would be no wisdom in attempting to

There is probably at this time no re-

an enormous sum, While to have made

be accounted for upon the theory that

following is of this category:

The first to extend their sympathies
to the American people over the disaster
of the Maine were the representatives
of England. The British Minister did
not wait for advices from home; he did
not send his secretary nor note of sym
pathy, but he went in person to the De-
partment of State to express his sin
cere regrets. And just as he was leav-
ing the Department there came a mes
sage of sympathy from Queen Victoria
and on the heels of it one from the
Prince of Wales. and within twelve
hours one from PREMIER Salisbury, and
then a whole flock of dispatches from
English officers. naval and military.
Who can doubt the sincerity of all that?

Bourke Cochran devoted his attention
to ridiculing the caliber of all our mod
ern statesmen generally, and Henry
Cabot Lodge in particular. 1t was when
he stated that the foreign population
was largely responsible for the glorious
Republican triumph of 1896 that he was
Kissed. He compared the Senators Of to-
day with early American statesmen and
said that in those days when great prob
lens presented themselves, when
mighty issues arose. there arose with
them men who We're able to cope with
such matters. To-day, when one wants
to run a machine, he gets machinist !;
pausing, land it is monument to the
greatness of Webster Calhoun and their
contemporaries that such unskilled ma
chinists as those in the Senate to-day
can understand its simple mechanism.
TO those who are aware of the gem
eral success of the various play-houses
in the city devoted exclusively to dramas
produced in foreign tongues, the news
of Theatre Italiano's failure must be a
surprise. 1t was the only Italian theater
! in the city and it made extraordinary
bids for patronage. Located on the
BoWery within stones throw of the
heart of the Italian colony, it arranged
its scale of prices SO that the highest
was oO cents; it often produced several
pieces of an evening and generally
played on until one in the morning, but
all TO no avail, and few days ago the
enterprise passed into history, where I'M
doubtedly it will remain.
There are several theaters upon the
BoWery addicted to foreign tongue per
formances, and judging from the thi ons
that nightly gathers about the ticket Of
fees they seem to be entirely prosperous,
though the prices and the other condi-
| items are the same as those prevailing
in more fashionable quarters uptown.
The founders of the Theatre Italiano
had they investigated the social condi-
! tons of their prospective patrons. wCu
| II they reasoned intelligently, have
made different decision. 1t is safe TO
say that of the immense army of Ital-
ians in New York to-day, less than one
quarter of one per cent are other than
laborers. The majority live in the
sGualor of tenements and though en-
ployed steadily during eight of the
twelve months the pay is small and each
| family propOrtionately large. When in
| some instances the much priced saving
condition is reached, the Italian laborer
or at least the New York edition of him,
can be depended upon to touch not one
penny of his hard-earned hoard, except
ing in cases of direct necessity. In the
face of such circumstances is it remark
able that the Theatre Italiano was not a
! bowling success?

the most attention, for the volume of

dehed competition from a battery of

j. #. Young, very thoughtful and
able writer, in the Annals of the
American Academy" has made lucid
the truth concerning decentralization IN
France. He points out that centraliza-
ton. by which a few have been ena-

machine, does not date from Napoleon,
but came over from the old regime
This centralism, he points out, explains
much in French national life that has
been aScribed to fickleness and the
volatile character of the people. For
century France has been struggling
TO snake off this survival of feudal
absolutism. But the effort has been
interrupted by successive revolutions

Young holds, must triumph. The diff

The evening herald. [volume] (Shenandoah, Pa.) 1891-1966, 1898-11-05

Muncie, Ind, Nov. John Bailey, a
prominent farmer residing eight miles
north of this city, was shot to death by
Mrs. LeVina Black, a neighbor. Ten
days ago Mrs. Black had Bailey arrest
ed on charge of criminal assault. The
trial resulted in acquittal. Since that
time Mrs. Black has been the butt of
much talk. This preyed on her mind,
and yesterdays tragedy was the result.
Bailey was talking to a neighbor at the
latter's gate when Mrs. Black appeared
with water bucket in her hand. With
out comment the woman walked to
where Bailey was standing, and pulling
revolver shot him three times through
the head. The murderess escaped, but
her capture is certain. Both were well
connected.

NORTH CAROLINA'S ELECTION.
No Fears of RiotIng on Account of
the Color Line Contest.

Wilmington, N. c.. Nov. 5.-Wiliam
II. Bernard, editor of The Morning Star
Democratic), gives his views of the
coming election as follows: "All in
dications now point to a peaceful cleo
tiOn in Wilmington and it is highly
probable that the Republican majority
of about 1000 in this county will be
overcome. There has been an increase
of about 500 in the white registration,
the negro registration has fallen off
about 200, and it is estimated that the
failure Of the Republicans to nom-
nate candidates for county offices has
so disgusted the negroes that several
hundred of them will not go to the
polls.
The general situation in the state
is unparalleled in its political history
There is a genuine uprising of the
whites, brought about by the horrible
conditions existing in eastern North
Carolina. The women are as deeply in
terested as the men, and their activity
and energy are potent factors in the
campaign. Several thousand white Re-
publCans, too, have come over to the
Democrats, and there is little doubt
that three-tifth of the Popuists will
vote for what they call the white mans
ticket next Tuesday. The Democrats
are sure of three congressman, with
strong probability that they will elect
five.
The state senate will be very close,
but there will be a good working ma
jority in the house.

SPANIARDS OBSTINATE.
As Predicted, They Refuse to Accept Our
Proposal to Hold the Philip
nine Islands.

Paris, Nov 1.-THE Spanish COM
missioners. i'm the course of a two
hours session of the peace conference
yesterday. fatty refused to accept Mon
days proposition by the Americans to
take the entire Philippine group and to
reimburse Spain for her pacific" ex-
penditures there.
This negative decision was expected.
The Spanish commissioners had also
number Of positive declarations, which
filled some 81 sheets of a typewriter
presentment. In this statement the
Spaniards held that the United States
had no ultimate rights in the Phil
ippine Islands and could have none
save by the consent of Spain in these
negotiations and upon terms satisfac-
tory to her. According to the Span
ish contention in the formal statement
the United States entertained no
thought of annCxng the Philippines
when the protocol was signed, or it
would have been expressed in the pro-
tocol as clearly as the conditions re-
garding the cession of territory in the
Antilles and the Orient.
1t was further held yesterday by
Senior Rios and his colleagues that the
capitulation of Manila, having occurred
after the signing of the protocol and
thus after the suspension of hostilities,
was invalid.
With all this for a ground work,
the Spaniards made their first positive
move against the Americans, and 1t
constituted their counter proposition.
They charged upon the United States
wrongful appropriation of public
moneys belonging to Spain by selzing
the tariff duties at Manila, and they
formally demanded the return of these
moneys, in the sum Of nearly $1,000, 900.
on the same premises the United
States were declared to have made and
held as prisoners the Spanish troops at
Manila in violation of international
of hostilities under the protocol. A
further charge was that by the i'm
prisonment of the Spanish troops at
Manila the United States had prevent
ed Spain from quellng the nsurrection,
and thus contributed to the violence
against Spain after the cessation of
hostilities.
The Spanish presentment also cited
the refusal of the Americans to con-
slider the Cuban debt, on the ground
that it was not sanctioned in the pro-
tocol, and demanded an adherence to
this as a precedent in the decision Of
the Philippines, regarding a cessation
of which the Spanish held the pro-
tocol to make no mention.

PARSNIP COMPLEXION.

1t does not require all expert to detect the
sufferer from kidney trouble. The hollow
cheeks, the sunken eyes, the dark, puffy
circles under the eyes, the sallow parsnip
colored complexion indicates it.
A physician would ask if you had rheuna-
tism, dull pain or ache in the back or over
the hips, stomach trouble, desire to urinate
often, or a burning or scalding in passing it
if after passing there is an unsatistied feeling
as if it must be at once repeated, or if the
urine has brick dust deposit or strong odor.
When these symptoms are present no
time should be lost in removing the cause,
