Senior Sagasta is by no means a new hand
at the Spanish helm. He has been prime
minister twice before. Nor is it the first
time he has had rebellion in Cuba
TO deal with. Indeed when the
present rebellion broke out Sagasta was
IN power, and he attempted to suppress it
by offers of reforms quite liberal for a
Spaniard. But he has never been at the
helm when the ship of state was in quite
SO bad condition as now; and he has
never had SO difficult problems to solve
as confront him today. He has two re.
belllons on his hands, one in the Philli-
pines and another in Cuba both of which
appear to be as far from suppression as
when they were begun, though Spain has
exhausted her treasury and drained her
fighting population in her endeavors to
quiet them down. He has been very free

duct of the Canovas ministry, and con.

cess alone in the solution of the difficult
problems that confront him will save
him from the same. fate..as overlook the
ministry that he has succeeded Unless
he succeeds in pacifying Cuba. without
surrendering it, in short time he may
expect to encounter public opinion rs
adverse as that which was potent in the
| overthrow of Azcarraga. We shall know
his policy certainly when he indicates it.,
though it is reasonable to infer that hav-
ing condemned Canoyas's he will try a
different one. Up to the present time the
only thing that he has made certain il
that Weyler must relinquish the supreme
command in Cuba, but that does moi
necessarily show that he is going to try a
conciliatory policy, for Weyler has shown
that he is as useless for war as he would
undoubtedly be for Cancellation. The
only thing that may be predicted with
certainty about his policy is that it will
no more admit the possibility of the
abandonment Of Cnba than Canovas's
did, because Spanish pride will not toler.

among the probabilities that he will try
to buy off the rebels with promises of re-
forms and the concession of limited
amount of control over their local affairs

success of this plan that he tried it wher

The Hon. George Fred Williams is
taxing advantage of the agricultural
fairs to do little preaching to the
farmers. 1t is the same old song of low
prices for agricultural products which
can only be relieved by the restoration of
silver to an equal place in the coinage.
The trouble this year with New England
agriculture, however, is not low prices
out poor crops. If George Fred had
started in earlier in the season and told
the Massachusetts farmers how they
could make two bushels of potatoes grow
where only one has grown, he would have
done them real service. More products
TO sell, not higher prices, is what the Mas
sachusetts farms want now. George
Fred is year behind events.

The Impending Deficiency of Bread
stutfs' is the subject of an interesting ar
ticle in the October number of the Fo-
rdm. 1t is from the pen of Mr. G. Wood
Davis, who tells us that it is only ques-
ton of time when our Indian corn crop
will receive worldwide appreciation.
According to his statistics those who
are distinctively bread winners. num-
bered in 1871 81, 900, 900, and the acreage
of wheat was at that date 1875. 900, 600.
Since then the consumers have increased
to SIC, 100000 while the acreage Of wheat
has grown to 15S, 100000. From alll of
which the deduction is made, that if this
inequality between supply and demand
continues, 1t is only question Of time
when there will be perpetual wheat or
bread famine somewhere. The conditions
therefore seem proper for pushing of
the corn crop, and also should encourage
the raising of all the wheat we can, for
both of which the markets of the world
are likely to keep up lively demand.
