YOUNG Mr. Bailey should remember that it is not parliamentary to try stampeding Congress like a herd of TexaB steers.

THE Spanish statesmen who think the Southern States would co-operate with Spain in case of war will do well to keep out of the Southern States.
A S A climax is about to be reached in Havana the United States Government needed a strong man at the helm and wisely selected Commodore Sampson.
TnE Bloomington papers announce that William Jennings Bryan will lecture at the State University next month "for the benefit of the Athletic Association." William's ability to cover territory certainly entitles him to recognition as

THE TOIJKEIs'S SYSTEM. Among the subjects to be acted upon by the next legislature we hope will be included the Torrens System of Land Transfer. The evils of the present system are well known. They are: 1. The expense involved, estimated in the opinion of the best judges to be not less than 810,000,000 a year in the State of Illinois. 2. The delay involved in our present system. 3. The uncertainty—an objection of the greatest consequence. Few land-owners can be absolutely certain that their title is clear, and many good judges estimate that at least 20 per cent, of all land titles in our States are clouded.
The Torrens System proposed as a cure for these evils has proved successful during more than H0 years in Australia and more than ten years in Canada. It consists, brieily, in the registration of titles instead of deeds, and the transfer by registration instead of by passing»of deeds. The registration is official, and the State, in elfeet, guarantees the title. One page of the registration book shows the exact state of the title at any time, so that there is no delay and very little expense involved in seeing at iany time the exact state of the jtitle, and the title is indefeasible.
The law provides for all forms of dealing in land sales, mortgages, incumbrances of all/okind6. Constitutional objections are met by providing for the clearing up of doubtful titles by a short statute of limitation, as well as by a proviso, either, as in the proposed law in Massachusetts, which .gives the registrar judicial powers, or as in the Illinois law, which provides that he shall be the legal arbitrator between buyer and seller. The law may provide thatjthe owner by bringing his land under the act "makes an agreement to run with the land that the registrar may supervise the changes in title that may thereafter take place andidecide all questions of form and substance that may arise in any such change, and give conclusive certificate for all titles upon such transfer." The system is simple, cheap, has been tested by experience, and insures an absolute and indefeasible title, thus increasing the number of transfers and the value of the land.
rjicoiisciou* Advertising,
Some people won't advertise, but they put signs over their doors, send out traveler*, print their imprints on their envelopes and letter heads and checks, pay for extra large type in the business directories, and watch the trade papers for items of personal mention. A man sometimes snores in his sleep, but he is unconscious of it.
DON'T miss attending the grand opening at the Trade Paiace next week and don't miss competing for the elegant prizes. Read in act in this paper for particulars. .»

RESENTED.
Jiimeo IS. lSlmore, the Bard of liipley, Keplies to a Slur on IIis Poetry.
When THE JOURNAL last week received a poem extolling the virtues of sassafras, to which poem was affixed the signature of James B. Elmore, we thought that the poet was nodding. The poem failed to contain the lire and the sweet rythmical flow which characterizes the productions of the genius of old Ripley, still it was published for the sake of the signature it bore, as indeed, are many other productions we wot of in the leading papers and magazines of the land. We are glad to state this week that the poem bore a forged name. Mr. Elmore didn't write it as the following from him will show: "Mil ISMTOH:—There was a piece of stale noetry in your most excellent paper of last week on sassafras which was attributed to James B. Elmore. I would 6ay it is no child of mine. It is an illegitimate offcast or else its father would have owned it. My poems are printed over my signature. The following is a genuine in compliment to the so called fake:
DUI)IC ANI) SASSAFRAS.
Some people feign would he a poet With their cheek of brazen brass. As they li 11 their empty stomachs
With the juice of sassafras.
They are dudes from IU the city, With a pole and line for bass. As ttiey stroll by sparkling brooklets
Hunting roots of sassafras.
Some bring their paramour and llagons Pilled with corn fermented pis, As they walk the dells and valleys
Inpursuitof sassafras.
When their blood is dark and ruddy. And ilieir skin is a mottled mass, They take a small decoction
From t.he roots of sassafras.
Some mistake the characteristics Of.this tree with boughs like tinted grass, And have used the nauseous elder.
Which removed their brain in mass.
Now when your mind is wandering, And your meter is stale in cast.. Don't insinuate on bards and farmers,
Hut just take your sassafras. Alamo, Ind. JAS. U. ELMOKE."

CRITICAL SITUATION
Last Stage of Negotiations Willi
Spain Have Been Reachcd.
CRISIS BELIEVED TO BE NEAR
Proposition SUBAN'tted by This Country Contemplates Cessation of Hostilities, Kelum of Kt*concentralo8 to Tlieir
Homes and tho Judepeixlmice of Cuba—Denial by Long.
Washington, March 31.—Tho critical situation existing between this country and Spain, caused by tho demands o' the president that all negotiations must, tend to 1lie independence of Cuba itnd the intimation, from Madrid that the Spanish government is, for tho first, time, considering the situation in that light, occasioned Ihe greatest interest here, coupled with no little excitement, as word was passed about that the last stage in the negotiations with Spain was reached. Many representative men of congress called at tho white house and conferred with the president. To the leaders in congress he stated that deiinire results were expected from Madrid by Friday. This served to allay the intense feeling which had been manifested ill congress, and through tho influence of the leaders further radical action by the senate and house was for the time beiug deferred.
SITUATION SHIFTED.
lielievt'ri tile Crisis Will Come la a Short Time. Washington, March 31.—Tho viral point on the Cuban situation, namely: independence, has shifted itself from Washington to Madrid where the Spanish government is now giving grave and earnest consideration to propositions presented by the government of the United States. On t.lie answer to these propositions probably denends 1 lio future course of the relations between Spam and tho United States. It is believed that it is now but a question of an exceedingly snore time before tho inevitable crisis must come.
The propositions submitted by this country contemplate a complete and immediate cessation of hostilities in Cuba, the return of the reconeeutradoes to their usual avocations, and the independence of Cuba, tho last reature is to bo secured probably on an indemnity basis by which the island would pay a substantial sum for its freedom from Spanish rule. It has been inn do perfectly clear to Spain that nothing less than a close of the war and the independence of the island will suiiico as an adequate settlement. It is now for Spain to accept or reject these tenders.
Involves a Crisis In Spain.
Never before until now has the Spanish government even for a moment entertained such propositions. i\ow, in the stress of the present emergency, with the declarations of war introduced in the American congress, Spain has reluctantly consented to consider them. This itself has given lively hope of satisfactory result. But it involves a grave crisis in Spain, and it cannot be foretold what the fiual action at Madrid will be.
Heretofore it was believed that Spain would indignantly reject a proposition involving the independence of Cuba, or American intervention, or the disappearance ol tho Spanish flag from the island, either through purchase by the Cubans or otherwise. There was the best of reason for the official belief that as between pcaco and war on these propositions, Spam would choose war, but more hope apparently is entertained here of Spain being in a yielding mood, as the American plans for solution are being carelully weighed with a view to a filial decision. As stated, that answer is believed to Vie only a question of perhaps two or three da vs.
consul LKIC.
lie 11 AS UIM'IJ Warned Five Times of I'lotH Against His Lite.
Havana, March 31.—Consul General Leo continues as cheerful as sunlight, despite the tact, that he was warned last Sunday and Monday of live distinct plots against his life. Of course he does not give credence to such stories, and he is carefully guarded by the government, but continued warnings of this kind are not a pleasant mental diet. The last story was that ho would bo poisoned by a bribed employe of his hotel. To this, General Lee replied by asking the newspaper correspondents who sit near him at meal time, in case he is suddenly taken ill, first to shoot his waiter and then to run for a stomachpump.
Secrecy at War and Navy Department. Washington, March 31.—The greatest secrecy prevails in many of the bureaus of the war and navy departments in regard to the various projects of defence and naval movements now going on and the officials iu many cases positively refuse to make public steps that have been determined upon. Captain Crowmshield of tho bureau of navigation has issued explicit order forbidding subordinates to make public any information except on permission from himself.
