SPAIN AND AMERICA.

The critrisms--we might say savage attacks
made by some Of his own cOuntrymen upon
the Spanish Minister at Washington seem most
unjust He Is charged with negecting the in
terests Of his country, in respect to Cuba; with
not exercising sufficient vigilance In preventing
the sailing of fibustering expeditions and the
shipment Of munitions Of war to the rebels,
and with not exertng proper influence over the
United States Government to keep II friendly
to the Spanish cause Wherefore, 1t Is said,
the administration OF General Weyler has been
much embarrassed. for which fact Senior Du-
puy de LONE IL to be held responsible.
For these accusations there Is no visible
foundation In truth No foreign Minister has
been more diligent, more interchangeable In the
discharge OF his duties, than Senior de LONE has
been since the outbreak Of the Cuban insurrec-
ton He has been Jealous In watching for and
interceptin1 expeditions intended to bear aid
and comfort to the Cubans. His agents have
seemed almost ubiquitous. There is probably
NOT n case on record In which n Minister has
done his country better service In securing en-
forccment of the neutrality laws. Nor has he
been remiss in using the arts OF diplomacy
mon the American Government No one could
have been ut once more tactful and insistent

DEALING WITH POISON IVY.

Various correspondents have testified to the
popular interest aroused in the suburbs and
elsewhere by The Tribune's recent publication
on the subject of poison ivy. All have shown
appreciation Of the magnitude OF the evil, and
an earnest desire to be rid Of it. Not few
have sought further information, especially
concerning cures for the poisoning, and methods
of destroying the vine itself How, 1t is asked,
Is the vine to be destroyed, If every one who
touches 1t Is poisoned by II? And by what
compulsiOn are the highways and other public
places to be freed from 1t?
To the first inquiry, for a cure for the poison
ing, he would be a rash man who should at
tempt to give a positive answer Remedies are
ms numerous as those for colds. Many Of them
are good, for some cases. All are probably
worthless for some cases One perfectly we'll
authenticated case has just come under notice.
In which no less than fourteen standard pre-
scriptions were tried in succession. without the
slightest relief The disease simply ran Its
course In about two weeks. as 1t would have
done had no medicine been applied and the
sklful and experienced physician In charge.
who had paid special attention to the subject Of
ivy poisoning and the cure Of II, declared frank
ly that his science was OF no avail. Neverthe-
less, there are various remedies which are
familiar to most physicians, which are always
worth trying, and which in many cases do
prove efcacious.
The destruction Of the noxious plant Is far
simpler and easier matter AS we have said.

they are the people who should attack II.
There are many others who are not poisoned

tools In doing so. Again, the qualities OF the
plant vary greatly with the season and weather.
In spring and summer 1t Is to be Stunned. and
In weather that Is both hot and humid 1t
reaches its most intense vrulence. But In late
fall and winter it is practically harmless. That
fact indicates the time at which 1t may most
safely be destroyed.
Authority for the removal Of 1t from all pub
lie places should not be difficult to find In
every community there Is n health officer with
ample power. No property holder has right

Tom" Watson has not taken back the con-
temptuous remarks about Bryan which he maze
over his own initials last week In the Popullst
sheet that he runs down in Georgia but with
as much grace as possible he has eaten the
words In which he announced that he would
not be candidate for either place on the ticket.
OF course circumstances over which he had no
control arose, and because "the life OF the
party" depended on 1t he has consented to make
the sacrifice With such an inspiring example
before him, how can Bryan fail to accept the
st. Louis nomination which he scorned when
Watson was thrust to the front? He Will, we
imagine take the back track as cheerfully as
his Populist confrere, and both Of them Will
proceed to save the country" with all their
might.

One Of the absurd railroad rules in connection
with the law requiring bicycles to be carried
free In this State Is that passengers wishing
bicycles checked must present them TO the bag
gage master at least fifteen minutes before
train time. This is not required in the Of
any other kind Of baggage. 1t Is obviously a
part OF the scheme to discourage the taking Of
"yheels" on trains. 1t Is not reasonable rule
and we doubt whether 1t could stand the scru-
tiny OF the courts.

ber of neighbors, and about dozen men
went 10 the store and called on the bur-
glars to surrender.
The latter made dash for liberty and

Montgomery, Ala, Nov. 12.-The fast

SHOT DEAD IN A SALOON.
The Deceased Advancing to Fight n
Man When Killed.

Columbus, Ca, Nov. Eat 0 o'clock
tonight at Sykes bar, on First avenue,
Shelly Miller shot George Venable in the
forehead, killing him instantly. Imme-
diately after the shooting Miller left the
saloon, but his friends say he will be
here when wanted. Miller is barten-
der at julius saloon.
Venable had just served a thirty days
sentence on the chain-gang and was re-
leased at o'clock this afternoon. He
had the reputation of being a mad man
while in his cups. Late in the afternoon
he went into Julius bar drunk. Miller
refused to sell him drinks Tonight, ac-
cording to the best accounts. the two men
met at Sykes bar, and Venable began
abusing Miller for refusing to sell him
LIQUOR, and started toward him, evidently
bent on fighting. AS he advanced Miller
drew his pistol quickly and fired. rhe
shot was at close range and Venables =
brains were blown out. His death was
almost as quick as a flash. Both men
are well connected, but Venable was q
notorious character, and had cost his peo-
pie thousands of dollars in paying him
out of scrapes. Not long ago he came
near killing a man In Macon for refusing
to sell him a drink, Miller's friends say.
Miller has a wife and family, but Venable
was unmarried His aged mother is
heartbroken over the tragic termination
of the career of her wayward son.
