The most interesting of these Gus

the fourth Sunday in Lent, various!y
called Mid-Lent Sunday, Mothcring
SUNDAY, and Care. Garlic. or CARING
Sunday. The very early custom of
visiting and worshiping IN the moth
CT church on this da, first gave it the
name of MIothcring Sunday. but the
custom was soon changed to that of
visiting the natural mother, bearing
presents, trlnkcts. cakes. etc. In
other words, it became. among all
classes, though more particularly the
lower ones, Il dav of reunion and
fcasting. 1t was often spoken of as
going a-mothcring to eat furmlty;

1t IS not remarkable that the sen
ate is talking, tritling and hesitating
over the arbitration treaty-this dis
tinguishcd body would be untrue to
its record of late years if it appeared
to give any consideration to the de-
mands Of the great body of the peo-
pie. There is an almost unanimous
demand that the treaty be ratified,
but the debate goes on, accompanied
by absurd attempts to better the
terms of the document. The fact
that the jlngoes are unhappy over
the possibility of its ratification is Il
powerful testimonial to its wisdom
and it should incite the friends of the
measure to stronger efforts in it's be-
half. The jingoes, first and last,
cause about as much trouble and do
as much to injure the credit and
good name of the country as any
body of blatherslites that ever en-
gagged in political claptlap, and they
should be turned down in this in
stance in an emphatic sort of way.

Now that the game of batting the
president has gone out of fashion
with the retirement OF Mr.. Cleve-
lamp, says the Philadelphia Record,
the Cuban outrage mills have ceased
to grind out horrors and the invent
ors of 'fakc" battles and glorious
victories in Cuba have sought other
employment. The Record quotes
as follows from letter written by
George Bronson Rea, the New York
Herald correspondent, now in the
Camp of Gomez, the extract giving
what is probably fair idea of the
real situation in the much-disturbed
island OF Cuba:
There is II prevalent ilea in some quarters
in the North that military operations here
are carried out grand scale. and that bat
ties with heavy losses are of frequent occur
renee. The sensational so-called war CORE
spondents, subsidized by the Junta, turn
out thrilling stories of terrible BATTLES, in
which entire Spanish columns are blotted
out of existence. Nothing is further from
the truth than such statements. In fact.
the Cuban losses during the entire war
would not equal the losses of an organized
army in II mornings skirmish, The tactics
employed by the majority of the Cubans is
simply to dodge the Spanish columns, fire
on forts from a safe distance, run when the
enemy comes out after them, eat we'll. and
trust to God and the United States to pull
them ont of the lredicament they have gos
into
