fidence, and the proposed tinkering in the Ministry is simply viewed by the masses with dispairing indifference.
 This circumstance, and the opinion daily growing among thinking men that Spain is drifting toward defeat may at any moment determine the for nation of a peace party But it is still premature to speak of peace. The sub ject can only be whispered here. The memory of Cavite, calling for venge ance, is too fresh for peace yet.
 Peace, if Spain is to initiate pro- posals for it, can be had only after more fighting. The Atlantic fleet must either be knocked to pieces or gain a partial victory as a set-off against Cavite before the idea of peace with honor can really take root in this land of Don Quixote.

 Copyrighted 1898, by James Gordon Bennett. VALENCIA, May 1S.-The war fever is decidedly abating in Spain, and long winded debates in the Cortes, reveal ing the helplessness of the country, have contributed thereto almost as much as the defeat at Cavite.
 A distinctive feature of the present crisis is that there Is not a single pub lie man who inspires the smallest con-

Convicts at Road Making.

In South Carolina, convicts are
worHed in the chain gang.-groups
chained together. In a letter
printed in this bulletin we are
told that the average size of the
chain gang for the second year
was IS, and was maintained at
cost of "a cents per capita per day.
During the third year, which has
Just closed, they were not able to
reduce the per capita of maintain
ing the chain gang, which remain
ed about the same size as during
the second year, owing to the fact
that they had worked around the
places near which there was a
house or barn that could be Sc
cured as stockade, and the con.
Stant moving from one place to
another, and the increased loss Of
time entailed by camping so great
a distance from the place Of work.
They are entering upon the
fourth years work with the hope
of materially reducing the cost
and increasing the efficiency of
the system by means of "king's
prison van," which is shown at
Fig. 1919. BY means of this vehi
Gle, they are enabled TO camp
right at the place of work, there
by saving the time that would
otherwise be lost ill going to and
returning from it; they, also, by
the use of this prison are enabled
to dispense with the services of a
night guard. They hope by the
use of this portable prison, to
reduce the cost cf maintaining the
chain gang to about Is cents per
capita per day, and to do at least
II per cent more work work with
the same size gang. The people
are very much pleased with the
system, having no objection to the
labor of convicts being expended
on the public roads, but there is
serious and strong opposition to
its being brought in competition
with free, honest labor.-The
Rural New Yorker.

UNCLE SANS PERPLExITY.

Now that the war has ended the
next thing Uncle Sam is consider
ing, and mighty seriously too, is
how many of the islands included
in the spoils of victory he will
keep. and what he will DO with
those of which he doubts Ne eX-
pediency of keeping. With a
lusty infant demanding his atten-
tion thousands OF miles across the
Pacific, Cuba and the Philippines
in need of his guardian care, and
the Porto Ricans really to regard
him with a certain amount of
suspicion associated with step
papa, the old gentleman's predic-
ament is most perplexing, aud be-
fore it is all over We fear he will
lose much of the urbanity of coun.
tenance characteristic of his ex-
preston. Already his beard
seems to have become greyer, and
there are wrinkles about his eyes
other than those produced by the
shrewd twinkle of merriment.
The advice of his couLsellors,
too, is conflicting, and any course
he may pursue will be met with
storm of criticism from those upon
whose suggestions be failed to act.
The question most conspicuous
ly bristling with interrogation
points seems to be the one con
cerning the Philippine Islands.
To keep this trophy of Dewey's
prowers would give rise to more
than fancy of jealousy among
the Powers Of Europe, and neces-
state the siationing there of a
standing army; to give them back
to Spain would cause the history
OF Cuba to be repeated; while TO
distribute them among the Powers
would doubtless bring up ques-
tions equally difficult to settle.
We shall spare our esteemed
relative the gratuitous counsel
with which some $4,000 news
papers over the country are over
whelming him, and only say to
him in regard to the Philippine
question that he would better in
future act upon the suggestion OF
the old Western bear hunter, who
remarked that when he shook
hands with a bar he always made
terms with him about getting
loose afterwards"

WHAT STAINS MIsRULE MEANS

Official data which have lately come to hand serve to throw increased light upon the subject of Spain's oppressive misrule in Cuba.
 Prior to the last revolutionary outbreak the amount of yearly tribute which Cuba was forced to pay into the treasury of Spain fell little short of the average sum of $2o, 900 900. In view of the comparative ly small number of people living in Cuba the enormous burden entailed upon them by this exaction becomes at once ap- parent. In 1884 Spain extorted from Cuba in the way of revenues the outrageous sum of $34 ,269 40. She applied $12574 ,4S5 of the money thus collected to the pay ment of old military debts incurred in subduing popular outbreaks in Cuba; S5904,0S4 to the use of the war department in carrying out needed improvements, and pensions, etc, to Spanish officers and clergymen. Out of the immense revenue collected from Cuba in 1884 only S1195, ,745 returned to Cuba in the way of benefits. This fact in itself, without the prolonged effusion of blood which drenched Cuba's soil in consequence of her efforts to free herself, more than vindicateS the right eousness of that cause which the United States has assumed in undertaking to eXpel Spain from the western hemisphere.
 Such is the vast material wealth which belongs to Cuba that she is destined within the next few years under the be- nign influence of free institutions, to be- come one of the richest and most pro- gressive centers of the globe. In reward for what she has suffered, Cuba will soon freedoms recompense.-Atlanta Constitu-

SPECIES OF BACTERIA.

The bacteria known now number 560 species, according to a London Institu- tion lecture by Professor N. B.. Bot tomley, and practically our entire knowledge of these has been worked
 out since 1880 through the influence of Pasteur. Of the harmful species there are only about forty. Bacteria are found everywhere in the air and in our homes, they are so minute that 50,000,- GOO could be accommodated on penny postage stamp and they multiply with incredible rapidity. It is estimated that a human being takes in by respiration 30,000 germs each day, CT 10000 600 a year Not only are most of them harm less, but they give flavor to butter, cheese, game, etc., and they are the scavengers of nature. They are abso- lutely necessary for the round of life"
