Long War Probable.

The instructions given Gen. Campos
I and the number OF troops placed at his
7 command justify the conclusion that Spain
] expects a speedy termination OF the re-
volt in Cuba. il IS very probable that she
will be disappointed. The insurgents are
preparing for a long war. They do not
intend to engage in great battles with
the regular troops Of Spain. They have
very few arms and very little ammunition.
They expect. however that their needs
in these respects viii be gradually sup
piled, and that their ability 10 cope with
the Spanish armies will steadily improve.
They will avoid battles therefore that
would likely prove decisive. and will con-
fine themselves for the present to such
warfare as viii give the Spanish troops
plenty TO do, but which will have very lit
tie effect one way OF the other.
The insurgent leaders know that during
the summer months disease is likely to
cause sad havoc among the unacclimated
troops Of Spain. and that the political
situation in Spain is such that her gov
eminent will have to give most Of its at
tention to affairs at home. It is their poll
icy therefore 10 avoid trial of strength
with the armies OF Gen. Campos This
they can do by scattering their followers
and utilizing such opportunities as seem
favorable for attacking their enemies.
The insurgents are aiming to set up a
government with the view of being recog-
nized as belligerents, and thus getting
credit and military supplies from coun-
tries whose people are in sympathy with
them. There is no way of determining
Of course how long they can carry on the
kind of warfare they are at present con-
Quoting. The presumption is. however
that they see their way clearly to main
tanning themselves for year or more
with the help they are certain to get from
their sympathizeTs in this country. By
that time they can tell about what their
chances for ultimate success are.
1t looks as If pretty much the whole
Of Cuba is in sympathy with the move
ment for independence, though of course
only small percentage of the population
has as yet openly espoused the cause of
the insurgents. If the prospects of the
insurgents should steadily become more
promising there IS no doubt that the ac-
cessiOns to their forces in the field would
increase rapidly.
While 1t is true that most of the news
that reaches this country of the progress
Of the war is unfavorable to the cause
Of the insurgents, it doesn't follow that
that cause is doomed to speedy defeat.
Most of the news comes through Spanish
sources, and is probably doctored so as
to make it appear that the Spanish armies
are everywhere victorious. The efforts
that Spain is putting forth to check the
revolt. however are of a character to
Justify the belief that the insurgents are
stronger and better prepared for a long
war than the reports from Cuba indicate.

A wild Charge.

Some Of the most amusing stories are
lhOSe which have a serious side, SAYS the
Louisville Courier-Journal. An old Con-
Iederate soldier the other day told q story
that is very laughable in these days of
peace. 1t was after John Morgan was
made a general that company was form
ed OF some Of his old squadron who had
Just returned from Camp Chase where
Tor some time they had been imprisoned
Inc company had been formed by man
named Quirk a reckless daring fellow
and a stranger to fear. The company
went BY the name of Quirk's Scouts
Al TINS time the company was down
ing around for a fight, when they sud
denly came upon a regiment of federal
cavalry: In a short while the two bodies
OF soldiers were standing face to face
and the bullets were living thick and
fast through the air. The fight that fol-
lowed was desperate one, and each side
Seemed determined to stand its ground.
suddenly as the fight was at its hottest
a horse was seen to dash out of the con-
Iederate line, and start in a direct line
Tor the yankee regiment. On the horse S
back was a. man named English who was
leaning back in his saddle and pulling
with all his might in a. futile effort to stop
MS frightened horse. The animal was
yellOW IN color, and in running took long
ana clumsy jumps. The rider finally saw
that he could not stop the animal and he
made up his mind to make the best of
MS situation. He leaned forward in his
saddle until his head almost touched his
horses neck and his hands clasped the
bride near the bit. Even the riders ears
seemed pinned back, so great was his
effort to make himself as small as posi-
bic. His face was as pale as death. on
went the animal toward the regiment
turning neither to the right nor left
and closer and closer did the rider keep to
the animals body.
The yankees saw the horse with its
rider making straight for them and
they were seized with CONSERVATION. Some
OF the soldiers ceased firing and looked
eNcltedly at the maddened animal flying
toward them. in a short while he reached
the regiment, but did not stop. The fed
erals almost fell upon each other in their
efforts to get away from the horses heels
and regular panic followed. The ami
NAL went plunging through the center
OF the regiment, foaming at the mouth
and with head down. The horse and rider
dashed on through the entire regiment
and the yankees kept making way for
them all down the entire line. Not shot
was fired until he had gotten out of range
and then nearly half of the regiment
who had managed to recover themselves
from their establishment, fired at a cloud
OF dust rising in the air, but the horse
and rider We're at a safe distance
The horse made a complete circle re-
turning to the confederate company in
safety. When the rebels saw their com
rade had returned without a scratch from
such dangerous ride, they almost forgot
the fight before them, and there went
up great cheer.

one of sIcKinIey's Statements.

In his speech al Hartford. the other day.
Gov. Mckinley said; President Harri-
son paid OF s29600Q.0O0 Of the public debt
and turned over 10 Mr.. Cleveland's ad-
ministration Sl2lO00O00 surplus. There
was not a moment from the inaugura-
ton OF President Harrison to the second
Inauguration Of Mr.. Cleveland, in which
we did not collect for every day of every
year sufficient revenue to pay every de
mand and obligation OF the government"
The foregoing statement Of Gov. Nc
kmley's viii cause surprise. He is re-
saried as one Of the few prominent men
Of the Republican party who never at
tempts 10 make a point against a political
opponent by misleading statements. And
yet What is the statement that the HarTi-
son administration turned over to the
Cleveland administration Sl2f.Oo0.0OO but
msleading2 II has been stated time
and time again, and not authOritatively
denied. that the Harrison administration
left the treasury in practically bankrupt
condition, Notwithstanding the fact that
itreceived * when there was an immense
surplus on hand and the revenues far eX-
ceeded the expenditures.
Il IS a notorious fact that the Mckinley
tarn did not furnish sufficient reV6nues
to meet the appropriations Of the billion
dollar congress. It was the programme
Of the Republican party TO use up the
surplus revenue in expenditures so that
Il would be difficult for the democrats.
II they should get into power TO reduce
the tariff. and so they added many MILL
ions of dollars TO the pension burden.
They overdid the matter and had Gen.
Harrison been chosen TO succeed him
self the same financial difficulties would
have been encountered as President Cleve-
lands administration has had to contend
with.
Gov. Mckinley IS a presidential candi-
date lie should be careful not to let
the impression get abroad that he is not
a candid man. A ward politician may dis
regard facts in dealing with the people,
but man who seeks to be President can
not afford to do so.

Hard and Bitter Wills.

1t was remarked by a writer long ago
that there is no revenge so hard and
bitter as that of an old man" And If is
one OF the astonishing -perversities Of
many natures, says the Westminster Re-
view. that the longer they live the harder
they hug their possessions. The most dis
interested affection is passed over. the
most faithful and most valuable services
are slightly and grudgingly rewarded

aftiicts the richest. The Marquis d ALI

Another and urgent reason has been dis
covered why Editor Dana of New York
should not be taken to Washington to be
tried for an alleged libel written in New
York. Ex-Judge Jere Wilson, who won
national notoriety in the BRECKENRIDGE
case last year, says the only law on libel
in the District of Columbia is the old
common law of Maryland, under which a
man could be fined ten pounds of tobacco
or have a hole burned in his tongue 1t
is pretty certain that neither Mr.. Noyes
nor the district court would consider a
fine of ten pounds of tobacco as a punish
ment fitting the crime, in case of convic-
ton, hence the alternative sentence would
be the only one left for the court to i'm
pose. But would that sentence, as stated
by Judge Wilson, be in keeping with the
spirit of the law authorizing it? When
the law was made, libels except by word
of mouth were probably not known. Mr..
Dana didn't attack Mr.. Noyes with his
tongue, but with his pen. through the
medium of his fingers. 1t seems there
fore, that to keep to the spirit of the law
the district court would have to SEN
tence Mr.. Dana to have a hole burned in
each of his offending fingers. And that
sentence would be an infliction upon prob
ably some millions of innocent folks who
Ike to read his writings in the Sun.

A Rehearing.

1t is expected that a motion for a re-
hearing in the income tax case will be
heard by the supreme court next Monday
The attorney general said when the de-
cision was rendered that he would not
ask for a rehearng, being satisfied that
the government had nothing to gain by
it. The parties asking for the rehearlng
are the plaintiffs in the case, and they
desire, If the motion is granted, that
the rehearing shall be by full bench
1t has been almost the unbroken practice
Of the court to have constitutional ques-
tons heard by a fun bench. 1t will be
impossible in this case however, unless
Mr.. Justice Jackson has so far recov-
cred his health as to be able to go to
Washington and take his place in the
court.
The opponents of the income tax feel
confident that If a rehearing is granted
and full bench Is present a decision
against the constitutionality of the whole
act will be secured. The act ought to be
declared unconstitutional, because, in its
present shape, it is monstrously unjust
Some of the richest men in the country
now escape taxation while comparatively
poor men have to bear the burden of the
tax
In this connection it is worthy of no
tice that the newspaper that has been
conspicuous for placing the responsibility
for the tax on the President now virtually
admits that he was opposed to taxing
individual incomes. The President did
suggest a small tax on the incomes of
corporations, but he was strongly against
any such income tax law.as that passed by
congress.

New Party Calculations.
Springfield (Mass) Republican Qnd).

Modesty is not the strong point of the
silver men. Some Of the sponsors for the
new party have figured out something over
604 electoral votes as cock sure for a sill
yer candidate for the presidency next
year. one part of this calculation is
based on the assumption that the silver
element in the Democratic party is strong
enough to compel that party TO nominate
free coinage ticket throughout, with
nary q goldbug to mar its symmetry. This
little matter attended 10, the remainder
would be just too easy for anything. a
free silver democrat is expected to hold
all the Steadfast southern states because
he is democrat and to capture all the
silver states because he Is a silverite

thusiasts OF the new party pretend to be-

Maj Mckinley made a little speech to
the Connecticut folks the other night in
which he gave them some valuable infor-
nation on the money question. My fell
low citizens he said. the way to stop
loans is to stop deficiencies. The reserve
is sure to be drained If you cut off sup
ply. The outflow of gold will never trou-
BILE us when the inflow of gold is only

Kinley as eminently the thing to be used
In this campaign. However. Capt. Buns
by's philosophy is applicable to the majors
own erudite deliverance quoted. The
bearings Of this observation lays in the
application on it," Under the operations
of the Mckinley act the inflow of gold was
short of the outflow to such an ex-
tent that the Harrison administration even
went to the length of ordering bonds
printed with which TO replenish the treas
ury. Notwithstanding the Harrison ad-
ministration received nearly S9S,OO0.000 Of

EnsiaRti's Interest in Nicaragua.
From the Philadelphia Ledger NndO.

Aside from the indemnity claimed for
the expulsion Of Consul Hatch and other
British subjects from Nicaragua, English
citizens hold bonds representing more
than one-third of Nicaraguas national
debt, This loan is secured by mortgage
on the customs revenue and on about one
hundred miles of railroad owned by the
state. This important English bondhold-
ing interest may induce the British gov
eminent to deal gently with Nicaragua

why Don't They Celebrate.
From the New York Evening Post Qnd.

The price of beef is now higher than it
was in the year 1873. This fact ought to
gladden. the hearts of the silverites who
think that low prices are the bane of the
human race. Yet we have not heard of
any public meeting being called to cele-
brate this advance in the price of steaks
in the price of coal IL the anthracite COM
panies can bring 1t about, and there is
already an advance in petroleum In none
of these cases is there any sign of public
rejoicing such as ought, according TO the
silver theory. to attend the advance in
prices. 1t may be replied that the the
DRY requires the advance to be general
before it becomes beneficial In other
words, people are not benefited by paying
8 cents pound more for beef and % cents
ton more for coal unless at the same
time they have TO pay a dollar more for
shoes and 81 more for a coat, and other
things in proportion
