How Have the Mighty Fallen.

1t is easy to understand how a man
may change his opinion upon matters
o! public policy when circumstances
upon which it is based change, but
how Secretary Carlisle can have been
sincere in his denunciation of the de-
monetization Of silver in 1873, and ex-
cuse that gigantic crime" in 1895,
when the results that were then in a
large degree a matter of prediction
have overtaken us, and be honest, is
beyond mortal ken. He called the
act by the proper term" a conspir-
acy," and predicted just wha, is now
occurring, when he declared it would
entail more misery upon the human
race than all the wars, pestilences and
famines that have ever occurred in
the history OF the world" 1t is i'm
possible for him to dodge the record.
If he was sincere then, and his words
ring with truth and candor, he is de-
ceiver now. If he spoke from the
heart then, he talks from the lips now,
and there can be but one motive for
the change-to be on what he re-
CARDS as the winning side in the con-
test which will soon come.
Let us hope that his estimate OF
American character and manhood is
at fault, and that upon clear cut is
sue at the ballot-box, the people will
vindicate their title to freemen's
rights.
Here is Mr.. Carlisle in 1878:
81 know that the worlds stock of the
precious metals is none too large, and I
see no reason to appyehend that it lciN erer
become so. Mankind will be fortunate in
deed, if the annual production of gold
and silver coin shall keep pace with the
annual increase of population, commerce
and industry. According to my views of
the subject, THE CONSPIRACY which
seems to have been formed here and in
+ lrope, to destroy by legislation and
otherwise, from three-sevenths to one
half of the metallic money OF the world
is THE MOST GIGANTIC CRIME OF THIS OR
ANY OTHER AGE. The contamination of
such scheme would ultimately entail
more misery upon the human race than all
tile Gears, pestilences and .tamines, that
erer occurred in the history Of the acorld.
The absolute and instantaneous destruc-
ton of half the entire movable property
of the world, including houses, ships,
railroads and all other appliances for
carrying on commerce, while it would be
felt more sensibly at the moment, would
not produce anything like the prolonged
distress and disorganization of society
that must inevitably result from the per.
manent humiliation of one-half the me-
tallic money Of the world"

Texas Will Not Allow the Fight.

1t took special session of the legis-
lature of Texas to keep the rowdy ele-
ment from dominating the State, in
the contemplated mill between Cor
bett and Fitzsimmonds, near Dallas,
the latter part of this month. The
executive possessed, however, the
true Jacksonion spirit, and declared
that, "By the Eternal" no such bru.
tai exhibition should desecrate the
soil OF his State, snd the result shows
what frmness and resolution will do.
Here is the concluding portion OF his
vigorous message:
"All persons have beel given notice
that the Embellishments exhibition
would not he permitted, and whatever
has been done by its projectors was with
q full knowledge of the consequences.
Public interests require that this exhibi.
ton especially should be suppressed.
Discountenanced by Mexico and the
Territories, outlawed and driven from
every State, it is proposed to assemble
here herd of ruffians and gamblers and
offer in this State this commanding in
suit to public decency. The instincts
and pride of the people revolt, and your
prompt and resOlute action will spare
them this ignominy and shame"
His recommendation was that prize
fighting be made felony with heavy
penalty. The response from the law
makers on the 1st inst, the day OF as
semblage, was not full, and the friends
of the administration greatly feared
that the two-thirds majority necessary
to adopt the emergency clause would
not be present. The wires were EN-.
ployed, however, in transmission of ur-
gent appeals, with splendid results.
Wednesday the Senate passed the act
by vote of q 10 l, and the House ITO
to s. The whole transaction did not
consume three hours time, and by it
not only the Corbett-Fitzsimmon fight
on the 3lst, is impossible as arranged,
but prize-fghtiug is forever prohibited
in Texas.
The contest has resulted in a great
victory for Gov. Culbertson. It was
undoubtedly the hottest political fight
over waged by one man in the history
of the Lone Star State.

Cuban Independence.

1t seems but natural that there
should have sprung up in this country
profound sympathy for the efforts oil
the Cubans TO effect their independ
ence. Their proximity to us and the
persistent efforts they have made to
escape from the oppression of the
parental government, Spain, enlists
the profoundest sympathy. They are
our next door neighbors, and from the
time OF the acquisition of Florida our
government has felt deep interest
in the prosperous little isle. While
there has at times been developed a
spirit for the acquisition OF a country
rich in many valuable resources, the
Washington government has kept
down fillibus:ering enterprises as we'll
as acted the part of mediator in SPANS
frequent controversies with England
and France, in which desire for pos
session was manifested, and both ma
tions were warned by Uncle Sam to
keep their hands off the island. In
184S, President Polk made an offer
OF $l00,OO0,0OO for Cuba, which was
refused by Spain. The succeeding
year Lopez and other Cubans, repre-
senting the creole population, were
obliged to leave the island. They
came to this country and fitted out an
expedition for aggressive measures
which was promptly suppressed by
the United States. Soon afterwards
Lopez succeeded in getting away
from New Orleans, by steamer, with
800 recruits. Their efforts were,
however, abortive. All were taken
prisoners and Lopez executed. In 1852
this country refused to join with
France and Great Britain in guaran-
teeing to Spain the possession Of Cuba,
and from that time Spain has shown
her dislike for our government, and
the late firing upon an American mer-
chairman by Spanish man-of-war is
but an incident in the long line OF acts
which show deep-seated hostility to
this government.
Our people owe Spain no love. She
has missed no opportunity for showing
a malevolent spirit, and it will always
remain green in the memory that she
recognized the Southern Confederacy
within ninety days after the flag was
fired upon in the harbor of Charleston.
1t does seem that the time has come
when q small part of the old score may
be wiped out by merited retaliation.
If the United States would simply
recognize the Cubans as belligerents,
it is believed that her independence
would soon follow.
Senator Call, Of Florida, lately de-
clared that if this was done, fifty
thousand men. including some OF the
brightest and most ambitious in the
nation, would leave these shores at
once to join the Cuban army; ships
would be purchased and equipped for
service, and Spain would have to
yield"

The Poor Horse.

The constant reader of the Oregonian
Is afforded many surprises 10 perusal
OF its expressions of editorial opinion.
The latest OF them is its estimate of
that noble animal, the horse. OF all
the brute creation, probably, no ami.
NAL has been assigned higher place
in the heart Of mankind. In this the
hester of western journalism differs
radically and aggressively. He has
utterly no word of extenuation for
"man's truest and best friend" He
declares that "outside OF his utility,
the horse is the most overrated thing
in civilization. When his utility has
been taken away by invention, we
shall see how falsely he has been re.
garded. With all his uncleanness,
savsgeness and stupidity, he is moth
ing but dirty, vicious beast, fl for
wild men, but not for the abode of hui
manity and cleanliness. With in
finite toll, pains and trouble, man has
taken from him the desert and forest
and partially tanned him. But he is a
relic OF barbarism. The civilization OF
the future will have no place for
him."
If this sentiment obtains in the
Webfoot State, it is no wonder that
the effort has been made at Linnton, O
Portland suburb, to convert this
vicious, unclean beast" into "salt
horse" for export to our neighbors be.
yOnd the sea. But is it true that the
horse is so unclean, savage and stupid?
1t does not require the keen satire Of
Swift, in his "Voyage TO the Houy-
hnhnms," in which the vices, not to
say indecencies, of humanity, as rep
resented by the Yahoos, are brought
into startling contrast with the vir-
tues of the inhabitants of the horse
kingdom consisting of the horses
themselves, to convince an impartial
mind OF that injustice. While the
grossness of the characteristics attrib-
uted to humanity by the Dean shock
the reader, there can be but one opin-
ion among unprecedented minds, and
that 10 That they have q groundwork
to stand upon. and while the COM
mendable nature of the horse, it is ad-
mitted, are equally exaggerated, there
is enough margin presented to justify
the regard felt by most people for an
animal which is by no means Gun
clean" is only savage" in the wild
state and seldom stupid" The pre-
vailing trait Of the horse is affection
for his master, his docility under the
exacting duties required of him, and
the intelligence frequently manifested
in the discharge of them. So marked
has been this characteristic that the
assertion has often been made when
commenting upon the rare intelli-
gence at times displayed by the brute,
that one OF the most difficult things to
determine is, "where instinct ends
aud reason begins" Innumerable
facts could be related Illustrative OF
the sagacity Of the horse, to sustain
this position, but nearly everybody
can give testimony based upon per-
sonal observation. Very few of these
are likely to change their estimate Of
the noble animal from what the ga.
want of the great paper may say on the
subject.

Is THE END CoMING?-A Paris spe.
cial to the New York Herald, dated on
the 30th ult., predicts a terrestrial
smash-up, soon as the Faye comet,
now coming with fearful velocity
towards the Earlh's orbit, arrives. It
says: A special telegram from Kiel
observatory announces that the ap-
proach OF the comet OF Faye had been
discovered by Professor Jsvelle, OF the
Nice observatory. Without taking an
alarmist view Of affairs it may be we'll
to point out the theory so graphically
