Events in Spain indicate that the Presi-
dent. in delaying action on the Cuban bel
Igerency resolutions adopted by congress,
is pursuing a wise course The result of
the recent election in Spain is the cause
of great dissatisfaction among a very
large portion of the Spanish people. The
most unblushing frauds were committed.
The government could have had even a
more complete victory than it obtained,
because the managers of the elections had
no hesitation in returning as many con-
servatives as the government desired. OF
the s31 deputies $50 are conservatives. This
number includes 80 from Cuba.
Naturally there is a very strong senti-
ment against the government, and this
sentiment is certain to crop out as soon as
the Cortes meets. The popular desire is of
course that Spain shall succeed in sup
pressing the insurgents in Cuba, but
strong as this desire is it is not strong
enough to smother the feeling of the
people against the government for resort
ing to ballot box frauds to secure a large
support in the Cortes.
With such a spirit of resentment against
the government as exists there is no tell
ing what the republicans viii do. They oc-
cupy a strong position. The burdens being
placed upon the people by the war in Cuba
are heavy. The republicans may conclude
they would rather have a republic at home
with lighter taxes than a corrupt govern
ment and continued control of Cuba.
A revolution at this time might be sue
cessful. The republicans are angry at be-
ing so outrageously cheated at the polls
and the greater part of the army is away
in Cuba. While nothing can be said with
certainty as to how events are likely tC
shape themselves in Spain, it is apparent
that there is enough in the situation there
to make it wise for the President to &C
slowly in dealing with the Cuban bellig-
erency resolutions.

All of n Piece.

We do not know whether or not our
readers took particular notice of the Mis-
sissppi levee bond case that was decid-
ed by the United States supreme court a
day or two ago. but if they did not they
ought to look it up and note it's bearing
upon the existing contention in behalf of
free silver coinage. The levee bonds were
issued sometime in the 7O's. The principal
of them was made payable in gold and the
interest in lawful money" Payment of
the bonds was refused on the ground
that they were void, because the legisla-
ture had no right to authorize them to
be paid in gold, gold at the time the bonds
were authorized being more valuable than
other money thus placing heavier bur
dens upon the people. The supreme court
of the state sustained this view of the
matter, and an appeal was taken to the
United States supreme court, which trib-
unal quite emphatically said the bonds
were valid, that the legislature had a right
to make the contract it did and that the
initial court must render judgment for
the amount of the bonds
Attention is called particularly to this
case because it is a Mississippi case
where pretty nearly everybody seems to
be in favor of the free coinage of silver
that is, nearly all the debtors. Doubtless
they think they see a chance of paying
their debts at the rate of fifty cents on
the dollar Probably, judging from this
levee bond case in which an effort was
made to avoid paying the bonds. if a mon
etary scheme was proposed by which
the debtors of that state could settle
their debts legally a one cent on the dol
lar it would be warmly welcomed. The
poison of Reputation that got into the
veins of Mississippi many years ago seems
to have remained there.

There is one point in Mr.. duBignon-s
address that will not fail 10 receive es-
peeial attention lie ignores the word
free in connection with the demand for
the coinage Of silver at the ratio Of 10 10
l. Specifically. free coinage means merely
that coinage shall be without charge for
the minting. That is quite a small mat
ter, which the silver mine-Owners would
be more than willing TO forego for the
sake OF having their silver coined into
legal tender dollars containing only fifty
one cents worth of silver each. The basis
Of the silverites' contention is for unlim-
tied coinage at the ratio of 16 to ],
and they use the word free"
principally as a bait for the unwary.
Free" 10 some people. invariably con-
veys the idea of something that is to be
had for nothing. As a matter of fact,
the producers of silver bullion are the
only people who would get something for
nothing out Of an unlimited 16 to coin
age law. In so far as the masses are con-
eerned, such law would force them 10
give up something for nothing.

Mr.. Hanna should See to 1t.

Mr. Mark Hanna, Gov McKinleys man
ager, does not appear to be making any
effort to placate the American Protec-
tive Association. That association is max
ing open war on Gov. Mckinley. 1t has
issued a circular from headquarters, in
which it charges him with various Of
fenses the chief of them being that as
governor of Ohio, he refused to appoint
American Protective Association men to
office, although they were capable and
well recommended, but preferred Irish
Catholics.
Evidently Mr.. Hanna doesn't regard the
American Protective Association as hav-
ing great deal of voting strength, or if
he does he believes it is better politics to
disregard its threats. thinking that if he
were to attempt to satisfy it he would
in1ure Gov. McKinley's chances more than
he would improve them.
1t is possible, of course, that the charges
brought against Gov. Mckinley are I'M
founded-that they could be easily and
satisfactorily explained, but no explana-
ton is sought apparently. and as the
American Protective Association is a Sc
cret organization, it is a rather difficult
matter to open communication with it.
There is no doubt that the organization
is quite an influential one in some of the
states. and if it continues hostile to Gov.
Mckinley it will exert considerable influ-
ence in the direction of preventing his
nomination. and also his election if he
should be nominated.

The announcement that a few silver
leaders In Washington and elsewhere have
undertaken 10 say who shall be delegates
from this state TO the Chicago convention
is not complimentary 10 the democracy Of
Georgia. 20 say the least OF IT, Senator
Jones or Arkansas is quoted as saying that
lie and Senators Harris and Turpie. Mr..
Heinrichsen Of Illinois and Mr. Cosey
Young OF Tennessee have formed them
selves into a committee TO see that no
weakened silverite delegates are chosen
delegates from Georgia or any other state.
and that they have already fixed upon the
men who are TO be delegates at large from
Georgia. The Georgians they have chosen
are Hon Patrick Walsh. Senator Bacon.
Mr.. Crisp and AIr. Clark Howell.
1t seems 10 US that they are counting the
chickens before they are Matched. It's not
by any means certain that the democratic
convention of Georgia will select as dele
gates at large the foregoing gentlemen or
any one Of them, however highly esteemed
they may be. The democrats Of this state
are entirely able to manage their own po-
liucal affairs without any outside help. 1t
may be taken for granted that they will
choose men 10 represent them who are not
likely to make a political blunder. Two Of
these four gentlemen tried for weeks TO
induce the counties TO make a choice OF a
candidate for senator at the June primary
and the other two uttered no word Of pro-
test. They left no means untried TO ac-
complish that object. They were told that
they were forcing the party into dangerous
waters, and that a continuance Of their
course would likely result in wrecking it,
They didn't seem 20 care as much about
the welfare Of the party as they did TO ac-
compish the object they had in view.
Finally the governor and the chairman Of
the democratic state committee came for
ward and pointed out the peril into which
the party was being led. and the efforts to
have a senatorial candidate chosen at the
June primary have practically ceased.
These men who We're leading the party
into danger are the ones whom Senator
Jones Of Arkansas and his little coterie Of
managers have selected to represent the
Georgia democrats in the national conven-
ton. We are inclined to think that the
democrats of Georgia will resent such in
reference. and inform Messrs. Jones, Har-
ris, Young, ct ais, that they are stiu able
to manage their own affairs.

+. HOpkinsOn Smith. who comes very
near being a universal genius, says the
Chicago Times-Herald, has closed his plat
form season, having appeared fifty even

four months. He aims TO paint almost
forty Water-colors during each trip, and
these readily sell at prices ranging from
$3.50 TO 500 each. He usually sails in July
and returns in November, and then de-
votes a couple of months TO literary work.

several short magazine articles, lectured
fifty evenings in TWO months, besides re-
Vising and proof-reading his latest book,

The Rev DR.. X, occupying charge in
a New England church, announced some
time ago that the regular weekly prayer
meeting would be devoted to discussion
of a certain question of general interest
to the congregation. Many members Of
the church wished to take part in the
discussion; it was, therefore, decided to
limit each members remarks to five min
utes. When the speakers time expired
the clergyman was to notify him by rap
ping with a pencil on the desk. Deacon
A, VIGOROUSLY long-winded speaker and
exhorter. was one of the members at
whom the restriction was specially di-
reeted. AS everybody anticipated. the
deacon was one of the first to address the
meeting, and he had not fairly started
on his remarks when the rap of the pen
Gil was heard.
Am 1 to understand" asked the dea-
con, turning TO DR. X, that my five
minutes have expired?"
Yes, deacon, l am sorry, but your
time is up"
And all general remarks are limited to
five minutes?"
Yes; that was the understanding"
The deacon turned very deliberately to
his fellow members. Then brethren"
he proceeded, Il shall throw the remand
er of my remarks into the form of :
prayer"
