The Crisis snnin.

The cutting OF Senator Comas by ForeigU
Minister the Duke of Tetuan was not the
cause Of the crisis in the Spanish cabinet
but was merely an excuse for the out
break. Senator Comas belongs TO the lib
eral party, which IS led by ex-Minister
Sagasta. The liberals have for some time
been Disguised with the way affairs were
going. More than once they have hesitat-
ed to vote for bills 10 provide funds for
the war in Cuba, for the reason, as they
said. that they were getting tired of sup
porting a government, which vas always
piling Up expenses, but never won victo-
ries. The naggins by the liberals had, Of
course. considerably ncttled the conserva-
tives (the government party so that when
there was a personal controversy between
the Duke OF Tetuan and Senator Comas it
did not take them long TO reach a fighting
pitch not so much on account Of what
passed between them as what had already
passed between the parties to which they
respectively belonged. Thus the slap
which the duke administered to the sena-
tor was not regarded as a personal, but
as a party matter; and that is why the
liberals have refused to sit in the cortes
until ample apologies shall have been
made to them
The outcome Of the quarrel may have
important bearing upon Spain ) foreign re-
Iations. and consequently upon this coun-
try and Cuba. Should the conservative (or
Castillo ministry be forced to resign and
a liberal or a mixed ministry be formed
in its place, the policy of the government
would probably be modified in some con-
siderable degree. More especially is this
true, since it is thought Gen. Martinez
Campos would come to the front in the
event Of a Encouragement Of the cabinet
Campos as is well known, is peace ma
ker, as well as strong man and a great
general. lie has, indeed, been referred TO
in his own country as THE savior Of So
ciety' on more than one occasion. It will
be remembered that he was recalled from
Cuba by the conservative ministry be-
cause he was TOO humane and considerate
of Cuban rights, and for the further rca-
son that he was known to hold the opin-
ion that Cuban liberty was only a question
of time, and not a very long time. either.
He is known TO favor most liberal conces-
sions to the Cubans and the cultivation of
amicable relations with this government.
Therefore, if he were to be given the di-
rection of Spanish foreign affairs. or if
some man in sympathy with his views
were to succeed to the foreign Office, the
effect would doubtless be felt at once on
both sides of the water. The change
would mean at once a cessation of Wey-
lerlsm In Cuba.

A lesson of seIf-ControI.

An eminent Scotch divine was in his
youth regarded by the villagers where he
was brought up as gay, wild lad" says
the Weekly Telegraph One day he jump
ed over into an old woman's garden and
commenced to pluck the berries off the
bushes. The old woman, coming to the
door, observed the lad at his operations.
and gave chase, whereupon he leaped the
dyke, and was soon scudding up the road.
the old woman yelling after him. EYE
lang-legged deevil! I'll sort we for this
yet"
Years after he took the degree of IL. D.,
and, preaching in his native village, he
observed the old lady whose garden he
had plundered seated in the congregation.
At the close of the service he sent the
beadle to say he desired to speak to her.
After some talk she inquired the meaning
of the Ill. D." after his name.
oh" said he, with a waggish look in
his eye. do you not remember clubbing me
that youdself on the day 1 plundered your
garden?"
The words came back to the old woman $
mind, and with a CLEAN of horror on her
face, she retired, exclaiming, "Well, ]
neverw and mentally resolved she would
be more guarded with her tongue in the
future.

Neither stngnnnt Nor De.pcrotc.

Both Senators Aldrich and Vest made
poor selections of language for the open
ing sentences of their speeches in com
mencement of the tariff debate. Said Sem
ator Aldrch: Mr. President: The bust
ness of the entire country is in state
of suspension awaiting the action of the
Senate upon the bail under consideration.
Now, 1t is very well known that suspen-
sion of business means the cessation of
payments, the liquidation of affairs. the
stoppage of transactions 1t is equally
well known that there is not throughout
the entire country, a cessation of pay
ments. or stoppage Of transactions or
a general movement in liquidation. on the
other hand. the custom house receipts
show that a greatly increased amount
OF business is being done. Everybody
who can do so is buying in anticipation
Of the time when the new tariff bill shall
become a law. So far from there being a
suspension of business awaiting the action
Of the Senate upon the bill, everybody is
hustling to do as much business as possi-
bic, knowing fun well that cessation
Of business activity will inevitably follow
the passing and signing Of the new law.
Said Senator Vest: I'VE know the des-
perate condition of the country, the ruin
ed homes and the blasted hearts, 1t
cannot be denied that adverse conditions
exist: that times might be much easier
than they are. But win any sane man
agree that this is a desperate country of
ruined homes and blasted hearts? Statis-
tics show that the country is increasing
in wealth every year, that the people are
paying themselves out of debt, and are
daily enjoying as the common things of
life what would have been considered lux
ures twent y-five years ago. There has
been progress and improvement all along
the line, especially since the present dem
ocratic tariff went into effect. II will not
be denied that the country might become
desperate under a continuance of such re-
publican legislation as the proposed tariff
bill. But the people will not suffer it to
continue on the statute books. They will
overthrow the political syndicate which
has captured the government aud reassert
themselves. The country is young, and
strong, and hopeful and fourshlng; and
it will not permit itself 10 be victlmized
for long at time by a few protected in
terests and self-seeking politicians.

She Understood.

The young man who had a thirst which
rose up and seized him by the throat like
fierce Numidian lion was going into a
Broadway hotel yesterday for-refuge from
the burning SUM- says the New York Even
ing Telegram. He heard a low, musical
voice behind him. Charmed to see her,
Of course he was. She was a young wo-
man whom he had met up the state, and
her father and mother were with her.
Lorenzo the Magnificent is not to be COM

day The girl and her parents looked
humbly pleased when he mentioned lunch

thirst, which had been forgotten, sprang
upon that young man. and the last con-
dition of him was worse than the first.
He wrote at the end of the luncheon or

cup

beyond all telling, gave no sign. He I'M
derstood his business. That cocktail in a
teacup was for the young woman. A good
waiter has more than logic. He has in

The teacup was placed before the girl,
and the youth with the thirst felt his

Vol a Hnnnr Family.

Senator Vest did not, IS il was alleged he
would, enter a protest against the inter-
nal revenue features Of the Senate tariff
bin at the beginning OF the debate on the
measure. The features Of the bill which
il was said he would antagonize are the
beer tax and the tobacco tax. twas also
said that ne would oppose TIE taxing OF
tea. II transpires, however that the prin-
cipaI kicking against these taxes has not
been in the democratic ranks at all, but
among the republicans. The democrats
have all along regarded tea as a legitimate
article for revenue taxation. and for
months have urged that an increase in the
beer tax and a readjustment of the sugar
schedule would give the government the
revenues needed, without the necessity
for upsetting the whole tariff law.
Some of the republicans. however, have
recently become very much incensed be-
cause of the proposition 10 tax the poor
mans breakfast table, through the tea
item. and the poor mau's drink through
the beer item. Chief among these advo-
Gates of the dear poor people are said to
be Senator Hanna of Ohio and Senator

The increases are inhnitessimal, but they

Whether Hanna and Plat will have the
courage'to take their fight into the Senate
remains to be seen. Enough has been de-
veloped already however, to indicate thai
the fight in the Senate is not to be as
calm and as easily won as some of the
republican leaders had hoped it would.
Senator Aldrichs claim that the bill is a
panacea for all ills is to be strongly dis
puted, and by members of his own party.
The republicans are not a happy family.

The south and Protection.

1.-THE growth of the protection senti-
ment in the south" is a cucumber from
which the New York Tribune, with much
labor and pains. proceeds to extract some
sunbeams which it regards as very CRATE
full. 1t is pointed out by the Tribune as
an indisputable evidence of the growth
Of this sentiment that already, during the
extra session of congress, twenty-eight
amendments to the tariff bill proposing
protection to southern industries have
been introduced. The further circum-
stance that five southern democrats in
the House voted in favor of the Dingley
BILL is also regarded as significant.
When the facts are looked into. how
ever, it appears that the twenty-eight
amendments introduced in the Senate
we're submitted by four republicans. in
Guiding the republican senator from
Maryland. one popunst and one democrat.
The republicans are Elkins of West Vir-
ginia, Pritchard of North Carolina, Well
ington of Maryland, Deboe of Kentucky;
the populist is Butler of North Carolina,
and the solitary democrat is McEnery Of
Louisiana. 1t is needless 10 remark upon
how much, or rather how little, these men,
with the possible, exception of McEnery,
represent southern sentiment 1t, would,
indeed, be rather broad to claim ltfat the
Louisiana senator was representative of
even his own state as a whole, notwith-
standing his amendments have to do only
with the rice and sugar tariffs. Each re-
publican senator from the south is a po-
itical accident and represents only a
faux pas on the part of the democrats
who should by rights have filed the seats
1t is altogether erroneous to say they
were sent to the Senate because they
we're protectionists and the states which
they nominally represent have accepted
the protection idea.
So far as the introduction of resolutions
is concerned. however. the end has not
yet been reached A number Of other res
buttons proposing increased rates on
southern products will be introduced; but
not for the reason that the south accepts
protectionlsm. 1t is forced to move in
self-defense. 1t finds itself attacked by
the greedy protected interests OF the north
and west, and is under the necessity Of
taking steps for self-preservation. The
south would vote tomorrow for tariff
for revenue only, and would desire that
tariff to be as near to free trade as might
be consistent with the needs of the treas
ury. But so long as the iniquitous high
tariff system is to be fastened upon the
country for time, the south demands
that the system shall not hit hsr harder
