W. N. ARMSTRONG - EDITOR
FRIDAY :::::: : MAY 0.
War between the United States and
Spain has been declared, and the first
blood has been drawn. The mail due
on Saturday will bring interesting and
exciting items of news.
EXPERIENCED FIGHTERS.
Anyone who looks over the register
of the American navy, will see the
names of many men who, in the Am
erican Civil war, saw hard and desper
ate fighting at the forts below New
Orleans, in Mobile Bay and elsewhere.
While these men were young and held
no superior rank, they learned much,
-with great rapidity, from men like
Farragut and Porter. There could not
be more effective object lessons in
naval warfare to the men who now
command the American fleets, than the
dashing movements of not only those
commanders, but of many others who
did marvelous things. The capture of
the ironclad Albemarle was made al
most before the eyes of Admiral Miller
and his associates.
It is also true of the American army
that there are men now living in the
South as well as the North, who have
seen more actual warfare on a large
-scale than the average officers of the
European armies. Only the command
ing officers of those armies have had
the training and practical education of
the Americans. The military cam
paigns, during the last 40 years, in
Europe have been short, and consisted
mainly of war in the open country,
-while the war in America consisted of
"battles between armies so hidden in
the forests that they could not see
each other.
' For these reasons, the world will ex
pect that the military and naval opera
tions the American forces will be of
the most brilliant kind.
THE KATA1IDIN.
It is just possible that the ram Kat
ahdin may create a revolution in naval
warfare. This craft is the invention of
Admiral Ammen, and it is his belief
that she will prove very destructive to
battleships. Her ram is of enormous
power and weight. It has the shape
of the turtle back, and is painted green.
The constructors' theory is that shot
and shell will glance from her oval
deck. Her ramming power is so great,
that she will easily penetrate through
any thickness of iron and will not be
come entangled in the hull it strikes.
. Its advantage as against torpedoes
has not been tried. It is apparent that
the naval authorities will give this ram
a trial, as the dispatches state that it
has been attached to the Flying Squad
ron. The little Monitor and the big Merri
mac, in 1862, revolutionized naval war
fare. The Katahdin may create an
other revolution. Admiral Ammen be
lieves that it will, and the Navy De
partment asked Congress for the
money with which to construct it. The
substitution of rams for cannon balls,
if successful, would create a weary
feeling among naval constructors, and
might induce the nations to hold a
conference oh the subject of arma
ments. Though the great American sea
fighters are no longer living, there are
a score of men in the American navy
with the "flag rank," who have had, in
actual nval service and in naval bat
tles, more experience than the naval
officers of even Great Britain, and far
more experience than the officers of
the Spanish navy.
THE
PLANTERS AND
DUSTRIES.
THE IN-
It is one of the embarrassments of
the situation here, that tne planters, on
business and selfish grounds, will op
pose the development of small indus
tries over the Islands. Of course there
are always exceptions to be made in
generalizing. For there are some plan
ters who would not oppose the estab
lishment of diversified industries.
But the average planter will reason
in this way: "So long as the cultiva
tion and production of sugar is the
main industry, and upon which the
laborers must rely, the rate of wages
is largely within the control of the
planting interest. The establishment
of other industries may create a diver
sion, especially if it happens, that the
returns from any of these new indus
tries are larger to the laborer than the
returns from plantation work. Why
then should the planting interest en
courage the establishment of that
which may seriously injure it?" The
argument is, from the ordinary busi
ness point of view, a sound one. We
can hardly expect the planting inter
est to move in such a matter with any
more alacrity than the small boy who
is directed by his father to go into the
garden and cut a switch, which is, he
distinctly knows, to he used about his
own legs.
It may be said in reply, that diversi
fied small industries that give employ
ment to women and children, will fav
orably affect the condition of the lab
orers on the plantations, by increasing
their home comforts. This might be
so, in some cases. But we accept it as
a fact, that no cla?s of laborers are, on
the whole, very much in love with
plantation life, and will escape from it,
whenever better opportunities are of
fered. We are not criticising the plan
ting interest for this condition of
things. The same conditions exist in
nearly all of the agricultural portions
of the United States. The whole ten
dency of modern education, and senti
ment, is towards independence upon
the soil. Any new agricultural indus
try that enables a man to become his
own master, is a movement hostile to
wards penal contract labor or cheap
labor.
We should be surprised therefore if
the planting interest became enthu
siastic about creating diversified indus
tries here, so long as it puts its faith
in sugar. If it sees an end of sugar
prosperity in the future, near or re
mote, it might encourage industries
which may be utilized by the sugar
plantations. But this aspect of the
case, demands much foresight. Wheth
er that faculty exists here is a matter
of some doubt.

What They Read About Hood's
Sarsaparilla j
brics
Their Faith in This Medicine is
Grounded on Merit
They Know It Absolutely Cures
When Other Medicines Fail
Hood's Sarsaparilla is not merely a sim
ple preparation of Sarsaparilla, Dock,
Stillingia and a little Iodide of Potassium.
Besides these excellent alteratives, it
also contains those great anti-bilious and
liver remedies, Mandrake and Dandelion.
It also contains those great kidney reme
dies, Uva Ursi, Juniper Berries, and
Pipsissewa.
Nor are these all. Other very valuable
curative agents are harmoniously com
bined in Hood's Sarsaparilla, and it is
carefully prepared under the per&onal
supervision of a regularly educated phar
macist. Knowing these'facts, is the abiding faith
the people have in Hood's Sarsaparilla a
matter of surprise? You can see why
Hood's Sarsaparilla cures, when other
medicines totally, absolutely fail.
"My little girl was afflicted with
eczema and suffered for seven years. She
was attended by physicians and tried
many different kinds of medicine with
out relief. After taking a few bottles of
Hood's Sarsaparilla she was cured." Mrs.
Emma Fkanklix, Honeoye, New York.

The. Summer is fast ap
proaching and shortly the
usual dry weather will pre
vail, and stock will suffer.
It is all right with the big
plantations, which have large
steam pumps and get an
ample supply of water (at an
enormous expense), but a
stock ranch does not need
such a quantity of water and
could not afford the price.
But with our different sized

10,000 Gallons an Hour,
at a minimum of expense. It is
unnecessary for us to enlarge
on the good qualities of the
