And Cleveland Still Waits.
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

McKlnley receives thousands of letters

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.

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

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

been considerable, but the government

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. All this because a pack of nonde
script niitinclers got possession of Mie
Democratic party and made a deliolt tarliT
to giatiry their personal whims.
