The most gullible reader of Cuban
news long since learned to discount
heavily the narratives coming through
either source of what was done to-
wards conquering or freeing the island.
What end is expected to oe served by
the stupendous lying both sides indulge
in is not comprehensive to minds FORM
ed on the Anglo Saxon mold. 1t seems
to indicate a race whose minds are il
that undeveloped stage of childhood,
when imagination rules and reason is
nascent. On no other theory can one
satisfactorily account for the absurdity
of the reports of battles sent out from
Havana, of which, says a records
correspondent, United States consular
office in Havana has kept account. ard
which he thus summarizes:
The various successes of the day." as La
Lucia calls them, are officially published ev-
cry afternoon in the daily Havana papers. On
Sept. 1 last he gave it up. The record to
that date showed officially the rebel losses
as follows: officers killed 209; wounded 694;
soldiers killed, 81 .013; wounded SO, 107; horses
killed, 1902 wounded, 1909; captured, 1878;
prisoners, 1928; camps captured, 491; rifles
captured, oU,So9' ROUNDS OF ammunition cap
tured, 77,362; machetes captured, 2,543 and
rebels surrendered, 2,761."
His comment, What an army the
insurgents must have had" seems to
be well founded. To illustrate COM
pletely the fertility Of imagination, this
list should be supplemented with the
total admitted loss of the Spaniards in
killed wounded and CAPTURED in these
engagements. 1t needs the paucity Of
the latter to match the amplitude Of

HOW THEY ARE "ENCoURAGED.-

The interesting information comes
from those en- rapport with the tariff
bill that is now being born at Wash
ington, and great was the Joyful news,
that the farmers will be encouraged"
to raise the sugar beet by the recogni-
ton Of the beet sugar industry in the
forthcoming bill. This is of a piece
with the encouragement" that the
farmer gets out of tariffs protective in
their nature. The nation does not pro-
pose, any more than the state, to pay
the farmer bounty for the beets that
he raises. Bless your dear soul, no.
Assistance Of that kind is limited to the
poor manufacturer. So, when we were
discussing some time ago the pro-
priety of a bounty by the state Of Min
nesOta to encourage the beet sugar in
dustry, we were told at the outset that
this was to be paid, not to growers
of the beet, but to makers Of the
sugar. By giving the latter a COM
Portable income, collected from the
people by taxation, the former are to
be encouraged" to do some hard work.
This is the policy which the tariff franz
ers at Washington follow, as it is the
policy Of all protective tariffs, past,
present or to come. Their idea of the
farmer is that he is the monkey who
pulls their chestnuts out Of the fire,
the cheerful numskull who goes on
working in Indulgence and ignorance,
year after year, in order that they
may revel in luxury on the proceeds of
his labor, collected and turned over to
them in the shape Of tariff taxes.
What more perfect illustration of this
could there be, what exhibition Of more
startling impudence, than the assertion
that the beet-growing industry is to
be encouraged by putting a bounty
on the manufactured product? When
manufacturer is to be encouraged"
when the government begins to assist
somebody to make tin plate or steel
rails or any of the thousand and one
commodities of manufacture it gives
either a direct bonus or authorizes the
maker, by tariff, to charge the con-
sumner price that much larger than
the sum for which he could obtain the
article elsewhere and to pocket the diff
ference. When it wants to encourage
the farmer, it gives the bonus lust the
same to the manufacturer, so that the
farmer may be stimulated to work
more. How long. we wonder, will the
agriculturists of this country submit
tamely tc system which is no more
Of an imposition upon them financially
than it is an insult to their common
sense. The protectionist's idea Of en-
enlargement for the farmer is the same
as that Of the philanthropist who pro-
ceeds TO satisfy one needy mans hun
ger by buying turkey for some other
mans dinner.

BANKRUPTCY BILL UP.
Argument by Mr.. HOar in Favor of
the Measure.

the Measure.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.-Aside from
Senator Chambers speech today, the
senate session was devoid of special
incidents. The Indian appropriation
bill was taken up, but without action.
At $3.50 p. m. the senate went into ex-
ecutive session. The session was brief
and the open session was resumed at
Ais D. m. The bankruptcy bill was
taken up and Mr.. Hoar spoke in favor
Of the bill He said the pending bill
sought to afford help to the 500,0 600
bankrupts Of the country, as well as
protection to the creditor class. The
state insolvency laws were manifestly
inadequate, as only thirteen states had
laws embracing voluntary and invol-
untary insolvency. He explained that
the pending measure provided volunta-
ry as we'll as involuntary bankruptcy.
Referring to the old bankruptcy law,
Mr.. Hoar said 1t had been brought
into disfavor by the scandals attending
its administration, particularly In the
South. In Louisiana five judges had
been driven to resign for fear Of I'M
parchment. The present bill carefully
guarded against possible evils Of ex-
tortionate fees and administrative
abuse.

Sherman gave notice that he would

Crop Con ditiOR8.

The following account of the gen
eral condition of crops in Tennessee
is taken from the weekly Weather
Bureau Report:
The early part of the week was
unfavorable for the work of blowing
and planting, owing to the late ex-
cessive rains. The temperature,
however, was favorable to vegetation,
and wheat, early sown oats, clover,
and other grasses made good growth
and are reported generally in fine
condition. But little progress was
made in preparing land for corn and
cotton, the planting of final seedlings,
owing to the wet conditions of the
soil. A cool wave on the 9th cul-
minating in frost and some ice on the
morning of the 10th, it is feared,
greatly damaged the prospects for
early fruits in many localities. To-
bacco plants are doing well.

Telescope and Shirt-Box.

The most vOluminous testimony
in any contest case which has been
filed within the memory of man is
that relating TO the election in the
Memphis district. The testimony
was unpacked in the clerks office
yesterday and now occupies a closet
to itself. Many members of the
House went over 10 take a look at
it, and as many morals are being
drawn from its packing. The gold
bugs and republicans looked with
pride upon the handsome sole leath
err telescope which contained the
claims of Josiah Patterson to the
seat, while the populists and free
silver democrats saw or pretended
TO see in the dflapidated shirt box,
bound in cotton cord, wherein was
contained Ed Carmack's s'setting
forth" of the case, a vindication of
the peoples friend. The way in
which the testimony was packed
viii cut quite a figure in the debate
of the case, not as much before the
committee as when the case gets be-
fore the House, and the moral of
the telescope and shirt box will be
pointed out with fervor. Washing
