J. R. Hammond, of The Times, has

Arthur Merrill met with quite pain
full accident Tuesday evening that will
cause him to walk with a limp for
some days. In walking about the back
yard after dusk he stumbled over a
piece of an old sewing machine and
drove the portion on which the spool is
fastened into his ankle about an inch
making very painful wound. A
physician had to be called in to stop the
flow of blood.
The Hudson case in which the late
Judge Parker came in conflict with the
U. S. supreme court was recalled this
week. At the time Hudson was ordered
released on bail Judge Parker said that
his reason for not complying with the
order of the court was that the ends of
justice would be defeated thereby-that
Hudson would jump his bail. This
was found to be the case when the case
came up few days since.

Spain at the Pawnsh0p,

From the New York World.
Spain is going TO the pawnshop
again.
She has already pledged most Of her
yaluables for loans, but she must again
have money. not only to carry on the
Cuban war but also to pay interest on
the loans already made
So the Minister Of Finance proposes
to hook the Almaden quicksilver
mines for whatever sum his uncle
will lend upon them. and to raise an
additional twelve millions by imposing
extra navigation dues-that is to say ,
by still further discouraging a decayed
and decaying commerce.
Then there are ninety two millions of
interest on the late loans that must be
provided for. Spain has already put
her customs dues in pawn for this
purpose, but they do not suffice, so it is
now proposed to add "surtax -
which is official slang for forced loan
of 10 per cent. on all taxes.
Even this is not enough. II is hoped
that thirty two millions may somehow
be extorted from the colonies, but the
hope is manifestly vain in view of the
fact that Spain has deliberately
destroyed the paying capacity Of the
colonies So the missing thirty two
millions and the forty millions more
that must be raised are to be secured by
a new loan based on a petroleum
monopoly and another for which a
monopoly Of explosives is 10 be put in
pawn.
Spain is bankrupt. Her power
is on its last legs. She has war on
her hands that she can in no wise
prosecute TO success. Yet with an
arrogance that her people think
admirable and that everybody else
thinks insane, her statesmen talk loftily
Of resenting and resisting any effort the
United States may make in behalf Of
liberty and humanity 70 end her hope
less struggle in Cuba.
II is tine for this country 20 DO its
manifest duty without pausing 10 ask
whether this arrogant and bankrupt
oppressor Of liberty loving people
likes it or not. Indeed. that is
manifestly what Spain wants. as was
shown in The World interview with
a high Spanish official in Washington.
She desires most Of all an excuse for

THERE Is this feature about the Prince
road law that occasions adverse criti
cism-i it does not force the non resident
land owner to contribute equally to the
improvement Of the public highways
But. as 1.-The Democrat remarked
some days ago, the measure provides a
better means for working the roads than
is found in the old law We must keep
mp the fight for good roads. and if the
present.law is not good enough we can
amend il and make il what is desired.
The demand for good roads will not be
