General Azcarraga, Spanish premier
and minister of war, has decided to con
woke the Cortes in November. He an
nounces that he is in accord with the pol.
icy of General Weyler. n
General Weyler, according to the New
York World has sent despatch to that
paper denying that Evangeline Cisneros,
a young Cuban girl of education and re-
finement, has been condemned to penal
servitude. Weyler says that she is to be
| tried on charge that she lured a Spanish
officer to her house and that an attempt
was made there to murder him.
Reports of mills about to start up are

The defeat of the David Lubin's scheme
for bounty upon agricultural exports
has not by any means extinguished Mr..
Lubin. He is at work propagating his
plan, and announces that it is destined to
be one of the great questions of the fu-
ture. The scheme is wild one, but it by
no means follows that it will not enlist
large and enthusiastic support. Logi-
cally it is as good as some other schemes
that have found favor, though it will take
a heap more money.

letter from a prominent New York
Republican, which is published elsewhere,
places the blame or the failure to the
present time of the movement to unite
all the opposition to Tammany Hall upon
the Citizens Union, whose leaders de-
clare that they do not wish to hold any
association or conference with the Repub-
licans. Such knowledge as we had of the
situation was derived largely from the
newspapers, which seemed inclined to
place the blame upon the Republican Or
ganization, alleging about the same oppo-
sition on their part to association or con-
ference with the Citizens Union, which
our correspondent charges against the
leaders of the latter organization. We
have no doubt that the diagnosis of the
trouble given by our correspondent, who
is in a position to correctly understand
the matter, is the correct one. The pur-
suit of Platt is SO much ON the..minds of
most of the New York papers that every
movement to which he is in any way a
party is likely to be twisted to his disad-
vantage. That probably explains their
eagerness to throw the blame in this case
on the Republican organization There
can be no question that Tammany's de-
feat is only possible by q union of all the
voters who are opposed to Tammany upon
one ticket, and there can be no doub BIT
that that union can only be brought
about by Cancellation and compromise;
and the comforting together and compar-
ing views are essential prerequisites for
such compromise. If the Citizens Union
is standing out against such conference
1t is taking course which its leaders
must know will be fatal to success; and
hence the responsibility for failure will
be upon them.

The new. Spanish premier takes the
earliest opportunity to declare that he
is believer in Weyler. That indicates
that there is to be no change of comman-
der in Cuba, and that the work of ''paci-

same as if Canovas had not been shot
By the time that Cuba is ''pacified" by
this method there will be little left of II
but the soil.

SANCTUM SENTIMENTS.

Ballot-box stuffing is responsible
for all of these election contests.
When people were as honest in poll
tics as they are in business dealings,
nobody ever heard of such a thing
as an election contest. A plurality
of one vote decided it. Now, how
ever, the size of mans majority
has nothing to do with it. How he
got it is the questiOn.-BrOwnsville
States Democrat.
The fourth of March will soon be
here and Mr.. Cleveland will retire
to his home at Princeton. 1t is to be
hoped that upon his retirement that
terrible disease, GroverphObia, will
readily yield to standardization
Democrat.
Nothing but radical and sweep
ing reduction in criminal and gener-
al expenses will satisfy the tax pay
ers of Tennessee. Give the birds
and fish rest and look after bust
ness.-Cookeville Press.
We are all prone to despise the
day of small things; and that is why
the people of the south are sending
thousands on thousands of dollars
away from home, to buy things that
ought to be made at hOme.-Mur-

If the Republicans who want to
contest the late election simply as a
partisan move, will pay the
freight" let the contest be had. If
the taX-ridden people must pay it,
then we think it time the farce was
called off.-McMinnville New Era.
The only way to preserve the
Democratic party in Tennessee is to
get it out of the hands of the fee
combine and the machine. Demo-
cracy pure and simple, is the
grandest political party in existence,
but sham Democracy, run by the
pie-biters and for the pie-biters, is a
delusion and a snare. If the legis-
lature does not effectually kill the
official combine, then the people
will do it at the next election. The
future of Democracy in Tennessee is
largely in the hands of the present
legislature.-West Tennessee Wing.

TILLMAN DECLINES A CONTEST.
Lays 1t on the Law Prescribing a Stiff
Bond.

Lays 1t on the Law Prescribing II Stiff
Bond.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, Jan. 16.-The
Hon. q. n. Tillman, late Republican
candidate for Governor, has under
gone change of mind, and the draft
of the bond which was drawn up by
his attorneys and himself last night
will never see the light.
Despite his evasive position
toward newspaper reporters, last
night Mr.. Tillman was ready to give
bond and go on with the guber-
Material contest; but when he got to
town this morning and began to re-
ceive kilograms from prominent Re-
publicans in Washington, in Ohio
and in Kentucky, and from all the
more prominent cities in Tennessee,
depreciating such action, he threw
up both hands and issued card to
the public, stating that he had been
willing to make, and had made,
reasonable sacrifices in the interest
of fair elections and better State
government, but, upon reflection
and the advice of friends, he had
determined not to assume so large a
liability as bond for $4,000 en-
forceable at the will of the joint
assembly of the legislature.
1t is understood that some of the
kilograms which came from outside
the State were written in very
vigorous English, and that they
conveyed the information that he
was making the mistake Of his life
1t was also limited that the bonds
men could not be- found who We're
willing to pay $4,000 in cold cash
just for the purpose of exploiting
alleged Democratic frauds. In
short, Mr.. Tillman's friends did not
think the play worth the candle.
