Through an EnglIshmnn,s GIasses.

There are two sides to the Cuban ques-
ton, Of course. The people Of this coun-
try are tolerably familiar with the side
OF the Cubans, with whom they sincerely
sympathlze, and they have heard some
thing OF the Spanish side also They
know that Spain claims to have given
Cuba mothers protection, and to be
solicitous for the Islands well being-in
order that II may be taxed. But It re-
NAMED for an Englishman TO discover
and declare that Spain has really erred
on the side Of kindness and generosity.
For years" says he. Spain has spent
herself in strenuous efforts to blot out
the memories Of old wrongs and to recon
Gle her colonists to her dominion. And,
on the whole, she has governed Cuba with
rare benignity and wisdom. The old press
laws are abolished the suffrage has been
extended with an almost reckless gener-
osity; every man stand equal in the eye
of the law"
The Englishman who has made these
discoveries is j. Kelly, and
he writes Of them in the New Review.
He admits the beliigerency Of the Cubans,
and says they really have a grievance.
But not one man in a million-unless
Fitzma Kelly happened to be in the
million-would be able to guess the ma
ture of the real grievance" This is
what he says it is: That whites and
blacks drink-for. as Mr.. Ballou records,
your Cuban is a rare ginslinger-at diff
ferent bars"
AS might be supposed from the stand
point OF this rare Engiishman. the blacks
are thoroughly angry because the whites
take their gin in different bars and propose
to wipe out the insult. THE bald truth"
says he, sis that the revolutions sole
object is the extirpation of the white
man, More than four-ffths of the Cuban
rebels are negroes and half-breeds-
quadroons, mulattoes, griffes-bent upon
the establishment of a black republic"
And all because the whites will not drink
with them! Mr.. Fitzmaurice-Kelly would
probably have stepped up to the bar,
touched glasses with the colored gentle
men and drank a bumper to his health.
And thereby saved a bloody war!
much as he loves the Cubans. as is evil
denced by this: Speaking of sending of
hlibustering expeditions from the United
States he says: LAS long as the Cubans
can raise the spondulix they'll get plenty
of people to fit out expeditions for them
America, in fact. does not send fighting
men to Cuba; she sends professional ruff
fans and atrocity-mongers to levy black
mail by processes unknown to any civil
lied state. One syllable from Europe
one word from France and England-and
the vast majority of law-abiding citizens
would put a speedy close to lawless pro-
ceedings carried out by spectators and
winked at by demagogues who exploit
the ignorance of the average voter"
He also charges that the yankees take
advantage of the Cubans' necessities and
sell them condemned provisions. arms,
ammunition. shoddy uniforms and blan-
kets at the highest prices"
This view of the affair is ludcrous But
Englishmen are famous for losing the
point of a joke and for making themselves
ridiculous under serious circumstances.

TIC Wire-nnnnh nnIc

Experiments made in South Carolina
with wire as a binder for cotton
bales have not solved the problem
Of a substitute for the steel band.
Several wire-bound bales were sent to
Charleston. put through the congresses,
inspected by the cotton men and pro-
nounced in merchantable condition. The
wire was found to be a strong. pliable and
efficient binder. The factors in that city,
as elsewhere, being in sympathy with the
fight of the producers against the tie
trust, agreed to accept bales tied with
wire. like the sample bales sent in. At
the same time. the factors pointed out to
the producers that the wire ties were very
light. as compared with the standard
band ties. and that as the
weight of the ties counts in
with the weight of the bale at the price
Of the cotton it conains, the producers. by
using wire. would lose fifteen to twenty
five cents on each bale. If they were will
ing to pay that much per bale for the priv
ilege of fighting the tie trust with wire,
the factors had no objections.
III seems, from a report just issued Dy the
Charleston Cotton Exchange. that some
of the packers of cotton have made a
movement towards getting rid of the loss
in weight, to the end Of fighting the trust
without paying anything for the privilege.
Some bales recently received in Charleston
were bound. not with pliable wire, but
with iron rod! There was no loss of weight
on that. AS might be expected, the hand
ling of such bales in the congresses was
a matter of great difficulty. The rods
were stir, had no buckles, and nearly re-
quired the services of a blacksmith. When
bales so bound went into the congresses
the rods had necessarily to be removed and
new bindings, either Of wire or the old
standard bands. put on. The process OF
COMPRISING was therefore very slow, te-
dious and costly. While wire will do. iron
rod will not, as the regular binding mate
rial However, if packers insist upon us
ing the rod, congresses will handle the
bales at twenty-five cents a bale extra
The several cotton markets have shown
themselves TO be willing to do what they
can to thwart the purposes of the cottor
tie trust They have been. and are, will
ing to accept any substitute for the band
tie that will serve the purpose adequately
But it cannot be expected that iron rod;
| will be accepted.

Bishop WhippIe.

good story is told on the venerable
Bishop Whipple, says the Wabash Her
aid. The scene is laid in St. PAU and the
story runs as follows:
One evening in the fall and after DARK,
as the bishop was walking along the
street, he noticed a little fellow trying
to ring the door-bell of a fine residence.
He was too short to do any more than
reach it and, although he stood on his
tiptoes and stretched vigorously, no sound
came from the bell. The kind-hearted
prelate felt called upon to assist him, ana
so, ascending the steps, asked
shall l help you my little MANI"
The boy intimated that such a course
would be gratifying to him and the bishop
rang the bell. Thereupon the little fellow
remarked:
Now, we'd better run ike - and
decamped as rapidly as possible.
1t took the bishop just a moment to re-
member that is was HaHow' cen, and It -
said that he made tracks and got around
the corner about as rapidly as did the
boy.

Doesn't Look Like Giving Up.
From the Pittsburg Post (Dem.)

1.-The democrats have given up Illinois"
is the cry Of the republicans. They say
the same daily about some state or other.
To show the way democrats have given
up Illinois, it is announced that the state
committee has planned a campaign of the
state for Bryan and Altgeld. commencing
on Oct p and lasting ten days. Rallies
have been arranged in all parts OF the
state on schedule time, so that Mr.. Bryan
and the governor will make at least one
joint appearance in every county in the
state. In Chicago for the last two weeks
OF the canvass not less than 100 meetings
per night win be held. Bryan and Altgeld
VIII make at least a dozen Of speeches.

Tommy seized the potato between a
thumb and finger. and before his mother
could utter a Mortified remonstrance he
had tossed il across the table and square

"One strike" quoth the good man.

Mai. Mckinley, and the managers Of his
! campaign. are making a bold departure
"a bold bluff, it might probably be called
They are assuming that the silver
craze" has about run its course; that it
is on the wane, and therefore the tariff
may be taken up again and maintained as
the leading issue until the end OF the cam
paign. Evidence of this is found in
speeches Nos. so TO 81, of the series being
delivered daily TO pilgrims to Canton.
These speeches especially referred TO were
delivered on Saturday last, and the burd N
of them was tariff, whether the cand!-
date CHANGED to be addressing the Cleve-
land Bicycle Club, the employees of the
Standard Manufacturing Company. The
employees of the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company or the Stamina Republican
League of Cincinnati 1t was tariff, tar
if. tariff, all the time with here and
there a reference to the full dollar"
the 'best money in the world" and so on.
1t is probable that the managers Of the
democratic campaign would ask nothing
better than to have their opponents go
right along upon the line indicated. Tho
democrats know, and the voters who are
open to conviction know, that the issue is
not tariff and that any effort on the part
of the republicans to switch it off TO the
tariff will be futile. II the republicans
assume false air Of security and conf
dence it Will mlslead nobody except their
own veters-voters who would vote the
republican ticket under any and all cir
cumstapces. The democratic managers
win continue upon the line mapped OUT
by the convention and followed during the
canvass so far.

This to All Sufferers in savannah

ON Thursday.
The majority of sufferers from asthma
and kindred complaints, after trying doc
tors and numberless remedies advertised
as positive cures without avail, have
come to the conclusion that there is no
cure for this most distressing disease. and
these same persons will be the more in
doubt and skeptical when they learn
through the columns of the press that
DR.. Rudolph Schiffmann. the recognized
authority who has treated more cases NJ
these diseases than any living doctor. has
achieved success by perfecting remedy
which not only gives immediate relief in
the worst cases, but has positively cured
thousands Of sufferers who were consid-
cred incurable. These were just as skep-
teal as some of our readers now are. DIR.
Schiffmann's remedy no doubt possesses
the merit which is claimed for it or he
would not authorize this paper to an
nounce that he is not only willing to give

ma. hay fever, or bronchitis in this civ

claim he does for his cure, a strong doubt

more convincing, and prove its merits.

timonials from persons who have been per-
manently cured by the use of his asthma
cure. ''Dr. Schifmann's Asthma Cure. 'as
it is called, has been sold by druggists of
this city ever since it was first introduced
although many persons may never have
heard of it, and it is with a view to reach

is certainly a most generous and fair
Offer and all who are suffering from any

They Are Getting Angry.
From the Mobile Register Dem.).

The middle-of- the-road populists are
getting so angry that they are really dan
gerous. Watson is so exasperated that
for very little he would declare war up
on the head of his ticket. He is violently
opposed to Mr. Sewall on political grounds.
No doubt there are others of the same
frame Of mind See, for example, the In
diana populists who propose to use legal
means TO preserve the populist electoral
ticket intact and defeat fusion that has al
ready been agreed upon. If that sort of
thing starts, no one knows what. will be
the end Of it.

seems that they are old friends, and ap-
preciate each other highly. notwithstand-
ing they are Numerically opposed to each
other on the money question. Both were
in Chicago the other day, unbe-
known to each other. A reporter
saw the bishop and asked him what he
thought OF Teller's course in the cam

be mentally inhrm, was the reply. Later
the reporter saw the senator and asked
him about Bishop Newmans anti-silver
utterances. "He is too smart a man to
believe what he has been preaching; he
must be crazy" In this matter. it may

They Are in n Dilemma.
From New Orleans Daily States Dem.).

The Mckinley people are in a serious
dilemma and at a loss which of the horns
to take. If they claim that his election
will help the farmers by increasing the
price of their products they are fearful of
driving Off the wage-earners; whereas if
they assure the latter that the success of
the republican ticket win benefit them by
lowering the price of farm products, the
affections Of the farmers will be alienated.
In this emergency they adopt the char
acterlstically rascally scheme of distribu-
ting one class of campaign literature
among the farmers and another class
among the laboring men.
