According to the latest figures which
can be obtained, the number of pupils
enrolled in the publio schools of the
"United States amounts to 14,379,078, j
or nearly twenty per cent, of the na
tion's population. Out of 400,325
leaehers employed 130,300 are males
ami 209,056 females. The average
monthly salary paid to male teachers is
$7.37; the average monthly salary
paid to female teachers is $40.24. The
namber of publio schoolhousos in th
trailed States is 240,9G8,and tho valua
cfall the publio school property ag
regK.tes $455,948,104. The cost of
public school education in tho United
Stales per pupil is $18.92 annually.
These figures do not include private
ecLools nor higher institutions of
learning which are sustained without
tho aid of State appropriations. Evi
dently this country is making rapid
Iacational progress; although, of
coarse, there is still marked room for
improvement.
t Says the New York Times: "If we
: etoj a moment to think of it, it is very
. Teraarkable that the absolute oblitera
tion of eectional lines in the vote in

Xio remark whatever. It is to-day as
iralnral a thing that General 'Joe'
"Wheeler, of Alabama, one of the most
gallant of Confederate cavalry leaders,

-shout of applause as it was thirty

from Congress by his Confederate

! on one part than on the other. Yet
ria fact, to which our familiarity

importance, but is wholly without
precedent in the history of the world.
2"ever was there so desperate and
liloodj a Civil War, never eo rapid
and complete establishment of na-1-ronal

jiexfc generation, sufficiently remoto to
catch the perspective of our rapidly
roving national changes, will seo this
iaora plainly than we, and he will find
mora interesting than the great strug
gla tho story of the recovery from it,
of. the new start on a broader and more
fruitful career. When he strikes, in

President Sends
in Message
PROCLAIMING HOSTILITIES.
asks uoiiirress 10 rass a
mil Di'darin- That
War Now Exists.
HOUSE ACTS PROMPTLY !
The following bill reported by the
foreign affairs committee in tho lower
house of congress Monday, was passed
immediately and without division:
"A bill declaring that war exists be
tween tho United States of America
and tho Kingdom Spain.
"Be it enacted, etc.,
"rirst mat war up and the same
Is hereby declared to oxiit nnd that
war lias existed slncp the 21st day of
April A. 1)., 1M)S, inoliiiiinir said daj,
between the I'nitcd States of America
and the kingdom of Spain.
"Second That the prrsidi .it of the
United States be, and lie hereby Is
directed and empowered to use the
entire land and naval forces of the
United States and to call Into the
actual service of the United States the
militia of the several states, to such
extent as mar be necessary to carry
this act into effect."
A Washington special says: The
president Monday sent congress tho
lonowing message recommending a
Oil .
declaration cf war against Spain:
ine senato ami house of represen
tatives of the United States of Amer
ica I transmit to the congress for its
consideration and approval copies of
correspondence recently had with tho
representatives of Spain in the United
States with the United States Minister
at Madrid and through the latter with
the government of Spain, showing the
action taken under joint resolution ap
proveu April zutn, ivjs, "lor tne rec
ognition of the independence of tho
people of Cuba, demanding that the
government of Spain relinquish its an
thority and government in the island
of Cuba and to withdraw its land and
naval forces from Cuba and Cuban
waters and directing the president of
the United States to use tho land and
naval forces of the United States to
carry these resolutions into effect."
Upon communicating to the Spanish
minister in Washington the demand
which it became the duty of the exec
utive to address to tho government of
Spain in obedience to said resolution,
the minister asked for his passports
and ' withdrew. The United States
minister at Madrid was in turn notified
by the Spanish minister for foreign
affairs that the withdrawal of the
Spanish representative from tho United
States had terminated diplomatic rela
tions between the two countries and
that all official communications between
their respective representatives ceased
therewith.
I recommend to your especial atten
tion the note addressed to the United
States minister at Madrid by the Span
ish minister for foreign affairs on the
21st inst., whereby the foregoing no
tification was conveyed. It will be
perceived therefrom that the govern
ment of Spain, having recognizance of
the joint resolution of the United
States congress, and in view of the
things which tho president is thereby
required and authorized to do, re
sponds by treating the demands of
this government as measures of hos
tility, following at that instant imme
diate and complete severance of rela
tions by its nations, which, by the
usages of nations, accompanies an ex
istent state of war between sovereign
powers.
The position of Spain being thus
made known and the demands of the
United States being denied with
complete rupture of intercourse by the
act of Spain, I am constrained in exer
cise of the power and authority con
ferred upon mo by the joint resolution
aforesaid to proclaim under date of
April 22, 1898, a blockade of certain
ports of the north coast of Cuba lying
between Cardenas and Bahia Honda
and of the port of Cienfuegos on the
south coast of Cuba; and, further, in
exercise of my constitutional powers
and using the authority conferred

FOREIGN PRESS HOSTILE.
Jtntftla Only Han Klml XVonU For the
I'nltfHl Slain.
Advices from London state that
with an important exception there is
general continental condemnation of
tho United States by tho press. This
exception emanates from Russia. Tho
St. Petersburg Viedoniosti, speaking
tor Kussia s attitude toward the United
States, says:
"The friendship which has sub
sisted for many years between tho two
states excludes every idea of an un
friendly attitude upon the part of Rus
sia at the present juncture.
Tho Viedomosti adds: "No doubt
the United States now values this
friendship more than ever."
ine otner continental newspapers
continue their bitter hostility and the
Loudon Sunday papers contain many
indications of unfriendliness.

CALL YOU VOLUNTEERS

"With tho Army Kill.
A Washington special says: Tho
volunteer army bill was signed by the
president Friday afternoon and a call
for 100,000 volunteers was signed at
the same time.
In many respects the call follows
the outlines of the first made by Pres
ident Lincoln on April 15, when ho
asked for 75,000 men.
Necessarily there are a number of
changes because of the diflerent pur
poses for which volunteers are asked.
CLASSES US AS PIRATES.
Spain Anaerta That Letters of Marque are
No Protection.
A semi-onicial note just issued at
Madrid asserts that Spain will not
issue letters of marque and will treat
all vessels holding letters of marque
issued by America as pirates and not
as privateers.
Spain will utilize a numerous mcr
cantile fleet as auxiliary and will exer
cise the right of search, both by regu
lar and the auxiliary warships, and. the
government reserves liberty as to tho
question of coal being contraband.

YOUNG AT SIXTY.
Serene comfort and happiness in a3
vanced years are realized by compara
tively few women.
Their bard lives, their liability to se
rious troubles on account of their pecu
liar organism and their profound igno
rance concerning themselves, all com
bine to shorten the periotbpf usefulness
and fill their later years with suffering.
Mrs. Pinkham has done much to make
women strong. She has given advico
to many that has shown them how to
guard against disease and retain vigor
ous health in old age. From every cor
ner of the earth there is constantly com
ing the most convincing statements
from women, showing tho efficacy of
Lydia E. I'inkham's Vegetable Com
pound in overcoming female ills. Here
is a letter from Mrs. J. C. Orms, of 220
norner St. , Johnstown, Pa., which is
earnest and straight to the point:
"Dear Mr3. Pixkiiam: I feel it my
duty to tell all suffering women that I
think your remedies aro wonderful. I
had trouble with my head, dizzy spells
and hot flashes. Feet and hands wero
cold, was very nervous, could not sleep
well, had kidney trouble, pain in
ovaries and congestion of the womb.
Since faking your remedies I am better
every way My head trouble is all
gone, have no pain in ovaries, nnd am
cured of womb trouble. I can eat and
sleep well and am gaining in flesh. I
consider your medicine the best to bo
had for female troubles."
Tho present Mrs. I'inkham's experi
ence in treating female ills is unparal
lelled, for years she worked side by
6idc with Mrs. Lydia E. Pinkham, and
for sometime past has had sole charge
of tho correspondence department of
her great business, treating by letter
as many es a hundred thousand ailing
women during a single year.
