TIE CROWN OR CUBA.
Queen Regent Is Likely to Lose One
Or the Other

Or the Other.
Ne York, Oct "A special TO the
World from Madrid by way Of Bayonne
says: In all her constitutions with the
Spanish generals and the leaders of the
political parties, the queen regent mas
laid stress Chiefly upon the question Of
SPANS relations with the United States

Troublesome of late. The queen also in
sisted strongly upon discussing whether
Spanish rule in the West Indies would

of autonomy, thus enabling the Separ-

involving a sacrifice of Spanish ma
terial interests in the colonial market,
and heavy burden for the Spanish
treasury if saddled with a part of the
Cuban debt. The queen questioned
whether SagaSta would be able to re-
strain public opinion, the press and the
Cppositicn paroles If he MAIDS corsces-
sions to the colonies under the pressure
of American diplomacy.
The queen cannot believe success
would crown SO complete a reversal of
the policy which has been followed for
the last two years and a half, but it
seems that some if not all of her loyal
advisers had the courage to tell the
queen regent that the alternative lies
between the sincere trial of a new poll
cy embracing an understanding with
the United States, and the greater peril
of conflict With America, probably
entailing the loss of the colonies.

SCARCITY OF GREENBACKs.
New York Banks Compelled to Pay
Debts in Gold.

New York. Oct 1.-The plethora of
gold in the banks and in the treasury
and the scarcity of greenbacks is caus-
ing banks some difficulty in making
their payments at the clearing house
in bills. and may cause most of them
in a short While to return to the prac-
uce of years ago and settle their daily
debt balances in gold. The first move
ment in this direction was made when
the National Park bank paid its entire
debit balance of 1856, 600 in gold. Two
other banks have also paid gold in set
tIement Of the debit balance. 1t is con-
sidered likely that other banks will
have to follow suit shortly. just at
present he banks mostly prefer TO re-
ceive bills rather than gold in payment
of their credit balances The gold is
paid into the clearing house in the shape
of clearing house gold certificates which
is the most convenient form Of pay
ment. as it does not involve any count
ing, or much handling of coin

ALL"
There had been one of those burglaries
not so common then as they are now. The
home of a worthy old couple had been
broken into and they were cruelty tor
tured for the purpose of forcing them to
tell where their money was concealed.
There was but one man in the job, and he
wore a mask. All that his victims could
tell was that he was a six-footer, wore a
brown oVercoat, spoke very rapidly and as
German who had not fully acquired our
language. They were sure that if they
could see him and hear him speak they
could identify him..
Inside. of twenty-four hours we had an
ugly looking fellow, Just six feet in hight
and wearing a rusty brown overcOat. But
you should have heard him stutter. 1t took
him fun minute to get out the first word,
and to get through a sentence was like a
long fight to the finish. He would gasp,
gurgle, comfort his features, and after re-
peating {he first syllable dozen or more
times heswOuld deliver a word eXplosively.
When his English did come out 1t was as
pure as any ones, and there was nothing
about him to suggest a German origin.
THE old folks were positive that he
looked like their burglar. but when they
heard him stutter they declared that he
could not possibly be the man, and the
case was abandoned l was sure that the
fellow was crooked, but there was nothing
upon which the law could confirm my con-
Viction.
Two years later I happened to be in
Chicago when that same chap got life
sentence. He could talk faster than horse
can trot, and actually seemed happy when
telling me how his assumed brogue and
limitation stammering had fooled our
whole force"

The Anti-Hucks,er ordinance.

The anti-huckster ordinance having been
laid aside by the city council, 1t is to be
hoped that it will not be heard from again.
1t seems that the purpose of the ordinance
is to increase the revenues of the public
market. at the expense of consumers, and
to create a monopoly for those who rent
market stalls. Now. in the first place, a
public market is a relic of the past; of the
time when Kings, princes and potentates''
took advantage Of their power to wiring
taxes out of the farmers and the trades
people by requiring them to trade in the
market or other public place. so that the
tax gatherers might have a minimum of
trouble in squeezing taxes out of them for
the privilege of selling. There
is really no necessity for
a public market to-day. The times have
outgrown the Institution. Indeed. the mar
ket business might be run as a private
enterprise, after the plan of a department
store, by one man or firm, and without
the paternal solicitude of the city govern
ment There is no reason why butchers,
fish mongers. and vegetable dealers should
not run their several businesses just as
dry goods men, grocers. stationers, jew
elers and others are well satisfied to con-
duct their affairs, without the aid of the
municipality.
However, since Savannah has a public
market, it may be well enough to keep it
up. But il should not be at the expense of
the people who are trying TO earn an hon
est living by selling fresh food supplies
on the streets, nor at the expense of those
who continue to find it desirable to eat.
II the dealers in the market are compelled
to charge higher prices than are charged
on the streets because of their expenses,
the rents should be reduced, so that stall
holders may be able to sell as cheaply as
anybody else. and still make money Not
only the small farmers, but the fish, oys-
ter and shrimp sellers as well, should be
encouraged to come into the city and sell
their commodities. No tax, and as few
restrictions as possible, should be laid
upon them. The larger the number that
come in, the better it will be for those who
buy from them, and for the shopkeepers
who sell TO them. Poor people, white and
black, have a hard enough time making a
living at best, and their burdens should be
made lighter whenever possible; they
should never be increased.

About four years ago a republican in a
western town, who kept a general store

to get the appointment as postmaster. The

once. I have nothing to say against the
character of the present incumbent and

she went to register that the records were
