JINGoIsM IN SPAIN.

That part of the presidents message
relating to Cuba appears to have met
with as little approval in Spain as in
some portions of our own country, es-
pecially with those members of con-
gress who were anxious TO have the
president take a decided stand in favor
of the Cuban revolutionists. The mes
sage ON this subject is not only very
conservative, but is conciliatory to
remarkable degree; in fact, it would
be almost impossible to make it more
so. In Mr.. Cleveiand's last message,
he was much more aggressive and de-
cisive than Major Mckinley is, and it
is hard to see why the Spaniards do
not realize this. The Sagasta ministry
is no doubt satisfied with what the
president has said; not so those mem
bers of the cortes who are in opposition
to it. This seems to be particularly
the case with the Carlist deputies, who
propose to hold a meeting to discuss
the message. Weyler also appears to
be in full sympathy with the Carlists
In this matter.
The Carlists, of course, have Interior
himself is probably filled with political
ambitions. His reception in Spain has
been highly fiattering to him, and he
has taken advantage of this fact to in
flame the popular imagination against
the United States and to increase his
own popularity.
While the relations of this country
with Spain are friendly from the Of
fetal point of view, there is no disguis-
ing the fact that the American people
as whole thoroughly dislike the
Spaniards and that the latter cordially
hate the Americans. That is the true
state of the case. In view of this, it
would not be an impossible task for the
baiters of the United States in the
cortes to so work up excitement in
Spain that a declaration of war with
the United States would be necessary
for the government. A dynasty's fate
might hang upon it. In this country
there is so strong q, pro-Cuban senti-
ment, and 1t is so strong in both house
and senate that if thoroughly aroused
it would come quite near to making
the ADMINISTRATOR eIlIirl ISCp5iiA"0
Cuban belligerency or Independence.
The president is not the make of man
to stand like a rock to stem a great
popular current; he would be far more
apt to go with it than against it.
Such being the conditions in Spain
and this country, a rupture would rot
be very difficult thing; and if the
Spanish cortes begin lingo tactics it
may be sure that they will be met with
much the same kind in this country.
Matters have reached that stage where
Spain can take her choice between
peace and war. War is not to be well
coined, but the sentiment of the Amer
lean people on the Cuban question is
such that they would not shun it.

REVENGE OF A BETRAYER's
VICTIM.

The confession of Delilah Fales of
WaverIy, Ia, of the murder of John
Kern, is a remarkable and revolving
thing. The confessions of murderers
are not always to be accepted as truth
even where the consequence to them
selves may be death.
The story the young woman Fales
tells seems to bear the impress of
truth. She says that the man she mtlr-
dered had betrayed her when she was
but q child: that ever afterwards he
pursued her both for his own wicked
purposes and to persecute her. If she
tried to live an honest life her betrayer
was there to prevent her; if she began
to establish a good reputation he was
there to pull it down. Several times,
according to her statement, she was
on the verge OF marrying and becom-
ing a happy wife and woman, but each
time her evil genius appeared upon the
scene to blast her hopes. At last an
attachment grew up between the girl
and the son of her alleged betrayer;
and again were her hopes dashed to
pieces. The cup of her bitterness had
become so full that it overlooked and
at last she determined upon his de-
struction. 81 killed him with premedi-
tation and deliberation, she says. 'I
prayed God to give me strength to do
it, with all the earnestness that [ could
command, as 1 have prayed to him for
forgiveness. have suffered no pangs
of conscience. On the contrary, rest
full calm seemed to come into my life
from the moment knew he was dead.
I never slept so well as I did after the
night 1 fired those fatal shots"
What must have been the suffering
of a soul that it's possessor could so
talk after having taken a human life!
Assuming that the girls story is true,
as it appears to be on it's face, who will
say that her wrongs were not such as
to almost justify the terrible revenge
she took? The law might have afforded
her protection had she complained OF
the persecution to which she was sub
jected but what woman could go and
tell the story of her ruin and shame
that she might be protected against the
prosecutions of her betrayer? There
are some things in this world that even
the law cannot protect those who suf-
fer from them against
The persecution to which this woman
was subjected recalls the persecution
that Falkland visited upon Caleb Will
liams because Williams had discovered
his terrible secret. It parallels it at
least; it may almost be said to sur
pass it.

EDrsoN's NEWEST RIVAL.

For more than half a score of years
the world has been filed with the fame
of Thomas A. Edison, and when any
great scientific problem presents itself
the world involuntarily turns to Edi-
son to see if he has not some solution
for it. But the wizard of Menlo Park
is very likely to have a rival in the
near future, and this rival is his own
son, Thomas A. Edison, jr. The young
man, who is only q years of age, has
set up for himself in New York, where
his modest sign may be seen in the
Schermerhorn building on Broadway.
He resembles his father very much in
feature and very much in mental bent.
He is not a college bred youth, but he
has worked with his father ever since
he was u. HE has been everything
to me-" says young Edison, land there
is nothing in his vast store of knowl
edge which he has not endeavored to
transmit to ne. If he has not sue
ceeded, it is my fault, not his, for [ do
not think that all the colleges in the
world could afford me better chances
of learning
All the colleges in the world could
not have given him better chances of
learning than he has had. He has been
truly educated. His mind has been
drawn out and that which he has
learned he has been able to apply.
Like his father, he will follow the
career of an inventor. He says that as
yet most of his inventions are in his
head, but he has invented an mean
descent lamp which viii soon be placed
on the market. To the son the father
has been such teacher as Aristotle
was to Alexander. Will the pupil of
Menlo Park yet conquer the world?

which he was elected, ard his earnest
wish for the welfare and prosperity of the
whole people is manifest throughout the
document.
San Francisco Examiner: The message
has the virtues and fatings of Mr. Nc
hinley, his sympathy with humanity and
justice, his loyalty to his country and
party and his shrinking from strong
measures at home and abroad. But as
congress rarely pays attention TO the re-
commentators of the presidents mes
sage il is OF no great Importance whether
message be good or baC.
Chicago Dispatch: The message is long,
laboreG. and in the nature OF a special
plea. The task before the president was
full of difficulties. He was forced to
congratulate the country on prosperity
which is not general; to urge monetary
measures upon which his own party is
divided: to plead for Spain when the
people wished him TO plead for Cuba; to
promise future revenue, when present
deficit stared him in the face. and to
recommend Hawaiian annexation in OPP
position to public sentiment.
Chicago Times Herald: President Nc
Kiniey's first message to congress will
history. Calm. sincere and stra1ghtfor-
ward. it treats every question with the
simple franknes5 that is always becom-
Ing in American craftsmanship.
Denver News: President Mckinley is
the Mark Tapley of American office hold
ers. He is determined to be cheerful,
however much Affections prevail and
make the American people blue rather
than hopeful. He Introduces his mes
sage with an outburst of congratulations
for the many blessings providence has eX-
tended to the country.
Kansas City Times: Mediocrity apollo
giving for bad faith and incompetency
eDitomizes the quality of the president
message.
Kansas City Star: The message is
more voiurainous than was expected, in
view of it's agreeable omission of the
usual review of the different departments
of the government, but in a country like
this there are always a good many things
for the president to say and for congress
to do.

the dominant characteristic of the presi-
dents message. 1t contains nothing of
a nature to disturb the business interests
of the country, and much to strengthen
and promote the already well advanced
movement toward prosperity There will
be, of course, differences of opinion con-
corning the recommendations made in
