BRYAN FAyORs INTERVENTION.
Nebrnsksn Gives His Views on Request OF
Associated Press.

Nebrnskan Gives His Views on Request OF
Associated Press.
A special from Lincoln, Neb., says:
Hon. w. j. Bryan made the following
statement for the Associated Press
Thursday night, in answer to the ques-
ton whether in his judgment the time
had arrived for the United States to
intervene in behalf OF Cuba and bring
the war to On end:
"Yes, the time for Intervention has
arrived. Humanity demands that we
shall act. Cuba lies almost within
sight OF our shores and the sufferings
of her people cannot be ignored unless
we as a nation have become so en-
crossed in money making as TO be in
different to distress.
Intervention may be accompanied
by danger and expense, but existence
cannot be separated from responsible
ity, and responsibility sometimes leads
nation, as we'll as On individual, into
danger. A neighbor must sometimes
incur danger for q neighbor, and a
friend for q friend.
"War is a terrible thing, and cannot
be defended except as a means to an
end, and yet it Is sometimes the only
means by which necessary end can
be secured. The state Furnishes its
own citizens by imprisonment or even
death when counsel and persuasion
fail. War ia the final arblter between
nations when reason and diplomacy
are of no avail.
"Spain might not resist interven.
ton. II is to BIO hoped she would
recognize the right If the United
States to act, and Immediately with
draw from Cuba, but whether she re-
sents Intervention or not, the United
States must perform plain duty.
"Spain has only herself to blame
for the condition of affairs in Cuba.
n she denies to her former subjects
the right of war and calls the Cuban
army q mob, let her remember the
words Of Victor Hugo: The
mob Is the human race in misery.
No nation can afford to make its peo'
pie miserable.
"If the Cubans prefer death to
Spanish rule, II must be because Span.
ish rule has robbed life OF Joy and
hope. II nation sows the wind II
must reap the whirlwind."

That belief in lex talionis obtains
strongly in New York has been dem.
Dnstrated by the latest trials for MUIR
der. In the Borough Of Brooklyn the
cowboy HIM, who shot and killed his
brother-in-aw, was tried and the jury
disagreed, only two men favoring con-
viction. In Manhattan the jury in the
case of Pietro Barcia, tried for killing
khe man who had slain his father in
Italy, also disagreed. In this case
only two men were for acquittal.
Young Barcia had followed Francesca
Cassatts from Italy in pursuit of his
vendetta, and was proud of having
fulfilled it. Both men will have to
DO tried again.

New Sweet-Brier Roses.

We are pleased to learn from IN
English paper that the "sweet-brier'
is coming into favor in that country,
and that new varieties have been pro-
duced and are being offered at low
prices, or at shilling each. This
would be about twenty-five cents
American money, but who would be-
grudge that for thrifty plant, with
the fragrant foliage which by us in
our youth was more priced than the
colors of the most brilliant roses. But
many Of these have also beautiful BIOS
SONS. We should value them none
the more highly because they were
originated by "real live lord" Lord
Penzance, but 1t may serve as On ad.
ditional recommendation to some.
The variety to which he has given
his own name, Lord Penzauce, has
highly fragrant foliage, and the bios
som is in pale tones of ecru. Some
of them are little lacking in the true
sweet brier perfume but this is not.
Lady Penzance is one Of the most
beautiful, of q metallic copper color at
the ups OF the petals, wnlle the centre
is bright golden yellow. Jennie Deans
is semi-double, o brilliant carmine
crimson in tint, sand with flowers borne
in fine clusters. Rose Bradwardins is
O very robust, free Towering plant,
with ezquisitely shaped blooms Of the
clearest pink. Lucy Bertram has the
deepest crimson color OF all, with q
pure white centre. Meg Merrilles has
also fine crimson tint, with an
abundance Of berries in winter and
free, robust habit Of growth, and Julie
Mannering is pale pink, with richly
scented foliage, very pretty variety
among the deeper-colored flowers.
We suspect the noble lord is an ad.
mirer of Sir Walter SCOTS novels from
his choice of names, but "a rose by
another name would smell as sweet"
We hope to see some of our nursery
men offering these, as the old.fash-
Toned sweet brier was hardy in this
latitude, and we should hope these
hybrids to be.-American Cultivator.

Leave Spanish Naval station Beaded In
the Direction OF Havana.
A matter that caused a great deal OF
excitement among the officials ct
Washington Wednesday was the IN
formation that had been received from
United States Minister Woodford Of
the departure westward Of formid-
able Spanish feet of three vessels.
Naturally there was disposition to
criticise the action OF Spain in this
particular in view OF the many peace
protestations that have been made by
that country, and such action was re-
garded as anything but q friendly
move.
The ships sailed from Carthagena, o
Spanish naval station on the Mediter-
raneau sea, and according to the min
ister's dispatch they were headed
westward. This, it is said, is I'M
doubtedly the most formidable array
of vessels that has departed from Spain
in this direction during the present
crisis, and the presumption general y
held by the navy department officials
is that they are headed ultimately for
Havana, and will be first heard Of at
the Canaries.

protectlng Vines.

To cover squash, melon and other
cucurbitaceous plants with some kind
of cloth Is one Of the best means of
keeping off the beetles which destroy
the vines. Any kind of gau2y ma.
terial is suitable. There are several
patent devices sold at seed stores, but
q simple way is to take ordinary bar
rel hoops, cut them in halves and
place the ends in the earth so that
they cross one another at the top,
forming two arches above the plants.
Then spread piece ofcloth over them
and cover the edges, which have to
come down to the ground, with loose
soil. This excludes the beetles and at
the same time permits the entrance OF
sufficient air, sunshine and moisture.
Cheese cloth is about as good rs any
other fabric for this purpose. --Ameri-

Insects by Mail.

When q farmer or gardener finds a
new or strange insect destroying his
crops, and does not know an etfectual
means of combating it, the best thing
to do is to box up few of the crea-
lures and send them by mail to an
entomologist. A couple of the insects
themselves will furnish the entomolo-
gist more information concerning their
real character than three or four pages
Of description.
In putting up the insects for ship
ment it is best to use wooden or tin
box, rather than one OF pasteboard,
which might easily be broken in tran
sit, and allow the insects to escape. 1t
is we'll to fill the box with the leaves
Of the plant upon which the insects
were found; these serve as both food
and packing. No breathing holes need
be pierced in the box, as insects do
not need much air.
Small insects may be corked up in a
small glass bottle, which is then placed
in an augerhole in a block Of wood,
and the whole wrapped in stoutpaper.
In sending soft insects or Larvae, it is
q good plan to fill the bottle with alco-
hol, to preserve them, instead OF try
ing to send them alive.-John W.

The marine sentry who gave Captain
Sigsbee tho first report of the disaster
40 the Maine is worthy of mention.
His task was triaing, perhaps, but he
did it with On American spirit of fidel'
Iiy to his trust. Amid all the excite
raent, with explosions filing the air
with noises that only partly drowned
the shrieks of the wounded and dying
saen, with the ship blazing and filing
with water, this marine calmly drew
himself up to salute as the COM
rnander of the vessel stumbled against
him in the dark and made the formal
report of the disaster in the briefest
possible terms. This gallant fellow
now makes light Of his experience,
saying that "any Yankee marine would
do the same thing" He pays high
but not undeserved tribute to the
trustworthines of the men who go to
sea in the American ships of war. The
spirit that animates him is that which
enabled tho American navy in 1925
60 sweep the Atlantic and gave to the
young Republic the command of the
seas and q high rank among the
worlds naval powers. The English
papers were inclined to suggest that
the disaster may have been due to
negligence or lack of discipline on
board the ship. The utter improba'
t,ility Of such q slanderous theory is
indicated by this display of good or
dor on the decks of the Maine in the
first moments Of the disaster, when all
conditions were ripe for panic and de-
moralization.
