King, Queen, and Chamber OF Com
merce.

Mr.. ALEXANDER EoroR oRR. In CON.
sion Of her Jubilee, in the nameo of the Cham.
Der Of Commerce Of the State Of Now York,
referred to the fact that the original charter
Of that body had been received directly
'from the hand Of your illustrious ancestor,
King GEORGE the Third" .
This must be deemed to be the most re
markable utterance inspired by the Queen'a
jubilee, at least from any American eource.
Whatever our views Of Queen VICTORIA,
we have not been accustomed In this
country to regard GEORGE III. 40 an illus
trious character.
We wonder whether Mr.. ALEXANDER
read a short but expressive document, com
monty known as the Declaration OF indie
pendence. It can be obtained almost for
the asking, or, at all events, by the expen'
diture Of O few pennies, at any book store.
We would suggest The purchase Of o copy
for the library Of the Chamber Of Com
merce, and II the treasury of that organiza.
tion il not In such q condition as to war
rant the expenditure, we will cheerfully
contribute the necessary amount.
Having obtained q copy Of the Declare.
tion of Independence, II Mr.. Orr and his
associates will turn to the second page Of
that memorable instrument, they will find
q clear and cogent statement Of the various
acts by which the "illustrious" GEORGE Ill.
endeared himself to the American colonies
In the time Of WASHINGTON and FRANKLIN
and HANCOCK and JEFFERSON.
Read q few Of the meritorious perform
ances Of the Industrious" monarch Of the
Chamber Of Commerce:
He has abdicated government here by declaring nj
out Of bis protection and waging war against rs.
"He has plundered our seas, ravssed our cossts
burnt our towns, and destroyed tho nves of oui
people.
he II, at this time. transporting large armies Of
foreign meroenaries 70 complete the works Of death
desoiAton. and tyranny already begun. with circum
stances Of cruelty and perndy scarcely paralleled u
the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy th.
head OF . civilized nation.
"He has constrained our fellow citizens, taken cap
tive on the high seas, to bear arms against thei
country. TO become the executionen OF their friend
and brethren. or to fall themselves by their hands.
,"Ho hes excited domestic insurrections amongst N
and has endeavored to bring on the Inhabitants o
our frontiers the merciless Indian savages, whoa

ton Of all ages, sexes, and conditions"

long period, but ten times as many year,
will not serve to soften or mitigate tn
severity of the judgment which all patriotic
Americans must pass upon the infamou
treatment which this country received o
the hands of the British sovereign whom
It pleases the Chamber of Commerce of tn
State Of New York to characterize as tn

BoF HERO WITH WooDEy LEGS
Raced with fire Down = Mountain ana saved
Human Lives.

From the Providence Journal,
RICHMOND, Va, June 1s.-Not far away from
the Virginia line lives a two-thirds youth, for.
unfortunately. both Of his lower limbs are nrlt.
fetal, who has to his credit an act of heroism
which should make him u loved lad as long a.,
the memory OF those who know him lasts. His
name 10 "Tim" olin, and his home Ia away IN
in the mountains, thirty-lvo miles from every.
where. asa book agent once said OF that part OF
the country.
This bit Of q boy about three weeks ago heard
that forest flres were sweeping everything that
would burn before thom along the virginia side
OF tho mountains. One afternoon he climbed
through the snow to the top Of the mUuniniu.
one Of the steepcst of the Cumberland aud took
was surprised to find the fire so fierce. and. 40
he watched, Tim saw that the rcd tongues wcro
creeping on toward a little log cabin in whieh
Ober sisters. and tseir blind and. crippled
over on "d tho Other Sr' side. Tho 0, Tad r 1%Sn

limbs, Tim started down the rugged, hillside On
with the Are, and twice fell from exhaustion
and almost despaired of saving the old folks,
But his indonitahle courage never tagged and
he kept going. He reached the old homestead
just as tho prairie fire was attacking the Old
fe hurried into the house and informed tho
old and thoroughly frightened people OF their
danger: 1t only took, him q few minutes 10
hitch the horse to the sled, and the old man was
helped on TO- this; The four drove on to shelter
Its worst. The home OF the old people was partly
burned during the night, but tho boy had gotten
some OF the neighbors to 20 and fight the lire,
and they were able to save most OF the contents

The Administration and Spain.

There is good reason for thinking that
the arrival of Gen. STEWART L. woopToRD
at Madrid may mark a turning point In our
policy regarding Cuba.
Mr.. CLEVELAND. In his last annual mes-
sage, spoke vaguely OF what might be-
como necessary In certain contingencies,
but such expressions of course neither
alarmed the Madrid Government nor re-
suited in anything Of consequence. Indeed,
regarded as a response to the demand Of the
Fifty.fourth Congress for the recognition Of
Cuban belligerency and for negotiations to
secure the independence of the island, they
were palpable moves for delay.
But with the change OF Administration O
change Of policy has been looked for, not
only by our country, but by Spain herself.
In making that change the tempera-
ment of President MCKINLEY and current
circumstances alike have prompted DELHI
Grafton. The condition Of our home affairs
demanded his first attention; then came
the errand Of Special Commissioner CAL
HoUN, for whose report final action had to
be delayed finally, a new Minister to Spain
was nominated and confirmed. and he will
receive instructions which should en-
body the new policy.
We are justified in believingt that the basis
of those instructions will be that. in the
opinion of the President, the time has come
for the war to stop. He learns from Gen.
LEE and Mr.. CALHOUN the desolation Of
the island, the sufferings caused by WEY-
LER's concentration and other edicts, and
the futility Of SPANS efforts 30 subjugate
the people. He finds In Secretary WILSON'S
latest statistics proof of the disastrous ef-
fects of the war upon our commerce,
our Cuban trade during the last fiscal year
being only $47, 54s, 61O, against S1o2, 1884,
2O4 a few years ago. It is also certain that
the fiscal year now about to end will show
another tremendous decrease, amounting
probably to fully one-half from last years
figures, while some forecasts represent the
total as likely to amount to only 2 0,00O,-
600, or one-ffth of what the figures were
before the war.
Considerations both Of self-interest and
humanity, therefore, impel our Govern
ment to notify Spain that since her CT
forts to conquer Cuba have, after more
than two years of trial, without any inter
ference from us, proved obviously futile,
peace must now be brought about. Spain
fairly might welcome this message as
giving her an excuse for putting an end
TO a fearful and hopeless drain of money
and men.
But if Mr.. WooDFoRD's representations on
this point are rebuffed, Spain must not be
surprised to find the next step to be our Gov.
ernment's recognition, not only Of Cuban
belligerency but of Cuban independence, for
the independence of the island is the only
basis of a true and lasting peace.

HANNA AND THE G. A. Z.

In Ohio just now there is good deal
of talk about Mark Hanna's high stand
ing with the G. A. R. on the strength
of his remarkable reception in the ban
coterie of the veterans were being
feasted The situation was interesting
enough to be detailed again. At the
head of the main table was seated the
President of the United States, some
guests forgot their good manners and
respect for the proprieties and scream
ed welcome to the mighty political
boss. The President, infected by the
prevailing enthusiasm, and losing his
accustomed placidity, sprang from his
seat, rushed toward the advancing
hero and embraced the puissant poll
tician, to the amazement Of the assem-
bled war veterans and of the country.
There was shortly demand for
some of Hanna's admirers to pro-
vide the country with the political
manipulation war reAord. A man
over whom old soldiers made such a
demonstration ought to be able to show
some evidences of his valor on the
battlefield or patriotism in the halls
of legislation during the four years of
bloody strife which tested the strength
and endurance of American institu-
tiopc Mr. Hanna has bimSceIf come
forward with brief autobiography of
that epoch. NO" he said to an eager
newspaper interviewer, Il did not serve
in the army, but l hired two substi-
tutes and sent them to the front.
What patriotism is here proclaimed,
my countrymen! What sacrifice and
danger are here avowed for preserving
this Union! And how Hannaesque!
The prevailing rate of wages for SUBJ
stitutes in the war was thirteen dollars
month. Some patriots hired only
one substitute. But Mr. Hanna hired
two. He doesn't say how long he kept
them in the field, but whatever the
length of their service might have been
we know that it cost him $26 a month.
For this noble sacrifice Mr.. Hanna is
publicly embraced by the country's
chief magistrate, who went into the
war as a private, supplied the fighting
soldiers at Antietam with hot coffee
and came out with the rank of Major.
Mr.. Hanna's $26 a month is entitled
to recognition. Had he not spent it
for substitutes the Union armies would
have been short two soldiers. Where
fore three cheers and tiger for Han
ma, the unsecured veteran who poured
$50 month into the overstrained treas
ury at Washington to keep the fur
naces OF war ablaze and roaring!
