Figaro of Paris is specializing as to
whether Europe should ALLOW the United
States to drive Spain out of Cuba" This
is founded on the Weylerian contention that
the United States Is the originator and fos-
terer of the war in Cuba, and that it is
playing for possession of the island. This
is utterly false. and whenever and wherever
repeated it should be SO denounced.
Spain feels that she must make some ex-
cuse to her neighbors for her failure. and
she makes this excuse. But it will not bear
examination, and if she presses the point
far enough she will simply add to her hu-
initiation before the world. AS matters now
stand she appears only as helpless; after
formal inquiry by outside powers into her
complaint that the United States is the
author of her woes in Cuba she would ap-
pear as a humbug. For it is a matter of
fact, easily susceptible of proof. that she
herself is the author of her own woes: that
they grow exclusively out of her abomin-
able misgovernment of Cuba: that she
might at any time between 1878, when the
ten years war closed. and 1894, when the
present war began-a period of sixteen
years-have done for Cuba what would
have made her authority there respected
for many years: that. disregarding all the
requirements of the present, she has taken
not only the wrong but a cruel course, and
that she is now paying a just penalty for
both her shortsightedness and her crimes.
The United States has had no part or lot in
her undoing
The right of the United States to inter-
fere in this matter is too plain to require
any argument. 1t is the delay about it that
seems TIC many to call for explanation.
Cuba's interests and business are so con-
nected with our own that an injury to one
is necessarily an injury to the other. So,
in speaking up for a termination of hos
tlities in Cuba, we are speaking at the
same time for termination Of a state of
things which has cost the United States
pretty dearly.
Austria is mentioned as probable ally
of Spain if matters become acute, and Ger
many. it is suggested might have q word TO
say for Spain. But what are their inter-
ests in Cuba? They have none. Austria
has an affection for the queen regent, who
is an Austrian princess by birth. but where
does Germany come in at all? Is the re-
lance solely on the impression that En-
peror William, who is fond of putting in
his oar. could not restrain himself If an
opportunity presented itself in this case?
Maybe he could. and would. He is not as
free to hunt a row some people suppose.
But putting aside all speculation coming
from Paris. which may be literally for
speculation-all the Cuban bonds for the
cost of the ten years war are held in
France-and coming down to the facts
familiar to all on this side of the water,
nothing is palmer than that the course of
the administration, as understood here at
;e hoc tn
dorsement of the people. 1t has been en-
tered upon deliberately. and what Austria
or Germany may think about 1t is not ma
terially to the point.

From the New York rribun..

But there comes a point when not yalor
nor sacrifice nor all the energies of the
riost devoted patriotism can avail. The
question Is. Has not that point at last been
reached? Has not Spain's fight for Cuba
become hopeless. and would it not be the
part OF wisdom for her to recognize that
fact? II she should withdraw from Cuba
now she would not lose honor nor reputa-
ton. She would not lose friendship nor
esteem. She would not lose even a SINGLE
peseta In property. for the Cuban war is
costing her far more than Cuba crushed
impoverished and desolated, will be able to
repay her for half a century to come. She
would simply get rid of what has for more
than a generation been thorn in her side
and would gain the opportunity, which
she 30 sorely needs to repair her wasted
fortunes at home and to rebuild and en-
large the edifice Of her domestic welfare.
The choice before her Is momentous one
for Spain. and It may be that her whole
future depends upon its being rightly made.

The Teachers Convention.

Washington Is one of the great educa-
ticnal centers of the United States and is
yearly adding to its prestige as the home
OF art, literature and other elements of
cultivation Its public school system is
admired by educators from all sections and
it's extra facilities for broad instruction
afforded by the machinery and accessories
o. the government, are admitted to be I'M
surpassed in ary other community. For
these reasons 1t Is most desirable that the
next ANIMAL meeting of the National Edu-
cational Association should be held here
and that the visiting committee represent
ing that organization now surveying the
field should become fully acquainted with
the various advantages which the national
capital offers for such an occasion. There
Is not the slightest doubt OF the ability of
the city to entertain comfortably the fifteen
thousand delegates and attendants upon
the meeting. The city has given temporary
shelter and sustenance to crowds many
times larger ard its capacity to entertain
has never yet been over-taxed, even when
the nation has poured forth to make a
holiday of the Inauguration Of President
There are meeting places in abundance
well fitted for such purposes as those in
volved in a meeting of such a body as the
Educational Association. There is no lack
Of facilities for permitting the organization
to transact its general business method
ically. The railroad companies have indi-
Gated their willingness to grant favorable
rates and to permit the extension of tickets
to reasonable degree. The city offers
many advantages to those delegates who
combine their vacation tours with their
attendance upon the sessions of the asso-
citation, and in this respect, indeed. no bet
ter city could be found. The teacher who
goes summering could rest here from the
labors Of the school year and at the same
time could derive great profit from a survey
of the score of instructive points of interest.
Indeed, the combination of attractions Is
well-nigh irresistible.

September Joy.

Though skies are gray and fields grow bare,
And frosty pangs draw near;
Though Nature threatens everywhere
With penalties severe:
Though from the gaunt and ragged bough
The leaves all whitening fall.
We care not, for we think Of how
The Senators play ball.
The crow that wings his steady way
To shun the gathering shade,
Stops and forgets the fading day,
To see home run made.
The sun o'erlooks the mountains brow
And hears the bleachers' call.
He fingers to take note of how
The Senators play ball.
Who says that grief can linger near
An earth where honors wait
On such as meet test severe
The good. the true, the great?
Though humble once. they see men bow
And feel the laurel fall.
Cheer up. sad heart, and think of how
The Senators play ball!

1T gets very much mixed up sometimes, -
his friend replied.
Yes. There is wrangling between the
parties and between the bosses inside the
parties and it's hard to tell just how any

But the voter nearly always gets the
worst of it,
"Of course he does. The voter isn't any

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.

New York, Jan. 6.-The general mar
ket during the forenoon displayed in
creased strength and a greater degree Of
animation than has been recently noted,
partly owing to what was regarded as the
virtual shelving OF the Cameron Cuban
resolutions. The prospect Of a peaceful
settlement thus taken for granted by the
traders, caused a more cheerful sentiment
which was reflected in a wider distribu-
ton of business at advancing prices. The
dealings included number OF the usual
Nv inactive stocks. The specialties were
subjected to considerable manipulation
and the more favorable character Of the
railway returns received, encouraged OPP
erations in the grangers and southwest
ern for the long account. The traders
disregard lower prices for American Sc
curities in London and some selling for
that account here and worked against
the shorts in some Of the stocks that
have recently displayed the greatest
heayiness.
Business in Railway bonds was on
larger scale than for some time and gem
eral Improvement occurred which We're
the more pronounced in the high grades
issues. The market showed a broaden
ing tendency and investment houses
reached a brisk demand for hitherto neg
lected bonds.
Governments improved slightly on pur-
chases Of 100000

FREE CURE FOR MEN.
a Michigan Man OF RS to Send His
Discovery Free.
Claims to be a Benefactor to Weak
erred Mankind.

There is always more or less suspicion
attached to anything that is offered free
but somtimes a man so oyert1oWs with
generosity that he cannot rest until MS
discovery is known to the world, IN ORDER
that his fellow men may profit by what
he has discovered. 1t is upon this prin-
cinal that a resident of kalamazoo,
Mich. desires to send free to mankind
prescription which will cure them or any
form Of nervous debility; relieves them
of all the doubt and uncertainty when
such men are peculiarly liable TO ana
restores the organs to naturai size anu
yigor. As it costs nothing to try the
experiment it would seem that any man,
suffering with the nervous troubles that
usually attack men who never stopped TO
realize what might be the final result,
ought to be deeply interested in a remedy
which will restore them to health,
strength and vigor, without which they
continue to live and existence OF untold
misery. AS the remedy III question was
the result of many years research as TO
what combination would be peculiarly
effective in restoring to men the strength
they need, it would seem that all men
auffering with any form of nervous weak
ness ought to write for such a remedy
st once. A request to III. @. Odds, Box
1902. Kalamazoo, Mich, stating that you
are not sending for the prescription out
Of idle curiosity, but that you wish to
make use Of the medicine by giving 1t
a trial, win be answered promptly and
without evidence as to where informa-
ton came from.
The prescription is sent free and al
though some may wonder how Mr.. Olds
can afford to give away his discovery,
there is no doubt about the offer being
genuine. Cut this out and send to Mr..
Odds so that he may know how you came
to write MIN.
