with the acceut on the second syl
lable. The latent nnd in oft pertinent in
terprclatiou of Weyler's words "I
simply pushed the button, the assas
sins did the rest."
When Sherman says "it will not
do to issue any more bonds in time of
peace," he simply reiterates what the
people said at the recent election.
If the United Slntes has a right to
interfere for (be prevention of a war
in Veuezuelt, it surely has a right to
interfere for -the otoppiog of one in
Cuba.
Doctor's are trying to prove that
there is no such disease as hydropho

The sheep raisers have about con
cluded that the so-called tariff re
formers cf tbe Cievland type have
pulled the wool over their eyes long
enough. '
, A tariff for revenue is all right
for Uncle Sam, but a tariff for pro
tection is what Uncle Sam's seventy
million nephews and nieces need.

That there may be no mistake in
the present crisis about his sympathy
for the farming element in Kansas,
Senator Pefler now manicures bis

In the only battle Weyler has won
he seems to have killed a general and
all his staff under a flag of truce, the
-insurgent army being absent. Per
haps it will be considered a famous
victory in Spain.

Cuba and the Philippines are many
thousand miles apart, but tho result
of Spanish despotism in both is the
same. If Yankee filibusters are to
blame for tbe war in Cuba, who is at
the bottom of the similar revolution
on the other side of the earth?
The statistics show that since last
July the shipment of apples to Ku
rope have been from 150,000 to 175,
000 barrels a week, the total up In
December 1 exceeding 1,750,000 bar
rets, which surpasses all previous
records. This is one of the Ameri
can products for which tho foreign
demand is constantly increasing, with
but little competition from other
countries.
Hon. Roswki.lG. Hokr, ex-Congressman
from Michigan, and whose
lectures before the Forest County
teachers' institute two years ago de
lighted the largo audiences which
heard him, died at Plainfield, N. J.,
on Friday night last. He was re
markably effective in debate, anil his
successive terms in Congress showed
how well his abilities were apprecia
ted by his constituents. A sturdy
partisan, Mr. Horr was nevertheless
unselfish and self sacrificing, and by
hia labors on the stump in the recent
campaign labors which undoubtedly
shortened his lile ho rendered a
national service to the Sound Money
principle which will cause his name
to be gratefully remembered far be
yond the confines of his own state.
The Republican party has lost a
great advocate in his death.
The announcement that Senator-
elect McEoery of Louisiana will aid
in the passage of a protective tariff
bill through the next Congress should
create no surprise. He has long been
known as favoring protection for su
gar, rice and lumber, and naturally
if be favors looking after the inter
ests of his own state he will not be
averse to protecting the interests of
other states. The Democratic New
Orleans Picayune says that Mr. Mc-
Enery "will not quibble about party
ines and affiliations. He ays be
will not, and that he will favor every
measure that will benefit Louisiana,
and that he is in favor of giving to
other states what he asks in legisla
tive matters for his own." The ex
perience of the people of Louisiana
with the present Administration and
the treachery it showed towards the
sugar planters has doubtless con
vinced them that they must look to
tho Republican party for any ade
quate and permanent protection of
their interests.

According to the report of the
Secretary of the Navy, the cruiser
Dolphiu steamed 10,201 miles last

and yet this is the vessel that Secre
tary Whitney declared to be practi
cally useless on account "structural
weaknesses."
It is reported that Gov.-elect Tan

Bryan and Watson received about
110,400 votes in the different states,
and if these are added to the Rryau
and Sewall vote McKinley's plurality
will be about 700,000, to which Pal

annexed as a measure of the sound

candidate! for United States Senator
in the several commonwealths of
this great republic, has addressed cir
culars to tho secretaries of state-auk
iog for information. The reply from
Idaho's secretory of Stato is worth
quoting in part. He says:
"In answer tu your inquiry T the
1st i list. I have to state that it will
be utterly impossible to give you a
list of the names of the probable can
didates for the United Slates Senate.
So far as I am ahlo to find out, there
is only one Populist in the State of
Idaho who is not a candidate for the
United States Senate, aud he is dead."
The men of Idaho are patriotic,
aud not ono of them shrinks when
called upon to be measured for a toga.
Since ttie secicUrv of slate wrote
this letter, the Supremo Court of Ida
ho has decided that women are enti
tled to vole, as the amendment to the
Constitulion extending the suffrage
was carried by a plurality of votes,
though not by a majority. This de
cision adds the women to the men as
candidates for the United States Sen
ate, for if they are entitled to vote
they are also elibible to hold office.
In this particular, Idaho excells West
Virginia in the anxiety of its citizens
for official place, for in our neighbor
State the women have no chance.
There was nothing in-herently ira
probable in the report of the murder
of Maceo by the Spaniards, even be
fore the intelligence came which
seems to confirm the story. lhis
barbarity is in line -with other Span-
ish crimes in the present and preced
ing uprisings in Cuba. Tweuty-tbree
years ago the world was horrified at
the news of the slaying if Gen. Can
by and one or two companions by tbe
Modocs while on a peace commission
to these savages, but the latest reports
show that Muceo's assassination was
attended with features of iufamv
which were-abseut in the ease of the
American General's murder. . The
entire war in Cuba has been charac
terised on tho part of the Spanish by
crimes which recall the acts of" Gben-
ghis Khan..
This latest nutrage-ehacks civiliza
tion, will take away frcio Spain tbe
small amount of sympathy which
Europe had for her in her struggle
and will hasten Cuban recognition by
the. United States The Modoc mur
derers were hanged, and it is a pity
that justice cannot be wreaked on
Weyler and his companion barbarians
who concocted or executed this crime.

Ex-Senator Inqalls says that the
auti trust law was formulated by Mr.
Edmunds, "the most practical legisla
tor of the age," aud the man who
framed a similar law that "strangled
polygamy to death." Therefore, he
thinks, aud tbe idea seems reasonable,
that the trusts cau he smashed by
simply carrying out this measure in
an holiest and resolute way.
While Minister de Lome is apol
ogizing for ihe Maceo stories from
Cuba, which he says misrepresents
Spain, he might explaiu why truthful
American newspaper correspondents
are not permitted to remain in Cuba
and learu the facts. Seuor de Lome
has a hard lime apologizing for some
thiugs in connection with
conduct of affairs in Cuba.
The Government circles at Wash
iugtou seem to be all torn up over the
conf titutioual question whether a res
olution by Congress coo constitute
the act of recognition, or whether the
President has that authority so ex'tTu
sively that he could ignore such i
resolution as has been approved by
the Senate Committee. There are the
most widely conflicting opinions on
the point, and the statu ef liellijer
euco in Washington over it is hardly
less indisputable than the raonted
state of belligerence in Cuba.
Si: much can be said on both sides
of the constitutional iesne that
hesitate to go iuto the discussion of
the conflicting theories. It is. per
haps, unnecessary, in view of the fact
the President and Congress will have
to settle it between themselves, any
how, probably with the assistance of
the Supreme Court, and the sugges
tion that Secretary Olney has pro
duced bis theory only for the allay
ment or the opamsh exasperation
which has reached a stage closely ap
proximaiing lunacy liut one prao-
tieal point is worth noting. Whilo
the exact constitutional division
power between the Executive and
congress on tne declaration nt war
and diplomatic action, involving pos
sible hostilities, is doubtful and com
plicated, it is plain that effective and
vigorous measures cannot be taken
unless Congress and the President are
in full agreement and can act har
moniously to cflVt their common
purpose.
This consideration may inject into
the constitutional dispute the practi
cal reflection that, while Congress
may have the theoretical nowor to
"pain a etil ,)0 hnrse t0 water, it cannot
make hiiu drink. FitUbwy Dispatch.
