The suggestion Of . possible dicker
with Spain for Cuba does not meet the
views Of the newspaper press in the
United States. Without regard to par.
tissn predictions. our contemporaries
oppose any attempt to obtain the island,
the principal products Of which are
sugar and revolutions. Many reasons
are given for letting Cuba alone, a prom.
inent one being that the island belongs
to Spain, which power prefers to keep it.
Aside from this, however. the Schen-
ectady Union suggests two. either of
which should be sufficient. "The Cuban
population, says the Union, sis not TT
ted for self.government, and the island,
il o part Of the United States, would be
q constant cause of annoyance and ex-
pense."

MORRISON STILL HOPEFUL.

ct give up nothing" said Col. Will
lam r. Morrison recently, just previous
to boarding a train in Chicago for Spring
field. His remark was in reply to the
question: Shave you given up hopes OF
an election to the United States Senate
since the election of Weaver in the
Twenty-fourth Districts"
81 intend to make the fight" con-
tinued Mr.. Morrison, Just as though l
had the majority Of votes. l admit that
the election of q Republican in the
Twenty-fourth District to succeed a
Democrat gives the Republicans lob
votes to our lOl on joint ballot. / also
admit that Gen. Logan's prospects have
been improved, but what the result will
be I cannot tell. Gen. Logan was un.
able to muster l02 votes before Viewers
election, and it remains to be seen
whether he can muster l03 votes now
that another Republican has been ad-
ded.
do I think there was any ground on
which to contest the election OF Mr..
Weaver? I don't know. At first sight
it appears suspicious, to say the least.
that . Republican should have been re-
turned from a Democratic district. Oh
course there is no law against such a
. trick as was played, but it is not a fair
representation of the people. 1t is not a
true expression of the opinion of the
voters in that district. l don't know
that there is any irregularity in the re.
turns. but the Democrats will probably
take advantage of the delays allowed by
law to investigate th e affair.""

PROHIBITION In KANSAS.
Further Proof of the Failure Of the Law
in the Cities Of the State.

LAWRENCE, Kan, Sept. 6.-The Journal of
this city, which has heretofore advocated the
prohibitory law, now declares itself antprohi-
bition. saying: Every friend Of humanity in
this State wishes that the efforts now making to
check the evil of intemperance may succeed but
there are many true friends of the cause who,
from the beginning, have had but little faith in
the efficacy of present methods. Hired advo-
Gates of the present movement have assured us
from time to time that there are no intoxi'
eating liquors manufactured in the State,
ana that there are but very few places
where they are sold as beverage
But these people either took no pains
to inform themselves of the facts or they willful-
ly deceived us. In this city there are sixteen es-
adjustments beside the brewery that supply our
citizens with spirituous liquors. 1t is to be
doubted whether in the palmiest DAYS of the
liquor traffic we had larger number of saloons.
These are FACTS too stubborn to be dissipated by
the eloQuence of the hired temperance orators,
and they add to the superintendent evidence
or the TACT that men cannot be made temperate
by legislation"
The revenue collector of the State reports the
number of licenses for the sale of intoxicating
liquors as l, 895. In the wicked cities, Leaven-
worth citizens hold 2l0; Atchison, &c. Topeka, 81;
Wichita 90; Wyandotte, 3d. New Kiota, g. and
Dodge City, 12l. There are seven breweries at
work in the State, which during the month of
July brewed and sold as follows: The one at
Leavenworth. 1854 barrels; at Topeka, 1876 bar
rels at Lawrence, 295; at Atchison. 325; at Fort
Scott, l4l; at Wichita, %; at Fleetwood, 4 In
the past month the demand for government
licenses has greatly increased, 400 having been
issued in that time. The cities of the State are
now undergoing severe strain on the law. They
are just now feeling financially the cutting off Of
the city saloon taxes. AS a result the law is
receiving the severest censure since its passage.
Old saloon men are taking advantage of this
wave of public feeling to secure government
licenses preparatory to opening up. Though
there are sixteen licenses held in the city, there
are but seven of these drug stores selling liquors

4 WOMAN BEWITCHED.
The Strange and Oft-Repeated Symptoms Of
aPennsylvania Maiden.

KITTANNING, Pa, Sept. 8.-Considerable in
the case Of Miss Weaver, who lives with her
parents on the pike between this place and
Indiana, about three miles distant. About
year ago the young lady was seized with acute
pains in several portions of her body, and a
physician was called in. An examination was
made and number of needles were discovered
imoedded in the flesh underneath the skin.
These being removed the patient rapidly re-
covered and remained In good health for a few
weeks, when she was again attacked with pains
similar to those which had caused her previous
trouble
The family physician DR.. G. j. Jessop, of this
place, was again called in, and it was discovered
that there was the same cause for her illness,
land number OF needles were taken from her
body. Since that time she has been attacked in
a similar way, and On each occasion a number
OF needles have been removed before relief could
be obtained. A day or two ago was the time of
her last attack, and at that time Dr. Jessop,
being called in, removed several cambria needles
entire as we'll as several broken pieces, which
had found Judgment in her body in some mys.
FERROUS way.
The prevalent belief in this neighborhood is
that the young woman has been bewitched, and
that the needles have been inserted in her body
by the supernatural agency of some one allied
with the powers of darkness. Strange as this
may SEEM nearly every one in that section
seems to be imbued with this idea. Several of
the more intelligent neighbors allege that til
young woman drives the needles into her body
in order to crafty morbid craving for noto-
riety but others claim that it would not hardly
be proba bic that such painful method of pro-
curing such notoriety would be adopted. The
Wltshcraft theory finds many more supporters.
