THE CULTURED MAID

You can not dim electric lights,
To give your nerves 3 show;
The doors are now all port-aye-airs,
You're bound to whisper low;
But chairs are stuck on sep'rate mats
With waxed floors in between;
Oh! you can't make love in parlors
A Ia Louis the fourteen.
You can't drop in promiscuous like,
To chat "a little while;
You've got to wear your Sunday duds
To chime in. with the style.
So must give up Betsy,
For she, as Mistress Green,
Might want my parlor furnished

They appointed q committee OF niIe
to wait upon the president and notify
him that a coalition with the democrats
had been agreed upon and that the pres
sident might as we'll understand that at
any time policy Of Intervention, inde,
pendence or plain war could be inaugu-
rated.
This is about the fourth time McKin-
ley has been notified, and perhaps it is
the last. However, the democrats are
not sure.
They say the republican ''insurgents"
will back down again. They have little
conddencetin their new allies, and say
the result will be that the policy of the
administration will finally be carried out.
At. present nobody knows what this
is, but it will develop.
Everybody knows what it isn't.
It is not war if William Mckinley can
prevent it, and he can. Congress is just
beginning to learn what a powerful Of
fee the presidency is.
Republicans simply do not care to
turn down the president. .-s~. III
"Courtesy" will prevent such catas-
trophe. If not courtesy, patronage; if
not patronage, then fear of a party cata-
clysm. The fact is, the republican kick
ers are between the devil and the deep
blue sea, and they know it.
Among the leaders there are two fac
tions, those who believe in war and re-
venge for the Maine,. aad those, who be-
lieve that the Maine question can be set
tied without war. The latter don't care
very much about Cuba. Men like Hen
derson of Iowa, who is one of the big
four IN the house, are suspicious of the
whole Cuban business. As Colonel Hen
derson explained 1t, the men who want
the independence Of Cuba will want an
nexation next. D
Cuban bonds now sell at cents.
With independence they become na-
tional debt; with annexation they be-
come mortgage guaranteed by the
United States.
1t is progressive step from Scent
wildcat bonds to- mortgage worth a
premium. This is an extreme anti
Cuban view.
Senator Davis, who is near the presi-
dent, said that he was satisfied. When
asked to define his position, he said: "It
would not be proper for me to do so in
my position; to discuss this question
would be both d1scourteous to the presi-
dent and 1mpolitic."
care you satisfied that there was suf-
ficient cause to justify the president in
withholding his messagefrom congress?'
Senator Davis was asked.
"Entirely so," was the reply, and this
was all the chairman on foreign relations
would say on the subject.
The reports that the negotiations have
been reopened by Spain are not credited
anywhere. Correspondence has ceased,
though the avenues are open to Spain.
The resolution that will be reported
to congress will, it is said, follow the
lines of the declaration of war against
Great Britain in 1912.
There is great difference of feelin g
here regarding the state of the army and
navy. The country may feel assured
now that preparations for wiping out
Spain as a naval power are complete.
All of the squadron commanders have
their orders where and when to pounce
on Spanish possessions.

Gen. Blanco pretends that the queen
regent of Spain has offered 70 sell Cuba
to Russia, end the war, and abandon the
island.
Twolmore cruisers and six battalions
of troops, each thousand strong, have
left Spain for Cuba.
McKinley's message makes clear that
he has never at any time demanded of
Spain the evacuation of Cuba.
The queen regent has commanded
General Blanco to proclaim an armistice
without conditions. The Spanish min
