Grent Moral Monement.

1t was a beautiful spring day on the
Rialto and the soubrette and the low

joying the bright sushipe and making
mutual exchange of theatrical gossip,

the queen to the opening of the new royal
courts on the Strand.

The Tampa Tribune tells how Florida
farmer during the current year has made
s5i9 from two acres OF. land; and he will
make more from the land yet, be-
fore frost. He planted the two acres In
watermelons. and they brought him Sl69
After the melons were off he harvested
more than ten tons of hay, in two crops,
and there is a third crop now growing.
The hay, the Tribune says. is worth SIS
ton. 1t took very little trouble to make
either of the crops. The hardest work
the farmer had to do was to harvest the
products and sell them. Is there another

Representative-elect sparkman of Flor
ida, who is in Washington, says the peo-
pie of his state are too busy with their
farms and other private affairs to talk
politics, and that the recent assertion by
prominent politician, that the state is
solid for free silver. is not correct. Mr..
Sparkman might have added that, as
matter of fact. the people of Florida, with
the exception of the politicians. are much
more interested in the fight of the Cuban
insurgents than in the fight of the free
silverites. The Cuban affair has important
bearing on the price of tobacco

The accounts of the manner in which
the Chinese dispose of their unsuccessful
military and naval commanders shock
the English-speaking peoples of to-day.
When they read of the decapitation of an
unsuccessful Chinese commander. whose
only shortcoming was that he did not
whip the fight. they shudder and declare
the Chinese to be the most barbarous of
barbarians. History shows, however, that
the English treated their unsuccessful
commanders in a similar manner. In
May, 1885, Admiral Byng was sent to re-
lieve the British garrison at Port Mahon.

leagured by a French fleet Byng fought

Tendency Is to sound Money.
From the Monroe (Ga.) Advertiser Dem,

The silverites, and especially the leaders
of that movement, would have the masses
of the country believe that the sound
money demand of those democrats who
advocate true bimetallism means the ex-
clusion of silver; that it means gold mono
metallism. They charge this upon true
bimetallic democrats. We give them cred
it for thinking themselves honest in such
charge. But such charge is without foun-
dation and without evidence to sustain n
No democrat would exclude silver from
use as money. Every true binnetallic dem
ocrat will gladly welcome Silver dollars
as money of final payment when so coined
as to be maintained on par with gold
dollars as demanded in the national demo-
cratic platform.

Pensions and Vested Rights.
From the New orleans Picayune Dem.)

The contention of some of the G. A. r.
people that pensions are a vested right
and not a bounty, evidently inspired as
it Is by the fear lest some Bowler should
arise TO declare the pension laws uncon-
stitutional does not seem likely to lead
to much Commissioner Lochren says: "A
pension is simply bounty granted by an
act of congress. If it were a vested right
congress could not interfere with it in
any way. As a matter of fact the legisla-
tive power can modify or repeal the pen
sion laws whenever il sees fit. To consid-
er a pension as a vested right is absurd
The supreme court of the United States
has decided to the contrary three different
times.''

CURRENT COMMENT.
Recognition Cor Cuhnns.
From the Philadelphia Record Deml.

FROM the 1nlAduelpilld IN6COIU ND6ul.).
Upon the reassembling of congress it is
reported that Senator Call of Florida, will
introduce a resolution in favor of Cuban
independence being recognized by the
United States. Mr. Call takes great inter-
est in Cuban matters. He was largely in
strumental in forcing the Mora claim to
a settlement. If Mr.. Call shall really take
the step he,i is said to have in mind, he will
find many cordial supporters throughout
the country; for the impression that Cuba
has had quite enough of Spanish domina-
ton and Spanish domineering gains a
stronger hold upon us every day.

If anybody had predicted a year or so
ago that Senator David b. Hill would
ever have appeared in the capacity of the
friend of the Grace-Fairchild faction of
the New York democracy, the person
making the prediction would have been
suspected of incipient lunacy. Grace
and Fairchild were the leaders of the
famous "anti-snappers" and Senator
Hill was the moving spirit in the more
famous snap convention Yet at the
Syracuse convention day before yesterday
Senator Hill was the friend of the anti
snappers and the opponent of his former
Tammany colleagues. 1t is an extreme
ly wise man who can tell which way the

than 1900 horsepower, operating twin

construction of a crack racing yacht. In
trial run of three hours she made the
average speed of fraction more than 2gsi

to about 81 miles. That is greater than

The early SaXons who inhabited the
British Isles appear to have delighted in
a full beard of the long. forked variety
now peculiar to SaXony, Austria and
Southern Germany. With the Norman
conquerors it was different, says the ST.
Louis Republic. They had almost as great
a hatred for boards and hairs as have the
Chinese. Accordingly, they not only
shaved their chins but also the backs Of
their heads, almost up to the crown. Be
fore they had been long established in
England, however, a complete change in
their ideas of hirsute adornment took
place and 1t became fashionable among
them to wear boards of extravagant
length. Those who were by nature bless
ed with heavy eard-growths We're enyied
