that the explosion itself of tho Maine was linked with n ecrlcB of precedent transactions which can not In reason be disconnected from It- With animus by Spain so plainly apparent that no ono can even plausibly deny Us exist once It Is merely one reason for the conclusion to which the Investigating mind must come in concerning the entire subject ot the relations ot the United States with that

willing and gross as to bo equivalent in culpability to positive cam Inal action When property and life are destroyed by an act which the exercise ot duo diligence by the person whoso duty It IN to

thoMaino should swing within tho destructive radius of thin mine Concluding this portion of i ts pres entation the committee says The duplicity perfidy and cruelty of the Spanish character as they always have been are demonstrated still to continue by theli manifestations during the present war in Cuba All these circumstances considered cumulative ly warrant the conclusion that the destruction

san guinary destructive and cruel barbarities In Cuba he reached the conclusion that the recog nition of tile Indcpendeuc3 of Cuba was 1m practloibla anti Indefensible and that tho recognition of belligerency was not warranted pUbliDIuwpointlegdangers of a recognition of belllgcranco which while adding to the already onerous burdens of neutrality within our own jurisdiction could not In any way extend our Innuendo or effective offices In tho territory of hostilities Views Have Not Chanced Nothing has since occurred to change my View In this regard and I recognize liS fully now us then that tho Issuance of a proclamation of neutrality by which process the socalled recognition belligerence Is published could of Itself and unattended by other action accomplish nothing toward the ono

Monday after the transmission of the Presidents message to Con gress states well and clearly the tenor of the message and describes i its reception and how it has grown in favor with our statesmen The issue is now with Congress The President has not disappointed the public He has declared that the war in Cuba must stop He recommends no further delay The summing up of hisI message is that intervention is the only remedy It asks authority to use the military and naval forces of the United Slates as may be necessary I have exhausted every effort to relieve the intolerable condition of affairs which Is at our doors be tells Congress Prepared to execute every obligation Imposed upon me by the constitution and the law I await your action What more could the warmaking power ask of a patriotic President Yet there is some grumbling among Senators and Representatives The message was promptly characterized as weak by several who lis tened It was not weak It was solemn without appeal to passion but pointing unerringly straight to the conclusion thai the only hope of relief and repose from a condition that can no longer be endured is the enforced pacification of Cuba The President Indulged in no jln oish sentiment He did not wave the flag or let the eagle scream He pointed out in the plainest of language that in the name of humanity in the name of civilization in behalf of endangered American inter cats which give us the right and the duty to speak and act the war in Cuba must stop At to Recognition One of the first crlticims of the Presidents message made by some members of Congress was that he said nothing about independence Yet in one place the Presi dent put himself on record in these words after explaining why recognition before Intervention would be inexpedient When it shall appear hereafter that there is within the island a government capable of performing the duties and dis charging the fuhctipris of a seperato nap lion and having as n m3terof fact the proper forms and attributes of nation iliij such government can be promptly and readily recognized and the relations and interests of the United States with uch nation adjusted I h And when be came to Jii fonlIml asked for authority to use thrniUUrytiind be1lakenlishment of a stable government capable of maintaining order and of observing its international obligations How any one could read these words and think the President contemplated anything but independence of Cuba is amazing But some did They said wildly and fool- Ishly the President meant to coerce the in surgents and to leave Spanish authoiity in control A province has no interna tional obligations The message Is all right The people of the country will like it They will see Americanism in every lino of it This dis jointed Inharmunions inconsistent criti clam by Congress today was due to the querulous nervous condition of the body of statesmen Some of these Senators and Representatives had worked them selves into a morbid slate of mind through apprehension that the President was no going to be equal to the emergency And when he did exactly the right thing and just what had been promised they failed for the hour to recognize it A strange development of sentiment followed First came a wave of disappointment manifest ing itself in some rash odd expressions Then came more careful reading The message grew in favor Tonight mem bers are revising their first impressions The message is vindicating itself It is all right Written For the World One fact about the peoples treatment must bo kept in mind It helps to the understanding The message was written not alone for the United States for Spain and for Cuba but for the world It must class with the gravest of state papers In a statement of reasons for war there is no room for other than the perfectly dispassionate As to the armistice artifice the correspondent says that an hour after the message went to Con gress in which the President sug gested that that body could give the armistice affair just and care ful attention i lie received the text ot the Spanish proclamation Not until then was Spains duplicity in this matter known It was a trick of the Spanish and meant nothing And the writer adds If the President had known this morn what he knows tonight be would hardly have dignified this Spanish artifice with a postscript Certainly he would not have suggested that it receive just and careful attentionThe issue is with Congress FOR TilE REPUBLICAN SUMMATION Hon George W Jolly a Candi date for Congress in the Second District

Articles of Food and Live Animals Greatly Decreased UNDER DINGLEY TARIFF LAW American ftarkct Preserved for American Products Special correspondence Washington April ixWhule every man and woman is interested in the exciting subjects which have been prominently before the pub lic during the past month it may be interesting to turn aside for a moment to con sider that subject which at this time last year was engrossing public attention the new tariff It is a subject which will especi ally interest the farmers jus t now for the new law having been in operation for more than a halfyear it is practicable to begin to meas ure its effect upon all classes and especially upon the great indus tries of agriculture and manufacturing The Treasury Department has just issued a statement covering in detail the operations of the new law during the first halfyear of its work also showing the importations and exportations for January of the present year It is especially interesting to the farmer be cause it gives him an insight into the work of the new tariff law com paredwith that which preceded it and particularly as to Its effect upon his own industry Some facts relative to the first six months work of the law have been already alluded to but it is well enough in this connection to point out the fact that the total importations of articles of food and live animals in the first halfI year of the new law fell nearly 20000000 as compared with theI corresponding six months of theI preceding year under the Wilson law It is proper to assume that the new law had come into a fair working order by the time it reached its sixth month and as the Treasury report just issued covers the sixth month of its operation in detail wd will consider that alone comparing it with the corresponding month of the preceding year under the Wilson law The sixth month under the new tariff law is January 1898tThe articles of food and live animals imported in January 1898t the Dingley law amounted o

Slaughtersville Coal mining is regarded as very danger ous work yet we bear of but few miners who are now willing to trade their job for that of a soldier to fight the Spaniards In ejlimating the religious fervor of the season makes a vast difference whether the individual has an old stock ol coal or a new stock of bonnets to dispose of In the Chicago agreement the wage adjusters lost sight of the fact that the driver was as much one of the mining force as the digger and failed to provide for him re ceiving an additional recompense for his labors As a result trouble is brewing Actions speak louder than words is an old saying that generally proves true So when one sees another continually vise iting saloons or other resorts where intox icants are sold tben it is wo feel at liberty to form our opinion as to the object of those visits The Monarch Coal Companys mines and machinery was sold last week and be came the properly of the former owners The mining right as we understand it is that the party operating the mine is to pay the owners of said mineral rights a royalty of six cents per ton About five thousand dollars was the bid accepted President Knight of the Indiana United Mine Workers accompanied by a socalled leader from Central City spent a few hours here one day last week Mr Knight always conducts himself as a gentleman would when here and while he holds opinions at variance with the coal opera tors as regards the organization of labor be never tries to force his views on those who disagree with him The result of his visit here and at Madisonvillo was not at all satisfactory in the way of perfecting organization or even encourage him to do so if reports be true Brazil Ind GAbollt 630 em ployes in the machine mines of this county met in mass convention here this afternoon to consider the proposition made by the operators which was 29 = a ton for shooting and loading coal The miners demanded 38C Today they decided to suspend work and placed their grievance in the hands of the executive board to settle with in structions to holdout for the ad vanced rate A meeting of the execu tive board and operators will be held soon and in case of a disagreement the national officers will be appealed to As the differences between the machine men and operators is so great it is believed that a settlement is almost impossible- A close perusal or inspection of this column for years past will reveal the tact that we have always tried to keep within bounds of the truth and while we admit we have no use for labor organizations that are controlled by selfish motives alone on the part of the walking delegate Our endeavor in the past has been to present rumors as such and facts as they came to our notice in a fair and impartial manner governed of course by our own observa fob of the success or failure attending the work of socalled friends of labor When recentlywe made mention that the Central miners bad struck or contemplatedI doing so we said so on at band and we have yet failed to receive re liable information to the contrary not withstanding the fact that the agitator denies it Facts like these that eminate From headquarters naturally cast reflec tions on his leadership and touches ono in a sore spot On the contrary if the work ing of the organization could show that their object was at all times the best of wages and by the existence of peace and harmony friends of labor would point with pride to them and lend a helping hand to extend their jurisdiction and power and at no time throw obstacles in their wayWashington D C April GTbe naval intelligence bureau of the Navy Depart ment has kept itself fully informed as to the amount of coal owned by the Spainards In the West India islands Like much other information which this bureau obtains the officials decline to make it public but it is said in some quarter that the sup ply will last for a reasonable length of time The bureau of equipment of the Navy Department is also straining every nerve to get an adequate supply of this requisite for a fleet of ships at such points on the gulf as may be readily available Likewise the officials of the Navy Department are making every effort to obtain coaling stations in the West Indies but if their efforts up to this time have been crownedwith success they refuse to make the fact public Two desirable locations which it is believed are under considera don are the Mole St Nicholas Haytl and the Island of St Thomas which belongs to Denmark If these two places could be acquired then with supply stations at Key West and Dry Torlugas it is believed the facilities for obtaining coal would be rea sonably adequate for all purposes in the event of war with Spain Although the Senate acted adversely on the proposition to purchase St Thomas it is believed the department has not given up all hope of securing some accommodations there for coal station purposes This from an exchange gives an account of the attempt last week to organize a new order by discontented mine workers and their reason The grievances of the dy men are that when the scale was raised at Chicago at the March conference of oper ators and miners their wages were not in creased They want pay for ten hours work under the nov scale for eight hours work The miners of Indiana do not take kindly to the proposed organization of a union which will undoubtedly be antagon istic to the United Mine workers It is stated by miners that just now the miners organization is in better shape than it has been for yean Thedifferences have been patched up and men who withdrew from the union In 1894 and 1895 arc coming into line again This being the case they do not believe the meeting at Sprinlield will amount to much An officer of the miners organiza lion stated that in hs opinion the meeting would fall flat He staled that tho In diana miners while desiring to get closer to the Illinois men could see nothing to be gained by any movement of the kind con templated For years the miners of the two states have been more or less at outs but under the terms of the Chicago agree ment they have drawn together to some extent and there is now some prospect of a full and complete understandingand a uul fication of interests The miners believe that the miners of Illinois or rather a small part of those em ployed under the day scale are making a stand at a time it should not be thought of It Is believed lint the movement was in augurated bya few hot heads who an try ing to organize the now union and thereby take a step which will cripple but not by any means ruin the old national organize hoaI BeforeRetiring lake Ayers Pills and you will sleep better and wake in bettei condition for the days work Ayers Cathartic Pills have no

terror to millions of human hearts What glorious news to humanity that death has been conquered and the grave need no longer bo eared 1 This is tho message of Easter When Christ arose Ho ovcrcamo death not merely for Himself but for nil who are Ills The humblest disciple of Christ in the world can say 0 death whero is thy sting 0 grave whero is thy victory Tho sting of death is sin II lint Christ cleanses us front sin and thero by removes tho sting from death Tho pardoned Christian no longer line any fear of death 1 The testimony of Christ proves that tho fear of death has been conquered for tho Christian John viii 61 reads Verily verily I say unto you if a man keep My saying ho shall never Leo death Christ is not speaking of spiritual death but physical death Ho does not mean ono who oboys Him will never pass through tho grave but that what is called death to tho Christian is not death Tho Christian never dies Obedience to Christ leads to immortal life Death is only a chango from tem poral to eternal lifo anti therefore need not be feared This is Christs testi mony and it is true If wo keep His word if wo obey His commandments wo need never have any fear of death

but in either caso ho declares ho will magnify Christ in his body Christ II ho says shall bo magnified by my body whether it bo by lifo or by death To livo is Christ to die is gain No fear of death in such language as that Instead of fear lug death ho looked upon it as a per sonal gain for then ho would bo with Christ and when later on ho did know that tho end was before him ho calmly wroto to Timothy I am now ready to be offered upand tho timo of my do partnro is at hand Tho experience of Paul is tbo experience of all Christians when they como to tho dying hour Death may seem to us to havo
