AFRAID or wEYLEa.

Sooner Than Return to Spain He Would
 Proclaim a Republic in Havana.
 MADRID. March 9.---A very troubled condition of affairs prevails in Spain. The most acute distress is being expert enced, the Carlists are showing unmis- takable activity, there is further alarming news from the Philippine islands and the government is disgust ed with the performances of Weyler in Cuba, but they dare not recall him. In this connection startling explanation of the inaction of the government is hinted at Ac- cording to the rumors circulating here, the reasons why Weyler is not recalled are, firstly, because he is pronounced republican; secondly, because it is in- timated that, sooner than return to Spain in disgrace, he would proclaim q republic in Havana.

Following is portion of an
address delivered before the Nat
ional Woman's Suffrage Conven-
ton, at DesMoines, Iowa, a few
days ago by Mrs. w. W. Woods,
of Wallace, Idaho
'With her head pillowed in the
lap of the North, her feet resting
in the orchards of the South, her
snowy bosom rising to the clouds,
Idaho rests serene in her beauty
of glacier, lake and primeval
forest, guarding in her verdure-
clad mountains vast treasures of
precious minerals, the hem of
her robe embroidered in sap
phires and opals.
This is no overdrawn picture,
friends. On our northern line
we touch elbows with British
Columbia; in the southern part
of the State are fine sapphire
mines, while one of our border
counties Latah) produces the
most beautifu opals on the con-
tinent, and the output of silver
and lead in Shoshone county,
alone, for 1896, was $5,120, 900;
this, too, in county where for
five years past many of the large
mines have been closed down,
awaiting the settlement of the
wage question. But if there any
goldbugs present, they need not
worry over our immense silver
and lead production, because
Idaho is a large gold-producer,
and while no official record is yet
to be had, it is estimated that
production of gold for 1896 will
be about $12, 900, 900; so you see
we are helping you keep up the
gold standard right royalty, al
though we are called silver
State.
"But Idaho is not alone min
ing State. If we lack in compar-
ison with the Middle States in
area Of cultivated soil, we have
our compensation in productive
ness. The great fields of the
Palouse and Potlach counties.
and other lands tributary to the
Clearwater and Snake rivers,
yield annually thirty-fve bush
els of wheat to the acre; this,
too, without rotation of crops;
and the apples, pears and prunes
of Idaho are considered the finest
in the United States.

ed in the south where the waters
of the Mississippi are overflow
ing their banks and inundating
vast stretches of fertile land 1t
would seem that the mad waters
are determined that the year
1897 shall break the record for
destruction of property and the
blighting of hopes. Since the
last great flood thousands have
settled upon the lands in the val
ley; numerous homes have been
established and farms placed
under a high cultivation. The
present floods have swept away
homes, farm implements and
hopes. Men who but yesterday
were happy and prosperous are
today in the throes of despair.
Wives who were enjoying the
comforts of comfortable homes
have seen everything which rep
resented years of patient toll and
anticipation wiped out as by a
curse. The cruel waters, cold
and irresistible, have carried
sorrow to thousands of hearts
and devasted valleys which were
smiling under the touch of hus-
bandry. The spectacle is one
that harrows up the blood and
commands the sympathy of every
human being who reads the re-
ports. The people of the south
have demonstrated their ability
to cope with misfortune; they
have passed through the crucial
test of a blighting war; the older
ones among them have seen their
homes destroyed and their pos
sessions confiscated by the ruth
less hand of war and they have
faced the situation bravely, calm
ly and with fortitude unsurpass-
ed in the history of the world.
But the floods are more cruel
than war. The war left them a
sentiment upon which to build
the flood leaves nothing save the
bare, disfigured earth. After the
war they could go back to their
plows bouyed by thoughts that
they had made. good fights and
that generations to come would
praise them for their bravery
and pluck. After the flood they
see nothing but desolation and
hear no rallying cry save that of
the struggling bread winners
whose voices are dull, sad sounds
of helpless poverty. The battle
with waters represents no flag,
no inspiring shibboleth, no op-
portunity to create q song about
which the hopes of the people
may cling. There can be no
battle. 1t is o retreat from an
irresistible foe against which OPP
position is vain and from which
comes no thrilling fire of conflict.
They cannot even take with them
the spur of resentment, for there
is no one to blame and no power
to denounce save that which the
God-fearing people of the south
have been taught to contemplate
with reverence and awe. They
hear the sullen roar of the adj
vancing flood; they see the APP
proach of an enemy with whom
they can neither speak nor treat;
with whom they can neither hail
nor salute-a silent, proud, maj
este foe who laughs at weapons
and scorns the flag of truce.
From such conflict nothing can
be borne but sorrow and pain,
disappointment and despair. The
people of the inundated valley
will have the sympathy of their
fellow citizens of the nation at
large and it is to be hoped that in
their efforts to rebuild their lost
fortunes they will receive sub,
stantial encouragement and sup
port. Above all. the government
should take such steps as will, in
some degree at least give guar
antee of protection in the future.

II know the slave-driver, and

this-that you have no respect
for any man but the one that
kicks you, and no regard for any
power but that which tramples
you down. You are the obstacle
the only obstacle-in the way
of race emancipation.
"Your masters are handful;
you are legion. Your masters
are intelligent-many of them
considerate and just, as the
world goes; and though they will
not voluntarily relax their selfish
grip on the good things of life,
not one of them would dare to
refuse you justice if you had it
in you to take q brave and manly
stand for your right. But you
are more befooled by the far off
dazzle of their gold than they are
by its possession. They have
sane moments, when they reflect
how their money has been gath
cred at your expense-moments
when they almost wish that the
system which fosters robbery
and makes gold king, which puts
IN allegiance every noble impulse
could be changed for some bet
ter and more righteous way.
'But you-you adore the sys-
tenn. You doff the ragged cap
and bend the servile knee before
the baser part of these men S
nature, and you only desire for
liberty is for the sake of emulat-

they know also, that a social
