It would be unjust to keep them in Congress when they are so anxious to figh for Cuba. WAR INEVITABLE The past week has been one o great activity and excitement in Congress and in army and nava circles. The government is ush lng troopsfamunition and imple ments of war to our territory nearest to Cuba. fter several days debate, at abou t two o'clock Tuesday morn ing. Congress passed the follow ing joint resolutions for there cognition of the independence of the peeple of Cuba, demanding that the Government of Spain re linquish its authority andgovern ment in the island of Cuba, and to withdraw its land and naval forces from Cuba and Cuban wa ters, and directing the President of the United States to use the land and naval forces of the Uni ted States to carry these tesolu tians into effect. Whereas, j The abhorent condi tions which have existed for more than three years in tlie islandbf Cuba, so uear our own borders, have shocked the moral sense of the people of the United States; have been a disgrace to Chris tian civilization, culminatiug. as they have, in the destruction of a United States battleship, with 2GG of its officers and crew, while oa' a friendly visit in the har bor of Havana, and cannot longer be endured, as has been set forth by the President! of the United States in his message to Con grss of April 11.1898, uroa which the action of Congress was invited; therefore, Resolved, T First That the people of tfte Island, of Cuba are, and of rig) it ought to be free and independent Second. Thatitisthedutyof the United States to demand, and the Government of the United-States jaoos ncreoy ueujauu, iuai Government of Spam al puce re linquish its authority, and gov ernment" "in the Island of Cufct and -withdraw, its land and naval brces from Cuba and Cuban wa ers " " - V Third. TLt the President of 1hc Unitf-d Stales be, and hi lereby is, directed and empower- d to use the entire land and na 'al forces of the United States and " to call into actual service of he United States the militia ol the several States, to'such extent is may be necessary to earn hese resolutions into effect Fourth. That the United Sta es hereby. disclaim any disposi tion or intention to exercise sover- nty, jurisdiction or control Over said island. except for the prcification thereof and asserts ts determination, when that ijs acbomplished, to leave the gov ernment and control of the island o'its people. The daily papers yesterday con aincd the following telegraphic news from Washington: : - Washington, D. C, ) ' April, 19 Spain will nTTt receive official no tification of the demands of the United States before tomorrow. She then will be informed that he Cuban " resolutions passed by Congress at an early hour - this morning are now a part of the laws of the United States and ah ulti matum will be sent demanding the compliance with this law, and an answer within a very short time, prpbably twenty four hours. Compliance is not expected and a forward movement on Cuba will commence the latter part tof this week, according to the plan of the administration. The Congressional Cub in reso lution will not .be signed until to- jrrow morning. The ultimatum to Spain will be sighed at the same time. The President early decid ed to make the two practically one act by a simultaneous siguature of each. Two Cabinet meetings were held during the day. The first being at 11 and lasting nearly two hours, and tbe second lasting fron 3' until 5:30 o'clock. At their close an nouncement that Executive action was delayed until tomorrow was made. Both Cabinet sessions were devoted principally to discussion of the ultimatum . to be sent to Madrid. At the morning session the Pre ident rather favored allowing, the Madrid Government two or even three days in which to reply to our demands, but since that time he has changed his views somewhat- ami it is now believed to be his purpose to require an answer with in a very short time, probably 2-4 hours. The reason for limiting the time to on day, or-e en less, is said to be entirely strategic, oth wise two or three days would j.ave been allowed. ( The ultimatum will be short and to the point. It will recite the main features of the res olutions passed by Congress and demand a cornpliai.ee therewith. It is likely that the President and Assistant Secretary Day will again this evening go over the message which is to bi sent to Madrid and make any changes which may be thought desirable, leaving the final act of signing the cougressioual resolution and ulti matum until tomorrow morning. It probably will not be made pub lic here until notice is received that it is in the hands of the Span ish Government, diplomatic equit ette requiring this. The Cuban resolutions passed by Congress arrived at the Wrhite Hou e at 1:15 o'clock, a little over in hour having been consumed is the formalities of securing the sig uatu e of Speaker lived and Vice President Hobart to the rosolutiou in open session, and its delivery at the White Hous by Representa tive H;iger, of I-.iiva, Chairman of ?iie committee on Eni oiled Bid, i'.id Bepivseutative-'" Ove street, of Indiana. , A ceo rd tig to l hqse ll i nist. r A'oodford will i;ot!fv the 6 .iinlsh Governm .'-'at of..-:y-o' nc(;oao; the United Suteiaud should the SpaLish answer be uasatisfaaio :x ji Mi I, ant j t.p order will be for him. to ask lo las pass'px"i ts and leave Miul ''4.

P0TEC1SI HEWS. Slovements of Industrial Leagrue j Replies to M. J. S Says she lias Sidetracked Locals, j Misses Kuzelia Lassiter, Ella; Harrell and Boss Jack Harrell; have all recovered from the mea sles. " A movement ha been made by the Industrial League to obtain permission from Mr. George E. Putrell to move his fence in sev earl feet in order to establish a nice foot walk between the depot. and the village. This will be a great, addition, especially when it is graveled which I understand they propose to do. r - M. J. S, Woodland depot, nas completely sidetracked, we are unable to say whether at her nine acre park as she first termed it, or as she lastly puts it. "Pleasure Ground, ''which we expect ismore appropriate as there is no fence law in this section and the caUle of the field claim the same privi lege as peoplein pleasure grounds ! not fenced in. She says we have extravagantly misrepresented the Indsstrial and station agent, who is one. We would suggest putting it the Industrial agent the father, the station agent the son, for by him the entire freight and ticket work is done. The statament ; made by us in week before last issue of the Patron and Gleaner was given to us by. a reliable party and will hold good as. being absolutely correct relative to how the industrial work was done at Woodland until evidence is produced in full detail that it is inaccurate. A require ment on all station agents of course means an ana concerns others, where one fails to comply; and what makes matters! more rediculous is her continual en deavors to evade the enquiry by hooting at the in significant $20. 00 for a flower garden, her station has not put out a five dollar one, in fact none at all, and refuses to say why he has not done so. Was he exempted on account of space when she claims a nine acre park or as sne now says, "pleasure grounds." Flower gardens was the first requirement of the In dustrial department, and while we are aware of the expense and trouble follows, all should fare alike. , One Ho have shade trees and roost on a soft side of a plank in the hot summer while others are attenaing tneir nowers is clear out of the question. M. J. S. asserted in her, former reply that Woodland had expended ten to one in dollars as agaiust Pote casi. Did her station agent fur nish these funds or any at all? It occurs to us that she would make an excellent artist, provided she was only required to made of herself. The penny pension pict ures referred to by her is rightly ours,for she has undertook to de Tend an enquiry vvhich was cer tainly not addressed to her, We will, however,' donate this penny towards erecting a flower garden at Woodland. M. J. S's. intel lectual power on scripture is sim ply wonderful, but she wiseh overlooks what our blessedRe- deemer told his deciples. Kit Solomon in all his clorv a"nd splendor cannot be compared with the Lilly of the field. ! We have often heard of people being left once ' on the same train but not twice. We would not blame M. J. S. if she tendered aer resignation at once "and per mit a beautiful flower garden to be erected at Woodland, - ;: :.::-" Max.'

For tventy-five years that stand ard preparation of cod-liver oil, has proved its effectiveness in cur ing the trying affections of the throat and lungs, and this is the reason why: the cod-liver oil, par tially digested, strengthens and vitalizes the whole sys tem; the hypophosphites act as a ; tonic to I the mind and nerves, and the glycerine soothes antf heals the irritation Can you think of any combi nation so effective as this?
