TALES OF THE TIMES.
General Joe Wheelers Recent Close Race
With u Young Bicyclist.

General Joe Wheeler, who represents the
Eighth Alabama district, may not be
known to his colleagues of the house as q
very swift Splinter. The generals valiant
record in the war as a Confederate cavalry
leader never gave any evidence Of his abil-
ity In that direction. However, one of the
veteran doorkeepers of the house, who saw
long service In the Union ranks, witnessed
a feat the other day b. - Alabama lesis-
lator which is quite ~ the ordinary.
1t appears that General Wheeler was pro-
ceeding across the broad plaza on the east
front of the capitol at IS usual rapid pace,
which Is half way between a walk and
run. Along came a young bicyclist, with
whom the general seemed to be acquainted,
and the latter challenged him to a race,
which was Immediately accepted. The
course was from point near the statue OF
Washington down the asphalt toward b
street south. Captain j. A. Travis, the
veteran referred to, witnessed the chal-
lenge and the subsequent race. He says
no has seen deal of swift running, but
that he never saw anything like it for a
man of General Wheeler's age, nearly 81
years. Wearing his oyercoat, the general
flew along with springy step, and, al
though the bicyolist was doing his best, ii
was nip and tuck clear up to the finish.

A CANADIAN VIEW OF THE STU
ALTON.

Whatever may be the state of the
case as to the possibility of avoiding
war it is more than likely that tn,
lspira tions Of those Cubans who have
sought to have the rule
Of the Spaniards removed are
about to be realized. Spain
has forfeited her title to Cuba by hel
inability to conduct the affairs OF the
island with any semblance of satisfac-
tion to the human beings who have
been her subjects there. There are
higher laws than that which gives tC
the p0ssessors the rights to continue n
possession, and if Spain is now on the
eve OF losing a colony that might have
been a substantial prop in her day OF
weakness, it is because the higher laws
which govern the relations Of human
ity have for generations been. neglect
ed or outraged in that unhappy island
Repeated remOnstrances from Cuba and
from the United States have produced
no good effect, and the conditions pre-
vailing in Cuba prior to the outbreak
of this last rebellion were no better
than those reported thirty and fifty
years ago. Always it was the Cuban
who was deprived Of the means of i'm
proving his condition, subjected to out
rage and oppression and saddled with
compulsory ignorance, while they who
lorded 1t over him with heavy hand
reaped the rich harvest of one of the
most fertile lands in the wide world
and, after few years, returned, their
fortunes made, to Spain. There are
limits to human endurance, and it is
not to be marvelled at that the Cubans
have rebelled time and again, the sons
stepping into the places left vacant by
their fathers who fell, or brother after
brother giving up his life until, as
happened in the case Of MaceO and his
family, al had Derished for the com
mon cause. In the worlds history such
sacrifices have never been utterly in
vain, and we may we'll believe that the
present controversy will be settled, SO
far as Cuba is concerned, on lines con-
sistent with the eternal principles OF
justice and right.
