WASHINGTON, D. c., February %
Senior Dupuy de LONE, the Spanish
Minister, has received the following
cable message from the Duke of
Spanish Minister of Foreign Affairs;

commanded by Maximo Gomez, defeat

and q great number of the rebels were
wounded. Four battalions occupy all
the possible passes to Matanzes and Las
Villas and prevent the retreat of Gomez

Views of the Coming Secretary of the
Treasury.

Treasury.
Mrs. LYMAN J. Gage, Mr.. McKin-
ley's Secretary of the Treasury des-
iguate, has stated his views as fol-
lows to the New York Worlds cor
respondent:
"Our whole monetary system is
the resultant of makeshift legisla-
ton and unscientific compromises.
Ii is time that reform began.
In my own opinion the greenback
should be permanently retired. The
silver purchased under the Sher
man act should be gradually sold
aud the Treasury notes redeemed
and cancelled. Some well-guarded
system of bank note circulation,
broader and more elastic than the
present national bank act provides
should be inaugurated.
"Such bank notes should be re-
deemablt at central place, and be
redeemable in gold only.
Silver certificates, which form
nearly one-6tth of the circulating
medium of the United States, are
dangerous. By their use volume
of inferior money has found an ab,
normal use. They are the most per.
picking feature in the much involved
problem of our national finances.
There is no reason why the gov
eminent should act as warehouse
man for either gold or silver. Sucf
function is outside its proper limi
Of action.
but we are confronted by a con
dltion. The enormous amount o
$500 100000 of silver, represented
by 1888 900, 900 IN silver certificates
added to the $50, 100000 purchased
by the Government under the Sher
man act, constitutes standing men
ace to every business interest.
To sum up the present defects o
our present currency system are:
Il. Confusing heterogenelty
which needs simplification.
- The g1eenback controverts !
the principle of paper money, VII
that every note injected into tn
commercial system should repre-
sent an existing commercial value.
3. The treasury note is a stant
ing evidence of foolish operation
the creation of a debt for the pu1
chase on falling market of a con
modify for which the purchaser ri
no use; it lies open to the just chare
of being both idiotic and immora
II. The national bank note near
conforms to the true principle OF p
per money, but the unreasonable 7
quirements for security paralyze ]
efficiency and operate to destroy
elasticity.
'5. The silver certificate encou
ages the use of silver to q larger g
tent than is consistent with the sa
preservation of that metal on

cation made this recommendation for
an additional appropriation as start
er; that the increase of appropriations
| for the higher educational institutions
would be very small, not over $4,000;
that the committee had under cOnsid-

nccllne Of the LrcrE rra,lc.

The indicative leech is now practi-
cally a thing Of the past The falling
of in the demand for leechcs by the
medical profession is quite astonishing,
as may be judged from the fact that in
the year 1915 the two largest hospitals
in London called for about so, 600 of
them, whereas now these institutions
order only 30 or 100 leechcs at irregular
and iufrcqueut intervals.
We are informed hy well known lcech
importers that the trade in leeches has
been subject TO such fierce competition
that the price has been brought down
almost to al. The quotation for Il sin.
gle hundred leechos at the present mo-
ment is fixed at a rate which is little
more than half what the great hospitals
paid for their enormous lcech supplies
in 1915.
At that time the importation of
leeches was carried on by means Of sail
ing boats plying TO and from Smyrna;
but, owing TO the difficulties of transfer
and the irregular. arrival of the boats,
many attempts were made TO conserve
and breed leechcs in England One en-
terprising man established three ponds

and used to dispose of many thousands
of leeches weekly. His successors. how

notes, but his landlady could collect no
money. In despair she went to the
White House TO sec Jackson. She told
her story, and he requested her TO get

CHlvALRY AND MATRIMONY.
Time Honored Notions of Olden Days
Which Don't Stand the Test.

We all want to consider the days Of
chivalry as the golden days-never tC
be recalled-for womankind. This is 10y
implication a rank injustice TO our OWL
time.
With all its fine expressions of ardent
devotion TO the fair sex and the multi
tude of its exquisite pretensions, chival-
ry was the degradation of the highest
and tenderest human instincts-the ver-
liable curse of the course of true love.
Such statement presents itself to the
romantic believer as a terrible counter
blast, but it is true, nevertheless. The
records of the treasury and the law
courts of those days, in furnishing the
experience OF popular life deeply marked
by the worst shades of modern short
comings, provide the fullest proof.
Chivalry aid not make marriages, at
least in the sense OF these born of loves
young dream; it entirely ignored all
sexual affections and sold its victims
with ruthless indifference to all mutu-
ality.
There were not two parties TO its bar
gains. There was only one, who was al
ways the third of the group and the one
interested, not in satisfying the yearn
ings of the impassioned, but in pecun-
iary sense of their value. He was the
vender and might be either king or
baron. But whichever he was, he was
the incarnation of INSCRIPTIONS power.

were no contracting parties" in the
shape of whispering lovers, ardent
SWANS and coy maidens. On the other
hand, there was but sullen Indifference
or hating compliance Chivalry canted
about its faith III women and the purity
of it's own motives, because it could not
sing of love 1t may be said that it SO
cantcd because it knew il must cant.

ed for, either in the kings cxchequer or
in the open market place. Chivalry knew |
itself rs social falsity and the parent
Of lust. As consequence the "loweI
orders have had to give us the nomen

very mirror Of the era of chivalry, has
