EITHBR the Cuban revolutionists are gaining Borne remarkable victories, or their press agent is far superior to the one employed by the Spaniards.
JUSTICE is sure, sooner or later, to overtake every malefactor. The author of "Sweet Mt»rle" is lyiDg at the point of death in a Baltimore hospital, as the result of a surgical operation.
THE Democrats are evidently not go ing to trust entirely to Tammany for success in the New York election this fall. Their state convention at Syracuse this week, for the first time since 1894, was opened with prayer.
WE have beaten the Britons in the yacht races, and at athletics and about the onlj7 way they can get ahead of us is in capturing our h»!ress'«, at which they have Dja'i-e a success. The latest catch is that mada by the young Duke of Marlborough, who is to wed Miss Vanderbilt, whose father and mother were divorced a few months ago on account of the father's attention to other women. The young lady will have a dowry of ten million dollars, which makes her an at tractive figure in the eyes cf the broken down grandees, who have plenty of blue blood but no money.
^TEDDY" ROOSEVELT has the pluck and nerve of true greatness. He has probably been cursed in more different laDgubg"" than nny other living man because of his strictenforcementof theex cise laws in New York, and yet when he was invited to view the parade of the Liberal Sunday Laws so ieties the other day, he accepted the invitation, and witnessed the parade from the same stand with the people who were abusing him. One of the most ardent advocates of a wide open Sunday said of him after the parade: "I can't help admiring Roos»e volt's pluck even if we don't agree him, everybody admires a obap who is honest and has sand
YOUNG rami in this vicinity out of a job, and looking for a soft one, are referred to tiie offer of a rich Chinese merchant of San Jose, Cal., who proposes to give a half interest in his immense mer ohandlsing business at that place, and $5,000 in cash, to the young man who will marry his daughter, Moi Lee. Hip Sing Lee, who makes the offer, is somewhat smarter than some of the eastern toadies who are in the market for bus bands for their daughters, for the main condition that he makes is that the sue oessful suitor must be some respectable young American. He draws the line on the played out soions of the eflete monarchies of the old world.
AN assistant seoretary of the treasury department is making a tour of Europe, examining into tbe workings of our consular system, with a view of recommending the transfer of its control from the Btate to the treasury department. Something ought to be done to inorease its usefulness in building up the foreign trade of this country. England's con sular appointments are made with the Idea of adding to that mntry's foreign trade, while with us they are doled out as a sort of political reward to the faithful. An illustration of the opportunities offered consuls to improve our trade is shown by a statement of tbe foreign trade of Japan for 1894. During tb\t year the Japanese sent goods to the United States valued at $22,000,000, while we sold them only $5,500,000 worth of •our products.
AT a ministers' meeting in Chicago this week one of the members of the oloth endeavored to show that the ohurohes of to-day are catering to tbe rioh and fashionable member# of society, to the neglect of the poor who live so far away from the boulevards and fashionable dlstrlots of the large cities as to be beyond tha reach of the Word. He offered some startling statistics to prove the strength of his position, too. In the twenty-eight wards of Chicago there are 415 ohurohes, of which 340 are protestant, fifty-eight Catholic and seventeen Jewish, but he cited an Instance of one ward containing a population of over 42,000 sou Is, of whom nearly 22,000 are Araeri cans, In whloh there is not a church in whloh the Kngllsh language is spoken. Other wards he mentioned are In almost bad a condition, while In the fine residence district on tbe w«*t side of tee great city there are thirty-nine protestant churches. The minister who made
these
wmm
statements said that he considered such a condition of affairs a practical abandonment of the poor by tbe church In the middle of the American continent. la the eighty five years of Its existence tbe American board *f foreign missions, which is the oldest foreign missionary society In tbe United State*, has expended nearly thirty millions of dollars In establishing some five hundred churches and carrying thegospel to
other lands, and the result has been tb*t 180,000 heathen have been converted to Christianity. It wonld be interesting to know the number of souls that could be saved in the slums of the great cities by the expenditure of a small portion of this immense amount that has been used In spreading the gospel in foreign lands. The recent massacre of missionaries In China has no doubt converted many to the opinion that gospel spreading, like charity, should begin at home. Ui-?
THH recent Illinois legislature passed a law making it an offense to open or conduct a barber shop on Sunday, and the very men it was supposed would oppose It beoause it might cause a re duction in their wages, the journeymen barbers, have proved its strongest defenders. The law was pretty generally observed In Chicago last Sunday, and a most enthusiastic meeting was held on Monday to raise money to proseoute those who violated it. It is pretty safe to say that if all reasonable laws looking to the general observance of the Sabbath were given a strict enforcement for a certain length of time the number of their opponents would be lessened by practical demonstration of the benefits to be derived therefrom, and the great est falling off'would be shown to be among those who now so violently op pose such laws
IT is quite an oasis in the desert of judicial opinions upholding corpora tions to find a judge who believes that workmen have some show for their "white alley." In Toledo this week Judge Pratt decided that while a road had aright to discharge an employe it must not follow him thereafter, and prevent him from obtaining employ ment with other roads, and if it does pursue such a plan it can be held liable for damages. Common sense, which is supposed to be the basis for all laws—but unfortunately is not—would decide that a man is not necessarily compelled to move off the earth because he has incurred the ill will of a railroad, or any other corporation, and if some of the companies are compelled to pay big damages for black listing ex employes since the big strike of last year, and thereby deprivng them of employment, there will be great satisfaction in it for the majority of people.
ABOUT the most practical piece of civil service reform attempted by the present administration is* that placing every consulate, the salary of which is not more than $2,500 or less than $1,000 per annum, under the civil service ruits Under tbe new ruling vacancies in the consular service in tbe class named will be by promotion, by which a class of men experienced in consular duties will be given a ohance to better their conditions, and thus improve the service Fewer changes ai made in this service, with the change of administration, than in any other bj^ncti of government employ, and many of the present consuls in tbe service have he'd their positions for years There is a great chance ior improving the consular service, and the ruling just made will have the tesult of improving it. The suspicion that the change was mado for tbe purpose of perpetuating in office members of tbe Democratic faith does not lessen the chances for good results.
THE natives of Florida don't pray to God to save their daughters from "nigger" husbands, as was done in this state during the war, nor do they ask for divine aid to prevent their children from associating with colored children in the schools, either public or private. They simply pass laws making it a penal of fence for any Individual or Individuals to conduct in that state any school, public, private or parochial, wherein white persons and negroes shall be instructed or boarded within the same building, or taught in tbe same class or at the same time by the same teacher. A conviction for this offense, under a new law which took effect this month, Is punishable by a fine of not less than $150 and imprisonment for not less than six months. As fifty per cent, of the colored population of Florida, as shown by the \ast census, Is illiterate, the new law does not seem to indicate that the ruling class in tbe Everglade state is very much concerned in a solution of the negro problem, or the raising of the standard of learning among the blacks. The passage of such a law, however, was not surprising in a state where nearly twelve per cent, of the native white population over ten years of age is unable to either read or rite. ,---v $100 Dollars Reward.
The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to cure in all its stages, and that ia Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure Is the only positive cure known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a constitutional disease, requires a constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and tnuoous surfaces of the system, thereby destroying the foundation of the disease, and giving the patient strength by building up the constitution and assisting nature in doing its work. The proprietors have so much faith in its curative powers, that they offer One Hundred
Dollars for any case that It falls to cure Send for list of testi monials Vddress, F. J. CHENEY A CO., Toledo, O.
