Has Not Achieved q Single Success and
Fears Recall.
HAVANA, Via Key West, Jan. IA
Captain General Weyler is in a very
bad humor and seemingly with good
reason. That he is in danger of recall,
nobody for moment doubts, in spite
of the many official and semi.official
denials from Madrid. Weyler cannot
truthfully be said to have achieved a
single success, diplomatic, administra-
tive, military or otherwise. There are
probably more insurgents, better armed
and supplied, in Pinar del Rio at the
present moment than at any time since
the insurrection broke out. General
Weyler once openly remarked that the
western part of the province alone con-
tanned 1000 armed men, and that large
additional bands of insurgents were
lowering about his trocha. The Span
ish commander sent $1,000 men against
this little army, and the latter disap-
peared and the best efforts of the Span
ish have failed to discover their where
abouts.
Gomez Pushing West.
Gomez is pushing onward from the
east with all the men he can muster,
while at the same time protecting his
retreat. The insurgent bands are
carrying the torch to the very gates of
Havana. The flames of burning prop
erty can be seen from the roof of the
palace, the sound of firearms has fre-
quently been heard of late in the SUBJ
urbs, and, except to hold the cities, the
Spaniards are absolutely powerless,
though they have burned every roof
capable of sheltering wounded insur-
gent, destroying everything likely to
give them food and in every way try.

kon has been taken up by prospectors.
The claims located number about
eighteen hundred, and there is no space
left in the suspected gold district for
more. There are at Dawson and other
mining camps at least $500 gold seek
ers and a thousand more on the trails
coming in. to say nothing of those al
ready arrived for other interests than
those Of hunting for gold-bearing
claims. The mine owners having no
money TO hire men to work their
claims are complaining of the high
wages. But men can accept no less and
live. Yet wages of miners have fallen
from s1.JO to S1.00 per hour. And with
only a yield of So per cubic yard of
frozen dirt, one dollar an hour leaves
nothing TO the mine owner
These newspaper men will remain all
winter collecting facts drawn Of actual
experiences, however, and next spring
much more will be known of that region
and its real deposits than now. The
chances are that thousands of gold
hunters will turn back from Alaskan
points.

NO MORE A SOLID SOUTH.

So far as the Democratic party is con-
cerned there is no longer any sold
south. The old bosses of that once rock
ribbed party can no longer sit down
and figure out a victory for a national
campaign by first sitting down as abso-
lutely certain all the states south of Ma
son-Dixon- The sunny south is no long
er copper-bottOmed. One by one the
scions of state rights nave fallen away.
Old Hickory is no longer worshipped as
a can0niZed saint and a once solid
south is "aIl TO pieces" from Maryland
to Texas. The home Of the ClayS and
Breckehridges has a Republican in the
United States senate, and 50 has West
Virginia. North Carolina boasts NOT
even one Democrat in that body, one
of its senators being Republican and
the other Populist. Maryland has one
Republican senator and Republican
legislature elected ready to choose an
other Both senators from Georgia and
one from South Carolina and one from
Louisiana voted for Republican tariff,
and even one of the senators from Texas
refuses TO endorse Bryan's silver doc
trine. The solid south is slipping away
from Democracy and soon Will be but
a tender recollection. The south has be-
come progressive, is growing and the
hope of moSsbackism in it has fed.

TOO MUCH MONEY.

It will not answer for Mr.. Dingley to
simply announce the necessity for
economy upon the part of congress in its
appropriations, nor vet avail If the Re
publican majority talk economy, how
ever loud and long. Fair words upon
the one hand nor promises upon the
other viii go. There is an absolute de-
mand for earnest and active retrench-
ment which must be needed. An annu-
ual deficit would be as fatal to the Re-
publican party in the next national
campaign as bond selling, to which it
would lead. Secretary Gage includes in
his estimates for next year SI3 100000
for new federal buildings. That item
must be cut to the tune of millions Of
dollars. These are no times for the
erection of new federal buildings, and
the running of fast mail trains. On last
Monday the senate passed bill appro
priating S125,000 for the erection of
federal building at Durham, North Car
olina. There are twenty towns in Kan
sas Of a greater population than Dur
ham. There are hundreds Of cities in
the United States of three TO five times
the population Of Durham, without fed
eral buildings. If little town OF 5000
inhabitants with an appropriation OF
S125,0O is to be the rule or precedent
for federal appropriations, the Republir
can party may as well throw UP the
sponge at once. The very first duty of
the Republican party is to force expen-
ditures down until they are more than
covered by the receipts. No reason
however sound, no excuse however
plausible, viii prove satisfactory to a
majority Of the American people. Econ
omy is demanded, and the demand must
be needed, or otherwise the aching void
will be felt not in the treasury only.

FACTS ABOUT KLoNDIKE.

John D. McGillivray is marring the
rainbow. colors of the Klondike. John,
from his last name, is evidently an
Irishman, but he is newspaper man
who went to Klondike, not TO find gold,
but TO find the truth. 1t takes a news
paper man to ferret out facts success
fully. For getting at the bottom of
truth ordinary professional detectives
and police forces are not TO be consid-
cred on the same day with the newspa-
per. And John ID. McGillivray says the
pot of gold at the end of the Klondike
rainbow has not been found, and John
has no interest in any claim, no preju-
dice of any character. His mission to
the klondike was solely disinterested
further than getting the truth for the
syndicate of newspapers which sent
him. The people already in the Klon-
dixie region are not the only ones des-
tined to suffer and to die of deprivation.
Thousands are even now preparing to
play the role of the "early bird in the
worm episode by making a rush for
Klondike in March, the very worst time
possible. March brings no springtime
upon for rushing food into that region
the chances for starving TO death in the
early summer months will be better
than during the present winter. John
u. Nc. writes that nine out of every ten
men in Alaska wish they were back
home. having learned that there is
neither wealth nor prospect of wealth
for them there. The mines have all
been taken possession of by those on
the ground when the discovery of gold
was first reported, while the reported
high wages are a figment of fertile
imagination. The only way TO find for
tune in the KlOndike, according To this
writer. is 10 possess a claim and sell it

amount of gold taken from the Klon-
dixie has been enormously exaggerated,
He warns all persons to remain away
from the gold fields and escape starva-
ton and kindred woes. Hundreds Of
experienced miners have been prospect
ing all over Alaska during the past ten
years, and only one discovery Of rich
ground, along Bonanza creek and lis
tributary, EldOrado. has been made.
Lured away from home and the COM
forts OF advanced civilization by false
expectations OF easy and immediate
wealth, the men in the gold regions are
desperate. Peace, law and order exist
only in memory.
Another newspaper man, bent on the
same mission. says there are now at the

than can ever hope TO secure paying
