A PRECIOUS PICKLE.

The people Of Spain are IN a precious
pickle. There is no dominant front or
responsibility anywhere. There is the
crown and the Sagasta crowd, the
Weyler mob, the Don Carlos squad,
the Republican rabble, and now comes,
according to yesterday mornings dis
patches, an army coalition and a pro-
posed navy covey. Meanwhile all the
larger cities have been put under mar
tial law, and all the smaller ones are
In the hands of mobs. And still Spain
talks about the loose government OF
the United States and the piggish
principles of its people. They say We
have no idea above hogs and money;
that we are ignorant and avaricious;
that gold is our god, and that we fight
over silver. Do these fellows forget
that for four centuries they have done
little else than rob other countries Of
their gold? Look at Peru, and Mexi-
CO, and the Philippines, and the West
lnOl6Sr anu ItlltilBCL opdlASAl SlGGo
for gold; remember the ruthless taste
for blood, the Satanic extortion, and
the carnival of robbery and rapine
upheld by Hispana, and the fattening
off ill-gotten gains; the monstrous
grinding of the helpless in Cuba, and
Weylers levy on breath in the Philip
pines, where men have for generations
been taxed for the privilege of breath
ing. Spain to talk Of American avar-
ice; Spain. that murdered the Monte
Eumas for gold, and tortured the Incas
for their wealth. Spanish rule for
three hundred years has been ons of
rapine and religious cruelty. There is
no exception from the day Columbus
landed in the Western Hemisphere up
TO the hour she treacherously blew up
the Maine. 1t is all a wretched. miser-
able record of cruel Unsuitable greed.

NOT LONG TO WAIT.
Nj. Nj. MURDOCH. Edifo

The dawn Of this epoch-making CEN
fury lighted the rise and fall Of Napo-
leon. It has been indeed a century Of
historical events, illuminated by me-
chanicaI achievements and scientific
and industrial triumphs such as no
century Of all the past can show. 1t
embraces the organization Of the Ger
man Empire, the revolution of France,
the freeing Of millions of serfs in Rus
STA and millions of slaves in America.
Next to the Anglo-Saxons have the
Slavs in this century grown powerful.
The races Of the Caesars have retro
graded, and the Celestial Empire, with
its four hundred millions Of people, has
lost its national reckoning. Egypt the
cardIe OF civilization. nnds itself but
province. and Greece. the birthplace %
art and letters, has sunk into utter
insignihcance with Africa no longer
a terra incognito. The end of the CEN
tury is almost reached, but the cur
tain is not yet down. The eliminating
act is vet to be witnessed, aya. the first
Of its closing scenes are behsld-
Baron Rothschild said in a letter to
Salisbury, but two years agoi This
century will not close before we shall
have a general reorganization of inter
national relations throughout the
world, and alliances and combinations
on new lines to meet conditions which
have long been changing, silently and
slowly, and have now reached the
stage where the bud must burst into
flower" Are the next nineteen months
to verify this prediction? Will the
century indeed go out in revolutions
Of which the Hispano-American con-
dict over the Gem or the Antilles, and
the threatend partition of the Oriental
Empire are but the opening scenes of
the final act. but the prelude Of far
reaching and universally new national
alignment? Will the incidents of I'M
expected exigencies, like that of the
capture Of the Philippines. which
touches Europe at every point: the en-
forced reduction Of Cuba not only, but
OF Porto Rico; the accidental Gripping
of some neutral vessel; the cutting OF
of Americas wheat supply, and the
consequent higher priced bread, over
which foreign riots will become revolu-
tions, together with all the other null
titudinous possible happenings involve
all the world in war? There is not
long to wait.

THE JEW AND THE WAR.

The announcement of two or three
weeks since, that there were infiuen-
tiaI Jews in England and in France
who criticised and condemned America
for it's declaration of war against
Spain. proved a great surprise on this
side of the Atlantic. Spain has been
a notorious oppressor Of the Hebrew
race and solely because of his Jewish
religion. Frenchmen hate the Hebrew
even more Indignantly than they do
America Spain drove the original
the friend Of the Hebrew-has always
been The American admires the He
brew's push and thrift Not only that
but the American Jew knows that no
other people on Gods footstool ac-
cords him the consideration he is CIV
en- in this country. Therefore the I'M
explicable and unaccountable stand
taken by the Hebrew in France and in
England. That the American Jew is
his sytnapthy is with his country. The
Jews of Ohio are leading in a move
ment to raise funds sufficient to pur-
chase war ship for the United States.
Bernstein Of Cincinnati, who is one of
the heads of the movement, declares
that Jews all over the wSrld ought to
hold grudge against Spain He is en-
listing a company of Russian Jews
for the service and he says that there
is not a bit of doubt but that the or
ganization to which he belongs will
turn over to the government a fully
equipped man-of-war armed with the
latest improved guns and the stars and
stripes floating from its masthead.

WHEAT AND WAR.

Touching all this war talk upon the
part of European papers. those belli-
cose gentlemen would do well to re-
member that in the event Of q war
with Europe, growing out of our way
Of whipping Spain, wheat will cut as
much of figure as guns. If any ma
ton should Join Spain, Americas ex-
port wheat trade would close up like
a clam she'll This country does not
want anything Of anybody. Europe
must have bread. Three hundred mill
ions OF bushels of wheat annually go
to Europe from America There is no
other place to get the supply from.
The advance in the price Of wheat has
turned mobs loose already in Italy and
in Spain. The cry of Bread" browns
that of war. Russia alone among the
greater powers is entirely independent
of American wheat fields. The rise of
wheat and -four and other breadstuffs
has not checked European buying. The
only thing that can shut of the ex-
portation Of wheat IS a European coah-
ton against America. and that would
shut off not only wheat but meat,

WHOLESALE LIQUOR MEN
Protesting Against the Raise in License From
 $500 to $500.

The wholesale liquor men of Birmingham are making vigorous protest against the proposed action of the board of aldermen to increase the wholesale liquor license from $500 to $500 year.
 The present license on all retail liquor dealers is $500 a year. Heretofore the whole sale liquor license has been only $300 a year, but perhaps because of the fact that one or two wholesale men are supposed to have sold liquor at retail it has been pro- posed to make the license the same. The wholesale dealers and druggists are mak- ing protest before the miscellaneous com mittee of the board of aldermen to have this tax remain as 1t has been heretofore, and the chances seem to be that they will be successful.
 Such houses as Nabers Morrow & Sin- nige, the MeyerrMarx company, the J. c. Marx company, J. l.. Parker & Go. and the Collier Drug company are leading in the movement.
 They will be heard before the miscellane- ous committee next Wednesday. and 1t is understood to be probable that the whole sale license will be allowed to remain as 1t was in 1897.
