A Texas member of congress tells
through the Washington Post of populist
opponent in the late campaign who adj
vanced an argument to his fellow-citizens
against voting the straight Bryan and
Sewall ticket. "Fellow-citizens," he said,
in the course of his speech, I'VE are all
for Bryan, but yer amt goin' ter vote for
that man Seawall, is you? That man Sea-
wall is a Cleveland democrat, he is If
we elect Bryan and Sea-Wall, they will
assassernate Bryan. They assassernated
Lincoln and they assassernated Garfield,
and they would assassernate our candidate
Bryan if he reached the white house.
Then we should have that man Sea-wall
for President, and, as / told you, he is
Cleveland democrat. Yer amt goin' to
vote for that man Sea-wall, is you?"
This argument was repeated all over
the great Lone Star State, and as Cleve-
land and Cleveland democrats are of a
stripe that enrages the average Texan,
there was no stampeding of Texas popu-
lists for the Chicago ticket

viii spoin GRANT Reforms.

There is every reason to believe that
! Spain would grant reforms to the Cubans
at once with the hope Of pacifying them
IL she could do so without any sacrifice Of
her pride. 1t is announced that she will
grant reforms within few days to the
colony of Porto Rico. which is at peace,
thus indicating what she would do in re-
spect TO Cuba IL the conditions there were
as she would like to have them. She will
make no concessions to Cuba, however, as
long as a Cuban army is in the fed, I'M
| less she is compelled to do so by fear Of
losing control Of the island altogether
The report that was extensively circulated
a few days ago, that she had accepted an
offer of mediation from the United States.
had no foundation beyond what was con-
tanned in the Presidents message. It is
alleged that several communications have
been made to the Secretary of state by
the Spanish minister to the effect that re-
forms would he adopted in Cuba as soon
as the conditions of affairs would permit,
but there does not appear to be any imme-
date prospect of the condition Of affairs
to which the Spanish government refers.
couple of months ago the Spanish
government, relying upon the promises Of
Gen. Weyler, that the Instruction in
thickly populated provinces would be ef-
fectually suppressed by Christmas said
that reforms in Cuba would be granted
soon. Christmas has come and gone and
so has the first day of the new year. and
the prospect of the early ending of the
war Is not as bright as 1t was when Gen.
Weyler predicted a speedy ending of the
rebellion. In the meantime Spain has
grown steadily weaker financially and
otherwise owing to the continual drain
upon her resources, while the insurgents
are as aggressive as ever.
It looks as if it were only a question of a
short time when Spain would have to
pocket her pride and accept an offer Of
mediation from this country or abandon
Cuba. The insurgents say they don't
want men. They want arms and am
munition and these they appear to be get
ting from this country
Gen. Weyler's recall at very early day
would not be a surprise. The reports Of
the dissatisfaction in Spain with his man
agement of the war are of a character to
| justify the conclusion that he will be re-
moved very soon, unless he wins some pro-
nounced successes, and the prospect of mis-
doing any thing of that kind is very re-
mote. And it is doubtful if Spain has a
! general who could do much better along
! the line of policy which she insists upon
pursuing. If this country will but con-
| tinue its policy of non-interference Spain
will have to make concessions before very
long. When she reaches that point the
| Cubans will be in a position to practically
dictate their own terms. If the United
states should interfere Spain might be
able to secure the aid of one or more of
I the European powers and, under such cir
cumstances. the outcome of the war
might be much less satisfactory to the in
surgents than if they were left to fight
their battles alone.

The park and tree commissioners de-
serve, and will receive, the thanks of the
community for the stand they have taken
with regard to the matter of poles in the
squares. There is no reason why the I'M
slightly poles should be tolerated, much
less be given the right-of-way, so to
speak, over trees, shrubbery, grass and
everything else. The squares were de-
signed for beauty; to be an ornament to
the city. To make them as nearly perfect
beauty spots as may be possible. a COM
mission has been created, and given ap-
preparations of money to carry on the
work. What will the commissions work
amount TO, II corporations are to be per-
mitted to come along and plant ugly poles
in the middle of a flower bed, or to cut
down trees to make room for poles. IL
it should be desired to plant pole in any
particular spot? The whole truth of the
matter is, the poles ought to be removed
from the squares, Immediately. If there
is no ordinance under which they can be
removed, then such an ordinance ought to
be passed, without delay. And when it is
passed. it ought to include South Broad
street with the squares in the exemption
from poles il would be nonsense to say
1t is necessary to cross the squares in
order 10 reach any point. Let the wires
be carried around the squares. And let II
be provided, in ordinances. that whenever
a new pole is erected, from the river to
Castor street. between East Broad and
West Broad it shall be an iron pole. And
the street railways might as well be get.
ting ready to adopt iron poles.

MIR. Bryan Retires.
From the Baltimore Sun Dem)

According to the New York Journal, Mr..
Bryan's experiences at Atlanta, where he
delivered a lecture last week. were OF such
a Notifying character that he has con-
cluded to cancel his contract and with
draw finally from the lecture stage. 1t
appears that Mr.. Bryan wanted mis- tour
to be conducted with the greatest modes
w. the advertising in the newspapers and
by bill posters to be of the most unosten-
ltatious description. Indeed, this had been
stipulated in the contract, but when Mr..
Bryan arrived in Atlanta he was Mortified
to find that his ideas of simplicity and
dignity in advertising were far removed
from those of the syndicate which had
charge of his tour. 1t is to be inferred
from the Journals statement that the bill
posters were of the same retiring NODES
ty which characterizes the mammoth
sheets of manw colors with which the en-
terprising advance agent Of a circus pla-
cards the walls of a country town. When
Mr.. Bryan saw himself thus pictured in all
the colors of the rainbow, standing in a
group with Washington and Lincoln,
primus inter pares If not pluribus
unum, he realized that he had been be-
trayed, and that the syndicate intended to
force him into a vulgar notoriety and keep
him there is long as it paid. 1t is to MIR.
Bryans credit that he at once dissolved
his relations with his managers, returned
TO them the sum of $4,000 which he had
been paid in advance for ten lectures, and
has now returned to his home in Nebraska
with his dignity and self-respect in his
own keeping. and not at the mercy Of a
syndicate which vas specializing on his
reputation.

A Modern Minerva.
From the Omaha World-Herald

From the Omaha WOrld-Herald.
She is fair in form and feature, quite an
airy, fairy creature, and of art leading
teacher; she can talk, and play, and
sing, too, in a manner quite divine.
She is up in French and Sanscrit, can sur
vey with chain and transit, name a
dance and she can dance it, and in golf
and tennis playing she is always first in
line.
She can drive a fiery tandem, troll for bass
and neatly land 'em, and she never talks
at random, for she has good stores OF
knowledge upon which she loves to draw.
She is quite a politician, is a weli-versed
rhetorician, and a very keen logician
and she knows the hidden secrets that
are wrapped up in the law.
She is very literary, very keen of wit, yes
very; and she's what all folk declare a
very wonderful young lady who has
wisdom without stint
She is versed in Greek and Latin, paints
on canvas, plaques, and satin quoting
poetry she's pat in, but she cannot bake
a biscuit that is half as soft as flint.

From the Philadelphia Ledger Qnd.

The constitutional amendment deny the
right of suffrage to an unnaturalized for
eigner was adopted by an overwhelming
majority at the recent election in Minneso-
ia, Tex, also, decided that an alien must
have taken out his first papers at least
six months before the election, in order
to vote. Gradually the people of the
United States are beginning to understand
that if they are to continue to possess
their country they must govern it them
se.ves, and are taking measures to secure
their rights. 1t is none too soon. This
country is for Americans, and those who
will not become Americans should have
no share in it's direction.
