MILES ON THE SITUATION.
He Believes That the United States Should
 Be Prepared for Trouble.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 4.-Maj.-Gen. Miles, h discussing the eastern crisis, said:
 The measures and policies being in- augurated by the great powers at the present time are more far-reaehing, more significant than any movement of a military character in the whole his tory of the world. They affect the commerce of the world and the future of millions of the human race more than any event which has yet occurred.
 If few of the great powers can dis member country occupied by vastly superior mum bers, to their own ag- grandizement and in their own com mercial and political interest, will such action not, in the near future. serious ly affect the welfare, and especially the foreign commerce. of the United States? The influence will likely be felt first by our neighbors in South America. Hence the words of Washington seem to be doubly wise when he warned LIS against foreign entaug and at the same time admontshed that 'in time of peace prepare for war.

GEN. WEYLER'S WRATH
His Organ Attacks the President
 and Minister Woodford.
THE EDITOR IS IMMUNE FROM ARREST.
Weyler is Apparently Strongnly Support ed by the Military, Many Officers Having Congratulated Him
 on His Protest.

BIARRITz, Jan. 4.-According to mail advices sent here from Madrid in or der to escape the censorship. the Ma cional, Gen. Weyler's organ. has pub Hshed a defiant article, pointing out that although the government has seized the generals protest, it could not prevent its being read in every barracks room.
 The Nacional, it further appears, at tacks President Mckinley and the United States minister at Madrid, Gen. Stewart L. Noodford, in unmeasured terms. The Nacional has twice been confscated, but the manager of that paper is deputy, and therefore can not be prosecuted. As he declares himself to be the author of the incriminated articles, no other per son connected with the paper can be prosecuted. Moreover, Madrid juries usually acquit persons charged with press otfenses.
 The number of dinners attended jointly by Gen. Weyler and other offi- cers of high rank is much commented upon, and is regarded as intended to show that the former aptain-general of Cuba is strongly supported by the military. It is even said that ou the day he presented to the queen regent his protest against the wording of President MeKinley's message to congress, leof the commanding officers of Madrid visited Gen. Weyler and con- graduated him.
 . Although the liberal newspapers maintain that Gen. Weyler's proceed ings are important, it is recalled that many questions in Spain frequently lead to grave sequels.

Il has become necessary for more mem

has been forced into the struggle for
bread"
OF course it is the woman who Is to
blame. It isn't the damnable social ana
economic lunacy that we are living un-
der that is accountable for the condl-
tions that force her to labor-conditions
that this good man is partially respon-
sible for. inasmuch as he does not de-
nounce them as the very essence OF in
fernalism-to the detrlment of the man
who ought to be her natural pTovider
and protector.
or course she isrto blame; but would
he have her join the already numerous
army of outcasts? Or perhaps he thinks
she might find room in the river some
dark night, and thus give a chance to
the unemployed who are loating about
the streets" Then there is the NOR
phine route, or she might blow out uhe
gas: there are hundreds Of avenues open
to her where she would not be the
greatest curse that has ever come to the
world of labor" What has he to do
with her? Order her off the earth?
Let him preach the gospel that the
laborer is worthy Of his hire, and IN
sist that women shall receive the same
returns for their labor as men do when
they are similarly employed, then watch
how quickly the women would return TO
the sphere of domeshcity.
The woman is not to blame. There
is no reason why she should invade the
industrial realm of man, but there is a
cause, and this godly person will find
it in competitive Industrial warfare. Let
him Join those who are fighting com
petition, and contribute his share to-
wards doing away with the curse he
has discovered. Let him assist in doing
away with the curse Of capitalism, and
his mares nest will disappear.
