It is more than encouraging TO reflect
IN connection with the two notable assassi-
nations which have marked the Spanish
Cuban troubles since the revolution re-
gan, that the Cubans are guIlless Of
crimes OF that kind.
Naceo was assasslnated by the orders
OF weyler, Who was the ereatare II Cano-

Italian anarchist. Throughout the Cuban
war, and while the spaniartls regularly
have been numbering honorable prisoners
of war, and oatraging and batchering in
nocent women and girls the gallant pa
triobs of the island have scorned TO re-
sort to savage retaliation. They nave re-
leased Spanish prisoners, and, where saeh
uufortunates have been III CT wounded,
they have nursed them tenderiy 10 health

Dollar wheat 10 sight.

In New YcTk on Thursday wheat touched
the point OF go ga cents bushei on the
September option. The opinion seems to
be gaining that dollar wheat Is in sight
The necessary deduction from this Is that
Mr. Mckinley has done it with his little
tariff II certainly is a great boon for the
prophets OF prosperity They are more
than fortunate in the fact that wheat crops
are so short in Argentns, Russia. India,
Hungary and Italy, that there viii be an
unusual demand for American wheat this
year
The pUOximate consequence is, that our
farmers stand chance 20 realize little
something for their labors, 10y way of
change; and that is good, too; but they
caunot be warned too early that they
must not depend upon the peTpetuation of
con ndItions which only arse from che tenn
porary Iaisfortunes of their nei ghbors. The
productions of competing countries VIII
revive again. and very likely next year.
Then the silver gasis crops Jf South
America and India agsin viii flood the
European markets, and shut out our agri-
cultural interest. Prices this year viii be-
apt 70 result in vast increase Of acreage
In America. for the ensuing season, and.
while the present Is brigh5 for the wheat
farmer, he must not dehIJe himself into
the belief that the period OF fat things is
20 be always.
Really, there is something sad in the
consideration that whoever benefits in
these sordid and grinding days, somebody
else must suffer for it. 1t is quite legiti-
mate and proper that our farmers should
have the advantage OF the worlds crop
failures; but if they are good men they
VIII take 1t with some thought OF the
suffering that comes 70 other peoples
through the failure OF their harrests. In
quite another direction, IL is painful TO
know that the vast wealth pouring into
the Golfers Of trusts and m0nopolies Is
at the expense Of the whole citizenship
Of America But these things are neces-
sary under the conditions of tie tine.
II we had the money OF the Constitution
once again, our agriculture would not be
dependent for its prosperity upon famine
in India or crop failures ia Argentina OF
Russia; and. what is quite as important

The ex-Cougress man Being Urged
ror Afayor OF Greater New York.
New York, Aug. g. The Brooklyn Eagle
this afternoon says:
Information which comes to the Eagle
indicates the nomination by the Democracy
of Joseph C. Hendrix for Mayor of Greater
New York. Mr.. Hendrix has disclai1ned
willingness TO accept the noIrina ton, but
there has been of late a movement on foot
among business men IN New York and
Brooklyn to induce him to stand as a cam
didate, and 1t is given out that the matter
has been presented to him in such a way
that he has said that he should accept
the nomination If it should be the wish OF
the party Mr.. Hendrix is q conspicuous
figure In financial circles, and 1t is now
proposed to elect him president OF the Ma
tionaI Association Of Bankers at the con-
vention To be held shortly in the city OF
Detroit. He was formerly president of the
Kings County Trust Company, of Brook
Iyn, and is now at the head OF the Union
National Bank In New York.
Mr. Hendrix was the Democratic can
didate for mayor of Brooklyn In 1888,
when Seth Low was the Republican can
dfdate for reelection and was narrowly
defeated. This fact gives the present
talk of Mr.. Hendrix s nomination unusual
interest In view OF the possibility of Mr..
Lows nomination by the Republicans.
Mr.. Hendrix was originally newspaper
man and has been postmaster Of Brooklyn
and representative in Congress from tha,
city.

GLENwooD CEMETERY ROAD.
Attorney Thomas Decides the Con.

The attorney for the District has decided
that the Condemnation by the Commission.
ers of q right of way through Glenwood
Cemetery for Michigan avenue Is void by

therefore, the District has no title to the

his opinion:
Assuming that the municipal authorities

tkeir power IN Undertaking to lay out the

The Kloudike war cloud.

We are glad 10 observe that the national
authorities have walked up at last TO the
international dangers involved in the ap-
preaching situation on the upper YUKON
River in Alaska, Probably they would have
seen the peril. and earlier prepared to meet
it. but it happened, unfortunately, that the
Klondlke craze developed just as the Con
gress adjourned, and as the Administration
was preparing 10 suspend active business
and settle down on the shores of Lake
Champlaln for the summer. We Thought
then that it was a grave mistake TO cancel
the orders " hich had been issued, providing
for the dispatch OF a regiment of regulars TO
The vicinity OF the gold fields, and We have
not changed that opinion; but, in view OF
the fact that pursuit OF such an enterprise
possibly prolific Of executive vecorrespondence
with, and explanations TO, Great Britain,
might have compelled the President to re-
main in bis capital, perhaps nothing more
should be said about It.
Now, however, it is satisfactory to note
that the Treasury Department has taken
alarm, and has invoked the aid OF Its
brother, the Department of State, TO pro-
test against the "nefarious' exactions aud
extortions proposed by the Canadian au-
thoritics against American miners who are

threat Of retaliation, the bold prospectors

The chances are that they will not h ave
