I'ROK. WlIiMAM W. UlHDSAM,, tho
uowly-i'leeteil President of Swarth
more college, comes of Quaker stock.
Since 180:1 he has been head of the
famous Friends' central school, of
Philadelphia, and has dono much to
strengthen and build it up.
A Prrrsliuitu preacher hits the
jingos on the knuckles in this stylo :
"It is an easy thing to advocate war
1,000 or more miles away. Those
jingoes aro bold and brave until tho
conflict is on, 1 nt place thorn in tho
thick of tho light, under the trying
ordoal of battle, and thoy nio
cowards. Such men are impatient
with the President and heap insults
on his head and burn him in effigy
because he did not declare hostilities
when tho Maine was blown up. It
was a great provocation and a
dastardly crime, if dono by or with
tho knowledge of the Spaniards, but
President McKinley and his advisors
have acted wisely in going slow."
The True Statesman.
In every stage of tho Spanish
Ainorican dillioulty President Mc
Kinley has shown himself to bo tho
true statesman and loyal, patriotii
American. "1 pray God that we may
bo able to keep peace." These are
the words of President McKinley,
spoken to a committee appointed by
members of tho House to confer with
him with the purpose of finding what
action ho proposes to take toward
Spain. And thoy aro words that are
echoed in the heart of every wise pa.
triotic citizen of tlio United Htiites.
TIi ero is no popular demand for war,
but there is n strong liopo in the
breast of tho American people that
The patriots of Cuba may bo given
the enjoyment of complete liberation
from the yoke of Spain.
The President was well aware that
it is unwise to light unless wo are
ready to fight, lie fully appreciated
the need of a united country in meet
mg a foreign foe. With confidence
he applied to tlio patriotism of the
American Congress. In thisuatlonal
emergency he was too great to treat
as a partisan opportunity what con-
corned all alike. Ho called to the
Executive, chamber tho leaders of
tho land, Democrats and Uopnblicans
alike. By his tact, by his manliness,
by the greatness of his charactur,
President McKinley did more, in
these last fow weeks, to reunite the
United States of America than had
been accomplished in tho three and
thirty years since civil war closed in
Bulletiness and resentment. As one
man the chosen of the people sus
tained the Executive, and us ononiau
will they stand at his back in the
thickest of tho troubles which the
crisis may bring.
Tho one great aim of tho President
is the Independence of Cuba. If this
can bo accomplished without blood
shed, it is host that It should. To
light Isiiotalways courageous or com
mendable. This nation has advanced
so far upward in tho scale of civiliza
tion and enlightenment that it
shrinks from the savagery, brutality
and horrors of war. It is to its honor
and glory that this is true.
President McKinley believes that
In this emergency war should bo ro
sorted to only as a -last menus of ef
fecting tho purpose upon which the
people aro bent. And ho is right;
eminently right. There is nothing
cowardly In Ills notion. Ho is care
fully considering the best interests of
tho people whoso chief servant he is.
He is faithfully performing; his duty,
and in tho end his great good sense,
his splendid patriotism and his
mighty courage will bo understood
and keenly appreciated.
The spectacle of tho President
going his way, steadily, calmly and
firmly, undismayed ny domestic
clamor nor tho threats of tho foo, is
worthy of tho best days of tho best
sons of tlio Republic.

Madrid, April 8. Tho ambassadors
of France, Germany, Kussla and Italy
waited OiKPther last ovenlntf upon Se
nor Gullon, the foreign minister, and
presented a joint nnto In the Interests
of peace. Senor Gullon, replying, de
clared that the members of the Spanish
cabinet were unanimous In consider
ing that Spain had readied "the limit
of International policy In the direction
of conceding the demands and allowing
tho pretensions of the United States."
To the qoestlon whether United States
Minister Woodford has demanded his
passports a negative reply Is given, but
the belief Is expressed here that he will
soon iult Madrid.
Several of the papers publish state
ments by Lieutenant General Correa,
minister of war, apparently authentic,
In which he denies that the government
is threatened with a ministerial crisis,
lie Is represented as saying that when
the dispute with the United States en
tered the acute stace all resolved to
stand firm. The minister of war con
tinued: "Having examined the Cuban
cabinet's manifesto, I loyally Informed
my colleagues that I could not sanction
the expression 'Cuban nation' In rela
tion to an armistice, or certain other
expressions, especially 'suspension of
hostilities,' which could not be em
ployed without dishonoring the army
unless In response to a petition ema
nating from tho Itisursents. Senor
Moret, desiring to avoid a conflict,
criticized the attitude of myself and
other ministers, but our arguments
convinced him."
Referring to the possibility of a con
flict with the United States, General
Correa Is represented as expressing a
hope that It may still be averted, "be
cause It Is not known that President
McKlnley's message to the American
congress will refer either to Independ
ence or to Intervention."
General Correa added: "In thus
changing his attitude President Mc
Kinley responded doubtless to Spain's
determined conduct, and had we not
bowed our heads at the time we suf
fered our first humiliation we should
not find ourselves where wo are today.
I am not of those who blindly shout
'victory,' should there be a rupture and
hostilities, but I believe that of the two
evils war Is preferable."
From a source that Is unofllclal, but
trustworthy, It Is learned that the cab
inet council last night discussed Senor
Polo de Bernabe's cablegram saying
that the European representatives In
Washington had delivered a collective
note to President McKinley, the prob
ablo result of which would be a paclllc
resolution. The Initiative of the note
Is supposed to have come from Franco
and Russia. It Is believed here now
that the powers' note explains the fact
of President McKlnley's postponement
of hts message until Monday, rather
than the pretext given out to enable
Americans to withdraw from Cuba
prior to hostilities.

Key West, Fla April 8. Conditions
here have undergone u decided change
In consequence of the Washington ad
vices as to Consul General Lee's ap
proaching doiKirture and the firm at
titude of the administration from thp
disappointment and chagrin that fol
lowed Wednesday's paclllc advices from
Madrid. The latest news has aroused
the bellicose spirit to a greater degree
than ever. Naval men believe that a
conlllct Is a question of a few days
only, and tho long delay has merely
Increased the ardor of the man, who are
constantly In readiness for a call to
quarters.
The enthusiasm Is especially marked
on board the flagship New York. When
tho news was conveyed there Captain
Sampson maintained his customary
reticence, but the other officers weie
confident that It meant hostilities un
less there should be a complete sur
render on the i art of Spain, which la
now regarded as remote.
The most significant development Is
the orders just received from the navy
department on the plan of action. These
provide that In the event of a blockade
of Havana or Matanzas the first line
of battle nearest the shoto will be com
posed of torpedo boats and tugs, the
second of cruisers, such as the Marble
head, Detroit, Cincinnati and Nash
ville and the gunboat Helena, and the
third of the battleships Indiana and
Iowa and the flagship New York.
In case of an attack on the American
fleet by any small vessels these will be
engaged by the first two lines, the
plan being to afford the greatest pro
tection to the battleships from the tor
pedo boats of the enemy. Should the
attack be by a superior force, such as
the Vlzcaya or Alrnlrante Oquendo, the
flrst two lines would retire, leaving the
attacking vessels to be engaged by the
battleships. AVhlle It Ib accepted here
as a foregone conclusion that this plan
will be executed should necessity arise,
It comes from the department moro as
a suggestion than as an order, and
Captain Sampson has full authority
to vary the plan or ignore It at will,
The Mascotte arrived here today
with 74 passengers. Many persons aro
holding back to the last available hour,
on the strength of favorable peace ru
mors that are afloat In Havana. Tho

Charleston, W. Va., April 8. Marga
ret Mather, the actress, died hero last
night. While playing the cave scene In
the fourth act of "Cymbellne" In this
oity Wednesday night she collapsed,
and was carried off the stage In an un
conscious condition, and never regained
consciousness. She died of convulsions,
caused by acute Ilrlght's disease.
Margaret Mather, as she was known
on the stnge, was Margaret Flnlayson.
She was born In 1SG2. Her father, John
Flnlayson, Is still living In Detroit.
Margaret passed her childhood among
squalid surroundings, and after she loft
home, a half grown girl, she engaged
as dishwasher In tho rtussell House.
Having a chance some time later to
join a barn storming troupe sho availed
herself of It, with the result that In
18S0, while In New York, she attracted
the attention of Mnnager James Hill,
who persuaded her to take a course
In a training school. After two years
of study of the part of Juliet she made
her debut In Chicago In 1882. Miss
Mather had been twice married, her
first husband being Kmll Habercorn,
an orchestra leader. She was divorced
from him, and shortly afterward mar

WHAT IT INDICATES
Nothing so interferes with one's plans or
ambition like sickness or poor health. Have
jouever thought that j'our kidneys may lie the
cause of your sickness? You can easily find
out by setting aside your urine for twenty-four
hours ; a sediment or settling indicates an un
healthy condition of the kidneys. lien urine
stains linen it is evidence of kidney trouble.
i'oo frcnuent desire to urinate or pain in tile
hack, is also convincing proof that the kidneys
nnd bladder are out of order.
It is a source of comfort to know that Dr.
Kilmer's Swamp Root is the great remedy for
ill kidney and bladder complaints. It relieves
pain, stitch or dull aching in the hack, difficult
or painful urination, freijuent desire to urinate,
scalding or pain in passing it, and quickly
overcomes that unpleasant necessity of being
compelled to get up many times during the
night. The mild and extraordinary effect of
Swamp-lioot is soon realized. Its action is
cntle, yet immediate, the relief speedy and
the cures permanent. At druggists fifty cents
and one dollar. You may have a sample bottle
and pamphlet, both sent free by mail upon
receipt of three two-cent stamps. Men
tion 11 URAI.D and send your address to Dr.
Kilmer & Co., llinghatntoii, N. Y. The
proprietors of this paper guarantee the genuine
ness of this offer.

lias lamo hack mid weak kidneys, malaria or
nervous troubles. Wo mean bo can cure
