nc ACatS diA says Nhah OFoA0 HUI resolved to grant permission for the cultivation of tobacco in the Spanish provinces. This will increase the revenue of Spain, and she will also revenge herself on the Americans, as the Spanish tobacco is expected to seriously compete with the Ameri- eau grown weed. This is the most sensible resolve that the naughty ] Spaniards have made for months. ] The nation that seeks her revenge against another by simply develop ing and enlarging her industrial conditions will come out all right. IT Spain had set Weyler to raising l tobacco years ago instead of sending him to Cuba to butcher her subjects she would De better of today.

Gage, Hugo Rich ards, Morris Goldwater, and |. U. Brechi. The platform upon which they propose to run is also publish ed, together with a petition from numerous voters and taxpayers, nominating them and pledging their support to their candidacy. A com parison of the two platforms will reveal the issue between these two sets Of candidates.

The problem of ! securing a water supply IS very serious one to the city and voters should exercise their best judgment in the mater free from all prejudice but as may be considered for the best interests of the city.
 The next United States senate will contain the smallest relative demo cratic strength that the party has had in twenty-six years. Against the twenty-six democrats there will be aD opposition of sixty-four. In ! the senate elected in 1872 there were only twenty democrats but the total -ulabar at that time was only sev-
 y-lour, so that this years cam -ns are a worse blow to the Jack soaIans than the great landslide. . or h. wentv-six democratic senat- . ors .n ae next upper house of con 2 uty-two are from he south, ! I..r sut four to represent the p.r. q he northern states, and all .Jf represent less t-:n one
