IT'S THE CUBAN BONDS
That New Yorkers Have Bought that
Makes Them Ask for Interven ton.

That New Yorkers Have Bought that
Makes Them Ask for Interven ton.
Chicago, Nov. S.-William E. Curtis
writes the Record from Washington:
Mr.. r. A. c. Smith of New York who
represents a syndicate in that city that
has contracted for several millions of
the bonds of the Cuban republic is
persuade the president not to accept
the answer of the Spanish government
to the instructions of Minister Wood
ford. Mr.. Smith represents that the
cordial and cOnciliatOry reply is intend
ed to deceive; that it is a diplomatic
trick for the purpose of pOstpOning ac-
ton on the part of the United States
with reference to Cuba, and thatthe pro-
posed reforms are intended to humbug
the people of the United States like
others that have been promised in past
years.
The president has not been much i'm
pressed by the representations of Mr..
Smith, and will accept the representa-
tiOns of the Spanish ministry as sincere
until he has good reason to believe 9TH
erWise. Mr.. Smith came to Washing
ton last spring with Col. John J. Nc
Cook, bearing q proposition to purchase
the island of Cuba, which was extern
SiVely discussed in the newspapers at
that time. Since then he and the syn
dicate these gentlemen represent, has
made a contract with the representa-
tiVeS of the Cuban junta under which
they agreed to take a large block of
United States shall recognize the indie
pendence of the republic or the belli-
gerency of the Cuban insurgents.
This matter, however, is indefinitely
assurances of the Spanish government
in good faith, and will consider no pro-
position or policies that conflict with
his duty in that respect.

Fussing About Nothing.

At Populist headquarters today the
claim is made that returns from all
counties in the state. except seven in
the extreme western portion, show that
the Populists have made a net gain Of
p county officers over the result of 1895.
The complete returns are not tabulated
at Republican headquarters, but the
officers of the committee claim that the
complete result will show a net gain for
the Republicans, both in offices and to-
tai votes. The fact is, the recent cleo
ton doesn't prove anything.

The development of our public school
system is one of the phenomenal growths
of this remarkable age, and its influence
upon the moral, social and commercial
questions must Of necessity be most
marked 10 a generation or two. Thirty
years ago and even less, a high school
was unknown in South Jersey, while
trained Instructors were equally rare,
except in private schools, and the birch
rod and the three RS were the ideal
curriculum in the country school. All
this has been changed, and trained
teachers and graded schools are 0 the
now, at this season of the year,
tJhaye school commandments in even
country districts as well as the more pre-
tentious town or city school, and indeed
the present school law in New Jersey
contemplates no distinction, but basis
the efficiency on grades aud gives an
open field to the residents of all sections.
TAen, too, the curriculum OF the higher
grades of our public schools are the equal
for msntal culture and discipline of many
0! the seminary courses of instruction,
and best of all the door of the public
school stands open for all, and confers
its blessings without reference to social
distinctions, SO that when the ultimate
results are considered, no public money
is better expended and none brings q
larger return than that which is invested
i'll the education and training of our
youth. For, after all, wealth is not in
houses and lands and stocks and bonds,
butin the character of the citizen.

A rather novel point was raised on
Tuesday in the Gloucester County Courts
by Assemblyman David O. Watkins,
counsel for several of those against whom
indictments had been found for their
alleged connection with the recent
Swedesboro riots, who made an effort to
have the Indictments quashed on the
ground that three of the grand jurors of
the inquest which had returned the indiot-
ments, were Ineligible to serve on that
body because they were beyond the age
of those whom the law specifies as
eligible for grand jury duty-65 years.
He supported the motion by an able
argument, and was backed by ex Judge
Clymer. Judge Jessup overruled the
motion, claiming that the objection was
purely technical, and that the legal rights
of Done of the accused would be pre-.
JUDGED by the action Of the grand jury.
This is the first instance, so far as We
know, that the question Of age in the
selection of grand jurors has been raised
bv members of the bar as a means to
nullify their findings. The hint will no
doubt be sufficient for sheriffs hereafter in
selecting grand Jurors to keep within the
limit specified by the law-21 to So
years.

President Mckinley upon his second
visit to Philadelphia this week to form
ally open the Commercial Museum, was
accorded a most hearty welcome by the
people and his presence gave a national
recognition to this new and worthy en-
terprise, which has for its offset an en-
iarged international exchange of pro-

in his address, and he condensed the
inspiration and object Of the Commercial
Museum in a single paragraph, as fol-
lows: 'The movement is inaugurated on
broad and progressive lines. rs authors

of international can be directly
promoted by systematic study and dem

THE LETTER,
The Religious Society of Friends
and Temperance.

Editor Public Ledger:-From year to
year there is a marked and steady adj
vance among the members of the Relig
ious Society of Friends in the cause OF
temperance. Tue reports which came
up to their yearly meeting this year we're
certainly more encouraging than any
hitherto received. 10 view of the fact of
their advanced position in his respect,
might they not properly take, as a so
ciaty a more decided stand with reference
to the present condition in the country at
large of the traffic in Intoxicating drinksP
We are giving careful attention to the
education of the young in the public
schools of many of our States in regard
to the use of intoxicants, an attention
which can but bear good fruit in the
coming generation. But are we doing
our full duty in the matter of removing,
by legislative action, the temptation from
the young people of to-day? Friends
refuse to sign applications for licenses,
for the sale of liquor, but might they not
go further, as a society, and use the
weight of their influence to bring about
the entire prohibition of such sale? l am
aware of the prejudice which the mere
use of the word prohibition" may pro
duce in some minds. This is because
this word has become Unidentified with a
third political party laboring toward this
same end. Now, although we should
have no controversy with any who are
earnestly working in their own way to
promote the AUS of temperance, may
not Friends advance it by a method that
will not excite this prejudice, and be
equally, if not more effective in the end?
Why may they not make the community
understand that, while they entertain
their independent views on matters
which coucern the great political parties
of the country, they will support that
candidate for Office, to whichever polit. |

The newspaper reports concerning
Miss Wizards health have been greatly
exaggerated. So far from being in the
critical state they would lead one to sup
pose, two noted experts, who have seen
her recently, say that many of the very
best years for service of her life are be-
fore her, if only she will consent to really
rest for a season and not play at resting
with a stenographer at each elbow and
her head constantly devising new plans

Fill a bottle or common glass with urine
and let it stand tw~enty-four hours. A sedi-

of the kidneys. When urine stains linen it is
positive evidence of kidney trouble. Too
frequent desire to urinate or pain in the back,
is also convincing proof that the kidneys and
