Our Interest in the Spanish Election.

Soon there is to be an election n
Spain. Moreover it is to be one in
which the American people may We'll
take an interest. Upon it may depend
whether, as means of pacifying the
Spanish people, the powers in control
do not declare war upon the United
States.
This election is to place before thu
voters of that country the question
whether the prime minister, Sagasta,
shall have a Legislature friendly To his
policy or one opposed, as AZ present.
one of the most prominent among tn
leading Conservatives declared in .
public speech the other day that
autonomy is a failure and that nothing
remains but to vote for war. even
though it be imposed by Il foreign ma
ton and result in the loss of cuba,
Other Conservatives are not slow in cX-
pressing the opinion that loss of Cuba
under existing circumstances viii re-
suit in the overthrow of the dynasty.
war with the United States would MOI.
1t must be remembered that the LIB
erals would not have come into power,
that Sagasta would not now have the
reins, had it not been for diScord in the
Conservative ranks. What has The
Liberal ministry done that it should Sc
cure more than normal support? A
the Conservatives say autonomy is 4
failure. SO far as the insurgents are
concerned. The latter must receive a
decisive defeat OF be weakened by
other means before the Spanish ma
jority can be made to believe that the
present regime i'm Cuba is an improVe-
ment on Weylerism. They are not in
nuenced by the more humane conduct
of war under the present management.
indeed that is probably regarded lay
many OF them as a weakness, a yield
ing to the demands of the Amercal.

Malme Gossip,
Rabbit Tracks.

ON hill and curve of wooded ground
The SHOWS have fallen down;
The brooks in icy armor bound,
Their planning murmurs drown,
And lhcklN on the creek'S white bed
The rabbit tracks are spread.
a blue jay through the treetops flies,
Blue-etched against the dun;
Above. in gray and slaty skies,
The crows pass one by one;
While where the laSt-month leaves lie
dead
Dim rabbit tracks are spread.
Across the sheeted meadows bare
The wild wind swings apace.
Sings eldritch-like through frosty air,
Dies out and leaves no trace
And where its viewleSs wake has sped
Faint rabbit tracks are spread.
The trees in silent wonder stand
The hickory and oak:
And morning miStS about them band
In garb of purple smoke,
AND thick where woodland paths have
The rabbit tracks are spread.
And all about the tleccy SHOWS,
The orchards and the lanes,
The prickly way of bleak hedge rows,
The bridges ana the drains
Where er the wrath of night has fled
The rabbit tracks are spread.
