"Lucl.r. Rnidwin,s Gnme.

THE biggest game of poker have heard
of in the past few years" said one of
the Californians at the capitol to the
Washington Post, was played in San
Francisco about two years ago between
Lucky Baldwin and a California cattle
man. The game was limited until one by
one the players dropped out until nobody
was left in but Baldwin and the cattle
man. They agreed TO waive the limit
and the cattle man set theapace. He want
ed to bet $4,000. Baldwin stayed and
offered to go him $4,000 better. The cat
tie owner scratched his head, and said
he didn't have that much to lose, but
he would like to put up his cattle as
collateral. Baldwin was agreeable, and
the cattle were assessed at $40 a head
Then the cattleman raised Baldwin S1O-
600. That made Baldwin scratch his head
and hem and haw little He said he
was in the same predicament as his
friend He didn't have quite that much to
lose.
- But said Baldwin, you know my
house on Market street giving the num-
Der of the property; well, I'll pit that
against 100 of your cattle, making total
of $1,000
The cattleman agreed and then it came
to a show down. The ruralist laid down
four queens. Baldwin laid down four
aces. 1t was the stiffest game of poker
played on the Pacific coast for many long
wears"

The Cuban ResoIntlon..

1t is not probable that the Presi-
dent will regard the Cuban res
olutions that will be passed by
congress as binding upon him. Neverthe-
less they cannot but have some influence
in determining his course of action If he
deems it advisable to recognize the Cubans
as belligerents he can now do so, feeling
that he has the support of congress-
He has been remarkably careful nota to
let it be known what his sentiments in
respect to the condition of affairs that ex-
list in Cuba are. 1t has been stated. that he
is not in favor of granting the Cubans
belligerent rights at this time, but it is
not known whether that statement is cor
rect or not.
1t can be stated quite positively that he
will take no action that promises to cause
trouble between this country and Spain.
He doesn't want war with that country.
1t is probable that Spain would not OBJ
ject to war with the United States if she
felt, assured she could not assert her au-
thority in Cuba She would rather be in
a position to say she lost the island in a
war with the United States than to ac-
knowledge her inability to put down the
Instruction. The President however, is
not likely to give her a chance to get into
war with this country.
The granting to the insurgents belliger-
eht rights would not be cause of war.
Spain would not be justified in being Of
Tended If the President should adopt that
course. She would require strict neutrality,
and as that might not be possible, serious
complications might, and perhaps would
arise.
1t is probable that the President will
do nothing at present but If the insur-
gents should gain an important victory,
or show ability for few months longer
to resist Spain, the chances are he would
accord to the insurgents the rights of bel
ligerents. He has authority to do what he
thinks is advisable in the matter. and he
is sure to be severely criticised whatever
he does.

If Savannah is to have vitrifed brick
pavements, it is highly important that
they should be properly laid. There is
great complaint with regard to the noisi-
ness of some brick paving in New York.
Ii seems that the joints were not properly
laid, making the surface rough, and that
soft cement was put on as a dressing to
fill the spaces between the bricks. A civil
engineer says that the effect was to make
the roadway a Continuous conductor of
sound. He says a bed of sand three or
four inches deep upon the foundation. the
brick upon the sand, and all of the inter
stices between the brick filled with sand.
instead of cement. would make the road
way a poor conductor of sound, and con-
sequently diminish the noise in a great
degree. 1t is not possible. however. TO
make brick pavements so nearly noiseless
as asphalt. But brick is cheaper and
cooler than asphalt The matter of lay
ing the pavements cannot be given TOO
careful consideration before the work is
begun. The surface should be as nearly
smooth as it is practicable to make it.
and the noisiness should be reduced to
a minimum.

Not a Nation of BuIlies.
From the Philadelphia Ledger dnd).

If the politicians in congress will drop
their iniammatory speeches, the sincerity
of which is open to grave suspicion, it will
be possible for them to do something
which will give moral support to Cuba
without giving Spain any just cause for
offense Our lingo orators just now are
giving the world the impression that the
United States is going about with a chip
on its shoulder and aching for fight. If
we want fight perhaps we can have il
without going far This country, however
is no aggering bully. Our people are
honestly impressed with the conviction
that, like charity, political duty begins at
home.

Warrior sherman's Retreat.
From the New York Post Qnd.l.

Populist Allen took pretty accurate
measure of Warrior Sherman yesterday,
when he said that the Ohio senator. he
guessed, thought the time had about come
for him TO make his usual retreat. He
made il with much muttering and scowl-
ing, but he made it, and those terribly ur-
gent belligerency resolutions, which a
month ago must pass instantly and with
out a word of debate, are all tied up again
and as far from passing as ever. The net
result up TO date is a fresh shock TO bush
ness, further discrediting of congress, and
special humiliation for the foreign rela-
tions committee.

government dispatch from Madrid
to the Spanish minister at Washington
announces that col. Marin has captured
all of the archives and documents of the
Cuban insurgent republic near Sanct Spir-
titus" That is a little queer. Only short
while ago it was asserted by the Spanish
minister at Washington, and in congress,
that there was no Cuban republic" That
being true, there could be no archives OF
any such government for Col. Marin TO
capture. 1t must be that the Spaniards
unexpectedly discovered a Cuban republic
while they were out in the woods one day.
1t is altogether too early to make up a
list of delegates to the St Louis conven-
ton for the purpose of showing who viii
be nominated, and asserting the correct
ness of the calculation. 1t appears that
Mckinley has a cinch on the situation.
But that is merely an outside appearance.
There will be a great many contested seats
in the convention. and there will be a
great opportunity for catching flies with
sugar after the delegates arrive in the
convention city. 1t is understood that
Speaker Reeds friends have asplenty of
money to use in his behalf They have used
mighty little of it so far. The probabilities
are that they will not knock the bung out
Of the barrel until st. Louis is reached. If
that is the programme, the Reed mana
gers are level headed. The bosses who
get the last pull upon the southern dele
gates are the ones who viii vote them.
