The gain in volume of business con-
tinues entirely without precedent,
says Dun's Reuie,0. More than 800 es-
adjustments which were idle have
started work since the election, and at
least 800 have increased wor king
force, making $50 concerns which are
known to have added largely to the
number of hands at work, and these
are only part of the whole number.
Every day thus adds thousands to the
number of those who are able to buya
weeks supplies, and to make up grad
ually for many months of enforced

The indications are that Mr.. Cleve-
land is goirg to have "hard shedding"
this winter. The silver democrats
blame him for Bryan's defeat and they
are determined to get all the revenge
they can in every way that they can.
Some of them advocate the hanging
up of every nomination sent to the
Senate by Mr.. Cleveland. Under the
circumstances, the republican sena-
tors cannot be expected to aid Mr..
Cleveland in any fight that he may
have with the silver senators, even if
they would not, by helping Mr.. Cleve-
land to get his nominations confirmed,
be depriving President Mckinley and
themselves of patronage.

1t is not, perhaps, so much the as
sumption of unlawful powers as by the
unwise or understandable use of those
which are most legal, that govern
ments oppose their true end and OBJ
ject; for there is such thing as ty
ranny as well as usurpation. You can
hardly state to me case to which
legislature is the most confessedly
competent, in which, if the rules of
benignity and prudence are not OBJ
served, the most mischievous and
oppressive things may not be done.
So that, after all, it is a moral and
virtuous discretion, and not any alb
stract theory Of right, which keeps
governments faithful to their ends

The sudden death of Representative
elect Harvey P. Hinckley, of Bluehill,
was shock to the entire county, and
the sad event is rightly regarded as
public calamity. Mr.. Hinckley was a
man of high moral character, of large
business capacity and of intense pub
lie spirit. Not Bluehill alone, but the
entire county, has suffered severe
loss, and the sympathy that goes out
to his stricken family is sincere and

that it establishes the Monroe doc

Cincinnati, Dec. ia special to the

Fighting is reported west of the trocha
in Pinar del Rio, where Gen. Rivera has
taken the field against the Spanish forces
left there by Gen. Weyler. No details
have been received yet, but fifty wounded
soldiers came on yesterday from the
neighborhood of Artemisa.
1t is said in Havana that Gen. Weyler
has called in some of the troops now
stationed outside the city, fearing an at
tack by Gen. Gomez, who is reported
coming east with large force.
The insurgents have already occupied
several small towns held by the Span
iards in the eastern part of Havana
province and have had hardly any de-
feats.
Two train loads OF arms were captured
by the insurgents on the Matazas road
with slight loss.
1t is reported that an expedition from
Honduras landed ON the south side of the
island with large supplies of ammunition
and arms and that the cargo was safely
delivered into the possession of Gen. Ri

VERY POOR DEFENsE

Washington, Dec. 15.-The following
dispatch from the Spanish minister of
foreign affairs in regard to the death Of
Maceo was made public today by Min
lister de LONE of Spain:
Madrid, Dec. 15.-To the Spanish Min
lister, ashington-Maceo's death took
place in loyal fight at Punta Bravo and
was caused by our soldiers bullets. This
is evidently proved by the letter written
by the son of Gomez, in which he states
that he killed himself in order not to
abandon the body of his general. The
handwriting of the letter has been veri-
fed, and also every detail of the fight.
Time and circumstances when Maceo
and the son of Gomez were wounded have
been published in Europe from Spanish
and foreign correspondents.

Mr.. Du Bosie, secretary of the legisla-
