Not an instant of tiiu within four centurieacan le recallfd when the rumors of war were so ft!inuimeouIy and cnltert iIJt reverberated. No great war in actnal progress, but trerarationa for war everpwnere. ja can haa voted In preparation for war her yen, Itatsia her rubles, England her Donnd sterling, the United States . her dollars, and Spain haa hawked her depreciated credit on every market to obtain the mean and unew of war. - There ia war in Cuba, and we should have made thi declaration tt truth to the world long ago and had the power of earth to know and feel witn aiw late certainty that this country by In spiration.

All our accumulated and Inherited wealth of letters, learning, history, science, Ingenuity, enias invention, dljcovery, progress, civilization, and light here and to the eternal shores may be Iot or reic gated to a dark age for centuries. Who can t foresee, who can foretell? Or the very preiura tlon and appearance of war may solve the great problems of the age. by emancipating nations and men from . dependence upon and servitude to the sordid metals, and making them more reliant upon their own credit and re. source, relegating this relic of bar bar is m to the realm of commodities ana establishing an establishing an equitable basis of distribution 1 for all . human national and international tx ansae t Ions, and ushering in the twentieth century with the United .

Neither shall they learn war any more. - i , When learning and art. and trecl ally religion, shall mean ties that shall make war like fractlcide.! I Mr. Chairman, under these fcondi tlocs It may be statesmanship, con- inmate diplomacy, and wte patriotism and prophetic caution to prepare foi the seeming conflict, with then-served. patriotic. and Christian hope that the very preparation may avert war and command peace.

We need employ them to brin; more comfort to American homes, in en lightening the minds. Christianizing tha heart.' and bettering the condi tion of American masse. We need employ them In still further develop in? and enriching our already marvel ously great country, in extending onr corn me see on land and sea, in con structing our inland waterways, in builing the Nicaragua Canal, connect ing ns with the Orient, and other great project made pvible by American genius and enterprie. Desirable a all of these may be and are. yet, if need be, we' would make oneofuli of them willing sacrifice upon the altar cf starving humanity and liberty. Mr. Chairman, It would seem in this day of light of Christian rea son that all international differences could and; should be arbitrated.

THE WAR CONDITION. ihe pendulum 01 war was swinging to the fever heat on Saturday, and it raged through the Day of Rest. But on Mon day it cooled off and swung back to its normal posttion, with an apparent tendency to the freezing point of peace. Those who had known enough of war were happier and those who had put on their warpaint began to wash it off, and those who were clamorous for war denounced President McKiniey, Modern Treatment of Consumption The latest work on the ?t g treatment of diseases, written e br fortr cralacnt Ainrrican 9 physicians, says: Cod-liver oil Has done more for the con sumptive than all other reme dies put together."

Thereby bangs a danger. - J .1 1 A. X 1 nat must we ao aooui ine Spanish torpedo flotilla ? Spain has a dozen of them fully equipped for war. They are not sea ficrhters. But in less boistorous waters they are for- midabie weapons or naval war fare. They are swift, making mm m twentv three knots an hour, and they can blow up the larg est ship of war, and can run r w all around her. , They -draw less water. They can attack by night as well as day. They are a new jersey gainnippor upon tho back and face of an elephant, so. to speak. This torpedo fleet is not a formidable foe in the open sea but in the comparatively smooth waters of Key West or Tortugas they would be formidable indeed. What must wo do ? Ave what ? Must we wait for their arrival? It would be like waiting for an introduction to a man with a drawn pistol before striking a blow. Punctilio must not be in the way of self defense. If McKinley suffers them to cross the "Atlantic without calling them to halt, then a dread re sponsibility will be upon him, unless a Providential storm should defeat? this modern Spanish Armada. if your blood w thin, appetite poor, troubled with nicht sweats, a bad cold or LaGrinne take Robert's chill tonic.
