Spanish DOODLE.

Spain having robbed Cuba for cer-
turies, is in turn being bodied by her
own army. According TO report from
Havana the names of $1,000 dead or
missing Spanish soldiers are kept on the
list of the general intendent of finances
of the army in Cuba and funds continue
to be drawn from the treasury for their
maintenance as men alive and in active
service. This species of fraud was quite
common during the ten cars war, only
then the colonel in command of each
battalion was usually the recipient OF
the dead mems pay. Since then the
military administration has been ''re-
formed" and all accounts are now kept
at the intendent's Office in Havana.
Probably the reform" was part Of Gen.
eral Weyler's policy Of concentration"
1t is certainly well calculated to concen-
trate the diminishing remnants Of pick
ings derivable from the administration
of Cuban affairs for the benefit of the
big Spanish carpet baggers at Havana.
1t is not surprising that the present ad-
ministration of Cuban finances should
have become scandal even in the eyes
of pronounced loyalists.

TURKEY TO TIME.

Husni Pasha, Turkish ambassador at
ST Petersburg, has telegraphed to the
Porte that complete understanding
has been reached between Great Britain
and Russia with regard to the enforce
ment Of reforms in Turkey and the
opening Of the Dardanelles. The alert
ness with which the Sultan and his con-
fidential agents watch the movements
Of the powers and the infallible accur-
acy with which they scent danger threat
ening them through indications Of har-
mony in the European concert give a
peculiar value to the communication
from Huni Pasha. The agreement of
Russia and Great Britain upon an iden-
teal policy in Turkey would speedily
put an end to the Sultan's regeneration
and to the infamous deadlock of the
powers. The civilized world has so often
been disappointed in its hope that 1.-The
Great Assa<n' would be bridled that
ii is inclined t0\be skeptical of rumors
Of effective Intervention at Constantine
pie. Nevertheless, there are many
reasons for the belief that Husni
Pasha's danger signal to the Porte was
not false alarm.

ABOUT A CONSTITUTION.

The Populist talk about constitu-
tional convention is but cowardly way
of escaping direct responsibility for re-
submission amendment. 1t is generally
known that the people of this state do
not want a constitutional convention
do not feel that the few changes wanted
to amend the shortcomings of our pres
ent constitution would justify cOnven-
ton at this time to revise that instru-
ment at great cost. Most of the
changes suggested through the press
and party platforms as needed have at
one time or another been voted down,
when submitted to the public. The IL
quor amendment ought to be submitted
and voted on. If decisively setti-d either
way, it will practically end the claims
for n constitutional conversion.
The tacl IS the late co t-..'t ii!srs a-c
very clumsy, long.winded documents
losing sight of the real purpose of an or
gsnic law. 4 constitution should be a
short. concise instrument, little more
than bill Of rights. If the people are
capable of self government they want
every suhiecr of legislation left to .leir
legislature. For example, the regula-
tim cr Suppression of the liquor .rasf:c
is purcly subject for legislatures and
thu will of TIE people. should always be
unl,ampered by any constitutional pro-
hlbitions. Posterity should not be

generation. What right has the present

st;tution* The fact is this is one way
o. deprisiuc people of the right of rae
by mao. iry, by putting thilgs into
cons; tutirn.
This is manifest evil o. mc1afn con-
stitutions. The American model is hut
Il short Go:nnel. but the lir.c constI,u
tions are almost codes When it is con-
sidered how slow and uncertain are
changes made in constitutions il is seen
that these long constitutions, whether So
Intended or not, are commentaries upon
the distruSt of unrestricted self govern

the people of this state might be accom-

IL is a strange circumstance that with

tutnns- This is noticeable in the multi
tude Of laws held TO be unconstitutional
The law making power should be less
restricted by constitutional inhibitions.
Let our constitution be made plain and
short, if any change is made.

AN INTERESTING FIGHT.

There is little question, in our mind,
that rhe silver party made mistake in
its selection of a candidate to lead it in
the late presidential fight. Senator Don
Cameron Is the soundest man in that
party. In addition to having been long
in public life, as a member Of Grants
cabinet and for years a United States
senator, he is no dreamer but great
and successful financier, a millionaire,
but not gold-bug. Mr.. Cameron is just
now in evidence again. He refuses to
longer serve In the United States senate.
1t seems to be settled that the choice
Of successor is between John Wana-
maker and Boies Penrose. Mr.. Wana-
maker has, among other things, the sup
port Of the business men Of Philadelphia
and other parts of the state, and Mr..
Penrose has, among other things, the
support of Matthew Stanley Quay. Mr..
Wanamaker, it may safely be said, is
the popular candidate. Petitions for his
election are being circulated as far
away from Philadelphia as the farming
counties on the northern tier Of the
state, and perhaps the Philadelphia cor
of the New York CONNER
oial Advertiser is not going too far when
he says that the better element of Penn
sylyanians are practically unanimous in
his favor. Mr.. Penrose is a young man
who has done good work as state leg
islator and will be remembered as the
originator Of the bill doing away with
the Philadelphia public buildings COM
He made an unsuccessful at
tempt to become mayor Of Philadelphia
at the last election. It will be an inter-
esting fight.

BUT JUGGLING.

President Cleveland admits in his mes
sage to a deficit, for the last year, Of
So OO0. 900. but he says nothing of the
$40, 100000 deficit for the present year.
Here we have for less than two years
So, ,OOO. 600 of deficit, which he says is
more than covered by the $12S, 600, 600
in the treasury over and above the gold
reserve. If there is indeed such a sur
plus in the treasury, why was the de-
ficit, which he admits, permitted: Mr..
Cleveland but juggles. His administra-
tive policy has proved financial failure
from the start, but for which fact the
Democratic party proper and not the
Pop party would have controlled the
Chicago convention. But, says one,
how would the president dare assert in
a state paper that there was $12S,OOO,-
600 in the treasury in addition to the
500. .OOO, 600 gold reserve if it were not
true? His assurances were for the boil
stering up of his party with the people
and not for the information of experts
or well Informed people. There is in the
treasury, or was when he wrote, ST.
100000 of gold not included in the gold
reserve proper. To this sum he adds all
the figures Of the treasurer's report,
which includes every form Of paper OBJ
legation held by him, but which in being
paid out becomes a debt, besides all the
bars Of bullion silver, which are not
money at all, and all the subsidiary coin
Of limited legal tender effectiveness. He
then deducts the outstanding notes of
1890, from the silver on hand, although
such notes are payable in gold, together
with all the greenbacks, bonds and in
terest held by the treasury. 1t is not a
surplus at all in any sense, not even the
SIT 600 900 of free gold. Mr.. Cleveland
was not fair in his statement of the
financial condition of his administration
as three months hence will discover.

Oklahoma City Oklahoman: Yesterday
"Kize." the police station dog. was run over
by street sprinkler and so badly injured
that his life is despaired OF. Kind hands
have him in care. and If it is possible to
pull the old dog through it will be done.
Few people know that 'Kize," the big
white and tan bull dog who since any one
remembers was a part OF the furniture OF
the city police station, is one of the Oldest
citizens of the city. In southeastern Kan
sas, in the opening Of 1889, there was
townsite company formed TO '.gobble up
tine land on which Oklahoma City's impos-
irg business houses and handsome resi-
dences now stand This was not the only
townsite company formed for that purpose.
There were others. but this one was the one
that brought .Kize" to this city.
"Kizs' was the property of Dan Phillips,
who owned livery stable at Colony. Kan
At that time ''Kize" was about three years
Of age. and had local reputation of being
a scrapper from who laid the chunk.
Mr.. Phillips transferred his livery outfit
to Purcell few days before the opening
and on the memorable 22nd the livery busi-
ness was established in Oklahoma City and
"Kize' helped hold down the lot. How or
when "Kize'' transferred his ownership
from Dan Phillips to the police department
is not known. but he is now part of the
city property. is exempt from dog tax, and
can detect wanted man upon his enter
ing the station as quickly as the shrewdest
detective. He meets suspicious character
with a growl that shakes the walls. but
"Kize" has passed his fighting days. His
courage is good, but his teeth have failed
him. He is liked by the entire police force.
and should yesterdays accident end his
days. the coppers will do the proper thing
by him.
