The death cup occurs in Europe as
well as In America, ard it is mainly from
European sources that Our knowledge of
it is obtained. Plinyh, ascribes numerous
cases of poisoning to fungi, and it appears
probable from the descriptions given that
the poisoning was produced in most in
stances by the above plant or its several
varieties. One foreign authority has col
lected 81 cases of poisoning caused by the
death cup, Is per cent of which were fatal
Ind another has found descriptions of 4S
cases which occurred in Germany alone in
the years from 1850 to 1900. In the United
States 1t Is said that as many as % deaths
during the summer of 1893 were due to
some species of anlanita
The amount of the, substance OF this fun
gus which Is necessary to produce death is
very small. The third part of medium
sized uncooked cap is said to have proved
fatal to boy twelve years of age, and
smaller amounts have affected older per-
sons very seriously. Even the handling of
specimens and the breathing of the spores
nave apparently given rise to very pro-
nounced uneasiness. The spores are also

President McKinley's Cuban message
is not regarded as document of power.
We were told to wait till we heard from
Mckinley on Cuba and he would give it
the tue ring. Well, the message merely
states that 900 to 800 American citizens
on the island are suffering from want of
food and medicine, and an appropria-
ton of not less than $50, 900 is asked for
their relief, or to transport some of
them to the United States. That is all
There is lot word OF syllable in re-
probation of the barbarous and cruel
methods of warfare enforced by Weyler,
and which have brought about this con-
dition of affairs President Cleveland,
in his last message, did not spare words
in denunciation of these barbarities, and
clearly intimated that if not abated it
would be the duty of the United States
to intervene in the interest of civiliza-
tion and humanity to save the island
from devastation.

The Massillon Independent says the
Republican party kept John Thomas, of
Bethlehem township, in the legislature
for four years. This is all, it seems. The
Independent omits to say that Massil.
Ion joined Alliance in their convention
two years ago and knocked out this
same John Thomas for the State Senate
and nominated and elected Williams, of
Alliance. The Massillon Republicans
did not want Senator from Bethlehem.
We can thus judge of Massillon sym
pathy for Bethlehem. The Independent
is anxious to nominate a ticket for the
revived Democracy of Stark. The party,
however, will do its own business, and
quite likely this year in a winning way.
People generally think this Mckinley
"prosperity" is, if anything, worse than
Grover Cleveland's hard times. The
"sound money clubs" of last fall, are
not active now. The silver clubs, how
ever, are not sleeping, and they mean
business.

The Kentucky legislature has had a
fearful time approaching riot and blood
shed. The Republicans and gold Dem
ocrats had agreed on an amendment to
the existing ballot law providing that
where a candidate is nominated by two
parties for the same Office his name may
be placed on the ballot under the device
OF either party. The scheme was to
allow of fusion between the Republicans
and boiling (gold) Democrats that the
same name could be on both tickets. 1t
involves the question whether fusion
candidate should have the advantage OF
his name three or four times on the
official ballot as the candidate of this,
that or the other party.

Total for army and navy y...""S $780, 997, ,2e5
For about 5000, 600 last year-only
s17,OOO,0OO more than the United States
spent-Great Britain had an army of
$500 officers and l4S,0OO men, the main
portions of which we're scattered in
garrisons throughout the world, while
some detachments were frequently
engaged in active warlike operations.
This does not include theI India estab
lishment.
For sll2,OOO,OOO year, less than
double our army expenditure, the Ger
man empire maintains an army of %, 900
officers, $4,000 men and 100000
horses for all purposes. An army
twenty times as numerous as that on
our muster rolls costs less than double
the expense account of ours.
The cost of the United States navy is
about in the same disproportion to the
number of its ships, guns and men as
compared with other nations. Both
establishments are topheavy and are
maintained with the same extravaganza
that is displayed in all other depart
ments of the Government.
No one would advocate a reduction in
the pay of the soldiers or sailors nor a
decrease in the supplies for clothing,
arms and food. But it is evident that
greater economy could be practiced
without impairing the efficiency of the
land or naval forces.
1t should be mentioned that the above
figures do not include the appropria.
tions for pensions.
