STAINS WEAKNESS.

The great weakness of Spain is not in the quality of her soldiers. The men of the line have behaved well in nearly all wars. American correspon- dents in Cuba who are very ardently on the side of the insurgents have. agreed that the private soldiers. of the Spanish army are brave, uncomplain- ing and too good fighting men for their miserable commissary service, lack of discipline and style, and the general demoralization of the government they serve. It is impossible to doubt that the race which defended Saragossa is brave enough for martial deeds. In spite of the utter collapse of the cor rupt and indOlent royal government the Spanish struggled against Napol- con with a persistent determination and fierce courage which aided very materially in the downfall of the mas ter of continental Europe
 The truth is that Spain's greatest shortcomings as military power are similar to those of Turkey. They are the result of national defects which are as glaring in civil government and the affairs of peace as in the army and in war. No one who is not denseIy ignorant of Turkish history questions the bravery of Turkish troops. They have done heroic work in too many terrible campaigns. Yet Turkey is a third rate military power because the government is corrupt, slothful, un- progressive and blindly despotic, while the industries of the country are back ward, its people are poor and it's re- sources undeveloped. The same state ment applies, with some variations of degree and kind, to Spain also
 These considerations point the moral that military strength Is not a thing apart now, at it once was, but a part of the general progressiveness and civilization of people. There was a time when too much civilization, as civilization went then, enervated a people and unfitted them for conflict. The most harbaric races used to be the most powerful in war Civiliza- tion has changed all this, and today the nation most forward in the arts of peace is the nation most formidable in war. This condition is both a bull | wark to civilization and a discourage- ment to war.-Cleveland Leader.

The Daily Graphic is giving the people of Pine Bluff the best reports of the State Fair obtainable. It is issued during the Fair as morning daily and is the only newspaper that has attempted descriptive ar ticles of the various exhibits and departments. Of course this in wolves considerable extra expense and trouble, but the Graphic stops at neither when It comes to giving the news in the quickest manner possible. It is a stroke of enter prise that we believe is entitled to credit, and we are pleassd to note the appreciation of the public.

HIS LEG IS STILL GROWING.
It Gets Long CT and Longer, and He Can't
 Stop It.

Stop It.
 A man out at Rogers park broke his leg few months ago, and in the setting the doctor made some mistake, or else the patient was at fault. for when 1t set the bone joined improperly, and when the man came to walk he found that one leg was several inches shorter than it should be. He was naturally very much inconvenieneea and bemoaned the fact that be was to be Q cripple for life. One day while he was alone at tho house a woman book. eanyasser was ad- mitted. After she had failed to sell him what she had she asked him what the matter was He told her and said that he feared he would be Q cripple for life.
 "HHmphin said tho woman. There is no need of that now since Christian science is doing so much. U
 ''I have heard q great deal about Christian science, . said the man, "but I never heard that it could cure a trou- ble like mine.
 "Why not?' asked the woman. It is doing greater things than that every day. You would better go sec a healer. "
 But there is none here, replied the man.
 Well, " sad the woman, ''I'm some. thing of heeler myself. can't stay here, but I'Il vell you what I'll do. I'll give you tho absent treatment. You just stay where you are, and I'll cure your aAQrs leg, And she went away
 The man smiled, but be thought theye might be something in it after ali. So he began to have faith in the healer. In a few days, however, he had almost for gotten all about it and joked with his wife about the matter. At the end of two weeks he arose to Q standing posi- tion and discovered to his great aston ishment that his short leg was nearly as long as the other. He WAS delighted.
 That woman was all right, he said to his wife, land l have done her 8 great injustice in smiling in my disbe- lief" in a fortnight more both legs were of equal length. He left his room for the first time in several months and went to business. lie proudly showed his leg to all his friends and told every one of the marvellous means by which he recovered. Everything went well for time, but presently the man made the astonishing discovery that the cured limb was still growing. In another two weeks it was fully two inches longer than the one which had not been broken and that it was the well leg on which he now limped.
 This naturally worried him very much. You sec. there was no telling where it would end. Then he reoollect- ed too that he had no idea who the healer was, or where he could find her. He could not even remember the name of the book she was trying to sell. And that is how the matter now stands The mans leg is still growing. That woman is still gadding around the country sell ing books and giving him the absent treatment. If he does find her, she will have to begin on the other leg, and even then the man will only be it for the dime museum. The mans faith in the new science is still unbroken, but he feels that the heascrs should be securely anchored and kept within certain bounds Chicago Chronicle.

Indications are That He Will Rule

QUALIFIED FOR THE POSITION
His Residence of Three Months Has
Given Him Firm Grasp of the
Situation = Greene Will
Govern Havana.

Wade, president of the United States evac-
uation comm ssion, has received certain in
structions from President Mckinley, which
seem to indicate that he will be appointed
military governor of Western Cuba The
generals three months of official residence
here have given him a firm grasp Of the sit
uation. He has been student of social
and civil conditions as well as of military
necessities and knows precisely what he
would do If invested with the authority.
General Greene will be governor of the
city of Havana. He has already virtually
taken hold as he is having some of the
streets cleaned and is devising measures for
the sanitation and policing of the city.
Senior Fernando DeCastro, the Spanish civil
governor is accepting General Greene's sug
gestions and aiding in the preliminary
measures to be adopted. The proclamation
of Marquis De Estaban. the alcade of IIa-
vana, issued on the advise of General
Greene, with regard to throwing refuse into
the streets, is commented on favorably by
the Havana press.
The preparation for a change of flags is
thus being brought about by degrees and
the transition will not be abrupt. Already
the evacuation of the province of Havana
is complete except for the troops stationed
in the city. OF these there are L, ,OOO Gem

Effect Consolidation.

New York, December S.-The Times to-

of the firm of Mcintyre & Wardwell, re-
turned from Europe by the steamship Ma
jestic yesterday Mr.. Mcintyre tacitly ad-
mittetd that his mission abroad was to en-
deavor to effect consolidation of the mill
ing interests. He declined positively to
make statement as to his success or fail
ure, or to indorse assertions made in this
regard by friends or others.
On the floor of the produce exchange
few people offered to wager that the deal
had gone through and that Mr.. Mcintyre
intended to keep people guessing.
Mr.. Mcintyre failed in his endeavors at
a consolidation In the west because of the
opposition of certain firms. If he carries
his plan through he will unite interests
