A number of amusing stories are told
Of the performances Of the ldte Shah Of
Persia during his tour of Europe, says
the Argonaut. On his first visit to Lon
don, the shah was expected to open the
Mansion house quadrille with the Prin-
cess Of Wales. in defiance of etiquette,
however. he declined TO do this on the
ground that she was too thin, and in her
place he led out the Duchess of Teck-
there was SO much more of her.
4 SIMILAR incident took place in Paris,
when he was received by President Mac
Mahon in 1873, AS he entered the great
gallery of the Palace of Versailles, young
girls in white presented him with bou-
quets, which he slowed away in a basket
carried by one OF his officers. He stopped
for moment before a group of the wives
of some high state officials. among whom
was the stout and cOmeiy spouse OF a
member of the government. Struck with
admiration, the shah gave new and po-
lite proof of the affection of Orientals for
opulent natures by taking all the bouquets
from the basket and placing them in the
arms of this lady. His compliment was
greeted with general burst of laughter,
in which both the shah and the lady join

Three times had the jury disagreed, and

had been given and the excitement some

1t may not be long before there will be
a crisis in the affairs of Cuba. There is
a growing sentiment in Spain in favor of
abandoning the island. Recently a Mad
rid newspaper expressed the opinion that
a majority of the people of Spain would
vote in favor of abandoning it if given
an opportunity to do so. They are tired
of the war and the burdens which the
war imposes. and they begin to have
doubts as to whether Spain can re-estab-
lish her authority.
A Key West dispatch in Mondays Her
aid calls attention to a London letter.
published in a Havana newspaper, which
is thought to foreshadow the end of
Spanish rule in Cuba. In this letter it is
stated that England is anxious that
Spanish rule shall be continued in Cuba
because she does not want the island to
pass INFO the control OF the United States.
According to this letter the English gov
eminent believes the United States have
a deep laid scheme to get control of the
island, not by means of a war with
Spain, but by encouraging the insurgents
resistance until Spain's resources are ex-
hausted, when they would annex the is
land.
The English correspondent states that
England is opposed to the annexation of
Cuba to the United States. and also to
Cuban independence. She believes that
independence would soon be followed by
annexation. If Cuba should become a
part of the United States England's in
huence and interests in the Antilles
would be threatened and her commerce
with Cuba would be injured.
Views like the foregoing. published in
Havana, while they may not emanate
from any authoritative source show that
in the public mind in that city there is
a belief that the condition of affairs in
Cuba cannot remain very long as they
are now. Spain is not accomplishing
much. if anything, towards putting down
the instruction and her ability to put it
down is steadily growing less.
We doubt if the government at Wash
ington has any plan to acquire Cuba by
annexation or otherwise. There is no
doubt, however, that public sentiment in
this country is strongly with Cuba, and
that very little excuse would be neces-
sary for the formation of a strong party
that would favor helping Cuba to indie
| pendence, or annexation to the United
! States.

state Banks for Currency Evils.

Edward Atkinson of Boston, the we'll
known statistician. has an interesting ar
ticle in Mondays issue Of the Atlanta
Journal in which he points out what a
great mistake it would be- in his opinion,
for the democratic party to declare for
free silver coinage. He says that if we
should open our minis to the free coinage
of silver the only people who would be
greatly benefited are the silver mine own
ers and the bankers. on this point he
says:
Now if the power is given to the min
ers to carry their fifty (50) cent bullion
TO the mint and to force IL upon the com
munity under acts of legal tender at one
hundred GOD cents, they have a margin
OF profit on their years product of over
thirty million dollars CS30,Q00,O90), while
on the other hand, If the bankers of the
east are permitted to buy bullion all over
the world at the present rate of thirty 800
or thirty-two (32) 10 one %, to carry it
to the mint, have IL coined into dollars at
the public expense and then force It upon
the community at sixteen 90 to one %,
they have another enormous profit In pros
pect at the cost of the community which
they would attain during the period which
had elapsed before the community had
found out how much il had been cheated
Cheap money of that kind, bad money of
that kind, is a cheat, a fraud, an instru-
ment of oppression and of plumber There
are no other words fit to be applied TO
such an undertaking and yet these astute
thousands of honest and sincere men in
the south and west to support this effort
10 their own terrible injury.
Mr.. Atkinson is of the opinion that the
great majority of those who are now de-
handing free silver coinage would be sat
isfed with the repeal of the tax on state
bank notes, and the establishment of a
sound banking system like that of Scot
land or of Canada
1t seems to US that this proposition to
establish a state bank currency instead
of declaring for free silver coinage comes
too late. The people who are afflicted
with the silver craze are not likely to be
satisfied that free silver coinage is not
what they want until they have given sill
yer currency trial and experienced its
evils They have been told so often by
the silver leaders that free sill
yer coinage would bring pros
perity that they believe it, And
many of the silver leaders, those who
have not studied the silver question ex-
cept as an issue on which to conduct a
presidential campaign, have convinced
| themselves that the democratic party has
a much better chance to win with 1G to l
| silver coinage than with sound money as
| the currency declaration. AS their chief
purpose IS to win the election rather than
to give the country a safe and satisfactory
monetary system, it would be a very diff
fcult matter to get them to abandon sill
yer and turn to state bank currency
Indeed, it is doubtful if it could be done
It looks very much as if the Chicago con-
vention would declare for silver. and as if
the presidential campaign would be a
straightout contest between gold and sill
| Vor.
