it MP COLUMBIAN, BLOOMSBURG, PA. WASHINGTON. ftom our Regular correnpnnrtont, Washington, Oct. is, 1897. Vhat have you got to do with Cuba, anyhow." That is the plain Vnclish of the courteously worded 'ply of the new Spanish ministry to jtr McKinlcy's Quixotic mediation proposition, which was used to pre vent Congress taking action at the last session that would have brought ' ..., in Cuba lone before now. Hiving had one cheek diplomatically 11 now remains w wnnrd bv Spain, be seen whether Mr. McKinley will turn the other cheek for another slap, or will rise to the occasion by prompt ly recognizing the independence of Cuba, or even the belligerence of the i",.i.m. Tresent talk in administra tion circles indicates that the other cheek will be turned to the Spaniards. The opinion is growing that Congress will have to compel Mr. McKinley to do the right thing by Cuba. As thouph Mr. McKinley d.d not have enough troubles of his own, the two factions of Virginia republicans have swooped down upon him with the demand that he umpire their dispute. After a series of false alarms cover ing a period of more than ten years, during which he has been eligib'.e for retirement, it seems that Justice Field of the U. S. Supreme Court is going to retire sure enough this time. At torney General McKenna is slated to succeed him, and a Cabinet shake- up is expected at the same time, which it is said mav land "Teddy" Roosevelt in the Cabinet as Secretary of the Navy and bring about other changes of more or less importance. Altnrnev General Terrell, of Georgia, who is in Washington on business before the U. S. Supreme Court is somewhat indignant at the misrepresentations which have been made of the shooting of the negro postmaster at Hogansville. He said : "A great injustice has been done to one of the best and most substantial towns in our state. The report of the Post Office inspectors will bear out mv declaration that there was absolutely no evidence of any deep seated plot on the part of the citizens of Hogansville to remove J.omn There isn't a spark of evidence to show whether he was shot by a white man or a nenro. At any rate, there was no conspiracy among the promt nent citizens of the town, as some of the papers put it, and all such report are unfounded aspersions on a good people. I know the citizens there, and there isn't a better community in any state in the Union. A whole town should not be made to suffer for the deed of one miscreant. The State officers are as anxious as the Federal authorities to bring the guilty party to punishment, and every means of detection is being used to that end." Mr. McKinley is almost in a state of panic on account of his private advices from Ohio. Boss Hanna with all his egotism has become alarmed at the indifference of so many men who have heretofore been the most enthusiastic workers in every rebubli can campaign ; he fears the indiffer ence will last until election day and that it will keep thousands of republi cans away from the polls, and he has communicated his fears to Mr. Mc Kinley, who is now trying to devise some scheme to arouse a little en thusiasm among the Foraker republi cans of Ohio. Ex Congressman I,ay ton, of Ohio, who although a demo crat is not taking any active part in the campaign because of his pressing legal engagements, has been telling his Washington friends that the Ohio democrats have an excellent chance to win, if they can only succeed in getting out a full vote. He is confi dent that the republican stay-at-home vote will reach away up in the thou sands, and is afraid that the same cause mav lareelv reduce the demo cratic vote. He says he never saw such apathy among rural voters in a Ohio campaign as exists at this time. Consul General Lee was in Wash ington this week preparing lor his return to Cuba next week. He had a conference with Mr. McKinley and several with Assistant Secretary Day, but did not meet Secretary Sherman at all. Still there are persons who object to the assertion that Mr. Sher man has nothing whatever to do with the relations of this government with Spain and Cuba, calling it "preposter ous" etc. It would be preposterous tor a man who has been in Washing ton during the last six months, and kept his eyes open, to claim to believe . that Mr. Sherman has had anything ' whatever to do with either Spanish or -utan matters. 1 he opinion is pre valent in Washington that Mr. Sher man will be froze out of the Cabinet before the first of the year. A person al friend of General Lee is authority for the statement that he will return to Virginia in the Spring and begin an active personal canvass for elc tion to the U. S. Senate, to succeed ocnator Martin. to be. Eddy, at Bavonnc, N. I., the professors at Blue Hill observatory, Boston, and attaches of the United States signal service have been experi menting with the tl.ght of kites into the upper regions to determine the temperature. A kite with a ther memcter attached to it was lately sent up into the air almost half a mile by Mr. Eddy. When such a kite is drawn back to earth, the tempera ture registered by its thermometer is a true prognestic of the temperature to be expected on the earth's surface within the next 48 hours. This is Mr. Eddy's theory, which he believes he has verified. Deafucss Cannot bo Cured by local applications a 4 they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear.

Samuel Gillam, a resident of Phillipsburg, who left his wife some time ago, returned Saturday, and, meeting her at the Pennsylvania Rail road station, asked her to walk back of the station with him. She refused to do so, and in the presence of a crowd of people, he caught her by the head with one hand. Then, drawing her head close to him, with the other hand he pulled a pistol from his pocket and shot her through the head, inflicting a wound which, it is believed, will prove fatal. Clouds have been heretofore con sidered as presaging a change in the weainer. Now, however, kites in stead of clouds will apparently be em ployed to tell us what the weather is We live in a country of which the principal scourge is stomach trouble. It is more wide-spread than any other disease, and, very nearly, more dangerous. One thing that makes it so danger ous is that it is fo little understood. If it were better understood, it would be more feared, more easily cured, less universal than it is now.

It showed ar. aggregate of appropriation tor tins large part of the postal service for the current year of $51,041,238; the prob able deficiency is $500,000, making the estimated expenditures this year $51,541,238. This will be $1,623,- 045, or tnree anu one quarter pci cent, more than for the fiscal year just ended. The estimate for the fiscal year 1899 is $53,337.260. whlth 1S $i.79Q. 021 more man tne esumaieu expendi tures for the current year.

The report takes an important po sition as to newspaper mail and a plan to make the profits on short hauls oft- set the long runs. General bhallen bercer says : "There seems to be no good reason why the great bulk of legitimate news papers carried by the government at great loss to remote places should be permitted to be taken away from the mails by railroad and express com panies whenever there is a short haul that would make the carriage of them Drofitable to them. The carriage of newspapers, packages, etc., by railroad and express companies may have been justified, perhaps, years ago, when the railway mail service was less ellicient but with our present facilities, such as may easily be obtained, 1 am con vinced that the department can ant should cairy the great bulk of news paper matter that has been lor years withheld from the mails and sent in baggage cars and special express trains."
