1t is hard to discover any good founda-
ton for the rumors that have been rife
lately.of strained relations between this
country and Spain. The mem bers of the
Washington administration deny that
There is any change in the relations be-
tween the two countries. and it is under
stood that the President has no radical
recommendation to make in regard to
our attitude toward Cuba in his annual
message. The policy he has pursued all
along he is disposed to continue, unless
of course there is some decided change in
the situation. As regards the Spanish
government that seems as pacific in its
Intentions as our own. II is inoonceiva-
BILE that it would be guilty of thu stupen-
dous folly of involving Spain in war
with this country under existing cir
cunstances. That would surely. mean
the loss of Cuba and very likely the
Phillipine Islands as we'll. 1t has been
suggested that it might be less humiliat-
ing to Spanish pride to lose G uba as the
result Of wal with this country
than to part with 1t as the result of being
unable to conquer the rebels unaided,
and that for this reason Spain might
pick quarrel with MS. But this seems
very far fetched and improbable to the
degree of absurdity. Far more reason
able is the suggestion that the exaspera-
tlon of the hot headed Spanish popu-
iation against us for the aid that they
believe this country has given the re-
bells through flibusterinR expeditions
may compel the government to quarrel
with us in spite of its better judgment,
to save itself from overthrow. There is no
doubt that the Spanish people are very
much inoensed against us, and that to
the mass of them a war with tho United
States would be Welcome. They know
little of our power and resources. and
do not comprehend what tremendous
mistake they would be making in in
volving their nation in war with US.
Herein lies all the danger there is or
is likely to be of collision between the
two countries 1t is slight one, we
believe, but it is sufficient to Justify
the means which are now being taken
by our government to make our naval
vessels ready for an emer gency.

ready, and That something must be
done Immediately to supply the deticien-
cy. If the Dingley bill or some other
like measure should be passed this win
ter this deficiency would be provided for
and there would be no pressing necessity
for the new Congress to meet before the
regular session. We believe that if an
extra session can be avoided without al
lowing the revenues of the country to
continue to run behind it should be
avoided.
The Portland daily press., 1896-11-17

Whether the new Congress Ill be CALL
ed to meet In extra session soon after
Major MoKinley's Inauguration depends
largely upon the action of the existing
Congress at its session this winter. An
extra session, If called at all, will be
called to supply a deficiency in the rev.
enue. If our revenues were now equal
to our expenditures probably no one
would seriously recommend an extra ses-
sion. Even those who insist that the
tariff must be radically revised would
hardly claim that the emergency WAS so
pressing as to justify an extra session,
with the large expense it entails upon
tho country and the uun certainty it
brings to business. But it is felt on all
sides that the government has been left
without adequate revenue too long al

All the dou btful states are now settled
with the possible exception of Wyoming,
and there the probabilities are all in
favor of Bryan. Bryan gets one elector
in Kentucky, and Mckinley gets 10.
All four of South Dakota's electors go to
Bryan. Not counting Wyoming McKin-
ley will have 272 votes and Bryan 172. If
Wyoming goes for Mckinley he will
have 275 votes, If for Bryan the latter
will have l75 votes.

The extent to which gold was locked
up pending the election is illustrated
by the fact that last week, without any
considerable importation of the metal,
the gold reserve was increased by nearly
IS, 600. 600. 1t now stands at S123, 5O7.-
1885, which means that almost 50, 600, 600
has been added to the governments net
gold holdings since the election. The
gain would have been much larger had
the SubTreasury at New York bsen
able to handle the gold brought to it for
exchange into legal tenders. Not much
of the gain has come in that way but
through Assay Office checks paid through
the Clearing House. Gold is no longer
demanded on these checks, az it was be-
fore election, but they are allowed to
pass into the Sub-Treasury on balances.

without faults; sometimes there is a

also find in this little chaplet of melodies
real and gepuine talent, a sweet, tender

He wore a gray uniform. and the coat
had a long tail to it-a sure sign he was
an officer of some kind. for Jerd Pruett

officers in the village below. To be
sure there ought to have been some
kind of a mark on tn sleeves or shoul-
ders; but no matter about that; no.
body but officers could wear long-tailed
coats. That point was settled with
much argument.
And the buggy was new or had been
newly vanished, for the spokes shone
in the sun. and the sides of the body
glistened like glass. What of that?
Well. a good deal, you may be sure; for
some people can put two and two to-
gether as well as other people, and
the folks on the mountain hadn't
been living for nothing What

shiny tob-buggy meant only one thing
and that was a wedding.
