BRIAN FAyORs INTERVENTION.
NsbrAskan Gives His Views on Request Of
Associated Press.

NebrAskan Gives His Views on Request Of
Associated Press.
A special from Lincoln, Neb., says:
Hon. ". J. Bryan made the following
statement for the Associated Press
Thursday night, in answer 10 the ques-
ton whether in his Judgment the time
had arrived for the United States 10
intervene in behalf Of Cuba aud bring
the war 20 On end:
yes, the time for intervention has
arrived. Humanity demands that we
shall act. Cuba lies almost within
sight Of our shores and the sufferings
81 her people cannot be ignored unless
we as a nation have become 30 en-.
crossed in money making as 70 DO in
different 10 distress
Intervention may be accompanied
by danger and expense, but existence
cannot be separated from responsible
ity, aud responsibility sometimes leads
a nation, as we'll rs an individual, into
danger. A neighbor must sometimes
incur danger for q neighbor, and @
friend for friend.
War is terrible thing, and cannot
be defended except as a means TO an
end, and yet ii is sometimes the only
means by which O necessary end can
be secured. The state Furnishes its
own citizens by imprisonm ent or even
death when counsel and persuasion
fail. War is the final arbl,er between
nations when reason and diplomacy
are OF no avail.
Spain might not resist interven.
ton. Il is to be hoped she would
recognize the right of the United
States TO act, and Immediately with
draw from Cuba, but whether she re-
sents Intervention or not, the United
States must perform . plain duty.
Spain has only herself TO blame
for the condition OF affairs in Cuba.
II she denies 20 her former subjects
tho right Of war and calls the Cuban
army mob. let her remember the
words Of Victor Hugo: The
mob Is the human race in misery
No nation can afford to make its peo-
pie miserable.
''If the Cubans prefer death 70
Spanish rule, II must be because Span
ish rule has robbed life Of Joy and
hope. II nation sows the wind II
must reap the whirlwind."

That belief in lex talionis obtains
strongly in New York has been dem.
onstrated by the latest trials for muir.
der. In the Borough Of Brooklyn the
cowboy HIM, who shot and killed his
brother.in.law, was tried and the jury
disagreed, only two men favoring con-
viction. In Manhattan the jury in the
case Of Pietro Barcia, tried for killing
abe man who had slain his father in
Italy, also disagreed. In this case
only two men were for acquittal.
Yonng Barcia had followed francesca
Cassatta from Italy in pursuit Of his

Insects by Mail.

When a farmer or gardener finds a
new or strange insect destroying his
crops, and does not know an effectual
means Of combating ii, the best thing
to do is TO box up few OF the crea-
lures and send them by mail to an
entomologist. A couple of the insects
themselves will furnish the entomolo-
gist more information concerning their
real character than three or four pages
Of description.
In putting up the insects for ship
ment it is best to use a wooden or tin
box, rather than one OF pasteboard,
which might easily be broken in tran.
sit, and allow the insects to escape. 1t
is well to fill the box with the leaves
of the plant upon which the insects
were found; these serve as both food
and packing. No breathing holes need
be pierced in the box, as insects do
not need much air.
Small insects may be corked up in a
small glass bottle, which is then placed
in an augerhole in a block of wood,
and the whole wrapped in stout paper.
In sending soft insects or Larvae, it is
a good plan TO FIJI the bottle with alco-
hol, to preserve them, instead OF try
ing to send them alive. John W.
Lloyd, in Farm, Field and Preside.

Protecting Vines.

To cover squash, melon and other
cucurbitaceous plants with some kind
OF cloth Is one Of the best means OF
keeping off the beetles which destroy
the vines. Any kind OF gauzy ma.
teral is suitable. There are several
patent devices sold at seed stores, but
q simple way is to take ordinary bar.
rel hoops, cut them in halves and
place the ends in the earth so that
they cross one another at the top,
forming two arches above the plants.
Then spread piece ofcloth over them
and cover the edges, which have to
come down to the ground, with loose
soil. This excludes the beetles and at
the same time permits the entrance of
sufficient air, sunshine and moisture.
Cheese cloth is about as good as any
other fabric for this purpose. --Ameri-
can Agriculturist.

Not Probable That Amy Of the Powers
VIII Intervene.
II was stated Wednesday in a high
diplomatic quarter at Washington that
the Spanish government within the
last ten days had addressed a note TO
the great powers Of Europe fully set
ting forth the grave aspect Of the con.
troversy with the United States and,
at least inferentially, suggesting that
the time was now opportuns for Euro
pean influence TO be exerted.
II is said this note has been the
cause OF activity at European capitals
within the last few days in connection
with Spanish American affairs. Up TO
the present time, however, no actual
step toward mediation or Intervention
has been taken by any Of the great
powers. although there is little doubt
that France stands ready to take the
initiative il there is the slightest evil
dence that the United States govern
ment will view such move with IA
vOr.

New Sweet-BrIer Roses.

We are pleased to learn from an
English paper that the "sweet.brier"
is coming into favor in that country,
and that new varieties have been pro-
duced and are being offered at low
prices, or at shilling each. This
would be about twenty-five cents
American money, but who would be-
grudge that for a thrifty plant, with
the fragrant foliage which by us in
our youth was more priced than the
colors of the most brilliant roses. But
many of these have also beautiful bios.
SONS. We should value them none
the more highly because they were
originated by real live lord," Lord
Penzance, but 1t may serve as IN ad.
ditional recommendation to some.
The variety to which he has given
his own name, Lord Penzauce, has
highly fragrant foliage, and the bios
som is in pale tones OF ecru. Some
of them are little lacking in the true
sweet brier perfume but this is not.
Lady Penzance is one OF the most
beautiful, of metallic copper color at
the tips of the petals, while the centre
is bright golden yellow. Jennie Deans
is semi-double, q brilliant carmine
crimson in tint, iaud with flowers borne
in fine clusters. Rose Bradwardine is
very robust, free-aowering plant,
with eZquisitely shaped bio pms Of the
clearest pink. Lucy Bertram has the
deepest crimson color of all. with a
pure white centre. Meg Merrilles has
also fine crimson tint, with an
abundance Of berries in winter and A
free, robust habit Of growth, and Julie
Mannering is pale pink, with richly
scented foliage, very pretty variety
among the deeper-colored flowers.
We suspect the noble lord ia an adj
mirer Of Sir Walter SCOTS novels from
his choice of names, but "a rose by
another name would smell as sweet"
we hope to see some Of our nursery
men Offering these, as the old.fash-
Toned sweet brier was hardy in this
latitude, and We should hope these

spirit that animates him il that which
enabled tho American navy in 1928
Ia sweep the Atlantic and gave to the

the Direction Of Havana.
A matter that caused a great deal Of
excitement among the officials ut
Washington Wednesday was the IN.
formation that had been received from
United States Minister Woodford Of
the departure westward OF q formid-
able Spanish fleet of three vessels.
Naturally there was a disposition 10
criticise the action OF Spain in this
particular in view of the many peace
protestations that have been made by
that country, and such action was re-
garded as anything but Q friendly
move.
The ships sailed from Carthagena, q
Spanish naval station on the Mediter-
raneau sea, and according to the min
listers dispatch they were headed
westward" This, it is said, is I'M
doubtedly the most formidable array
OF vessels that has departed from Spain
in this direction during the present
crisis, and the presumption generally
held by the navy department officials
is that they are headed ultimately for
Havana, and will be first heard Of at
the Csnsries.
