GOD SAVE THE QUEEN
Accused of Writing Poetry of Which
 Lorne Was the Author

LONDON, Dec. 19.-Speculation as to the author of the verse on the red granite monolith erected by Queen Victoria in Ballochbuie forest neal Balmoral castle, as memorial to her son-in-law, the late Prince Henry Of Battenberg, has at last been set at rest. The lines have been variously attrib- uted to the queen, the Princess Beat rice, widow of the late Prince Henry, and to MT. Gladstone, but it is now announced that they are from the pen of the Marquis of Lorne, husband of the Princess Louise and ex-governor general of Canada. Their only merit seems to rest in the fact that they adorn royal monument. Thus runs the verse:
 Brief life! in sport and war so keen, Mourned by these winds in heath and fir,
 As were the falling breakers stir ! The palms that crown thy closing scene ''

BAD MAN WITH A GUN.
Interesting Gossip From the Flourish
 ing Congress Camp.

CONGRESS, Ariz., Dec 19-(Special Correspondence of The Republican)- J. There has been a "bad man. here in the person of one named O'Neill. He came from Fools Gulch loaded with Arizona electricity and thought the camp was his. He was abusing one of the frail ones, and upon John Vietti making him desist, he drew a gun, which John promptly took away from him. The bad man then went out and succeeded in borrowing another gun. He came back, drew the gun and in- formed Vietti that he had been too long on earth, and that he was the bad man. come to remove him, whereupon Vietti again disarmed him and made a street sweeper of him, finally turning him over to Deputy Sheriff Boscha, who landed him in the bastile.

 The Congress Gold companys store is one of the busiest places in the ter ritory. Since E. J. Jones, the genial store manager, has had charge, the business has increased wonderfully, and they not only do almost all of the retail trade of the camp, but supply most of the mining camps and stores within a radius of fifty miles or more; in fact, the writer saw one load of goods starting for store almost over to the Colorado river, and another for Harqua Hala. The scene in the store about the first of the month reminds one of the early California days, when you had to get in line and wait your turn to be served.

TALKING IT OVER.
Opponents of the Resolution May At
 tempt to Block It's Passage.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 19. - Discus cussion has been reopened of the ques- tion whether the recognition of the independence or belligerency of an other government was an executive or a legislative act, a question which was warmly debated before the foreign af- fairs committee when the resolutions to recognize the Cuban insurgents as belligerents were under consideration last session.
 The sentiment among the members of the foreign affairs committee of the house is not so strongly in favor of radical action upon the Cuban ques- tion as it was during the last session. It is evident from the conversation of the members that the majority of the committee opposes the recognition of Cuba's independence, at any rate un- til the next administration comes into power, unless there should be changes in the situation in the island which would demand action or much new evidence regarding the conditions thereby secured.
 i Among the few senators at the cap- | itol today the action of the committee on foreign relations yesterday in adopting the Cameron resolution was the principal topic of conversation.
 Speculation naturally turned to the probable course of the measure in the senate. There is an agreement among the members of the committee not tC attempt to press the resolution to con- sideration during the two days before adjournment for the holidays Ad vocates of the resolution express theil willingness to forego speechmaking 1T

Opinions Of the European Press "Spain Is High Spirited'-"Am m eri- calls Ready to Pass From Threats Into ACtion.''

NEW YORK, Dec 19.-The Evening Posts copyrighted London cable item today has the following:
 The Cuban resolution in the United States senate would be regarded here as little more than a useful safety valve for jingo sentiment, did not the Madrid telegraph show the highly in flammable state of the Spanish popu- lace. The outburst, following Maceo's death, in which the court was forced to join, is described as bordering on frenzy. It suggests how far Castillian sensitiveness and unpopular enthusi- asm may push the Spanish govern ment without awaiting formal proof of the validity of the action of con- gress. In the event of Spanish ap- peal to the European powers, it is re- membered that French protests are still heard against the assumed Amer ican protectorate over the continent where France has large interests.
 America says the Manchester Guardian today, '';s doing her best to involve herself in tangle of European diplomatic relations, by opening one foreign question after another in which Europe is deeply interested LONDON, Dec. 19.-Commenting on the attitude of the United States to- ward Cuba, as shown by the action of the senate committee on foreign rela- tions, the Evening News says this af- ternoon:
 There is little doubt as to what would be the answer of a strong na- tion to American recognition of reb- els, which is distinctly unfriendly and cannot be disguised by spacious offer of good offices. Spain is not strong but she is high spirited and will no doubt see in this action a determina- tion to force quarrel. We have hope in the firm attitude ,af President Cleveland's sober American feeling and that any action of America will not be taken in such way as to incur l reproach, but it has stirred instead oi healing the strife'
 The Sun says: ''If America recog- nizes Cuba the fate of Spains colonia empire and present monarchy will be decided next year, as it is hard to see how Spain can avoid responding to tht recognition by declaring war"
 1 PARIS, Dec. 19.-Le Jours says tht position of the Spanish government will be singularly critical, even des perate, in the event of a rupture witt the United States, and points out tt the arbitration faddists" that dem ocratic America has twice within { year been ready to pass from threats into action.

It looks little significant that Hon. Joseph Manley of Maine should drop quietly into the city while Mark Hanna was dining with eminent men and dic- tating matters generally as to Repub- lican affairs of national importance. Mr. Manley saw Hanna and talked with him. Later he went to the cap itol and saw members of congress from his own state. MT. Manley says he is not using any influence to help ambitious applicants for office. A man from California has just written the Augusta manager for help in securing consulship. To this MT. Manley re- piled that the applicant must depend upon California influence to pull down any plum for himself. If he had any influence it would be used when the proper time came to help the people of his own state.

We hope for union of the dit
ferent reform parties for the com
ing campaign; but before union
we want to see an evidence OF the
party asking for union having a
constituency. Take the silver par
tv for instance. Let us see its To-
cal primaries, it's county and state
conventions. Why should the Peo-
ple's party national convention try
to form a union with a convention
whose delegates are selected by
committees of of the Bi-Metallic
League, which are composed every
time of men who are with the old
parties on everything else but the
silver question
Bob Schilling, "our Bob" has
challenged Helen M. Cougar to de-
bate on Prohibition ; as the Grander
Age expresses it, "Bob tsking the
Milwaukee end of the argument "
Bob is usually level-headed, but
when he gets Helen started he'll
learn that monkeying with the buzz
saw is splintery work. We've seen
Helen in action.
Money is scarce everywhere
amongst the people of this country
but a recent U. S. treasury report
shows an available cash balance IN
that institution of 1886, S2O. 4O7,
and a gold reserve of 1924, O7a,926.
This policy of withdrawing and
locking up hundreds of millions OF
the medium of exchanging goods
and paying debts while industry
and business are paralyzed is what
the bankers and bondholders define
as "sound financial policy"
Why don't the doctors tap the veins
of the people and draw out a good
ly portion of their blood and bottle
it up and call that "sound physlc'
al policy ?" 1t would be just as
sensible as our financial policy, and
just as legal.
The more we study the industrl-
al problem, the more clearly we see
that most reform writers and speak
ers, ourselves included, have been
skimming around on the surface OF
things. The whole thing resolves
itself into this: The earth belongs
TO humankind as whole. Each
has a right to opportunity to pro-
duce the things that sustain life
and make it enjoyable. And having
produced it, they have right to
their full product. The young and
the old, and the invalid should be
tenderly cared for by the strong and
able. We are looking for some one
to logically disprove the above.
