The way that the Spaniards are play
ing at war with the United states is too
comical. The Londcn Standard has dis
patch from Madrid saying that the Duke
of Tetuan. Minister of Foreign Affairs
for Spain, recently prepared, with the
idea Of presenting 1t - the European
Powers, memorandum on the condition
OF affairs in Cuba and the relations be-
tween Spain and the United States in
connection with Cuba. The memorandum
called attention 10 the aid the Cuban
insurgents receive from the United States
despite the correct attitude It comedies
TO the Government at Washington. and
suggested that the European Powers as
sist Spain in bringing amicable pressure to
bear upon the United States to force her
TO produce "a stricter neutrality. The dis
patch adds that subsequently 10 the pre-
paiation Of the document and before II
was sent out an interview took place
between the American Minister and the
Duke Of Tetuan. the result OF which was
that the Duke decided not 10 issue the
memorandum at present. We must say

Mr. Bryan's speech at Madison Square
Garden is nuently written. but IL is
throughout an apology rather than d
clarion call. He Is more inclined 10 am
pity on what the Chicago platform. in

plain what II is. He cannot dispute
that the platform Is a new departure for
the Democratic party, nor can he fur
nish adequate justification for its incon-
sistency when compared with the tradi-
tonal policy OF the party. His isolated
extracts from utterances Of statesmen
who are dead and gone are not accom-

conditions since their day may have made
their dictum inapplicable 10 the existing

Teach Children Self Reliance.

A baby should be early taught self
reliance and how to shun danger. When
it begins to crawl, it quite understan DIS
a firm mo, no." and will generally
mind it. A child kept always in arms
and never laid down to stretch itself
will be very slow to stand or walk.
Very often children and years old
cannot be trusted near fight of stairs,
while younger ones can go up and down
safely because they have been shown
how. If taught to turn round when they
approach the stairs and slide themselves
down from step to step, or how to
Chamber up on hands and knees, there
will be hardly any accidents.
The development Of babies is often
hindered by want of self control in
those about them, for courage or cow
ardice may be taught by example. If a
mother shows nervousness when her
child begins to walk alone, it speedily
becomes timid, and perhaps gives up
the attempt for some time. If baby is
excessively sympathized with and pitied
when it meets with trifing bump, it
will cry and fret. but when the hurt is
really trif1ing it should be exhorted not
to mind and not to cry and very soon
learns the lesson.

Boston Herald: Since the District Of

it wise to deal leniently with Miss Flag
Ter for her offense of fatally shooting
the colored boy whom she caught steal
ing fruit in her fathers garden, it would
have been better to have found some way
to dispense with the farce of sentencing
her to jail for three hours. The descrip-
ton of her appearance during that time
shows that it was nothing more than So
cial call on the jail keeper. Sentences
like this for such an offence are bad
enough, and the manner in which the
penalty in this case was administered
makes it nothing less than mockery of

SAN DIEGO SUN: Somehow, and sur
prisingly SO, the scheme of the Cleve-
land, Ohio, postmaster for recouping the
gold reserve by covering into it the gold
receipts of all frat and second class
postof6ces, does not pan out we'll when
reduced to figures. The postmaster
general had the figures made, based of
course on the receipts of 1895. The re-
port says: "The total amount of gold
received psr annum from all first and
second class offices is given as $685.
376, and per month, S340, 546. The gross
receipts of all classes of money from all
offices in the various states per annum
aggregate $75, 800, 700, aud the gold re-
ceipts are estimated at $7,113,53 So
the receipts in gold coin are only about
one-tenth of the total receipts. and the
total of the gold receipts will not go far
toward keeping up a reserve of hun
dred million. The average guesser
would have said the gold receipts were
much larger. Now the conclusion to
draw from the statement is that gold, on
the average, does not circulate so &C
lively as generally believed, and OF
course it shows that gold alone will no:
be sufficient to serve the people as q cur
rency or medium of exchange.

Easter, but she has laid an egg, and she
is proud of the fact-just as proud as if
she was the only hen in Iowa that had
done such thing instead of being one
of a million or more hens that had just
done the same thing. If all their cackles
could have been uttered at one time
and from one place, a shrieking roar
would have been produced that would
have been heard in Boston and in San
