New YORK, Dec. 4.-The World
says today: The portions OF Pres
ident Cleveland's message that re.
terred to the Cuban question evok-
ed Lively comment YESTERDAY at the
headquarters of the revolutionary
junta in this city. Delegate Extra
dra Palma objected to the presi-
dents describing American SYM
pathy with the Cubans as senti-
mental. Mr.. Palma felt that the
presidents views on the Cuban
question were possibly influenced
by the Spanish minister to Wash
ington and by the United States
consul general at Havana. "Mr.
Cleveland's neutrality is all we
can hope for" he continued, land
we are thankful that he did not
see fit to bring up the precedent Of
Gen. Grants position and utter
ances."
Mr.. Palma added that the hopes
of the Cubans everywhere GEN.
tered upon the favorable action of
the new American congress.
Horatio Rubens, counsel for the
Cuban party, considered the presi-
dents attitude as not only SYM
pathetic but as indicating that he
realizes the Importance of the in
surrection and is ready to act in
the matter when the proper mo.
ment arrived in the manner most
favorable to the Cuban cause.

ANTI-sEMITIsM IN AUSTRIA

DIR. Lueger and Prince LiechtensteIn,
The eminent jew balters, have struck
out a new line. They are holding

Monday night mustered some 1900,
principally OF the small bourgeois class.
The laborlng Glasses were hardly repre-
ssnted at all. DR.. Lueger was recelveu
with prolonged enthusiasm, the women
klsslng his hands and even the hens Of
his coat. The crush was such ~ to
render accidents Inevitable, and the
police consequently dissolved the meet
ing, amid loud protests. On leaving
the Prater the crowd marched along
the main street leading 20 the inner
town, shouting, "Hurrah for Lueger
Down with the JewsW They insulted
the unlucky Jews whom they happened

any field he may choose to enter.
Surely his supersensltiveness OF his
government to critinisms, couched in
perfectly respectful and general
Language, tends to lower instead Of Ia

dignity. From that point of view alone
we might, perhaps, venture to hope
for some relaxation Of that prosecuting
zeal which at present eats up the Ger.

promoting everything that 1t most
deprecates and breads.

AonfoULrcaB AND PROTECTION

Delegations Of farm owners and ten
ants continue to walt on the English
ministry aod demand protection.
According TO the latest London Times:
The minister for agriculture on
Wednesday addressed n large meeting
AZ Sudbury Suffolk. He was first pres.
ented With q Joint address from TIRE
sudbury Conservative Mems Club and
the Conservative Association Of the
sudbury Division Of Suffolk, express .
Ing hope that the government might
pass such remedial measures, ~ would
prevent landlords from being driven
from their homes, would save tenants
from losing their all. would bring
about more work and better wages for
laborers. Mr.. Long said that, even II
the country we're agreed about protec-
ton or bimetallsm, long time would
elarse before their effects could be felt.
The government considered that II
would be better, instead Of introducing
heroic measures, TO have recourse for
the present to such things as readjust-
ment OF local taxation, an increase Of
facilities for moving what was grown
upon the land TO the nearest markets,
and the opening Of the new districts
by q wise aud just scheme of light
railways. If the government failed to
relieve agricultural depression they
would fail, not because they wanted
the will bat because they wanted the
power.

BLAINE ON BIMsTALLIsM.

James @. Blaine said In congress ON
February z, 1878:
"On the much-vexed and long
mooted question az TO a bimetAllIo or

are sufficiently indicated In the 70.
marks 1 have made. 1 believe the
struggle now going on In this country
and other countries for single gold
standard would, If successful. produce
widespread disaster In aud throughout
the commercial world.
"rhe destruction Of sllvor az money
and establishing gold as the sole unit Of
value must have ruinous effect on all
foraAs Of property except those invest
ments which yield a fixed return In
money. These would be enormously y
enhanced In value and would gain n
dlsproportlonate and unfair advantage
over other species OF property. II, a.
the most reliable stAtlstlcs afilrm, there
are nearly $1,000, ,OOO. 900 OF coin or bull

Again he said;

the money OF the American paople,
anterior TO the constitution, which the

Independent OF It's existence. No
