The belief in good and bad spirits, their
actual commingling with men, as their
allies and servants, has prevailed all over
the world and formed integral parts of
the religious belief in all ages. The Chal-
deans practiced the various arts of magic

STOPPING OVER.

Somebody was sure to take an
early opportunity, after the assem-
bling of congress, to slop over on the
Cuban question. 1t might as well be
Senator Call as Senator Lodge, or
anybody else. Mr.. Calls resolution
provides for the recognition of
state of war in Cuba. 1t recognizes
the insurgent government as an in
dependent nation, possessing all the
rights of such according to inter
national law. That is the only feat
ure of it that deserves consideration
at all; the idiotic proposition to an
mex all the islands adjacent to our
coast being a bit of buncombe un-
worthy Of any public attention. Mr..
Call and the others who are on this
side of the question have not, we take
it, ascertained the views of intelli-
gent men among the revolutionary
party in Cuba on the subject of rec
ognition. There is abundant reason
to suppose that they prefer the pres
ent status. The recognition of an
insurgent party as belligerents by a
foreign government looks well on
paper and has an impressive sound.
But in the operation of plain, ev-
ery-day affairs it may be a much
greater disadvantage. than gain.
Where the insurgents, as in this
case, do not have possession of any
harbor or city on the seacoast, the
cession to them of belligerent rights
is a doubtful blessing. 1t entities
Spain, for example, to declare i'm
mediately all the ports of the island
to be in state of blockade, and
would cut off avenues of communica-
ton between the Cuban rebels and
their sympathizers which are now
open. The gain to Cuba by such
action on the part of the United
States is purely sentimental 1t
would give to the revolutionists a
title and nothing more. AS far as
their actual struggle for liberty is
concerned, it is doubtless better for
them to remain as they are, unrec-
ognized, than to receive the compli-
ment of recognition as a belligerent
power, carrying with it no substan-
tial assistance, but involving some
sacrifice. The jingos who are shout
ing for the adoption of such a reso-
luton by our congress have in view
their own Importance and the mag
nifying of their own glory. They are
perfectly willing to sacrifice Cuban
interests to an empty sentiment and
vain Imagination.

APPEAL TO THE RED CROSS.
Formally Requested to Undertake
Relief Work in Turkey.

BOSTON, Mass, Dec. 5.-A special
meeting of the prudential commit
tee of the American board was held
this afternoon for the purpose of re-
questing the Red Cross society, of
which Clara Barton, of Washington,
is president, to undertake relief
work in Turkey as an international
organization. A formal request was
adopted and will be forwarded to
Miss Barton at once. 1t is believed
by those advocating the step that
the organization, being international
in its character, is the one which
can successfully administer AmeTi-
cas- relief contributions in Turkey.
A relief ship under its auspices will
be allowed to enter where the fears
of the Turkish government would al
low no European WarShip to go. The
Red Cross treaty in itself recognizes
only relief in war; yet America, in
making up its own national body,
asked of the International head the
power to work in great national and
international calamities, the same as
in war, and the privilege was grant
ed. Thus America has. by every
privilege, the right to act in such a
state of affairs as now exists in Tur-
key, and European countries, if they
wish, can distribute their relief
the United States Red Cross
organization. The fact that Turkey
belongs to the Red Cross organiza-
ton will favor its supervision of the
relief work in the Turkish empire.

ON A DUCKIMG TRIP.
President Cleveland OF on a
Shooting Expedition.

President Cleveland OF on a
Shooting Expedition.
WASHINGTON, Dec. s. The
president left Washington tonight on
the lighthouse tender Maple to recu-
perate from the strain he has been
under in the preparation of his mes
sage to congress. He is bound on a
hunting trip through the North Car
olina sounds. With him were DR..
O'Reilly, Commander George F.
Wilde, naval secretary of the light
house board, and Commander Ben
jamin p. Lamberton, in charge of
the lighthouse district, comprising
the sounds. The little vessel was well
provisioned, and it is likely that if
the weather is fair the president
will not return to Washington be-
fore the 18th or 14th of the month.
The Maple was headed for the
mouth of the Chesapeake bay just
about dusk, and the trip began with
cloudy northwest and rather raw
and biting wind, that is commonly
regarded as the best possible weather
for water fowl in this section. I'm
less it is deemed well to lie up in
the lower Potomac over night, on the
chance of picking up some ducks
there, the Maple should arrive at
Norfolk tomorrow forenoon. There
she will enter the Chesapeake and
Ablemar canal, and pass through
the upper end of the system of
sounds which extend from Virginia
clear down to Wilmington, N. c.
Reports received by the president
indicate that the ducks and geese
have appeared in these waters in
large numbers on their flight south
ward before the winter gales. and
it is hoped that the trip will be even
more successful than that under
taken last spring in the same wat
ers, when most of the fowl had al
ready started northward. All of the
presidents companions have made
this trip before in his company, and
are consequently well acquainted
with the best shooting grounds. 1t
is expected that the cruise will eX-
tend as far south as Washington, N.
c., though most of the time the
party will be further up the sounds,
not far from Roanoke island.
Just before the closing of the office
of the county court two citations were
obtained for the examination of the
debtors. The petitions were filed by the
Chicago Varnish company, and Victor,
Achelis & Co.. of New York. Judge
Yates issued the citations and made
them reiturnabla Saturday morning. In
the circuit and superior courts the in
solvent company was the subject of
five attachment suits, all for small
amounts. The plaintiffs are the Amer
lean Screw company, the Hanson &
Van Wrinkle company, the Yale &
Towne Manufacturing company, the
firm of Schultz & Hirsch, and Heath,
Wilber &. Co.

MORTON HITS HARD,
But He Does Not Hit Quite Hard
Enough.

To the Editor of the Globe.
Noticing the article in this weeks
paper, entitled Morton Hits Hard"
must say that he does not hit hard
enough, according to my ideas. 1 will
net support any party any more un-
der any platform short Of entire free
trade, and the support of the national
government by direct taxation. And
there are too many thousands in the
Democratic party of the same stump
to make it possible for it TO succeed
on any other. 1 cannot act with any
party for victory without principle.
Though a party with correct principles
were forever in the minority, it will
have my vote so long as 1 am able
to carry one.
The Wilson bill itself was not ac-
cording to the Democratic platform,
and I can't see as there was any effort
to act according to it. When my
party does not make all reasonable
effort to carry out its platform
principles, I shall hesitate, if not aban-
don, voting altogether.
I wrote the above before reading
your comments on the subject. If Mr.
Morton means that silver would event
ually be discarded, 1 do not see that
that need be; but if bar gold and sill
yer are relatively S2 to 1, why not
make the coins to agree with the sit
uation? Why insist on making it 16
to under all circumstances?
The fact of the matter is, as it seems
to me, that either free trade or a rev
enue tariff is too honest a thing for
congress There is more money in
making laws for interested parties. At
present, having no party, 1 am NO vot-
er. 1t amuses me to hear the Growing
over a party whose folly or corrup-
ton has cut off it's right arm. I hope
you can and will publish this letter,
however you may feel disposed to-
wards the cause. "A Subscriber.

ROME, Dec. 5.-A dispatch from
Constantinople dated today says that
Said Pasha, president of the Turkish
council of state and formerly grand
vizier, has taken refuge in the Brit
ish embassy there, believing him
self not only to be in danger of ar
rest, but fearing for his life Only
recently Said Pasha was mentioned
as likely to be reappointed grand
vizier, and when matters reached a
crisis last week he was called on to
use his influence with the British
ambassador at Co1stantinople, Sir
Philip Currie, to have the British
gunboat Dryad ordered away from
the Dardanelles. Although not sue
cessful Immediately, Said Pasha sue
ceeded in getting Sir Philip to once
more refer the matter to his govern
ment, with the result that the Dryad
was sent to Salonica bay.

AT THE THEATERS.

Mrs. Musgrave's comedy farce "Ouff
Flat" is funny, in fact, very funny,
although in the hands of less clever
people than those to whom the parts
have been entrusted the play might,
lose the quick wit and delicate humor
which marked its presentation at the
Metropolitan last night. Reginald Syl-
vester and his charming wife Mar
gerry strive to keep up appearances, in,
a fiat after her father has disoWned
her for marrying a poor penny-a-liner
who cannot get his manuscript accept
ed Is lsEs
Creditors in the shape of trades peo-,
pie, dressmakers, and even furniture
on the installment plan agents swoop
down upon them until the fair wife,
driven to desperation, resolves to
write a comedy based upon happen
ings in her everyday life. The thing
is a go, and brings finally the where
withal to defray all expenses and wins
over the hard-hearted father. Mar
gery's younger sister Lucy follows her
example, and weds the man she loves,
Clarence Vane, an unsuccessful actor,
and is also forgiven in the last act.
The plot permits innumerable ludi-
crous situations and mistaken identi-
ties, and the whole thing is well done.
Miss Bancker is bright, Vivacious,
and has withal manner which car
ries you along with her through all
her ill-luck and subsequent good for
tune. The scene when the furniture
men leave the reception room bare of
furniture, and she improvises wash
,-Ie /, oc-lyn nfc hof
clothes horses, and even an individual
bathtub, into furnishings to favorably
impress the theatrical manager to
whom she hopes to sell her comedy,
is at once unique and ridiculously
comical.
George w. Parsons as Reginald Syl-
vester, the husband, gave a clever,
consistent Interpretation of the un-
fortunate, whose chief thought is to
avoid bill collectors and avoid being
huGniliated by the servants.
The character part was taken by
William Vaudeville, who plays the
verbose self-important theater man
ager He has improved the part very
much since the play was last seen here
and his work with Miss Bancker in
the travesties on grand opera and a
scene from Pineros' play, '"The Profit
gate,'' was side-splitting and was re-
warded with hearty applause.
Miss Anita Verno made a. distinct hit
as Bella, the maid, and played and
looked the part as well as was expect
ed.
The part of Nine. Volant, a brum-
magem French dressmaker, whose real
name is Jane Brown, was played
by Miss Channez Olney, who was
piquant, importunate and apologize
by turns and possessed of a good
patois. The other parts We're well
taken, that of Vane, the actor, played
by Phillip Ryley, being especially wor-
thy of comment.
The play will remain at the theater
until Saturday, with a matinee.

committee were adopted
Two ordinances were passed grant
ing leases of land on the West side
levee to two manufacturing concerns,
the st. Croix Lumber company and
George Foley, manufacturer of ce-
ment and pressed brick. One ordi-
nance grants Mr.. Foley a lease of a
tract of land about one-quarter of a
mile above the high bridge, the lease
to expire July l, 1896. One of the con-
ditions of the grant is that Mr.. Fo-
ley shall employ monthly average of
twenty-five men and maintain four
kilns.
The other ordinance grants the St.
Croix Lumber company, which man
ufactures doors, sash and blinds, q
lease for the same period of land east
of the west end of the Robert street
bridge. The conditions Of this grant
are that the lessee shall construct a
two-story building 40 by 12O feet in di-
menSion, and an engine and boiler
room 80 by 40 feet. The company must
employ a monthly average of thirty
men.

The ordinance granting the fire des-
patch the right to run it's vehicles over
the streets at a rate of speed to eX-
ceed six miles per hour and to sound
gong, was amended by striking out
the clause referring to the rate of
speed. The ordinance, as then passed,
simply permits the fire despatch to
sound gong.
Ordinance No. 10 and the amended
ordinance reducing the minimum fine
for drunkenness to 81 were referred to
the committee on streets.
The resolution amending the speciil-
cations for the proposed lease of the

year lease, instead of lease for two
years, was adopted by a vote of to

reading the narrative of the prophecy
and it's fulfillment. Taken together,
the warning of the one and the
lamentation of the other, we have
ample confirmation of the soundness
of the attitude of those earlier Re-

also find in them full warrant for the
policy of the present administration,
to be ratified and adopted by the
next national convention, of a speedy
abandonment of the policy of issu-

LONDON, Dec. 5.-The Times to-

Constantinople which says that the
embassies have received instructions
from their respective governments
that the guardships question must
be pushed home, and that it is i'm

The Daily News has a dispatch from
Constantinople to the effect that the
