Bank of Spain in a Bad Position.

MADRID, Sept. 15.-The position OF
the Bank of Spain continues to greatly
concern commercial circles, owing to its
immense note circulation. Paris ex-
change has reached 31.5, the highest on
record. AS the bank has lent the state
150,OOo,0O0 pesetas, repayable without
interest in 1920, it's affairs would be-
come critical in the event of the bank
mourning loss on loans in the absence
of sufficient guarantees against current
accounts and note circulation.

THE CONTEMPORARY suIToR.

Time was that .>sephon, when he found
A Chloe to hi, mind,
Sought not how Dun reported her,
Nor Jagged while time distorted her,
But rushed right in and courted her
As nature had designed.
It's different now. My Lucy, there,
How gladly would WOO,
But shapes of such monstrosity
Confront with such ferocity
My impecuniosity-
What Is a man to do?
Strephon and Chloe had hut,
And, though about the door
The wolf might raise his serenade,
No latter day menagerie bayed
Its warning grim to man and maid,
"Wed not if ye are poorl"
But I-what monsters must l face
When l for Lucy Sue;
What landlords roaring for their rent,
What troops of duns by grocers sent,
And shapes of want and discomfort
Calamitous to viewl
Stay. Lucy, stayl I'm bold and stout.
III rout the grisly crew.
Be constant, love, and hope and wait,
And by the time you're thirty eight
may perhaps have conquered fate,
And when I've won the right to mate,
If you're not too much out of date,
I'll surely mate with you!

THE CABINET MEETING.

Session Devoted Mainly to the Union Pa
cific Question.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 15. Great inter
est attached to the cabinet meeting, the
first held for some time. Every mem
Der except Secretary Long, who is out
Of the city, was in attic ndance.
The session was devoted almost en-
tirely to the consideration of the Union
Pacific question, presumably the advisa-
bility OF taking an appeal from the dc
cree of the United States court at
Omaha for the sale of property under
the foreclosure proceedings. The MEM
bers of the cabinet were very reticent,
an injunction having been placed on
them not to talk of the matter at this
time, but it was stated that an an
nouncement relative to the course the
government would pursue might be ex-
pected in the course of 10 days.

Spanish Liberal Leader Says the Cuban
Insurrection Is Spreading.
MADRID, Sept. 15.-Senor Sagasta,
the Liberal leader, in an interview on
the subject of the Cuban insurrection
says that the uprising, instead of dying
out, is spreading considerably. In adj
dition, Senior Sagasta says the situation
in the Philippine islands is serious. He
also asserts that the Carlist propaganda
in Spain cannot be viewed with indif-
ference, and expresses the belief that a
reconciliation between the political
parties in Spain is impossible as long as
the Conservatives are in power. In
conclusion, Senior Sagasta Gays:
''In my opinion the cortes will not
meet, but if they do meet their exist
ence is ephemereal.
The Liberal leader refused to express
himself regarding the relations between
the United States and Spain.

Better Than Wealth.

1t is laudable ambition which
prompts any person to earn and to save
portion of the earnings. The founda-
tions of most if not all of the colossal
fortunes Of the rich people in the world
had their beginning in that way. But
there are better things in the world than
wealth. Good health is one of them.
We are quite apt to envy the possessor
of great wealth, but far more is to be
envied the man or woman with robust
health, unwavering courage and the
disposition to 60 through life with q
song and smile. The happiest people
in the world are those who work and
work cheerfully. Housewife.

ALLISON AS & LEADER.

In the retirement of John Sherman
from the United States senate, ". b.
Allison Of Iowa becomes the formal
Republican leader Of that body. With
the exception of the venerable senator
from Vermont, Justin Morrill,, who is 81
years old and too infirm of body for the
burdens Of leadership, Allison has seen
the longest term of service in that body.
So after all these years, the leadership
Of the senate comes to the west, as will
the presidency in due time. Allison
will be chairman OF the Republican
caucus and steering committee. AS
chairman Of the committee on appro-
priations. under the senatorial courtesy
regime, Allison has been a great power.
Now he will be still more influential
He is a master Of parliamentary tactics
and his long experience makes him re-
markably familiar with public affairs.
Allison is still in his prime. and 1t is not
surprising that he declined TO enter the
cabinet, considering all the opportuni-
ties which lie before him as the ac-
knowledged head of the senate. That he
aspired to the presidency is we'll known
and it is presumable that he still looks
forward to the possibility of a term In
the White House.

Judge DaIe's Decision.
To the Editor Of the Eagle,

II
We congratulate Judge Dale that he did
( not allow his sympathy In the case Of
| Roberts vs.. Kendle to get the better of
| cases Of that kind. But II he stated a.
he is reported to have done that he 1. sor-
| ~ that he was compelled to do so. mean
| ing by that as the inference Is, that he
| wished he could have decided for the de-
PENDANT, then he deserves mildly, not per-
sonaily, the censure Of every man doing
| business IN this county. Any other judg-
| ment rendered by the district court Of this
county In that case would have resulted
In an infinite harm to the debtor class OF
this county. 1t Is just possible that Judge
Dale has not been trying to renew of late,
any mortgage loans; IL he had he would
have perhaps found out that just such ex-
pressions as he IL said TO have made with
the many fool breaks of his Populist as
soc.ates are the stumbling blocks IN the
way of these renewals. II he had deter
mined that case az insitsd by counsel for
defendant, It would have resulted in de-
priving many a farmer IN this county OF
even An opportunity to have his maturing
mortgage renewed.
/ know that there Is now since this leg
islaturo adjourned with 10 probability OF
Z ever being called together again. and
less disposition on the part of some mort
gage holders to renew these loans, and I
believe If the Populist judges will simply
try these cases according TO law, as /
am fully satisfied, in fact know. that
Judge Dale will, and not attach to their
decisions. or rather. perhaps. not inject
into their remarks any of the philosophy
of Jerry Simpson or PETER that We will
soon commence to do business in this state
at the old stand.
So far as the defendant Is concerned In
this particular instance for any financial
embarrassment which may have over-ta-
ken him, We very much regret and for him
have the profoundest sympathy, as We
have for every other unfortunate debtor,
but just so long as there Is any attempt
to construe laws or express sympathy
that they cannot be so construed so as to
assist the debtor class to the injury and
expense of the creditor class, just so long
VIII the debtor class be compelled to pay
higher rates of interest, and be deprived
of the opportunity to do business on bor
rowed capital. These are my sentiments
as one who Is prominently identified with
this latter class and / think in full touch
with their struggles to pay their debts.
