for free silver at Warrensburg, that State. 10 which the Senator of pitchfork fame replied that while he was in favor Of free silver, heis also in favor of bolting the National Democratic Convention, in the event it does not declare for free silver, and, therefore, in view of his position on that subject he declined to accept the invitation until they had time to reconsider it, and after due reflection, if they then desired him 10 address the Democrats of Missouri, he would comply with their request Dan Jones and Ben TiIlman are on the same platform, and are ready to join hands with the Populists to defeat the Demo- cratic party in the event its decla- rations of principles do not accord with their own. This is the "rule or ruin" policy that has resulted in'so many Democratic defeats in the past.

THE .SR4NISH 4RMYIN CUBA.

THE .SFANISH ARMY IN CUBd.
 A favorite disposition of the army by it's enemies is to speak of it as composed of boys, but that shows ignorance of war. It is never safe to aespise boys in any capacity, least of all in armies. On the bat tleield of Shiloh it was remarked of the dead when they were gathered for burial-it was true ofsthe boys in blue and gray alike-that hardly one in three was a bearded man, The boys, in the true sense of the word, were in a great majority The Spanish lads under arms in Cuba are sturdy, swarthy fellows, well fitted and equipped for the field, and many of them with kindly, friendly, humorous faces, and they trudge along well clothed and shod, with brown blankets rolled tightly and tied at the corners, swung over their shoulders; bags on their backs that seemed lighter than knapsacks, and equally serviceable, and their rifles and cartridges loading them heavily, but not more so than the Germans or French on march. The boys of whom l speak were fairly drilled, and though just land ed, had evidently been set up and put through their steps. They had the swing for long tramp. As a rule, the boys with the rifles were much younger than the officers, many of whom were stout.
 The Spanish army is not one to be despised, and however it may suffer from the ambuseades for which the tropical yegitation affords such emi- nent facilities, will make itself re- spected when they meet foes they can see. They cannot march as fast as raiders can ride, and will suffer from the overwhelming rains and deplorable roads, and sieken and die in thousands, but owing to the better understanding of sanitary precautions, the loss from exposure will not be so great as in former years. The marching to the front of the young men of Spain was a mournful spectacle. There are dark-eyed mothers, sisters and sweethearts thinking of them far away, who will wait and hope and pray for them and their safe return until the closing scenes, when the roll Of the unreturning is unrolled. l wish to speak with respect of the Spanish boys-poor fellows-the sons of poor parents-who never make the wars they fight-and I have seen the great armies of Ger many, France and America and ma ny of the troops of Italy and Eng land.-Murat Halstead in the April Review of Reviews.

 THROUGHOUT the present campaign Col Dan W. Jones has opposed in every speech a railway commission on the ground that it is unconstitu- tional. Now comes the Helena World, which charges that for sey- eral years Col. Jones has been the chief lobbyist in Little Beck of the railway corporations of the State On that point the World says:
 With the nerve and audacity which characterizes men of his class he is going about posing as the friend of the people and the enemy of corporate greed and power. Dan Jones has laid his plans veil. He has not pulled the wool over the eyes of quileless tenderfoot legisla- tors all these years to no purpose The very moment Jim HarrGd an- nouneed that he was in favor of 8 railroad commission the corporation which has always found a way to control legislatures and legislation Called upon tbS cHtel iOODYlSb to meet the situation. He has thrown himself into the breach, and with free silver at 16 to 1 as his shibbo- leth, he expects to fool the people into making him Governor Unfor- tunately Democratic leaders who have been busily inculcating the doctrine that Grover Cleveland is a scoundrel, free coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to the one and only test of party fealty, and disregard of party obligations a virtue, have played directly into the hands of this smooth lobbyist and helped to make his path straight. They have made it easier for the smile on his face and the lie on his lips to inn press his hearers with faith in his pretentions us a patriot and phil anthropist When designing dem agogues are on top dark days for the Democratic party are near at hand.

THE Arkansas Democrat truly

J says:
 The escape of nineteen eonvicts from the farm at Walnut Lake, be. !c., Pine Bluff, Bluff ought ought to stimulate the authorities to make better pro. vision for guarding convicts. It is no small matter to have nineteen desperate criminals roaming through the country, and the chances are some new crime will be perpetrated by the men who escap- ed. When conviets are leased out to be worked on a farm the author ities, who are primaril y responsible for their keeping, should see to it that ample means are provided for their security as well as comfort.

THREE Administrations, of Bal timore; Vaughan, of Westminster; and Logue, of Ireland;-haye ad- dressed an appeal to the people ol the United States and the British Empire to cooperate in a movement for the establishment of perma- nent tribunal of arbitration between the English-speaking races. It is q modest and acceptable contribution to subject which recent events have brought closely home to the people of civilized countries. An international board of arbitration would be a humane and honorable way of adjusting international dis putes, and would save much blood and treasure 10 all nations party to it. War is barbarous and de structive, and has no place in mod ern civilization and culture Men and nations do not fly al each oth- CTS throats as during the early stages of our development and civil ization. Men now seek justice in the courts, and nations should be compelled to resort to a fair and inn partial international tribunal for the settlement of differences. Then our race can reach the achme ot peace, civilization and prosperity. This address to the consciences of men and nations will no doubt have q very beneficial effect.
