PARIS FIGARO TALKS.

tween the United States and spain.

Paris, March lO.-The Figaro this
morning makes timely suggestion In
an editorial on the relations OF Spain
and the United States. Referring to
the preparations for defense on both
sides the Figaro says:
Does this mean that war is more
probable today than it was yesterday
or It is less probable?
''As the hour for decisive resolution
approaches the nature of the inevitable
results of a conflict becomes more
clearly impressed upon the minds of
the statesmen of both countries. The
evils which war would bring in its
train. even to the victor, represents n
terrible total. before which the con-
science staggers.
"The attitude OF the governments
in Madrid and In Washington seems
TO prove that the two nations are ami
mated by the common desire of main
tanning peace. Perhaps they are EN-

 The stage setting was nicely ar ranged, there being semi-circle of chairs covered with Navajo rugs fur nished through kindnes of Babbitt brothers. The floor of the stage was also covered with mats.

The execution upon piano of Mr. Frank Doherty showed the work of trained artist. Part II introduced Len Shepardson , and C.

Threat of a war with Spain
has spared Mr.. Dingley the
pain of explaining further that
falling wages in Massachusetts
had nothing to do with the
tariff. It was rather unfor-
tunate because he was under
contract to raise wages whether
or no. The working men we're
not asking him what made
wages fall; they merely wanted
to know what had become of
the better wages that were
promised. And they wanted
to know most of all why they
must stand a cut the same
week a dividend was declared

The postal deficit is troub-
ling the rulers. They propose
to make it pay it's way. We
would like to remind them that
the army costs millions and
does not pay it's way; the rev.
enue from the navy does not
cover the expense; the receipts
of the public schools do not
cover the expense; the money
that is expended on the public
roads is a deficit. How would
it do to cut off these things as
they are a loss? They better
spend money on the postal sys-
tenn than on the army and navy
for they are no good while the
whole people get some good
out of the postal system. But
the rulers do not want the peo-
pie to have information easily.
They are more easily controlled
by keeping them in ignorance.

The "society women" of Chi

do. It would be a national cal
amity if a bad breed of cats
were allowed to propagate. 1t
don't matter about children
but cats are important. Such
women are allowed to live in
idleness and luxury by reason
of interest, rent and profit
which the poor vote for. They
are not only useless but vilely

The politicians in Cleveland,
Ohio, who have the contract of
furnishing food for the outdoor
poor, have been feeding them
the sweepings from the floors
of the restaurants. You see
they did this because there
was more profit in it. There is
nothing like profit to bring out
the genius in men. An inves-
tigation showed that the stuff
furnished for coffee contained
tobacco, burnt matches and
other nice stuff. But the whole
structure will fall if it were not
for profits. Men would no long
er raise food, make clothing,
build houses or do anything
else if it were not for profit!
And the poor who are develop
ing their manhood and woman
hood on such vile stuff uphold
and fight for the system! But
any kind of slop or poison is
good enough for the poor and
helpless, just so the dear good
honest politicians for whom
they vote can make a profit off
it.
