It is evident that the government intends
to enforce the neutrality laws strictly
The cruiser Newark, which had been or
dered north from Key West is to remain
where she is. and the dispatch boat Dol
phin and the gunboat Vesuvius have been
ordered to proceed at once to the Florida
coast to prevent filibustering expeditions
to Cuba from leaving Florida ports. 1t Is
stated in our dispatches this morning that
the torpedo boats Ericsson and Gushing
may also be sent to Florida
Some surprise was expressed a day or
two ago. when Secretary Carlisle ordered
that clearance papers be given the steam
er Commodore, loaded with arms and con-
signed to Salvador Cisneros, the
president OF the Cuban republic. and
bound for Nuevitas, Cuba. There is no
law which prevents a merchant in this
country from selling arms and ammuni-
ton to the President of the Cuban repub-
lie or anybody else in Cuba, and any yes
sci has the right to carry to Cuba arms
and ammunition. Therefore the order of
Secretary Carlisle was proper one. The
Commodore was watched by the Boutwell,,
however, to prevent her from taking on
board men who intended to go to Cuba to
join the insurgents.
But the Commodore may not succeed in
getting her cargo to the insurgents. When
she gets into Cuban waters she may be
overhauled by a Spanish gunboat. In
Spanish waters she will be subjected to
Spanish law. If she goes directly to the
port for which she cleared no Spanish war
ship will modest her, in all probability,
but her cargo would be seized doubtless
on her arrival. The seizure might not
be legal one, but that question would
have to be determined by the Spanish law.
after a claim for the cargo or it's value
had been made
The reason vessels loaded with arms for
the Cuban insurgents have been seized in
our waters by our authorities is that they
neglected to take out clearance papers, or
else the charge was made that they had
men on board who had enlisted or in
tended to enlist in the Cuban service.
If the Commodore should land her cargo
at a place other than at the port for which
she cleared she would be guilty of SNUG
Cling uhder our laws and piracy under the
laws of Spain-not piracy as recognized by
the law of nations, but piracy as defined
by Spanish municipal law.
The government, in enforcing our neu-
trality laws strictly, is pursuing the wiser
course. AS long as we are on friendly
terms with Spain we are in honor bound
to deal with her frankly and fairly. If
we intend to aid the insurgents we should
do so openly and above board.

What has become of the Farmers AL
lance? Not much is heard about it
nowadays in this state In fact, not much
is heard about it in any state 1t was
once a power in the land. Now it has
about ceased to have an existence.
Il is announced that the alliances of
Kansas and Nebraska, at their annual
meetings next month, will wind up their
business and put crepe on the doors of
their places of meeting.
The Farmers Alliance came into life
suddenly in Kansas about seven years ago.
The alliancemen were afraid of lawyers.
bankers and professional politicians and
refused them admission to their organi-
cation. They were going to do great
things for the farmer. They would have
done much If they had kept out of poll
tics. That they could not do. They got
into politics and the politicians captured
the organization. The politicians used it
successfully. BY means of it many of
them got offices. Some OF them got into
congress and are there yet, but they are
not alliancemen. They are populists, and
populists they will remain until they think
they can advance their political fortunes
to better advantage by processing some
other political faith.
All who were alliancemen are not pop
ulists Thousands Of farmers of the west
and south who went into the alliance be-
cause they thought It could be made help
full to them abandoned it when they found
it was being used by politicians.
We shall hear very little more about the
Farmers Alliance. When it's obseques

But what about it's child-the popullst

yet been? 1t will linger awhile, but its
principles are not such as to commend it

people. II would have played but an in

Public sentiment in Spain must be in a
very shaky condition in respect to the
war in cuba since the Spanish govern
ment has considered it necessary to stop
the publication of two newspapers in
Madrid which have not hesitated to ex-
press their hostility to Gen. Weyler and
to the chiefs of the hospitals and COM
missary department in Cuba The news
papers are the Impartial and the Heraldo.
There are good reasons for thinking they
told the truth about the condition of af-
there were officers who were becoming
rich by stealing the money that was in
tended to supply the Spanish soldiers with
clothes, food and medicines. The soldiers,
these papers declared, are starving, and
dying in the hospitals by the hundreds for
lack OF proper medical treatment while
officers are filling their pockets with gold.
They did not say that Gen. Weyler and
the heads of the departments were cor
rupt, but they charged them with inca
pacity in not putting a stop to the abuses
and frauds.
Public sentiment in Spain must be pref
| ty strongly against Gen Weyler or else
the government would not think it neces-
| sary to seize newspapers which attack
| him. The truth is, the feeling is strong
among the masses of the Spanish people
that somebody is laundering in Cuba.
/ They are giving their wealth freely and
their sons are being torn from them by
the conscription law TO put down the in
surgents. and as far as they can dis
cover the insurgents are as strong and
defiant as they were when Gen. Weyler
took command in Cuba. They have been
waiting for favorable results for a long
time and thus far they have been dis
appointed. What wonder is it that they
are becoming exasperated? The wounded
and disabled soldiers who return to their
homes tell dreadful stories of the treat
ment TO which they were subjected
of the horrors of the hospitals and of
the scant supplies Of food and medicine
and the people are beginning TO feel that
they are making sacrifices without any
prospect Of benefits The Spanish gov
eminent will have to seize more news
papers unless there is a change for the
better in Cuba. The dissatisfaction of the
people will find expression in some man
ner, either through the newspapers or in
a revolt.

a man with a wild eye and a look Of mel
ancholy desperation on his face, says the
Detroit Free Press. walked into police
station a few days ago and said to the ser
geant in charge:
Have you a nice quiet cell that you
could lock a man up in for few hours? p
Plenty Of them" said the sergeant.
What's the trouble?"
TITS a case Of desertion, divorce and as
sault with intent 70 kill. Are you sure you
have a cell where a man could get way
back in a corner where a tall woman IN
red shawl couldn't reach him through the
bars with an umbrella?'
Il guess so. Who is the cell for?"
It's for me. Put me in right away, and
if woman with one eye, about hVe rect
nine, chewing a match, with pair OF SIX
ounce wooden mitts on comes in, Just ten
her that you never saw me"
Il can't lock YOU up without some cause
Can't you explain?"
The man tiptoed to the window, and af-
ter gazing anxiously up and down the
street, tiptoed back.
Did you ever hear of Samuel Tldbald"
Never did
Two months ago, sir. Samuel Tidoald
was the possessor of a happy home in this
town The angel of peace had alighted
above the door of mis- humble but happy
household, and never once thought OF com
ing off its perch. But, alas! the trail OF
the serpent was soon to destroy this Eden.
His wife, whom he adored with all the m
tensity of a strong, confding man, making
$3.50 per day, became infatuated with
reckless character named Thomas Gilkey
and abandoned her husband and home,
sir to fly with this rash adventurer She
went to Oklahoma and secured divorce
and married Thomas Gilkey. Think Of
the agony and sorrow of Samuel Tidbald,
left alone by his faithless wife, with ms
household gods shattered around him, ana
his most deeply-rooted affections all bust
ed up
1T was tough and no mistake" said the
sergeant, and 1 sympathize with you.
What became of the coupler?
Two weeks after they were married
they quarreled, and Thomas Gilkey ran
away from her. He fled to this city, and
his wife pursued him. You can imagine
what have suffered, sir, if you have ever
been a husband. Lock me up right away
in the darkest cell you have with spiders
and mice in it, or thereI be case Of
manslaughter before night"
Just then a woman's shril voice was
heard arguing with the policeman outside
the door, and the man made a break for
the window.
If 1 were you. Mr.. Tidbald,' called the
sergeant, Il would"
"Tidbald thunder!" said the man as he
dropped on the brick wall outside. My
names Thomas Gilkey."

AS a rule, says a writer in the Washing
ton Star this particular Star man has
home to go to and somebody to look after
his comfort and his checks, but occasions
will sometimes arise when he is thrown
out upon the cold charity of an unfeeling
world. This is invariably the case in the
summer time when he is SO deprived of
his advantages that he has to scout
around and pick up meal OF vlctuals
wherever he can find a place open, 1t
must be confessed that it is duh shocking,
but it would be a great deal duller if he
were the only summer widower in town
He isn't and, therefore, his misery finds
that which misery always loves.
These few predatory remarks will ex-
plain why the reporter should have been
in a restaurant at meal time. AS he sat
thinking what a dreadful world this would
be if there were no women in 1t, his at
tention was attracted by a man who
seemed to be glad that he could eat in
restaurant at any time. He had taken
his seat and picked up the menu with the
air of a person who had happened upon a
good thing not unexpectedly. The waiter
paid such attention to him as waiter
always pays to a guest who is unknown to
him.
The guest looked up from the menu and
nodded at he waiter
What would you like to have, sir?"
observed the waiter with fair degree
of suavity.

card with extreme JUNCTION, I'D like to

1t was the first chance the waiter had
to break in.

the greatest politeness and manner. wait

The guest held up his hand restraningly.

are going to get, but don't get it. You
asked me what I'd like to have to eat,
and I was merely telling you. What |
will have is very different"
And the reporter remained long enough
to notice that it was.

WoIcott's Mission.

1t is probable that there viii be an inter
national monetary conference in Washing
ton sometime during the present year.
Senator Wolcott. recently appointed by
the Senate republican caucus to draft a
bill inviting such a conference. left New
York for London yesterday for the pur-
pose Of comforting with the leading BIZ
metslists Of England and securing their
support in behalf Of a conference. Before
starting on this mission he had quite
long conference with Mr. Mckinley, and
It is understood. that tho latter IS in hear
" sympathy with the movement.
The national republican platform con-
tains a provision in favor Of international
bimetallism, and Mr.. Mckinley wishes it
to be understood that it is his purpose to
carry out every one Of the pledges of that
platform, so far as it is in his power to do
so.
Mr.. Mckinley and his advisers are good
politicians. They understand that many
silver republicans, like Senator Wolcott
remained with the republican party in the
last presidential campaign because of the
pledge of the party that it would do all 1t
could TO bring about international bimet-
allism. The republicans. it is thought,
can be held in the republican party. even
though silver should be an issue in the next
national campaign, and the republican
party should be against silver, if sincere
efforts are made to carry out the party's
pledge to do what it can TO secure an inter-
national agreement in respect to silver,
even if the effort should fail.
Senator Wolcotts mission, therefore,
may properly be regarded as being a
movement in the interest of the republican
party rather than a sincere effort to Sc
cure an international settlement of the sill
yer question BY this it is not meant that
Senator Wolcott is not very much in earn
est in his effort to bring about information
al bimetalIsm. What is meant is that the
republican leaders intend that the silver
republicans shall not be able to say, as an
excuse for leaving the republican party,
that the party did not fulfill its promise to
do what it could to promote International
bimetallism.
It Is quite safe to conclude that Senator
Wolcotts mission will be successful to the
extent Of getting England and other Eu-
ropean countries to agree to take part in
another international monetary confer
ence. The conference will be held. in all
probability. but if il should, it is question
whether it would accomplish anything.
We do not think it would. The same
arguments for and against silver that
have been advanced in other International
conferences would be advanced again. and
about the same results would be achieved.
The judgment of the best financial
students of the world is against bimetal-
lism. They regard it as impracticable and
experience sustains them.
Still. an international monetary confer
ence can do no great harm. 1t will help to
keep alive the silver agitation, but it may
serve to convince some of the silverites Of
their error.
