The Sop 90 the Mine Owners.
From the New York Times Dem.).

The notion that the silver mine owners

been year since 1858 that this country
has not exported more silver than 81 i'm

the ten months OF this year than ever

Ell Correo Militar (the Military Journal
of Madrid, which demands the recall of
Gen. Weyler from Cuba, is the organ of the
army. In Spain at this time the press
censorship is very rigid. That the feeling
in the army against Weyler should have
been permitted expression through the col
umns of the army's recognized organ is
regarded as meaning much; in fact, that
Weyier's days as commander-in-chief in
Cuba are numbered.

II the Spanish newspapers IN Havana
have a correct idea of public sentiment
among Spaniards of that city the belief
prevails that American sympathy for the
Cuban insurgents is due to a subsidized
press. A belief Of that sort shows how
little the condition Of affairs in this coin
try is understood in Havana. A lead
ing Havana newspaper, La Lucia, ac-
cordng to our Havana dispatches yester-
day. is convinced that if the Spanish gov
eminent should employ the newspapers of
this country to uphold the Spanish view
of the war in Cuba American sympathy
cally states that the American news
papers are in the pay of the insurgents,
and that that is the reason why there is
such a strong feeling in this country for
the insurgents.
That sort of stun may be believed in
Havana, though why intelligent people
should believe it is a mystery. Where
would the insurgents and their friends
get the money with which to buy up the
newspapers? They haven't anywhere near
as much money for legitimate purposes
as they would like to have, and to subsi-
die the newspapers of the United States,
if they could be subsidized, would cost
more money than the Cubans in this coun-
try have as yet been able 10 collect into
their treasury. If the Havana paper
thinks it is an easy matter to control the
utterances of American newspapers let
the Spanish government undertake to con-
troll them in the interest of Spain. 1t ad-
vises Spain to do that, but it is probable
that the Spanish government has TOO
much good sense to attempt to do anything
of that kind. The Spanish minister In
Washington, If he should approach the
leading papers of the country for the pur-
pose of inducing them to advocate SPANS
side In the Cuban war, would find he had
undertaken a task altogether too great
for his diplomatic abilities. In most in
stances he would meet with such rebuffs
that he would quickly come to the con-
clusion that it is not so easy to influence
the utterances of American newspapers
as the Spaniards seem to think it is. There
are. of course. newspapers that can be
induced for money to uphold almost any
cause, but the vast majority of them are
honest. They cannot be hired to advo-
cate cause in which they do not believe.

CURRENT COMMENT.

To Secure Unanimous Agreement.
From the Columbia Is. CO State (Dem.).
'It is questionable which are the more
bloodthirsty, the Spaniards in Cuba or
the dispensary constables in South Caro-
lima Charlotte Observer This, apropos
of Kelly's killing. But how does the OBJ
server know that the constables are
bloodthlrsty? The constables, like Mai.
Cirujeda, say that everything was fair,
and Kelly, like Maceo. has not denied il.
There is no better way of securing unani-
nous agreement upon ones story than
shooting ones opponent to dumbness.

The Illinois Central railroad is working
on a plan TO make its employees stockhold-
ers, and therefore partners in the enter
prise. a similar plan. the Philadelphia

Franklin b. Gowen when he was president
Of the Reading railroad. He urged his
men to purchase the stock OF the compa-
ny-a majority Of 1t If posslble-and thus
become the owners of the road. The di-
rectors of the Illinois Central, it is said.
favor the plan. because they think it
would solve the strike problem. teach the
men to work with economy and abolish
the antagonism between capital and la
Dor. The theory seems to be all right.
But how it will work in practice remains

A Servant Girls Protective Association

the purpose of asserting the rights Of its

lection are the housewives whose lives

The Georgia legislature has declined to
repeal the law allowing three days of
grace on promissory notes and other time
Indebtedness. The days of grace on time
payments are a relic of the time before
railroads traversed the length and breadth
of the land and fast mails made commu-
nication quick and easy. 1t is possible
that those of the legislators who voted
against the bill to abolish days of grace
have the idea that those three days do
not draw interest. and therefore the deb
tor is that much ahead of the creditor if
he takes thirty-three days to pay note
drawn at thirty days. But those who "go
to bank know that an interest account
