The all-absorbing question in regard to
Cuba is as to the course =, I the new Span
ieh cabinet in regard to autonomy and
what effect it will have On the policy OF
the leaders of the Cuban revolution
Senior Sagasta, the liberal Spanish pre-
mier. says his party is prepared to grant
to the island all possible self-gov ern
ment, bread tariff, and every concession
compatible with an inhexibie defense of
Spanish rule and sovereignty in the
West Indies, but will not assent to for
eign interference ia any shape. All of
the Cuban leaders in the United States
reject the proposals of autonomy for the
people of the island; but are willing TO
guarantee Spain an indemnity of $780,
900, 200 for the acknowledgement OF the
independence of Cuba. AS no party in
Spain could accept such proposition
it. looks very much like the end of the
revolution was not yet in sight.

The refusal of the Chicago Federal ion
of Labor to join in demonstration in
the memory of the anarchists executed
for the Haymarket- massacre shows that
the great majority of the laboring men of
that city and of the country generally
have no sympathy with that class of rev
olutionists. In this country since the
foundation of the government the ballot
has been found sufficient to remedy exist
ing evils; but even should this fail there
is the last resort of open and honorable
revolution without recourse to assassina-
ton by the most cruel and blood thirsty
methods

TIMES of this continent would be most
ridiculous assumption without a COUNTRY
thoroughly HOMOGENEOUS IN sentiment
and aspiration. Even now Europe Is
booming alarmed at the growing power
of this country and it's claims IN regard

States in the near future is by no means
impossible, and, when every man and ali

the honor and integrity OF this country.
the rights Of few negroes to hold Fede-
raj Offices In the South would pale into
utter insigni6cance even in the minds of
those who now profess to love them and
would reward them for their votes in
helping to secure for their candidate the
Republican nomination for President.
Until his recent appointment of negroes
to Federal positions in the South Presi-
dent Mckinley was looked upon by tho
white people of this section as honest
and comparatively liberal in his views
for Republican; bur his recent course,
if persisted in, will thoroughly reverse
this sentiment, and he will be universally
regarded by them as narrow and bigoted.
1t is hoped however, that the administra
ton will awake to the folly of such n
policy, and, while insisting on absolute
justice to all classes and conditions of
men in all sections of the Union, will
have the sense to see that in ignoring
the prejudices of the intelligent people
OF this section under the plea of false
sentimentality it is pursuing course
founded on neither right nor justice.

Yes, Scrofula, ifanything, may be called
the advertisement of foul blood. 1t is the
scourge of the world offensive, painful.
facilitating, stubborn and well nigh
uncomfortable.
Outward applications do not cure, they
only drive the difficulty to new quarters.
Emollients may palliate, they cannot
abolish the evil. There is but one sure
way out, and that is to eliminate tho
faint from the blood.
There is one remedy that can effect this,
and it is the only one that, so far as wo
know, has almost invariably succeeded =
even where the system has been poisoned
by long years of faint, and the ravages to
be repaired are tremendous. That remedy
is Hoods Sarsaparilla. Read this:
My daughter was afflicted with i'm
pure blood. There were running sores
all over her body and they caused her
much suffering. We tried medicines that
were recommended as blood purifiers,
but could not see that they did any good.
A friend told me about Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla and began giving the girl this med
fcine. The result was that she was per-
fectly cured after taking few bottles.
She has had no symptoms OF scrofula

Shetland pony of the zoo in Michigan

first act of Venus was to pounce upon
the unfortunate pony.
As the teeth and claws OF the great
beast sank into the neck of Dot, a
scream that only horse can give came
from the animal. The little horse tried
to break it's halter, but before the strap
gave way Venus drew sharp claw
across its throat and the pony sank TO
the floor, while the ioness drank It's
blood.
Venus was operated on last Sunday
for a spinal trouble. and after the per-
formance in the evening two employees
attempted to dress the wound. The
lioness was in shifting cage and man
aged to get through the door. The
men fled for their lives. Lassos were
