GERMAN INTERVENTION.

Those who are disposed to believe
in the sensational rumor of German
intervention in the Cuban and Philip
pine affair, belong to a class of people
who believe that wars are only fun,
and are inexpensive diversions. Aside
from all other many and most weighty
considerations, the German Govern
ment is building up with great eX-
pense, and with much labor, valuable
commercial marine. To put this in
Jeopardy, to expose it to the attacks
of American privateers, to arrest its
own foreign trade, and throw that
trade directly over to the British is a
proposition too absurd to be thought
Of To dictate in the slightest degree
to 70, 000,O 900 of people, who are as skill
full in war as in peaceable pursuits, is
an adventure which no German states
man will contemplate, unless all Eu-
rope is with him.
1t is natural enough that the Eu-
ropeans should refuse TO believe that
the United States is engaged in a war
for the sake of humanity. American
political history abounds in authentic
accounts of the robbery of Mexico, in
order to secure Texas, and vast west
ern domain including California. The
Germans understand it, and will not
believe that the American people are
any more virtuous now than then.
They cannot appreciate the fact that
slavery instigated this robbery and
was the sole and only cause of it.
Nations, like persons, get certain err
roneous ideas, and no reasoning will
remove them.
But the Germans, with all their sus-
picions of the claims to disinterested
action by the Americans, will not i'm
peril their commercial marine in war
with the United States. All they can
do is to give us a piece of their
minds and let it go at that.
That the German fleet may take &C
ton at Manila is not improbable, if
the German residents in that place are
exposed to destruction by the insur-
gents. If the Spanish in Manila can
not protect German subjects against
riot and revolution, there may be
some justification in the interference
of the German ships. Admiral Dewey
may prevent complications by taking
the place, if he has a sufficient land
force behind him.

WINE LICENSES.
Gladstone Erred, the Lancet Saws.
Alcohol Is Il Poison.

Sir:-In 1860, Mr.. Gladstone, hoping
to curb the spread of intemperance,
introduced what is known in England
as the Grocers' License, permitting the
sale Of wines by those persons. It was
hoped that the lighter wines would
displace the use of spirits. The re-
suits Of the system have been worse
than failure. Some time since The
Lancet, abiding TO the matter, said:
There is, unfortunately, strong evl-
dence to show that during the period
of its operation no little public mis-
chief has resulted. This has been
proved by the freedom with which the
so-called grOcers' licenses have been
abused for the indulgence of a drunk
en- habit. We are therefore,
Of opinion that the time has come for
careful reconsideration Of the whole
question respecting the issue or abO-
lition of the licenses. That
the sale of liquor in every instance
be registered, as is that OF poisOns by
druggists"
Few understand that alcohol is
poison, and that its active power is in
proportion to its strength. Only last
month there appeared in The Lancet
IneSe WOFQS. Lead, dICOuOI anu OLuSI
pOisOns may produce" etc, etc. In
the same paper / read cit is in the
middle and later life that al
cohol finds a man out. Such persons
innocently expect a bottle or two of
medicine to set them right, forgetting
the number of larger bottles emptied
in the past and the length of time de-
voted to the process" Those Of us
who have we'll advanced in life are not
likely to change any of our habits, but
in all fairness, let US try to put the
truth touching alcohol before our
younger fellows.

THE WAR POLICY.

Out of the large mass of news and in
formation which comes to rs, through
the mails, we can see that the war
policy Of the American Government
has been somewhat modified lately.
The condition OF Spain indicates that
break down may take place at any
moment, and a suspension of hOstii-
ties take place If this takes place
before the American forces get a foot
hold in Porto Rico. Manila and the
Caroline Islands, the result Of the war
may be the freedom of Cuba only It
is evident that the desire of the Amer
lean Government is to drive the Span
iards out of the Philippines, the Caro-
lines and Porto Rico before any peace
negotiations take place. The Ameri-
can forces probably now occupy the
latter place. Manila may also be now
in possession 81 the American troops.
There is reason to believe that the
Washington Government is alive 10
the needs of driving the Spanish from
the Carolines. The treatment of Am
erican missionaries there by the Span
ish forces has been cruel, and high
handed. The State department is well
posted in the matter, as it compelled
Spain 10 pay an Indemnity for out
RACES committed there several years
ago. We suspect that John Bull has
not failed to suggest to President Nc
Kinley, that the war job will not be
completed until the Carolines are free.
It is said in the European Press,
that the Queen Regent is now willing
to secure peace, with the loss of Cuba,
as the Pope, the Gar, and the En-
peror of Austria have declared that
they will not recognize Don Carlos,
should he steal the Spanish throne.
But the military party, headed by
Campos, and WeyIer say that no Am
erican force can take Cuba and the
Spanish troops must be allowed to
fight.
The London Telegraph says that all
that now remains for Spain in the
Coming Catastrophe" is death with
dignity" Even Castelar, says in an ar
ticle in one of the Madrid papers:
eve shall have at the supreme mo-
ment of national anguish, our own
Sedan" He means by this, the Great
ion of another Republic.
For these reasons the next mail may
bring us extraordinary news.

Warden Hale did not attempt to

The prison officials were all enthu-
siastic in their praise Of Durrant's
nerve. He proudly declined all offers
of stimulants to enable him to make
bold showing on the scaffold. The
criminal was apparently proud of his
race, and vowed that he would ''Die

Durrant's most urgent request of

that the rope with which he was
hanged be burned. His wishes in both
these respects were observed by the

CONGRESSIONAL.


Jan. 1.-THE feature of the session Of the
Senate was a speech delivered by Mr..
Teller of Colorado regarding press reports
that the recent efforts to make 1t appear
that Secretary Gage had rendered his
resignation as a member of the Cabinet to
President Mckinley were a part of
conspiracy of the silver men to dis
rupt the Cabinet and create dissension
between the President and his adj
visers Mr.. Teller branded the pubhca-
ton as an insult to the advoc ates
of the free coinage of silver. He was sat-
ished that the President and Secretary
Gage were in full accord on the financial
question He attacked the Republican
party because 1t was a party advocating
the gold standard and expressed his inten-
ton of doing all in his power to defeat the
