and there Is no thought of making it such in the terms of peace. It may be said advisedly, then, that this reported offer, while not altogether dlsadVan- pressye and Is advantageous to Spain"
 In further summing up the situation 1t may be said: Our country offers to Spain $2o,000,000 as balm for her shat tered nerves and boon to her exhaust ed treasury, in return for which Spain must cede to us the whole group of the Philippines. The islands, many claim, are not worth taking as a gift, They have certainly been fearful expense to Spain, In the last two years they cost Spain $40,000,000. This country has nothing to do with what Spain ca Is Ter Philippines debt. If Spain accepts the S20,O00O00 offered, then this country valves all claim for damages against Spain arising since the outbreak of the war with that country. American losses in Cuba far exceed the s23, 100000 offered Spain as a solace for her dis comfiture. A war indemnity of at least $20o, 100000 would be asked of Spain by other nations were they in our shoes in the case. Take, for example, the tranco-German war indemnity and the more recent one which Japan exacted from China. Then ever and above what we are getting from Spain in the shape of islands, claims for $50 900, coo for dam ages in Cuba, public and private, could be equitably demanded. On the whole, the idea is advanced and finds wide approval that Spain is being let off e9sy,-that this nation is acting mag unanimously toward her conquered foe, and setting good, kind and generous example for the rest of the nations. As before remarked. other nations, if in our place, would have taken everything ,An sight, exacted a big indemnity for war claims and offered not a cent to the subdued foe. The United States can afford to be generous to her fallen ad- Versary; and it is far better to be hu- mane and merciful than grasping and 'remorse,ess.

THE TERMS OF PEACE.

Concerning the terms Of peace of- fered Spain, the New York Tribune re- marks: ..One does not look to a vic- tors dictaticn of terms of peace for ex- amples of self-denying generosity. From the point of view of a Tolstoyite this reported offer may seem harsh. An organ of Don Carlos, bidding for the favor of Spanish jingoism, calls it ra- pacious. The average American will doubtless deem it consistent with jus tice and honor. Comparatively speak ing, it is generous and magnanimous

Late every afternoon, dense crowds of people struggle for places in each troll ley car as it arrives at the New York end of the Brooklyn bridge. Not so with a party of fifteen or twenty cool, calm men, who take no part in the wrestle for transportation. They are waiting for trolley parlor car. When it comes along the crowd makes rush, but it's closed gates only open to admit the elect, who drop into soft revolving chairs, and give the strugglers the laugh as they fly onward.

It is understood that after the Philip pines business is settled the United States commissioners at Paris will make the Spanish commissioners cash offer for Kusaie, or Strong's Island one of the Carolines. The island is hilly, healthful, fertile, and has two good harbors. It is wanted by the United States principally as a cable station for the Pacific cable, exclusively under American control, which is soon to be laid, the stretch from Honolulu to Guam being unduly long.

to see the evil complained Of abated If
not altogether done away With
Il have read with interest and pleasure
the several protests which have appeared
In your columns against the use and abuse
of the cruel check-rein for horses. and
wish to add my testimony in a righteous
cause. Every day am panied to see the
patient, willing creatures pass my win
dows, dragging their burdens, with their
heads checked up so tightly as to be
sometimes almost at right angles with
the back, and tossing their heads in the
vain effort TO relieve the strain upon
mouth and neck. while their careless
drivers take no note of the discomfort
plainly set before them.
THE Society for the Prevention of Cru

Der, does good service here, as elsewhere
but apparently Ii has not yet succeeded
in abolishing an abuse which is rooted
in the Ignorance and vanity of man. 1t
seems to me that the worst offenders
are the farmers and country people, who
sin partly from long custom and partly
from ignorance. Often in the case of fine
horses IL is the coachman who insists upon
making his team look grander and more
spirited than that driven by rival coach
men, and even when the master or mis-
tress of such horses is aware of the
abuse, he or she hesitates to interfere
with the autocrat of the stable.
There are doubtless many owners of
fine horses who do not permit the use of
the bearing rein, and are rewarded by
the superior beauty carriage, and power |
Of the animals. Nature, In this, as in all |
cases knows best, and who ID TO combat |
the DEGREES of fashion? Let the numerous |
Societies for the Prevention of Cruelty |

that question. Meantime, perhaps the
people who persist in the use of the OBJ
noXious rein may learn that horse can
not pull when his head is checked up. and
utility may do what mere humanity so
obstinately refuses"
