cANADA,s TOTE ON PROHIBITION,

Canada was carried by the prohibit tionists last week by a large majority, but those who know the situation there think that there will not be a prohib- tory law. Every province in the De- minion except Quebec gave a majority in favor of prohibition. The majority against it in Quebec was heavy, amounting to 40,S72 The French Ca nadians seem to have gone solidly in opposition to the proposed reform. The largest majority in favor of it was giv- en by Nova Scotia, 17,679. As. might be expected, the cities generally voted heavily for the open saloons. Professor Goldwin Smith sends this statement to the New York Sun: The result of the plebiscite on prohibition is morally and practically fatal to prohibitive legisla- tion. Prohibitionist organs and organ- izers admit that their cause has suf- fered moral defeat and that prohibition is shelved for the present. The great centers and the province of Quebec pronounced by overwhelming majorities against it. No government would ven- ture to coerce them.
 This is a reasonable view of the sit uation. An analysis of the vote also justifies the belief that partisan poli- tics figured extensively in the election. It is believed that to place the liberal party in an embarrassing position the conservatives who oppose prohibition refrained from voting. If the liberal party accepts this vote as fairly rep resentative of the sentiment of the country and attempts to frame pro- hibitory law in line with the instruc- tions thus laid down the conservatives look for a sweeping victory at the next parliamentary election.

redemption charges is about $l04, ,000, 900. To meet this annual requirement. Spain has a revenue of about $l60 0,O0O,0O0, but as the expenses of the government, even when economically administered, will amount to more than $1O0, 100000 year, it is sufficiently evident that it cannot hope to meet the interest upon its debt, and an attempt to do this, even in a partial way, by increased taxes, must certainly provoke deep popular indigna- ton. Beside this, more than loo, ,000 men who have been serving in the army will be brought back to Spain and will be summarily dismissed many of them quite incapable, from physical dsabil- ity of earning living and subsisting without government aid. Twenty thou sand military officers will, of necessity, be retired on an exceedingly meagre pension, not enough to buy them their food, to say nothing of the further sup port of themselves and their families. The factories in Catalonia, which, un- der the Spanish colonial system, have found a market for large amounts of their wares in Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines, because the people of these countries have not been permitted to purchase goods made elsewhere, except with heavy tax added, will, of neces- sity, be closed, because the old markets will no longer exist, and as a result thousands of wage-earners will be thrown out of employment. Under these circumstances, when the bite of poverty and distress begins to take hold of the people, it is, in the opinion of this authority inevitable that there will be a revolutionary uprising through the entire country, which no government now formed, or to be form ed, can hope to resist. The outcome, in his opinion, bids fair to be the re- pudiation of the national debt, and an experience in Spain not unlike that en- dured by France in the days of the French revolution.

THE NEW DOG DAYS.

It is not often that we are blessed with series of dog-days in October, but this is a wonderful year and we must not be surprised at anything that happens. What pleasing "reminiscences of a happy past such days as we are now enjoying call up. Don't you re- member, sweet Alice Ben Bolt, how cheering and improving the dog days of the summer were, and how they hung on just as if they were bulldog days and hated to let go? Of course we can't expect such a session as we had then, and we shouldn't complain because the new series will probably be brief. Let us enjoy them while we may, and as much as we may. We can't have everything to please us, and it will probably be cool Christmas.

THE SUFFERING MILES.

The Spaniards owe the mule some- thing, for it was a mule that fell glori ously at Matanzas early in the war and gave the Spaniards a chance to report his death as the sole damage done by the United States at the Battle of Ma tanzas. The United States owes the mule much, for he has done his best to draw order out of chaos and make up for the deficiencies of men. It is cheer ing to know that the services and suf- ferings of the mule are not to pass en- tirely unnoticed by those high in com- mand in the United States army. Thus General Coppinger, in his report on the quantity and quality of the supplies furnished the army, says: The quality of team mules furnished by the depart ment was very good. The treatment they received in many instances was atrocious. Untrained and often brutal teamsters, without proper wagon mas ters, serving under untrained regimen tai quartermasters, amid the Tampa sandhills, under the burning sun, pro- duced the result that might be natu- rally expeeted-dead, dying and disa- bled mules.
 When the responsibility for the treat ment of the men in the service has been definitely and fairly located it might not be a bad idea to find out who hurt the mules.

A child is born--lt gasps and cries, Ana claps its wee fists to It's eyes; It stares at those who stand around, And sleeps, a stranger unto care, While she that smiles OCT joys, neW-found, Prays for him ere He needs her prayer. hundred childish ills he worries through, thousand times ais life hangs by Il

 Behold him bending or his book;
 Think on the patience and the care, 3 The planning and the toll it took
 To place him there Toll and hope and despair, Grleylng and doubtlng and joy; Days that were dark and days that were
 fair For those who love the boy; Years that have wearly dragged, Years that have joyously passed, Hopes that have flown and grlefs that have
 Jagged
 To make him man, at last. Hark to the summons that comes! Hear the merclless roll of the drums! The man for whom plans were made, He for whom schemes were laid, Must brush them aside, for somewhere Somebody has wronged some one Let the banners wave high in the air, There Is soul-stirring work to be done! Down through the valley and over the

 regiment sweeps to the fray What of the prayers, the toll, the hope, And the lofty plans of yesterday?

 End In a lump of lfeless clay.

time United States minister to Ger many, is a Philadelphian, but has been residing for some years in Weisbaden, Germany. Recently she decided to re- turn to her native city, but was fear ful, the Record says, lest some house. hold effects should suffer damage in transit. She hit upon plan which was decidedly novel, although some what expensive. She hired one of the largest furniture vans to be had in Europe, and in it were packed her household goods under her close and careful supervision. Six strong horses drew the van from Weisbaden to Ham, burg, where the body of the vehicle was lifted from the axles and deposited in the hold of the German steamer Assyria, which was bound for Phia- delphia. Upon the arrival of the As syria at that port few days ago, Col lector Thomas, upon the application of the representatives of Miss Drake, de- tailed Customs Inspector Mcguire to take charge of the vehicle. The huge box was set upon wheels once more, and six horses drew it to the South Forty-1rst street residence, where it was unloaded under the eye of the in- spector. The van will be sent back to Hamburg, completing a journey of 5000 miles.

but a little of elaboration goes a very long way in a bicycle suit, and more than little spells ruin. Riders are left to judge for themselves of the rig shown here, which was one of the new est. It was in ox-blood red cloth, the skirt arranged in boxpleats all around, wider pleat broadening toward the bottom giving the front and showing a row of buttons down each side. The jacket was on the Norfolk order and had wide center boxpleat in front only. Boxpleats ornamented the sleeves of the gown, and black leather belted it. Brown is a good shade for this model especially good since it Is now stylish in all manner of dress stuffs.
 The cowboy hat appears of sailor va riety in light weight felt, the brim very wide and flexible. It is worn tipped just a little forward and to one side and is certainly picturesque. It is shown in bright red, in tans and in black. Tn bright red 1t is rather too pronounced, but Is just right for late fall wear in the mountains. and some of the young women who do all their wheeling in the early morning wear this sort of hat. Later than 10 o'clock little of such headgear is seen.
 Fashionable mothers seemed this last summer to be making tiny sportswomen of their daughters. The tots were trained to the wheel, swimming, horse back and other exercises that would render her fearless and tend to give her vigor and beauty These sports are be- i,1o for i5 at md to great benefit to the little folk. so for once faddish fancy has resulted in distinct benefit.

A New Bicycle Suit.

Fall has brought revival of interest in wheeling, recovering to this exercise many women who found it irksome while the weather was warm. A nat ural consequence is cropping out of new ideas in bicycle suits, some of which are interesting. A majority of all departures in bicycle rigs are fail- ures, because most of them go too far from jaunty inconspicuousness. A re- cent tendency has been toward dressi- ness. Of this there has not been much,

The cotton planters of Alabama feel that they have been duped by the adop- tion of a uniform size for cotton bales a course adopted last summer to which they consented. The press box made the standard takes bale that weighs four hundred pounds; the old standard, which was not always adhered to, was five hundred pounds. The weight of a hale is therefore diminished twenty per cent. Planters have now discovered that it costs as much to gin, freight, store, weigh, dray and compress four hundred-pound bale as it used to cost for a five-hundred-pound bale. In figuring it up it is said that the extra cost to the farmers of the South will amount to 2,OOO, ,OOO this season. The low price of cotton makes the charges annear excessive Hence there is much grumbling and talk of legislative action.

Consul General Hurst at Vienna has made report to the State department that American-built bicycles are in great demand in that city, and that there is the chance of large and rapid increase in the business. He calls at tention to the fact that last year one dealer alone sold seven hundred wheels at S11O each, and in direct competition with domestic wheels selling for one- third less. He recommends that Amer ican manufacturers look over the field and tells them that there is great market in Austria, via Trieste, provid- ed profits are sealed a little, and that wheels be fitted with brakes, mud guards, lamp and bell, accessories that Americans are willing to and must pay for, but which every foreigner believes should be part of the wheel.

Ernest A. Hummel, manufacturing
jeweler, of st. Paul, has at last brought
to perfection the long-talked-of and
often ridiculed idea of transmitting
tical test last Friday night, between
Key West and the New York Herald
office, photograph of Gen. Gomez and
one of the cruiser Montgomery enter
ing Havana harbor and saluting MORO
Castle were transmitted over two
thousand miles of wire. The portrait
of General Gomez was sent in three
minutes and the picture OF the cruiser
in twenty-three minutes, the large
amount of detail in the latter drawing
requiring the longer time. The de-
vice is claimed by the Herald to work
to perfection, and that by it any pic
ture can be transmitted any distance
and exactly reproduced.

method employed will be of general in

1t is probable that if the United
States had been represented at Madrid
by Fitzhugh Lee in 1878, when the Vir-
ginius affair occurred, it is almost a
certainty that it would not now be
necessary to appropriate $50, 900 for
hurried preparations for war with the
decrepit dons. The Virginius affair
gave the dons an impression that the
United States would submit to any
thing rather than run the risk of en-
gaging in war.

LIE TRUE. IT MEANS WAR.

The statement from the editorial
columns of the Army and Navy Reg
lister. printed this morning in our tele-
graphic columns, comes, from such a
publication, with much of the force of
a semi-official utterance, and is of the
greatest Importance The charge of
Spanish treachery in the destruction
OF the Maine is a direct one, and the
added remark that there can be but
one outcome of such a report, and that
preparations for the inevitable result
were based upon information sent to
the President by two members Of the
board of inquiry, fully explains the
great activity the government has
shown within the past week or more.
1t may be accepted as a fact, that if
the statements thus published in the
Army and Navy Register are true, no
human power can restrain the Amer
lean people from the summary freeing
of Cuba and the administering of such
a thrashing to Spain as the Dons will
remember for the remainder of their
national existence. The country will
await the developments of the next few
days with anxiety as we'll as interest.
The facts cannot much longer be with
held.
