This War Will Not Last Ten Years.

The declaration of Yara, which marked
the beginning Of the former struggle for
Cuban independence, was made on the lth
of October, 1868. The pacifcation effected
by MARTINEZ CAMPos occurred in 1878.
The interval was a period of ten years.
throughout which hostilities were, to
greater or less extent, carried on.
But the present contest does not follow
the lines of the former. So far from lasting
ten years, it now gives promise of not
reaching three. 1t may be said to have
begun year ago last February, and when
its second anniversary comes around, its
end may even then be easy to forecast. So
far from continuing ten years, 1t would not
be at all surprising should it fail to last ten
months longer. The present campaign
begins to look like the final one.
Everything indicates that Spain is max
ing her supreme effort in this campaign.
She has poured out her resources for it with
an unstinted hand; but thus far, though
the fighting has been frequent and the ag-
gregated losses severe, the patriots
have made head against the Span
ish, just as always before. The upshot
thus far seems to be that, in the west,

with which he can make his mountain
strongholds impregnable, while the Spanish
resources are frittered away in combats,
here and there, that lead to no decisive end.
Can we doubt that, apart from any action
Of the Congress Of the United States on the
subject at the coming session, the progress
of this campaign will complete the discour-
agement of Spain Can we doubt that, il

ideals in their natural home in the
Catholic Church, have, with pathetic cour-
age, labored to realize them amid the
jarring conditions of the communion in
which they have remained. He goes on to
mark, however, wherein the Papal bull
conflicts directly with the position assumed
by the so-called High Church or Ritual
istic party In England. The members
OF this party have accounted the
Anglican body part OF the Catholic
Church, coequal and cointeGral with the
Roman and Eastern churches. They have
held the Anglican ordinal to be rite suffi-
cent for the valid transmission Of the sacra-
ment of orders; they have believed their
ministry to be n valid episcopate and
priesthood, their eucharist to be valid
sacrifice, and their absolution to be a
valid remission, more or less in the
sense in which all these terms are accepted
by Roman Catholics 1--WE cannot" says
the Cardinal, In conclusion, "attempt to
deny that upon these claims the whole
weight Of the Papal sentence directly falls.
That sentence, by its very import, strikes at
the validity OF their entire system"
Such, unquestionably, is the purport of
the decision unanimously reached by a
council Of twelve Catholic theologinns. with
the composition of which the Anglican
leaders OF the movement for reunion ex-
pressed their entire satisfaction. The unan-
imous verdict Of the council, confirmed after
due deliberation by the Pope, represents
the final and irrevocable adverse Judgment

The heartiness Of the reception accorded

Lively Faith, and Hysterical Giving

sobbng and shouting throng of people
at Carnegie Hail. last Sunday, threw into the
missionary collection box of the Rev. A. B.
SIMPSON money, jewelry, deeds of real estate,
shares of stock, and articles of clothing,
amounting in value to over 100000. OF
course, they were not acting under the influ-
ence Of reason They flung in their contribu-
tions in purely hysterical excitement induced
by Mr.. SIMPSONS declaration that the terrible
second coming OF CHRIST is at hand, and
that in the mean time faith can heal and
cure the stricken bodies of men. The people
were wrought up to frenzy. They did not
stop to think of the material worth of what
they were sacrificing.
Such hysterical exhibitions marked the
old-time revivals and camp meetings in un-
learned and backwoods communities, and it
seems that they are not less easily excited
now, and in New York. The manifestation
recalls the frenzy of the Flagellants and other
religious manias of the Middle Ages.
Here is n part of the description of the
Carnegie Hall meeting in Mondays Sun:
The Rev. Mr.. SIMPSON made the opening prayer OF
the meeting II this place be shaken before this
meeting is over he prayed, may the living temples
be shaken.
"'These are awful times Lord! About us the
earth is trembling. Death Is near. All things are
totterng. crumbling. All things are swaying-sway.
ing-swaying.'
THE speakers hoarsely whispering voice was SO
charged with q sense OF impending disaster that a
petc.ptible shiver ran through the audience. He
continued. with long pauses, which broken
only by half stihed sobs from his hearers
Tho third collection OF the day was then taken up
and Mr. MOODY preached again"
On a single occasion. ut the summer meet
ing Of Mr. SIMPSONS followers at Old
Orchard, Me-, in August of this year,
$lol,500 was subscribed under the i'm
pulse of the same religious excitement
At their annual Convention held in
October, 1895, $4,000 was given; and
very large sums of money and many arti-
cles Of great value have been surrendered at
meetings in past years amid similar scenes
of intense excitement.
This shows that cold agnosticism has not
chilled the ardor of religious faith at this
day. The fear of hell and the desire for
heaven remain as OF old; so also can religious
ecstacy still be aroused by sensational
preacher, and whipped up into hyst-rical
excitement, such as that whose influence
would lead men and women to go joyfully
to the stake. The world grows older; but
the nature of man continues unchanged

Thus the representatives OF more than
p.000,O 900 Democrats who supported the
Democratic ticket at the last national cleo
tion voted in opposition to the acceptance OF
Populist platform as declaration OF
Democratic party faith. They make up
majority of the delegates whose votes were
recorded in protest against the Populist
platform, or leg out of the Sol, and they
remained steadfast. Through all the ballots
they abstaned from participation in the
nomination Of the successful candidate,
man who did not vote the Democratic elec-
toral ticket in 1892, and who came into the
Ch icago Convention as contestant. These
delegates are put down on the record of the
Convention as mot voting" They did not
vote because they could not approve, and
because their Democratic constituents could
not approve of the nomination in the name
OF the Democracy of any candidate willing
to run for the exalted Office of President of
the United States upon n platform which,
in It's essential features, belongs by right of
political discovery to the Populists, who
met at st. Louis n few weeks later.
Hence the estimate Of 100000 honest
money Democrats, made by some OF the
leaders ofthe PALMER and BUCKNER ticket,
would not be unreasonable in an ordinary
election. So far from being too large, it
would probably be too small. But this
year it is doubtful if even SO irreproachable
q ticket as PALMER and BUCKNER will poll
so great vote, for all intelligent Demo-
Gratis and patriotic citizens well know that
its election is impossible, and that the only
safe way to sustain the cause of honest
money is to vote for the electoral ticket Of
MCKINLEY and HOBART. That is the only
honest-money ticket which can win against
Repudiaton.
Are there 1000, 900 honest-money Demo-
Gratis? There are 100000 of them, not u
man less, and there may be many hundred
thousands more. But will there be 2,0OO,-
900 votes for PALMER and BUCKNERs Not

dates on the blue and gray ticket. Honor
to the old warriors, gallant Democrats both.

enough: but the remark applies to women SO

suggest that such womanly purity is so extra

when 1t is exhibited. In that respect Queen
VICTORIA is like all good women. and, thank

GERMANY'S MARINE PROGRESS

Germany has been doing her utmost
to overtake England, and the German
merchant marine is continually coming
nearer to the English in efficiency. The
total number of vessels has been con-
siderably reduced, because small ships
have given place to large ones, but as
regards the increase in steamers in par
ticular, this was much greater relative
ly in Germany than in England, al
though the number of steamers pos
sessed by England still exceeds that of
Germany by about eight times. Ger
man steamers are considerably larger
than the English; for instance
while German steamers show an aver
age tonnage of S10.7, that of England
is only 1907. 1t follows that while Eng
Iish steamers have increased in num-
bers by Sal per cent. in 13 years, their
tonnage was only about doubled, where
as in Germany while the number of
steamers was somewhat more than
doubled the tonnage was almost quad
rupled. At the beginning of 1881 Ger
man steamers possessed an average ca
pacity of 521.2 registered tons; at the
beginning of 1894 this rose to S1O.7
tons This shows plainly the great de-
velopment of German steamship lines.

WOMEN OF ICELAND.

From the earliest period the Ice
landic woman has enjoyed distinct in
dividuality The wife has always held
the place of an equal with her husband
in matters pertaining to the house. In
the old days she wore a bracelet, from
which hung the insignia of Office-her
keys and purse. Now that she has laid
aside the gold wristband, these signi-
ficant household accoutrements are car
ried in the dress pocket: but they are
hers. nevertheless.
Icelandic women vote in all church
and parish matters. They also have
full municipal suffrage, but as yet can
not vote upon matters pertaining to
commerce nor for members of parlia-
ment, though there is a strong senti-
ment in favor of giving them these
additional advantages.
Women take part in many political
meetings, and talk upon political sub
jects. During the Athling sessions
great numbers of the most intelligent
women of the capital city are in con-
slant attendance. For some years
there has existed a political society of
women; and when momentous ques-
tions affecting their interests are be-
fore the legislative body, large meet
ings are called and addressed by
women, setting forth their claims.
