A remarkable kid has been born in Tennessee. They haven’t named him Dewey.—Macon News. A Kansas woman is suing hei husband for divorce and anotiiei man for breach of promise a: the same time. Germany is courageous an< allows no transgression of hei rights, but she is also sensibh enough not to engage in a wai that gives her no occasion t< meddle and in which she coulo only take a chance of success There are reasons why Germany shold be neutral, but none why she should not. It seems as if the navy afford, ed more opportunities for con spicuous acts oi heroism than does the army. The sea is more favorable for a fearless, reckless and daredevil’spirit, for individ ual prowess for the exhibition of the spirit of chivalry’ and knighl errantry, than is the land, and each opportunity seems to have its man to fill it. How would it sound—“ Pres ident of the United States and King of Hawaii?’’ Other add - tions may come later on : “Em peror of the Philippines, Prince of Cuba, Duke of Porto Rico,” etc. There is nothing like get ting ready for the surprises which our republican friends in Washington appear to be prepar ing for the American people. These past two months show immense achievements on the part of our civil military and naval administration. Much lias been fully done, and much more has been so far accomplished that the ripe fruits are ready to be garnered. In reason and in truthful fairness, the retrospect affords ground fur congratula tion and confidence, nol lor fault finding.—Poston Advertiser. i 11 pot tillOl T THE COUNTRY 'I I- i>xt :u n ' ’iTivi nti'iii o< t'l'clil Al'-ii will be held at Buffalo In y.

The portrait of Enip ror Fred erick on the German steamer Kaiser Frederick, which cost $lB,- ()! (), was slashed to pieces by at; unknown vandal at New York. The American Institute of Ho moeopathy has been warmly wel c .'ined at Omaha, Neb., where President Wright delievered hie annual adi’ress yesterday. “A man who charges the gov ernment. three prices for some thing the government needs and must have,” says the Baltimore American, “can hardly expect to have his name put down on the roll of American patriots.” May be so, but he won’t be lone some just the same, and there ire about as many of him on the pay roll as there are patri ots in the army’ roll. It is strange to see Grover Cleveland and Wm. J. Bryan agreei .g on anything, but they are together in oppposing terri torial expansion by this country. Each has made a speech recent ly on this subject and each op posed the acquisition of addi tional territory by our govern ment. Gov. Atkinson has not yet tendered a war commission to a member of bls “numerous staff” though at least one of the Lieu tenant Colonels, an officer who was a company commander for years, has made an application.

As a matter of fact there is no tiuth in such a statement. The United States is not suggesting peace in any way except, by th; roar of artillery and the rattele o< their rifles. The Mudiid paper’s statement, however,, is very significant. It in dicates that Spain desires peace, and the suggestion of pence accr< li lted to the United States is sim ply a suggestion of what Spain would like to have the United States to do. • Pans is entertaining an “Ann Sam,” who is, however, in no wav related to Uncle Sam. “Aunt Sam’ is Madame Tiresias Simon Sam, wife of the President of Haiti.
