to be expected when the regular :. .ork Of
the old cortes has been concluded.
In other quarters 1t Is believed that the
conservatives will attempt to regain con-
troll Of the government by making a cam
paign against the Cuban policy Of the Sa-
gasta regime. 1t is expected that the Wey-
lerists will either cast their influence with
the conservatives. who sent Gen. Weyler
to Havana, or else make their appearance
as a distinct political organization. repre-
sentative of the army and martial spirit.
To considerable extent the contest will
be between the war element and the peace
element, and, as the liberal program las
thus far been most pacific In character, 1t
is anticipated that the liberals will gain
the peace vote. which may be sum GENTLY
strong to overcome the various radical Gle
ments.
The Coming Elections.
The election will be held not only in
Spain, but also IN Cuba and Puerto Rico.
1t should not be confounded however, with
the local elections of Cuba under the plan
Of autonomy. The former election will be
confined entirely to the choice Of delegates
to the imperial parliament, and will not be
a part of the autonomous plan for local
government Of Cuba. The arrangements for
The time for them will be fixed by the au
tonomous cabinet. 1t would be no surprise
to officials here if these local elections
were held at any time in the near future,
as it is said the Cuban autonomists are rap
idly maturing the details of elections, and
other steps requisite to the execution of
the autonomous plan. In the elections of
April 25 Cuba will select it's usual quota
to the Spanish cortes under the same sys-
tenn of suffrage that has long prevailed.
The new cortes will meet Immediately af-
ter the election, probably May 1. While no
date has been fixed, it is known that the
new body must assemble in order to pass
on the budget, which by law must be COM
pleted by July 1. This will give brief time
for completing the extensive supply bills
within the time prescribed by Spanish law.
With liberal majority, however, this can
be readily accomplished. The possibilities
of delay lie in the fact that conservative
victory will not only give that party con-
troll of the cortes, but will precipitate an
other ministerial change, with it's conse-
quent changes of policies.

A good plan for any one in fair health
Is 10 form the habit every morning OF
dashing cold water on the throat and
chest. This is most conveniently done
while taking the morning bath. before
beginning TO dress IT certainly tends
to strengthen the throay and lungs, and
is a preventive against taking cold

not do for any one with a severe cold or

to be followed by vigorous rubbing with
a coarse Turkish towel. Rub your throat
and chest until they are bright pink, and
then hurry into your merinos. This ought
to give a healthy glow and help TO create

With a good circulation of the blood
