sagasta PrOrogues the cortes.

New York, September 15.-A dispatch
to the New York Herald from Madrid
says: The senators we're sitting in their
house ready to talk on for many days.
General Primo de Rivera had concluded
a violent speech, which had caused the
bell Of the president Of the senate to be
rung violently; he had been warned that
such strong words could not be used in
the senate; the COnde de Almenas, fu-
rious, bad asked permission to mount
the tribune; MonteTO Rios, the president,
had refused him, foreseeing scenes which
he would be unable to control, when
there was a general iutter.
Sagasta, in his uniform, with the decree
Of the suspension Of the session Of the
cOrtes In his right hand, assembled the
tribune. He mounted the TOstrum and
read the decree-and the law fOrblds
any one speaking after the decree has
been read The decree was brief
1t was then o'clock. Leaving the
senate, Sagasta entered his carriage,
which was driven at full gallOp to the
COrtes, where he entered. His arrival
was the signal for the opening Of the ses-
sion. He repeated exactly what he had
said in the upper house and the cortes
and senate within half an hour were
both closed without time having been
given for remonstrance or murmur. It
is generally believed that continuation
of the sessions would have resulted in
dissensiCns which would bring a revolu-
ton.

No rHOre Volunteers to Go Now.

Washington, September 15.--In an In
terview General Miles says: mot an
other volunteer will be discharged be-
yond the number designated in the Pres
idents order except for cause. l think
IL Congress had appreciated last winter
as fully as it does now the necessity for
larger standing army, the country
would be in a much better position.
Then, too there would exist to-day
much better feeling in the army. The
war is practically at an end, as far as
we car Judge, and as the volunteers un-
derstand they were enlisted for the war,
It naturally follows that they are now
anxious to be mustered out. do not
blame them.
IF Congress has experienced a change
Of heart In regard to a larger standing
army than we have had, which | sincere
ly trust it has, and will amend the pres
ent laws, the volunteer troops will be
mustered out just as fast as the regular
army can be recruited up to its maxi
mum strength. This will take some
months. The volunteer troops who have
decided to remain in the service will
probably be compelled to remain in ac-
tive service until spring at the earliest.
About $4,000 of the volunteers in service
now will be retained"
General Miles added that he thought
that a garrison of at least 10000 men
would be needed In Porto Rico. The un-
certainty as to the ability Of the Cubans
to govern themselves makes a garrison
of $4,000 men necessary there. II the
insurgents return to peaceful pursuits
this will not be necessary, but as we in
terfered in the affairs OF that island be-
cause of Spanish misrule and the general
disorder which was permitted we must
now fulfill our promise to give better
conditions.

Wheeler Defends cubans.

Gen. Joe Wheeler has a good word to
say for the Cuban insurgents. He says:
"The character Of the Cubans has been
somewhat misrepresented. They are by
no means as black as they are painted
AS far as l have come to know they are
tractable and permit themselves to be
reasoned with 1t must be borne in mind
that their ways Of thinking are entirely
different from ours, and they look on
things In an entirely different light, but
once they understand that what we in
tend to do Is for their good they will
hardly cause us any trouble.
"The administration has been serious
ly considering the question Of enlisting
Cubans for the United States army, and
am quite in favor Of the idea. l think
they would make good soldiers, with a
little training under American officers,
and once they absorb the American SOL
dier's traits they can be relied upon to
take care Of Cuba themselves. OF course,
at present they are not fit to govern,
and they will have no opportunity Of
doing So"

recting the dramatic production of his
famous novel, THE Christian" A
Milwaukee girl, learning of the fact,
and being an ardent autograph COL
lector, wrote him requesting that he
send her his autograph. This he did
not do, being adverse to distributing
his signature broadcast or the benefit
of faddists. The Milwaukee girl, how
ever, was determined to secure the
autograph, and went about it in a bus
iness-like way. She wrote again, re-
questing the autograph, and had her
letter registered. The postman, upon
delivering the registered letter, took
the novelist's receipt for it, which is
required by law to be returned to the
sender of the registered letter. the

laws of Massachusetts. said statutes
having been enacted in 1857. Even in
those early times there were laws
against monopolies. A butcher was
forbidden to ply the art of tanner,
nor could tanner invade the trade of
a. butcher. There were graded fines
for drunkenness. An innkeeper was
liable OF fine for selling any one per-
son more than half pint Of wine at
sitting, or for allowing a man to tip
pie on his premises for more than half
an hour. The evil of gambling on
horse races was denounced, and fines
were imposed for betting thereon"

THE OPENING
Of the Republican Campaign Today
at GAINESVILLE.

Despite the fact that there is less
than the usual interest in politics this
fall there is every indication that the
Republican campaign opening at Me-
mortal Hall tomorrow night will be g
success from every standpoint.
In the matter of speakers the array
of talent is all that could be desired
Everybody is anxious to hear Con
gresham Van Voorhis. They know
him to be an honest, earnest, capable
legislator, who has won the confidence
of the Administration and the older
Republican leaders in Congress.
While he has acquired reputation as
torcible speaker throughout the dis
trict, this will be his first speech in
this city.
Ex-Mayor Caldwell, of Cincinnati
like Congressman Van Voorhis, is
plain spoken man and will put the is
sues of the campaign before the peo-
pie without any flourishes, but so ev-
cry one can understand them.
Judge Bowersox is the "old man ell
oquent" of the aggregation, and he
will doubtless stir the enthusiasm of
the audience to the highest pitch.
Like the other gentlemen there is no
abuse in his political vocabulary, and
his political adversaries enjoy his ad-
dresses as we'll as his political friends.
There will be considerable attend
ance from the other counties of the
district. Every man, woman or child
in Southeastern Ohio who is at all in
terested in the political future of the
country, every one who desires to see
President Mckinley sustained for his
able brilliant conduct of the war,
should turn out tomorrow night and
hear these able speakers.--Times Re-
corder.

The Chinese Situation,

China is always queer to the white
man. The Chinese go about every
thing differently from what we are ac-
customed to. The Chinaman starts
everything where we leave of, and quits
where we start. His civilization is
left handed one. Over in the white
mans lands should some aged re1a-
tive of the king discharge the ruler
from his situation, and then lose him
and set up another monarch in his
place, an enterprising reporter would
have learned whether the disappearing
king had been murdered, committed
suicide, gone fishing to get away from
job hunters, or taken the jag cure But
in China these little formalities are
not observed as with us, and it is suf-
ficient to know that the old king is
lost in the shuttle and a new one has
been placed on the pay roll. To ask
too many questions would seem offic-
ious in China, especially as it is per-
sonal matter with the emperor who
has been released, and to dig up
score that has been buried might
prove embarrassing both to the en-
peror. whose affairs would be dis
closed, and to the digger, whose head
might come off as suggestion to him
to mind his own business
China is shy king. The "Son of

disowned. But another son was in re-
serve, and the loss is so slight that it
will not be mentioned, and there YOU
are. And as the ways of the Chinese
are often suggestive of hard sense 1T
is we'll to consider before criticising
too much this disappearing act. II
new king can be supplied at NOM
ent's notice, what is the use to be par
ticular about the king, and what better
is the European custom OF keeping a
king until he dies of old age than the
Chinese habit of losing him before he
is worthless?
And If the rest OF the world would
awake some day and find that their
kings had dropped out of sight, what
would be the loss? 1t is only in Am
erica that we realize how utterly USE
less the king is, and what an exhor-
bitant price other nations pay for
maintaining royalty. In a game of
checkers is the only place where a
king is worth what he costs.-Pitts-
burg Times.

A New System.

The animslous spectacle Of q large
gang Of penitentisry convicts working
in the open with no officers or armed
force to guard them is presented every
day at Yuma, Ariz. They are camped
on the Colorado river. a little above
Yuma, to be exact, and they are en-
gagged in cutting wood for the terri, ory.
None OF them escape. None try TO es-
cape. Why do they stay2 Because
each man guards the other. Each man
is "short-termer," none of them hay
ing more than a year yet to serve. All
are allowed rebate for the work they
do. When a convict has cut two cords
of wood he has earned days rebate
on his term. But should one try to
escape all lose rebates. Thus each
man becomes his brothers keeper.-O.

announcement that "A Contented

Unjust Criticism.

The address of Secretary Alger at
| Jacksonville, Fla, the other day had
the right ring in it. The metal had
been hammered so much that its tone
had become true, loud, clear and in
cisive. and could be heard all oyer the
land
The government has made some
mistakes and we are fully aware of it;
but it has done the best it could under
the circumstances. We were con-
fronted by a novel situation and we
grasped it to the best of our ability.
That our grasp has not been so bad
as some of our opponents and detrac-
tors would make us believe, is evil
denced by the fact that the entire civ
ilized world has looked with amaze
ment at our success. l venture to say
, that / claim not too much when | as
sert that this Government at this day
is looked upon as power to be reck-
oned with in the affairs of the world
whenever they concern us.
But few really realize the position of
affairs. You were faced by war-war
not urged on by the administration, nor
prepared for; but urged upon us by the
people and it's representatives assem-
bled in Congress. Had we immediate
| ly acceded to these impetuous de-
mands matters would have been much
worse than they were. We had to
commission five thousand officers and
some of these undoubtedly were in
capable and others culpably criminal.
We will weed out the first and punish
the last
To do so we need your assistance.
You must point ont to us every dere-
LECTION of duty on the part of any of
them. The Government is desirous of
bestowing reward where it belongs,
and mete out punishment wherever
deserved. With your assistance, we
have obtained position in the eyes
of the world superior to any occupied
~ uo hlIlCl vs. anu Ilc HONtIuuSut
duly appreciates your services.
This is the proper talk on the part
of the Government; no defense is
needed. 1t would be out of place. In
military circles it is fully admitted
that to train competent officers is the
work of years, and thus you can
plainly see for yourselves if not ev-
erything has gone smooth, it was the
natural sequence of the position in
which we were placed.
Our people should bear in mind that
while the first act of volunteering is
the first outburst of patriotism, it has
to be followed up by many other sac
rifices. Privations of all kinds, pa
tience and endurance. There is no
government and no people in the liv-
ing world where patriotism exists to
the same extent as it does in this free
and glorious country, and where it is
more honored and better rewarded.
But our soldiers may fight ever so
bravely (and where have any fought
more valiantly tnan at Santiago) but
they must have good leaders to make
them successful; and leaders are not
made in a day. They are the result
of teaching and long experience.
You must all bear in mind that if
mistakes have been made they shall
be remedied so as to avoid them in the
future. No nation has ever raised an
army of quarter of a million men in
the field in so Short time with such
glorious results ID
