the action which resulted inthis com bination of forces was born only in hope of political success, and not founded upon principle, which is surely not true, no clamor just now is likely to cement the union of the parties from which Mr. Bryan $ support came.
 Party organization should be kept up, it is true; but it can be done so as to give it formidable strength, in our judgment, much bet ter through conservative channels than by keeping the nerves of its aaherents up to Q heated and un- natural tension so long.

 SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 17.-Rev. ". G. Shaw of St. Luke's Episcopal church called on the chief of police with man whom he introduced as Henry T Clarke of New Haven, Conn. Mr Clarke had 9 queer story to tell. He said that for two months his mind had been 8 blank and he wanted the police to trace his movements during that time. The last he remembers was leaving his wife to go to work at New Haven, Conn, last September. Sunday morning he awoke in 8 lodginghouse here and found he had registered as A. Walker He had no idea how he got there and was seeking for information. This the police readily furnished by placing Mir. Clarke in jail charged with embezzlement Accord ing to the police, Henry T. Clarke, who was employed by Peck & Bishopof New Haven, left that town suddenly on Sept. 26 last, taking with him $500 in cash and s28o in cheeks.

MAcEo- HEARD FROM.
Ee Gives Some Details In a Letter to
 senor Palma


 NEW YORK, Nov. 17.-Senor Tomas Estrada Palma, the Cuban delegate, has received letter from General Antonio Maceo under date of Nov '.
 You need have no uneasiness about me, says Maceo in his letter ''Even in the case that Weyler could direct against us such an enormous army that I could not meet it in the field in open battle, as I have done with success now, I will resort to guerilla warfare in the event my troops prove inefficient. I will give hard work to even 200, GOO soldiers"
 "Whlle the writer was preparing his trocha, Maeeo says, T was making line also" Maceo describes immediately in these words what he meant by his trocha. It is narrow passage through the mountains, and the only way In fact, to reach the strongholds where the Cubans have their supplies of ammuni- tien and two factories for making pow Qct dull aTlIlu&6S 1 1S NpSAASAA tAOOpSt Maceo says confidently, cannot get to the Cuban stronghold. The passage admits only one man at time in front, and besides that in space of a half Spanish league Cubans have built hun dreds of trenches and sown them with dynamite bombs. If Weyler could force the pass, Maeeo says, he would only meet destruction half way.
 In the same letter General Maceo gives the news that he has captured four eannons and Q great quantity of ammunition in his last engagement with the Spanish troops, especially against the corps of Melguizo.
 With regard to provisions, he says that he is well supplied. also notwith- standing the fact that the port of Pinar del Mar is not so well provided for as the rest of the island.

THE PRESENT SIL TER MOTE
 MENT.

The doctrine of try, try, agaln' labor oyercomes all things, and vic tory belongs to the vigilant, is not subject to any exceptions, but after one iob is accomplished it is wasted energy to go over it again, and where to begin on another IS simple question of policy and dis. cretion. h this line we regard Mr. Bryan's campaign, now begun for the contest of 1900.
 The country has been through a strain of popular excitement for the last six or eight months unpreee- dented in American politics, that of 1860 not being more so. The atten- tion ot the entire people have been invited on the issue, much to the embarrassment of business, the dis turbance of local and general com merce, unbalancing to some extent the ordinary rounds of society, both social and industrial, and now that that conflict is over, we believe that Mr. Bryan will find it better for the cause of free silver, for him. self and for the party not to open up the animating veins of party strife so soon. The people need se- dation, now, instead of excitation. They need to be let alone that their energies may be directed in the channels of industry, and that neighbors may live in accord and unite their efforts in the line of their common good, and not be so soon stirred up to that semi-frenzy which contests of this kind in- variably produce.
 A year or more away, antieipa- ting the election of the Lower House of Congress, and State Legislature through which the Senate may be re-organized, the propriety of continuing the "school ofeducation by Mir. Bryan, would be of much less doubtful propriety; in fact, would dubtless meet the dic- tation and necessity of well ap- proved policy, but we fear that to start It now and keep it up with any degree of warmth-and it would be useless without this-is rather overdoing the matter.
 That MT. Bryan has impressed the public mind with his candor, energy, sagacity and ability. equal to any American of the century, even his enemies admit, but that impression is not ephemerial; it will not die in day, nor in year; but the people must not be harrassed into impa- tience. We are not siding with that class who, treating of this question with special reference to Mir. Bryan, quote the old maxim Familiarity breeds contempt for that Is not true of diamonds or other extraordinary things, and we re gard him as an extraordinary man; but it is sometimes better to "let well enough alone" and a prudent man would possibly admit that a good thing can be overdone.
 There is an expressed fear among many that unless the movement is kept up that the cohesion of the silver adherents, derived from different parties, will be lost; but if

 WASHINGTON, Nov. I7.-It is learned here on good authority that the Spanish government has given General Weyler to understand that he must push his operations against the insurgents az. gressiyely and vigorously. Unless he soon achieves victory it is believed he will be recalled. General Weyler. it is understood. is aware of the alternative. and his present campaign in Pinar Del Rio is expected to result in an engage ment that wlll put new aspect on the Cuban situation one way or the other. The campaing, therefors. has become to him a personal matter and with the knowledge that his prestige and rank are at stake.
 Havana cables are being watched with interest for news of more impor. tant battles than skirmishes and guerril- h fights than have thus far come. Gen. Weyler has all the troops he can use There are over 2o0. Goo Spanish soldiers in Cuba, and the force under the cap. tain general in his present operations in the field in person is over G0,000 men. Maceo, aga1nst whom he is row operat- ing. has under him, 1t is estimated about aoo0 men. Spain, having ful. filled aii of General Weyler's wishes as to troops, new expects results from him.
