SPAIN'S INTENTION.
Political and Administrative Reform
'a Will Be Promised Cuba.

MADRID, April 20.--It Is announced
that the royal speech, to he delivered at
the opening Of the new cortes, will prom
ise political and administrative reforms
for Cuba and Porto Rico.
The Epoca says Since the Cuban re-
forms have the force OF law. they must be
applied; but the opportune moment must
be awaited. Other newspapers here, dis
cussing the question, protest that the In
PRODUCTION OF reforms into Cuba cannot be
admitted to be the result of foreign inter
vention.
Despite tho persistent official denials
both from Washington and Madrid, it Is
now an open secret that both governments
have freely discussed their attitude
towards each other In the Cuban affair
Spain Is aware that President Cleveland
wishes to be conciliatory, but that he can
not answer for the control of American
opinion IL the struggle in Cuba he pro-
longed to the injury of American COM
merce.
Spain, on the other hand, has informed
President Cleveland that she is willing to
conciliate the sympathies OF sensible
Americans, but that she cannot entertain n
proposal for the independence Of Cuba, or
cotiate with the rebels, as public opinion
would never tolerate such humiliation.
Spain has been silently preparing to exe-
cute a Cuban home rule bill, as soon as
the colonial authorities regard IL advisa-
BILE to DO So. No date has yet been fixed
for this, however.

THE POPULAR LOAN.

The dispatches of yesterday say that
the New York banks represented by
Morgan and his syndicate expect to get
the mass of the popular loan bonds.
This is upon the assumption that the
people viii not subscribe for .them. In
this we entertain the belief that the
New York bankers will find they have
made an erroneous estimate of the
spirit Of the people. The loan is as
strong In its business presentment to
the individual as to the banking cor
poration.
The man with small or large saw
ings knows when there is offered to
him a perfectly safe investment. with
perfect assurance of the return of the
principal and large interest. Here is a
thirty-year loan at per cent. upon
which the interest is payable in coin
quarterly, enabling a compounding to
be made. The bonds are exempt from
taxation, so that the interest return
really represents Z per cent. This is a
reward for loaning money that is not
commanded at such small cost TO the
lender in any other quarter, upon a
basis Of such absolutely perfect secur-
ity.
AS the bonds are issued in denomina-
tions as low as 500 they offer TO the

MACHINE TO MILK COWS.
Wonderful Device Which the Cows
Can't Kick Over.
The Scotch Invention Has Several Ad-
vantages Over the OId-Fashioned
Method by Hand.

Milkmaids have a dangerous rival. "A
man has built a milking machine. From
time immemorial the cow has swishee
her tail, kicked over the milk-pail and
been mistress to a certain extent of al
she contained. But hereafter she viii
have to accommodate herself to labor
saving device which will pay little re-
gard to her feelings in the matter.
This milking machine has been in
vented in Scotland. 1t is said to work
perfectly. 1t is known as the This
tle," and an English farm paper says
of it:
1.-THE most successful milking ma
chine yet invented was recently shown
at the Darlington fair, where it at
tracted more attention than any other
novelty on exhibition. The machine
has been so thoroughly tested by ex-
perts that it is now considered to be
almost perfect, and it has given Sc
much satisfaction as to warrant the
erection of large works for the manu-
facture of the machinery. It's con-
struction is based on the principle OF
suction produced by vacuum in teat
cup, which pressed against the teat Oh
cow extracts the milk, which is car
ried off to a receiving pail. While the
teat is drained of it's milk, air enters
the cup, allowing the former pressure
to relax, and the teat is again filed
with milk from the udder. Vacuum is
once more created in the teat cup which
again collapses, pressing out the milk
into the tube, and it then passes to be
received as before. The exhaustion is,
of course effected by means of an air
pump, which can be worked by the
motive power most convenient.
1.-THE teat cup is by far the most i'm
portant part of the machine. Great
difficulty was experienced in nanufact-

NoTE AND COMMENT.

The fellow who wants to keep some
worthy man out of place in the
interest of himself or someone
else, is pretty sure to find ex-
euse for his work and mean
methods of accomplishing it. The new
Mayor proposes to appoint to subordi-
nate position a competent man, road
engineer to have charge of street con-
struction and put brains and skill to
service for the city in its sewer, street,
sidewalk systems, etc. Immediately the
cry is raised by those who have axes to
grind, that the man is new, that he has
not been here long enough, that he has
not yet acquired property, that he is
poor, and is not yet a taxpayer, and so
on. Has it come TO this then that the
poor. man is to be barred from serving
the city. no matter how rich in accom-
plishment and fitness? Such a rule
would have prevented Los Angeles and
San Diego sending to the far East to get
skilled men to serve them in somewhat
ike manner. 1t would have shut the
door Of the Leland Stanford University

Portable nest made of the folded tent
cover fastened between the trailing

dogs were the burden-bearers, and in
some remote places they are still used.

fellow would find himself on his back.

Representative Livingstone's hot pro-
testing resolution in the House on the
subject of the advance of the outposts
of the British in the Venezuelan dis
puted territory is just bit hasty. Con-
gress cannot afford to act in the matter
without definite and confirmed informa-
ton on the subject; as yet, it is a mere
rumor. Suppose that the resolution,
which is one of anger and protest,
should have passed as Mr.. Livingstone
desired. and that tomorrow it is found

THE RAILROAD DEBT.

It ought to be clear now to the dullest
intelligence that there is in all this mat
ter of the settlement of the indebtedness
of the transcontinental railroads to the
Government, but one real question, and
that relates to and divides upon meth
DDS of securing payment. He is blind
indeed who does not see that what the
Government wants and must have is
payment, not a wasting Of the sum due
by sending good money after it in the
way of further investment to take up
the first mortgage bonds, that the Gov
ernment may then foreclose upon its Sc
curity and take the roads under fore
closure as a creditor would his debtors
property on sale under judgment
The people of the United States do
not want the roads, nor to engage in
the operation of railroads, and espe-
ciaIly they do not want the roads when
to get them they must pay out more
than they can parallel them for with
new lines. This whole matter has come
down to simple business consideration
of the best, most just and certain way
of securing return of the money to the
United States.
The San Francisco press, which is
rampant to have any and all funding
and adjustment bills defeated, propose
nothing in lieu of them. In a. general
way they argue that the Government
can take the roads, but they purposely
avoid and push back the fact that the
Government cannot take the roads
without discharging the prior liens
thereon, and that to do so means a
larger output of money by the people
than would rebuild the entire systems.
They avoid the fact and refuse to dis
ouss it, that there is no power in the
Government to seize the roads; that if
taken it must be by legal process, and
that involves paying off the first mort
gage lien.
The Colusa "Sun," which is not car
ried away by the explanatory argu-
ment, sensibly calls attention to the fact
that our portion of the railroad debt on
this coast is a bagatelle compared with
the greater interest Of the East. We
are, then, in partnership with other
States in this matter and our partners
have forty times the interest that we
have in the collection of the debt. Yet
the explanatory and radical men OF our
community who demand impossible
things, expect this larger interest to
waive its policy and claims and con-
serve the misguided sentiment which
1magines that the Government can and
Will operate line of railroad for the
immediate and especial benefit Of Cali
fornia, regardless of the economies and
interests Of the great East.
AS the Sun well puts it. we invite
the other fellow to take the chances on
suoh ownership and operation being
paying investment. The Record
Union" has repeatedly pointed out that
the most unfortunate thing that could
happen for these same California mall
contents would be Government owner

uring the cup on account of the COM
plications of movement required in inn
itating the ca1f'S 5 lip and tongue, special
machinery having to be manufactured
for this alone. These teat cups are
about the size of an ordinary wine
glass, are made of flexible india-rubber
and are adapted to any COW.
THE four cups join at the bottom,
with a tube attached long enough to
carry the milk to the glass cylinder or
trap on the top of the pail. Another
tube connects this glass trap with the
exhaust pipe running overhead. When
the cups are placed on the teats and
the exclusion of the air is complete the
milk begins to flow, not in a contin-
uous stream, but intermittently,
streaming into the glass receiver with
each respiration of the pulsometer, just
as 1t would do when the hand closes on
the teat in the act of milking, the mo-
mentary interval between each stroke
being exactly the same
by aid of the glass receiver the at
tendant is enabled to see when the
milk ceases to f1ow and then removes
the cups at once. Should the suction go
on, however, after the milk ceases to
flow, no injury will be done. This has
been fully borne out by practical ex-
pertinent. It is also worthy of note that
the milk froths' up in the pail just the
so gentle that the cows seem to enjoy
being MIXED by it.
"a hand machine for four cows, with
woman and lad, is capable of milk
ing thirty COWS in less time than four
women can do it. Larger machines are
being fitted to milk large numbers at a
time.
"The most obvious advantage to be
derived from a milking machine lies in
the fact that a large number of COWS
can be MIXED with the employment of
but few hands This is a matter of
greater Importance in dairying than in
most other lines where machinery is
sought to be introduced, because, while
in other lines it may cheaper produc-
tion, in dairying the number of cows
that can be kept is limited by the num-
ber of hands that can be kept busy on
the farm outside of the milking hour.
IAN additional advantage is the alb
solute cleanliness that is possible with
a properly constructed machine, it be-
ing admitted that even the most strict
ly clean and careful hand-milkers can
not entirely keep impurities from the
milk"

there is no warm blood in political mat
