more furious, and his growls developed
into roars, the huge tan of an alligator
reared up out of the water just in front Of
the tiger. The bather Sealized the situa-
ton, fled up the hill and climbed the near
est tree. When he found himself safe he
had a second desire to faint away at the
very thought of his narrow escape but,
on second thoughts, he determined, with a
strong effort to retain his senses and see
the whole business Throughout course,
with the laudable object of helping the
completion of this truthful account.
The obvious intention of the alligator
was to pun the tiger down under water
and drown the beast; so he worked to-
wards this sole end. The tiger under

TO Illustrate the scheme by beating the
snout of the alligator with his other paw.
But, alas for him the said snout was well
under water, consequently he left much
of his force behind on the surface Of the
water. AT length his struggles became
feebler and feebler; then he disappeared
altogether from sight, blowing bubbles

There Is an excuse for lazy men in the
politics Of China or Russia or some
other semi -somnolent State, but there
is no excuse for 1t here. This is that
blessed home of dear-bought freedom,
where the voice and power of the indi-
vidual cannot be suppressed-a country
where the rewards of political effort
come to the active ones, whether they
be good men or bad. In so vast coun-
try 1t Is not well nor necessary that we
should all agree as to methods, but we
must agree as to means in conducting
its affairs-those means include at the
very outset to every man vote, and
back of every vote a conscience.

On Monday our evening contem-
porary stated that the portion Of the
speech Of Hon. Webster Davis printed
in the Record Union on Sunday, was
not delivered by him, and that the only
continuous point of resemblance is that
both were in English. 1t was added
that the speech printed was clipped
from a report in some other paper Of
his speaking in some other city.
The Record Union" denounced this
mendacious statement yesterday as it
deserved, namely, as a malicious false
hood Last evening our contemporary
returned to the charge that the Rec
ord-Union" report was procured by
clipping from the report in another pa
per of another speech made by Mr.
Davis in another city. This is another
falsehood, only the more contemplate
that it is rawer and more vulgar and
mendacious, If that can be, than the
first.
Mr.. Davis speech was furnished by
him in usual manuscript. and on re-
quest for it. It was not clipped from
an exchange. Such statement is abso-
Iutely false. 1t was delivered SUBJ
stantially as printed, and as near to it,
word for word. as most orators come
in delivering by lip speeches carefully
prepared.
This is done daily. Nearly all the
speeches by eminent men for special oc-
casions are prepared carefully, put into
typewriter and furnished to the press

The war feeling in England is GER
tainly augmenting. Public opinion is
declaring itself against any recession
in the Soudan In favor of France. Not
even is the modified request Of the lat
ter to be given a Nile outlet received
with any favor. On the other hand. 1t
is now manifest that despite the in
flammatory expressions of the press,
the Government of France is not at all
DESTROYS of a rupture of the peaceable
relations between the two countries,
which have remained undisturbed for
more than three-quarters of a century.
Still. the French Ministers are not 60
ing to be taken unprepared, and mill
tary and naval activity increases in
the direction of massing forces and
getting ornaments into proper condi-
ton. Similar activity prevails across
the channel Perhaps these demon
strations will, however, conserve the
ends of peace and incline each Of the
now frowning nations to come to an
amicable adjustment of the Fashoda
difficulty. On two other occasions both
these countries have prepared for war
with one another, but conflicts were
averted by the demonstration of great
strength by each.

Finally our party triumphed, but,
alas, it has brought NO relief to our
suffering people. The benefit of
that triumph has amounted to no
more that the distribution Of few
official prizes to the friends and
relatives of wealthy aristocrats and
to the henchmen OF political
bosses. There are, of course, ex-
ceptions, but this has been the rule.
Wealth Is still the standard OF re-
spectabi1ity, just as it was under
Republican Administrations, and
the rights and wishes Of the great
Democratic masses OF the country
are just as completely ignored

Possibly the speakers in delivering
them may here and there depart slight

SPAIN AND THE UNITED STATES.

The Spanish forces have all departed
Gals are now in full charge Of all de-
partments of local and orderly govern
ment But in Cuba inability and in
difference on the part of the Spanish
have combined to secure them until the
1st day Of the new year to complete
evacuation. This is a concession on the
part Of the United States that is far
more than the Spanish had any reason
to expect, and in the opinion Of many
Americans is charity that was not
deserved.
But General Wade's official certiica-
ton that he does not believe it to be
physically possible for Spain to move
all of her forces out of Cuba before
January 1st forms the basis Of justifi-
cation for the Administration. The eff
fort still continues on the part Of dis
gruntled insurgents and revengeful
Spanish inhabitants of the island to
infame the people of Cuba against
America.
This has proceeded so far that proc
lamations have been issued calling up
on the Cuban people to resist the land
ing Of American troops by force. Moth
ing will come of that, however, except
trouble for the Cubans if they are so
far misled as to engage in such hostile
acts. Our troops are even now moving
towards the island, and will be landed
presently in large numbers to occupy
posts from which the Spanish troops
move out
At Paris the situation Is reported to
be improved, in that the American
Peace Commissioners have been in
structed peremptorily to waste no time
whatever in discussing the Cuban debt;
to send an ultimatum to the Spanish
Commissioners that the debt will not
be considered, and that no propositions
concerning 1t will be received There
is a story to the effect that sve have
given the Spanish representatives upon
the commission to understand that the
United States will expect the complete
surrender Of the entire Philippine
group. This, however, lacks conffrma-
ton.
From Manila the advices warrant the
Judgment that our officers in that quar-
ter anticipate trouble with the insur-
gents, and that this has so impressed
the home Government that additional
forces and war supplies VIII be sent
out. In fact, there is definite news of
the sailing Of the Buffalo loaded with
ammunition for the naval vessels in
Manila Bay, to proceed to her destina-
ton via the Suez Canal.
On the whole, therefore, the United
States authorities are acting with vigor
and yet with caution. and all things
are tending to the declaration very
soon of a positive policy which will
favor complete removal of Spanish
domination in the Philippines forci-
BILE pacification of Cuba, if need be,
and the conclusion of a peace treaty
along lines indicated by the protocol
and free from assumptions of debt by
us, and Of any compromises with the
disaffected in Cuba.

TT IS IN ISSUE.

In November, 1896, Mr.. Mcguire
wrote in a letter to a San Francisco
newspaper that at the next Legislature
a proposition would be before that body
to suggest constitutional amendment
renting the whole subject of taxation,
State. county and municipal, to the
LEGISLATURE. THAT" said he, will be
the first step toward the single tax.
What happened? At the next ses-
sion of the Legislature, precisely as Mr..
Mcguire predicted, such a proposed
amendment was offered in the Legisla-
ture What is more, it slipped through
the House and went to the Senate,
where its real purpose was discovered,
and it was. therefore, tabled with a
sudden thud. What happened next?
The fusion convention meets, which
adopts Mr. Mcguire at second hand
from the Populists as its nominee for
Governor. It adopts platform also,
but not until it has undergone the
scrutiny of Mr.. Mcguire. When 1t is
returned to the convention by its COM
mittee the platform contains a signifi-
cant plank, reading as follows:
We favor a constitutional amendment
abolishing the State poll tax, and giving
to counties and municipal corporations
the right to adopt and change their sys-
TENS of taxation for local purposes
whenever a majority Of the people of
any such county or municipality. shall
so determine
Here then, we find the continuance
and persistence of Mr.. Maguire's ism.
It is another entering wedge, a wedge
that would permit experimenting in
fifty-seven counties with as many more
cities a host of systems Of taxation. OF
course as long as the State had one
system for its purposes and the coun-
ties fifty-seven others for their pur-
poses, there could not be much of dem
onstration of single tax virtue, if it
has any That fad, if It is worth any
thing at all, can be proved only by
trial unobstructed by any conflicting
system.
let lNS pidIlh IL III l4ilSs
that Mr.. Mcguire intended it as a feeler,
a certain definite assertion Of local
opinion in taxation looking toward the
single tax. It is significant in this, that
it follows literally the schemes which
went through one house Of the Legis-
lature in 1897, is indeed practically the
same thing, and that scheme, as we
have shown, was precisely the plan
which Mr.. Mcguire outlined in his
newspaper letter in 1896.
It is significant in this, also, that it
proves that the Mcguire faddism about
taxation is in his mind as an integral
part Of and comprised in the plan Of
his campaign for the Governorship. Yet
Mr.. Mcguire has the effrontery to
stand forth before the people and de-
clare that his taxation system is not
in issue in this campaign. Be honest,
Mr. Mcguire, and shame the devil.
People will have infinitely more respect
for you If you will step out into the
open and speak the truth, namely, that
you do expect and hope, if elected Gov
ernor, to make your success help on
the single tax cause.

Ger of high frank is quoted as saying
that had the weakness of the American
forces, and their general inefficiency,
been understood some weeks ago, the
Spanish soldiers in Cuba would not
have yielded. 1t is possible, of course,
that these reports as to the change of
sentiment among Spaniards have been
exaggerated, but when one considers
the allegations that have been made in
many American papers concerning the
United States army, it's Generals, and
the Government at Washington, it is
inconceivable that the statements so
put forth should not have had some
weight with the Spaniards.

Chicago has had her peace jubilee,
and despite unfavorable conditions Of
the weather it was a great success.
Now Philadelphia has entered upon her
peace jubilee, and yesterday the exer-
cises began with much satisfaction and
credit to the people of the staid city.
But Philadelphia has one decided ad-
vantage over Chicago: she has such re-
lation to the Atlantic Ocean that she
can indulge in a naval pageant. She
yesterday had nine splendid ships OF
the navy arrayed along her water front
covering a distance Of some two miles.
and at a given signal these ships of
war and pride, accompanied by host
of peaceful craft, formed splendid
water procession, something impossible
for Chicago with all her wealth and lib
crafty of expenditure.

to the State Constitution is mischleV-
Gus in this, that it mikes grammar

so that the grammar grades must IN
evitably suffer, because teachers must
be secured competent to outfit pupils
