SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 29, 1896.

FBOH all reports that reach us regarding the Cuban revolution the new Captain General will have to use some more vigorous crushing method than proclamations. They do not seem to crush to any alarmiifg extent.

HORACE BOIES, who was once heralded, after his election as governor of Iowa, as the Moses who was destined to lead the Democratic party out of bondage, is a much smarter man than he has been credited by the people with being. He positively refuses to be a candidate for president this year.

THE acknowledgement of the belligerency of the Cuban revolutionists might be a departure from strict diplomatic customs and usages, but it would come nearer striking a popular chord in the American breast than anything the present administration could do—and it hasn't done so very many things to oommend itself to tbe average American.

ALL hail to the good sense of Judge Grosscup, of the United States court, at Chicago, who refused to change his sentence of Dunlop, the publisher of an obscene newspaper, because of Dunlop's effort to show that he is a sufferer from a disease that confinement will aggravate and perhaps cause his death. He should have thought of that contingency when he was publishing such obscene matter.

THE effects of the Cuban revolution on the business interests of that island is shown by the fact that of 861 of the im portant sugar factories there only thirtytwo are running, and the normal output of the island, 1,500,000 tons will be reduoed this season to 100,000 tons. The other nd ustries of the island are no doubt affected to the same extent, and the end of the war seems no nearer now than months ago, when the Insurrection began. ..

HAVING whipped China unmercifully Japan is now spoiling for a fight with Russia over the Corean question. Their success in the Chinese war was so flattering to tbe Japanese that they now think they can whip any nation on the face of the earth, and it is very likely that if the Russiau government insists on a continuance of tbe position it has assumed in the Corean difficulty that the Chrysanthemum people will challenge tbe Russian bear to a battle to the death. Tbe Japs are now suffering with a dreadful ease of what is popularly, and expressively, known as "swell-head," and it may require a few rounds with the minions of the White Czar to materially reduce that swelling.

PUBLIC officers who objeot to having newspapers criticise their actions as servant* of the people must learn that that is on!* of the privileges of tbe newspapers, and is so held by the courts. Not long ago a New York judge deoided, in a case of libel brought by a publio official against a newspaper for oritioizlng some of bis actions,, that criticism of a publio offloer on the part of a newspaper is a publio duty, and reoently a court in St Louis sustained that view by dismissing a similar case and ruling that no aotion oan lie against a newspaper for suoh aotion, unless it be prompted by malice which must be cleaily shown. Suoh decisions establish the freedom of the press, which is of even greater value to the publio man than to the newspapers oonoerned. ____________________

ONE of the prominent society ladies of Washington has been fined five hundred dollars, and compelled to serve a sentenoe of three hours in jail, for killing a oolored boy whom she found attempting to steal apples on the premises of her father. The jail sentence she spent in the parlors of the matron of that estab lishment. Had her oolor been blaok, and the boy that was killed a white one, she probably would, ere this, have been hanged as high as Haman. Bnt being the daughter of one of the prominent offloer* of the United SUtea army jus tic* oould not permit of her getting a more severe sentence than the one named. And then we wonder at the existence of the feeling that there are two kinds of justloe—one kind for the poor, and an other for the rioht

TUB people of Chicago are wonderfully worked np over the reoent action of the counoil committee on finanoe in cutting the appropriation for the publio schools for the ourrent year nearly two million dollars. It is claimed that the cut will materially affect the efficiency of the public schools, and cause a reduction in the salaries of all the teachers. Tbe council has steadily refused to increase the revenues of the city by dla posing of valuable municipal franchises without receiving any revenues therefrom, and now that expenses must be reduced the cut to made lnsdcpart-

ment that can least afford it. The action of the council committee does not meet with popular approval, and it is very likely that the party responsible for this aotion, the Republican, will meet with a reverse in the next city election as a result of its indiscreet action.

IT would be unnatural for a father to refuse to stand by a son accused of a crime, no matter how bad it might be, bnt the position taken by the Rev. D. M. Wood, of Greencastle, regarding his son, who is accused of being implicated in the terrible Pearl Bryan murder at Cincinnati, is not calculated to gain him muoh sympathy. He seeks in a public interview to create the impression that the poor dead girl was responsible for the part that his "innocent" son took in the acquaintanceship that led to tbe girl's ruin and death. If he thinks this it were better unsaid, at least publicly, for the effort to free his son from the charges that have been made against him by reflection on the dead girl is far from manly. The father may have some inside souroes of information, but so far as the public is informed the son is a very degenerate son of an estimable sire, and is entitled to no sympathy for the predioament in which he has placed himself/.

A FEW years ago the Salvation Army, and its methods, was the object of ridicule on the part of m$ny who are interested in the work of reform that is such a part of the labor of the followers of General Booth. Its uniforms were burlesqued on the stage and its headers ridiouled, but now its work has become so Important that when an order was issued recently transferring the command of the Amerioan braneh of the army from Baliington Booth to another, many of the prominent men of the country used their every effort to prevent such a change, on tbe. theory that the transfer would work an injury to a worthy oause. A system of Christian work that can accomplish suoh a revolution in public sentiment must have many good features about it, and those who are interested in such work may justly hope that the talk of dissensions that are likelly to arise on account of the proposed change may be prevented, and the good work continue with all its former force. The titles which, all of its members enjoy and the pomp and oeremony that aooompany its work may seem far fetched, but there oan be no question that in the slums and dives of the greater oities the Salvation Army is doing a good work that no other churoh organization is able to accomplish.

As a rule there area lot of freaks who ride into prominence on a political tidal wave, and the legislatures now in session demonstrate this fact very foroibly. In the New Jersey legislature this week an assemblyman introduced a bill prohibiting the use of the new rays In opera glasses in theaters. The bill was ruled out of order, but this did not deter another member of the same body from bringing in a freak bill that thus far stands at the head of its class. It is entitled "An act to assist in populating the township sohool districts of New Jersey." The bill provides that on and after January 1st, 1897, there shall be paid from the treasury of the state to the collectors of the townships for this purpose $25 for the parents of the first child born in said township after that date, the payment to be made when tbe ohild is three months old and a doctor certifies that it is in good physical condition. Fifty dollars is to be paid for the seoond ohild born after that date In each family, 975 for the third, 9100 for the fourth, and continuing in the same ratio until the twelfth child, all children being subjeot to the same conditions as named in the first. The farmer legislator who introduced the bill made a speech in its favor in whioh he asked why it vrm not just as proper for the state to foster a bounty on children as it doos on other things. But in spite of his eloquence it is not at all likely that the bill to foster tbe baby industry will become a law in that state.

The Republicans may have control of the senate so far as getting possession of some of the offices is conoerned, but they fall short of being in absolute control of that peculiar body, as was demonstrated this week, when the effort to take up the emergency tariff bill was defeated by a combination of the free silver Democrats and Republicans and the Populists. The defeat was so decisive that it praotically guarantees that there will be no further tariff legislation during the next four years, unless the free oolnage of silver is secured. The free silver senators will have oontrol of the senate for four years to come, and they have announced themselves as opposed to "class legislation," meaning the tariff, unless they oan secure olacs legislation for their silver mines. The peculiar significance of the free silver vote is emphasised in the aotion of Senator Carter, of Montana, who Is chairman of the national Republican oommlttee. Senator Frye, in dlsonssing the defeat of the emergenoy bill, deolared that it is '^as dead as Julius Cieaar," and that in the interests of bnsinees it should be so understood, although Senator Sherman announced that he would again call it up. This rule or ruin policy of the silver senators has prevented the government from securing an increase of the necessary revenues of the government, and deprived the Republicans of oonsiderable campaign capital. Senator Teller, of Colorado, one of the leaders in the silver movement, declared that the Republican silver senators denied the right of any one to read them out of the party, but as they have deolared themselves as opposed to one of the cardinal prlnclplea of that party unless they oan seeuie unusual oonoes-

THE people of Chicago went wild over "Teddy" Roosevelt, the New York police reformer, while he was in that city last Saturday to deliver an address in commemoration of Washington's birthday, and he waB kept busy delivering speeches all the time he was there. He was heralded as the practical reformer of modern municipal affairs, and wherever he spoke on the subjeot of muniolpal government he was received with the wildest enthusiasm. Chloago seems to be in such a condition that the subject of muniolpal reform is a burning one, and it remains to ba.seen whether it vrtp interest in that subjeot or curiosity to see and hear a man who ..had the backbone to defy the leaders of his own part# as well as those of his opponents, in go ing about a reform badly needed—and whioh he has apparently accomplished. Roosevelt lacks muoh of being a fluent publio speaker, and yet his addresses were received with as muoh enthusiasm as if they had been filled with rounded sentences and burning eloquence. The talk about reform in the methods of conducting municipal affairs is perhaps: younger than the flood, but not much, and the condition? existing now are but very little different from what they were twenty years ago. Young Roosevelt, ho wever, practiced what others preached, and the result has been that he is the most-talked about man in the country, and if he can succeed in stirring up the people of Chicago to adopt some of bis reform ideas,. his visit there will have accomplished muoh good. Theoretical morality in politics, and applied morality, are different things, and ijb will be of interest to know whether the apostle of muniolpal reform has succeeded in creating a feeling in Chicago that the theoretical and applied conditions can be made the same.

THBBE is ground for a very strong suspicion that the reoent additions to the list of Republican presidential candidates, Quay, Manderson and Cullom were made in the interests of the antl-McKinley people. It has been done very evidently to prevent the delegates from their respective states from oasting their votes for the Ohio man, for the reason that each state must be true to its favorite son. Senator Quay professes to be sincere in his oandidaoy, but it is fiardly likely that suoh is the oase. HoWever, if he can turn fifty of the sixty-four Pennsylvania votes to some oandidate other than MoEinley it will, be a very serious matter to the Ohio man. Senator Thurston, of Nebraska is one of the most ardent MoEinley supporters in the country. He and Mr. Manderson are not on the best terms politically, and the announcement that Gen. Manderson is to be a caadidate means that a movement has been started to head off the work of Thurston in eleoting MoKinley delegates from Nebraska and other Western states. So it is in Illinois. In 1892, if the delegation from that f^tate bad not been pledged to Harrison after Blaine had written his letter to Clarkson saying that he would not sooept the nomination, they would have stampeded with a rush to the man from Maine. Now Cullom is being brought forth by the anti-McKitf-ley men for the purpose of preventing! the adoption of a resolution pledging^ the delegation to MoEinley. The Davis men in Minnesota, too, tnay determine to play the same kind Of polioy, although the Senator has not yet been announced as a oandidate. The entering of all these new men in the race seems to indicate that the fight will be the field against MoEinley, and the man who experts to gain most from thisjstate of things is Mr. Allison of Iowa, who seems to be the seoond choice of almost everybody.

There is more Catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be inourable. For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease, and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly telling to oure with looal treatment, pronounced It in-, curable. Sclenpe has proven catarrhs be a constitutional disease, and therefore requires constitutional treatment. HallSl Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J.

All of which makes it imperative th^t the two prin cipal parties shall deolare themselves unequivocally on the money question in their national platforms this year, and not adopt resolutions oonohed in ob scure terms, that will mean one thing in Massachusetts, New York, and other eastern states, and another thing.
