ENOUGH AND TO SPARE.

The world has already supped full of horrors from the Cuban conflict. It is time for it to end. Its first American vic- tim was the brave Ensign Breckinridge The next are the 253 victims of the Maine explosion. Shall there be others? Must the internal carnage go on until Cuba Is depopulated and until other blameless Americans are sacrificed through acci- dent, treachery or incompetency? Is it not time for the United States Govern ment to say that the war must stop-that this nineteenth century materialzation of Dante's Inferno must come to an end and to enforce the mandate? If our men must perish, is it not better that they shall perish in fair and open fight than go down as helpless victims of mystery, treachery or naction?-Minneapolis Tri- bune

CALAMITY UNBEARARLE.

Had the Spanish cruisers and torpedo boats attacked the Maine and sent her to the bottom with the loss of 250 lives the calamity would have been hard to bear, but to have the Maine destroyed as she was destroyed on Tuesday night is calam- tience when there is no patience. It is useless to ask for suspension of judgment when Judgment has been given. That Judgment is against Spain, and if it is re- versed it will be on the testimony of wit nesses who have standing in the court of public opinion.-Chicago Inter Ocean

 Lieutenant Choynski, in commenting on the variety displayed in the military uni forms of his associates, said Some are wearing campaign hats because they look better in them, while others wear fatigue caps for the same reason, and I am one of the others. Each man is uniformed according to his own sweet whim, caprice, age or physical condition. Look at Colonel Sanborn who has no cord on his hat and is wearing tan shoes and gloves, while Major Kirkpatrick thinks he Is going to a social function in the Maple room, judging from his cotillon overcoat with silk lapels and his white kid gloves'

The Italian gazed ruefully at the broken frag- ments, and then with quick movement as if impelled by a sudden idea, threw the other bust down to join it's shattered companion, saying: "Georga Washa, he go broka, too'' It was whispered that the colonel also went broke settling the damage, but the truth of the rumor could not be confirmed

ARE TALKING RECIPROCITY
QUESTION CONSIDERED BY THE
ANGLO-AMERICAN COMMISSION.
II IL One OF the Most Serious Problems
to BE Settled Before a Treaty
Is Signed.

Washington, Dec. THE subjects
under consideration by the Anglo
American commission, 1t is stated, in
while the commissioners are quite
guarded. the idea is conveyed that re-
ciprocity presents the most serious
problems for solution before the way
is clear to a treaty. Senator Fairbanks
has entertained the distinguished Brit
ish members of the commission at the
senate end of the capitol, and Repre-
sentative Dingley will extend a similar
courtesy at the house end.
1t Is understood that the session to-
day brought more definite developments
on the important reciprocity question
than have been secured heretofore,
and that the American side presented
a schedule telling about how far IL
was possible TO go on this subject. AL
though the committee will authorize no
statement, intelligent observers of it's
work say that the American PROPOSE
tion probably includes concessions on
barley, live animals, agricultural pro-
ducts and certain ores, and possibly
also some concessions on coal. 1t is
understood not to make concessions on
lumber, which is the item on which
the Canadian officials have been most
desirous OF securing reductions. At the
same time. while free lumber does not
appear to be contemplated by the pres
ent direction of affairs, yet there is a
disposition among the American COM
missioners to admit certain high grades
of lumber free of duty. but not to ad-
NIT the low grades. he latter grades
are the ones constituting the bulk OF
trade across the border. and from the
American standpoint. a heavy influx of
these low grades dominates the market
on this side. 1t is said the concessions
which the Americans are willing to give
are considerably short OF what the
British Canadian side had expected
and had even felt to be essential as
an offer TO concessions already tenta-
lively made on some other branches OF
the negotiations.
