Printer's Ink, July '28, 1807. In view of Hit! war now almost upon it-, the following opinion of Col .Jed. Ilotchklss, of Virginia, who was on Stonewall Jni'ksoii'H stall, is interest lug if not inipoi taut! "I put -i very small valuation on big battle ships. The aru formidable in looks, but what can they accomplish? if two of them Ireil itteat'li oilier simultaneously and both .struck, two ships would undoubt edly go to tho bottom. One .shot will settle, the business of the hot one over built. They aru too clumsy, too heavy, too slow to get away. The best lighter is thu one wlio can roll eat tilekly, and to do that there must bu little Impedi ment, little weight. When men ecu tin ies ago, .sheathed both iiilr and deed in armor they thought tho had done .something womlei fully clever, but thu .sttel elad combination wasn't wculi a continental.

Now that tho uncertainty is over there is less excitement in Washington than thcru has been at any time sinco tho news of the blowing up of the Maine was received. It was not the probability of war that caused tho ex citement, but tho fear that in some way trickery Spanish diplomacy would get the best of us without giving us an opportunity to light. That fear oxisted more or less up to the moment that tho die was cast by tho president's message asking congress to provide for ftl imiiirxjuto forcible intervention to (ll-ll-n tint SJ.winiuli ll,nr mil ,f f.t,.. Although tho olncial announcement of -oPtotu the changes an armistice iuCuba declared by Spain is generally believed to be merely an other trick, it win feared that it might cause tho president to postpone his message or to change his mind about bending it in. Now those fears are all past. Gcti. Lee and all the Americans who desired to leave aro safely out of Cuba, and tho message is before con gress. Consequently there is a feeling of contentment because it is knowu that long deferred justice is about to be meted out to Spaiu by tho United States, and Yoxatious delays aro ovo Congress is practically a unit, although there aro u few individuals who would prefer proceeding a little different, nnd by the middle of the week the authority iil be placed in tho president's hands to use the United States army and uavy to drive the Spanish out of Cuba, and before thu week closes Cuba is likely to be surrounded by the most formidable licet of warships this conn try lias ever assembled under one commander, and the steps will have been taken that will send the neees s.iry troops to be lauded on Cuban soil to cooperate with our .-.hip,. The plans are all made, the -.hips have up steam ami only await the linul ordei to stall The only tiling tli.it can upset out prugiam now is the .showing of the while feather b Spun, but those who are Ihoroiuhly conversant with the Spanish character as well as with ex isting political conditions in Spain think that a big bluff at making an ag gressive war upon tho United States will be mule and kept up until there is danger not only of Spain losing Cuba but her other colonies and her entire navy. Then she will, through the Kit ropean powers sue for peace. Mean while, it is known that tho Spanish program is not to openly light our navy, but to try to use its fastest cruis ors and torpedo boats anil torpedo boat dostroyers to cripple our com morco and sea coast towns and endeav or to keep out of the way of our heavy lighting ships. Thoy will Hud, how over, that this will bo a vory dangerous sort of game to engage in. r" , UASTIsH THOUGHTS WITH J I CUBAN COLORINO. t UV "NKMO " J oy wilHlittM by pane ,V Tnlmr ) Sweet Master' Its music lingeisin our ears and our hearts have happi ness, for it bespeaks tlictiitimph ol the beautiful We know tha' tin- time n..w fowl the harsh oiilliues of the bills and the ban- trets will be soften, d Willi delicate foliage, and the blown and lui'kiiim tints ,,( il,,, uii,,.,. bound landscape be transformed into every possible tint of gieen.

Tho changes which Naturo docrees shall take place each spring aro so sovero that a breakdown is almost sure to come. It is wise thnt all possiblo assistance bo given during this poriod, as upon this purifying process depends tho henlth for tho entire summer. Everybody just now should take a thorough courso of Swift's Specific S.S.S.rfteBlood which thoroughly cleanses tho blood of all tho accumulated im purities, tones up and strengthens the ontiro svstem. and aids Nntnrn in renovating and renewing tho body so as to rondor it healthy and strong. Those who purify their blood with S. S. S. at this season are well fortified against tho many forms of disease so prevalent dur ing the dreaded heated term, for it has been demonstrated that the system that is thoroughly purified in the spring is well prepared to resist diseaso all summer. No other remedy on tho market is equal to Swift's Speoifio as a spring medicine, because it is the only purely vegetable blood rem edy and is guaranteed absolutely freo from potash, mercury and all other minerals. It cleanses, puri fies, builds up and strengthens. Insist on S. S. S., for there is noth ing half ns good. Another lot on the road. We are selling more machines than anybody.
