THE CnINCIL TO MEET.

Madrid. December ia meeting or
the Cabinet Council has been fixed for
Tuesday. this being the first meeting
of the Cabinet since President Cleve-
lands message was transmitted to Con-
gress. on account of the illness Of Senior
Canovas, the premier.
According to some of the Spanish
newspapers the question will be raised
at this Council of the expediency OF a
confidential note TO the ambassadors
of the powers here in Madrid in regard
to President Cleveland's message. The
cabinet ministers themselves. howey-
er, maintain an absolute reserve on this
subject. and therefore any newspaper
statements on the subject are prema-
ture
Reports are current here that the
question has been raised of calling at
tention to the prejudice caused to the
interests of Spain by defects in Amer
lean legislation, in that, despite the
good faith Of the Washington govern
ment. sixty-fOUr flibustering eXpedi-
tions organized in the United States
have landed in Cuba, without whose
aid the Cubans could not have con-
tinued the war.
Notwithstanding the currency Of
these reports, it can be authOritatively
stated that nothing has yet been decid-
ed, and it is believed in some quarters
that the Cabinet Ministers will post
pone taking any resolutions on the
subject of President Cleveland's mes
sage.

power of the farm products to command

power of the farm products to command
money in the markets.
Mr.. Powers, of the Minnesota bureau
of labor, has shown that the cash re-
ceips of farmers at the farm prices
of crops in 1895 were less by $750,000,-
600 than the receipts from their crops
for 1891. Mr.. Edward Atkinson ac-
cepts these figures, which is pretty GER
tain evidence that they are indisputa-
BILE. 1t can thus be estimated that the
receipts for the years 1898 and 1894
were less by a much larger amount.
Impair the purchasing power of one
half the population to. the extent Of
more than two thousand millions in
three years and the result is bound to
be disastrous to at least two-thirds of
the rest of the population. We are glad
it is plain to some of the eastern gold
brethren now. Indeed, The Providence
Journal practically admits every con-
tention of the bimetalists when it says
that the inability of the farmers and
those dependent on them to buy is the
real cause of the depression in our
manufacturing industry during the last
few years. There cannot be any posi-
BILE difference between the Journal and
free coinage advocates except as to the
real cause Of low prices of farm pro-
ducts; but we are firmly convinced that
during the next four years that cause
will demonstrate itself, just as the real
cause of the business depression has
done.
Mr.. Atkinson says that we cannot
have a restoration of prosperity until
the purchasing power of one-half the
population is restored This is the sim
pie truth. The question then arises, by
what means do the Republicans pro
pose to restore this lost purchasing
power? What remedy do they intend
to apply to the evil which, during the
past three years, has taken S2,OOO,OOO,-
GOO out of the pockets of the farmers,
and. consequently, out of trade and
business? Here is a question that far
overshadows the tariff.

the late campaign. points out some per-
-inent facts i'm the.connection with re-
gard to- the vote of Indiana. The Her
aid points out that there We're, ac-
cording to- the census Of Indiana in
1890 $3.50 males over the age of p
i'm that state. OF these 51S7 were
aliens who had not the right to vote,
which left 499S79 possible legal voters.
The vote cast at the late election
amounted TO 6372S4. The State has in
creased in population since that time,
but. assuming that every man in it
eligible to the suffrage voted. it seems
almost incredible that the vote could
reach that amount. Yet, if we place
the voting i'm the states of Illinois and
Ohio i'm comparison with the census Of
1890. the result seems less strange, un-
less we assume fraudulent voting in all
these States. The excess of the vote in
Illinois over the census Of those Of vot-
ing age and other qualification in 1890
was s7I63. that in Ohio, 33,664. The
Herald takes the case of its own State
of Massachusetts by way Of contrast.
There" SAYS our contemporary, of
course the contest was nothing like so
hot. but most Of us remember pretty
lively voting. Here the number OF
voters who voted, compared with those
who were apparently authorized to
vote by the census of 1890, was less to
the amount Of 10O.567 There are cur

A few days ago the Register publish
cd an article in regard to a bill intro
duced in the Alabama Legislature to
reeuIate womeu's skirts and day or
TWO later another item regarding an
other proposed measure in the same
body. which. if passed, would legalize
murder i'm certain cases.
It appears chat Representative Pitts
has introduced bill providing that in
the trial of man for killing another
proof of the victims intimacy with fe-
male relative of the slayer shall be ac-
cepted by the jury as a justification
for extenuation Of the crime. The lin
it of the justification shall be the third
degree of kinship.
Mr. Pitts defends his bill on the
ground that the law is now nullihed by
The mwuIingness of juries TO convict
i'm cases involving the dishonor of wo-
men. and by providing a legal basis for
acQwual i'm such cases there will be no
notification of the law in the verdicts.
Tn other words. his bill is intended to
put the law i'm line with public senti-
ment in the State, which invariably
controls Che action of juries.
There can be no question of the fact
upon which the Pitts bin is based. Not
only I'm Alabama. but throughout the
Omitted States. the decisions of juries
i'm murder cases are affected by the
consideration OF grievances in which
women are involved In many States
the proof that tine killing was commit
ted i'm defense of the sanctity of the
home or i'm resentment for an injury
afectiug the honor of a female relative
assures acQuittaI Public sentiment
sanctions such killings and the law is
of no effect
But because the law is of no effect
I'm these particular cases should the
State TO obviate one evil fly to a greater
and uuuity tine whole purpose of law
and the foundation of law by yielding
to citizens the right OF public redress
of injuries by death under certain cir
crms,ancese Shall it make the citi-
zen i'm a particular class of wrongs the
Judge and executiouer of this offender?
The aim of social progress is to raise
public sentiment TO % high standard of
Justice and seIf-restraint but the effect
of this proposed law would be to lower
the standard of Justice and law to the
level of am imperfect public sentiment.
If the law cannot control it may edu-
cate public opinion. Tt is highly prob
able also tina, law of this kind would
be utilized to- cover crimes committed
from other motives and its practical
effect would te to- legalize foul muir
Jers.
There can hardly be any question
trat less evil would flow from the oc-
casiouaI notification of laws by juries
than from the justification of crimes
that iur,es arc inclined to excuse by
law After am. the favorable verdict
/ of the Jury is nothing more than a waiv-
ine of the law because the jury beliey-
ed the act To- have been exteuuated or
Justified by circumstances.

DIE FOR me WAR.

Fayetteville, Ark. December ia
company of twenty young men in this
city have organized and within few
days will start for Cuba to join the
rebel army
Several days ago a Cuban, said to
be an agent of the New York Junta,
had secret conferences with some of
the foremost young men i'm this vicin-
ity known to be in sympathy with the
Cuban patriots. and since then the
work of enlisting recruits and secur-
ing material aid for the Cubans has
been carried on quietly until now the
ambition of many has been fired to
take a hand in the struggle for Cuban
independence.
The company will start for the coast
about twenty-five strong. and is eX-
pected TO be conveyed from some point
near Galveston to the island.
