GETTING HOLM CUBA.
Uncle Sam May Take "a Hand-May Rec
ognize Cuba as "a Belligerent.

Hon. Don. M. Dickinson, of Michi-
gan, who was postmaster-general dur
ing President Cleveland's first term
and who has always been a close friend
of the President has given some inter
esting information as to the admins
tratiou's standing in regard to the
Cuban revolution. lie says in part:
Among the first questions To be con-
sidered by President Cleveland and
the cabinet is the proposed inquiry
into the condition of affairs in Cuba
The case is urgent. While the general
policy of the administration is to do
nothing in the case till after Jan. j,
the President does not for a moment
overlook the fact that "A Republican
congress will soon assemble
and if by December the administration
is unable TO announce Cuban policy
there will be great danger that con-
gress will take matters into its own
hands in some form.
Madrid: II is stated on the best
authority that the government of the
United States has notified the Spanish
minister at Washington, Senior Depuy
de LONE. that there is a necessity that
Spain should act promptly in her
efforts TO crush the instruction in
Cuba. The news has caused quite
sensation here. The government has
decided to carry on n vigorous cam
paign in Cuba Just as soon as the dry
season commences. Whatever may
have been the inspiring cause of re-
cent Spanish activity against the in
surgents it is now known officially that
Spain is about TO open campaign of
far greater energy than any thus far
taken
spanisrds Threaten to Invade Florida.
Havana: The excitement and bad
feeling of the Spanish against the
American government and people in
creases. 1t is reported that one high
Spanish official said: After we put
down the Cuban insurrection we will
invade Florida with 1000 men, re-
conquer it and oblige Uncle Sam to
pay us $500, 900, 900 for allowing fill
clustering expeditions to be fitted out
against a peaceful and friendly nation
like Spain" In case of riot in this
city, which is not considered far off,
the Americans here would be first at
tackled.

Presbyterian synod of Michigan.

The Presbyterian synod Of Michi-
gan was held at Adrian with over 100
delegates present. A good deal of at
tention was given to Alma College and
Tappan association at the University
of Michigan. The reports showed that
the church was strong numerically and
had held its own during the recent
financial troubles. There are now
1000 young peoples societies in Michi-
gan Presbyterian churches, of which
$50 are Presbyt erian societies Among
the numerous addresses were several
very strong ones on temperance lines
and the fourth Sunday of November
was set apart for temperance sermons
throughout the state. Detroit was Sc
lected as the place for holding the
synod in 1896

Disastrous Failures at hay city.

The well-known lumber firm of
Alfred Mosher Il Son, of Bay City,
have given mortgages covering their
extensive business amounting to over
$500, 900, and their total liabilities are
about S7OO,O0O Their failure carried
down Alvin Maltby, another lumber
man, who has given mortgages
amounting TO about S65, 900. The
failures of these two concerns have
made IA decided sensation throughout
the state. The Moshers have bought
heavily during the past three years
and with heavy shrinkage of values
have been unable to realize on invest
ments. Heavy investments in Wash
ington timber, where they are also
interested in a fine lumber plant, have
not proved profitable and this has
helped to drag them down.

REVIEW OF TRADE.

Bradstreet's saws: Colder weather has slim
ulated a seasonable demand for staple dry
goods, millinery and clothing. and iobbers in
these lines In all parts OF the country feel the
Improvement. Relatively most gam has been
made at the south, where an Improvement Is re-
ported in almost all lines. Interior merchants
are placing more liberal orders than for several
years and and larger disturbing centers report
sales OF goods to the cotton belt and collections
therefrom exceptionally free. The more UNI
favorable features arc found in disappointment
at the moderation with which wheat is exported
from week to week. the reported weakness In
pig iron and steel billets and the competition
suffered by domestic WOODEN manufacturers
from abroad But an examination of these con-
ditions indicates that IL reports OF the size OF
the wheat crop and OF wheat stocks carried out
be accepted. average weekly exports from this
country. III kept up to the end OF the crop year,
will exhaust the amount of wheat available for
shipment abroad.

Terrible Water Famine Along the Ohio.
For two months severely felt
drouth has reigned over western Penn
sylyania, West Virginia, almost the en-
tire state of Ohio and parts of Indiana.
Since April 8, owing to shallow water
in the Monongahela river, not bushel
of coal has passed Pittsburg and 5000
miners in the river pits are idle. All
the boats are loaded and 20,000.000
bushels of coal are waiting. Railroads
are forced to haul water for their en-
gines. The Ohio river is so low at
East Liverpool that the water pipes
are almost empty. Nine-tenths of the
small towns have strictly limited the
consumption of water. A large num-
Der of towns have cut off shops and
mills, forcing them to resort TO arte-
sian wells. In Lawrence, Mercer and
adjoining Ohio counties farmers are
selling their stock because of the diff

the work of drilling new wells has
been SO greatly interfered with as to

LORD. HOW THEY LIED.

The facts are playing such havoc
with theories that we do not wonder
that the New York Tribune is in Il
condition of confusion over the tin
plate situation. Memories are pro-
verbally short. The events Of the
day slip in and out of our minds
and pass into oblivion. But the
protestations of the tin plate men
during the campaign of '92 were so
vociferoUs that if the tariff were
reduced from the two and two-tenths
cents a pound, at which Mckinley
had placed it, their mills must be
shut down, because they would be
utterly unable to compete with the
foreign product-their statements
were so loudly and emphatically
made that they must still linger in
the memories of many men.
Now comes John Jarrett, who
made his connection with labor or
CARNATIONS a stepping stone to
profitable connection with the man
ufacturerS, and is the secretary Of
their iron and steel. sheet aSsOcia-
ton, and announces that the Illinois
Steel company is going to put in the
largest tin plate factory in this coun-
try and, perhaps, in the world. Sew
eral Pittsburg firms are either in
creasing their plants or building
new ones, and another one is to be
constructed in Indiana. The result
Of this will put the output of our
domestic mills at about 100000 tons
yearly, which, Jarrett says, is
about the total of consumption in
this country.
And all this is being done in spite
of the fact that the tax has been
reduced to it's former status, and
that the tin plate men of this coun-
try now have no more protection
than they had prior to the Mckinley
act, making it apparent that the
production of tin plate in this coun-
try was possible under the tariff of
SO. Partially deprived of their OPP
portunity to rob, they adjust them
selves to their diminished capacity
for robbing, and proceed to enlarge
their plants without a blush for the
falsehoods with which they sought
to perpetuate the license to rob
given them in 1890.

THE MENACE OF SOCIALISM.

The Boston Herald, commenting
on the turbulence in France and
Germany, caused by the socialists
in the parliaments and the measures
to restrict them, says, what is as
true here, where the tendency is
strong, but the developments are
not as far advanced:
1t is this ineradicable vice of origin
which makes the socialist propaganda
the most dangerous foe to the develop
ment and progress of human liberty
The anarchy to which it inevitably
tends is the handmade of despotism
and the disturbance which it perpet-
ually eXcites is the standing excuse for
curbing the excuses of freedom. If
the French republic makes another his
toric failure to reconcile liberty with
order, if society for it's own preserva-
ton should once more welcome the ar
rival of the man on horseback, it will
be the socialist to whom the failure of
free institutions will be due. If all
that has been gained in Germany in
the last fOrty-five years for freedom of
speech and action, for human rights
and equality before the law of the
humblest with the highest, is to be
swept away in a wave of reactionary
conservatism, it will be because the
socialists have succeeded in making
the relentless vigor of the autocrat
more tolerable than a continuace of
their excuses.
