SPANS PECULIAR COURSE.

ST Louis GlobeDemocrat.
Spain begins the war with a logged
sort of passivity. 1t calmly abandons
Cuba and its army there to anything
that may happen. An other nation
would be distressed about 10000 of its
soldiers completely cut off from sup
plies. but Spain strikes an attitude of
naughty obstinacy and is not in the
least anxious about the sufferings of its
men. Our whole feet to-day might be
pounding away at the Havana batter
les, yet Madrid views the situation
without the least anxiety. The theme
of interest there is the lofty Spanish
dignity with which the American nlti-
matum was repealed unread. In the

HEROINES LEFT AT HON

HEROINES LEFT AT HOME.
New York Journal.
The heroism which costs the most in
war is the heroism of which the world
hears least. A cynic has said, and
truthfully, that there is nothing so
cheap as physical courage God knows
there is nothing SO dear-so dear in
both senses of the world-as the cour-
age of the mother who gives her son.
the wife who gives her husband or the
young girl who gives her sweetheart
to the nationwide chokes back the
tears as he steps out manfully with his
regiment or ships company and then
fades away into the solemn light of an
empty home to wait and hope and fear.
We have our soldiers monuments and
our sagas to the memory of those brave
in battle, but the war time history
of the heroines of the home is yet to
be written.

SPEAKER REED CAME DOWN.

Speaker Reed has apologiZed to Mr..
Bailey, of Texas, the Democratic
leader on the floor of the House, for
the remarks Of a week ago to-day,
which Mr. Bailey construed to be
personal insult, and the strained rela-
tions between the two men, which have
existed for some time past have given
place to what appears to be mutual
understanding. The process by which
this was arrived at is interesting.
Immediately after the episode of a
week ago Mr.. Bailey put his case in
the lands of Mr.. Cooper, of Texas and
delivered to Mr.. Cooper letter to
the Speaker, in which he demanded to
know if an insult had been intended.
This letter was placed in Mr.. Reed 5
hands, and that gentleman addressed
a reply to Mr. Cooper, disclaiming any
intention of Offering an insult. This
Bailey, and he addressed another
letter to the Speaker, which was de-
livered by Mr.. Sullivan. of Mississippi
who informed the Speaker that an an
swer, addressed to Mr.. Bailey, must be
forthcoming before a certain specified
time. The subsequent proceedings
are thus detailed by a Washington
telegram:
1.-THE speaker made every possible effort
a a. disclaimer lis la but Mr.. Sullivan declared
the proper rule to follow in such .. cases
He suggested to Mr.. Reed the advisaoh-
ity of selecting a friend to act for him
Mr. Reed declared he had no desire for
case. He endeavored in every way TO
avoid Mr. Sullivan but that gentleman
kept so close on his track that escape was
impossible. Finally the speaker, seeing
that every avenue of retreat was cut off,
wrote Mr.. Bailey very polite and almost
affectionate letter, in which he disavowed
in the most emphatic terms any intention
to be offensive in his remarks of last
Monday.
He invited Mr.. Bailey to come to his
room and meet him in friendly confer
ence, declaring that there was no use for
them to resort to Intermediates for the
purpose of effecting a complete under
standing. Before putting MS name TO the
letter Mr. Reed inquired if the CORE
spondence would be made public. Mr.
Sullivan replied that his principal. Mr..
Bailey. reserved the right to publish the
correspondence, but probably would with
hold it from publication unless occasion
should arise for pursuing a different
course.
THE terms of the letter were entirely
satisfactory to Mr.. Bailey He could not
compel an apology from the speaker be-
cause he had started in by asking for a
disclaimer.
Even if Mr.. Reed had offered to apol-
ogize in the House Mr.. Bailey would not
have permitted it. He accepted the
speakers invitation and met him in his
room, where a frank and full understand
ing was arrived at.
Neither of the principals will discuss
the matter and Mr.. Cooper and Mr.. Sulli-
van take the position that their mouths
are sealed 1t may be safely asserted. how
ever. that Mr.. Reed will be a trif1e more
considerate in his trea tment of Mr.. Bailey
hereafter.

REPUBLICAN PROFLIGACY.

Philadelphia Times.
The people of Pennsylvania would BE-

honest and trustworthy Democratic
party and everything to-day points to
more than willingness on their part to
intrust such a Democracy with the
control of the State as a refuge from a
discordant, demoralized and profligate

The more one looks at it the more

greatest sin was not the election of
legislature that was bought like sheep,
but that it elected a legislature that
could be bought by such man as
Mark Hanna. Ohio has produced
statesmen, but she will be known in
history as the State that sank low
enough TO honor a Hanna.

SEASHORE COTTAGES.

Boston Advertiser.
The Advertiser is prepared to state
positively and dogmatically that every
seashore cottage in New England or
farther south along the coast is en-
tirely safe from the danger of bonn
bardment. A Spanish admiral. even
if he could get fleet over to this
part of the Atlantic coast, would not
waste his time and impoverish the
Spanish treasury by firing off $4,000
worth of ammunition in an attempt to
hit $500 cottage on the seashore.
Even Spanish admiral has some re-
gard for the fitness of things.

Spain as country whole, and
