SPAIN AND HER TROUBLES.

The unjust and tyrannical manner in
which Spain has treated Cuba, her
most valuable colonial possession, has
rebounded upon her own head, and at
present she is face to face with crisis
which may not only result in the inde-
pendence OF Cuba, but also do much to
advance the pretensions of Don Carlos
to the Spanish throne. With dissen-
sions at home and open rebellion
abroad she is in a terrible plight, and
deservedly so, for no European state
has ever presumed to treat it's colon
les in such a heartlcss manner
While the Cubans, in the prosecution
OF their military operations, have won
the admiration OF the world, the Span
iards have only received its execration.
so horrible have been the methods they
have pursued to suppress an uprising
against heartless oppression.
The latest advces from Spain are
that the Conservative administration
will assuredly be reconstructed and
that IL will decide between accepting
the good offices Of the United States TO
settle the Cuban question or incur a
grave responsibility by compelling our
government to take, early in November
whatever steps 1t may deem essential
to bring about and maintain a lasting
and complete peace in the Pearl of the
Antilles.
We cannot imagine that, whatever
action our government may take II
will lead to war with Spain. We have
been patient and have given the
naughty European nation ample oppor-
tunity to terminate the disorder which
prevails in Cuba. Our trading interests
have been materially affected, but We
have permitted Spain to go ahead in
her wantonness and inefficiency. 1t is
now time to call halt upon wal
which has demonstrated the utter in.
ability of the mother country to subdu,
her brave and rebellious children.
Should our interference result in wa
i .ulYopld be short and decisive and al
y most as humiliating to Spain as he
failure to cope with the Cuban rebel
lion. She is in no particular a mattel
for the United States either on sea o
on lduu. ne bNlubbit III Nupd has Wv
pleted her treasury and well-nigh ruin
ed her credit. She has no means where
with to conduct even a losing hgh
with such rich and powerful stat
as our own. The great Powers of Eu
rope could not afford to interfere il
her behalf farther then to interpos
pleas for mercy.
It rests with the United States to sa
whether or not Cuba shall be free with
out further slaughter and devastation
or suffer years OF misery in the slo'
but sure work of shaking on the Span
ish shackles. Public sentiment in thi
country is certainly in favor of polio
which will, with as little friction a
possible, terminate the war and inves
Cuba with statehood.

ADJUSTMENTS
THE KENNEDY PLAYERS

The Kennedy Players opened weeks
engagement at the Grand Opera House
last night, and their initial perform
ances made itpretty certain thatthey are
going to fully redeem the promise that
their excellent work last season indi-
Gated. The Opera House was crowded
by an audience that applauded the ex-
cellent manner in which D'Ennery's
melo-drama, THE Two Orphans" was
presented and the specialtie5 with
which the performance was inter-
spersed. The latter included clever
character singing sketch by the Elmore
sisters, little girls with bright wits and
good voices; funny musical act by
Frank LatOna, who made up as a
"hobo" in reat style, and who showed
uncommon ability in the manipulation
of various Instruments a remarkable
dance by "Flora,' Illuminated by col
ored lights, and presenting q number
of striking novelties, and some fine
stereopticon views exhibited by Profess
sor Charles q. Mckenzie
The play Of "The Two Orphans. %
with its wealth of striking incidents
and romantic and tragic phases, is so
familiar as to need no other comment
than that the company presented it in
admirable fashion. John J. Kennedy,
as Pierre. the cripple, and 70. p. Sulli-
van, as Jacques, the outlaw, fully sus-
tanned their regulations as actors of a
high type, while Misses Gertrude Dicn
Magill and Carrie Louis, as Henriette
and Louise respectively, filled these
roles in admirable style. AS the viii
| lainous Mother FrOchard Miss Gordon
gained the united dislike Of the big au-
dience, and at the same time proved
