The story of an alliance between republican France and monarchial Spain to rivet Cuba's chains was composed in New York. France has had enougfc experience in San Domingo to make her sick of the odor of Wast Indian sugar.

Mr. Cleveland ds to be arbiter of America's poilicy toward Spain. Probably as he lhas read of t'he 'mobs howling around Crispi, he will cjioose the clamor that urges fighting instead of the clamor that might follow costly losses.

"The little demonstration against the Porte by England," says an exchange, "has been reduced to a resolution of condemnation in the house of commons."

We do not have to go to England to see hostile demonstrations by resolution.

The German nati&n initiated retaliatory means because a Democratic congress attacked the jreciprocal system under' which foreign trade was growing and pulled to pieces the sugar schedule. It does not seem in order for a Republican congress to follow up the Democratic mistake and aid in increasing the German animosity which is due to Democratic nonsense.

great difference between. amd our own people there must be some points to common with the people that flffng everything into the scale, w*hen they resisted iNapoIeonv in Spain, ttte Bourbons in !Fra.p*oe amd the Papal and Bourbon rule In Italy. All of these races idealize liberty though their governments prosecute -cuptprefisJve cotottM schemes.

Uhere 'is no country in Europe that has more ®eedi for colonies or to enrvy .the (prosperous colonies of Groat Bet tarn tha,n had Italy. It has a greater laboring population that barely exists on the scanty wages within its reach amd it is compelled to watch the steady drift of 'its most industrious and able-bodied laborers to 'North and Sou'tlh (America where the moderate wages they ore wrfflling to accept are comparative wealth to the poor Italians that worked at home for from 25 cents 'to 50 cents a day, in a tax ridden country.

It could not ihave been mere ambition for the possession of t!he territory that led Crispi into the disastrous Abyssinlans venture, but the hope that the Italians would establish 'tihe peaceful commerce whidh France enjoys an Algeria, and t'he British in South Africa.

Africa was being divided up among the (European powers and if Italy did nqt take a certain part of it, some other oration would. It is certain as fate that It Is the destiny of Africa to come under the control of the civilized races, whose very civilization makes them aggressive, just as did American continents where the semieivii'l'iziatioin of the Aztecs and the ruder sway- of barbarous tribes disappeared before the Caucasians.

The -E'tatesmzm looks ahead for generations. Tile people and. the press are occupied Witih what 'happens in the present. Crispi's desire for a share of Africa may have meant only good for the future of Ms people but unfortunately he tried to carry a British idea with an Italian force. His scheme* was large and 'the means inadequate. The modern Roman is not the colonizer that the ancient Roman was and if Italy conquers Abyssinia to t'he end, the returns will mot be equal to the outlay to this present generation, and it is too poor to sipe.nd anything for the benefit of t'he future. In suc/h a case •the sta/teSman should take Ms eye from the future and fix it on the present. TtaJly ihas made a tremendous mistake, an'd mistakes have their punishments as well as crimes.

HOG CHOLERA.

To the Editor of The Express: In Januaryyou were kind enough to publish a list of questions propounded to the farmers of Indiana by the Indiana state board of commerce as to their experience with hog cholera. Their answers were placed in the hands of the experiment station of the government at Purd-ue University. Mr. A. W. Bitting, the veterinarian of that station, had collected from n'inety-five swine breeders ot£ the state answers to similar questions propounded by him during the momtih of December, and from all the answers received form both sources has prepared "'Bulletin No. 58, Vol. VII." This bulletin contains a tabulated statement of the information received and the conclusions reached as to the origin and treatment of the disease, and the 'best methods of treatment and feeding swirae to avoid or lessen the disease. This bulltn? has been sent to all the farmers who made answers to the questions propounded by the Indiana state -board of commerce and will be sent under the frank of the station to all persons whose names are furnisihed to the "Experiment Station, Purdue University, Lafayette, Indiana."

The loss sustained by the farmers of Indiana from this disease in 1895 was about $3,000,000. If the farmers of the state will pursue vigilantly the methods of keeping, watching and feeding their hogs outlined therein and will work together no prevent the spread of the disease, this great loss miay be reduced 50 to 75 per cent. during the year 1896. They should keep these facts constant'y in view: 1. The source of the disease is a microbe, and in three-fourths of the cases they are communicated to tihe herd through the water they drink. If the disease is at all prevalent, all running creeks, branches and pools are polluted and they should never be ed for watering. Use only deep well, spring or boiled water. If springs are used, cover or wall them in and pipe the water froim 'them and allow no pools or stagnant water to accumulate -in t'he -feeding pens. 2. Feeding pens, kept free from impure water and unclean beds, should be constantly supplied with charcoal and coal ashes, which may be 'best accomplished by burning the cobs as they accumula'.e as often as one a week, thus keeping the pens clean and plenty of charcoal and ashes before the herd. If the pens are kept clean -and the two rules above outlined are diligently followed, the only danger will be from the microbe beinjg brougiht into the herd from the sick herds of farmers whO'haVe not observed these rules. If these rules are diligently followed the. herd will be in healt'hy condition and not likely to become infected from the germs brought in by dogs, buzzards, or on Che shoes of persons coming frotn sick herds.

The most prevalent source of communicating the disease is stock cars which are not cleansed and disinfected after delivering diseased hogs, but carried to all parts-of the state with the'r filth left on s-idlngs Where :!he straw and filth is thrown out and taken up by the horses' feet and wheels of wagons of farmers visiting the station, and carried to their farms. This may be prevented by a stringent rule requiring all stock curs'to be cleansed and disinfected as soon as unloaded and before leaving the stock yards.

The power to make rules requiriog all stock cars to be cleansed and disinfected before leaving the stock yard3 vested by law in "The State Live Stock Sanitary Commission." That commission has already consented to make a rule at its meeting on the 5th of March requiring all stock cars to be cleansed ami disinfected ibefore going out on the lines of railroad, and as there is a heavy penalty provided for any violation of their rules we may expect alj cars in t?he future to be cleansed. The state board of commerce asks the farmens of «the state to Send their names, with postoflice address to the experiment station, Purdue University, Lafayette, Indiana, receive free and read the bulletin they are ^endinpr. and co­

HARRISON'S WEDDING.

S:

Antlcl-

Bomeof the Details of the Event pated. It has been authoritatively announced that ex-President Harrison and Mrs. Mary Scott (Difnmick would be married April 6th, the first Monday a)ftar Easter, in St. Thomas Church, on Fifth avenue, New York.

No details have been arranged yet beyond the fact that the ceremony will be performed in the day 'time, probably at 11 o'clock, by the rector of-St. Thomas' Church, the Rev. J. Wesley Brown. Only the relatives of the contracting parties and a few friends will be present. It is the wish bothxnf General Har-

shouid as

and free from os­

tentation as possible. There will be no decorations to speak of in the church, and whether there will be a wedding march played by the organist is not yet knowi^

The ex-president, being a Presbyterian, is not used to the forms and ceremonies of the Episcopal Church, and for that reason the ceremony will be as simple as passible. There will be none of the grand processional music and down-the-aisle marches. It is probable that thte couple will ftieet in front of -the altar

without any prearranged marching at all. Those who are close to the ex-presi-dent think .he will .have, if possible, all of his old cabinet members present. General Tracy, who resides 'here, be among the guests. It is thought that Mr. Harrison's old law partner, exAttorney General Miller, will be the best man. He was at 'the ihotel today and had a la.ng talk with the ex-president. After -the marriage ceremony the couple, it is thought, will go directly to indianapolis and spend the 'honeymoon at home.

LADY SOMERSEt'S LIBEL SUIT,

She Wants 925,000 Damages From Willinm Waldorf Astor. (New York, March 5.—A London cable to the (Sun says that Lady Henry Somerset has sued Mr. William Waldorf Astor for $25,000 damages caused to her reputation by a remark made in the Pall Mall Gazette not long ago that "Lady Henry Somerset would drive any one mad." This remark is the crowning heresy the Gazette uttered in the course of its comment® upon Lady Henry^te efforts to reclaim Jane Cakebread, the notorious dipsomaniac, who has mu.de mare than 300 appearances before 'tihe Lotndon police •magistrates.

The first move 'by the aggrieved Lady Henry was a request through her lawyers to Mr. Astor «to withdraw and apologize. He declined to do either. Mr. Astor dares io assert justification as 'his defense, saying 'that the methods of the plaintiff and her associates are of such a nature as* to justify the words complained of.

The most eminent counsel in London has been retained—Mr. Asquith, former home secretary, for Mr. Astor, and Sir Edward Clarke and Mr.Carson for Lady Somerset.

"CHRISTIAN CRUSADE."

When Sir Henry Irving was at Louisville, Ky., recently he declined to appear at the -matinee which was announced because the advance sale of seats was not considered sufficiently large.
