That "bright future" in store for
Spain appears to be hidden by an
eclipse which originated in the

It is a wonderful consolation to
a man when he is in trouble to tell
him that you hope it will prove a
valuable and lasting lesson?-St.
Louis Humorist.
About thirty-two per cent Of the
people Of Spain are able to read

cent Of these can swallow Blanco's
bulletins. Minneapolis Times.
The Italian government is clos
ing up newspaper Offices and uni
versities, but if it wishes to strike
at the root of the whole trouble,
let it confscate the corner grocer
ies.-Cleveland Leader.
Word comes that most Of the
Cubans whom this war was started
to hell are already starved to
death, but they are the last people
Spain will ever starve on the
American continent.-C Chicago Rec Pc
ord.
AS soon as we get things regu-
lated in the Philippines, we will
be even with England on her

A commendable industrial Gus
tom, which is growing in favor, is
that of giving Saturday half holi-
days, especially during the sum-
mer season. The leading local job
printers are among those who have
made an agreement for such hol-
iday Minneapolis Progress.
The jojos Of the Spanish navy
are Bermejo, who is the Spanish
minister Of marine, and Montejo,
the man who was so badly whipped
by Dewey two weeks ago. The
Spanish fleet seems to be suffering
from too much jojo, which is about
as bad, apparently, as the jimjams.

Carl Schurz, who was unable to
see how the American people

unable to see how the people who
positively declined to renew their
subscriptions could possibly be
all wrong.-Chicago Inter Ocean.
It is somewhat remarkable CO.
incidence that May day, the day
on which Dewey sailed into Ma
Mia harbor and annihilated the
Spanish feet, was the day on
which Sir Francis Drake, in 1887,
with twenty nine ships boldly en-
tered the harbor Of Cadiz, and ST.
fenced the Spanish forts, and de-
stroyed over hundred Spanish
vessels designed for the great ar
mazda which was soon to sail for
the conquest of England. And,
like Dewey, Drake in this splendid
achievement, did not lose ship
nor man. Boldness generally
accomplishes it's results with less
loss than falls TO the LOT of tirnid
