A writer in the New Century Review, discussing the subject from thorough ly pro-Spanish standpoint, entertains great hope of the early settlement of the Cuban trouble. He pays a compli- ment to the patriotism of the Spanish people and, unlike other writers, seems to have no fear for the solvency of the Government, but he thinks "the infer ence is reasonable that a prospect ex. ists of some system of autonomy in Cuba, such as will save Spanish honor, satisfy American sentiment and bring to an end the prolonged strife that is running all industries in the island" The writer appears to speak with au- thority, and we may hope that he has good reason to predict the settlement of the conflict. It would be much easier to arrange terms of peace if the Span ish Government were to take the in- itiative than it will be if our Govern ment is placed in the position of forcing Spain to give way. To this we may come eventually, for, as the most con- servative men in the pr sent admins tration see as clearly as Mir.

One of the Chicago Sunday papers has been discussing the bachelor ques- tion, or rather has been getting a num- Der of women to discuss it. The mat. ter has arisen lately apropos of the agi tation in New England against "bach. elOr politicians" and also of Ella Wheel CT Wilcox's proposition to tax all bache
 lors over 35 for the benefit of spinsters over 40. The women who give their opinions on the subject in the Sunday papers are all entitled to write Mrs" before their names-a fact which, in the opinion of spinsters lover 40," if there are any who have reached that age, would disqualify them as jurors in the case Bachelors vs. Spinsters." AS jury, however, they bring in Scotch verdict of mot proven" and by so do- ing will win the gratitude of "bachelors over 35." One of the ladies even hints that there may be good deal of meth cd in the madness of the men in delay ing to enter upon the delights of matri- mony under modern conditions, least wise she would not have the law go matchmaking with whip in its hand" Miss Lillian Bell, in her recent book, has clearly established that man under B Is a raw, unfinished, wearisome product, who takes himself and others far too seriously. He may be used for a waltz, an occasional escort, etc, but as a companion he is insufferable. Granting Miss Bells conclusion, it would seem to be an injustice to tax men who persist in remaining single un- l til they become ripe, finished, charming to the other seX-men who take nOtn- ing seriously. To seek to compel men to marry while in their green, adoles- cent state would seem to be an injury to the young men and also to cast a doubt upon the power of woman to charm this gay, brilliant creature into matrimOny. The man who defers mar riage until 35 or after, however, if we may believe the ladies now clamOring for his punishment, has become alto gether too gay and charming, and pins his faith to the advice of Punch as re- gards matrimony-"Don'tw What the ladies will do about it is an interesting question, especially for the bachelor.

 He spoke now with the decisiveness he had shown at Horseshoe Bend, where, as everyone knows, Gen. Jack son had called him the bravest man in the army. He was almost cheerful as he rose and left the house, walking towards the bluffs, as was his morning habit, with the light, swinging step he had learned on the trail with the Che rokee friends of his boyhood. He did not return until II o'clock, and goirg straight to his office he found John Endicott, his secretary, waiting for him with a formidable bundle of papers.

 He passed into his inner rooms as he said this, and began sorting the papers in his private pigeonholes. Endicott could hear him tearing them, but if he wondered, he asked no questions, and the Governor kept up his work long after his usual dinner hour. When he went home he found what he had ex- pected. His wife had gone to her mother, and he never saw her again. It is said he wrote her a most affec- tionate letter, but if he did, nothing he said in it changed the course of his life or hers. Nonsense. His heart did not break" said my grandmother. Why, all the world heard of him at San Ja- cinto. A brave mans heart never breaks while he has work to do."
 Perhaps she was right. At any rate, there was no tremor in the Governors voice as he spoke to her that morning, riding with his horses head turned to- ward the old Cherokee trail that led

The other end of the shaft is fitted with a rearwardly extending arm, to which is fixed shoe pointed at the front end. In service the handle is pulled toward the operator. This allows the shaft to fall and the shoe drops into the groove of the track, and by pressing the han dle to one side or the other the switch tongue is turned by the shoe as it slides along, passing to one side or the other of the tongue switch at the will of the operator.

But the MassapeQua man, perhaps from confusing the facts. adopted different method. When the hilarious surprise party, male and fe- male, gleesOmely pounded upon his front door, he came to the door with a gun. The women shrieked and fled. and the men, from behind trees, tried to convince the unwilling host that they were not white caps or tramps or robbers. But the man with the gun had his doubts, and it was only after long barley that the visitors were ad

It is estimated that in one city, Chi cago, the coin-in-the-slot machines are devouring more than two million dol lars a year. There are two kinds of the machines: Those that have q slot for petty gambling operations, and those that are supposed always to give something in return for the slot invest ment. Those who put money in the gambling slot take their chances of get. ting something out, and the makers and buyers of the machines take care that these chances are none too good. Those who drop coins in ostensibly vending slots are not gamblers, but they are fire quently dupeS; the contrivance swaI- lows the coin, yields nothing worth having, and seems to ask, 'What are you going to do about it?' There IS practically no choice between them, and both classes of slot machines should be avoided by all save million aires, and outlawed by the State.

The "Zionist" Conference.

The Zionist Conference, recently held at Basic, Switzerland, was a gath ering of influential Hebrews who be- lieve that it is practicable to re-estab- fish the Jews in Palestine, under some form of autonomous government trfbu- tary to the Porte. The dream that the Jews may some time return to Pales- tine is widely cherished among that people, and of late years a number of Jewish agricultural colonies have been established there. The new plan, in which Dr. Herzl and Dr. Max Nordau are leaders. is more ambitious. The program adopted contemplates the set ting up of a Jewish state in Palestine through a financial arrangement with Turkey, and it is proposed to raise a fund of fifty million dollars in further ance of the scheme. The conferences next year is to be held at Jerusalem Youths Companion.

Another Deadly Blight.

The blight that has constantly fallen
upon this country, and which has kept
it in Il continual condition Of business
prostration, has been the inability of
the factories of this country to find
purchasers enough at home to consume
their products. Under this almost I'M
varying condition the manufacturers
have been compelled to close their fac
tories down for long periods, with the
consequent throwing out of employ
ment of thousands of people who at
once become a vast army of non-pro-
ducers and on-cOnsumers.--Reg
Mobile, Ala.
True. This Democratic blight per-
mitted the factories of Europe to sup
ply our markets, hence. as the Register
says, our manufacturers "have been
compelled to close their factories down
for long periods, with the consequent
throwing out OF employment of thou
sands of people" And these thou
sands of people" will never forget the
destructiveness of the deadly blight"
of the Democratic party's free trade
policy.

into the country-S12, 600, OOO-by
the mere advance which it could make
on its stock of sugar after the final
passage of the bill?
The explanation of the general adj
vance in the stocks of the trust, while
good as far as it goes, does not account
fully for this remarkable advance as
soon as the action of the conferees be-
came known. This advance is, how
ever, as readily and plainly accounted
for. Secretary Gage had recommend
ed to Congress the placing of an in
ternal revenue tax of 1 cent per pound
on all unrefined sugars in the United
States when the new tariff law should
go into effect, the object being to com
pei the trust to pay to the Govern
ment a tax of / cent per pound on all
this 1,5OO,0 100000 pounds of sugar
which it had accumulated waiting for
the advance which it could make by
the new tariff. Had Secretary Cages
recommendation been accepted by
trust to pay in internal revenue taxes
probably Sl5,OOU,OOO upon the sugar
which it had piled up in it's warehous-
es. That it was possible that it might
be inserted by the conferees, even
though not adopted by the House or
Senate, is shown by the fact that the
House and Senate have since accept
ed the retaliatory amendment which
was inserted by the conferees, although
not prepared by the House or Senate.
That the uncertainty as to whether
this proposed tax on the sugar in the
hands Of the trust would or would not
be imposed made many investors hest
tate is apparent, and that the certainty
that it would not be imposed assured
them of the prospective ability of the
trust to pay large dividends during the
Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1897-08-05

later, and in August, seventeen months
after his Inaugural ton, the Wilson Cor

Gus features of which were the Senate
amendments, forced through against
the most obstinate opposition Of Mr..
Cleveland and his satellites.
The contrast presented by Mr.. Nc
Kinley and the Republican party needs
very little comment. Mr.. Mckinley
has been President only little over
four months, and at his instigation and
through his prompt exercise of the au-
thority confided to him. new tariff
measure has already been formulated,
discussed, amended, and, practically,
enacted into law. 1t may not be the
sort of measure the Democrats want,
but it is just what was expected Of the
Republican party, framed ON the lines
that Republican leaders have always
advocated, and in absolute accord with
their invariable pledges and profess
sions. Mr. Mckinley has disappointed
no one. He has done exactly what the
people who elected him looked for. He
has kept faith with himself and his fol-
lowers, and he has done it with cour-
age, expedition, and sincerity. Wheth-
err it will, in it's operation, bring to the
country the relief and the happiness
predicted by it's authors is beside the
question. It is at least a genuine Re-
publican measure, loyal and COM

promise and avowal, frank and hon.
