appeal To It's membership 90 hold fast
and not give up the ghost. Close stu
dents of political manifestations will
recall that the National Democratic
party originated at n convention i'm 1896
called TO protest against the real DEM
ocratic party as Bryanized at CHI

the Republican party. which was at
about that time presenting n solid front
TO The silver heresy and calling for the
support of honest men, regardless OF

national finances and the defence Of the
national honor against the silver der

Spain is poor. No question about that.
or policy that her representatives in
Paris are coming to plead more and
more frankly. Spain wants the United
States to assume the Cuban debt not
because there is any earthly reason why
| the debt should be assumed but because,
without the resources which cuba af-
forded, Spain will find the debt an ex-
traordinarily heavy burden. AS TO all
such questions, the United States can
afford To be generous. especially in
money matters. II the United states
are expected to be acquired. the matter
OF assuming the debt would be a rea-
sonable proposition. But IL was TO free.
and not to seize. cuba that the United
states undertook and our representa-
tives in Paris seem To have made 1t
plain that the debt which Spain has
piled up on the cuban account has no
more TO do with the case than has any
other OF Spain's debts. Moreover after
freeing the Cubans the United States
are hardly likely to tell them they must
be responsible for the debt that Spain
has incurred In lighting the patriots for
half a century. That would be a gruc-
some joke, indeed. The dawn OF liberty
would bc sadly clouded for the Cubans
| by such an arrangement. No. there

FINAL HONORs TO GORDON.

An expiatory service was held at 10
Gordon's palace at Khartoum. on the
roof of the palace two hagstaffs were
placed says a correspondent of the
London Chronicle. and on the ground
below were guards of honor from all
the British corps, and the Eleventh
Soudanese. a special guard on the
right consisted of engineers, Gordon's
corps. The German attache was pres
ent i'm full uniform, and the general
staff, with the Slrdar and staff, were
i'm the front and centre of the parade.
The palace is ruined. but the stone
work is singuarly sound. The troops
passed round the putacp, ending at the
ruined steps, where Gordon was MUIR

as the officers on the roof began hoist
ing large union flag very slowly, while
the national anthem was played, and a
royal salute of 2i guns was fired. At
the same time the Egyptian flag was
slowly hoisted, and the Khedivial
hymn played. Three cheers followed
for the Queen. and three for the Khe-
dive. while nine-minute guns doomed

Purpose of widows weeds.

A Worcester woman visiting in
New England city met stranger so
burdened down with black weeds that
she attracted attention. The visitor
was told that the woman in black was
the widow Of a Maine hero, and had
put in claim for her share of the
bounty. Then she learned that the
widow had been deserted by her hus-
band and had been earning her living
by dressmaking. She had considered
the separation good radiance" and
would probably have welcomed the
news Of his death under ordinary cir
cumstances, for their married life had
been an unhappy one. But when the
opportunity came to be the widow Of a
hero, she went into heavy mourning
and exhibited affection which she had
never felt and which he had certainly
never reciprocated.

mother of five children-"all grown up

their father into battle"
Mrs. Lee has noble Cornelia-like
head, broad, white forehead, a
smooth, clear complexion, face round,
but not plump. She seems in every
sense well nourished, a being who as
Stimulates the most nutritious things in
mental, moral and physical existence.
She has handsome eyes that twinkle
roguishly. a mouth of medium size and
white, even teeth, which are another
indication OF sound health and equable
nervous temperament. There's sunny
smile and dimple that's part of 1t.
All this partly explains why Gen. Lee
fell in love with the little lady and
made her his bride when she was but
eighteen years old.
