For every time you take a drink
It costeth fifteen cents.
In gentle spring, when flowers bloom
And little birds are here,
A man can save a dime each time
He purchaseth a beer.
Thus do such t hings arrange theniNtlves
To bless poor man—
But then he won’t save many dimes.

The rumors that occasionally
warn us of European sympathy
with Spain do not nfleet the situ
ation. It is an admitted fact, firm
as international law, that the
United States nas the right to de
mand a settlement of the Cuban!
question. Further than this, we
have not even taken a position.
The only powero that could reader
material aid to Spain are Great
Britain, Germany apd Russia. We
know the mistress of ths seas is
with us, and has been long anxious
that we should cure an evil that
might breed international trouble
at any time.
The Spanish papers assure us
that when discussing the subject
at dinner the young war-lord of
Europe “put his sword on the
table and declared that while he
was Emperor of Germany the
United States should never have
Cuba.” Now, we court Cuba as
little as Emperor William carves
bis food with a dress sword, and
so the remark, even if authentic,
touches the question not at all.
But if Cuba should prefer to take
shelter under the Starry Flag
would his Majesty of Germany say
no? We trow not.
Would Russia? TJtsfxCzar is

Lake City, March 19.—The
coroner’s inquest in the Baker
tragedy was finished to-day. Dis
trict Attorney Abial Lathrop, 80
licitor Johu S. Wilson, Poetoffice
Inspector Bull and other promi
nent people were present. The
verdict of the coroner’s jury is that
Frazier B. Baker and his child

wounds at the hands of parties un
known to the jury. There wore,
probably 150 people present, all of
whom were much interested,

Then that venerable, 1 nd digni
fied old gentleman, Francis
Joseph, of Aostria-Hnng iry f is as
sumed to be “bound by he ties of
blood to King Alphoni a XIII.”
80 he is, hut if he had tpe desire
to cast his wisdom into the game
of war he could not do more than
offer his kmspeople of the royal
family of Spain an asylum in his
dominions and a pension to sup
port them.
All of these highly esteemed
contemporaries of the United
States need their men and suns in
their home business. To them a
war between us and Spain would
be what the outbreak of a dozen
Apacho bucks in the West is to
us—a painful incident that must
cure itself as soon as it has fur
nished headlines to the news
papers for a few days. Spanish
organs of public opinion are whist
ling to keep up the courage of
their readers—they realize fully
that they are near a cemetery.
If Spain had any substantial
“backers” wonld she announce in
advance that she could not pay
the April interest on her debt?
Would she find herself utterly un
able to buy a warship or two?
Would she find it impossible to
exterminate an enemy that she
herself describes as a “few ragged
and disorganized brigands?”
Let us deal firmly and justly by
Spain, but let do outburst of in
dignation be excited against other
nations by false reports that they
would give aid and comfort to our
enemy out of mere ill will to us
There is uo evidence that any
European nation or people cher
ishes such feeling except Spain
Germany, it is true, has legislated
against our hogs and apples, but
that has been to protect her own
producers. If that argument
proves hostility, * then we hate
every one of them. This is a time
to bring cool heads to the front
and to bridle unruly tongues.

Death ol'MisN Smile Herbert.
Miss Sadie Herbert, of Leesville,
sister of Rev. Walter I. Herbert,
died on Saturday afternoon at
half past 5 o’clock. A message
conveying the sad news came
about 6.30 o’clock, aud Mr. Her
bert left oil the evening train for
the saddened home.
Miss Herbert’s illness was a long
one, and she had suflored intense
ly. She bore it all with marvel
ous patience, and when flesh suc
cumbed she passed, not into n
painless sleep, but into a painless
life. Hers was one of those rare
characters whose influence is for
naught but good. She was a noble
Christian woman, and when death
claimed the body her pure and
spotless spirit was wafted home
upon the breath of the eternal
morning.
