ency Of the Cubans. Addressing the
Senate on the resolution be spoke in part
as follows: "Spsin knows just ss well
as the rest Of the world that the letters
with which she has bound Cuba since the
island was discovered by Columbus have
coiroded until they are rusting off the
limbs Of that people. These shsckels
have become disreputable, even in the
contemplation Of Spain herself. Bot her
pride causes her to hold Cuba by the
throat and throttle her. She cannot con-
sent to lift her bloody fingers from the
neck OF her victim or to accord to her
the rights Of war crystallized and n
tilted in the mare Of constitutional lib
erty. She cannot afford to do 30. She
is not going to do il.

Spain knows and feels it. But she would
rather lose Cuba at the point Of the
sword in conflict with the United States
than have us pay for it, or have the Gu
bans achieve their independence. She
would thank MS TO take it up at the point
Of the sword. And that is why l say
that l believe that any step in that direc'
ton would only anticipate results.
II is our duty to draw the sword, lay
il on the table and say to Spain: III you

THE LATE RISE In SILVER.

New York bank. A late New York dis.
patch has the following to say regarding
the late rise: Authorities on silver say
the advance in the price is in no sense
due to speculation. Exchange on India
at London is now at the highest point
after a steady advance for the past thirty
days. The largely decreased production
Of the white metal has naturally de
pleted the supplies on hand, while low
prices have tended TO increase the de-
mand for use in the arts. London is now
a large bidder for silver in this market,
but finds the metal scarce. One Of the
Oldest bullion houses in the street has
recently stated that heavy transactions
for thirty, sixty and ninety days were
made within the last few days, and bust
ness in future transactions the last three
weeks has been the heaviest noted by
the firm during its existence"

In which gold and silver are found together

II is asserted that the Senate substi-

ton OF Senator Jones Of Arkansas. Be.
fore its passage the Governor had nearly

The Journal is q fierce gold bug pa
per, and is insistent in its claim that
"the free silver craze is dying out"
But it seems the ''free silver craze" was
strong enough to reinstate Senator
Jones instantly, in spite Of all adverse
~machination; he recovered all his lost
ground at once, through the power OF
free silver. That looks like 9 pretty
square admission that the silver senti-
mens is ~all-powerful, at least in Arksn-
