Pretty hard bed, wasn't it?' asked the judge.
 "Oh, no, sir, he answered "it was soft coal The judge was so struck by the joke that he let him go.-Buffalo Enquirer.

FIGHTING FOR CUBA.
Senator Mason, OF Illinoia, Introduce,
80, a Resolution In the Senate.

Senator Mason, of Illinois, Introduces
r yz>s a Resolution In the Senate.
/: Washington, Feb.SS9.-In the senate
yesterday the following resolution and
preamble was introduced by Senator
Mason. of Illinois,
Resolved. That the president of the
United States he and he is hereby request
ed to notify Spain and the insurgents of
Cuba that the war (so-called must at
once cease and be discontinued and that
the United States of America hereby de-
clare and will maintain peace on the is
land of Cuba
The resolution was preceded by long
preamble which declares that the war
between Spain and the insurgents of
Cuban has continued until all Christen-
dom is shocked by its barbarities. Pre-
tended autonomy has been offered by
Spain and refused by the Cubans in arms.
The preamble then reviews the horrible
being wrought in the island and the ter
rible sufrerings of the people. 1t refers
to the fact that the people of the United
States are sending money. food and cloth
ing to Cuba to aid the dying Cubans
which ought to be furnished by Spain,
for the reason that the concentrates are
the legitimate wards Of Spain, having
been put in their present starving condi-
ton as Spanish war measure and their
care would devolve upon Spain and would
in the world. All parties, it declares,
stood before the last presidential election
in favor Of the independence of Cuba, and
it then goes on to quote the Cuban plank
in the republican platform adopted by the
republican national convention at st. Louis
June 16. 1896.
The preamble closes as follows:
THE people of the United States Go not
seek to acquire title to Cuba, nor do they
seek to gain advantage in any way direct
ly or indirectly Of any nation by reason
of this barbarism called war. They do not
complain of our loss Of trade with Cuba
and have patiently borne the assault on
the health Of the people by the filth of
Spanish rule in Cuba. They seek no re-
dress for loss Of business or health or
money. They have patiently waited, not
wishing (even Indirectly to interfere with
the affairs of other nations, until the
stencil on our very borders has passed
endurance and the barbarious situation in
Cuba has become stain upon our CONT
nent and blot upon our Christian civil
ization. The people Of the United States,
demanding no personal profit, having no
fear and seeking no favor, clear and con-
sctous as to the justice Of our position, do
in the presence of the civilized nations of
the world and in the name Of justice and
liberty demand that the so-called war in
Cuba must cease"

WHEN the big department stores of
Denver lately undertook to dictate ad-
vertising rates to the newspapers there
and stopped advertising in order to en-
force their demands the small stores
took advantage of the boycott and be-
gan to advertise. They got immediate
results, one house having to call for
police to keep back the crowds, while
the large places were practically
empty. A little dry goods firm that
had never been heard of before turned
away thousand people for want of
room to receive them inside The
moral is obvious.

SENIOR DE LONE.

diplomatic service and seek political
preferment in Spain. The affair Will
not in the least affect the relations
between Spain and the United States;
in fact, the belief is that the minister
to succeed De LONE, who will be in
closer touch politically with the Sa-
gasta cabinet and its reform plans, will
effect more cordial relations between
the two governments.
De Lome's Offensive Words.
Minister De Lome's letter, the dis
covery of which has caused the present
sensation, was addressed to Senior Can
alejas, the well-known editor of the
Heraldo of Madrid. The portion which
is looked upon as offensive reads:
''The presidents message has unde-
ce1Ved the insurgents, who expected some
thing else. and has paralyzed the action
of congress, but consider 1t bad. Besides
the natural and inevitable coarseness with
which he repeats all that the press and
public opinion Of Spain has said Of Wey-
Ter, it shows one what Mckinley is-weak
and catering to the rabble and, BESIDES a
low politician, who desires to leave door
open to me and to stand well with the
jingoes Of his party"
De Lone IL Out.
Madrid. Feb. 11.-At a meeting of the
Spanish cabinet held Thursday under
the presidency of the queen regent, the
minister of foreign affairs, Senior Gull
Ion, read dispatch from Senior Dupuy
De LONE, the Spanish minister at Wash
ington, saying that the published letter
to Senior Canalejas was written by him
and that his position, consequently, had
become untenable and he begged the
government to accept his resignation.
The cabinet decided to accept the resig-
nation of Senior Dupuy De LONE and
the ministers subsequently met and de-
cided to telegraph to Senior De LONE &C.
cepting his resignation and intrusting
the first secretary with the conduct of
the current affairs of the legation.
His Recall Asked For.
Washington, Feb. 1.-The state de-
partment Thursday morning gave out
for publication the substance of the
cablegram sent Wednesday to Gen.
Woodford, our minister to Madrid, in
reference to the De LONE letter. The
statement is as follows:
"There has appeared in public prints a
letter addressed by the Spanish minister
20 Mr.. Canalejas. This letter, the minister
admits. was written by him. It contains
expressions concerning the president of
the United States Of such character as
to end the minister's usefulness as a rep
resentative Of his government in this
country. Gen. Woodford, therefore, was
instructed at once to say to the minister of
state that the immediate recall of Mr..
Dupuy De LONE is expected by the pres
1dent."
a refusal to make disavowal of De
11ome's sentiments places the admins
tration in position calling for de-
cislve action Immediately. If Spain
persists in maintaining this present at
titude there is no alternative, it is
urged, but the withdrawal of Minister
Woodford from Madrid and the sever
ance of diplomatic relations.

THAT New York and PHILADELPHIA
will eventually be connected by a troll
ley line seems to be assured. There
are electric power lines now in several
OF the Intervening cities and towns,
and connections between them could
be made in comparatively short time.
There is a line in operation between
Jersey City and Newark, and this
could be extended to connect with the
Railway and New Brunswick lines,
which, in turn, could be carried on to
Trenton, and then to PHILADELPHIA.
