An Example of Tncomprehensible
Idiocy

Lcndon, Aug. 9.-I,he afternoon pa
pers, in theircomments upon the as
sassination Of the Spanish prime min
lister, express themselves on the same
lines as the morning papers upon the
/ incomprehensible idiocy of the murder
of the man who was mainly RESPONSE
bic for giving universal suffrage to
Spain. They also advocate the sup
preston of anarchy by force, pointing
out that the history Of nihilism in Rus
STA proves that force, consistently and
steadily applied, is the remedy for
clearing out the pestilent gang. The
St. James Gazette regards the death
of Senior del Castillo as being a heavy
disaster for Spain, adding:
"Canovas was not great, but he was
a statesman. During the Cuban crisis
he governed with energy, and if he had
been a very great man he might have
told his countrymen that they must
alter their WAYS of dealing with the
colonies or be prepared for evil times.
But the Spaniards would hardly listen
to such a lesson, even from the tongue
of an angel. Maybe if he had had
the choice, Canovas would have pre-
ferred the nlartyrdon which has over
taken him rather than to have seen
the collapse which is only more threat
ening TO Spain. In the meantime the
murder will DESTROY the already I'M
stable administration and, in the pick
of a successor to the late premier, the
queen regents position is most diff
cult She may be driven to call upon
some soldier-Campos or Polavieja-
which would be a misfortune to Spain
abroad The crime must have but one
consequeace-to make the kaiser and
his brother sovereigns less disposed to
adopt gentle methods with socialism"
The Daily News comments this morn
ing upon the official faulty of allow
ing a notorious anarchist to travel with
Canovas." 1t adds: "All talk about the
independence of Cuba or about a Span
ish republic is obviously beside the

This, however, is exceptionally cyni-

of the Cuban junta. speaking of the
assassination of Premier Canovas,
saiG:
4 feel sorry for the fate that Cano-
vas met, as l am not a believer in as
sassination, and 1 cannot but express
sympathy for his family. and his
friends. At the same time, had he
lived and attempted to govern any
other people among whom right and
justice and public spirit prevailed in
the way in which he has governed the
Spaniards, possibly he would have met
his death long ago upon the scaffold
after a proper judicial trial
This act may be the prelude to 9TH

Spain showing any Willingness to
come to an understanding with the Gu
ban revolutionists in order TO acs.nowl-
edge the independence of the island.
It appears to me that no public man in
Spain would have the moral courage
to agree to separation, except under
coTpusion. General Martinez Campos

Puritan Spirit of the Dutch Beers.

From 'SThe Two Republics of the
Southern Cross by Francis E. Clark.
D. D.. in American Monthly Review of
Reviews for August: The Puritan type
of character is very strongly developed
among the Dutch Beers, and this it is
which the Rt. Hon. Joseph Chamber
lain must reckon with in dealing with
that handful of Dutch farmers that in
habit the Transvaal. do not mean to
aver that the Beers are either as in
telligent or as morally spotless as the
Pilgrim fathers, and it is very sure
that they are not aotuated by as lofty
religious motives, nor have they been
tested by such stern experience as were
the Mayfower's passengers and their
descendants. But they. certainly are
imbued with the Puritan spirit, with
many of its excellences as well as many
of its defects, and this spirit makes
them a people to be reckoned with by
the migihTiest Of nations.

Praise For the western Farmer.

From Progress of the United States
The Prairie States by Michael G.
Mulhall, F. S. s., in North American
Review for August: One hand in the
prairie states raises as much food as
five can do in the most advanced coun-
tries of Europe, and this is evidently
due in a great measure to the use Of
improved agricultural machinery. for it
is a strange fact that the reaping hook
is still seen in some parts Of England,
France and Germany. Nor is this the
only advantage possessed by the west
ern farmer for land can be purchased
much more cheaply than in the eastern
states, and at less than one-third of the
prices in Europe
Such has been the industry of the
western farmers that their wealth in
creased ninefold in 40 years. the value
of farms in the L prairie states in 1890
being equal to the agricultural wealth
of ihA Austria" enDIr- We find that
during the said 40 years the average
nun Der of persons engaged in farming,
according to census reports, was $780,
900. the increase in farming wealth
having been 1856, 900, 900, or 1892. GOO. 900
per annum; that is to say, each farming
hand increased the public wealth by 500
d wear.
The prairie farmers possess as much
wealth as four French. six German. or
Is Austrian farmers. while their taxes
are much lighter, and they are free
from military service.
