Those tears will be mine. For twas venus

RECOGNITION of Cuba.

There is some hope, according to this
mornings Washington dispatches that
The limited States will soon extend rec
IGNITION TO the Cuban belligerents. 1t
will be a tardy act of justice. For
weeks and months the sentiment OF the
American people in favor OF recoghi-

would be more polite for the United
States TO hold aloof. There is little
doubt about that Recognition entails
certain obligations on the government
If we accord 10 the Cubans the rights
of belligerents. then we Immediately
recognize that a war is going on in
Cuba In which. under international
agreement, we can take no part what
soever. II, under such circumstances
arms and ammunition are sent out OF
the country or those engaged in max
ing such shipments are arrested while
in the act, but are acquitted, then the
Spanish government can hold us to an
accountability. The Boston Herald re-
calls that in the same manner we held
England accountable for aid given &C

milton of belligerent rights is, under
many circumstances, of decided advan'

There are twenty-ntne contested
seats an the present congress, all
against democrats whose majortties
were anywhere from 1000 to 1000. In
the majority of these contests it is
predicted that the right is so strongly
against the contestants that even a big
republican house will refuse to unsea't
the democrats. Two-ohtrds of the cases
are, most likely. nothing more than
schemes by the contestants TO have
good time at Washington during the
winter and get well paid for 1t. The
contestant, even IL defeated, is awarded
a very handsome sum out of the con-
ringent fund for necessary expenses,
so that he's all right. The evil is one
that could easily be remedied II the
house would refuse to be so generous.

Fire Losses.

Fire insurance companies stiil insist
they are playing in hard luck and In
some places, chiefly the big cities. they
undoubtedly are. The losses by fire in
the larger cities are said TO be out of all
proportion TO those OF European cities,
which are quite as thickly populated
and whose buildings are crowded to-
gether in form as compact as are those
OF American cities. Statistics are pub
fished which show that Paris. with a
population of 2.44s. OOo had 1.lO4 fires in
1894, with a loss Of s1.OsS.s72. New York
city. with less population, had 4.O75
fires in the same period. with a report
ed loss of s4.20s.553. New York lost
twenty lives by fire during 1894. while
Paris lost but eight But there are any
number of reasons why Paris enjoys
greater immunity from fire than New
York.

the best fire system OF any city In che

its silver talk, 1t speaks right out every
time and emphasizes its remarks wluh
facts and figures and logic which can

editorial one day last week showing
now free coinage is paramount 10 SILVER

and admirable shape:
To any broad minded man who under

the silver mining industry is OF the smal-
ast nossible consideration. The advantage
10 the whole country, to all its industries
IN all users of money except the LENDERS

ar than the silver mining Industry as the
entire business of the country Is greater
than silver mining. There is no DOUBT
that Il will be an advantage for all OWN
ers of silver mines and silver bullion Tor
the government to coin IL free. The same
| argument holds true for gold mining ana
the owners of gold bullion. III gold were
demonetized IL would destroy at least %
per cent of its value. This was true OF

money of final redemption which regu-

plain as twice two makes four. IL Is Tor
this reason that honest bimetallists ask
