ADVISES SPAIN TO YIELD.
Pope Leo Bonding Every Energy to
Prevent War.

London, April 49, The Rome cor
respondent of the News says: "Ac-
cording to news received at the Vatl-
can the queen regent agrees with the
pope as to the necessity of doing every
thing to avoid the risk of war III
which Spain has all to lose and moth
ing to gain. Still it is very difficult to
find formula to allow Spain to re-
nounce sovereignty over Cuba. The
pope has renewed his efforts to con-
vince the Madrid government that 1t
may be painful to abandon the island,
it is not dishonorable. Spain yielding
to superior force, while with war
Cuba would hardly be the only pos
session lost, and if others went also,
internal troubles would be inevitable.
At the Vatican it is asserted that Aus
tria and England have acted on the
same lines, encouraging Spain to sub
NTH to the inevitable and abandon
Cuba"

An English trade journal thus re-
ports concerning the wheat prospects
in continental Europe: Although the
French wheat fields promise we'll, it is
feared they are affected by rankness
and weeds. Austria Hungary is suf-
fering from a plague of field mice and
moles. which is spreading over the vast
plains of the Leytha and Danube. The
news from Russia is satisfactory, SO
far as the Azima wheat of 1898 is con-
cerned; but the threshing of the 1897
crop indicates that the yield is very
small in the provinces which have
hitherto been credited with an average
crop"

No city in the United States surpass-
es Philadelphia in the average 1ntelll-
gence and honesty of its citizens. NO
city in the United States equals Ph1la-
delphia in the rascality of it's govern
ment. Why is it that Philedal-
phia instead of being among the
best governed of American munich
palities, is undeniably the worst?
Why is it that the city which ought
to be a model is an awful example
Philadelphia has a noble company of
political economists, and grand ar
ray of philanthropists who never fail
to take an active part in national af-
fairs. And all the while the looting of
Philadelphia's treasury goes on, brib-
cry and corruption continue, and po-
litical banking robs the widow and the
fatherless.

From a statement made by a Chi
cago paper, and widely copied, it APP
pears that during the last four years
the annual average of murders COM
mitted in the United States has ex-
ceeded ten thousand. In this state
ment all cases of homicide are massed
indiscriminately as murders; but
murder in the legal sense implies de-
liberate malice. 1t is shown that of
the cases reported, ninety-three were
killed by insane persons, two hundred
and twenty-five in defense of life or
property. and forty-six hundred and
thirty-eight were the result OF brawls
or uuarrels, while twenty-six hundred
and fifty-five are set down as OF I'M
known causes. With all deductions or
explanations, the record OF bloodshed
is a national disgrace. and may well
be called alarming; but the force OF
facts is never strengthened by exag-
geration.

In the western hemisphere the
slaughter of birds has been tremen-

annihilated some varieties, and the eff
feet is felt by farmers in some states
in the increase of injurious insects,
which the birds used to eat. The fem

a fearful work, and it is gratifying to
see that the movement to prevent this
Wholesale destruction of birds is large

Bartlett is a good man. We
would much rather see Cooper

as Cooper don't want tho Office

is the candidate from this Sec
ton. Bartlett stands for every
thing that is honorable and
high-toned in politics and has q
clean record, personally and
politically. He is a man thor
oughly respected but lacks per-
sonal magnetism. He neither
attracts strongly nor repels
harshly. He is of a philosoph-
ical turn of mind and is some
thing of an iceberg in the
gubernatorial chair. and it might
not be q bad idea to try one.
Bartlett can be depended upon to
do his utmost to advance the
interest of the great common
people. He believes in the
masses as against the classes.
He wouldn't grow enthusiastic on
any reform, but he could be de-
pended upon 10 gain about as
