De LONE Will Fight.

Madrid his belief that Congress would never
pass these resolutions, he would better
burnish his excalibur and get ready for the
fray. Not that Spain will really go to
war with the United States, for even
Spain has sense enough not TO do SO foeI-
ish a thing however much there may be of
bluster, but it might come to pass that some
sort OF demonstration will be made, es-
peciaily if the President takes action as
is now expected in some quarters.
Mean while, however, the insurgents need
not lie awake of nights because of this
declaration Of Senor de Lome's belIicose
intent, but may take comfort to their hearts
and rejoice with exceeding great JOY that
the hour of their deliverance is drawing
nigh. Nothing is more certain than that
the Senate will do as the House has done,
and il the President follows in the line
hercinbefore indicated the jig is up for
SPAIN When the Cuban republic is recox-
nized by the United States and can re-
cruit men and buy ships, arms and ann
munition in open market, the insurgept
cause will receive such an impetus as to
make Spain's efforts to reduce them to
subsection more hopeless than ever. - ~

JEWELS OF MEMORY.
Second Edition Of Poet Joyce's Book
in Print.

in Print.
The second edition of "Jewels of Mem
ory'' was issued yesterday from the press
of the Gibson Bros. OF this city, and largely
distributed among the booksellers and
newsdealers OF the Capital.
TIE new paper and binding is better
than the last, and what greatly enhances
the value of the volume are the fine half
tone pictures of Gen. Nathaniel Lyon, Sher-
man, Grant and cunkling.
~Rebley Evans and his battleship Indiana
appear in the FaFrag gut aud Porte chapter,
and the well-kuown features OF glorious

The Arlington mansion appears in the
poetry chapter. The picture of Gen. John
c. Breckenridge, Weep re sident, U S. .
and Secretary Of War; c.. S A, adorus the
beginning of his chapter
Although the book was issued by sub
scription at the Capital, the demand for it
has been SO general that Col. Joyce pro-
poses to send it out to-tfe country and let
the great public judge of the merits of his
historical and biographical personal remi-
nisceuces OF the illustrious men he has met
during the past tfirty-fiye years.
Some. seventy five of the selected poems
of Col. Joyce appear in the back of the
book, and those who take a fancy in spcrt-
ing with the muses. may read his flights
| with profit and pleasure. The volume ha S
been greatly improved.

No one doubts the sincerity of Secretary
Carlisle in decliuing the Democratic Presi-
Dental nomination, and the only way TO
account for the ambiguity of his language
and the evident suspicion of the traditional
string is the possibility that his pen was
unduiy influenced by a .'Barkis is willin' !"
mahatma II is natural that every Cleye-
land Democrat should not only decline the
Chicago gold brick before the platform
builders make their report, but that, if
accepted at all, it should be with life
preserver proyiso. The convention will be
largely controlled by delegates from sec
tions where the silver sentiment dominates,
and should the platform declare for the
Cleveland financial policy the rough and
tumble way in which turtles fall off log

of the Democratic party.

the party can retain control of the White
House is by a skillful manipulation of the
financial plank of the platform. Should
the st. Louis convention declare for gold
a Democratic nominee, known to he a con-
servatiye silver man, might be elected,
but even in that event the way to the
Inauguration stand would not be strewn
with roses.
Mr. Carlisle was sincere, but like all men
who have enjoyed hOnors at the hands OF
his party the prospects OF SO important
nomination flattered him into the absurdity
Of writing IA letter OF declination that does
not absolutely decline. Should President
Cleveland deliver himself on that subject

evidence OF a mind that is willing but

money for offering to the dead. The pieces
are only half the size OF the real coins. but
the dead are supposed not to know the diff
ference. To make them, tin, hammered out
till it is not thicker than the thickest paper,

1t was only when foiled in their prosecution
