Washington, Oct. 29.-The Spanish
minister, Dupuy De LONE, has returned
to Washington, after three months
summer vacation in New England, and to-
day called on Secretary at the State De-
partment The minister's family and his
large official staff returned with him and
the Spanish legation Offices are again
open. 1t is understood the minister's call
on Mr.. Olney was without special signili
canoe.
The military status in Cuba has under
gone a complete change within recent
days by the heavy augmentation OF Span
ish troops and the opening OF IN agrees
sive fall campaign The Spanish forces
arriving mt Cuba from March :. 1895, IN
to one month ago are placed at 16j, OIL

63S chiefs. 1851 officials and los, 9S, sol
diers, including infantry, cavalry, artil-
lery and engineers The campaign Just
opened is along new lines and seeks to
occupy the inaccessible mountain passes
and swamps in which the insurgents
hitherto have found Il retreat
The battles recently fought, it is stated,
are but the opening of this campaign of
invading the lnsurgcnt strongholds. The
Spanish official reports are uniformly
favorable as to the successful progress of
the Spanish campaign and contradict ,hc
unofficial reports of insurgcnt successes.
The understanding at the Spanish lcga-
ton is that the main desire OF the author
tiles at Havana is to execute such "A con

capture of MaCeo, as would show beyond

BRYAN AND CRUCIFIXION.

From the n. Y. Sun.
We called attention yesterday to the
apparent origin of Mr.. Bryan's favor
tie figure of speech, that of the crown
of thorns. The Boy Orator was pres
ent in the House of Representatives
on January 26, 1894, when his Repub-
lican associate, Mr., Mccall, of Mas
sachusetts, closed a speech on pro-
lection with an eloquent peroratiOn'
containing this passage:
DO you regard your bill with refer
ence to labor? Ready as you have
ever been to betray it with a kiss, you
scourge it to the very quick, and press
a crown of thorns upon it's brow"
This seems to have made a great
impression upon Mr.. Bryan's mind.
He appropriated the crown of thorns
and has been pressing it upon the
brow of labor ever since. He waited,
however, for eleven months, or until
December %, 1894, before he used Mr..
McCall's crown of thorns in the house
of representatives.
Not so, however, with the kiss of
betrayal. Four days after Mr.. Nc
Calls speech of January 90, 1894, Mr..
Bryan undertook to reply to the Hon.
Bourke Cochran on the subject of the
income tax, and he worked in the
kiss of betrayal thus:
''Oh, sirs, is it not enough to betray
the cause of the poOr-must it be
done with a kiss" (Applause)
We should say that when the APP
plause sounded Mr.. Mccall was the
proper person to stand up and make
the blow.

DEAFNESS Not the Goal

The silver men give away their case
when they say that free coinage will
increase prices" The one universal
human interest is cheapness. The ideal
condition would be one wherein all de-
sirable things were produced without
any cost ut all. Every advance toward
that condition-that is to say, every
cheapening of the necessaries of life-is
a great gain for everybody. On the
other hand, every increase in the price
of the necessaries of life is direct and
grievous hurt to the people.
