Assassination Of canovas.

There is 10 truth, we believe, more
easily demonstrated from the exper
fence of the past than the fact thataas-i
sassination does not make for liberty.
Notwithstanding the precarious foot
ing of the, Canovas ministry, we doubt
if his murder will prove very atlvan-
tageous to the Liberals, or to the Cuban
insurgents. Senator Morgan looks for
the disintegration of the Spanish gov
eminent as a result, but it is nOticea-
BILE that Morgan's view is not generally
taken.
While the murderer declares that he
is an Italian and an anarchist and en-
deavors to convey the impression that
Canovas' death is due to much the
same cause as was the death of CarnOt,
nevertheless there is suspicion that
the political agitation in Spain has had
much to do with the assassination.
If this view prevails in Spain it will
cause a revulsion, weaken the Liberal
cause and confirm the people in the
present policy, Il eontinuingstihss war in
Cuba until the insurgents shah be Jun
conditionally defeated or the island un-
conditionally ruined. or Spain uncondi-
tionally bankrupted.
On the other. hand it must be, ad-
mitted that in.ahe Conservative ranks
there is no man who has demonstrated
his ability to successfully assume that
party's leadership and to follow where
Canovas led. If Sagasta, the Liberal
leader who has alternated with Cano-
vas. according as it was thought best
to call Liberal or Conservative min
istry into control, is now called to as.
sumo the reins, as seems likely, he will
be seriously handicapped. Undoubted-
ly the hostility to the policy of Weyler
the resentment against the policy OF
Canovas i'm sending out sthes youth Of
the nation Is die in Cuba, and the dis.
tressing financial condition of the. coun.
try were working. toward a radical
change in policy. But If 1t shall be
felt that +, the assassination is the re-
suit of this political agitation, Sagasta

Secretary Sherman is reported as in
between the United States and Japan,
but he declared that it was the inten-
ton of the administration to pursue its
policy with respect to the annexation
OF Hawaii, no matter what the other
nation thought or did. Whether he
made any such remarks or not there
seems to be no good reason for denying
the story.

Saw tI,e Air Shin.

Last night Capt. Sam Parsons
and several other gentlemen were
standing on the corner near the
Court House, and about to bid
each other "good night" when
they heard a rumbling and
kissing noise above them, and
looking up toward the sky saw the
mysterious air ship sailing
through the air and at a rapid rate
of speed, going sonthwerd. On
closer examination they saw the
brilliant red head lights of the
ship. just after it crossed over
the Kanawha, it seemed to slacken
speed and hovered in the air as if
making ready for descent to the
earth. They say it was cigar
shaped, as all do. who have seen
the ship. Soon it was lost to
view. The Captain, however, says
he could plainly see man at one
of the openings contentedly smok-
ing a cigar. None who know the
jolly Captain, viii doubt for a
moment but what he and his
friends did really see the .myster-
iious air ship.
