The Horse Not Going.

During the last two years the idea
has become general that the bicycle
has nearly driven the horse out of eX-
istence. A horseshoeing association, in
its annual report. maintains that this
is all a mistake, and there are more
horses in the country now than ever
before since the landing of the Pill
grim Fathers. The organization dem
onstrates that there are in Ohio $4,000
more horses than there were a year
ago. Il 900 more in Michigan and $500
more in New York Other states are
adducetl as showing a corresponding
increase in the number of horses over
II months ago.
The explanation offered for this fact
is that bicycles are used chiefly by
people who never did and never would
own horse. 1t is also asserted that
while occasionally a man may sell his
horse and adopt the bike" the change
is only temporary. and that as soon as
the exhlarating novelty of the wheel
wears off the four-footed nag is REIN
stated.
But for all this. the horse is passing,
and if the statistician based his figures
on ''horses in use" instead of lin eX-
istence," they would probably be con-
siderabiy modified. says the Pittsburg
Dispatch.

There Is nothing surprising In the
snubbing which Generals Palmer. and
Buckner are said to be receiving from
old acquaintance among Southern
democrats. The average Southern
Democrat rather be partisan than
right most any time. Most of the
sound money men in that party in the
South. who voted as they believed in
November. said little or nothing about
it, They dared not. In that country
Democrats regard a fellow member of
their party who votes the Republican
ticket as a traitor and a hereto. They
can tolerate a man who comes by his
IRepublicanism as birthright but look
upon the Democrat who changes" as
selling his birthright for a mess of
pottage. There are some reasons why
they should regard it in that light.
Undoubtedly the SAVIOR of pottage has
been noticed in connection with politi-
cal conversions but there has none of
it been discovered about the skirts and
transactions of the gentlemen who led
the sound money Democracy. Indeed
the Southerner must admit that posi-
bly, some Republicans have become
Democrats not wholly from unselfish,
pure and patriotic motives. But the
average Southern Democrat isn't in
clined to think much upon such things
Thinking has little to do with his poll
tics. Upon that subject his views were
not born of mental travail but were in
herited. He-has a sort of feeling that
it would be sacriege to his dead an
cestors to hold different political views
from those they entertained. We have
few in the North who don't know
Jackson is dead. There are many more
such in the South. They are to be
pitied. A man who cannot tolerate the
thought of ever changing his political
under any possible circum
stances and who regards all who do as
to modern progress than is
he who takes his grain to mill across
the back of a mule and puts the grain
in one end of the bag and rocks in the
other to balance the load. because his
father before him did so. Generals
Palmer and Buckner are in no need of
sympathy because a few of their old
now cut" them.

The adoption of that Cuban resolu-
ton by the Senate committee on for
eign affairs, does not assure it's passage
by either the Senate or the House, but
it is very significant, nevertheless. and
the nature of it is such as to excite the
Spanish gorge. 1t is possible that a
desire to go on record as doing some
thing influenced the committee to a
considerable degree, but it is equally
apparent that this body would not have
adopted it had it not been thought in
accord with the general sentiment of
the country. By this we do not mean
that it accords with what is known as
the conservative" element. Those who
read history will note that the conser-
vative element has been doubtful of
several undertakings which reflected
both glory and honor upon us as ma
ton. We do believe. judging from the
expressions of sympathy. which are not
confined to any particular section or
sections, that the majority is convinced
of the real justice underlying recogni-
ton of Cuban independence. 1t may
not be that Cuba has such a govern
ment as we might wish her to have be-
fore establishing a precedent for recog
milton. But it is equally apparent that

to be likewise clear that we owe
nothing in the way of delay to Spain.
who melted the Indians of the South
west against this republic at a time
when it was struggling for existence
and supplied the red man freely with
arms and ammunition to prey upon our
defenceless settlers. The Spanish gov
eminent made no effort to prevent it.
1t is the same Spain that FASTENED to
recognize the Confederacy. 1t is Spain
that by oppression and corruption has
brought about the condition of affairs
now existing on the island and by rea-
son of which American property has
been destroyed and American interests
seriously damaged in that quarter.
There is no occasion for tenderness to-
ward Spain at the expense of justice
towards Cuba and ourselves. And
above all is there any hope that an
other time will be more opportune for
one of the wickedest wars ever waged
in the Western hemisphere?

Cuba.

Beautiful Island. thy soft dreamy air
Breathes over lone homes that are va
cant and bare:
And under thy palm tree the flashing
swords wave.
Yet thy song still is freedom. thy heart
still beat brave,

Isle,
Gone is thy lightness, gone is thy smile.
The blood OF thy loved ones lies red on
thy shore.
But its blossom is liberty for ever more,
And crown thy dead hero who led in the
strife.
And gave all the strength of his life for
thy life:
Who with his staunch men did fearless,
face Spain.
And said. I'VE viii die. but slaves ne'er

Avenge thy dishonored. wrench free

Until old Atlantic IA free soil shall have.

A Maryland pastor criticises the Pres
ident for going duck hunting while
Cuba suffers. We think the pastor is
the more deserving of criticism, al
though his remark appears to have
been made in an address not delivered
from the pulpit. 1t is well enough
perhaps to crack so called jokes about
the proclivities Of the President for
seeking sport with rod or gun as he
has on several occasions whenit seemed
he was needed, if ever, at his post in
Washington. but it is yet to appear
that the public service ever suffered
thereby. He deserves criticism for
thus spending his time on Memorial
day when an official of his Importance
should set a better example. 1t may
be doubtful whether his use of gov
eminent tenders is in accord with JEFF
fersonian simplicity. But when it
comes to seriously charging the Presi-
dent with Sinking work, or denying
his right to the enjoyment of all the
vacations he obtains that is another
matter. We believe. from all that we
can learn. that Mr.. Cleveland is a very
industrious. painstaking official: that
he doesateorsx. which might be left for
clerical 1abor. but that he does it thor
oughly and without sparing himself.

Whv Net Pass M

n Speaker Reed believes, it Is said, that
q tariff bill should be framed and
passed by the House, at least, SO that
it would be in a condition as favorable
for immediate action at the extra ses-
sion as was the Dingley bill at this
session. in so far as that could be done.
OF course this House cannot legislate
for the succeeding one. but it can affiX
its seal of approval to the measure.
Moreover as the next House is to be
Republican and in sympathy with the
tariff bill, and as most OF those whose
speeches upon the measure would have
general interest, will have been heard,
the action of the next House upon this
matter should not require much more
time than for endorsement. In fact
Speaker Reed admirably as concisely
stated the situation when on being
asked what would be done with the
committee is expected to report by the
middle of January, he replied: well,
we can pass it. 1t is about time that
Congress did something to allow bust
ness to so on and take care Of itself.
Why should we not pass it?"
OF course, why not pass it? Even
the Senate cannot answer this ques-
ton in the negative to the satisfaction
of the country. Much less can the
House.

Maine Marksmen.

The report, that Cuban insurgents
have sent a representative into Maine
to procure sharpshooters for service in
Cuba, is not so preposterous as many
sent out. Certainly there are sharp
shooters in Maine, numerous as to
number and well qualified as to eflici
ency. The record of work done upon
the rifle ranges in this State bears out
that statement. Moreover if any num-
Der of them could be induced to enter
the service of the insurgents it would
be safe to assume that they would do
their duty and reflect credit upon
themselves as they would confusion
upon those unlucky enough to come
within range of their weapons. 1t is,
however, improbable that any consid-
to Cuba, though we have no doubt that
knowledge of their proficiency has
reached that island.
A good degree of this skill has been
attained under the supervision of Col.
E. c. Harrington, who, as inspector
general of rifle practice, has been I'M
firing in his efforts, wise in his counsel
and a constant source of encourage
ment to the men. And in his report,
which has just been published, he re-
fers with much evident feeling to the
earnest cooperation on the part of the
men. So earnest has been their desire
to attain proficiency that, while re-
ceiving practically no recompense from
the State for their service, they have
taxed themselves for ammunition in
order to extend their work upon the
ranges AS a result we doubt if any
state can show as many good marks
men for the number of men enlisted in
it's service as can the State of Maine.
