AS a matter of fact, from con-
stitutional standpoint, the Confed-
crate soldiers were not "rebels."
They stood by their States which,
under the constitution until it was
changed by the sword, had a right
to secede. They, therefore, can not
be properly termed rebels. But in
the name "rebeI there is no re-
proach, and it is not so considered
byany Confederate. AS a rule reb-
els have been the pioneers on the
frontier of civil liberty and politi-
cal freedom. George Washington
was rebel; the men who fought
for and gained American independ-
ence we're rebels. The patriots, in
every age and country, who over
threw tyranny and despotism, were
rebels. The Cubans, whoare fight
ing for liberty and home rule, are
rebels. No dishonor attaches to the
name rebel.-Knoxville Tribune.

THE CASE OF BvANGELINA
CIsNERoS.

For a week now an endeavor has
been made to excite the whole country
over the case of the Cuban girl. Evan
gellna Cossio Cisneros. Petitions in her
behalf have been sent to the queen re-
gent of Spain by distinguished Ameri-
can ladies, and even his holiness. Pope
Leo himself, has been appealed to. The
general public has not become so ex-
cited over the incident as over some
others connected with the Cuban re-
belkon.
A year or so ago the country was
flooded with stories about Spanish Off
GERS compelling maids and matrons to
appear before them in a state of nu-
City and dance, and were then com
PEELED to submit to the most outrageous
treatment. Then came the story of how
beautiful Cuban girl lit seems there
are no Cuban girls but beautiful ones)
was made to lay aside all her clothing
that she might be searched for snug
gled correspondence. And all this in
the presence of Spanish customs Off
GERS. One New York paper even nor
trayed the affair IN a half-page illus
tration. Subsequently it was shown
that both these alleged outrages were
simply lies; in the case of the young
woman who was searched for the sup
posed smuggled correspondence, she
herself denying it. And now comes
Consul General Lee at Havana. who
telegraphs the state department that
the case of Evangelina Cisneros has
been greatly misrepresented and exag-
gerated, and that he could not ascer-
tain that there had been, at any time.
any intention to deport her. What he
says in this matter is surely worthy
of consideration, and all must know
that his sympathies are with the Gu
bans and not the Spanish.
There is no doubt that the American
people are entirely too credulous about
stories of Spanish atrocities. They DO
not want to ascertain whether the sto-
ries are true, but accept them, and then
are very slow to surrender their belief
in them when they are disproved. They
are too much inclined to take Cuban
hearsay, although they have been de
wv SNN N4laiS oa4lA lllllt AGAIN DY JndJ
hearsay- The consequence is that they
are often played upon and duped. and
their sympathies are enlisted where
they are not deserved All this NAV
do credit to our hearts, but it certainly
does not to our heads. The cause of
the Cubans is too just and meritorious
to require resort to sensational and
exaggerated stories to enlist the sym
pathies of the American people; their
continued repetition has a tendency to
disgust people who wish the Cuban
cause every success.
From what Consul General Lee says,
it is certain that the facts in the Cis-
neros case are not before the American
people. 1t would be well to wait until
they are before final judgment is
passed. 1t may be quite different from
present impressions.

SUIT TO ENJo1N THE ASSESSOR.


Suit viii be brought to enioin the
county assessor from entering upon
the assessment rolls the Increase of 5
per cent in the valuation in all prop
erty in Salt Lake county What the
result of the suit will be no one can
say, though it is not improbable that
the increase will stand and the injunc-
ton prayed for denied.
The increase should never have been

assessed to its full value, a value it
would not bring if forced on the mar
ket by tax sales, and that it would not
bring at private sale, were there any
demand whatever for il 1t was shown
the board that numbers of pieces of
property had been sold for less than the
assessed valuation, and that there was
very considerable amount that could
be had at prices greatly below what
the assessor had fixed it at But all
this had no effect upon the board 1t
went right on and made the increase
regardless of all these facts. Already
the county of Salt Lake is made to
bear more of the burdens of the state
than it should. This is particularly the
case with Salt Lake City. 1t is the
richest county in the state and it al
most seems as though this fact in

itself And this appears to have been
the method of procedure with the board

case it almost looks as though that
fact had been taken advantage of to

There is a theory in some parts of the
state that this city is legitimate prey
when it comes to imposing taxes, and
the board of equalization appears to
have acted upon it,
The proposed suit will be watched
with interest, but it is doubtful if it

Of this city and county. Those who are

Ned manner at all events.

Forgot All About His Wife.

The best joke of the honeymoon season
is told by a southern hotel keeper, says
the Houston Post The male half of the
new partnership registered like this:
August Buerger and wife" He remained
one day, and when he stepped up to ask
the amount of his bill the clerk said it
would be 81.
-Four dollars Mr.. Buerger said; why,
your rates are rather high. aren't they?"
NO. | guess not; that's only 81 a day"
But l have been here only one day.
Il know, but it's 81" the clerk replied.
How do you figure that?" the newly
welded man asked as ne leaned over the
counter with a frown of perplexity on his
otherwise blissful features.
We'll, there's yourself, one day, 81;
and there's your wife, one day. 81; two
and two makes four.

on the registerr while a crimson flush Of

about her I'll eat my hat. Here. take

The Kansas City Star says that there
is to be a thorough scientific search
for the waters under the earth in Okla
honla. How, when and where this
search is to be made has not yet been
settled, but it is coming. The govern
ment will be asked to make a hydro
graphic survey of Oklahoma Hereto
fore it has been enough that the gov
eminent surveyed the surface of the
earth, but now it is expected to go
deeper and give information respecting
the lay Of the land beneath the surface
and report the prospects for FIater sup
ply. The necessity for irrigation, for
the reinforcement of the natural rain
supply, is now admitted over a great
scope of country in which western
Kansas and western Oklahoma are in

to act accordingly. The photographic
survey is to be a regular and perma-
nent institution like the geological
survey. Heretofore the resources of the

FRANCE AND RUSSIA.

The most important event in recent
European politics is the announcement
by President Faure of an alliance be-
the nature Of the alliance is is not
divulged. but whatever it may be it
can scarcely fail to have a very import
ant effect upon European politics. For
some years past the driebund has been
the most important factor in the poll
tics of Europe and there was nothing
to offset it. The zweibund may now
assume an Importance equal to that
of the driebund. Everyone will ask,
What are its terms, what its particular
object? No one can answer. This only
is certain: that the overtures of En-
peror William to Russia have been re-
iected while those of France have been
accepted. This fact alone will nettle
the German emperor and he will natur-
ally feel much chagrin for he has been
assiduous in his court to the czar. That
he will resort to any policy that will
have tendency to disturb the peace
of Europe is not at all likely. This new
alliance makes Germany somewhat less
the dominating power she was. One
effect will be to draw closer the ma
tons composing the driebund, and to
make Germany rely more and more on
her inherent strength That this new
alliance will result in any aggressive
move towards Germany is altogether
improbable. and the dreams of those
French papers that the hour is fast ap-
preaching when Alsace and Lorraine
will be detached from Germany and
restored to France are no nearer re-
alization than they were before the new
alliance was made. But these dreams
are the cause of French enthusiasm
over it. So long as Germany remains
