THE WAll SITUATION.
"While war bot'.vtron Spain, ami th'
UniU'd States appears to be inevitable,
President McKinley intends to avoid
it is possible. He withholds his mes
sage to Congress, in order to keep the
matter in his own hands. He evidently
hopes that at the last moment Spain,
convinced of the certainty of war, un
less she yields, will consent to the in
dependence of Cuba on term.-. This
may happen, but appears to be improb
able. The moment the President sends
his message to Congress, he virtually
Rives to that body the responsibility of
declaring offensive action. And Con
gress is prepared to act. The dispatch
C3 indicate that it is even disposed to
allow the President to act on his own
judgment.
The only possible escape from im
mediate war, is an armistice, which it
will be difficult to obtain, or the yield
ing of Spain which is possible, but im
probable. Still this may be the "unox
pectod" at the last moment.

found in the Library) is the one that
should be placed before children.
Ten days before the assassination,
the writer met Wilkes Booth on the
corner of Fifth avenue and 10th street,
New York City. He was engaged in
conversation with the daughter of a
prominent Republican Senator. She
was making a visit to friends in the
city, and had been followed by Booth
from Washington. He stood in a
striking, but easy attitude, with his
hand on an iron fence rail. The writer
knowing the lady personally, and
Booth by sight, noticed them, as they
stood together for a few moments and
then parted. Two weeks afterwards,
Booth, the assassin, was hiding on the
Rapahannock river, and the writer
saw the body of Lincoln carried in
funeral procession passed the spot
where the assassin stood in New York
City.

TIIK KASTKItN SITUATION.
This day is the anniversary of the
day on which Abraham Lincoln was
assassinated in 1SG5.
There can be no better commemora
tion of it than by repeating an extract
from ia speech delivered in the Spanish
Cortes, by Castellar, on the question of
the emancipation of the slaves under
Spanish rule. It is regarded by some
as one of the choicest specimens of
rhetoric in all literature, in its de
scription of Lincoln's career:
"I beg that you will pause a moment
to consider the man who cleansed this
terrible stain which obscured the stars
of the American banner. I beg that
you will pause a moment, for his im
mortal name has been invoked for the
perpetuation of slavery. Ah! the past
century has not, the century to come
will not have a figure so grand, be
cause as evil disappears, so also disap
pears heroism. I have often contemplat
ed and described his life. Born in a cab
in of (Kentucky, of parents who could
"hardlv read; born 'a new .Moses in the
solitude of the desert, where are forged
all great obstinate thoughts, monoton
cms like the desert, and like the desert
sublime: growing up among ithose pri
meval forests, which with their frag
rance, send a cloud of incense, and
with their murmurs a cloud of prayers
to heaven; a boatman at eight years
in the impetuous current of the Ohio,
and at seventeen in the vast and tran
quil waters of the Mississippi; later a
woodman with ax a.nd arm felling the
immemorial trees to open a way to un
explored regions for his tribe of wan
dering workers; reading no other book
than the Bible, the book of great sor
rows and great hopes, dictated often by
prophets to the sound of fetters they
dragged through Nineveh and Baby
Ion; a child of nature, by one of those
miracles only comprehensible among a
free people lie fought for the country
and was raised by his fellow citizens to
the Congress in Washington, and by
the Nation to the Presidency of the
Republic; and when the evil grew more
virulent, when (those States were dis
solved, when the slave owners uttered
their war cry, and the slaves their
groans of dispair the wood cutter, the
boatman, the son of the great West,
the descendant of Quakers, humblest
of the humble before his conscience,
ereatest of the great before history,
ascends the Capitol, tho greatest moral
height of our time, and strong and
serene with his conscience and his
thought; before him a veteran army,
hostile Europe behind him, England
favoring the South, France encourag
ing reaction in Mexico, in his hands
the riven country; he arms 2,000,000 of
men, gathers 500,000 horses, sends his
artillery 1,202 miles in a week from the
banks of the Potomac to the shores of
Tennessee; fights more than COO bat'
ties; revives before Richmond the
deeds of Alexander, of Caesar; and,
after emancipating G.000,000 slaves,
that nothing might be wanting, he dies
in the very moment of victory like
Christ, like Socrates, like all redeem
ers, at the foot of his work. His work!
Sublime achievement; over which men
shall eternally shed tears, and God his
benediction!"
Mr. Unlfour Tells the House ot Com
mons How Eusland Stands.
LONDON, April 5 The House of
Commons was crowded today with peo
ple anxious to hear the statement of
Mr. Balfour, acting Secretary of State
for Foreign Affairs, on the subject of
the situation in the Far East. Balfour
enumerated the concessions obtained
by Great Britain, namely, that the re
gion of the Yang-tse-Kiang should not
be alienated by any foreign power;
that the successor of Sir Robert Hart
as director of the Chinese imeprial
maritime customs is to be an English
man, and that to the inland waters is
to behad by ships of all nations.
A fourth concession, Balfour contin
ued, occurred only a day or two ago,
namely, the opening of three new
treaty ports, Funing, Yochau and Chin
Wang. This, according to Balfour, was
a considerable harvest for two months
tneecotiations.
Touching upon Wei-hai-wei, Baitour
said that Russia, having secured Port
Arthur, on the maritime approach to
Peking, Great Britain had occupied
Wei-hai-wei to balance matters.
Wei-hai-wei is the only port on the
Gulf of Pechili which might balance
the possession of Port Arthur," said
Mr. Balfour. "While Port Arthur is
stronger, the accommodation at Wei-hai-wei
is inestimably greater, and by
taking Wei-hai-wei under our protec
tion we prevent the Gulf of Pechili
from falling under the maritime con
trol of one power and thus defend our
interests."

Neighbors Could Not Bear to Look
Upon Her A Crand, Complete
Cure by Hood's Sarsaparilla
After Others Failed.
"I was taken with neuralgia in my
head and eyes. Not long after this, a
scrofula sore appeared on my left cheek,
extending from my upper lip to my eye.
Other sores came on my neck and on my
right arm and one of my limbs. Thev
were very troublesome and painful and
soon became great running gores. My
face looked so bad that some of mv
neighbors could not bear to look at me
and advised me to wear a bandage, but I
reared this would irritate the sore and
make it worse. So I
Could Not Hide the Sores.
Mv niece, who was familiar with a ra?
similar to mine, which had been cured by
iiooa s sarsaparilla, urged me to try it.
Finally I was persuaded to do so, and in
a short time I saw it was helping me.
The sores began to heal and the neu
ralgia in my head was better. In a few
months the sores on my arms and limbs
all healed; those on my neck gradually
disappeared and now they are all gone.
.
i nave never naa any symptom ol scrofula
since. One large scar on mv riht, arm Is
all the sign that remains of my terrible
affliction, 'ine neuralgia is also cured."

One of the model biographies of mo
dern times is that of Lincoln written
by his law partner, Herndon. It is the
simple story of his life, presenting his
defects and virtues, presenting even
tho ugly facts of his life, as well as
those which entitle him to the conse
cration in history which Castellar
gives to him. Many biographies of the
unreal Lincoln have been written, of
the supernatural hero, who seemed to
be without ihuman passions. These bio
graphies provoked Ruskin to say with
