IT is difficult, Of course, for Spain to
recognize that any good may come out of
this war for her, but when she gets rid
OF the task Of governing distant depend-
enceS, for Which she has proved herself
SO unfit, it is not impossible that II new
Spain may rise from the ashes OF the old.
The Peninsula is large enough to occupy
the resources and enc rgies Of the people
who live upon it. 1t is a fertile country,
well favored in many particulars. Tie
people, perhaps, if given an opportunity
to devote themselves to their own affairs,
may make something out Of them. War
may be the surgeon which will cut out
the iEcurable disease, which has wasted
the best blood and practically all Of the
country's revenues.

DEMOCRATS ELECT
j. j. Cassidy Building Inspector After
Deadlock Extending Nearly
One Year

After lengthy deadlock extending
over period of nearly year the Demo-
cratic members OF the City Council last
night got together and ousted the city
building inspector and several other Of
ficials whose terms had expired.
The principal fight has been over the
Office Of building inspector, which has
been held by Lewis 7. Grub, Repub.
lican. The Democrats have majority
in the Council of one, and the prolonged
deadlock has been caused by the fact
that Mr.. Cannon, Democrat, refused to
go into caucus with his party men. ow-
ing to disposition on the part OF his
colleagues not to recognize..certain claims
of Mr. Cannon.
1t was thought that the caucus held
Tuesday night settled the matter but last
night another conference of the Demo-
Gratis was held during a ten minute re-
| cess.
At $50 they filed out Of the caucus
room. Previous to this seven ballots for
building inspector had been taken but
without success. However on the eighth
ballot J. ]. Cassidy, Democrat was
elected over Lewis 7. Grub, Republican
the present incumbent. The vote stood
to 6.
On strict party vote the other election
resulted as follows: Clerk of Council

TIE movement of troops is supposed
to indicate the immediate invasion of
Cuba, but it is all supposition. The De-
partment will not advertise its plans,
and it is wise, Spain should hear of the
invasion of Cuba after it shall have been
invaded. And the invasion OF Cuba and
the reduction of Havana shall be con-
temporaneous. Spain cannot succor IIav-
ana until it overcomes our blockading
fleet, and unless it has a powerful fleet
in Western waters it cannot break the
blockade. We know now that the cock
and-bull yarns that came from the West
Indies during the early part Of the week
were Inventions But in the absence of
news inventions will sell Just as well.
The public must learn to distinguish
fact from rumor The rumors may divert
the public, but the facts alone are ma
terial.

THERE is a demand that all the vessels
of the American navy shall bear Amer
lean namps-which seems to be equiv
alent to saying they should have Indian
names. The idea is good one, provided
there are anongh euphonious Indian
names to go round. There are many such
names that are too uncouth for general
use. Perhaps the naming Of the new tor
pedo boats will show what We can do in
this line.

Commerce and Finance.

In Flour the movement was slow and
unsatisfactory, and quotations were
purely nominal. While buyers ideas of
value were considerably below those of
manufacturers, the latter were, as a rule,
indiSposed to stimulate business at the
expense OF price commissions. Spot
Bran was scarce, firm, and in good de-
mand. Receipts of Hay were small and
prices well maintained with steady
outlet for all desirable grades. Straw
was quiet and unchanged Refined
Sugars were quiet and steady. provisi-
ons sold in a jobbing way on 4 basis of
quotations. Wheat was depressed in
sympathy with the break in other do
nestle grain centres, and on call prices
declined &c, May No. 2 Red being
nominaIly quoted at 81. 4S@ll. 40 Export
demand vas light, but offerings we're
very small. Corn options were firm, but
showed no important change up to the
close of the call. Export demand con-
tinucd good, and local car lots ruled
firm, under scarcity. Oats were III
meagre supply, and car lots ruled firm,
but quiet. Exporters had few orders.
Cotton was steady but quiet.
