to secure his nomination. who called upon kirn at the war department, on Saturday, when the modified Hull bill for the expansion of the army in time of war was under consideration.

Secretary Alger thinks that such a course is in keeping with sound discretion and the dictates of common sense, for the organized militia have gone tc great expense and have devoted much time to perfecting themselves for military duty. Any other course, he believes, would be destructive to the best interests of the guard. As far as practicable the state organizations entering the volunteer service will remain intact, the governors of the various states being per mitted, as they were in 1861, to designate the regimental officers, which will include those of the grades of second lieutenants to colonels. The president will preserve to himself the right to appoint the staff and field officers. Many applications have been made to the wai department for permission to volunteer, and among men of all creeds, nationalities and politics there is an expressed in; tention and desire to uphold the hono" and the integrity of the flag of the re public.

It was stated that the first call foi troops would be for 80,000 men, which, it is believed, will exhaust the entin available strength of the national guan, at this time, after deducting those wh are sick and otherwise incapacitated immediate service. The total strength of the guard as reported to the war department is men. ARMY ON WAR FOOTING. But There Is No Hope of Peace at Madrid.

Bill Ready For Congress to Make tlx Necessary Changes. WASHINGTON, April war d- partment bill to provide for temporarily increasing the military establishment ir time of war is ready for to congress. In time of war the army is to consist of two branches, the regular and tlie volunteer army, the latter to be maintained only during the existence of wai or while war is imminent and is to be raised and organized only after congress authorizes it. All enlistments for the volunteer army are to be for three years unless sooner terminated. All the regimental-1 and company officers army are to be appointed by the president, upon the recommendations of the governors of the states in which their respective organizations are raised.

MADRID, April is known in diplomatic circles here that European diplomacy is making a despairing effort to preserve peace, but noting is expected of it among those whose political ore- sasts are worth serious consideration. It is a matter of comparative indifference to the Spanish people whether the policy of the United States is one of immediate annexation or of liberation. It aims at least at the destruction of Spanish sovereignty in Cuba. Spain cannot tamely give up her sovereign rights without a struggle. On that point all parties are agreed, and all are ready to sink their differences and to support the government loyally in its defense of the national honor.

With a clear perception of what the ultimate issue of the struggle must be, they remain firm in their resolve of resistance to the utmost coute qua coute. (At any cost). At the cabinet council Senor Sagasta, the premier, submitted a draft of the PERSONAL BREVITIES, Mr. D. W.

They will bear honor to themselves and the state that they represent. OUR senators, Quay and Penrose, voted for recognizing the independence of Cuba. We think our senators by their votes faithfully represented the will of the majority of their constituents.

Concerning the national guard it is pro- vided that when the members of any! company or regiment of the organized militia shall enlist in the volunteer army in a body, as such company or regiment, the regimental and conipany officers in service with the militia- 1 organization thus enlisting may be appointed by the president, subject to an examination as to fitness and capacity, to be officers of corresponding grades in the same organization when it ia re- ceived in the service as a part of the volunteer army. The troops in time of war, whether belonging to the regular or volunteer, army, or to the militia, are to be orga-' uized into divisions of three brigades, each brigade to be composed of three or more regiments and when three or more divisions are assembled in the same army the president is to organize them into army corps, each corps to consist of not more chan three divisions. The president to appoint in the volunteer army not e'-ceedlng one major general for each organized army corps and division and one brigadier general for each brigade, to be selected from the regular or volunteer army or the militia SENOR POLO LEAVES TODAY. speech from the throne. Its tenor is not precisely known, though it makes an appeal to the highest patriotism of the nation.

It summarizes the international problem and points out that Spain has always presented an accommodating front in everything which did not diminish her sovereignty, though she only agreed to grant a cessation of hostilities in Cuba when the pope made his request and the powers joined in counseling it. The speech from the throne appeals of the volunteer i tlie am 'sh people to rally around the young king, save the country, and to grant to the government everything which may be necessary and urgent to defend the national honor and integrity. The Spanish Minister Going to Canada to Await Events. WASHINGTON, April Polo Bernabe, the Spanish minister, in-1 formed his government of the nature of the congressional resolutions, and after getting a reply from Madrid announced his purpose leave Washington today i with all his legation for Canada, whtjre he will remain for a time observing the progress of events in this country i the-, bcn-efit of his government.

(5) AX INTERESTING PAPER Read by Dr. Hall Be tore tlie Ministerial Association, Monday. The most important feature of Monday's meeting of the ministerial association, held in the Presbyterian church, was the paper read by Rev. Dr. Hall, the subject of which was "A Half Hour with an Old Stoic." The paper claimed the attention of all the members present.

It discussed the philosophy of the stoics and their influence in the formation of character as shown in the life and history of Marcus Aurelius Antonius, a renowned Roman governor and general of the second century. Reference was made to some of his works. The paper was thoroughly enjoyed by all present and several ministers made reference to it in brief addresses. Three new members were added to the roll of the association. They are Rev.

Riedel, of Ambrose; Rev. Saum, of Sample Run, and Rev. Kinter, of this place. At his own request Rev. Baud was allowed optional attendance.

At the next meeting, which will be held in the First United Presbyterian church on Monday afternoon, May 2, Rev. Lewis Hay will read a paper. Hats trimmed in the latest spring styles at Kaufman's millinery store. A. Good Opening.

The opening ceremony is expected to be of an exceedingly interesting nature, in view of the crisis. The cabinet discussed various dispatches relating to the Cuban question and the attitude of the United States.

Senor Moret, secretary for the colonies, read a dispatch from General Blanco containing unfavorable news with regard to the attitude of the Cuban rebels. It seems that when the American senate commenced the discussion of and voted in favor of the recognition of Cuban independence, the rebels abandoned their intention of yielding to Spain in return for a broader measure of autonomy, and there is a general popular distress here as to any outcome of the negotiations with the rebels. News respecting the progress of events in America is anxiously awaited, bnt in any case the government will maintain a firm attitude and will.act energetically. It is pointed out that weakness at the present time would be fraugnt with the utmost danger. The debate in the Spanish chambers will be commenced either Saturday or Monday next.

News of fresh encounters in the province of Cebu, in the Philippines, has been received by the government, thus proving the existence of revolutionary centers in that district. Two aristocratic families at Barcelona have contributed to the national subscription for the army. VENICE, April Carlos, in an interview here, which is mainly a repetition of his manifesto, declared that Spain had mismanaged the Cuban difficulty from the first. "She should have sought a casus belli a year ago," he said, "when the United States were unprepared and should have have had tn.e courage to bombard New York and to disembark troops upon the coast of Florida. The United States would have then given way.

If Spain were now to be vanquished, Cuba would share the fate of Texas and Louisiana and be absorbed by the anglo- Saxon element." In reply to a question as to what would happen to Spain after a disastrous war, Don Carlos said: "The future is in the hands of God, but Spaniards would not be likely to rebel against the government which had known how to vindicate the old Castilian honor." SPANISH FORTIFYING CUBA. (Jen. Peace Fando Fails to Arrange Terms With the Rebels. HAVANA, April work of fortifying the coasts of Cuba, from a Spanish standpoint, is progressing rapidly and effectively. As anticipated by almost everybody, General Pando, the Spanish Commander-in-chief in the field, has returned here after a number of useless efforts to prevail upon the insurgents to arrange terms for peace, and many people here predict that the efforts of the autonomist government will prove equally fruitless.

The insurgents maintain the stand which they have held all aloag, namely, that they will not accept anything short of independence.

I Hastings' Planing Mill. Indiana, April 20, 1898. There is one instrument on which "no clever has ever learned to play" and that is a second fiddle. We also claim that our doors- made with mortises that go clear through the stiles, and tenon that fill the mortises, and when glued, pinned and wedged, play no second fiddle 1 to any doors made here or elsewhere. The doors made with a few oafe- pins glued ends of the rails are apt to come loose and fell apart, They are made in that way to save money to the manufacturer and those who sell them.

They play second fiddle to any door made with tenons running through the stiles. "We- also make our own sash, our own flooring, our own siding, our own mouldings, in fact- anything you may need in our line we have the material and the machinery to mamt- facture and then the beauty of it is that we sell our goods as cheap, if not cheaper, thanr the doors and sash made in a cheap manner. A man or woman seldom builds more than one house and don't you think it would pay to get good doors, good sash, good flooring, siding and moulding when you can get the best as cheap as the inferior article? This is the time to buy building material. If we have a war, which is very likely, you will see prices go-up with a bound, so come in and buy your lumber now, even though yon don't want to build at this time you may save 30 per cent by so doing. Yours truly, JOHN S.
