BRITISH IGNORANCE.

Over in Londo'u'town the people Bet only faint glimpses of jvhat is going on in the United States. Even .the newspaper editors of the British metropolis .get hopeltssly sangled as to the currents of political thought md action in this:country. They are always presuming to discuss. United States iffairs. but never give enough attention to ue to know anything for certain about the Tacts upon which they are building conclulions and ad vaneiag«to--distraught spaculalioas. Here is a paragraph in point taken •torn a discussion i|u London Standard if the mission Qf^ou^Jif&etallic envoys:

As soon as •Mr.-AieK-'ttiWf was elected presilaut became irsj»eflftlf$ thai he should do tcmething to help the United States—at the f.\pfuse ot the BritfsJi jyeditor, if possible— m: of vtheir jnonefgii Realties. A RepubJcao caucus -was. therefore, called, presided ver" toy that disinterestedfriend of international well-being, Sherman. It appointed a eominttteawwWrft waj? charged, in fffett, to bring about the millennium that VIr» Bryan had promised the United States roter. In other words, it was to advance tbe ause of biotetaMisn} international agreement, failing which he Republican party anight lose the presidency rour years hence. Senator "Woloott was chairman of that committee, and he crossed th? Atlantic to take preliminary survey o? tbaj worlu He seems to have been very wjgl satisfied. with what ie "was told in this c&KtTy and*in France. Vt any rate, he returned, and President McKinVey thereupon passed an* art constituting a consisting of Sehaior Wotcoit and two others, for the conversion of Europe to the enlightened currency theories that obtain a the United States.

4i,

*Of what value can be the abstractions of

writer that knows so little about his facts

as is here manifested? Tbe paragraph reveals that the Standard is ignorant as a horseblock touching drift of financial sentiment and the course action upon the subject in this country. Virtually all that this misguided writer saya is pure fabrication. The idea of President McKlnley "passing an act constituting a commission!" The Standard appears to think that the president of the United States is both president and congress.

It would be meet refreshing if the British journals would follow affairs in tile United States a little more closely if the are bound to talk about them. What they have to say under present conditions about things, in America is- a wanton and tiresome 'waste of brain tissue and printer's ink. In half a century there has scarcely been anything said in a London paper that was of the slightest significance as an enlightened interpretation of matters on this side, of the Atlantic. Some Englishmen have come to America, laid aside their prejudices, become

acquainted with our institutions and people and returned to talk intelligently about us and to do some sort of justice, but the chatterers of the London press refer to the United States only to disclose their ignorance of all that pertains to it.

EX-MINISTER TALYOR ON CUBA. Mr, Hannis Taylor, late United States minister to Spain, has contributed to the North American Review for the current month an article in reference to the Cuban situation which is likely to attract more than national attention. Interest in the article will be rather enhanced than diminished by the fact that its publication just at this time is deprecated by the administration at Washington as a violation of diplomatic usage and calculated to embarrass it in its negotiations with the new Spanish cabinet, says the Chicago Tribune. One of the effects anticipated from the publication at this time is that it may induce congress to act on the belligerency question before Spain has had an opportunity to test its new policy of conciliation bad autonomy in Cuba. It cannot be denied, howeverf, that Mr. Taylor's four years' service as minister at Madrid has qualified him to discuss the subject understandingly, while the reticence he has heretofore maintained will give added weight to his carefully considered conclusclons.

In the outset of his article Mr. Taylor characterizes the existing condition of affairs in the Island of Cuba as shocking to humanity and destructive to American commerce and investments. In the light of conditions w?hich have existed through three wars, covering some fifteen years out of the last twenty-nine, he comes to the conclusion that the Spanish government has proved itself impotent in its efforts to solve the Cuban question, and that it will eventually have to be settled by tbe people of the United States in the interest of humanity and the commercial welfare of the nations of the world.

Among the reasons which lead to these conclusions is the fact that no such thing as real parliamentary government exists in Spain. To a greater extent than any other European nation it clings to the abolutitet traditions of the past, in spite of the efforts of a few of its more progressive statesmen to lead it into the light of the latter part of the nineteenth, century. For that reason:—

Spain has today no national assembly which can act as a free and real organ of the national will, because, the members of the two chambers of the "cortes are not the free choice of the people themselves. The electoral machinery is so manipulated by the executive as to predetermine the result, ahy officious objector being simply sent to jai'L Both parties employ the same methods. The national 'assemblies are, therefore, simply dead bodies, into which the living spirit of popular approval never enters, and even a corterie of military officers, or a combination of newspapers can overthrow a ministry supported by overwhelming majorities in both chambers of the Cortes.

The real pOtfer resides not in the legislature but in the crown. There is no conception of such a thing as colonial freedom, the colonists, being treated as children or slaves, according *to circumstances. They have been prohibited, under heavy penalties, from tracing, with any other than the mother countf*, While the governmentMof the colonies is retained at Madrid, to be Sdminiatered by a* olgarchy of home-bred Spanish officials' senlf out for that purpose. By this selfistf suggests Mr. Taylor, "Spain has lost all of its American colonies except Cuba and Puerto Rico." Under ihe rule of a governor general who has no interest in common with the people, while receiving from Its. treasury a saiary nearly twice as great as that of the president of the United States,-Cuba has been regarded simply as "a place to be plundered and enslaved." When its great Sugar estates became unprofitable in consequence of the introduction of beet sugar large numbers of the population were driven out of employment, while their expenses for suppordt of their foreign government remained undiminished. To this conditions of affairs—"a struggle for bread in one of tbe most favored spots in the world, produced in the main by economic laws enacted by the parliament of the mother country"—is to be traced the rise of present insurrection, and which the home government has been trying to suppress by reducing the island to a desert.

In the light of such facts and such a policy Mr. Taylor comes to the conclusion that the promise of Canovas—whom he describes as autocratic as Richelieu ever was—of some sort of autonomus government contained In the royal decree of Febrduary last, "was simply put forth to divert attent-on and satisfy public opinion in the United States until Weyler could reduce the island to aosolute subjection." Has the new scheme of the present cabinet the same object? If Canovas Lad been sincere in his professions of intended change of policy Mr. Taylor thinks he would have sent C*mpo3 or tunic other official of his kind to Cuba instead of retaining Weyler. Of the character of the butcher general he says:

Speaking of Spain's offor of "autonomy," Mr. Taylor is. of the opinion that— Spanish statesmen have no clear conception of the real meaning of ire term "autonomous government," and the Spanish people, are almost ft unit in ther resolve to lose Cuba by force, of arms rather than permit such a concession to be made.

Hence his conclusion that Spanish statesmanship is powerless to solve the pending problem. "It has no idea," he continues, "beyond the blind proseu it'on of the dreadful strife, which means nothing more tnsji the useless sacrifice of ii a nun life and the utter destruction cf the very subject mtMtr of the contest itself.

CURRENT EVENTS.

A man who does not care whether or not there is public gambling in town and gives little thought to police affairs, said he had been-mentally struggling with a puzzle that was too much for him- He had read in the Gazette that Superintendent Hyland bad issued orders that .the slot machines should be removed that he was not aware the machines were in use because he "rarely goes ihto a saloon." Then he is quoted as saying: "We have succeeded in suppressing

gambling and 1*defy anyone to find a game of poker in the'city." The puzzling proposition is, how the^ sperintendent can be cock-sure there is no gambling in the back or upstair rooms of a saloon and yet have been aware that slot machines were in use in the public barroom.

The school board is going to make the public library a public blessing, indeed.- -The new ideas and rules all seem to be commendable. In the past there has |ie«n room for criticism in one respect. Thi§t has been the delay in procuring new hooks ^intil long after the public elsewhere was through discussing them. There would seem, tc^ be no reason why the library should not have a new book, one whose publication}has been looked for by the reading putbiic, as the book stores get it

The Evansville truant officer reported for October that the average cost helping children to prepare to attend school was $2.48. The school board was of the opinion that after a month's experience, that unless great care is taken, the school fund will be called upon to perform certain charities which rightly devolve upon others that the school board would give clothing in some cases where the township trustee should render the assistance.

A month's pay for teachers in the Kvansville public schools amounts to $11,700.

The teachers in the public schools of Seymour kept "open house" for an hour Saturday afternoon in their respective^ school rooms to receive calls from parents, who are invited to state their grievances or^ask for information. Last Saturday UgeW wfcffe 316 visitors.

There are one or two things about'wfdi Terre Haute parents would like inform'ation but the school board and higher authorities in the schools are the ones who could furnish the information. The first is, why the constantly increasing cost to parents for the education of the child? The second, why the almost constant changing of "method" in the course for the younger pupils? It is safe to say that the cost is double .whatsit, was ten or fifteen years ago.

Some of the newspapers of the state are discussing the disproportionate jii^ease in the number of patients in the state's iasane hospitals to tbe increase in population as evidence that a larger per cent of this people are "going crazy." The fact is ^Overlooked that the state is making better andjlarger provision for its insane. Before the hospitals at Evansville, Logansport andTRicnmond were available hundreds of insahe ^jjereons were cared for in the county poor ^houses. It was the exposure of the horrible' inhumanity of this neglect of the iv\sane that caused the state to build the actional h^jpitals. In many counties the unrortunatW were chained in out buildings and except when food was passed to them they received no attention. It was the old-time "mad house" idea. Now the insane person is sent to a hospital it isn't even an "asylum," and there jcientiflc treatment is admisistered to the "patient."

A newspaper the gas district in this state reports that a "quiet divorce" was granted to a well-known citizen. If we Are to have "quiet" weddings why shouldn't there be "quiet", divorces.

The contract for the buildings for the Normal school, or college, at Washington was let to an Evansville contractor at $68,-, 000. The buildings are to be completed by August 1, 189S. -X

The Evansville Journal congratulates the

people of that city on the ground that Evansville is "surely looming up as a convention cicy." Terre Haute people may not be aware of it but the fact is that more conventions, have been held In Terre Haute during the past two years than in any two cities together in the state, leaving Indianapolis out of consideration,

Judge Hefron decided that the editor of the Washington Gazette was not in contempt of court for publishing the report that a movement Was on foot to settle a quasicriminal case out of court. The prosecuting attorney

official conduct hid been

frequently criticised by the newspaper, instituted the contempt proceedings.s Judge Ifefron held that there had been no purpose on the part of the editor to impede the course of justice and that therefore no contempt had been committed.

Foster, the weather sharp, who is somewhat a rival of Hicks, agrees with the latter about the weather for Novetnt^nT% There are to be "cold, nothernly gales*' and "marked disturbances, turning to enew and a cold' wave" (quoting from both prophets) between the 6th and 10th. Then there will be a few dfiys of warmer weather "followed by more 6torm conditions, includinjg v.-arm rains and thunder." After these tble're will be cold, frosty weather. From the'• 24th to 26th "is reactionary center at a critical conjunction of storms," with gales, blizzards and cold wave following.

Charles S. Smith, of Paris, is to go to Wilberforce, Ohio, to be private secretary to Bishop Arnett of the A. M. E. church, the bishop who presided at the Indiana conference of the church recently held here. Mr. Smith was born in Marshall. 111., and was educated in the public schools of that city and Terre Haute. He learned stenography in Chicago and Judge Jacob Wilkin appointed him court stenographer at Marshall. Afterward he was made court reporter for Edgar county. He is said to have been the first colored man in the country to hold tbe official position of court setnographer.

Catch problems—some of them old ones— are going the rounds. Chicago characteristically is ahead with one that will be of especial interest in 1900. Chicago board of trade men are betting and scratching their head£ over the question as to which day

will be the first day of the Twentieth century. Will it be January 1, 1909 or January 1,1901? !•.*

Recently The Express gave one of the problems which are setting men wool-gath-ering. It was the $10 counterfeit bill found by a banker which was used in paying $50 in $10 debts, he receiving it again for a debt after which he discovered that it was counterfeit Who lost in the various transactions?

Here's another, but along a different line, and they do say that men who are 'way up in local finance were disputing' over the question on the Cincinnati Exchange though it is extremely simple: A man bought a horse and buggy for $110. The hotee cost $100 more than the buggy. What did the buggy cost the owner? That's eiasy, but don't go to work to figure it by algebra.

There's one more, a very old one. but It's goad and not near so easy as the others. A man went into a shoemaker's shop and bought a pair of shoes for $5. Be gave the shoemaker a $10 bill. The shemaker.had no change, but went to a neighbor and ifeot the ten changed. He returned and gave the purchaser his change, five dollare. A short time afterward the neighbor came in and claimed the ten was counterfeit. As he was right, the shoemaker was compelled to make the ten good, which he did by giving a good ten for the counterfeit. Now, how much was the shoemaker out in the whole transaction?

Yesterday there were many Y. M. C. A. delegates in this city. They came here from surrounding cities add took the fast afternoon train for Evansville, where the state convention opened at 10 o'clock yesterday morning. ,7

Governor Mount was due to arrive in the Vanderburgh town at 6 o'clock last evening and it is supposed he went to Vincennes over the Indianapolis & Vincennes Railway and boarded the Evansville & Terre Haute train at that point. "While in Evansville Governor Mount will be the guest of Major A. C. Rosencranz of Upper First street. Major Rosencranz has long been prominently identified with Y. M. C. A. interests in Evansville and many thousands of dollars of his money has gone to the support and_ advancement of tha work.

Yesterday afternoon Professor Shook, the vocalist, left this city for Evansville. He usually has a good deal to do with the direction of the music at conventions like the one just now assembling.: The great majority of the Terre Haute delegates will leave here today. It is announced that Miss Eliza B. Warren and Mrs. Mae Merring, who were ^fihig to the convention as representatives of the ladies' auxiliary, will not be able to attend. Mrs. Vina Montgomery will represent the woman's phase of the work and she probably will be accompanied by Miss Mary McComb of the Gospel Light House Mission. Secretary Charles B. Jamison of the local Y. M. C. A. will leave for Evansville this afternoon.

Yesterday morning the delegates from Wabash College, bedecked with the scarlet Of their school, arrived in thtf city over the Terre Haute & Logansport road They were Mr. Ashton Van Nuys of the class of '98, Mr. Fred Schmidt of the class of '99 and Mr. G. M. Wells of the preparatory department. The Crawfordsvijle Y. M. C. A. was represented by Secretary Braddrick, Mr. Hugh Brower and Mr. O. M. Gregg. There will be more Relegates from Crawfordsville and they will pass through the city today.

It is stated by the Evansville papers that there will be about 200 duly appointed delegates at the convention. They will come from every quarter, of the state where the Y. M. C. A. work is organized. Many Y. M. C. A. men who are not delegates will be present and it: is estimated that Evansville will be called upon to entertain several hundred visitors. That city has perhaps the best Y. M. C. A. building ^n the state and the prominent citizens give liberally to the support of its multiform enterprise.

The Only Terre Haute man who is down on the programme for anything is Delegate Stephenson. He will read a.paper on "The Ideal Vacation." However, In the many meetings that will occur in connection with the convention Terre Haute men will have their share of work and responsibility.

GOLF CAUSES HIS DEFEAT.

German Voters Object to the Republican Nominee. Special to the Chicago Tribune.

Buffalo, N. Y., Nov. 3.—Many peculiar local conditions contributed to the Democraticvictory in Buffalo and Erie county

yesterday. Class prejudices played a part

in it. A great strength 0! the Democratic nominee Jbr mayor flay in the fact that he was a C&rman and •ihe Germans constitute 40 per cent of the voting population of Buffalo and periodically rise up and insist on a Gmrena mayor. The Republican nominee, John N. Scatcherd, was a target of oldtime political warfare, because he is rich, a club man, a$d a polo player. But the vote he lost in the eRpublican wards outside tbe German section of the city was due to a strong antagonism to the party organization and the indifference or opposition of Mayor Jewett's friends who were displeased because the organization would not renominate him.

It was found today, when the official figures came in, that District Attorney Daniel J. Kenefick had more than 10,000 majority. Running on. the ticket which was snowed under Mr. Kenefick polled 3,000 more votes than any man on the Democratic ticket. Out of 58,000 votes in the city he ran 16,000 ahead 0f his party's candidate for mayor. •Mr. Kenefick, who is only 32 years old, has found that it pays to enforce the law fearlessly. He was an assistant in the District Attorney's office when first elected two years ago by 17,000 majority, the biggest vote ever given in Erie county. As soon as elected be tried every indictment in the office. He has kept the jail empty by providing early trials for all prisoners. He took arms against the saloonkeepers and compelled them to live up to the Raines liquor law. He tried a number of delicate political cases, but he performed all his duties with such honesty and fearlessness that today he has the largest personal following of any one in the western New York

DIG FOR TREASURE.

British Warship Returns From ULtuccessful Hunt for Gold.

Victoria, B. C., Nov. 4.—H. M. S. Imperieuse, flagship of the Pacific station, returned today from a treasure hunt in Cocos island. Her officers became interested in the story of a $30,000,000 treasure through Charles Harford, who returned from the island several months ago and claimed to have seen the gold.

On arriving at Cocos Admiral Palliser set some of his men digging, while others kept guard, for there are other treasure seekers on the island and life is not held of great account there, It was the rainy season, however, and water filled the holes as fast as the marines could dig them.

The search was conitinued for two days, Some of the men say they' discovered the sjate covering to the treasure vault, though this is denied by others. The weather was threatening and as Admiral Palliser did not care to risk hi6 vessel longer he sailed northward. On the island where the Imperieuse arrived, were Gustave Gisaler, Gus Livingston, Captain Whidden and two Germans, all searching for the hidden hoard. Gisaler and one of (.he Germans have their wives with them.

Harford was taken down to tHe island on the Imperieuse as the guest of the admiral, though he was officially known as "the interpreter" and correspondent of the New York Herald. It is believed that Admiral Palliser Will get into trouble over his enterprise. He spent the government's time making the trip and took an outsider with him. It is now said that the officers of H. M. S. Amphian are contemplating a silmilar trip.

TO FORTIFY TREASURY BUILDINGS.

General Miles Thinks They Should be Guarded by Gatling Guns.

Washington, Nov. 4.—Gen. Nelson A. Miles was asked last night to give his reasons for recommending the fortification of the new federal building in Chicago with Gatling guns. He said: "There are nine places in this country where the treasure chests of Uncle Sam are located, and for the past twenty years I have urged the necessity of protecting these depositories with the moat approved pattern of firearms. When the subject of a new public building at Chicago was

•.txMvt-a- "5 l"

broached, one of my first thoughts was fov protective measures in case there should be an attempt directed against the sub-treas-ury holdings, which will be put in the buiKing. "While I was In Constantinople, the details of the attack on the Turkish bank in that city were related to me, and brought back to me the necessity for some means of defense for the public institutions of the United States. Gattling guna could toe placed where they would be available at a moment's notice, and too much publicity could not be given concerning their presence in the most commanding spots."

General -Miles does not believe there is any necessity for fortifying postofflce buildings or other federal structures, except those in which large sums of government money •re kept. He thinks that in each of the cities where sub-treasuries are located, a detail of regular troops should be maintained. According to his plan, this would involve no additional expense to the government.

Supervising Architect Taylor, cf the treasury department, calls attention to the fact that the mint at Philadejyhm was constructed to permit of its occupancy by light erriiiervmen iu case of an emergency.

A Timely Friend'. With perfect propriety may we call that excellent remedy, Salvation Oil, a timely friend. This liniment rapidly cures rheumatism, neuralgia and pains, when other remedies fail. Mr. J110. M. Hall, Ashland, Ya., writes "I suffered with rheumatism in the ankle and the muscles connected therewith. Salvation Oil at once relieved the soreness, reduced the swelling, and cured the pain. No other liniment that I ever used did me so much good.''

Springfield Republican: One of th» H"nois courts has decided that under the Australian ballot system a voter cannot be compelled to disclose for whom he voted.

This Is no more +han savin* that when the law creates a seem baflot the law intends that the ballot indeed be secret.
