People who were inclined to criti- else President McKinley's course be- cause he did not adopt the jingo pol icy on the Cuban question as soon as he was inaugurated president, be- gin to see the unwisdom of the criti- cism then and the wisdom of the presidents course of action It is now apparent from the developments since Minister Woodfords arrival in Spain that the attitude of the admin istration will be such as to bring about a termination of the troubles in that unhappy island, and in a way which will avoid the criticism which would have surely followed the pre- cipitate action urged by many people imm e1iately after the inauguration of the president.

SPANISH FALSEHOODS.

In order to col1nteract the actual brutality of the Spaniards in Cuba an effort is now being made to impress upon outsiders that the Cubans are just as brutal in their treatment of Spaniards.
 A few weeks ago the Cubans cap tured the town of Las Tunas and a day or two ago word was sent out from Havana that the treatment of the non-combatants found there was cruel and brutal in the extreme It has not been the custom for the Gu bans to torture prisoners or to kill helpless men and women, hence the story was given no credence by those who have followed the progress of the war through reports sent to reliable newspapers in this country The latest story of Cuban cruelty has been denied by the representatives of the Cubans in this country and a Spanish paper of date September II is quoted as follows:
 Dr. Benedid and his family, two of ficers and 140 sick and wounded sol diers from the Victoria de las Tunas hospital have been delivered by the insurgents to our authorities in Man iabon.
 The statement was printed imme- diately after the capture of the town and was not inspired by the Cubans. The writer was no doubt telling the truth, but later on it was deemed wise by the Weyler administration to send out the story of Cuban brutality printed in this country. If the CuIbans were in the business of murdering their foes, they surely would not release prisoners of war and return them to their companions, with every possibility of them again taking up arms. The policy of the Cubans, with a possible exception here and there, has been one of hu- manity and generosity. Spain's at tempt to divert attention from the cruelty of its own men is part and parcel of the policy enforced in Cuba.

The expectiant public

The expectant public is waiting anXiously for Chairman Jones's views and attitude in regard to the recogni- ticn of silver by state platforms. One day he announces that he favors it; the next day he announces that he is against it, and the next day he tries to announce that he has said nothing on the subject. MT. Jones is evident ly ashamed of the company that he is keeping, but apparently sees no way of getting away from it. Why doesn't he admit frankly that the sil- yer proposition is failure, and go back to the good old Jacksonian and Jeffersonian principles of democracy, sound money and protection?
