When Spain suppresses the Cuban re-
bellion, if she ever does, she will find
herself with a war debt Of not less than
5000, 900, 900 on her hands and no means
of paying it except to squeeze it out Of
the impoverished, unhappy island she has
once more Frustrated. Cubans undoubt-
eddy wish now that their beautiful island
had rebelled against Spain and declared
it's Independence in 1910, when the other
Spanish-American provinces did so.
But Cuba remained loyal to Spain
through all the years from 1910 to 1892
and prided herself on it. The Spaniards
called her in consequence the "Ever
Faithful ISLE" AS a reward for her
fidelity, however, Spain began system
attic course of taxation which almost
sapped the very lifeblood of Cuba. This
oppression and injustice are what keeps
Cuba in a state Of chronic disturbance,
which will never be quieted permanent
ly until either the island is free or Spain
relaxes her iron grip and governs justly.

Changes In the British Ministry.

When h British cabinet resigns and
the queen invites the head of the oppo-
site political party to form new cabi-
net, it is the same as if in America the
governmental policy should suddenly
change from Democratic to Republican
or vice versa. The British are accus-
toned to hold up their government to
Americans as being much more. stable
than ours. It runs along firmly and
smoothly without the commissions Of
such frequent general elections, they
say.
The truth is that the real government
of England changes much more often
than that of the United States does,
though the British do not make so much
fuss over the matter as we do. In the
past so years the United States has had
Is presidential elections. These have,
however, involved a radical change Of
policy from Democrat to Wing and from
Republican to Democrat or otherwise
only seven times in the years since 1914.
Going back half a century in British
politics, we find the Liberals have been
in power six times The Conservatives
have been in power, counting the min
istry lust formed, seven different times.
Against our seven changes Of govern
ment policy therefore the British, with
their so called stable government, count
up IS.
When an American president, as
sometimes happens, finds himself by a
congressional election in the middle Of
his term stranded high and dry without
any congress at his back, he can only
rub along the best he can till his term
If Office expires. If he were the so called
sovereign of England, no matter what
his political views were, when his cab
met found that congress would not pass
the bills the administration desired, he
would be obliged to accept the resigna-
ton of his secretaries and form cabi-
net of those who held opposing political
views. It will thus be seen that the
queen of England has less political
power than our president.
In one respect the queen Of England
has, however, more power than the pres
ident. When parliament will no longer
respond to the British cabinet by voting
in accordance with it's views, the prime
minister may advise the queen to dis
solve the parliament and order a new
election which she does accordingly
This the American president cannot do,
although he undoubtedly wishes he
could sometimes

The Irish representatives in the Brit

Only for the fatal split into Parnellites
and McCarthyites, and the antagonism
that could not be stifed in matters even
the most vital, the Liberal government
would now be in power and home rule

She charged that he got drunk contin-

the family. The state Of affairs that
came to light on examination of the
husband is enough to make mans hair
stand on end.
"What have you to say to your wife's

To Keen Cool.

For four years St. Louis and Denver
have been keeping cool by currents Of
anhydrous liquid ammonia that flow
through mains as gas and water do and
refrigerate food, air and people, if they
desire it, in hotels, markets and private
houses. Like most new ideas, this took
root in the west first. The present sum-
mer the system has been adopted by cot
tagers and hotel keepers at Atlantic
City.
It is tolerably certain that ice will be
supplanted as a cooler before many
years, either by anhydrous liquid am
monia or by a new preparation known
as carbon dioxide. It is produced by
calcining limestone with the coke of
soft coal. It is gas as first formed, but
can be compressed and iquefed Then
the plan is to pass it also through un-
derground pipes from central plant to
houses, hotels, meatshops and any 9TH
er place where it is wanted.
The carbon dioxide may be sprayed di
rectly upon meat which it is desired to
refrigerate. It is said to sour milk, how
ever. And when the temperature is boil
ing hot outside it is expected to be able
by either one Of these methods to cheat
old father sun out of his innings and
depress the mercury to any desired point
indoors.

The Pilgrims Progress.

l.
A little more than two hundred
years ago there died in England a man
noted for piety, for firm yet orderly
resistance to ecclesiastical tyranny,
and as a leader of his sect. That he is
remembered now is not due to these
things, but to the fact that he wrote a
book called ''The Pilgrims Progress. y
The historian Macaulay pays him this
tribute: ''Bred a tinker, and after
wards soldier, his education was that
OF a mechanic. He knew no language
but the English as spoken by common
people. He had studied no model of
composition but the English transla-
ton of the Bible. His spelling was
bad. He frequently broke the rules of
grammar. For more than a century,
the Pilgrims Progress, though trans
lated into several foreign tongues, was
known only to cotters and artisans.
At length critics inquired where lay
the secret of SO wide and durable a
popularity. and were compelled to own
the despised book as really a master
piece. Bunyan is as decidedly the
first of allegorists as Demosthenes is
the first of orators, or Shakespeare the
the first of poets. Other allegorists
have shown equal ingenuity, but no
other allegorist has been able to touch
the heart, and make distractions OBJ
jects of terror, pity and love-" Bun
vans book deals with a spiritual pill
grim, but we are also pilgrims in a
material sense. In our travels through
this world we can generally make it
easier for ourselves, as we'll as get to
our destinations more quickly, by TAX
ing the main travelled road, which, in

The Farmers Institute at the State
Fair promises to be a drawing card
this year. The fact of having the
product of every department on the
grounds to illustrate the work makes a
feature in farmers Institutes that
every progressive farmer takes an
interest in seeing.
DR.. Curryer, Asst Supt., Mankato,
says the tented city is rapidly filling
up, and this fact alone shows that our
our State fair is on the eve of becom-
ing what it should be. viz: the annual
gathering of the best of our products
as an exhibition of what we can do
and learn from such exhibition, and
the method of it production. Every
locality in the State should send a few
of it's most progressive farmers to the
State fair this year for what can be
seen and learned through this insti-
tute, besides it will be an encourage
ment for all our future State fairs in
this work. AS long as there is tent
room it should be taken advantage OF
for best results
Every farmer attending the State
fair should call at Farmers Institute
''headquarters'' and leave his name
and address to aid farmers institute
work in his locality hereafter.

GENERAL MARKET NEWS


Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
NEW YORK, July 25-The exaggerated
reports Of crop damage in the west which
We're apparently borne out by the violent
advance of wheat yesterday. had its effect
on London this morning, and the London
arbtrage brokers were moderate sellers
of nearly all the stocks traded in in both
markets. The sentiment here, however, was
rather bullish, and the room traders were
almost a unit in their efforts to mark up
prices. This feeling was due to the fine
showing made by the Pennsylvania rail-
road for both its eastern and western lines,
and the Unexpectedly large increase in the
net earnings of the Central Railroad of
New Jersey for the same period. The bond
market acted particularly well, being
strong and active for nearly all issues. and
notably so for the Atchison and North
Paciflc's.
The announcement that difficulties In the
way Of payment of dividend or Chicago Gas
had been removed seemed to be the signal
for realization of sales by the people who
have been instrumental in advan cling The
stock from 80 up and 1t was weak and
lacked support from the opening.
In the granger shares there was a rever-
sal Of sentiment, owing to the reassuring
dispatches received from the west to the
condition of the crops, and decline in the
price of wheat. The continued weakness
of Chicago Gas. however, held the balance
of the market In check and created a fea FL
ing of uneasiness all along the line.
Foreign exchange continues very strong
| without. however, quotable change in rates.
Leading drawers do not expect any change
in the situation for some weeks to come,
owing to the scarcity of commercial and
grain bills, and the low rates prevailing for

winter wheat is exerting a direct effect
upon the exchange market, as old stocks
are pretty well cleared up and the price Of
wheat is held above the foreign limit
