1AumbIe singer sang little song
Years, years ago.
Now Ger her lowly grave the bramble

Her memory In no living heart remains,
Yet her song lives,

Sweet comfort gives.

PROTECTION is BLOCKED.

If the effect of the bolt of the
silver Republicans were confined to
the probable loss of five or six small
Western States there might be eX-
cuse for Republican sneers and ex-
pressions of JOY over the Teller
split.
But in addition to the speculative
effect of the bolt on the Presi-
Dental election it has i certain and
disastrous effect on the legislative
plans of the Republicans. AS The
Republic pointed out on the morn
ing following the bolt, it completely
blocks the accomplishment of Re-
publican legislation in accordance
with the party's pledges.
The four United States Senators
who have repudiated the Republican
platform hold the balance of power
in the Senate and there is no reason.
able probability of such a change in
the Senatorial situation within the
next four years as will enable the
Republicans, if they should elect
Mckinley and a majority OF Repre-
sentatives, to legislate without the
consent of the Senatorial boilers.
These boiling Senators are pub
licly pledged to place the interests
of silver above all other political
considerations. The price of their
support of Republican legislative
programme would be the adoption
of a free silver law.
The Republicans are thus at the
opening of the campaign confronted
with the certainty Of a failure to
redeem their pledges. Their cam
paign for protection will be fruit
less. Their platform is mockery.
Mckinley will be unable to reward
his financial hackers.
Senator Teller and his adherents
have turned the Republican cam.
paign into a mere scramble tor
official spoils. Louis Republic.

Centuries ago people used to fear
what they called the pestilence.
"Black Death" was the most terri
BILE thing IN the world to them,
They feared it as people now fear
the cholera and yellow fever. And
yet there is a thing that causes
more misery and more deaths than
any OF these, It is so common that
nine-tenths of all the sickness in
the world is traceable to it. 1t is
merely that simple, common thing,
constipation, 1t makes people list
less, causes dizziness, headaches,
loss of appetite, loss of sleep, foul
breath and distress after eating.

Think of it, the crime of murder
has increased tenfold in this couns
try since 1886. The st. Louis Re-
public gives statistical figures in
proof of this horrible fact, and
says the crime is fast becoming pop

one in twenty suffer any penalty
whatever. 1t gives the figures since
1890, as to number of murders, as
follows. 1890, 1890 1891, 5906; 1892,

ANOTHER ASSIGNMENT.
Miller & Son Make an Assignment
 For the Benefit of Creditors.

About 5:3O o'clock yesterday afternoon Miller & Son, under takers, doing business at No. 220 West Barraque street, made an as signment to Sheriff c. H. Triplett for the benefit of creditors. Con- trary to the general rule, there were no preferences whatever, therefore all creditors will share alike, Lia- bilities about $1 200, with assets fully $2, 900.
 The assignment was made because the assignors did not care to further continue business at a loss and concluded that the manner they adopted was the best way to discontinue business and settle all outstanding claims.

THE CUBAN WAR. fe

1t is practically impossible to get
any accurate knowledge of the con-
dition of affairs in Cuba. The Spanish h
authorities suppress or divert every
fact that in any way shows success of
the insurgents or is uDfavorable to
Spanish success. On the other hand
such news as is sent cIandestinely by
the insurgents is probably highly
seasoned with untruth. Consequent
ly it takes weeks Or months to get at
the true state Of affairs. Recently
the Spanish commander, Weyler, set
out with a large army determined to
defeat or drive Maceo, the rebel com
mander, and his forces from the
western paat of the island. His army
is supposed to have numbered about
$4,000. For some days no news was
heard from him. Later it was be-
lieved that he had met with disaster,
and in few days he returned to
Havana for unknown reasons. A
large number of sick and wounded
were sent in but no prisoners. From
these facts it seems that he has met
but not conquered the resolute rebels
who carry on a guerilla warfare
and there to strike bio ws and inflict
attacks which are annoying and
destructive but not sufficient to con-
quer the invading forces. The rebels
are using dynamite with great eff ect,
and sharpshoOters are cutting down
the Spanish forces considerably
Maceo, with much the smaller force
can easily evade his prusuer, while
he is constantly dominating his
forces. It is an unequal contest both
ways. The Spanish have the larger
forces. but the rebels have the ad-
vantages knowing the country and
a chance to harass, while they cannot
be fought as armies. Meanwhile
Gomez with large insurgent army
is sail to be appro aching Havana
from tie eastern part of the island
will be likely TO do great damage if
he1does not take Havana itself. The
reports mus. be terribly false or the
Spanish are exercising great cruelties
"a thing which they delight to do
all over the island. The Spanish gov
ernment is terribly exercised against
the United States because there is SO
much sympathy here for the Cubans;
and there are rumors OF war. As if
the poor, crippled defeated old mon
archy should attempt war with the
United States when she canDot con

THE ASYLUM SCANDAL.

The whole State will feel incensed
and mortified, if indeed not horrifed
over the Investigations made and the
report of the legislative committee,
which has investigated the charges
against the o fficials of the Insane
Asylum at Waterbury. We give the
gist of the report in another column
The asylum is new one; it has been
built at a great cost to the state and
is not yet completed. It will, in the
nature Of the case, be a burden Of ex-
pense from year to year. The un-
fortunate class of people which it has
been made to care for and to restore
to health, when that can be done, de-
serves the pity of all our people. That
they could be put into an asylum,
which should be under careful and
tender supervision, has been pleas
ant thought to the people of the
state. Extensive as has been the in
stitution to date, aud heavy as will be
the expense Of maintaining it, no one
cared for. or will care for, the ex-
pense, if the insane sent there can be
we'll and kindly treated, and if such
skill, costly as it may be, shall
be used as will restore the durable to
health. But to have it turn out that
during the first years of it's existence
there should be such neglect, treat
ment and downright abuse, possibly
a case Of manslaughter, is a thing
which arouses the indignation o. the
people. If DR.. Giddings is guilty Of
the negligence reported and the
cruelties sworn to he ought to be ar
raigned by the courts and made an
example Of, which will deter other
men from following in his course. If
the Commissioners have been so
neglectful of duties, as to permit the
alleged state of affairs to exist, every
one of them ought to be removed
from the board. They are good men,
but they have placed too much con-
fdence and imposed too much trust
on the superintendent, and as a re-
suit all this wrong has been done and
all this scandal has arisen. They had
a difficult and delicate work to do.
but theyi accepted the Office with
knowledge of the responsibility i'm
posed, and duty and humanity de-
mand that they should have looked
after their trust
