Spnin's Minister Calls Attention to
Fiyibustering Expeditions.

WASHINGTON, June e.-Mr. De Lone
tie Spanish minister TO the UDl;ed states,
has called the attention of the State Depart
ment to Allegations that flibusierinS cxpe-
ditions against Spanish authority in CuJa
are being fitted out in the bayous OF the
lower Mississippi river. The communication
also states that armed citizens of some OF
the Southern States often paraded witi
arms. with view. to joining some OF those
outgoing expeditions, or at least TO give
active announcement TO the Cuban insur-
rectionis,s. Some of the statements made
covered facts OF which tne United States
government can take official notice, and
others were too meager for present official
action. 1t is believed ct the department
that there is little truth in the reports which
reach here from the South of the fitting out
Of warlike expeditions against Cuba, but
should il be shown that expeditions are be-
ing organized which come within the prohi-
bitions of international law and our treaties
with Spain there will be no delay in bring
ing the parties concerned to justice.
1t is learned that the Spanish officials here
are keeping a close watch on several sup
posed expedltionary movements for the pur-
pose of furnishing information on which to
request action by the United States gov
ernment. One of the expeditions Is believed
to have started from Philadelphia. The sus-
pected ships, it is said at the spanish iega-
ton. are the George Childs and the Bridge;

phia, with the ostensible purpose of max
ing repairs, but really. 1t is. charged. to
take on arms gunpowder and large supplies
OF food suitable for an expeditionary move
ment The Spanish officials connect the
movement of these ships with suspicious op-
erations at Dauphin and Cat islands, OF
the mouth of the Mississippi. There are
indications. they say, that the movements
at gulf points and those starting from Phila-
delphia will be concentrated of the coast
OF southern Florida. 1t is said that these
movements are mainly the result of the re-
cent arrival in the United States Of General
Quesada from Venezuela, who brought a
considerable sum of money to aid the Cuban
cause. and another syrNpa thixsr who is SAID
to have brought $4,000 from Paris.

Mckinley and Wilson Lava
The comparative figures of the reve-
nue. collected under the Mckinley law,
between October, 1890, and September.
1894, and revenues raised under theWil-
son act during the past eight months
are highly instructive They indicate
the disaster which came 70 the country
as the result of the Wilson variety of
tariff reform" and whose effects are
still discernible on all hands. despite
the natural improvement which has
followed with relief from panic and the
choice of a protectionist house Of rep
resentatives.
The Mckinley law, purely in reve-
nue. way, supplied the government
with liberal revenue which was sufii-
cient, along with other revenue, TO
meet all demands upon the treasury.
The Mckinley law was enacted chiefly
for the purpose Of reducing the tariff
revenue which, prior to October. 1890,
was piling up big surplus in the
treasury annually. The revenue re-
duction effected by the Mckinley law
amounted TO over fifty million dollars
annually. But while wiping out most
Of the annual surplus, it did not make
the revenues deficient
The Wilson law. however, has been
deficiency ever since il was placed on
the statute book. The revenues OF the
government not being sufficient to
meet the demands on the treasury, the
funds in the treasury, even including
the gold reserve, have been trenched
upon for the purpose of meeting the
current deficiency. Indeed. under the
Wilson law for eight months, the
monthly revenue has not averaged as
much a month as during the awful
thirteen months Of panic, disaster and
depression following the meeting Of
the democratic congress in the summer
of 1893.
iHorder tomeet the deficiency caused
by democratic tariff agitation and leg
:aiat:css, bond issues were T5soT ted to,
causing an increase in the public debt
and the annual interest charge. 1t
was insufficient revenue, far more than
any question regarding Uncle Sans
ability 10 maintain the equality of the
various kinds OF dollars which he had
put in circulation, which diminished
the treasury's gold reserve repeatedly
during the past two years. The Will
son net is still deficiency act Every
monthly statement Of the treasury
shows an increase in the public debt,
or, to put it in other words, shows de-
crease in the resources Of the treasury.
The Mckinley law was an act for
sufficient revenue and n small surplus;
the Wilson law an act for insufficient
revenue and n big deficiency.
Purely from the revenue and treas
ury standpoint, the Wilson law was a
most expensive piece of reform" for

Wages Not Yet Up TO the McKinicy
standard.

standard.
IL Is plain that the republican tri-
umph is at last having all the steady
ing and encouraging influences which
were predicted, but 1t Is wise not to
our expectations to too high pitch.
IL is well that we should remember
that the advance In the pay of opera
tives in the cotton mills OF Fall River
and New Bedford takes place in an i'm
dustry which was probably the least
injuriously affected by the new demo-
cratic tariff legislation. Indeed, the
cotton schedules of the German law
were violently assailed in congress as a
wicked surrender 60 the manufactur
ers. Other interests did not run the
tariff-smashing gauntlet and get Off so
easily. and increased wages In them
have been conspicnously few and far
between. But, nevertheless, those adj
vances in Fall River and New Bedford
are pleasant omens of easier and better
times in two important communities,
at any rate, and as such they are
worthy of congratulation and rejoicing.
There is reason TO expect that they
may be followed by similar movements
in other cities MS the weeks go on. Our
trade cannot be forever benumbed, our
industries PROSTATE. Recovery sooner
or later Is inevitable, and the absolute
elimination of all fear Of further tinls-
ering with the tariff is mighty factor
TO hasten it, Manufacturers aud mer-
chants now know the worst
So an occasional announcement Of an
advance In pay In this or that town or
this or that factory during the coming
summer and fall can be very confident
ly anticipated. Having more money 10
spend, the working people will nat
urally increase their purchases, and
trade of nll kinds ought thereby 10 inn
prove throughout New England. But
IL is well 20 be careful not TO hold out
any exaggerated or delusiyc hopes. II
cannot reasonably be expected that we
shall Immediately regain the remnrla-
bic prosperity which characterized the
full ascendency OF the idea that its
enemies have cdntemptuously styled
'McKinlcyism. During that era, IL was
a matter of official record that the vol
ume of both foreign and domestic trade
was greater, employment more album
dant, and wages higher In our country
than ever before In the history Of any
nation on this planet. II Is n signih-
can't fact that recent increases In pay
have not fully restored the Mckinley
standard. Wages are better than they
were six months ago, but they are far
yet from the high tide mark ASHAMED
before is09's disastrous elections. --Bos-

SLEEP AND INSOMNIA.
It IL Great " onder That We sleep as

Much as We DO.
Sleep Is greater mystery than in
somnia. We hear much of the latter
state In these days. But it is more
wonderful that we sleep so we'll than
that we are occasionally walxeful. We
hear more Of slecplessness than our
forefathers did. II is a remarkable
fact that in scarcely any of the older
recognized textbooks of practice Of
physic is there any formal notice of
insomnia per Sc. In later works, and
especially In those devoted 70 treat
mcnt, the subject OF insomnia does re-
ceive considerable attention. And ev-
cry now and again the sleeplessness OF
great man In the world OF science or
ia that OF politics reminds us that emf
hence has its troubles, and of sort
which seldom affect the poor man. IL
Is probable that this evil OF wakeful-
ness Is more common than II used 20
be. The excitements, and especially
the worries, Of life multiply. Many OF
the arrangements Of society nre OF a
nature 10 drive away sleep Even the
very pleasures of life are so taken by
many as 60 rob them Of one OF the
greatest pleasures of allan eight
hours sound sleep; for we maintain
that this is what everybody should aim
at. IL may seem long time 10 spend

the other two-thirds are used well
there Is little cause for blame. No rule
for oil can be laid down: but il would

tensive days in which we live 20 devote
eight hours TO the cultivation Of the
mood and act Of sleep, and to resist the
domination of all habits and fashions
that are inconsistent with this purpose.
