THE CUBAN STRUGGLE.

Claims That the United States Should In
 terfere In Her Behalf.
 Two reasons would justify the United States in making vigorous remonstranee to Spain, backed up, if need be, by force the general dictates of civilization and hu- manity and the interests of American citi- zens on the islands We will eoneede of course that the United States has no mis- sion to reform the universe. Neither the constitution nor the statutes impose any such obligation on this country. Our task is smaller and simpler than this But, disnissing this consideration for the mo ment, the point of practical concern is still to be touched Thousands of citizens of the United States reside in Cuba, and this number is constantly and rapidly increas- ing. The trade of the United States with Cuba is far greater than that of any other country. The United States sells as much to Cuba as Spain does, which ranks higher than any other nation in this particular, and it buys from Cuba 13 times as much as Spain. These facts give this country direct and vital concern in the affairs of that island.
 Humanity, too, has claims which appeal strongly to the United States in this con- nection. In certain degree civilized na- tions are their brothers keepers. Eng land, France and Russia are going to in terfere to prevent renewal of the Arne- nian atrocities by Turkey. The Turkey of western Europe is Spain. Spain is the one country in the world making pretensions to civilization whose manners and morals are unchanged by the lapse of time In Spain it is still the sixteenth century. The agents of Campos would, if they had the power, treat the Cubans like Cortes did the natives of Mexico. In the early part of the insurrection they had the power and they used 1t in this way The administra- tion at Washington should remember that only through her fears can Spain be influ- enced in the direction of humanity and civilization. Alarmed by Grants warning ill 1S75 she promised tomake all approach to nineteenth century usages in Cuba, but she postponed the performance of it and at last disregarded it when the disputed elec- toral count of 1876 diverted the attention of this country from Cuba. She made promises of reforms to Cuba during the insurrection of 1s68-78, and, of course, she repudiated them If the president appeals to congress for the authority to protect American interests and defend civilization ill Cuba, the people will see to it that this power is granted.--St Louis Globe Demo crat.

Mark Twain,s Hard Luck.

Samuel L. Clemens tells the public that he is not featuring for his own ben eft, but for the benefit of the creditors of the failed publishing concern for which he furnished the financial back ing. "Honor," he says, is harder master than the law. It cannot com promise for less than 100 cents on the dollar, and its debts never outlaw. !" He further says: sFrcm my reception thus far am confident that if I live 1 can pay off the last debt within four years, after which, at the age of GA, can make fresh and unincumbered start in life.'' When Mark Twain writes this ill obvious and very serious earnest, he ex- aibits himself in very different char acter from that of the professional hu- morist. There is heroic side and q pathetic side as well as q humorous side to this man. May he survive to make that fresh and unincumbered start.- Chicago Chronicle.

MEMS FASHIONS.
Novelties at the Merchant Tailors Fall
 Exhibition in New York.

This season the skirts of cutaway coats are much shorter ilan they were last. The tails come to an abrupt termination just too late to afford the spectator a fair view of the rear suspender buttons of the wearer This saves a good deal of cloth, but it makes the cutaWay look like a sack coat that has had the corners shipped of. A man doesn't have to go through the pre- liminary operation of lifting his skirts be- fore he sits down This style of coat will look just as bad on fat citizen as it did last year
 Dress suits como this year in diagonals and undressed worsteds. ]. C. Weiss, q tailor will appear in u new sort of even ing apparel. It is plum colored diagonal with a changeable lining that flashes tints of blue and purple alternately at the as- tonished beholder The coat and the waist coat have velvet collars and there is dou- ble stripe of braid down the legs of the trousers. MT. Weiss has asked all his GUS toners to agree to appear i'll this dazzling sort of garb and feels hopeful that his luck will be good.
 The ordinary overcoat will be much shorter than last year, but tho surtout or excessively long overeeat, that is so well adapted to conceal the faett that the wearer not long ago spilled ! pint of table d'hote elaret over his lavender trousers, will be as long as ever
 There will be loose cuffs on the sleeves of the coaching coats, just as there were last year. Though cutaways and ordinary oyercoats are made shorter there will be no reduction in the length of time fash ionable tailors will wait for their money
 Trousers are very much narrower at the bottom this year The fashion i'll arms excites the suspicion that the puff sleeve of the feminine gender is going to be adopted by the male, but experts say that this fear is not justified and that sleeves will get narrower.
 Waistcoats made of buff leather cloth and of chamois are novelty, as is also a waterproof cloak for the legs of eques- trians. No one at the exhibition knew how to put it on. It was agreed, however that the effect would be great Exchange.

4 Connecticut Rattlesnal.e.

The snake story of the day is told by Caleb Davis of Great Quarter, Newtown. He killed a rattler 5 feet long, with 19 rattles. He says: T was going along be- side my hosses, and stepping over the bushes and weeds, as had done every day before for two weeks As l raised my right foot to put it in over sartain stone, heard a whir, whir, whir and I said, Whoa, mighty quick. I trembled all over for there was the biggest rattlesnake ever see. I grabbed the ax out of the wagon and cut hickory pole 10 feet long, perhaps more. 1 whacked him with this, but the bushes kind O kept the blows off. He came toward me, and my hair stiffened right up, but finally fetched him. "-- Hartford Courant.
