Up the Wrong Tree.
From the Boston Globe peml

Our populist friends who have so much
to say about corruption in official life are
surely barking up the wrong tree. !"
There have been no corruption scandals
under either of Cleveland's administra-
tions, and the standard of official hon
esty has been kept very high There has
never been a time when official dishonesty
received as little liberation as now.

The complaint of foreigners. that Amer
lea is embarrassing because it has no
ruins. no longer holds good. Doubters
should cast their eyes in the direction Of
Lebanon, No, Waterloo, Ia, Augusta,

other places in which there were recent
ly reared some beautiful political booms.

II might not be a bad idea for our
friends on the other side of the savan-
nah river to revive the customs of the old
times, and let their champions do single
combat for the settlement of their diff
9erences, in politics and otherwise. Such
an arrangement would save a great deal
of time, trouble and expense. The ex-
ample recently set by Gov. Evans and
Judge Earle could then be followed by
lesser men, and the good right arm and
the horny fist would determine who
should hold the Office

4 Poor OutIooIe for spnIn.

No better evidence is needed of Spain S
growing weakness in Cuba than the fact
that there is lack of harmony between
Captain General Weyler Of Cuba and the
Spanish minister at Washington, Senior
Dupuy de LONE. These officials are the
chief representatives OF Spain on this side
of the ocean. A few days ago La Lucha.
Captain General Weyler's newspaper or
gan at Havana. contained a vicious at
tack upon Senior De Lone. 1t stated that
he lacked the force of character necessary
TO deal with the situation IN this country,
and that there was little or nothing TO
show for the $4,000 "a month of spain's
money which he spent. The suggestion was
also made that he ought to resign. or be
recalled, and his place filled by some one
better qualified for the position.
1t IS assumed that the article was inspir-
ed by Gen. Weyler, and may have been
intended to draw attention away from his
own failure to fulfill the expectations that
were entertained of him when he was APP
pointed captain general. AS a matter of
fact he has spent vast amount of money
and has lost an immense number Of sol
diers, but he has accomplished practically
nothing. Indeed, SPANS hold on Cuba is,
from all accounts, much weaker than it
was when Gen. Weyler took command. Ha-
vana is surrounded by the insurgents and
Spain viii have to send more troops to
Cuba to defend that city-troops she can
not well spare.
Senior De LONE appears to have been ex-
ceedingly well disposed towards Gen.
Weyler when that official took command in
Cuba, and used all his influence to prevent
the United States from taking any action
favorable to Cuba until Gen. Weyler had
been given a chance to bring the insurg-
ents to terms. He predicted that SPANS
| authority on the island would be restored
before the rainy season began. He has
been disappointed, but his disappointment
has not shown itself in this country. He
has worked for Spains interests earnest
| ly, and with remarkable success His
zeal has been highly commended, and his
friends, therefore, are very indignant at
1 the attack upon him in the Havana news
paper. The attack will not have the eff
| feet of advancing SPANS interests in
| Cuba. On the contrary, it will injure them.
The nl-feeling between the two distin-
guished representatives of Spain will give
the impression that Spain is losing ground
in Cuba.

The report of Jose Maceo's death is con
hrmed by Gen. Calixto Garcia. the Cuban
commander. There can be. therefore, no
further doubt about it. Gen. Garcia has
written to friends in New York that Ma
Geo died the death of a soldier and a hero,
on the field and facing the foes of his
country. Jose Maeeo won distinction in
the ten years war, which he first en-
tered for the purpose OF avenging upon
the Spaniards the cruel murder of his
brother Up to the time Of the murder
the Maceo family had remained neutral,
but that act sent them all into the field.
