THE RESOLUTION.
The United States Senat-, last nigh
and leave the "Pearl of the Antillles
at once. It is more than likely that th
.House of Representatives will si.Iii
agree to the Senate resolution and tha
the President will sign the measure.
No one who has followed the cours
of proceedings for tie- past few week
can doubt that this will mean wai
Spain, with a foolish pride, based o
egotism and ignorance, fondly imag
ines that it will ha an easy matter t
thrash the United States and will n
doubt resent the Interference of thi
government by an appeal to the arid
tration of the sword. Whether thi
will be a wise step or not it is needles
to discuss. The fact that Spain will re
sent the action of Congress and tha
tv i
tlmost sure to 1
.dug tlo::
suit
Hit
longer
but is
dition no
pie.
The question, then,
of abstract right or worng,
which has to. do with the proper man
ner in which the crisis is to be met
In the face of a foreign toe American
should bury all differences and presen
a solid front to the enemy. No on
acquainted with the temper of Und
Sam's loyal supporters can doubt tha
such wiil be the case.
The die is. cast ami all thai now re
mains is for every citizen id' the Unite.
States, from the humblest to the high
est, to stand by the government. Thi:
is made much easier by tie- fact tha
the government is in the right.
It is quite obvious that the Spaniard!
have made an egregious mistake Ii
calling General Weyler to commani
the Spanish forces In Cuba in the even:
of war with the United States. Tin
former captain-general not only dis?
played military incapacity and ineffi?
ciency during his occupation of Cuba,
but aroused so much prejudice, indig?
nation and contempt among Americans
that the desire to secure a "crack" at
this nineteenth century barbarian will
act as a greater incentive to enlist?
ment that all the courage and patri?
otism in existence. His name will act
as a sort of oriflamme to nerve Uncle
Sam's troops to rush into battle and
next to "Remember the Main.-." th.
cry of "Down with Weyler" will be?
come the shibboleth of the Americans
o-s they charge- the Spaniards.
It is with some astonishment and a
feeling of sharp rebuke that we note
the fact that the committee on inva?
lid pensions has reported to the House
adversely upon the propostitlon to put
an end to the industry of marrying
young women to veterans on the brink
of the grave for the sake or widow's
pensions.?New York Mail and Ex
press.
This seems to be entirely "home" in?
dustry. Perhaps that is the reason the
committee refrained from giving it a
"black eye."
Mr. Wayne MaeVeagh says "Spain
has announced her willingness to with?
draw her soldiers from that unhappy
island," referring to Cuba, of course.
It would be interesting to know how
the Honorable Wayne scooped the bal?
ance of the country on this important
piece of news. Some of the esteemed
yellow journals should put a detective
on his track and find out where his
vein of "news" is located.
MY- Bailey resents, with a good deal
n? indignation, (ho charge that he
"lost his head" in the Cuban debate
the other day. if the Texan's conduct
.luring the past few days may be
taken as a criterion his protest is well
founded. It would be ridiculous to
dignify the thing lost by Mr. Bailey by
calling it a "head."
Uncle Sam's diploma
and truly assuming a
peel.

"UNCLE JOE'S" PREDICTION.
A characteristic story is going the
rounds today about "Uncle Joe" Can?

non, as everybody knows, has been a
stalwart advocate of honorable peace,
and has been unusually outspoken in
defining his position. Hin "Uncle Joe"

judge of the temper of tin- house of

He is quoted as saying to a friend this
morning:
"1 am for the avoidance of war by

CROWNED HEADS HARD TO HIT.
AttemntS to Assassinate Them Have [
Failed.
(Pall Mall Gazette.) I
The lisl of. missed monarchs is, tak- I
i11? it no further back than the last
half dozen decades or so, an interest?
ing subject of consideration. At the
head of it we lind the most missed
monarch of his own, or, indeed, of any
age, Louis fhillppe. For a matter of
fourteen years, this monarch was con?
stantly having lead pumped at him.
His experience began on Nov. 19, 1832.
Somebody?it was never properly as?
certained who?opened lire upon him
on the Pont Neuf. This was but a fore?
taste. Fieschi followed with his infer?
nal machine, July 28. IS35. Nineteen
barrels, with lour balls in each, ar?
ranged ;.. cover it space of twenty-live
feet wide and ten feet high, accounted
for Marshal Mortier, three other mili?
tary oilicers and live civilians on the
spot. The King rode home without a
scratch. Alibaud followed, June 25,
IS30: Meurinler in December of the
same year. I'armes drew his bead in
1840. Leeonito had pot shots at his sov?
ereign from behind a wall in 1846, and
before that year was out Henri had
done his b>-si to "snipe" him from the
garden of tie- Tuileries. And all these
ioperiitors had provided themselves
with four shots apiece. All they sue
I ceeded in doing to their target was to
lodge a bit of wadding in one of his
ambrosial whiskers.
Meantime, oxford in 1840, John Fran?
cis in 1812, Roan a few weeks later in
the same year, and William Hamilton
I in 184:? had all scored misses against
ithe Sovereign Lady of these realms,
who was to have yet a further expe?
rience at Windsor station in 1882, when
Maclean, the homicidal lunatic, made
his attempt.
Hut for what happened at St. Peters?
burg at ~ o'clock in the afternoon of
March 13, 1881, the second Alexander of
Russia might have been as much miss
ed as the Citizen King himself. Ka
rakozow hail missed him at St. Peters?
burg in 188'!. Rerezowskl had missed
him again in Paris on that historic 6lh
of June in 1867. Solovieff failed in 1S79.
They laid a mine for him just outside
Moscow, and the imperial ' luggage
train happened to be running first that
day. Then they tilled a vault below
the dining room at the Winter Pal?
ace. Hut that February evening it so
fell out mat the imperial dinner party
was a little later than usual. The Czar
had gone to meet He- Prince of Heese.
The mine was .Jir. d before the party
had euler.-d the room. Refore the Bor
ki "accident" the sou of Alexander H.
had had a collide of experiences. One
otlieer all but had him at Catschina In
issT; another missed him even more
' narrowly tin- next year.
Thrice missed was her most Catholit
Majesty. Isabella?by Ha Riva in 1847;
? by Merino, the priest, in isr.2. though it
! was only the busk of her corsets that
saved her; and by Raymond Fuentes
; in 1SS?. Alfonso XII. was missed by
' Moneasi in 1S7.S and by Francesco Ole
' ro Gonzales subsequently. When tin
Hue d'A'-sta was King Amadeus t
' party of live went for him at Madrid
in the Call,- Arenal, but it was one o!
the party who was killed. Even tin
popular Francis Joseph has been miss
! ed twice. Libenyi grazed his Majesty's
neck with a knife in IS53. Overdanl

The government at Washington, as re?
el in > - srdiys 'Herald. di*? not
k with .favor upon a resort to pri?
vateering.
Privateering is condemned by civilized
ration., almost as unanimously as is
piivivy. Ik-- purpose is rather private
l-oin-il.n- than host He damage. Its prey is
.?irm.merce, its victime being merchants.
The declaration of Paris proclaims the

TIHO PRESIDENT'S APPEAL.
The President has appealed to the
common-sense of the Spanish govern
tnent, and has invited them to look at
the situation as it exists. The inter?
ests of the two countries are really
the same. It concerns both that Cuba
mould be tranquil and prosperous. But
he island cannot be either prosperous
ir tranquil until the rebellion is at an
?-'id. and the rebellion cannot be
nought to an end by Spain. The in
lependence of Cuba, on terms satis
actory to the Cubans are not unfair
o Spain, is the only solution of a dlf
iculty which may involve the two
temispheres in war.
