There is a reverse side to that Gu
ban picture, in so far as the United
States is concerned, it is well not to
overlook. Within one month over g.
100000 cartridges, 5000 machettes, a
score or more tons of dynamite. sew
eral large guns and other war mater
ial have reached Cuba for the use of
the insurgents, from this country. 1t
is hardly probable that this would
have been the case had the govern
ment at Washington been conspicu-
ously guilty of pernicious activity in
behalf of Spain. But peace must be
preserved with Spain and this govern
ment is obliged to see what it cannot
help perceiving. From this conclu-
sion of the matter there is no escape.

Every day the distress cry rises hi
CHER and rings out more agonizingly
over the waters of the overlooked val
ley of the Mississippi and many of it's
tributaries. Never before in the his
tory of the destruction of that de
strOying angel has there been such a
sweeping away of property and life
and the substance of life. Fortunate
ly the life loss has been slight COM
pared to the awful destruction of
homes and supplies, but these rescued
ones are absolutely destitute and the
benefactions of their rescuers are
about exhausted. 1t must be remem-
bered that the calamities that have
befallen these fifty thousand homeless
have put it out of the power of the
ten times fifty thousand of their fell
lows and neighbors to supply many
of their needs. That supply must
come from the citizens of other sec
tons, and San Antonio should organ
ize help.

Spain will have nothing to congrat-
ulate herself on if Sanguilly takes the
field in place of the captured General
Rivera. Sanguilly was the hero of
the ten years war and his name is
associated with the most daring
achievements Of that period. He is a
born commander, the peer of MaceO as
a fighter and of Gomez as a general
and has the confidence and affection
of the insurgents. When he takes the
field there will be more stirring times
in PinarDel Rio than Weyler has seen
since he took the field in that prov
ince. Sanguilly goes in to win or die
in the attempt, as he knows that there
will be no mercy shown him if he
is taken prisoner.

St Louis will bid farewell to all
her fears and wipe her weeping eyes
when she reads her title clear to the
government Of that city by a Repub-
lican administration and legislative
assembly. To elect this is the present
effort Of the best elements of that
city. st. Louis is too progressive and
too nearly in the middle of the stream
to take kindly to the Democratic eddy.
The city proposes to pioneer the way
for the state into the camp of the Re
publicans.

The opponents of the greater char
ter bill are getting their forces in or
der. They have employed council to
represent them before the mayors Of
New York and Brooklyn and the gov
ernor. 1t is not consolidation that is
so much objected to as the charter
under which the consolidation is to
be effected. If man comes to the
ground between two stools what
chance has a bill between three We
toing powers? Perhaps the third par
ty may act as a safety cushion.

There is not a single hopeful pre-
dictiOn made as to the present out
come of high water in the Mississippi
valley. The calculations based on
past rise, on the volumne that flows
past given point at given stage,
the present stage of the water and the
accumulations in sight all point to a
general break from Friar's Point to
New Orleans. The outlook is indeed
gloomy. No greater calamity has ev-

1t is all very well for the wOuld-be
dispenser of opinions at Washington
to discourse verbosely concerning the
autocratic manner in which Speak
err Tom Reed bosses matters, but there
is not n shadow of doubt that the ac-
ton taken by the speaker is deliber-
ately decided upon in his own cab
met. That there is an advisory body
with whom the speaker consults and
in connection with whom he decides
as to the policy of the house, is as GER
tain as that the president has his
own cabinet. The one is a formal and
fixed and well known body of states.
men; the other an informal, confiden-
tial and thoroughly tried and trusted
body of personal party friends, who
are unknown to the public at large.
Mr.. Reeds action has this body of ad-
visors to support it before the house,
and that support is all the more potent
from the fact that it is not determin.
ed whether the supporters of the pol
icy of the chair have had any thing
to do with shaping that policy or not.
This is also true, Speaker Reed has the
of the house so in his hand
and is so undisturbed by house clam
or that he will follow out the course
determined to the very letter. He is
as much of rock in the chair as he is
a good fellow out of it.

If there is going to be any reversal
of the civil service orders of the late
president, Cleveland, by which it was
sought to perpetuate several thou
sands of Democrats in office, then it is
best TO let the reversal be ordered by
Congress and not by Nj. Mckinley.
This is so obviously the better course
that there is no need of wasting ar.
gument in discussing 1t.

Galveston is happy and justly so
over that initial shipment of cattle
direct to Liverpool from her docks.
There is no reason why the expert

thousand miles to New York by rail
before they commence their trans
Atlantic voyage. Such shipments
should multiply.
