BELIEF THAT weYLeR WILL co.
State Department. However. Knows Moth
ing of Reported Resignation.


Washington, Aug. 16.--State depart
ment officials assert positively that they
know nothing of the reported resgna-
ton OF General Weyler and have no in
formation concerning 1t except what
appears in Havana dispatches in GER
tain morning papers.
The report is variousy regarded by
those persons most conversant with
Spanish affairs Some dismiss it con-
temptuously, saying they have heard
1t many times before and that there is
now no more ground for giving the
story credence than before. 1t is re-
called, however, that the Spanish min
ister in a personal conversation some
weeks before the Canovas assassina-
ton, declared that with a change in
the ministry at home he would resign
his post, since he was here TO reflect
the sentiments of the Canovas party OF
which he was in entire sympathy. 1t
was implied that the generals in the
field. like the diplomatic representa-
tives at strategic points, were expected
10 be of the administration and in
hearty accord with IL. In this light II
is not regarded as wholly unlikely that
General Weyler may have given the
home government an opportunity 10
name his successor in case the new
premier should represent a policy
toward Cuba different from the last.
The failure of Weyler to accomplish
anything substantial toward ending the
insurrection is an additional reason for
believing that his resignation would
not be out of order

The members of this body adjourned on
Saturday TO meet next January. The ses-
zion will be memorable on account Of
party usurpaton in its organization, and
the enactment Of partisan measures. In.
deed 1t would have been better for tho
State had it never had Il beginning. The
Republicans responsible for It's existence
may thank themselves. Like some other
characters they will be remembered for
the evil they enabled the Democrats to do
rather than for the good they have done
They may be forgiven, bu5 it will be long
time before they are forgotten. We arc
thankful, however, that the Legislature
has adjourned. Previous to doing so,
however, the bill providing for the appoint
III IN at of collector in each hundred was
, passed, and some other measures OF doubt
full propriety. The deprivation of Mr..
Rettew Of the collection of the taxes was
purely partisan measure, for which there
Is no excuse. The object was to give
tSelyo Democrats cool job and to assist
in controlling the elections. Tho author-
Eation of the Governor to appoint special
election officer at 1920 per year, with
authority to appoint assistants, is another
piece of extravaganza that cannot DO
paliated. The making OF places and the
Increase Of salaries seem to be without any
parallel. If the taxpayers do not resent
such acts their partisan zeal is much
greater than their desire for economy and
good government. Luckily the race track
bill failed, or was withdrawn las there WAS
no probability OF securing u sufficient
number OF votes TO pass it. Mr.. Dickey
and certain Oher mCm)ors OF the party
are therefore very sorry, as the association
would have become the bulWark of th3
party at every election. In fu, urc num-
