It is auuounced, with large headlines, that President EJcot McKinley is not in favor of a war with Spain. Who ia iu favor of a war with Spain? Are the craehos and bank failures in Chicago, St. Paul and elsewhere an evidence of the returned prosperity we have heard about? Just vtaen it Eeetns that the American centerbcard vacht is going out aud is to be supplanted by the English deep keel patten] along cmne Williain King and Kicbmoncl J. Martínez, yacht dosigners of Kew Orleaiis, with a yacht of the original American kind, and 011e that cutcouterboards anything evcrheard of. At the bottom of the huil of their yacht ia a doublé keel. Bctween thetwo sides of this keel au enormous ceuterboard, one that eau scrape the mud off the botton] of the sea half a ruile down, inore or less, is affixed. Thecenterboard is in scctions, which fit inside of one another like the parts of a telescope. At a moderate deptb a doublé section of the board is let down. At a greater deptb another doublé section, a section on each side, is dropped between-tbe first two boards. The process may be repeated the third time.

Woolsey, the eminent professor of international law at Vale, rnay be taken in preference to that of a senator or representativo in congress. In regard to Cuban recognition, Professor WoolEey's verdict ia plaiuly in accord witb common sense and jnstice wnen he says that Cuban belligerency must be recognized ahead of Cuban iudependence. Cuba has not yet attained her iudependence. She has attained a state of war, a largo and undeniable war, and she is keeping it up increasingly. Senator Hill's resolution, therefore, that the United States accord to Cuba the rights of a nation at war is the proper one to be passed by congress hefore one recognizing full independence.. When aiiy evcnt, like marriage, business promotion orappointnient to office, brings a peraon temporarily into prominenoe, it is hard to see what end can be gaincd by a newspaper nosing iuto the person's past history and reprinting circnmstantially in connection with hini Eome old scandal or unpleasant item that belongs to the dead and gone. This may show a nose for news, but it is a uose that, like the hyena or carrion bird, fiuds sweet savors ainong corpses. It is uot exactly the noseone would like to find on bis friend or daily associate. A Germán invention is a bicyclethat rnns 24 railes an hnur and is operated by benzine power inEtead of leg and foot power. Tbere are two objections to its general nse, apparently. One is that no trne cycler would be willing to forego the exhilarating exeroise of pedaling bimself along by his own motive power. The other is that with ever so tiny a tank of ignited benzine under him tbere would always be the disturbing reflection that he might at any time blow up, like a kitchen stove.
