A BETTER FEELING.

The New York journal of Commerce
OF yesterday prints interviews with a
number OF responsible dry-goods mer-
chants of that city, which show that du-
ring the past few days there has been
a perceptible change for the better in the
business sentiment In dry-goods circles.
According 10 q ,se merchants. the i'm
provement. while due in a measure TO
tho sound-money assurance given by the
st. Louis convention, is the result in
greater measure of "the demonstration
which rendered imperative an unequivocal
declaration, and which showed that the
currency issue is one In which the pub
Tic interest and particularly the inter
est Of businessmen, has become fully
aroused"
Our contemporary, in treating these in
tervlews editorialy. says there has also
been n decided change In the general
sentiment regarding the business out
look. AS 20 the dry-goods trade, spe-
cifcally, II remarks that buyers, who
have been timorous In making provision
for fall. are throwing of some of their
reserve. and are displaying more conf
dence In the future. An immediate ex-
pansion Of business on general lines may.
adds the Journal. in conclusion. be too
much TO look for; but there has been suf-
1clent Improvement 70 fully justify the

THE SITUATION.

Surely. there is strange condition OF
things prevailing in this country just now.
The fact that Wisconsin Democrats de-
clare for the gold single standard, whilst
Illinois Democrats declare with equal en-
phasis for the silver single standard,
shows that the times are indeed out OF
| Joint.
The silverites grow more and more ag-
gressive as time passes. III they 80 on
as they have during the last few months
there Is no telling where they VIII land'
All talk. however. about any trouble that
may arise between the Republicans and
the silver men may as well be dismissed.
The Republicans secured the control OF
their national convention. and there and
then proceeded TO settle all their internal
difficulties at once. They have nothing
TO fear I'm the future.
on the other hand. the Democrats have
all their troubles before them. Their
convention will not meet until the 18th OF
July. but. In the mean time, all manner
OF crude propositions viii come up In pri-
vate conferences for consideration. Look
at the length OF the Illinois Democratic
State Conventions platform-a fun col
umn in the Dispatch. But, Of course, all
this platform is not devoted TO the sill
yer question.
Look at Mr. Whitney's prediction that
there are likely TO be two free-silver nomi-
nees or candidates. We mention this
prediction because Mr.. Whitney Is so
shrewd a politician and so thoughtful
statesman that he does not speak at
random.
In the mean time, what Is the duty of
all good Democrats? First, to see to
IT that they are themselves rooted and
grounded in the faith of Jefferson, Jack
son, and their true followers, and then
to see TO It that no good Democrat VIII

nomination 10 be made on the 1th OF

EITZ LEE AND CIuA.

The washington Post, the New York
Journal, and other papers have published
what purport TO be extracts from a
private letter which Fitz Lee is said to
have written to a relative living in Wash
ington. in which the Consul-General at
Habana is represented as speaking OF
the Spanards in severely condemnatory
terms.
1t is unlike General Lee to have written
such letter. and we do not wonder that
the State Department gives as its opinion
that the letter is an invention. More
over, we may reasonably suppose that the
department telegraphed Lee and got Lees
answer before It gave its statement to
the press. quite naturally. the depart
ment would be anxious TO be assured
that Lee had said or written nothing that
would make him persona non grata" to
Spain.
The fact that Lee had written such a
letter to a relative or friend, and that
that person had imprudently or treache-
rously permitted its publication, would
not alter the case. Under circumstances
of that character, President Cleveland
demanded and secured the recall OF Sack
Vile West, the British Minister to this
country. But, as we have said. the best
information at hand is that the letter In
question is fake" and we shall expect
the Post and Journal, as soon as they
have satisfied themselves Of the fact, to
apologize to General Lee for having
credited false information.
There has been a great deal Of sensa-
tional stuff sent out from Habana and
Washington of late about General Lee
1t was very widely published that he had
forwarded to the President a report which
would cause important action TO be taken
by this country; also, that this report
was in the hands Of Mr.. Ryan, to be de-
livered to the President. General Bradley
#. johnson telegraphed the New York
Journal that he is authorized to say that
Lee has written no such report, and has
employed no such messenger.
We suppose the newspaper correspond
ents were told that Mr.. Ryan was an
intimate friend Of the President and
General Lee both, and with this informa-
ton TO start with filed in the rest out Of
the vast resources Of their imaginations
II is not right that the public mind should
be disturbed with such stories. Nor is II
right that General Lee should be made
the subject Of so much baseless guessing
and silly theorizing. A censor of Cuban
news" is more. needed at this end Of the
line than at the other.

These are the ranges OF the rural gods.
Unknown Of men, save TO some simple
souls
Who feed on sweetness. knowing they

Who take life's bitterness as doth a
knight
Some potent philter for the body's good.
Tall forms and noble, white within the
shade.
Trailing all duskily from tangled leaves
Wen back beyond the forests lowered
Fair gods are those adrlft beneath the
vines,
OF woodlands canopled with dark-red
grapes.
There walk the gods with streaming locks
Of gold;
There let them wander for dewy morn,
Gre pinioning again TO regal skies.

With notified alders banked and pungent

I cast my hook for speckled. square-tail-

The Water We Drink.

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
1t is only a question Of time, and that
time is not far distant, when we shall
have clean water TO drink at least To
obtain this boon some one has TO COM
mence with the kicking. Hence, l here
with offer this as the first kick, ana trust
that every man, woman, and child, yes
every living thing that uses water, even
the Committee on Water themselves, VIII
raise their voices in crying down such
stuff as we are now paying for and which
we are entirely unable to use. The
trouble can be remedied and must DC,
and il must be by those who by force q,
necessity are compelled TO use it.
l know that the Dispatch, with It's ever
ready willingness, will do all in its power
to help the poor unforturates whose
means will not allow them to buy other
waters or 90 where healthy drinkable
water can be obtained.
The mortality alone. which Ia. In my
opinion. caused largely by the water
which we are compelled to drink, should
be sufficient appeal for n change.
How would IT do for every consumer Of
this rich. yellow mud (surey it Is not

The tariff Is not, and cannot be made
the issue i'm the campaign which VIII be
opened next month. The issue is money
and nothing else. We can understand
that Mr.. Mckinley and his manager, Mr..
Hanna. would like to have the tariff made
the overshadowing question; but 1t Is
not, and there's the end OF 1t.
so says one OF our exchanges. The
late experience Of the silverites tells them
that as I'm the case of silver. the voters
can have their own way. The people are
not as manageable as they were a year
AGO. They have learned much during
the last twelve months.

A visitor from Manchester had been
invited to address the Sunday school.
Il am reminded, children" he said.
"of the career of boy who was once
no larger than some of the little fellows
/ see before me. He played truant when
he was sent to school, went fishing every
Sunday, ran away from home when he
was 10 years old, learned to drink. smoke
tobacco, and play cards. He went into
bad company. frequented stables and low
tap-rooms; finally mecame a pickpocket,
then a forger, and one day, in a tit or
drunkenness, he committed a cowardly
murder Children" he continued impress

NJ. Cocherys proposition that the
French Government shall tax the out
ward signs OF wealth is not new one
by any means. 1t is a tax which, how
ever. has never been levied on this side
of the Atlantic. In this country we nave
tried to lay taxes so that they may fall
upon the taxpayers in proportion to their
wealth. Perhaps the taxpayers would
prefer a tax on the outward signs OF
wealth to an income-tax. Who knows?
