WHY Spain win Lose Cuba.

Very little confidence was placed in the
Herald's dispatch, published a few days
ago that it was announced in Madrid
that Spain would abandon Cuba, If she
did not succeed in putting down the rev.
olution by March l. The Herald of Tues
day contains a dispatch to the effect that
the Spanish government declares that
there is no foundation for the statement,
and that Spain will continue the war
until she re-establshes her authority in
the island
But unless Spain gets money from some
source, how is she TO continue the war
much longer? That is a question that is
being very generally asked in Europe
The other day the Spanish cabinet caused
it to be announced that it had decided to
postpone the execution Of any agreement
that might have been entered into for the
large loan which the government was
empowered to negotiate about six weeks
ago. The reason Of this announcement
is well understood. Spain has found 1t
impossible to negotiate a loan. The
money lenders of Europe, by refusing to
consider the question of loaning Spain
any more money, practically say that they
do not believe she can re-establish her
authority in Cuba. If she cannot do that,
and thus saddle the cost of the war on
Cuba, she has a greater load of debt now
than she can successfully carry.
If the insurgents are able, therefore, to
continue the war awhile longer Spain will
have to abandon Cuba. She cannot carry
on the war a great while without money.
She may have to abandon the island be-
fore March l, whether she wants to or
not.
The insurgents understand the situation
very well, and so do their friends in this
country and elsewhere. and doubtless they
are putting forth every effort to make
successful resistance until SPANS fnan-
cial resources are exhausted. A great
victory might help Spain get a loan but
there is no prospect of her winning such
a victory

Il took care of it. You know men are
always making disagreeable remarks about
women's watches, and when my husband
gave me mine he said it would probably

just made up my mind to show him that
there was one woman in the world who
knew how to take care of a watch"

Henry Georre,s Conclusions.

Mr.. Henry George, who was the labor
candidate for mayor Of New York a few
years ago, returned to that city last Sat
urday. from five weeks tour of obser-
walton in the middle west and gave it as
his opinion that Mr.. Bryan viii carry
the doubtful states and be elected. One
mans opinion is not Of course worth
much in a great contest like that which
is in progress in this country but Mr..
George had exceptionable opportunities
for finding out the political sentiments of
working men and farmers. Being a
writer on labor topics. and having been
a candidate of the labor party for mayor
of New York, he had no difficulty in get
ting at the real political sentiments of the
labor leaders of the west.
Mr.. George is not particularly interest
ed in the cause Of silver. He says frank
ly that he does not think free silver COIN
age would remedy the evils of which there
is now so much complaint. His judgment
therefore is not biased by any particular
leaning towards silver.
When Mr.. George left New York for
the west. to write letters and send dis
patches to the New York Journal, he
was of the opinion that Mckinley would
be elected He stated this opinion very
frankly to the editor of the Journal, and
said TO him that if he was expected to
show the situation to be otherwise than
he found it, he would not undertake the
service required of him. He was assured
that he was at liberty to write what his
judgment dictated. With that under
standing he spent five weeks in the states
of the middle west, and became convinced
that the majority sentiment was clearly
in favor of Mr.. Bryan and free silver
coinage.
1t is true that if what appears in the
dispatches can be relied upon, McKin-
ley is quite certain to be elected, but 90
the authors of these dispatches see the
situation as it actually is? Is it not fact
that serving newspapers that favor the
gold standard they color their dispatches
to suit the views of the readers of the pa
pers they serve? If such is not the case,
it seems strange that such careful and
conservative observer as Mr.. George, who,
in the early part of September was sat
isfed that Mr.. Mckinley would be elected,
became convinced after careful inquiry
and observation that Mr.. Bryan has much
the better chance of being the next Pres
idpnt

We'll 10 Rememher.

What is good for one is not always good
for another. This is illustrated in a short
tale told some time ago about a French
medical student, says Harper's Round Ia
BILE. While in London on visit the stu
dent lodged in the house with a man very
sick with a fever. who was continually
besieged by his nurse to drink very nau-
seating liquids which were lukewarm. The
sick man found this almost impossible to
do, until one day he whispered to his
nurse:
Bring me a salt herring and I will
drink as much as you please"
The woman INDUCED him in his request:
he ate the herring, drank the LIQUIDS. I'M
derwent the required Precipitation and re-
covered.
The French student, thinking this very
clever, inserted In his journal. salt her
ring cures an Englishman of fever"
on his return to France he prescribed
the same remedy to his first pa tient with
a fever. The patient died. On which he
inserted in his journal: IN B.-A salt
herring cures an Engllshman, but kills a
Frenchman."

watching For the star.

The first act of the burlesque was about
half over, says the Washington Post,
when the country cousin leaned over and
asked:
"Who is the star of this play?"
Cant tell yet" replied the city rela-
tive, glancing at his programme. mo
one of them has her name in any bigger
type than the Others"
How about the costumes?" asked the
country cousin.
The city relative shook his head. Cant
tell anything by them in this piece" he
said. mo one of them outshines the
others.
mo one seems to act any better than
the others" suggested the country cou-
sin.
mo, all are equally bad"
But the bill boards said that the famous
Mile. Russell has been specially engaged
for this play" protested the country cou-
sin. How in the world are we going to
know which is she?"
"Hushr' said the city relative, in his
superior way. "All we have to do is to
wait for the tableaux at the end of the
first act and see who takes the center or
the stage"

He Forgot His Brides Name.

Say, please hold on there, my friend
Wait till go home and get her last name
I'll be back before long,"
This was the funny exclamation made
by man in the probate court Thursday
after he had entered his own name and the
given name of his prospective wife on the
license book, says the Cleveland Plain
Dealer.
Clerk Schwab who was dispensing the
young mans wants. looked up startled
1t was one of the most amusing things
he had run across in his diversified career
behind the counter. After Vainly trying
to suggest the missing name ne agreed
there was nothing left but to go home
after it.
The young man was Engene Murphy.
He dictated and spelled out the name of
his intended. 1t was A-u-g-u-s-t-a -.
But there it suddenly stopped. Murphy
pushed, looked slightly-just slightly
disturbed turned all sorts of colors in a
minute and finally thought he'd give it
up. That is precisely what Clerk Schwab
did. After tarrying with his pen in hand
for few minutes he told the young man
to come back after he knew whom he
was going to marry.
Meanwhile an interrogation point was
left as substitute for the troublesome
appendage. Better make it What d. YOU
call her?' suggested a bystander. Per-
haps 1t would have fitted the case to a

Were you ever in such predicament? ?"
mildly queried Murphy. Say, but it's
tough. boys. She'll think am forgetting
her thus early. But I'm not. 1 hope you
will fare better
Then he departed to solve the fateful
conundrum.
1t seems Murphy did solve it. Later in
the day the missing name was found on
the register. Only the difference in the
shade of the ink remained to tell the tale
of a prospective husbands plight. The
full name was Augusta Krentz.

VIII There BE Fusion in Georgia

VIII There BE Fusion in Georgia 2
1t is settled that the democrats and
populists in this state will not fuse. The
question now is, viii the populists and
republicans fuse? They will not on the
electoral ticket If Mr.. Watson can pre-
vent it. He is going to stand by Bryan to
the last, and fusion would mean a Nc
Kinley and Watson ticket There is
ground for saying that some Of the popu-
list leaders are ready to fuse with the re-
publicans. They think such a combna-
ton would beat the democrats, and moth
ing would give them so much satisfaction
as to defeat the democratic party.
We do not, however, think that the
popullsts win fuse with the republicans
on the electoral ticket, but we should
not be surprised IL even now there were
negotiations in progress for fusion in re.
spect to congressman. Col. Buck, the re.
publican leader in this state, says that
the republican factions have adjusted
their differences and are now willing to
work together in harmony That being
the case. it is possible for the republi-
cans to get out a pretty big vote in some
of the congressional districts. That vote.
together with the populist vote, provided
the populists heartily accepted fusion.
might give the democrats good deal Of
trouble in those districts.
stll, the democrats have no occasion
to be alarmed. In the event of fusion
they would be compelled to work a little
harder in order to secure success. A
big vote of populists and republicans could
not be got to the polls in any district
because the populists wouldn't feel much
interest in a gold standard and protec-
zion candidate. Nor would a republican
be anxious to see free silver and free
trade popuhst elected to congress. There
fore, the democrats have nothing to fear
from any schemes which the populists
and republican leaders have in view for
getting portion OF the congressman from
this state.

DR.. FeIton,s Chnnge of Rnse.

The announcement of DIR. FELTON,, one of
the populist electors. that he withdraws
his name from the populist ticket and that
he intends to support Mr.. Mckinley, ought
not to excite a great deal of surprise. Dr.
FELTON, has never hesitated to act upon
his convictions He dc es not permit party
lines to keep him in a beaten track
The suggestion is thrown out that his
withdrawal from the populist electoral
ticket is the beginning of a movement of
the popuHsts of this state to the republic
can ticket because of the refusal of the
democratic party to accept the populist
fusion proposition. We do not think there
is any foundation for the suggestion DR..
FELTON, is not a man to abandon his con-
victions for any such reason as that indi-
Gated. If he were satisfied with the popu-
list party and it's principles he would re-
main with it under any and all circum-
stances.
DIR. FELTON, is extreme in whatever views
he entertains. The extreme men are the
ones who change their views the most
readily and who, when they do change,

DR.. FELTON, held extreme populistic views.
That being the case, If he has Joined the
republican party, the chances are that he
will become a very radical republican.
But 1t doesn't follow that because DR..
FELTON, has decided to support Mr.. McKin-
ley, any considerable number of other pop
ulists will do so. A change from populism
to republicanism is very great change,
and is not likely to be made by all the pop
ulists of the state before the election. In
deed, if the populist party were to go to
pieces it is probable that more of its men,
bers would drop back into the democratic
party than would go to the republican
party, although there is one feature of re-
publican doctrine that appeals strongly to
popullsts, namely, paternalism. However,
there is no probability that the populists
will support Mr.. Mckinley.
