The last number of Las Noyedades,
Spanish organ published in New YORK
city, contains long editorial upon The
Cuban Problem printed in English.
This is all favorable to the government
and speaks of the insurgents as assassins
and incendiaries. 1t represents that the
better class of people Of the island are in
sympathy with Spain, and that there isn't
the slightest doubt but what the govern
ment will put down the revolution in the
fall. 1t also declares that the rebellion
was premature because the malcontents
saw that the Spanish government was to
grant Cuba partial autonomy and feared
such a concession would allay discomfort.
So it appears there was discomfort, al
though the whole tenor of the article Is
manifestly intended to excite in the minds
Of Americans feeling of horror at the
base ingratitude on the part OF those, who
have been unwilling to turn all the sur
plus wealth from Cuba's splendid re-
sources into the Spanish Golfers, In return
for being governed after the manner in
which the Spanish province has been ever
ruled-until it had the strength to throw
off the Spanish yoke. Spain never knew
how to govern a province. 70 be sure
Spanish colonists are not easily governed
But Spain has not been able to govern
L fnr "A
Noyedades fails to show that Cuba has
been wisely, economically or justly gov
erned. Everyone with any knowledge OF
the matter knows that the contrary is
true. Unimpeached history records ter
rible chapter. the ten years war which
Spain found necessary only few years
ago In order to keep the island under sub
lection. The Spanish leaders deemed the
most cruel methods necessary in subJugat-
ing this country then. That separatist
revolution was too determined and main
tanned at too much personal sacrifice to
have been the mere outbreak of lawless
elements, assassins and incendiaries.
| Since that time spain has been squeezing
the cost of that war from the semi-para-
lyzed industry of the island. 1t is plain
that Spain is alarmed at the manifesto
tions of American sympathy with the re-
bellion or the authorities would not have
gone to the trouble to print portion OF
Spanish newspaper organ in English
and circulate 1t broadcast. The claim
that Spain will quell this rebellion may
be good one. 1t certainly is probable.
But the claim that Cuba has been well
governed Is absurd in the light of history,
and the heroic manner in which insurgent
leaders have sacrificed their lives in this
rebellion is proof that they are in earnest,
are fighting for cause in which they be-
lieve, one that from the nature of circum-
stances must command the sympathies OF
the American people for 1t is the cause oil
| freedom from foreign tyranny.

Senator Justin s. Morrill, of Vermont,
is the patriarch of the U. S. Senate, but
his mind is as clear as ever and his mem
DRY has yet to be found at fault where
important congressional events are con-
cerned. And so this, which he has to say
about the alleged crime of 1873" carries
the weight of kno wledge as we'll as that Of
veracity:
There has been loud and delusive
cry about the act of Congress in 1878
which, after three years OF consideration
by the treasury department and by Con-
gress, purposely omitted to provide for
the further coinage of the silver dollar,
none having been coined for nearly forty
years and only eight millions had ever
been coined. At that time the only cur
rency In use as money was deprecated
paper, a legal tender for all debts. and
debts then on specie basis could have
been paid In gold at about two per cent
aess cost than In silver. 1t was sought
to avoid its Instability, which followed
sooner, perhaps, than was expected; and
this prudent and politic act has been tn,
ark which has saved our people from
being wholly overwhelmed by the silye,
Hood. some members of Congress, wht
have spunkiiy confessed ignorance of it,

gathering ever since. Only when shrink

The act however, is still sailed by dema-
gogues who use big word, unknown to
such photographers as Johnson, and
swear at 1.-THE crime of '73, which de
monetized silver If this bugaboo word
means that the United States, or the
world, had less silver money than in 1878,
or that our silver dollar was deprived of a
legal-tender prerogative, it is a gross
falsehood. According to the director OF
the mint there has been an increase Of the
worlds silver coinage since 1873 to the
amount of s13, 900, 900, 900, or an increase
of fifty per cent of the worlds silver coin
age, of which the United States contributed
the largest share.

CONCERNING Boards.
The T Beard of Queen Elizabeth's Time.
Fashion introduced by Charles III.

The Anglo Saxons were proud of their
boards, but when William of Normandy
arrived he gave orders for every one to
shave Some, rather than submit to this
tyrannical treatment, eXiled themselves to
a land where they could live with their
boards in peace. Williams successors,
however, abandoned shaving. and we find
that people did pretty much as they liked
till Elizabeth came to the throne, VIXEN,
in the first year of her reign, a tax
was imposed of IS. 4d. on every beard
above "a fortnight's growth. The law was
never enforced, and so it lapsed. The
poets of this golden age of literature make
several illusions to the beard and the fam
tastic shapes which were affected by the
swells of the time. The most notable in
stance of these is a passage in the Queen
of Corinth, by Beaumont and Fletcher
His beard,

ner of wearing tho mustache and beard
pointed without the whiskcrs, fashion
which originated in Elizabeth's reign and
became exceedingly popular during the
reigns of the first James and Charles Mar
tyr. The Puritans-to wit, Old Noll-
were clean shavon. Then Charles IL,
fresh from Paris, with all the fashions of
that city, introduced the wearing of a hid
eous little tuft of fluff on the chin. The
boards day was over in England, at least
for a time The tuft disappears with the
second James, and Annc's courtiers appear
with clean shorn faces.

One Of the facts connected with the en-
forcement of the Sunday law In New York
Is the diminution of crime on that day of
the week. Perhaps the alleged "poor
man" will not be willing to buy his Sun
day beer on Saturday night in order to
continue this very desirable condition of
affairs 1t is extremely probable, how
ever, that the so-called "poor man" would
submit with tolerably good grice to what,
he no doubt In some instances considers
an inconvenience if not a hardship, were
it not that he is egged on by the rum
sellers and such of the politicians, rs real
lie that their success depends upon in
creasing the saloons power in politics
and then controlling the saloon. That
this Is their purpose cannot be doubted
Not only does common sense indicate it
but the public has confession direct from
the lips of Interested parties Editor
Smith of tho Wine and Spirit Gazette ex
poses the whole matter when no states
that Gov. HILL In refusing to recommend
the repeal of the excise law said to him:
"You know am the friend of the liquor
dealers, aud will go almost to any length
to help them and give them relief. but do
not ask me to recommend to the Legisla-
turo the passage of law opening the
saloons on Sunday. / cannot do 1t. for 1t
would ruin the Democratic party In the
State.
Then Mr. Smith relates how the law
was used to blackmail the liquor dealers
until tho extortions became uncomfortable
and the Liquor Dealers Association made
an agreement to support Tammany hall If
the police would discontinue their black
mailing practices. Then whenever rum
sellers allegiance to Tammany hall ap-
peared to DO weak his saloon was closed
on Sunday, while his neighbor and com
petitor was allowed to run wide open.
In short the issue in New York today Is
whether the people shall control the
saloons or the saloons shall control the
people.

American women are, unfortunately,
particularly subject to those painful fe-
male diseases that are the cause of so
much hopelessness and misery.
Could all women realize the undeni-
able fact that they suffer unnecessarily,
how much brighter life would be.
Lydia f. Pinkham devoted her life to

the theories of their physicians, write to
