In the last % months Spain has sent
to Cuba $50, 900 troops. She always has
about 20, 900 soldiers regularly station
ed there. All the Cubans she could get
hold of have been forced into the Span
ish army. 1t is not possible to ascertain
the number Of these, but beyond a doubt
Spain has had at her command as many
as 210, 900 soldiers to suppress a rebel
lion in an island With a population of
only 2, 900, 600. She has failed to get a
foreign loan. Her prime minister has
turned to the people of Spain, saying
that he must and will squeeze out OF
them the millions yet necessary to crush
the rebellion. In 1896 the recruits sent
to Cuba have been obtained only by con-
scription. Next year it will be worse.
There will be few soldiers and no money
at all, for TIE impoverished inhabitants
of Spain can furnish no money where
there is none. The rebellion in the Phil
ippines is not yet extinguished. Miser-
able, indeed, is the proud old monarchy.
The Cuban patriots meanwhile have
been growing only stronger. Without
money in the beginning, they have as
much now as they had then. They have
also thousands Of stands of arms and
guns that tEey had not then. The popu-
lation of the island outside of Havana
is warmly with the rebel leaders. If
more soldiers are needed than are will
ling to volunteer in the patriot army,
they can be had in plenty by drafting
them.

There was paid out for pensions this
year of 1896 the sum Of $13S, 000, 900.
The falling off in the number of old
pensioners and the addition to the pen
sion list Of new names were about even,
showing that 1896 marks the turning of
the tide in the pension roll. From this
time Oh the list will decrease in num-
bers unless a general pension law should
be passed. This may be done at some
future time, though not for several years
yet. At present there are $40, 600 names
on the pension roll, including disabled
soldiers, soldiers widows and minor
orphans.

Stead on the Eastern Question.

Stead OH the Eastern Question.
It is a satisfaction to see how w. T.
Stead roars at England in reference to
the Armenian question. III The Review
of Reviews he reminds his country that
20 years ago Russia undertook to liber-
ate Bulgaria from Turkish rule and
Turkish atrocities. Russia accomplished
her work alone. Then England, through
her jealousy of Russia, refused to allow
that country tc enjoy the fruits Of vic
tory. In the Berlin congress 20 years
ago, at the making Of the treaty of San
Stefano, cit was England and lone other
that Cancelled the clause giving Russia
the right to compel the Turks to guar
antee the Armenians against outrages
and massacre" At the Berlin congress
England's ministers "re-enslaved one
third of Bulgaria, delivered over Ar
menia to the uncovenanted mercies of
the sultan and then al off with Cyprus
as their wages for a crime almost IN
paralleled in history for it's combination
of Pharisaism and theft.
Such being the fact, Mr.. Stead thinks
it not surprising that Russia nor any
other European nation has any conf
dence in England now. In brief, the
Armenian situation, horrible as it is, is
due to England's crime of 20 years ago,
when she refused to let Russia force re-
ligious liberty for all his subjects down
the throat Of the sultan.
To make amends for this contemplate
conduct in 1878 Stead considers that
England should now make redress and
crawl out of the consequences Of her act
the same way she crawled in. Prince
Lobanoff said shortly before his death
that Russia was powerless to aid the
Armenians because "England vas COM
mitted by the Anglo-Turkish convention
to defend the sultan against Russia
should she take any action to protect the
Armenians against their oppressors. "
Therefore England herself is responsible
for the deplorable situation in Armenia.
To reform it England should, in the
Judgment of MI. Stead, first evacuate
Cyprus and turn it over to the porte as
an earnest that she is not merely playing
her old game of grab. Next there should
be a congress of all the powers which
should guarantee reforms in Turkey.
Third, the carrying out Of those reforms
should be intrusted to Russia under the
superintendence Of the powers.

.sIntensely

We, have the word Of divers British
orators and statesmen that England de-
slres nothing more than she longs for q
permanent arbitration commission joint
u with the United States to settle peace
ably and in the spirit of the brotherhood
OF nations all differences arising be-
tween the two countries. Professor Bryce
warmly favors such a commission. Mr..
Thomas Lloyd, editor of the London
Statist, has been visiting America for
! some time, partly with a view to find
ing out what all American presidential
election is like. Mr.. Lloyd assures us
solemnly that the feeling Of the British
toward this country is Intensely friend
ly."
Well, we are glad to hear it. It must
be true or so many distinguished per-
sons would not continue to assure US
that the British are devoted friends Of
ours. Still, we must be permitted to OBJ
serve, IT they are such friends to us as
all that, they have a queer way of show
ing it sometimes.
: A sample of this remarkable friendli-
ness on the part of the common Briton
was lately deeply impressed on an
American who had taken a spry Ameri-
can trotter and light wagon to London.
He was fond Of driving and did not like
either the heavy British vehicles or the
jerky hackney horse. He preferred a
long legged, even gated American trot-
ter. An Englishman who should bring
a hackney and a British RIG here might
drive from one end Of the republic to
/ the other and would never be molested.
The inhabitants of the land would
scarcely even stare at him.
No sooner, however, did the London
cab and hanson drivers catch sight OF
the American and his trot5er and light
wagon than they by common consent
determined to ''break him up, as they
called it. They deliberately tried to
run into him and crush the wagon anG
lame the horse. They swore openly
"We'll break up yer bloody Hamerical
car for ye." The man who took thu
trotter to London to drive for his owl
pleasure writes back Warning Americans
that if they drive a trotter in England
they must be prepared to be purposely
run into Or made to pull up suddenly
all the time. The man says in The
Horse Review, "The only way to drive
a wagon safely in London would be t,
have knives fixed to the front ixles lik'
the war chariots used by the ancien
Britons."

DR.. Albert Shaw divides American
pessimists into two classes-those of the
east and those of the west. He says
pessimism in the east is owing to either
the "morbid timidity Of the very rich
or the shallow ignorance of the small
part of community that is proud Of
knowing more about Europe than about
the United States.' AS to western peo-
pie who believe the country is going to
ruin, they are persons who have expe-
rienced "the bitterness of failure or of
temporary mischance in enterprises es-
sentially speculative in their nature"
In other wC-ds, eastern people are blue
and despordent because they are too
rich, western people because they are
too poor.

REPUBLICAN NATIONAL PLAT.
FORM.

The platform reads as follows:
The republicans of the United States
assembled by their representatives in
national convention, appealing for the
popular and historical justification of
their claims to the matchless achieve
ments of 80 years of republican rule,
earnestly and confidently address
themselves to the awakened intelli-
gence. experience and conscience Of
their c~ountrymen in the following dec
laration of facts and principles:
For the first time since the civil war
the American people hsve witnessed
the Calamitous consequences of full
and restricted democratic control of
the government. 1t has been a record
of unparalleled i%ncapacity, dishonor
and ,,isdster. In administrative man
age. mt it has ruLhlessly sacrificed in
d.spr. able revenue, cntailed an I'M
ceasiE deficit, eked out ordinary cur
rent penses with borrow money.

in tine o. peace, forced an adverse bal
ance O. trade. kept a perpetual men
ace hanging over the redemption fund,
pawned American credit to alien SYM
dicates, and reversed all the measures
and results of successful republican
rule. In the broad effect of its policy
it has precipitated panic, blighted in
dustry and trade with prolonged de-
preston, closed factories reduced work
and wages, halted enterprise and Grip
pied American production while stimu-
lating foreign production for the
American market.
Every consideration OF public safety
and individual interest demands that
the government shall be rescued from
the hands Of those who have shown
themselves incapable to conduct 1t
without disaster at home and dishonor
abroad, and shall be restored to the
party which for 80 years administered
it with unequaled success and prosperi-
ty. And in this connection we heartily
endorse the wisdom, patriotism and the
success OF the administration of Presi-
dent Harrison.
