THE THREATENED WAR WITH


LII is difficult to imagine anything more alb
surd than the idea of Spain going to war with
the United States on account of the friendly
proffer made by our Government of its SER
vices as a mediator between the mother coun-
try and Cuba. If our advances are objec-
tionable, it is an easy matter for the
Spanish Cabinet to reject them; and if no
practicable form of negotiation is suggested,
the whole subject will be at once disposed of,
and Spain and Cuba will be left at full liberty
to continue their mutually ruinous struggle.
But it is now alleged that large party in
Spain, not satisfied with their internal diff
culties in fighting against factionists,
and with the additional embarrass-
ments arising from the efforts to
equip new expeditions to Cuba, propose to
get up war with this country. Spanish
organ in New York, to give plausibility to
this incredible story, states that thousands of
letters have been received from ex-Confede-
rates offering their services to Spain in the
contemplated struggle. For daring to raise
the voice of the nation in behalf of humanity,
and for venturing to attempt to promote the
interests of both parties involved in the
Cuban struggle, we are threatened with
a galvanized rebellion, on small scale,
on our own soil, and the appearance
on the ocean of a host of privateers,
sailing under the Spanish flag, to
prey on our commerce. These rumors are
too ridiculous to merit serious notice; but if
it should ever become necessary to prick the
bubble of Spanish buster, the nation will not
be content with merely gobbling up the relics
of Spanish colonial glory, but it will invade
the domain of Spain herself, set up there the
standard of republic, and with the aid of
the Republican party of that country, destroy
forever the prospects of all the contending
claimants for the Spanish crown by perma-
nently establishing popular rule in one of
the most ancient of European kingdoms.

An English paper says the stage Irishman has
been creature in whom no Englshman ever
believed as true representative Of the real Hi
bernian; but as he was and is, even more popu-
lar on the Irish stage than our own, he has been
accepted as something near the truth. 1t is q
curious fact that nearly all the exaggerated
stage Irishmen are the product of Irish authors
The easy, natural, gentleman-like stage Hiber-
nian was first created by an Englishman- -''Major
O'Flaherty," by Cumberland. The Irish press is
very severe in its strictures not against the
caricatured Irishman of Irish authors, but
against Londoners who take them for reslties.
Recently an incident occurred at the Portadown
inquest which might excuse us poor Cockneys
for believing in the lrishman of the stage. Even
Cockneys know that an Irish inquest tops any
screaming farce" in the world. At Portadown
the coroner rebuked a counsellor, and the latter
angrily asked, "Do you take me for jackass of
only one years standing?" The official did not
answer the chronological part of the question,
in which there is flavor of the comic acting
Irishman.

quarter Of the people Of England are, at some period
OF their lives, dependent for subsistence upon pubic
or private charity and that millions OF people In that
country barely drag out existence upon pttance
insufficient to secure food necessary for health in
abodes unfit for human beings.
In 1851 thirteen per cent. OF the whole population
of London were relieved paupers in 1SeS tne PER-
centage had increased to sixteen, or one in every
six. In 1868 the number OF actual paupers in Eng
lard and Wales was 1,OS4,OOO to $4,000 in 1884.
Starvation wages, running from nine shlings week
for farm aborers to thirty shllllngs weekly to the
best skilled workmen, has much to do with this, and
thus It is that American manufacturers are un-
dersold at their homes.
In London 100000 children run wild in the streets,
nearly equivalent to the whole number OF boys ard
girls In this city. That city has 1874 professional
criminals, over 1900 professional mendcants, and
5000 abandoned women. Last year 1OO,357 cases
OF drunkenness and dlsorderly conduct were before
the London courts, and 1Ss56S paupers received

PROTESTANT EOUMENIOAL
COUNCIL.

DIR. MERLE DAuB1aNE, in letter to an Eng
lish friend, proposes General Conference of
the Protestant Churches, to be held after the
approaching Ecumenical Council of the
Roman Catholic Church, and to have for its
object "a manifestation of evangelical prin-
ciples, in reply to the doctrinal announce
ments expected from Rome. ''The work of
the Reformation, writes DIR. dAubigne, ''was
arrested in the second half of the sixteenth
century. 1t is time that we should take it up,
and the invitation which the Pope has ad-
dressed TO us furnishes a suitable occasion"
The work which the writer proposes for the
conference ISL. To affirm ''the great doc
trines of Holy Scriptures" q To urge upon
Protestants the duty of carrying on the work
of the Reformation" and 3. ''To try to make
Roman Catholics understand that the differ
ence between them and Protestants is this;
that they cling to religion which addresses
itself TO the imagination or intellect, the es-
sence Of which is submission to the Church.

THE KING OF ITALY, says cable telegram,
has consented to the selection of the Duke of
Genoa, one of his sons, as King of Spain.
This is certainly very kind on the part of his
Majesty, especially as the Spaniards have not,
as yet, expressed any desire to have the Duke
of GENOA for their ruler. The chances are
that neither the Duke of Genoa, nor any
other royal scion will be needed in Spain.
Each days delay in the selection Of king
renders the republic more posi- ole and the
monarchy more improbable.

THE PENSIONS AND THE AGENTS.

THE PENSIONS AMI IHE AGENIS
TELEGRAM to the Associated Press states
that the Secretary of the Interior sustains the
instructions of the Commissioner of Pensions,
that all pensions must be paid in checks drawn
directly to the order of the pensioners, in
stead of being paid in currency to agents or
attorneys. This course has been rendered
necessary in consequence of numerous COM
plants that attorneys or agents have exacted
enormous fees from the objects of the bounty
of the Government, and we are only surprised
that it was not adopted long ago. We trust
that it will prove an effective safeguard to
pensioners hereafter. At all events, it will
ensure to them the control of the money
drawn for their use from the Treasury, and
no perquisite or fee can be exacted without
their free and voluntary consent. While
agents or attorneys collected in currency they
were masters of the situation, and facilities
were given for a thousand species of fraud,
from an exorbitant charge for their services
to the downright swindle of pocketing the
whole sum appropriated by the Government
to some of its defenders.
The plea is set up that the pensioners in re-
mote districts will be put to great inconve-
nience by the new system, but we see little
danger of this The Secretary of the Interior
says that "a check on the Treasury is believed
by the pensioners to be as good as currency"
and there is no reason to doubt this assertion.
1t is not at all necessary that bank should
be near to ensure prompt collection. There
is not merchant, and scarcely an active bust
ness man, who will not accept one of these
checks from pensioner Of his acquaintance
as readily as greenbacks; and for country
merchants, as we'll as pensioners, they answer
even abetter purpose than currency, because
when made payable to order, they cannot be
rendered available by any branch of the light
fingered family.
The pension system was devised, and it is
now sustained at an enormous expense, for
the benefit of soldiers and their families. and
not for the advantage or enrichment of any
class of agents or attorneys. Thousands and
tens of thousands of pensioners, however.
have been robbed of large portion or the
whole of the sums awarded to them by the
nation, and the laws, as practically admins
tered have made the largest pensioners OF
= the list men who never set a squadron il
the field, never fought battle, never received
a wound, never shouldered musket. bu
who, worse than the vampires, have fattene,
4 exclusively on patriot blood. The closer thei
bills are cut the better will it be for the nation
and the soldiers.

the resolution excluding the laity from parti-

majority. This is sign of healthy senti-
ment in the Church, and if il is rehabilitated
in this generous spirit, the gain by disesta-

the loss
