WASHINGTON is PLEASED
THIS COUNTRY HAS ALL TO
GAIN, NOTHING TO LOSE.
SAGASTA FIRM AGAINST RECENT POLICY
The Retirement of Minister De LONE Proba
bic Result Position Of Treasury to Be
Exposed --Sagasta Popular and May
Get a Liberal Majority.
Get a Liberal Majority.

Madrid, Oct 2-Senor Sagasta, the
Liberal leader has been entrusted by
the Queen regent with the task Of form
ing a new cabinet, in succession to the
Azcarraga ministry which resigned on
"Wednesday last.
Senior Sagasta, after leaving the Queen
regent, had long conference with the
Marquis Vega De Armijo, who accepts
the presidency of the Chamber.
Admiral Bermejo becomes Minister of
Marine, in succession to Admiral Beran-
ger.
The financial question is demanding
the greatest attention and the Liberals
will, at the outset of the coming ses-
sion of Parliament, frankly expose the
position of the Spanish treasury.
UNCLE SAM GRATIFIBD.
Washington, Oct. 2.-The news from
Madrid to the effect that the Queen re-
gent had invited Sagasta to form cab
met to succeed the Azcarraga cabinet was
hailed with feeling of relief in official
circles here.
In the view of the administration, the
United States and Cuba have all to
gain and nothing to lose in the Liberal
accession to power. Even if the party is
NOT willing to 60 as far as the extreme
Cuban sympathizers in the United States
wish. it is felt that there certainly will
be a most liberal offering OF concessions
to secure peace in Cuba.
Sagasta is said to have stood from the
first in opposition to the policy pursued
BY Spain for the last year. Those
familiar with affairs in Spain say that
the Sagasta view has beceme very popu-
lar in Spain, mainly because the war
policy had served to draft most of the
young men from the interior and expose
them to,disease and death. As a result
of this sentiments it is said that an elec-
ton would give sSagasta Liberal majori-
ty In the Cortes, and thus permit him TO
carry on the government without being
hampered by the Conservative majority
Of over. 10D which now exists III the
Certes.s sft1 ev
The retirement of Senior Dupuy De
Lone is probable as a result of the for
nation of Liberal ministry and it is
believed the minister will tender his
resignation as soon as he is officially
advised of the advent of the Sagasta
cabinet.

"We propose now to establish disin-

on every railway and to meet all mails
to and from New Orleans at these camps
not allowing either cars or clerks to pro.

may float over the parching sol
with apparently all indications of
rain. but none fails hence the
worldwide saying that "aIl signs
fail in dry wefther.' In these Ca
ses all the tangible Indications are
present, but the electromagnetic
connection between earth and air
has been broken and must he re-
established before the clouds will
precipitate their water upon the
earth.
On the contrary, when there is
a great deal Of moisture in the
ground, clouds are attracted to that
region and they precipitate rain
freely and persistantly. In this
case it often happens that all signs
of clear weather seem to fail be-
cause the rain persistently pours
down.
In evidence of the theory which
| advance [ will refer to another
fact which many people have Oh
served. Upon the gradual restora-
tion Of the humidity to a dry sec.
ton Of the earth, by fogs or lower
ing clouds, the soil-mosture come 8
to thu surface, the superficial veins
respond and springs and rivulcts
that had disappeared will show their
water and possibly flow again k'
fore drop of rain falls. Hence
the common saying ''The rise Of
tho waters Of springs and wolls is
4 sign of rain" The truth is, this
phenomenon indicates the approach
Of the rain point, or that a condi-
ton is approaching wherein it is
possible for rain to fall. Reader,
this article already too long, must
stop here, but let me ask You TO
do ali you can to save tho trees
about springs and streams, and to
stay the vile hand of the woods
burner who is doing all that he can
to hasten the time when this beau
tiful and fraitful planet shall be-
come like the moon, cherries
and impotent mass, lifeless and un-
responsive to the suns dalliance.
You may think that puny man can
not destroy the usefulness and the
beauty of Our world, but you are
mistaken, for he has to large extent
already done it. Let the wicked
violation of natures laws and
waste of her resources which has
characterized the past fifty years
be continued for fifty years more
and only small part Of this coun-
try will be habitable.
The government must take i'm
mediate and intelligent action in
this matter. The elements condu-
Give to long, steady earth-smking
rains must be preserved and aug
mcnted as far as possible. Man
must learn to worship God by
obeying natures laws. ''As ye
SOW so shalt yc reap" Man is to
the extent of his ability to instruct,
''the keeper of his brother" and
we are all responsible for this sad
state Of things.
And now after permitting these
outrages upon nature which have
perverted her forces and brought
upon us droughts anil possible
starvation, let US not insult COM
mon sense and blaspheme the work
of "Him who docth all things
woll," by holding pow.wows and
demanding from Him rainfalls and
gootl crops which we ourselves
have made possible.

SHOULD BE REPUDIATED.

We have no desire to cover up
the fact that we are in favor of re.
pulliatipg every dollar Of the bonds
issued under the Cleveland admin.
istration. They we're issued as a
result Of Q conspiracy upon the
part Of those who pro6ted by the
issue; they were issued without the
consent OF tile people who are to
pay them; they were issued without
warrant Of law or sanction of com.
mon sense. The issue was a robbie.
~, pure and simple, The people
were in no way benefited by the is-
sue, and we favor repudiating
them. We do not believe one dol.
lar of them will ever be paid.-Liv.
ing Issues.
Ut will be remembered that the
bonds were issued on the pretense
Of keeping a 100000 900 reserve
Of gold. The fund was depleted by
the Secretary of the Treasury re
deeming all the obligations of the
government in gold Oh demand of
the holder. The law authorizing
the issuance Of notes, or bonds
recognizes silver as the equal Of
gold in the payment Of debts, and
the Secretary could have redeemed
all notes with silver just as legally
as with gold. No doubt can be
entertained thet there was c0nspir-
acy to rob the people for the banks
and it would serve them right il
the bonds are repndiatetl.)
