The patriotic women of some of the
Northern cities are talking about taking
steps to the end of making France aware
of their displeasure in the event that she
persists in her friendly attitude towards
Spain as against the United States. They
declare that in the event of France doing
anything prejudicial to the interests Of
the United States in the war, they will
quit buying French millinery. dresses
silks, CONNECTIONS. and other French arti-
Giles which are so popular with woman
kind. This would involve a loss of trade
to France approximating $5O,OOO.OOO a
year. Then there are French wines. cor
dials and table delicacies which would also
come under the ban. and which would
swell the total of trade lost by a good
many more millions of dollars. France
therefore, is In a rather uncomfortable
position. Her people own millions and mill
ions Of dollars worth of Spanish bonds
which viii be greatly deprecated Nv
SPANS losing the fight; yet if She takes
action calculated to conserve the value Of
the bonds, the American women say thew

United States and Germany.
From the Philadelphia Ledger Qnd.).

Germany may be neutral as between the
United States and Spain, but she keeps up
her warfare on American meats. The Prus-
sian Diet is now considering measure TO
exclude them from that state, and it is re-
ported that a bill to the same effect win be
prepared by the Imperial government and
pressed through the Reichstag before its
adjournment. This is due to the influence
of the Agrarian party, which is the equiv
alent of the American populists in good
sense and patriotism, and must be consid-
cred as strictly German political scheme
gotten up without much regard to its in
ternational effect

The feeling of unrest which has made
its appearance in Madrid and other cities
OF Spain. is of so violent a character that
martial law has been proclaimed. That
there is great dissatisfaction with the
monarchy there is no doubt, aud that. this
dissatisfaction may assume the form of a
revolution is not improbable. Actual or
threatened violence at home may have the
effect of making the Spanish government
see the necessity for bringing the war with
the United States to a speedy end.
One Of the reasons why the Spanish gov
eminent accepted war with the United
States was that it thought that war would
unite the people in support of the mons
archy. That would have been the effect
probably if Spain had been victorious In
the first engagement. but having suffered
a defeat there is more dissatisfaction with
the government probably than there would
have been if Spain had complied with the
demand of the United States to get out
of Cuba.
In some of the speculative papers the
thought has been thrown out that in the
event of revolution in Spain republic
will be established there, and that Cuba
would not be averse to becoming a part
of such republic. There is very little
probability of SPANS becoming a republic.
In the first place the Spanish people have
no understanding nor appreciation of re-
publican institutions and, hence, couldn't
maintain republic. They have tried TO
do so and failed. In the second place, the
Powers of Europe don't want a repubIi-
can government in Spain, and Spain isn't
strong enough to have her own way about
the matter. As for the Cubans, it is not
probable that they would care to cast their
fortunes with Spain after once getting free
from her. They would much prefer trv-
ing government of their own
Whether or not they could maintain re-
publican form of government is question
about which there is a great difference Of
opinion II looks, however, as if thew
were going TO be given a chance to try it.

Some time ago Sam Jones declared,
ATLANTA is rotten" The Rev Mr.. Ward,
of the Sixth Baptist Church of Atlanta,
took up the cudgel in the city's defense in
sermon the other day, and dealt Mr..
Jones a sound whack. Mr.. Ward assert
ed that Atlanta was in no such condi-
ton as the evangelist said; that, on the
other hand, while there were some bad
places in Atlanta, the city was one in
which there were many thousands of
God-fearing and God-serving persons, who
were constantly striving to live upright
lives, and lift up others. The city, there
fore, did not deserve the characterize
ton given it by Mr.. Jones. Mr.. Ward
continued: "Of course Sam Jones Will
ring in his old chestnut of a flee bark
ing at the MOON but I say that when
Sam Jones declares to the world that At
lanta is rotten. he is like an old NANCY
hound dog that sits on his launches and
banks up the wrong tree. He is simply
lying"

AS a simple business proposition we can
better afford to suspend politics and to
dispense with The labors of many of our
politicians than we can afford to curtan
agriculuress industry, or any of the mate
rial avocations 1t IS not forgotten that
the loss of many brilliant lives might re-
SUIT. and it is admitted that tears would
duly flow for these just as for others who
fall in defense of the country. but for
every politician a war kills, war produces
a dozen more while every time. a farmer
or mechanic is lost the loss is permanent
Let the politicians so in the ranks and
may every one who goes win fame and
honor and compel public gratitude by he
rolca devotion to duty and substantial
achievement on thunderous fields of bat
tie.

Our dispatches yesterday stated that In
European capitals it was not thought that
Spain would regard the destruction of her
fleet at Manila as a sufficient reason why
she should bring the war with the United
States to an end by complying with the
latter's demand for the abandonment of
Cuba. The opinion was also expressed that
if Spain's Atlantic squadron met with
defeat she would then consider the advisa-
pility of giving up Cuba. 1t seems that the
Spanish government believes that its first
class ships are invincible Judging from
what occurred at Manila the Atlantic feet
of the Spaniards hasn't any better chance
for winning a victory than had their fleet
at Manila. It is true that their ships in
the Atlantic squadron are Of a higher class,
but they will have to contend against war;
ships very much superior to those of the
American fleet al Manila.
Those who are familiar with both Ameri-
can and Spanish warships say that the
Spaniards are not at all proficient in the
handling of their ships-that they haven't
first-class gunners and that they don't
best advantage an a fight Assuming that
these statements are true, defeat awaits
the Spanish fleet in the Atlantic, however
brave and obedient to orders the Spanish
sailors may be.
Does Spain think that two naval defeats
and the loss of two fleets would come near
or satisfying her idea of honor than one
defeat and the loss of one fleet? If Euro
pean opinion concerning her is correct she
does. It would seem, however, as if com
mon sense would dictate that she should
save what she can as long as she can do
so with honor If she continues the war
she win lose all her colonies probably, and
may have a revolution at home that will
overthrow the monarchy.
JAS matter of fact, Cuba is worth little
or nothing TO Spain. The granting of au-
tonomy left Spain with little or no control
of the island, and practically put an end
to her ability to collect unjust and burden
some taxes. BY giving up Cuba therefore,
Spain would lose nothing practically, and
she has INDICATED her honor by the duel
between the fleets at Manila. Therefore the
common sense thing for Spain to do is to
abandon Cuba to the insurgents Will COM
mon sense or pride dictate Spain's policy !?
A day or two will determine.

himself hovel and lived there with his
cats.
Boston sportsmen who visited the place
last summer were allowed to land and look
around a bit.
Several huge cats were lurking on the
shore of the lake dabbling their paws in
the water and gazing down into the depths
with an intent regard Suddenly one of
the eats made terrific plunge into the
water and came drippingly out, bringing
a good-sized trout. The cat went tearing
away to the underground with his prize,
pursued by dozen of the huge felines,
who had been with him at the shore of the
lake. Judging from the uproar in the
bushes, there were at least dozen fights
over the fish ere the question of owner
ship was settled.
The old Frenchman explained that these
fishing animals were the result of the
crossing of the common cats with the
"black cats" or the fisher cats" of the
Maine forest. The latter is a fur-bearing
animal of the marten species, and, in COM
mon with the raccoon, is apparently able
TO WOO with great success any tabbies
who may venture to stroll into the deep
woods.
During all his life Gerrette worked like
a slave for his cats When the Boston
men were there he estima ted that he had
creaslng at the rate of several hundred
year Every day or so he took his old
musket and went out into the woods on
a hunting trip. A few slices of the meat
that he secured on his hunting trips the
cat farmer put away for himself. The
rest he distributed among his cats.
Within the past month the cats have
commenced to flock about the lumber
camps in the vicinity of Moxie pond, and
have appeared particularly hungry and fe-
rocious The woodsmen decided that
something must have happened 10 Ger
rettes camp. SO when Ben Annedy went
down to the settlement after tobacco and
matches he decided to call in at Gerrette's
and see If the old chap was in any trou-
bic As he drew near TO Gerrette's hut ne
called repeatedly to the old man. There
was no answer No smoke came from the
bit of funnel protrudng above the roof.
The door was shut and there were no

The old man lay extended on his browse
bed. He was dead lie had evidently
lain so many days, for the features had
changed.
on the following Sunday Annedy and
three other men came down ia 80 island
from their camp. bringing shovels with
which 20 dig a grave. There was pitch
