WASHINGTON, April 22, 1898.
Glory hallelujah 1 The scales have
dropped from McKinley's eyes ;
Americans are to have an opportunity
to avenge the Maine, and Spain is to
be whipped out of Cuba. This was
made certain when Mr. McKinley
signed the joint resolution adopted by
Congress authorizing the use of the
U. S. army and navy and the militia
of the several states to drive Spain
out of Cuba, and forwarded an ultima
tum to Spain demanding the immedi
ate evacuation of Cuba, and giving
notice that unless a satisfactory ans
wer was received by Saturday he
should proceed to carry out the pro
visions of the resolution. The nature of
the answer was made known in advance
by the Spanish minister's demanding
his passports and leaving Washington,
after notifying the Department of
State that the French Ambassador
and Austrian Minister had been
authorized to act jointly in looking
after Spanish interests in the U. S.
So that no matter when or where the
first gun may be fired the U. S. and
Spain will be considered by them
selves and the rest of the world as at
way with each otner on and after
Sunday.
This is not the time to exploit
partisan politics, but it is only a matter
of justice to the democrats and popu
lists in Congress to keep the record
straight, by calling attention to the
fact that the position occupied by Mr.
McKinley and his administration and
party today has been that of the demo
crats and populists in Congress since
the announcement of the blowing up
of the Maine. The latter are not ask
ing any special credit for their
thoroughbred Americanism, which
has helped the people of the country
to force the administration into a
fighting humor. Like the brave
marine who reported to Capt. Sigsbee
that his ship had been blown up, and
like Capt. Sigsbee and Fitz Lee, they
have only done their duty; but on
the other hand, they should not be
deprived of the credit due them, by
those who allowed themselves to be
bamboozled ty the trickery of Span
ish diplomacy into believing that a
peaceful settlement of the account
between the U. S. and Spain could
be arrived tit, until an indignant and
aroused public sentiment opened their
eyes to the real situation, and who
now claim that the present situation
has been brought about by their policy,
when it exists in spite of their policy.
Getting himself in a fighting humor
is not the only way in which Mr. Mc-
Kinley has followed the democrats.
Although he opposed the recognition
of the independence of the present
government of Cuba with so much
vehemence that he succeeded in
having it struck out of the resolution
after it had been adopted by the
Senate, he has since practically, if not
officially, recognized the Cuban re
public by treating with its officials,
through Gen. Miles.
Owing to the late day in which Mr.
McKinley abandoned hopes of
and the delay in ordering the troops
of the regular- army south, and in
issuing the call for volunteers, the
most that this government can do
until it has succeeded in getting an
invading army ready for embarkation
at ports adjacent to Cuba is to block
ade Cuba, with our warships, and to
wait for the army to be got ready. It
is too late to find fault now, but the
facts are stated in order that it may
be understood why Cuba is not at
once taken. It will be but a waste
of ammunition for our ships to batter
down the forts of Havana, until we
have an army on shore to see that the
Spaniards do not get away to the
interior of the island. No half way
business is wanted. It is expected
tnat the orders to blockade Cuba will
be issued not later than Sunday, and
that the fleets in Hampton Roads
and at Key 'West will move at once
and begin the work. Meanwhile, the
troops are being massed in the South
as fast as possible.
The old gold bond scheme cropped
up again this week. Those behind it
thought it possible to take advantage
of the enthused patriotism of Congress
to rush through a bill authorizing an
issue of gold bonds, but at the first
hiru of the scheme they discovered
their error. The democrats would
not go so far as to support the resolu
tion offered by Senator Allen, abso
lutely prohibiting any further increase
in the bonded indebtedness of the
country, but they will never allow a
bll providing for an issue of gold
boifds to pass, war or no-war. They
can be counted upon to give the ad
ministration every legitimate support
in raising money to conduct the war,
just as they have done up to this time,
but they will never be tricked by any
gold bond scheme.
First Reports were Exaggerated.
Reports received at the department
of agriculture at Harrisburg indicate
a rrjuch less serious injury to the fruit
crop than had been foreshadowed by
the early correspondence in reference
to it. The effect of the great frosts
was very irregular in its effects on
the blossoms. In the higher eleva
tions the damage done to fruit was
hardly appreciable, but in lower sec
tions, where moisture accumulated,
the frost wrought much havoc in many
instances. In the colder latitude of
the state very little injury was done
to fruit because Us germs were not
sufficiently advanced to make trouble.

contain Mercury,
as mercury will surely destroy the
sense of smell and completely derange
the whole system when entering it
through the mucous surfaces. Such
articles should never be used except
on prescriptions, as the damage they
will do is ten fold to the good you
can possibly derive from them. Hall's

Who Are These Spaniards
Who are these people with whom
we are on the point of having a bloody
quarrel ? They are one of the oldest
nations, as we are one of the young
est. Their history runs back more
than 2,000 years, while ours scarcely
extends beyond the time of our great
grandfathers. Our time of greatest
glory and piosperitv is the present;
their glory and prosperity is all in the
past. We are new and shining with
fresh paint; they are old, timeworn,
musty and tempered and toned by
the traditions of ages. We live in
the present; they live in the past.
They foster their pride in the con
quests Oi the sword of the long ago;
we brag and bluster over the con
quests of peace of the immediate
present. Their hills and valleys are
filled with the shades of fabulous
heroes and demigods ; ours bear the
marks of hard knocks in the struggle
for the almighty dollar. They raise
bulls, to be killed for public amuse
ment by gaily dressed matadors ; we
raise bulls to be killed by machinery,
and the bull fighting is done on the
stock exchanges.
What they call their glory was ob
tained by plunder, while ours came
from hard work. Their aristocracy is
founded largely on the butchery of
their fellow-beings; ours is founded on
the butchery of hogs, on bargain sales
or the slaughter of lambs in the stock
market. They are waiting for miracles;
we are performing miracles. They are
a decaying nation ; we are a growing
one, and one of the liveliest in the
universe. They are playing a losing
game, with the cards running against
them; we are playing a winning one
with luck running at high tide. They
are a drag upon the progress of the
world ; we are leading it at a dizzy
pace. They are an ox cart with no
grease on the axles ; we are a limited,
vestibule express train, electric-light
ed, steam-heated, and running on a
straight away course laid with 100-
pound steel rails. They are mum
mers; we are hummers.
The Spaniards never had much luck.
If they have oppressed other people,
they have had plenty of the same
medicine themselves. The Carthagen
ians were the first that brought the
Spanish peninsula to the attention
of the world. They founded colonies
along the Mediterranean. When the
Romans destroyed Carthage they fell
heir to it. It was then part of Gaul
and was called Hispania. They con
quered it and gave it the first real
start toward civilization. When the
Romans began to decay, it was con
quered with the rest of the empire by
the Goths. They grafted their lang
uage on to the Latin and gave us
Spanish ; but this amalgamation had
scarcely taken place until, in 709,
the Moors or Saracens, from Africa,
began to pour in and eventually re
duced the whole country to subjec
tion, except the northern portions.
These Moslems stayed for 700
years and the last vestige of their
authority did not vanish until just
about the time of the discovery of
America by Columbus, when the keys
of the Alhambra were surrendered to
King Ferdinand. During all of that
time almost constant war was waged
between the Moslems and the Christ
ians; and when the latter were not
fighting the invaders, they found plenty
of employment in fighting among
themselves. This period was one of
constant war, rapine and slaughter ;
but amidst it all the Moors establish
ed a high standard of civilization, for
that day, and made an impress upon
art and architecture which is still felt
in the world; while the Spaniards
developed that vigor which finally
enabled them, wnen the Moslems
got to quarreling among themselves,
to expel the invader.
Then Spain entered upon what she
regards as her era of glory. Queen
Isabella had faith in the cranky no
j tions of Columbus and' pawned her
I jewels to stake him with an ocean-
I going outfit. It was a big investment
THE COLUMBIAN. BLOOMSBURG. PA.
for Spain. She became in a short
time the great explorer and colonizer
of the world, and her brilliant con
quests were well calculated to turn
the heads of any people. Her ad
venturers went forth and conquered
and plundered the simple people of
the new world ot untold treasure,
which was poured into the imperial
treasury and into the pockets of the
people. They ravaged South and
Central America and Mexico with a
cruelty and barbarity that almost sur
pass belief. Never were there hung
rier or more inhuman freebooters
than those which she sent forth to
the western world, and never did rob
bers and pirates alight upon richer or
easier prey. Ready to hand and to
be had for the taking, from the peace
ful inhabitants, were such treasure
and wealth as the world had never
before dreamed of.
Simultaneously with these cruelties
abroad c>me the inquisition at home
and the persecution of the Jews.
Whoever reads of them will find that
the present generation of Spaniards
come by their cruel instincts honestly.
In this era Spain annexed to the
crown the major portion of the west
ern continent and seemed likely for a
time to add to it the best portions of
Europe. At one time practically the
whole of South America, Centtal
America, Mexico and the whole of
the present territory of the United
States west of the Mississippi together
with the peninsula of Florida, ac
knowledged her sway. But this era
did not last long. Her European al
liances began to fall off, the stream
of wealth from the west did not last
always, and she had not the wit nor
ability to make up for the gains of
robbery by those of industry. At the
time of the Napoleonic wars she fell a
victim to the ambition of the Corsi
can, who placed his brother on her
throne; later a Frenchman of the
house of Bourbon came to the suc
cession, and within the present cen
tury she lost all of her American pos
sessions except Cuba and Porto Rico,
which she now holds by so slender a
tiiread. She has only her pride left,
and that is founded, not upon the
present, but upon a very questionable
past.— Ex.
A Suggestion to Spain.
A writer in the New York Times
says: I find the following in my
scrap book, and as it seems apropos,
I send you the story, with the sug
gestion that you call Spain's atten
tion to it. It was taken from the
L. A. W. Bulletin , and is called
simply a boy's story.
"One time there was a young
gote wich felt butty, and they was
a old ram wich lays in the road,
half awake cliune his cud. The
gote had been shut up into a pasture
all his life, and had never saw a ram,
and he said to his sister the gote
did : " You jest stan still an' see
me wipe that freek off the earth."
"So the gote he went up before
the ram and stompt his feet an'
sliuke his head real friteful, but the
ram only kept chune his cud and
wotched out between his i lashes.
Bimeby he backed off, the gote did,
and took a run an' rose up in the
air, and come down with his hed on
the ram'shed waclc ! The gote's
hed was busted, but the old ram he
never wank his eye.
' 'Then the old ram he smiled with
his mouth an' sed to the butty gote's
sister: 'Pears to me, miss, that
kangaroo of yourn is mighty care
less where he lites ; he come gum
dashed near makin' me swaller my
cud."

ULTIMATUM.
The following statment ot the text
of the ultimatum to Spain was issued
by the State Department on Thurs
day :
On yesterday, April 20, 1898, about
11 o'clock A. M., the Department of
State served notice of the purposes of
this government by debvering to Min
ister Polo a copy of an instruction to
Minister Woodford, and also a copy
of the resolutions passed by the Con
gress of the United States on the 19th
mst. Atter the receipt of this notice
the Spanish Minister forwarded to the
State Department a request for his
passports, which were furnished to
him on yesterday afternoon. Copy of
the instruction to Woodford is here
with appended.
The United States Minister at
Madrid was at the same time instruct
ed to make a like communication to
the government of Spain. Saturday
morning the department received from
General Woodtord a telegram, copy
of which is hereunto attached, show
ing that the Spanish Government had
broken off diplomatic relations with
this government. This course renders
unnecessary any further diplomatic
action on the part of the United
States.
April 20, 1898.
Woodford, Minister, Madrid:
You have been furnished with the
text of a joint resolution voted by
the Congress of the United States 011
the 19th inst., approved to-day, in re
lation to the pacification of the island
of Cuba. In obedience to the act,
the President directs you to immedi
ately communicate to the government
of Spain said resolution with the for
mal demand of the government ot the
United States that the goverment of
Spain at once relinquish its authority
and government in the Island of Cuba
and withdraw its land and naval forces
from Cuba and Cuban waters. In
taking this step, the United States
hereby disclaims any disposition or
intention to exercise sovereignty, jur
isdiction or control over said island
except for the pacification thereof,
and asserts its determination when
that is accomplished to leave the gov
ernment and control of the island to
its people under such free and inde
pendent government as they may es
tablish.
If by the hour of noon on Saturday
next, the twenty-third day of April,
instant, there be not communicated
to this government by that of Spain a
full and satisfactory response to this
demand and reason whereby the enjls
of peace in Cuba shall be assured, the
President will proceed without further
notice to use the power and authority
' enjoined and conferred upon him by
the said joint resolution to such an
extent as may be necessary to carry
the same into effect.
(Signed) SHERMAN.
To this dispatch the American
Minister at Madrid replied as follows :
(Received 9.02 A. M.)
MADRID, April 21, 1898.
Sherman, Washington : —Early this
Thursday morning, immediately after
the receipt of your open telegram and
before I had communicated same to
Spanish Government, Spanish Minis
ter tor Foreign Affairs notified me
that diplomatic relations are broken
between the two countries, and that
all official communication between
their respective' representatives have
ceased. I accordingly asked for safe
passports. Tut 11 Legation over to
British Embassy and leave for Paris
this afternoon. Have notified Con
suls. WOODFORD.
It Travels Fast.
A comet now in the sky will be
taken as a war sign by the super
stitious. The astronomers of the
University of California at Berkeley
have completed their computation
of the comet discovered recently
by Professor Perrine of the Lick
observatory, and according to
them the comet will become bright
er and remain in sight for some
time. It is now traveling toward
the earth at the rate of i,00c,000
miles a day. For the next two
weeks it will continue to move
norteasterly at the rate of one de
gree a day north as well as east.
It is visible about 5 o'clock in the
morning. The comet is on the
western border of Pegasus and mov
ing northeast one degree daily. It
is not visible to the naked eye, but
may be seen with a small telescope.
