One or two evenings after this was
crossing Howard avenue when heard
a voice-Barker's voice. but with an un-
familiar nasal twang about it-halloo.
ing at me: Look out. there!"
Involuntarily started. There was
an uncanniness about it-a weird and
unnatural emphasis. 1t was voice
pregnant with the ring of authority,
and as I stepped quickly to one side
there shot by me vision of gray golf
stockings. sweater and cycling cap with
which was pretty well acquainted. So
he had actually rugged up his wheel
with a phonograph! Darling into
nearby bicycle agency. I hired wheel
in feverish haste and sped up the avenue
in pursuit of the feeting figure in gray
In the dim distance | could hear the
howl of the fiendish thing as it sped on
through the night, and as spun over
the asphalt with the speed of the wind
the space between us lessened and
began to catch the medley OF shouts
that were pouring forth from the vicin-
ity of Barker's handle-bars. He had evil

bordered on the marvellous.
''Would you be SO kind, miss. /" It said
with the accent Of Chesterfield, as a
woman of the fat and forty persuasion
stepped in the way, "as to turn to the
right little? Aw. thanks!"
And the woman smiled at Barker,
and thought he was such a polite young
man. A few rods further on small boy
darted across the street beneath the
hickering rays OF the electric light
Hi. therel" yelled the phonograph,
"get move on you now-yi! vi! yi,"
whereupon the boy was convinced he
was being pursued by lunatic and fed
down side street.

that the annual stoppage in that in

The weakness of wheat, which has de-
clined 210 cents, and of cotton,
which is an eighth lower for spots,
though less for futures. have full ex-
planation in decidedly good crop pros

Senator Morgan occupied near
ly all the whole of yesterday in a
speech on the Cuban question.
The diplomatic gallery contained
the largest representation of the
session, Minister Hatch of Ha-
waii being among those mention
ed as present. Senator Morgan
reviewed the policy of the United
States regarding Cuba since the
time OF President Adams, who had
prophesied that Cuba would be
State of the American Union with
in fifty years, and, thereafter,
Webster, Clay, Jefferson and other
statesmen uniformly urged the
acquisition OF Cuba by the United
States. The atrocities of the
Spaniards in controlling the Cub.
ans were almost without parallel
in history. In the last war not
only had 1900 Cubans been kill
ed in battle, but 1900 prisoners
had been put to death. The pre-
sent war was but renewal of the
former. Spain has sent to
the conflict up to this time eleven
war vessels and 10000 men, and
has $4,000 volunteers for garri-
son duty. And yet this vast force
cannot keep General Gomez from
hearing the morning and evening
guns of Havana.
Senator Morgan read letter
from Cuba, stating that the Cub
ans were gradually succeeding.
They had about 1000 men in the
field. The mass of Cubans were
in sympathy with Gomez and
Maceo, and in the end they were
certain to achieve their liberty.
The bloody code of writ kept the
mass in subsection. The bloody
code of General Weyler was with
out parallel in modern warfare.
1t was against women and child
rem and innocent tradesmen. LII
this inhuman code was directed
against on. American citizen,
then Spain should understand
that 70,000,000 people should visit
upon her such redress as
would make the Cuban uprising
a mere triAe in comparison. The
United States had a right to in
SlSU tnaV llle rules OIL ClNlllAeu war
fare be observed. The adoption
Of the resolution would not only
apply to this rebellion, but also
the next and next-for they would
continue to come-and would be
a notice TO Spain that belligeren-
cy would be accorded to those
struggling for their freedom. Sem
ator Morgan was to resume his
speech the next day.
Senator White of California
offered substitute resolution, ex-
pressing the sympathy of the
American people, and hoping that
the Government would at an ear
ly date find the facts to be such
as to warrant recognition Of bel
ligerency, and that the good Off
ces of the United States be exert
ed to the end that Cuba may be
enabled to establish a permanent
government of her own choice.

IN view Of the probabilities OF attempts

Iating the liquor traffic. a recent observa-
ton OF the Sioux City Journal may be Of
interest. a. showing the feeling OF some
people IN Iowa, a state which has expert
nented with nearly every kind Of liquor
legislation. The Journal sayss The Iowa
liquor Law, imperfect and grotesque as
some OF Its features are. has ons great sd-
vantage. II does not thrust the WHISKY
question into local elections. This u a
great relief. 1t is a great relief from thu
previous stats-wids prohieitory law. be-
cause that virtually thrust the question
OF license into al selections Of local Of
fcers. The question was. In form. wheth-
err the law should be enforced. or rather.
whether an exasperating, bat generally
futile, effort should be made to enforce 1t.
The present license law operates as great
relief from these turmoils and costly fu-
tIlisies in local politics"

One experiment. trisd prior 10 the last
session Of the Legislature shouit be rs-
Deated. Some time In December the three
principal cities appointed sort Of com
uittee. consisting Of certain municipal Of
Acers. to meet Ia convention and agree
upon measures 20 DO submitted 10 the

SUN has been very beneficial
Profitsng by experience IN these nav
laws, 1t would be well TO formniats some
few amandmsnts designed TO msst de-
fsoasnciss which could not be foFsssen.
One of these Is TO be found IN the matter
Of municipal courts. They are altogether
TOO expensive for tho purpose they serve.
If the courts arc to be continued the
Judges should be reduced 70 duties OF
committing MAGISTRATES. Their Jurisdlo-
tson should be limited TO the trial Of Of
lenses against city ordinances. either civil
or criminal. and IL tire question OF valid
~ OF an ordinance arises Il should be at

fore tina municipal court instead OF before

necessary to have more than oas justices

Perhaps. until tho cities are large enough
to warrant the expense OF such court.
the best plan would be to adept - sug-
