———e eee ee SHARP REBUKE TO M’KINLEY. Naval Service Gazette Criticises the Presi- dent’s Policy of Delay. New York, April 7.—The Naval Service Gazette in its issue of to morrow will print an editorial con- taining the following language: “There can be but little doubt that the dilatory p olicy of the pres- jdent is sickening the heart of the nation. Americans are not diplo- matic. They do not excel in the arb of polished lying. Theirs is rather a straightforward fighting spirit which leaves deception to the weak and relies for success on its own strength end the justice of its cause. Spain, cn the other hand, with a degenerate people, a depleted treasury aud a craven heart, is in no condition to be honest. She must wia ber victories by stealth and treachery. Owiog to the weakness of our president she is winning those victories. She is interfering with our official life. She is cruelly torturing people weaker than herself, and whispering words of false im- port into the ear of ovr mivister to Spain, which he repeats to the pres- ident, who treats as worthy of trast a nation whoso career of cruelty and treachery only cu!minated in the de- struction of a ship and the assassiza- tion of 266 men Wiat excuse for this delay can the president offer to the American peo ple? They have ehown him what they want. Why does he not obey the sovereign people? Why does he not listen to the voice of Goi? Are we the subjects of the president, or is he the servant of the free elec- ters? Tho latter theory has always been accepted. It seams that the presideat thinks otherwise; that he believes he can hold back a nation determined on a just war. That idea, if it is his idea, will be shatter- ed just as soon as the people realize that Mr. McKinley holds it. But inthe meantime, while he, on one pretext or another, is postponing the opening of the ball; while the people, with that trust in the men whom they place in office, and whose hands they do not wish to hamper in an affair of this kind, are slowly wearing their patience to a razor- edged keenness on the grindstone of suspense Spain is preparing to ia- flict on this country some terrible damage before she goes down to the defeat which she and every other power in Europe knows is inevitable. Delay no longer, Mr. McKinley. End this suspense. Strike quick and hard. Aga lover of peace, let awar which cannot last long and can not be avoided begin. And remember, Mr. President, that the honor of the stars and stripes is not your personal honor, but the honor of the nation, and thatitisa matter with which the nation will permit ne trifliog. Do not, in striving for the laurels of a diplomat, win the hatred of patriots. There are two names in American history which are marked for destination. Do not make a third. Arnold and Burr are enough.” onstipation Forever. carets Candy Cathartic. l0e or 25c. - fail to cure, druggists refund May Go on the Warpath. Kansas City, Mo., April 7.—The proposed withdrawal of United States troops from Arizonaand New Mexico has greatly alarmed the big cattle raisers of that section of the country. Tbey fear an outbreak by the Apaches, and have warned the department at Washington that the removal of the troops is likely to lead to a serious Indian outbreak. . There are about 38,000 Apaches in New Mexieo and they have not been any tco good tempered for some time. They have a number of real or fancied wrongs against the sattlers, and it is the belief in the Indian ceuntry that the presence of the troops is the only thing that re- strains the Apaches.

MADE MEN FAMOUS. i} What Some Women Have Bone for Some Men. To be famous nowadays is about the same as being notcr‘ous,yet tbat is almost too harsh a term. Freddie Gebhard’s long pursuit of Mra. Langtry gave him a world wide rep- utation. Howard Gould is heralded everywhere as ‘Little Brother en- amored of Katherine Clemmens.” No one ever looks at Ed Stokes without thinking of Josie Mansfield Willie K.

David Belasc» became a@ great playwright by pou.doz Mrs. Leslie Carter nearly to death De Wolf Hopper and Nat Goodwin are more renowned as than actore. Frank Ebret cannot keep his hands off an actress to save his life. Oaly George Gould's vast wealth prevents his being spoken of as the “husband of Edith Kingdon” Women make the man oftener than worth; often than she makes theteliow. Herman Oelrichs is a deservedly popular young map, and it must sting him to go through life as ‘the man who married Miss Fair.” Orm2 Wilson is the ‘“hus- band of Carrie Astor” and is satisfied to bethat. Ham Twombley is ‘son- in law of cld Vanderbilt,” and is ulso satisfied. Seward Webb ditto. Bob Cutting 1s recogniza1 wherever he goes as ths “husband of Minnie S:- ligman.” He is satistied.

He was one of the busbands of Lillian Russell.” And sO On. Mrs Thurston was a constant help meet for her husband, the senator from Nebraska. Mr. Thurston has always been somewhat diffident in manner and his ambitious, bustling, keen-witted wife did much for him in the way of encouragement and pushing ahead. Some of us old fellows do not hanker after women in politics, but we ceuldn't help ad- miring the way Mrs. Thurston cared for and guided the destinies of the senator when he presided over the republican national convention at St. Louis in 1896. Sitting on the platform immediately behind him and partly coneealed from the view of the vast audience, her keen eyes took in every sitution and whatever of passing mement escaped the senator was quickly pointed out by her. She was thoroughly familiar with polities,and possessed a wide knowl- edge of law, which enabled her to be of great assistance to her husband in preparing his briefs and speeches Had it not been for Mrs. Thurston the fine collection of convention badges in their Omaba home would not have been gathered by the sen- ator. It was one of the things he forgot, but the weman’s thoughts never wandered very far from her plan of securing a complete line of samples. At the critieal moment, as Thurston was about to retire, she tugged at his sleeve, got him on his feet and made him request that each delegation present him with a badge asa keepsake.
