THK Prineo of Wales celebrated his birthday this week. The prince is not a sprint? chicken by any means, and is old enough to realize that his neck is too short and thick to wear the high collars that represent the fashion that he once was wont to set.

MARK HAJWA isn't saying much these dhilly November days about the prospect of his defeat before the Ohio legislature as a candidate for the United States senate. Mark is smart, for he knows that talk is cheap, and votes is what he wants. The chances are that when the time gomes he will have them.

TUB mugwumps must be in pretty bad odor in New York, for all Seth Low is represented to be the most beautiful thing that ever came into existence. A church choir in that city struck last Sunday because it had been announced that the pastor of the choir advocated the election of Seth Low. That is enough to make even the church choir worm turn.

IK Mr. Hanna believes one-half of what Senator Foraker's friends are saying in print about him, and if, in turn, Senator Foraker believes one-half the mean things concerning him attributed to Mr. Hanna and his friends, there will certainly be a hot time in the old Columbus town, when the Ohio legislature meets to elect a United States Senator from that state.

LUCK a ship without a rudder would be our seacoast fortifications without men to man them, and as that is the present condition of the artillery department of the regular army. Secretary Alger has recommended in his annual report to congress an increase in the army by the organization of two regiments of artillery. He says it is not a warlike recommendation, but peace measure, such as every nation in the world takes to be prepared for future emergencies. Bullies never pick a tight with men they know are ready to fight, and so it is with nations. With our new navy, and an increased army, we will be better assured of peace than if we made no preparations for an emergency that may arise at any time.

TIIIO rich coal corporations that are to bring Chinese into the Illinois coal fields to compete with the resident miners are setting an example in anarchy beside which Herr Mont's utterances sink into insignificance. Herr Most attacks the existing condition of things with his month, but does no harm. These coal companies, however, do attack the presmt condition of affairs by seeking to drive honest labor into competition in the labor market with a lot of heathens, who in the flrst place ought not bo permitted to come to this country, no matter if it is the land of the free. They

a lot of animals, without

hope or ambition, and a decent laboring man could not live in competition with them. If there could ever baa shade or pretense of justification in such matters the miners -poorly enough paid at the best who are to be. driven out of employment and perhaps to starvation by the introduction of these cheap labor animals, ought t.o establish a shotgun quarantine, not only against the Mongolians themselves, but against the coal company officers who seek to introduce them.

time ago the newspapers were

filled with details of the heroic actions of a Choctaw Indian, condemned to death for killing fellow member of his tribe, who returned to his nation to undergo sentence of death, after being reprieved in order to permit him to make a tour with a basball club, of which he was a member. Many heroic* have been indulged in telling of his? Sp »rlan fortitude in returning to accept the sentence of death when he was far beyond the jurisdiction of the court that iuflicted the penalty. It now that brethren a few pointers on the art of advertising. While he did kill a member of his tribe, his sentence of denth was imposed on hitn at the earnest solicitation of the h,»se!all club, in order to use him its im advert isement. and it has been used to great advantage. Hundreds of dollars would not have purchased the advertising: given to him free, telling of his determination to return and accept death at the conclusion of the reprieve given him. lastead of being put to death last Monday, as was aunouueed, he has been given still further reprieve, anew trial hna been granted him. and he will no doubt be acquitted. Up to date this is about the best advertising scheme that has been dls* covered. It is far better than to have one's diamonds stolen, and that has proved about the most successful scheme that has yet been sprang. This particular Choctaw, is a "heap big Injun" in more ways than one.

THKKK is nothing new in the CnbanSpanish situation, beyond the exchange by this government and that of Spain of assurances of the most distinguished consideration. The effort of Spain to conquer the Cuban insurgent* is utterly hopeless, and any intelligent observer of existing conditions in Spain and Cuba must have known for at least a year past that the Cuban war must end in the severance of the ill-fated island from the mother country. General Blanco comes to Cuba to take the place of General Weyler, and he brings with him the offer

of what -would have been probably acceptable reforms before the war began but it madness now to expect the Cuban people to accept any proposition of reform from the Spanish government. They have no faith in the sincerity of Spain they have waged successful warfare for nearly three years in defense of their cause they have during most of the war held possession of two-thirds of the territory of the island, and the armies of the patriots never were so strong or well-equipped for battle, while the people of Cuba are inexorably resolved to win their freedom or to submit to extermination. It is not likely that our government can interfere in any way in the Cuban war until the meeting of congress. General Blanco will be allowed opportunity to make a fair test of his ability to win the people of the island to the proposed reforms, or to win military success over the insurgents if the war continues. By the time congress shall meet he will have had ample opportunity to test both, and all who understand the sentiment of the people of this country must know that congress will demand positive action, not only to protect the interests of Americans in Cuba, but to enforce the humanities of war. If no progress shall be made in winning Cuba back to submission, either by treaty or by force, during the next month, the attitude of this country will be changed by the action of congress, and war jvith Spain will be more than possible. If so, it will be war on the part of Spain with the single objective point of surrendering Cuba by treaty of peace with America. Spain's reign in Cuba is at an end, and if the people of that country would acknowledge it, the present cabinet would make it possible in a short time.,

The past chancelors of the several Knights of Pythias lodges in this city perfected their organization last Sunday by the election of Geo. F. Sweeney as chairman and James L. Price as secretary. A committee was appointed, consisting of J. F. Weinbrccht, R. Smith, L. D. Bledsoe, It. U. Day and J. L. Price to prepare a constitution and by-laws, and submit same at a meeting to be held at castle hall to morrow afternoon.

The Vaudalia will hereafter pay on the 10th, 11th and 12th of each month, instead of the 20th, as has been the custom for years. For this reason the merchants' agreement concerning keeping their stores open on the 20th has been changed.

Greater New or lea New Mayor. Robert A. Van Wyck, the new Tammany Mayor elect of Greater New York, is a lawyer by profession, anil at present Chief Justice of the City Court. lie is a gradnte of the Columbia Law School and was one of the organizers of the old County Democracy, but joined Tammany shortly after his election. He is forty-nine years old. unmarried, and comes of one of the oldest Dutch families in the city. He has already announced his intention of appointing only Democrats to the municipal offices, and this means he has under his control the yearly disbursement of about $30,000,000 in salaries. He expects to give every citizen all the "personal liberty*' that can be construed from the law, and to reduce the cost of gas to the dollar limit. He is an enthusiastic bicyclist.

The latest fad In New York society is the ancient game of shuffleboard. Once upon a time it was the sport of kings now it- is the favorite amusement of Gotham's Four Hundred.

James Balch, a well-known .employe of the paint department of the Vandalia, was picked up in an unconscious condition in front of his house on Ohio street, opposite St. Benedict's church, on last Saturday night, and taken to jail. He was supposed to be dead drunk, and little attention was paid to him at the jail. Sunday afternoon he was discovered to be suffering from a severe injury to his head, and although the jail physician was summoned, no relief could be given him and he died shortly afterward. A postmortem, was held, and it was discovered that he had received a terrible blow on his head, but although the police have been working faithfully on the case they have been unable to discover in what manner it was received. Balch was a man of family and bore an excellent reputation. As a result of the death of Balch in jail, Judge Piety sent for Sheriff Seeburger and requested that hereafter when a man is brought to the jail in an unconscious condition, whether from drink or otherwise, the jail physician shall be immediately summoned to examine him. It is thought possible that if the doctors had been summoned at once after Balch was placed in jail, his life might have been saved.
