wEYLsR,s SUCCESSOR.

Gen. DlnncO Is Said to BE Quite ms
Cruel as ''thc Butcher"
Ramon Blanco y Arenas, who sue
ceeds Weyler as ommander-in-chief OF
the Spanish forces in Cuba and as gov
ernor of the island, is no new hand at
the business he will have to do. In
1894 he was sent by Spain to the Philip
pine islands TO handle the disconnected
subjects there, and his success, judged
from the butcher standpoint. was not
what he desired.
Cubans in New York have no more
love for Blanco than they have for Wey-
Ter and anticipate no relief from the
bloody methods that have marked the

reduction in rank were it not that the
government, in order to leave no doubt
about the matter, has appointed him
honorary governor of Algeria. This is
the first time such distinction has
been conferred on any man, but there
is no question as to the fact that NJ
Cambon deserves it. He is diplomat
of the very highest order, and his sue.
cesses have been noted. His appoint.
ment, all things considered, is one OF
the strongest marks of the Importance
which his new government attaches to
the American embassy. The new am.
bassador is a man of strong character
ability and supreme consciousness oil
the seriousness of his work. There is
no doubt that he will make a splendid
impression in Washington.

And straightway called a message boy

MONUMENT TO CRISP.

Simple shaft Dedicated 10 the Memory
OF the Ex-Speaker.
The first monument to the memory
of the late Charles Frederick Crisp, ex-
speaker of the house of representatives
and United States senator-elect, was
erected recently in the center of the
beautiful family plot in Oak Grove ceme-
terry, Americas, Ga. 1t is one of the SIM
plestshafts that mark the resting places
of the nations greatest men, but it is
in thorough keeping with the life of
him whose memory it commentaries.
1t is not elaborate or highly costly,

but simply a memorial of a wife's de-
votion and children's love. The mon
ument is II feet high and is made of
Italian marble. The east side bears the
inscription: Husband and Father"
On the west side are the words:
"Charles Frederick Crisp, born in Shelf
field, England, January 20, 1s45, died in
Atlanta, Ca, October %, 1896" The
north side bears the inscription:
Speaker of the House of Representa-
tives of the United States, Fifty-sec.
ond and Fifty-third Congress" Cut in
large letters on the base of the stone
is the one word, Crisp"
This monument was erected by the
immediate family of the dead states
man. 1t is handsomely designed and
beautiful in its modesty and simplicity.
The life of Charles Frederick Crisp was
simple to the degree that it was free
from formalities and conventionalities,
and the monument that stands at the
head of his grave is intended to i'm.
press that fact upon the stranger who
may be led by its ever-reminding pres
ence to recall the life and works of the
distinguished dead. The stone was
placed in position without any formal
exercises on the part of the people
though hundreds flocked to the grave
and watched the unwilling with un-
covered heads.

FIEurehends of Our Navy.

On all the new ships of the navy the
American shield has displaced as a
figurehead the designs carried on the
older vessels. This is carved out of solid
brass, with the stars and stripes and the
shield proper fitted close around the
slender bow, while scrollwork extends
backward on either side for distance
of four or five feet. The New York, the
Minneapolis and the Philadelphia have
possibly the most elaborate designs,
some having cost $4,000 or $1,000 each.

Information About Greece


1t had a population Of 2,lS7,20S at
the census of 1890.
It is called "Hellas" by its people.
The mean temperature of Greece is
81 degrees Fahrenheit, but it is hot
there in summer.
No part Of Greece is 40 miles from
the sea or ten from the hills
About one half of the population are
agricultnrists end shepherds.
It has an area of 5000 square miles
or less than half of that of Illinois
with about the present population Of
Indiana or less.
The Greek flag is a white cross on
blue ground-the Bavarian colors and
the Greek cross.
Greece has a few rivers and many
hills. None Of her rivers are nsviga
BILE, aud many of her hills are fortified
It's boundary limits we're determined
By an arrangement of the powers, com.
prising a concert, and including Great
Britain, France, Russia and Turkey
concluded at COnstantinOple on july
q, 1882; but the Turks never surren
dered all of the territory that treat!
calls for by 5000 square miles and hal
a million of Greek people.
Only about 10000 of the inhabitants
speak any language other than Greek
and only about 10000 profess any re
ligeou other than the orthodox Greel
church.
The chief characteristic of the aver
age Greek are his inquisitiveness
fOndness for excitement, love of dis
cussion, desire for knowledge, an apt
itude for learning, and aggressive pat
riotism.
The climate has two striking pecu
liasities heat in summer and the
cold in winter are far more intensr
than those of any other country in TIT
world lying in the same latitude. Gel

her more than twelve to one in pop
uIation.

Labnr Asks Relief.

The representatives of American
labor associations have personally ap-
pealed to congress aud the president
for relief, They propose. that the fol-
lowing methods be adopted for their
relief, which should be granted:
First-Amendment to the federal
eight hour law so as to secure its prac-
tioal enforcement on all public works
By or for the United States government
whether done by contract, sub-contract
or days work.
Second-A remedying of our immi
grafton laws to secure enlarged pro
lection to American citizens and their
families.
Third-Reform in the national bank
ing system and in the issuance of the
currency of the United States so as to
secure the people from the possibilities
and disasters of financial crises.
Fourth-Liberal appropriations for
government public works and for the
improvement of rivers and hsrbors.
There is no doubt that the adoption
of the policy asked would in a measure
restore somewhat the condition of
prosperity labor formerly enjoyed and
! deserves to now experience. Labor is
the groundwork of all prosperity and
in assisting it congress would help all
classes as we'll.

bership Of the house lost its political
virility and its sense Of representative
dignity, that it should stand the indig-
nifty aad the dictator?
Business interests of the country at
large are demanding immediate atten-
ton to public measures Of high impor-
lance. Hundreds of constituencies are
clamoring for their congressman to in
troduce and advocate bills of local mo
ment. Nothing can be done. BlOated
and bullying aristocracy has locked
and bolted the door of legislation, and
padloeked the mouths of legislators.
There is no longer a house of repre-
sentatiVes; there is only a senate and
Thomas Bracket Reed in congress as
sembled. For any efficient purpose OF
influence in legislation there no longer
is a national administration. Nomi-

Populists Forein : a Ouorum

The house of representatives at
Washington is governed mostly by a
committee on rules, of which the
speaker is chairman. He is assisted
by majority of members of his own
party, and logically his wish has great
influence with his associates on the
committee.
It being the intention of the speaker
that no general legislation shall be en-
acted during the present session ex-
cept a revenue bill, only three commit
tees Of the house have been appointed,
aud they are on rules, ways and means
and appropriations.
Having passed the tariff bill, nothing
else can be done without committees
except by unanimous consent, and the
constitution provides that neither
house shall adjourn without the consent
of the other for a period longer than
three days. Any number of members
may adjourn from day to day." but it
requires a quorum, that is, majority
of all the members of the body, to ad,
jOuTn for three days.
A good many of the members have
gone home, and the house, after pass
ing the tariff bill, began sdjourning
three days at a time. The democrats
not objecting, the populists undertook
to force the appointment of commit
tees and failing in that, determined
to demand the presence of quorum
for it requires the presence Of a quo
rum to hear the reading of the journ
al if it is insisted upou.-TOpeka AID
