Senior snlvini Charges the Ex-ninis-
ter with inconsistency.

MADRID. November 3.-Senor Salvim
has written a letter to the newspapers
here. in reply to an article on the cuban
question: published in an american
magazine of which article Hannis ray
lor the former United States Minister
to Spain, is the author. The Senior says;
81 am astounded at Mr.. Taylors article
I'm an important American review"
Continuing, Senior Salvini hen pro-
ceeda to tell the following story: met
Mr.. Taylor last April. in a street OF
Madrid. and though, out OF prudence l
asked him nothing. he said: SPAN must
not suppress the Cuban insurrection by
force of arms alone She must carry
out reforms
He did not mention word ABOUT
autonomy, but he added: Peace VIII

THE REFLUENT WAVE.

The New York Times says that the
remarkable Democratic gains and VIC
tories. of Tuesday have scarcely more
hearing on free-silver coinage and the
ether demands of Organism than they
have on the problems of agricultural ais
tress in Iceland"
All the same, taking results as whoie'
Tuesday was a cold day for the opponents
of Organism.
Continuing, the Times says that the
rising tide that lifts Democracy TO the
top. or towards the top, is the refuent
wave from Republicanism, set in mouoh
by that party's abuse of power, and that
the dying cause of free silver was not
In the minds of the people so much as
the living dislike of Dingleyism.'
Well. taking the rehuent movement
only as protest against Republican
abuse of power and Dingleyism, 1t rep
resents a great victory for IAN Oh year.
However, the Times need not be sur
prised if by 1900 the wave in its STEADY
backward roll shall have gathered de-
cidedlv live silver crest, upon when the
Democratic party will be borne into power
in national affairs.

The real Atlanta is a town OF NOOo IN
habitants. 1t is too small to be classed
with such southern cities as New Orleans
Louisville. and Richmond. 1t is not so
large as Nashville by $500. 1t is smaller,
we believe. than Memphis. 1t is poorer
than Charleston or Savannah. 1t Is an
enterprising, growing town, smaller than
scores of towns in the United States that
one rarely ever hears of or reads or save
in the school geographies.-The Green
vile News.
Atlanta has the great advantage OF
being the biggest pebble on that part OF
Uncle Sans beach. 1t is the largest city
in n very extensive region OF country,
and so II hasn't to suffer by reason OF
proximity to and constant comparison
with Washington, Baltimore, Philadei-
phia, and New York.
Again. Atlanta stands ready at all
times (and very properly to annex It's
suburban population. But not so hlcn-
mond. Here our suburban population Is
almost a third as large as our urban
population and though we have severai
times had the opportunity OF annexing
Manchester, our own people could not Dc
brought TO favor the scheme. We envy
Atlanta's aggressive public spirit ana IN
eexible determination TO make her way
in the world.

CHEERING TO DEMOCRATS.

Tuesdays elections give the latest and
in some respects the most remarkable
evidence of the wonderful vitality and
pugnacity of the Democratic party
one short year ago it seemed almost
crushed by the overwhelming audacity
and resources of its old enemy, aided by
Democratic boilers. Now, through its
agency. Mckinley has received a sharp
rebuke in New York while Hanna is
relying upon technicalites and trickery
to manufacture a bare majority upon
Joint ballot TO return him TO the Senate!
And in Virginia. TO which Hanna gave
much attention and where he spent
great sum Of money in 1896, the Demo
Gratis have made the cleanest sweep ever
known in the history of legislative cleo
lions In the Old Dominion. Not only
have we a majority of at least 10000 on
our state ticket but we have triumphed
in nearly every legislative district! 1t
has been a landslide for us-nearly every
body being anxious to repudiate all con-
nection with McKinleyism and Hanna
ism.
In Kentucky too, despite the efforts
of Henry Watterson. Mr.. Carlisle, and
Colonel w. C. p. Breckenridge, and the
national administration, the State has
been wheeled into the Democratic column
again. And in Maryland, which was
snatched from us last year by formida-
Bile bolt, the Democrats, fighting against
a strongly-entrenched organization, have
made such a close contest that it will
take the official count to determine
whether they or the Republicans have
carried the day.
Tuesdays elections afford nothing but
discomfort to the Republicans; nothing
but encouragement to us. They put us In
good condition to wage next years battles
for congressman, and they show thai
with anything like fair fight we may
not only secure a majority In the mex
Halted States House, but may pave The
way for a presidential victory in 1900,
Hurrah, for the Democratic party
Like old Virginia. 1t never tires, ant
though often "killed" neither dies no
surrenders.

The one point in that portion of Gov
ernor AtkInson's message on lynching
which we most heartily commend, ana
which the Legislature should act upon, Is
to make an attempt to assault woman
punishable with death. An assauit Is
capital offence under the State law, and
the attempt should be likewise.-Rome
(Ga) Tribune.
In Virginia an attempt is now punish
able with death and any county or city
Judge may summon a special grand jury
and hold a special term of his court to
dispose of the case. Here the law pro-
yides "A speedy and sufficient punishment
and ii gives general satisfaction.

VIEW YORK AND THE pREsIpENCY.

The election Of Judge Van Wyck as
Mayor of Greater New York causes no
surprise but his plurality is larger than
most persons expected.
Professor Low has the place, the Sc
cond, generally assigned him in advance,
while Tracy comes in third and young
George fourth.
1t is quite possible that If Henry George
had lived he would have proved more sue
cessfui as vote-gctter than his son has
been, but we think the general result
would not have been altered. For a
month or more the knowing ones have
foreseen the triumph of Tammany.
Notwithstanding the torrents Of abuse
that were poured upon that organization
In spite OF the incessant storming of Re-
publican, Mugwump. and boiling news
papers, Tammany possesses the conf
dence OF the masses in New York They
simply do not believe tenth part of the
charges made against 1t. There Is such
a thing as OVERRIDING the denunciation
business, and that is just what has hap
pened there.
Tammany is not without its faults
and no big political organization is-but
Il is not the vile thing that its enemies
have represented II to be. And 1t is to be
remembered that this triumph Of Tam
many's has followed upon the heel of a
term of so-called "non-partisan" govern
ment, under Mayor Strong. The people
had seen enough of strong's good gov
eminent TO make them sigh for re-
turn Of Tammany TO power And they
have 80 ordered II.
That Judge Van wyck Will make q
good. honest. and capable Mayor We see
no reason to doubt. He voted for Mr.
Bryan last year and Is partisan Demo
rrat. but the interests of New York are
as safe In his hands as they would b
In those OF Low. Tracy. or young George
Nor DO We zee In his triumph any blow

NEW CUBAN SITUATION.

General Blanco. the new Captain-"e"e-
raj OF Cuba, who has arrived III ii"oa"
and assumed office. takes a cheeriui VIC"
OF the Cuban prospect. He eApresse'
great confidence that many Cubans WIN
out whose support the reoeiioh i'''''
fail. will be glad TO accept au'o"o'i'''
In other words, he believes ne can
cure for the autonomy plan OF CUBAN
modification the endorsement OF the more
conservative element among the ihsur-
gents.
Cors,aered as an original proposition'
Blanco's programme for winning INC O"
herence of this element woulu seem :"
Justify In no small degree ms optimism
II pledges a regime in striking contrast
10 that of Weyler. II Is concila'ois
and humane. 1t invites the peop'e
70 return TO their homes and build up
waste places. and says that as 10 insui-
gents who accept this invitation eie
past will be forgotten. NOT Is 'heie
reason to question that as far as Diai'eo
is individually concerned, ne Is ae'ie
In good faith. Furthermore, the sehei"e
of Cuban autonomy, which we are
told Spain proposes to grant CUBA
when the island shall have been pacified'
is exceedingly liberal. 1t embraces d
larger measure of home rule than the
Mother Country has ever accorded any
of her possessions.
But neither Blanco's programme nor
the scheme of autonomy can be regarded
in the light of an original proposition.
They both stir memories OF treachery
on the part Of Spain. Blanco, II VIII De
remembered, undertook, in perfect SIN
certify to carry out the reforms, the pro-
mise of which brought. to a close
the long rebellion, but he was recailed
and the old order of things practically
re-established. Therefore, admitting that
the sagasta ministry is acting in
absolute good faith in the matter Oh
Cuban reform what guarantee nave the
Cubans that history will not repeat itself
should the Conservatives again come into
power in Spain?
Another suggestion, as we have before
noted. that enters into the calculation
to antagonize the hopeful view of Blanco'
is, that SPANS radical change OF policy
respecting Cuba is significant confes-
sion OF weakness. 1t is a confession oil
weakness that tends not only to en-
courage a fight to the bitter end for
absolute independence by the original and
more irreconcilable insurgents, but by
