The Spanish SPONSORS.

From the New York JournaID
Is 1T not an odd thought that the two
pillars of Spanish hope, the two advoCa tes
and abettors Jf Spanish tyranny in the halls
or American legislation, should be Hale OF
Maine, in the Senate, and Reed, of Maine.
in the House? And the greater OF these is
Reed. THIS partnership in Spanish interest
on the part OF Hale and Reed shines even
more oddly, and as something beyond mere
coincidence, wien we remember that Hale
and Reed, separated for eighteen wears bv
tie old Blaine feud, and wont 70 say the
truest and therefore the most vicious things
about each other, made warmly up three
years ago, shook hands and were friends.
Was their attorneyships Of Spanish interest
and their Joint desire TO prevent Cuban
Independence the sudden, happy seed of
this reconciliation? 1 know of nothing be-
sides They were hounds OF the same Span
ish pack, pursuing the same Cuba deer and
doubtless deemed it doggish wisdom to
forego their kennel quarrcls until they had
run down their quarry.

Inspiration it might be work in vain He is
subtle enough, cunning enough, to keep his

SO furtive. l have witnessed at least a
partof his Spanish rea son smile on him from

Reed is not SO easy to track. His Spa nisli
anXieties walk in the water and leave no
trail.

Perhaps /, VIII be proper for us to ask
the Administration why it should waste its
time over tile preparation OF a reciprocity
treaty with Spain, directly aimed at pro-
riding arrangements for our future COM
inerce WITH Cuba, when Mr.. McKinley knows
that the American people have decided that
Spain is not To remain In Cuba? The proper
authority with which to negotiate such a
convention cr treaty is the government Of

risies and suoterfuges are growing monoton-

The Case of Senator Lindsay.


Both houses of the Kentucky legisla-
ture have asked Senator Lindsay to re-
sign, on the ground that he misrepre-
sents the Democratic party of the
State. That he has misrepresented it
in the past is painfully apparent, but
his action in supporting and voting for
the Teller resolution may placate his
constituents. The Kentucky movement
is a very useful thing in this, that it
affords another object lesson on the
subject of party fealty; that it gives a
fresh illustration of the fact that pub
lie men who do not stand on and by the
Chicago platform. and every plank of
ii, will not be tolerated in the Demo-
cratic party.
There are many things about Sena-
ter Lindsay productive of personal re-
spect and admiration. So there were
of his once distinguished predecessor.
But no amount of personal considera-
ion ever will be sufficient to
make great national party OF
the people oblivious TO treason
against its basic principles and
its very existence. From Demo-
cratic standpoint, where is the once
venerated John G. Carlisle to-day? AS
politically dead as Hector or Grover
Cleveland! We are sorry that Mr.. Lind
say has done things to place him in
the same category. We are glad to
have seen recent signs of penitence.
but we fear that they have come too
late. There is a cold. Klondike outside

ECHOES FROM ABROAD.

Pastor Stoecker, formerly a court
chaplain, fearing possibly that people
| might forget his existence, has select
ed just this moment when wave of
anti-Semitism seems TO be sweeping
over Europe, to recommence his former
crusade against the Jews by an accu-
sation of horrible character which,
while ii may be scoffed at by intelli-
gent people, is certain to influence the
masses in Germany.
1t may be remembered that in times
gone by the favorite method of aTous-
ing the ire of the pOpulace against the
Hebrews was by accusing them of MUIR
dering q young Christian boy or girl
for ritual and sacrificial purposes. Time
and again have the Jewish quarters of
the various cities and towns of Europe
been sacked and the inhabitants put to
the sword in consequence of charges
of this character, and although not
merely Jew, but even eminent Christian
scientists and theologians vouched in
the most solemn manner for the fact
that there was nothing in the ritual of
the Jewish church that demanded the
shedding of human blood, yet the
masses have always remained firmly
convinced that synagogues We're the
scenes of innumerable murders of
Christian. children.
Pastor Stoecker has now by means of
his newspaper, the Volk, renewed this
old time charge, and declares that
quite recently murder of this kind
has taken place at the important man
ufacturing town of Issum, in the Rhine
province, along the railroad which runs
from Cologne to Minden. He insists
that a young Christian boy has been
slaughtered by the Jews there for sac
rificial purposes, and inasmuch as the
lad, who is fourteen years of age, hap
pens to have vanished, of course the
people have taken up the pastors cue,
and are accusing the Jews of having
killed him.
The movement thus engendered is
spreading throughout the entire prov
ince, which has hitherto been one of
the most prosperous centers of industry
in Germany, and special orders have
been sent from here to the general
commanding the army corps at Cologne
to take steps for the preservation of
the lives and property of the Jews, who
are exceedingly numerous and weli-to-
do in the district.
It is unpleasant to have to relate
that much of the anti-Semitism in
Germany originated in the salons of
the wife of Field Marshal Count Wal
dersee. 1t was due to her influence
that Pastor Stoecker was appointed
court chaplain by old Emperor Will
liam. 1t was she who induced him to
get himself elected first of all as a
member of the Prussian Diet, and then
as a member Of the Reichstag upon
platforms that were essentially anti

CAPffoI GOSSIP.


MI King, of Utah, yesterday in the
House showed his appreciation of the
greatness of Senatur Marcus A. Hanna
1t was during the, consideration of the
District appropriation bill by the Com
mittee of the Wh8le. AS soon as the
opportunity was afforded him, Mr..
King said, referring to the bill:
do not see any appropriation or
provision made insthe bill for the i'm
!! grounds lSflI
That will besprovided for in the
sundry civil bill.' explained Mr.. Pit
ney, of New Jersey
With all the seriousness he could
command, Mr. King continued grave
~: When We consider the fact that
that eminent, patriotic and divine
statesman, Mark A. Hanna, has taken
up his residence at the White House
we should enlarge and embellish it to
make suitable domicile for him. You
all know that all of the offices of the
Government are not filed, and if Mr..
Hanna is to live there TO assist in fill
ing them the building should be put
into a fit condition for the eminent
statesman
Are you speaking in a Pickwickian
sense?' inquired Mr. Northway, of
Ohio.
Il have no doubt" continued Mr.
King, that my friend from Ohio feels
the necessity of having these offices
filed. and the 'rascals turned OUT foi
it will soon be time for him to go be-
fore his constituents and say, See
what we have done? and to point to
the offices his distinguished Senator
from Ohio has filed. When we consid-
er all these facts it seems to me that
the gentleman of Importance that /
have referred to should be properly
cared for, and for that reason 1 offer
as an amendment to the item that $780,
600 be appropriated TO improve the

abode for Mr.. Marcus A. Hanna"

manifest duty, which is to expel Spain
from this side Of the world.
We know the strength of the infiu-
ences which Spain has been able to ar
ray in both Houses of Congress. They
are peculiar, mortifying to American
sense of decency, and corrupt or i'm
moral. 1t is not the present purpose to
describe them, although that may be-
come necessary in the public interest,
and if the necessity should arise, some
unpleasant personal things might have
to be said, But we believe this; That
there are friends of liberty in the Sen
ate, and enough of them, in case they
so elect, to compel the Administration
to wipe off from our escutcheon the
foul and bloody blot of our past Span
anew to the cause which their revolu-
tionary forefathers fought, bled and
died for.
1t is possible for the friends of Cuba
in the Senate to put a veto upon legis-
lation of any kind, upon the diplomatic
and consular appropriation bill, and
upon everything else, until this thing
shall be done. We might just as well
raise the issue. 1t Will have to be
made. The Administration is not to
