were glad to get rid of. The party
was always beaten when Welles was
at the front, they said. There was
in the country some surprise, too,
that Mr. Lincoln should have picked

"What else are Hartford lawyers

referring 10 the fact that Isaac Tou.

known in Hartford, one of Mr..

Some one has just recalled the fact
that Thomas Jefferson abolished the
silver dollar, and any use OF his
name by those of the popocratic
faith in an attempt to bolster up
their beliefs will be exceedingly in
consistent. In May, 1906, Prcsi-
dent Jefferson issued the following
order:
SIN consequence of Il representa-
ton from the directors of the Bank
of the United States that consider
able purchases have been made of
dollars coined at the mint for the
purpose of exporting them, and as it
is probable further purchases and
expectations will be made, tlc presl-
dent (Thomas .Jefferson) directs that
all silver to be coined at the mint
shall be of small denominations, SO
that the value of the largest piece
shall not exceed half a dollar.'
President Jcfferson's opinion that
"the proportion between the values
of gold and silver is a mercantile
problem altogether" is also contrary
to the articles of popocratic faith.
Jefferson and the popocrats are as
far apart as the poles; they can
never be brought together.

Col. Benedict has just returned
from Il tri p to Washington and his
chances of appointment as collector
of customs are now said to be bright
cl-hc seems to have renewed his
grip. In view of the probably APP
pointmcnt of Col. Manslr, who has
tasted the joys of public service for
long years, there is some dismay in
the ranks of the Younger and uneasy
element of the Republican party of
the state who have been striving for
some time to upset various calcutta
tons of their seniors. The North
field News dcnurs in this way:
"The appointment of Il man to the
collectorship who has been so con-
tinuous recognized is calculated to
have a most discouraging effect upon
the younger element of the Repubi-
can party, especially as 1t is conceel-
cd that another ot-tlmc office hold
er, Col. Mansur, is to have the col
lectorship on the east side. Again,
the selection of Col. Ben cdict would
be exactly in opposition to the cx-
pressed purpose of President Nc
klnley to refrain from reappointing
officials who served under President
HarrIsons administration"

1t is impossible to believe that there are
from three and one-half to five feet of snow over
certain parts Of Minnesota, and that railroad
trains have been blocked by snow in the Dakotas.
Tho Inhabitants of those States are too CHEEKY to
believe such tales themselves. They know that

during the coming summer II Spain's army
IL kept In Cuba. When WEYLER can tax,
plumber or blackmail no more, IL may be
expected that he will throw up his com
mand and go home.
In a few weeks from this time tho Span
fish campaign will be suspended till next
winter, because of the deluge from above
and the mire under foot. But the destruc-
tion Of the life Of SPANS troops, which was
80 terrible last summer, will not be sus-
pended; nor will the waste OF treasure be
suspended, nor will the operations of the
unconquered patriots.
The disquietude in those parts Of Cuba
that are held by Spain is not less than In
the kingdom itself. WEYLER has failed as
a General and 30 has CANovAs as a states
a The groans Of Spain mingle with
those of Cuba. And now at this hour, in
this situation Of affairs, there is a benumb-
ing report that Spain desires to withdraw
troops from Cuba for service against the
boisterous and irrepressible insurgents in
the Philippines. 1t looks as though the end
were approaching, to the confusion of Spain.
1t is Ell CoTrco that says: The state of
things grows worse every day." 1t is ex-
Minister SAGAsTA who has declared to
the editor of Ell Herdldo: eft is impossi-
BILE to foresee what the result will be-" 1t
was Premier CANovAs who recently wrote
a letter about the Overwhelming calami-
ties Of Spain" The opinion is expressed
by not a few Spaniards at Havana that the
only hope for Spain lies in entering into
negotiations with Gen. GOMEZ. It is this
last opinion that seems to us to contain the
best promise for Spain. The Premier at
Madrid will have no difficulty in open
ing negotiations with GOMEZ. He can
make good terms, too. We believe that
the great Cuban commander would permit
the Spanish army to march aboard ship
with flying colors. Perhaps he might even
agree to furnish Cuban bonds that, as soon
as convenient, the republic would honor
the expense Of their passage across the
Atlantic. This would be a glorious success
for Spain, now discounted, d~ishonored, i'm
poverished, and bleeding at the heart.
