The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1896-11-25

In the light of recent information by
cable from Madrid, criticisms of Capt Gen.
Weyler's sorry showing in his Pinar del
Rio campaign should be tempered with
kindness. 1t appears that the general has
enough on his mind to almost unsettle it.
Besides being tormented by the insurgents,
and the various political squables in Spain
and Havana, he is distracted with domes-
tic troubles. His wife is dangerously i'll
at Barcelona, his eldest son is at the point
of death from consumption in Spain, and
several of his little children are staying
with friends in Spain because there is no
home for them to go to. He has one or
two children with him in Cuba When he
is away from Havana they must be left in
the care Of servants. Under such circum-
stances it would indeed be difficult for a
man, even a soldier of blood and iron, to
conduct brilliant campaigns.
The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1896-11-25

The Spaniards in Havana are very mucn
displeased with the United States. They
cannot understand why it is that Presi-
dent Cleveland doesn't have all those in
this country who are engaged in assist
ing the Cuban insurgents, or who sym
pathize with the insurgents, shot, or at
least imprisoned. They are talking of
crushing Uncle Sam" Some of them
held a meeting recently and came to the
conclusion that with 100000 Uncle Sam"
could e-crushed easily.
They seem to think that Florida is about
all there is of the United States, and,
therefore, they are considering the advisa-
bility of raising an army of 100000 volun-
teers ito conquer Florida" Probably
Gov. Mitchell of that state has heard of
this movement, and that is why he has
called a convention to talk over the advis-
ability of fortifying the Florida coast.
There is no good reason why Gov.
Mitchell should be alarmed. Although his
campaign against Corbett and Mitchell
was not entirely successful we have no
doubt that his militia could easily repel
any force of Havana volunteers that
might effect a landing upon the coast of
the Land of Flowers.
If the Spaniards in Havana are so war
like they should turn their attention to
the insurgents. 1t would be better for
them to use their 100000 volunteers in
crushing Gomez and Maceo than to tackle
Uncle Sam. Gen. Weyler would be glad
of their assistance. He does not seem
to be making much Roadway.
Uncle Sam would not be unhappy If the
Spaniards in Havana should make an al
tempt to crush him. He seems to be
anxious for fight. An opportunity to
resist being crushed would be particularly
gratifying to him. His regard for his OBJ
legation to friendly nation is all that
has thus far prevented him from Offering
the hot heads of Havana an opportunity
to crush him. If they had the oppor-
tunity they would do a great deal less
talking.

Eminent Jewish divines are spiritedly
discussing the question of whether Satur-
day or Sunday should be observed as the
Sabbath by the Jewish people which was
revived last week in the national conven-
ton of Jewish women. Rabbi Hirsch of
Chicago. probably the leading rabbi of the
west, declares that the seventh day ira
dition of the race is swallowed up In the
necessity of adapting the religion to the
customs of the country in which it may
be transplanted. Men cannot do as men
did centuries ago in Judea," says he; this
is America. and Judea must be Ameri-
can" Leaving out all religious considera-
tons. there is something attractive about
the view OF Rabbi Hirsch.

Cabinet Making.

The Washington correspondents and the
small fry politicians are interesting them
selves in the work Of making a cabinet
for Mr.. Mckinley. Some of them are just
as serious as If they were actually en-
trusted with the work. Unfortunately
they change their minds every few days,
and therefore the public has begun to lose
confidence in the information which they
impart with as much solemnity as if it
were reliable.
AS a matter of fact they don't know
anything about Mr.. McKinleys intentions
in respect to his cabinet. They don't even
know whether or not Mr.. Mckinley has
yet seriously entered upon the work Of
selecting a cabinet. The chances are he
has not. He has more than three months
in which to choose his political advisers,
and there are excellent reasons why he
should not be in a hurry to select them.
GIr. Mark Hanna has occupied more
space in the newspapers as a cabinet
possibility than any other man. He has
been assigned to about every place in
the cabinet, though the great majority
of those who regard themselves as being
specially commissioned to make up the
cabinet assign him to the position Of Sec
rotary of the Treasury. Mr.. Hanna has
been quoted a number of times as saying
that he does not desire any office and
does not intend to accept one under Mr..
McKinley's administration. He ought to
be much better posted about the matter
than the correspondents and the small fry
politicians.
1t would be a relief to newspaper read
ers If the newspapers would drop the sub
ject of Mr.. McKinley's cabinet until such
time as definite information in respect to
it is obtainable. Mr.. Mckinley does not
know, in fact nobody knows, who will
be asked to take a place in the cabinet,
and nobody is likely to know, outside of
Mr.. McKinley's confidential advisers, who
will be at the head of the different de-
partments until somewhere about March.
What is the use therefore of filling the
newspapers with assertions that this or
that man will occupy place in the cabi-
net? The people are tired Of them, chiefly
becauses they know they have no founda-
ton in truth. If they were satisfied with
guesses they could themselves do all the
guessing they desired.

The Confectionery Narrow Escape


Maj. Andrew of Maine registered at the
Bingham house one day last week and
was Immediately visited by a number of
his Grand Army friends in this city. The
company held an impromptu Campfire"
in the cafe, and passed the evening in
swapping yarns. The major, who is a
very big man, commended that 1t was only
the big fellows like he that amounted to
anything during the war. The others, who
were all rather small men, called atten-
ton to the short stature of Phil Sheridan.
Pooh! Phil Sheridan said the major;
that brings me to the incident 1 was
but Sheridan's great ride would not have
been possible but for my aid. You see,
when the retreat began from Cedar creek
1 was taking a much needed rest in a
farm house at the rear of our lines. The
noise of the routed army aroused me- and
l ran out in my pajamas. The road was
choked with soldiers, but l rushed in
among them, shouting Turn back you
cowards.' Then l threw them right and
left, making a broad path, through which
Sheridan, who happened along few mo-
ments after rode to the front. Pretty
soon the yelling Johnnies came in sight
Did stop? Not bit Of it. dashed into
the Johnnies and hurled them in all d.
rections. threw them over my head up
into the trees and over fences. Finally
the confederate officers came out of the
woods, and one of them, pale with fear,
cried to me: For Gods sake, Andrew, let
up Well then ! let up, but II 1 hadn't
I'd gone clean through the confederacy."

The Alabama legislature has developed
a crank who wishes the state to adopt a
law against women wearing boomers,
shirt waists and "all articles of dress
commonly worn by men at This time" 1t
may be the fellow wishes to get the job of
censor of female costumes. If the Ala
bama legislature were to take any action
upon the matter of dress, it would do much
better to pass an act repeating all legisla-
ton governing dress that may be on the
statute books. and follow this with joint
resolution declaring it to be the sense of
the people of Alabama, expressed by their
representatives in general assembly, that
people wear whatever they please, so long
as they wear enough of it.

''Well, she was all right in some lines,
but very weak in others. She could ham
die the pathos all right and she was very

sentiment. Her love scenes were the worst

Her what?' demanded the playwright,
as If he found it difficult to believe his

-'Her love scenes. She didn't know the
first thing about making love"
The playwright laughed long and loud.

repeated at last. "And she's now trying
to get divorce from her eighth husband.

Let the Tariff Alone.

| Senator Cullom of Illinois, in an inter
view in Washington the other day, Is
| quoted as having said; 81 have never
been able to comprehend how the bust
ness interests have been able to stand
this constant changing from one policy
to another, and as a matter of fact, they
could not stand it in any other country
on the earth"
Holding such an opinion, why is 1t that
he insists upon radically changing the
present tariff? Is it because there are
numerous complaints of it, or is it simply
because he wants high protective tariff
such as has always been advocated by
his party? If he wants another tariff SIM
ply that the tariff ideas of his party may
be adopted, then there is no sense in the
remarks quoted from the interview with
him. If he and other republicans pur-
pose to change the tariff whenever their
party gets into power he cannot complain
if the democrats insist upon having their
tariff views adopted whenever they get
into power.
If, however, he wants the tariff radically
changed because he thinks there
is great dissatisfaction with the
present tariff he ought to point
out wherein the present tariff
is not satisfactory. A few days ago Sena-
tor Aldrich of Rhode Island, a republican.
said that the present textile schedule is
the most satisfactory the country has
ever had. He spoke for the manufacture
ers of cotton and woollen goods. Sena-
tor Cameron of Pennsylvania, another re-
said the iron and steel schedule is ap,
proved by the iron and steel manufactur.
ers. They don't want it changed.
1t seems that in these two great
schedules no changes are desired. 1t is
quite safe to say that there is very little
Then, why make an entirely new tariff
on lines in harmony with the republican
doctrine of high protection?
1t is true that more revenue is needed,
but not a great deal more. A dollar a
barrel on beer or a small tax on sugar
needed. But if the necessary additional
revenue should be raised in that way it
might be said that the country is pros
pering under a democratic tariff. That
would not be satisfactory to the republI-
can leaders.
So it seems that the republican party
would rather jeopardize the business in
terests than permit the country to pros
per under democratic tariff.

Topeka, Kan, has the unenviable dis
tinction Of being a city full of deserted
wives. 1t is said, upon the authority of
an officer Of a charitable association, that
there are not less than four hundred de-
serted wives in the city-that is, women
legally or otherwise separated from their
husbands-and the divorce mills are still
grinding out their grlst Many Of these
deserted or ex-wives are dependent upon
charity for the sustenance of themselves
and their children. Topeka is a city OF
not more than 5000 population. hence the
burden is somewhat heavy upon those
who give in charity.

Enough of Theories.
From the washington Post Qnd.).

That the present tariff needs some
amendment is universally conceded. II
fails to produce adequate revenues, and
,in some schedules it is inadequately pro-
tective. But with all its faults it is less
unsatisfactory than was the law which it
superseded. We think the lessons of tho
last four years should have admonished
the tariff extremists on both sides that
the country has had enough of their the
cries and prescriptions.
