scription is $4,000, so that if every cent
subscribed is collected there will still be a
shortage of $4,000

THE CUBAN GOVERNMENTAL.

In referring to the court-martial pro-
ceedings in Havana, condemning the
two American citizens taken of the
schooner Competitor TO be shot, the New
York Herald says that the Spanish Gov
eminent will do we'll to hear and heed
the Timely and justly proper protest OF
Secretary of State Olney against such
action. The findings of the court-mar-
tial was a. traversity ION justice, and
If the authorities in Spain think the
American people are going to permit he
execution OF the two men whom they
have condemned they are greatly mis-
taken. The Madrid Government can
not repeal the Virginia's affair and es-
cape It's results. In that memorable
case Secretary Fish, by order OF Presi-
dent Grant, cabled thd following de-
cisvG dispatch 10 Minister Sickles:
I'm case of refusal of satisfactory re-
paration twithin twelve days from this
date YOU will at the expiration OF that
time close your legation, and will, to-
gether with your secretary, leave Ma
drid. bringing with YOU the archives OF
the legation. You may leave the printed
documents constituting ithe library In
charge of the legation OF some friendly
power which you may select. who will
take charge of them"
II Secretary Olney's demand that the
pr!scksers be accorded n trial by civil
process is denied there is no doubt but,
that similar order TO that issued by
| General Grant in the Virginia case will
| be given the American Minister in Spain,
| and in such an event the result can
easily be foretold.

WILL RE.ENACT THE McKISLEY-
TARIFF Law.

A gentlemen from Canton. o., n neigh
N'r of Major Mckinley, and who pre-
tends TO speak by Inspiration, tells the
Chicago News that Immediately after
Mckinley Is elected-that is, IL he Is
elected iPresident-he will assemble Con-
igress in extra session and cause 1t to
re-enact the MCKINLEY tariff law In dts
entirety, and that the following winter
he will persuade Congress to modify The
law thus re-enacted in such details as
his wisdom may have found 10 be faulty.
This is assurance for you, and if it
was not known before, it shows what
manner of man Major MCKINLEY Us.
When he gets there he proposes 10 run
the business to suit himself"
But how about the people who have
once declared overwhelmingly against
THE robber TARIFF" and how about Con-
gressR Does anyone believe that he can
run that to suit himself? There Is no
doubt that Major Mckinley would like
to do all these things. hut what job
he has before him, to be sure.

AMERICAN WIVES FOR FOREIG y
ARlSTOCRATS.

The London Woman has been indulg-
custom of foreign aristocrats marrying
American girls, and their reflection Is
no more to the satisfaction of the
| English women of manageable age
| than 10 the credit of the, American
girls who sometimes turn out TO be
the victims Of their own folly.
The London Woman argues that the
practice is entirely to the disadvantage
of the manageable English maiden,
who. despite her charms. is left to n
life of single bleI:sedness, while the
American girl is taken in preference be-
cause of the dollars which goes with her
giving. This may be coarse way of
putting it, but disguise it as you may,
ii Is after all the true deduction. But
If the English marriag eable women have
cause for grievance in this regard, what
OF she marriageable young men of
American birth and education? Time
was when the American young man of
good birth and education, and of prop
er character was regarded as the most
desirable suitor In the matrimonial
market. but in these days OF glitter and
glare such is no longer the case on the
part of many of the rich and influential
parents and their manageable daugh-
tiers. With them there is no lon
