If the sound money men shall get
an equal vote with the cheap money
Democrats in the delegations of Hi
nois, Indiana and Minnesota they will
be fortunate. Louisiana is likely to
be for free silver. Virginia and West
Virginia are fairly doubtful, and may be
solid either way, or have divided del
egations. 1t is quite uncertain as to
how the delegates from the District of
Columbia shall vote.
The chances appear to be in favor
of the domination of the free silver
element in the Democratic national
convention, and if it shall present a
candidate and platform sanctioning
the cheap money craze, the Democ-
racy will not only be defeated by the
largest majority ever given against
any party in contested election, but
it will have no future. 1t must now
choose the policy of sound financial
system that will command the conf
dence of the civilized world, or it must
die unlamented.-Phila. Times.

We notice that the wide tire on
heavy wagons is coming into pretty
general use in this section, and the
cause of this change from the narrow
to the wide tire is an act of the last
legislature which RENTS IS per cent.
of the road taxes of those who use
the wide tire. And this will have con-
siderable to do with the improvements
of our roads, and will probably save in
repairs to the public highways nearly
as much If not quite the amount of
taxes remitted. The act provides that
any owner Of wagons used upon the
roads who shall fit them with four
inch tires shall have reduction in
his road tax of twenty-five per cent.
As narrow tires are largely response
BILE for the cutting up and disfguring
of roadbeds made of soft material,
while wide tires tend to keep down
and solidify them, the general adop-
tion of the wide tire will bring about
considerable improvement without
any change in any other direction.

Settling the Cuban Trouble.

Spain is virtually bankrupt and
without means of continuing much
longer her effort to suppress the Cuban
lnsurrection. Being aware of this fact,
if she is approached in conciliatory
manner, she may be induced to grace
fully yield the point which she is con-
scious Of not being able to carry by
force of arms.
1t would seem to be the Presidents
purpose to effect settlement of the
controversy in that manner. He will
not do anything rash in exercising the
power with which Congress has in
vested him in this matter. By proper
approach Spain may be made to admit
the hopelessness of her struggle, and
the United States, instead of being an
arbitrary interviewer in the difficulty,
may be instrumental in bringing about
an amicable understanding between
the two conflicting parties that are
ravaging Cuba with their bloody strife.
The United States are not bent
upon the acquisition of the island. 1t
would be offensive in this country to
charge it with such a mercenary mo-
tive but if Spain could be induced
to concede to the Cubans the right of
AUTONOMY granting all the reforms
that are necessary for the well being
and good government of the island,
and retaining over it only that kind of
sovereignty which England retains in
Canada, such a settlement, we think,
would satisfy all the interests that
Americans can legitmately take in the
controversy; and it looks as if the
President, instead Of resorting to Of
fensive measures, will endeavor to
bring about such conciliatory settle
ment.-BeLletont WatrhmaH.

HENRY E. ABBEY Is DEAD.
THE CELEBRATED IMPRESARIO
PASSES AWAY SUDDENLY.
Although He Had Been Ill for Some

New York, Oct. T.-Henry E. Abbey, of
the theatrical firm of Abbey, Schoeffel &

he died were his daughter and Mrs. Kings

present Mrs. Abbey. who recently brought
a suit for divorce, is said to be in Europe.
Mr. Abbey had been Ill some time. Sew
