It will Ijo notieetl that the Spanish tiilnlMtcr. Senor Impuy le Lome, has i-easeil to deny that uross cruelties anil utroflllei? ure tnklnK plaee under Span ish direction In Cuhu. The evidence on this point Is becoming too formidable for denial. He Is seeking the wiser re course of (IlKnltled silence. Let us examine some of the more re cent testimony. In h letter tu the Philadelphia Press, Hev. Allien DIuz. a Itaplist minister who has recently come to this country from Cuba, says: "In the two weeks prior to my deporta tion over MO peaceable Cubans were shot to death in the rural districts of Havana province. AmonK the killed were many women and little children, who receive no more mercy from the Spaniards than the men. I know these butcheries are being perpetrated, for In several rasen I have seen the corpses of the victims and aided In their burial." In the Mhiuel de la Padrone district, Kev. Mr. Diaz says that Colonel Fonde ville, a lieutenant and favorite of Wey ler, caUKht seven farm hands unarmed ' In the field and compelled them to diR their own Braves, Ret into them and be shot. In the Minas district elshteen Cubans. IncludinK men, women and children, were Ratnered together and shot, the bodies being left to be buried by neighbors. In the neighborhood of Havana, Just before Hev. Mr. Diaz railed. Colonel Fondevlll.; killed twenty sever, non-combatarub. I'nder date of Mav 2 James Creelmun, the well-known correspondent, gives an account of the butchery by Spanish troops of the servants and other em ployes of Pedro Casanova, an Ameri can owning a plantation within a few miles of Havana. The master and mistress of the plantation, together with their three children, were spared, less from mercy than because the Spaniards feared to excite an American Investigation. Creeltnan says he lias repeatedly appealed to Weyler to order a public Infinit y as to the many , re ports which are current In Havana of nssar slnation and outrage by Spaniards among the native population In differ ent parts of the Island: but Weyler's Invariable reply Is that he does not be lieve thosi. storlen. This Is virtually ciltiivalent to giving to his subordinates an unlimited license to do as their lewd nnd ferocious natures may Ulrtnts to the prisoners they may uapture or to the non-combatants they may meet. It is charged In all the correspondence from Havana thnt Consul Oineral Will iams Is worse than useless as a shield against the offering of Indignities to Americans In Cuba. He is represented both as too old and timorous properly to fulfil the duties of his ofllce In an emergency like the present, and also as too much In league wllh Spanish otllciallsm nnd too willing to believe what the Spaniards toll him. It Is to lie hoped that General Lee, who Is soon to supersede him, will fulfil the high ex pectations nlready formed of the char acter of his work at Havana. In the meantime. President Cleveland does nothing. The Ilochester Post-Kxpress regards o an obstacle to McKlnley's election the fact that his name cannot be woven Into campaign rhymes, This ought to elect him unanimously. Redeem the Vice-Presidency. The practice In national conventions has been to treat the nomination for the vice presidency as a secondary consid eration, good chiefly for trading pur poses In the Interest of the successful candidate for the major nomination. Since the Itepublican party came Into power no presidential ticket selected by It has contained the name of a nom inee for the second place wholly worthy, hy standing, by experience and national reputation, to succeed to the presidency In the event of a vacancy. Beginning with Lincoln's first term we have had, In Hamlin, an honest man but by no means a man of predominating person ality; In Johnson, an accident, Boon enough repented; In Colfax, a man al most but not fully up to the first rank; In Wilson and Wheeler, amiable nonen tities; In Arthur merely a ward. poll. Uoian, albeit be afterward developed, strong qualities, which were unsuspect cil at the time of his nomination; In l-i Ran, a dashing fighter but a man of r.or executive ability; In Morton, a pleasant-mannered gentleman re nowned chlellv for his charities; and lastly. In Whitelaw Held, a deliberate trick of defeated ring politicians to embarrass the head of the ticket. With in this period two vice presidential can didates, thrown on. the ticket without thought or heed, have been called in critical times to the chief magistracy, and one of them proved an indelible scandal. If the St. Louis convention shall, as now seems probable, nominate for pres ident William McKiuley of Ohio, it will do so In rvsionse to a public senti ment which fhall by that time have swept every barrier before it nnd there fore left no necessity for trading with aspirants for the vice presidency. The ticket will be peculiarly a ticket of the people's own choosing; and it will be In keening with this character that It shall have upon It for vice president the second most ixpular Itepublican In the party, and Major McKlnley s nearest competitor for the tirst honor. Thomas Hrackett Heed, of Maine. The nomination of Mr. Heed for the vice presidency would levolutlonize the obnoxious piecodelit which has lately regarded tlatt oiliee as tin- lit asylum for respectable mediocrity. It would restore the ofllce to its original dignity lis the vestibule 10 the presidency Itself. And it would. In this special emergency, place In the chair of the senate a mint who would do more to give character to the lately deteriorated utiper cham ber of cotif.ress than could be accom plished by (lie passing of a dozen con stitutional amendments changing the methods of senatorial elections. The senate which will organize one year hence Will be almost evenly divided be tween the two parties, with a combina tion of free silver men and populists liable in hold, as nt present, the bal ance of power. To get results from it in keeping with the Itepublican stand aid there will need to be In the vice president's chair a man of strong nnd robust personality, master of parlia mentary practice and a statesman whose very standing before the people wilt make him. without regard to the traditions, the accepted center of He publican Interest and activity in the senate. Such n man Is Thomns B. Heed: and we honestly believe that he could, under these circumstances, do more for his country and more for his party aa vice president than he oould us president. . . Observers at Washington say the probabilities of u formidable third party this fall are diminishing. The people evidently are not going to waste much time on side shows when there Is sci much going on In the main tent. . Are We Degenerating? A writer in the current Century, Phil ip C. Knupp. considers at length the question "Are Nervous Discuses In creasing?" and his deductions are cal culated to reassure those persons who have taken for granted, with becoming horror. Mux Nordau's predictions of the coming man's inevitable physical degeneracy. It Is true that the statistics seem to be on the side of the proposition that our fast pace Is driving us by rapid stages to the insane asylum. Fur example, In Massachusetts, from lKCrt to 181)0, deaths from diseases of the brain increased from 12.06 to 1D.61 for each lrt.OOO Inhab itants; while from 1S55 to 1885. the In sane Increased from 1 In every K90 In habitants to 1 in every H69 Inhabitants. Hut Mr. Knnpp holds, In the first place, thnt these and similar vital statistics are not yet entitled to admission as competent evidence, for the reason that only recently has there been any sclen tlllc attempt to collect and collate such statistics; und In the second plaee he Is not prepared to believe, even though tin increase of fatality be shown as a result of nervous diseases, that this necessarily indicates a growing preva lence of such diseases, it might, he thinks, quite as fairly be taken to mean that since medical skill in recent years has succeeded very largely In conquer ing und eliminating from the mortality problem disastrous epidemics, this fact hns presented to many people the prob lem of dying of other forms of disouse, und nervousness has merely been one of those other forms. "Our hearts and our kidneys," he adds, "are giving out much more frequently than our brains," and he might hae Included In the first category also our stomachs. As to the nlleged Increase In Insanity, Mr. Knnpp considers it more apparent than rpnl. Thrpo or four reasons might In his opinion account for the fact that statistics show an Increase without proving that the Increase Is actual. One is thnt old notions as to Insanity being a disgrace, to be jealously con cealed within the family circle, have disappeared, causing people more read ily to admit its existence In their rela tives or friends. Another is that asyl ums have ceased to be regarded as places of brutality und torture and ure therefore more freely utilized. A third reason is that when comparison Is based on enumerations made within, say, thirty years, the later census of In sane patients Is bound to Include many enumerated before, plus the newer cases, thus giving u fictitious idea as to the actual ratio of Insanity among the people. And lastly, physicians to day recognize as forms of Insanity many mild types of mental disturbance which In former times were disregard ed. With reference to the general propo sition that the physical condition of the American iieoule Is becoming each year less vigorous Mr. Knupp enters nn elaborate disclaimer. The basis of his defense Is that the civil war demon strated powers of endurance In Ameri can soldiery superior to those shown In any recent European war and equal to any shown by our revolutionary forefathers;. that our surgeons found a larger percentage of recovery from gunshot wounds than was noticeable in Europe during the Franco-Prussian war; that measurements of both our soldiers and our school boys compare favorably with measurements of Eu ropean soldiers and schoolboys; that life-Insurance underwriters testify to the superior longevity of Americans and that In all competitions of skill and strength Into which Americans en ter with Europeans, it Is the rule for Americans and the exception for Eu ropeans to win. An Instance In point may be cited in the recent Hellenic giinies at Athens. "These, and many similar facts that might 1e collected, show very conclusively," says Mr. Knapp, "that neither In size, strength, skill, endurance nor recuperative power Is the American Inferior to the Euro pean. These are. to be sure, physical qualities; but endurance and recuper ative power such as our people have Fhown time and again In these last fifty years, cannot exist without a sound nervous system." Another point: One of the affections which is Ktrikinsiy Indicative of ner vous degeneracy Is hysteria. Yet hys teria, while common in France and by no means uncommon In Germany, is comparatively rare in America, Mr. Knapp presents a table showing the relative frequency of hysteria and neu rasthenia in a number of the large clinics In different cities. While not conclusive, the table Is certainly sug gestive. Thus, In Paris, of 1760 patients suffering from nervous diseases, 13.8 per cent." had hysteria and 12.1 per ci nt. hud neurasthenia: in Berlin, of 11.225 nervous cases 10.S tier cent, were hysterical; yet in Vanderbllt clinic, Niw York, of ls79 nervous patients, only 2.3 oer cent, were hysterical. In Huston city lioS'.iltul. oijly u.2 per cent, of 2.017 nervous cases were, and In Massachusetts general hosnltul of 12&I cases, only 1.3 per cent. were. Clearly, If these flRurcs fairly represent the gelierul averages 111 the countries In dicated, Americans liuve much to feel lliu.'ikful for us compared with the peo ples ucross the Muter. Finally arisen the question, do the conditions of modern life make ail ex-tia-irdlnurlly exacting demand Uhui the nervous system? Despite Max Nordau. Mr. Kunp'j flatly says they do riot. Huinun life and liberty are more se cure now than ever before; the civil ized world Is more Immune than for merly from great epidemics; the dan gers front war and oppression are less all of which, he argues, tend to ease the menial strain. Moreover, "the mater ial comforts of life have Increased. With easy transportation and abundant food supply, few communities In this country, except remote and Isoluted regions, are reduced to the straits of the early Plymouth settlers, and we thus know nothing of the horrors of famine. Had as our American cooking is (and it Is still the worst In the civ ilized world), saleratus and the frying .an are less dominant. Our churches, schools and sleeping-rooms are less of nn arctic temperature In winter. We have more fresh air, pure water and cleaner homes. The 'athletic craze' Is giving us sounder bodies. In a thous and ways life is made easier and more comfortable." Altogether. Mr. Knapp Is mint hap pily and opportunely optimistic;, and whether the facts be with him or against him, it is undeniable that his view is a comfortable one to take. President Cleveland's greatest fall ing Is thus tersely Indicated by the Washington Star: "He is a jealous diplomat and will have no other diplo mats but him. If he moves, as in the case of Venezuela, congress Is expected to move. Hut If congress takes the In itiative, as In the cases of Armenia and Cubn, he resents it by Innctlon." One thing is certain. The next president will not try to turn the congress of his country Into a mere echo. In 1790, 4.7 per cent, of the population of Massachusetts lived in cities above 8,000 Inhabitants; in 1890 the percentage was t9.8; and in 1895 it had become 72.S per cent. The last decennial census ; showed that the percentage in the I'nlt ed States at large of city residents was 29.2C of the whole population. There fore In Massachusetts the rush to the city must be thrice us rapid as in most states. When may we expect the re- action? I t A Canton correspondent notes as a remarkable fact that although Major McKlnley receives thousands of letters dally from all parts of the country, not one begs for an office. That wilt prob ably come later. WASHINGTON JOKES. From the Post. A very remarkable thing happened yes terday. Senator Stewart spoke for fifteen minutes without mentioning "the crime of '73." The persistency with which Mr. Steiv art harps upon this topic has led the cor respondents In the press gallery to wager with each other as to the number of min utes which will elapse before "the crime of 73" bobs to tho surface when the No vuda senator is making a speech. Yester day Mr. Stewart followed Senator Gor man. "I'll bet you he mentions 'the crime of '73' within fifteen minutes," said one news paper man to the other. The bet was eagerly taken and both men waited. Five minutes passed, ten minutes went by, twelve minutes, and at last llf teen minutes, und still the crime of '73 was tinmentioned. The bet was lost. At sixteen and a half minutes the famil iar words dropped from Senator Stewart's lips. He was u minute and a half lute. !! II II In the document room of the senate Is a text for Senator Vest or fur Senutor Al len preferrably Mr. Vest, for it needs bis caustie tongue to do Justice to the occa sion. The seventh part of the memoirs of the National Academy of Sciences has Just made its appearance. It Is an Immense volume of nearly 500 pages, quarto size, and printed on the finest and heaviest white paper. There are a hundred pages or more of' the costliest plates, with still more expcnslx-e colored lithograph pie lures. The cost of the volume must have been considerable, but the government printing ofllce did the work, uud the tux payers foot the bills, even though the ap propriations ure running up to half a billion dollars. What Is it all about? Hoinbyclne moths! And not one mun In a hundred thousand knows u buinbyclne moth when he sees It, or would be benefited by the knowledge.' ll li II The other day Congressman Stone, of Pennsylvania, who Is one of the practical Jokers of the house, approached Mr. Ma hany, of New York, who Is an authority on Celtic orthography und orthoepy, "Muhany," said Stone, "how would vou pronounce this word," and he spelled It out very carefully "M-a-c-H-l-n-e-r-y?" "That's easy," said Mahany: "thnt's the name of an old Irish dook Macllin. ery, a little bit of Danish mixed with Mile sian." "You're mistaken," said Stone, "that's pure Kngllsh machinery." . . Mahany collapsed. "Don't tell any body," he Implored. "If that got out among the Irish of my district It would ruin me." SIMPI.K CI RE I'OK COI.II Vrom the Lancaster New Era. Dr. I.. Duncan Kulkley, consulting phy sician to the New York hospital, communi cates to the Medical Kecord a treatment for a "cold," which he has successfully practiced upon himself, members of his fnmllya und patients for over two years. It was suggested to him by accident. Having had occasion to take sums bicar bonate of soda In water for acidity of tho stomach, when a bad cold lo which he an nubleot tut developing, he found after the aeconil doae that not only the unpleasant ntumach symptoma had tia uppfareil. but the "cold" was alo re lieved. This remedy is based upon the Idea thai there la an acid condition of the aysiem developed which is sufficient to irritate the terminal ending of the nervra and mueoua membrane, and to rentier Ihem susceptible to Impressions of cold by a derangement of the capillary cir culation. Aa this acidity Is neutralised the normal condition returns.' After many trials. Dr. lliilkley says he has settled ilown to the following plan for hii adult of medium aize and wetgnt: Twenty to thirty (trains of bicarbonate of acJa in m-o or three ounces of water ev ery half hour, for three done, and a fourth dose at the expiration of an hour from the lam one. Two to four hours are then ullowiil to elapse to see the effect and the four doses are repeated If tli -re ;.ei ma lo be necessity, as is frequently the case. After waltinic two to four hours more, the same course may be taken una in, Hlthout.h this is not often necessary, if the treatment has been begun early In the course of the "cold," as this treat input relate more especially to Its earlv st.-U'ca. although he Buys he has known the dtses to be repeated tour times with final good results. (iOit.MAVS HI. A SON. From the New York Sun, Wu apprehend that Senator Gorman') reason for Insisting that the number f new battleships provided for In the house appropriation hill ahould be reduced from four to two, arose from no hostility to 'he idea of a reasonable navy for the Tnll ed States, but from the fact that Ihe Fed eral government is nut receiving siitllclent revenue In warrant the expend it ure. It Is a matter of bookkeeping. The tariff doesn't supply motley enough lo meet regular ex penses, so Senator liormun deems it wise to proceed with camion. The I'liltcd States is like a man staring in the face of bank ruptcy und forced to skimp the repairs and ilefencca of his house lleeause he can not make money enoiitjh to keep himself alive.
