BILL ARP'S LETTER.
Bill Says He Can't Fool His Wife.
-4ttdntd Constitution.

Mr.. Lincoln said, "You may fool
some of the people all the timc-you
may fool all of the people some of the
time, but you can't fool all the people
all the time" That's so, reckon, but
] will add that man can't fool his
wife at all. She catches up with him
by instinct. My wife has been away to
Rome and so took advantage Of her
absence and had two trees cut down.
One was dying at the top and the other
was crOwding two other trees and
doing no good. But she is utterly hos
tile to cutting down tree and so
have 10 do il while che is away. One
OF them was cut down low to the ground
and after every chip and twig was
cleared UP had grass put over the
place where the tree was. was going
to do the other the same way but got
sick and she camo home prcmaturely
and there was the stump grinning with
Its fresh cut edges. was getting bet
ter, but when saw her coming took
n horizontal attitude on the couch and
tried to look sick and sad and melan-
choly. 1t was too days before she no
ticed that stump and when she called
my attention to it told her that it was
an old stump and had been there for
years. She never said anything, but
there was doubtful expression on her
tranquil countenance. If there were
no grandchildren around here l could
get along, but they let the cat out of
the bag every time and am the vic
tim. 81 don't remember ever seeing
that stump before" said she, but per-
suaded her that the late rains had
cOlOred it. When she found me out,
assured her that the tree was hollow
and was bound to die soon and that it's
proximity to the other trees prevented
their expansion and that expansion
was now the policy of the country.
eyes," said she, 81 suppose we must
cut down the smaller trees so that the
larger ones can have more room. We
must kill off the Filipinos for the same
reason. / wonder how many of the
poor creatures they have killed. If
our people kill black brute down
here, they make an awful fuss about
it, but they arc killing thousands be-
cause they are defending their native
land. 1t is all very strange to me-"
l don't like some of orr governors
late utterances. The daily paper prints
in big lines that he said the man or
men who lynched negro were as guilty
in the sight of God as the negro they
lynched. Surely he didn't say that.
The reporter must have misquoted him
again. 1t does not sound like him.
There is no such theology in the books.

Moses had to provide cities of refuge
for those who accidentally killed any
body, lest the avengers of blood should
pursue and overtakc and slay them.
The avengers of blood were recognized
factors in the administration of the
law. What would have been the pun
ishment of these black brutes in
Moses's time for their outrages we can
not imagine, for with the Jews no such
crimes were known, and to this day no
such criIno is known among them. AS
race they are the purcst people in
their domestic relations. Husbands
are loyal and true and kind to their
wives and wives to their husbands:
children are Obedicnt to their parents
! and aftectiOnatc to one another. But
here among lis are Il numerous people
who seem utterly devoid of those
family virtues tl,at are tic safeguards
! OF all good government. Within the
last thirty years they have grown from
childhood to manhood and have be-
come infinitely worse than their fathers
and mothers were while in slavery.
around this city than those born in
wedlock. They arc not mulattocs, but
they are negroes Of full blood. The
moral dcgeneracy Of the race is alarm
ing. The State convicts and County
convicts now aggregate over four
thousand, and MI of them have come
to maturity since the close of the civil
war. The morals of these negroes gets
worse and worse and their outraScs
upon white women more frequent and
more brutal. Our people are shocked
and whisper to one another, who will
be the next victim. When the savage
Indians burned the homes and toma-
hawked the women and children our
forefathers pursued them by day and
by night and had their revenge. We
have people among us many Of whom
are worse than savages, and every man
among us who is loyal to his wife or
mother or sister or daughter is an
avenger of blood and should dnever stop
until tho brute is caught and slain.
For such there are no cities of refuge
and no horns of the altar for him to lay
hold Of. This is one crime that makes
man an outlaw and the people hnyc
no more fear of provoking the venge-
ance Of God than did Governor Gambler
when he was leading his brave men
against the enemy and crying at the

He never thought of giving them q trial
by jury nor of being guilty of murder.
Let governors proclaim in their per-
functOry fashion-let preachers and

RIGHT ACTION.

The commission knew the amount of the appropriation, and should not in their plans have gone beyond the amount of the original appropriation The further distribution of this report is not necessity, and there are many objects more worthy of appropriation which have to wait because the State of Connecticut cannot afford the expense. It is time that commissions were taught that it is their duty to keep their eX- penses within the limits of the original appropriation. I herewith return the proposed resolution for your further consideration.
 So wrote Governor Lounsbury to the General Assembly concerning house joint resolution No PAT, making an ap- propriation for the purpose of complet- ing and distributing the report of the Connecticut Board of Worlds Fair Managers. And he wrote just right. More power to him in the same line.

FASHION NOTES.
Fashioned Like the Lily.

When women were saying so many horrid things about overdresses and were declaring that they simply wouldn't wear them, it was because they had in mind the humpy draped things discarded for awkwardness some time ago. But few can find fault with the close and smooth long affairs that fit as prettily as does the calyx to the flower. Indeed, the calyX seems to have served for the model of many of the later skirts, the flaring train that escapes from the overdress being almost as graceful in outline as the lily. Some classify it as feather duster, but the
 lily idea is kinder and quite as apt.

4 GOOD EXAMPLE.

Last evening Richard Mansfield
 played "Cyrano de Bergerac" at the Hyperion before an audience which has
 perhaps not been exceeded in number ] and quality since Patti sang here. As
 usual some of those who demand that
 an actor shall also be a speechmaker
 were on hand and at the end of the second act their clamor rose and re-
 sounded. MT. Mansfield came before | the curtain four or five times and bowed
 low in acknowledgment of the applause,
 but did not incongruously and inartis- | tically snatch himself out of the char
 acter he was portraying and make a | speech. But representative of his did come before the curtain and make a 1 speech, It was a good one and very much to the point. It was: MT. Mans field deeply regrets that he cannot drop the character of .Cyrano de Bergerac and thank you for the generous ap- plause which he so much appreciates"
 This quelled the somewhat unreasona- ble tumult, and the audience did not have it's pleasure lessened by the de- struction of the spell which MT. Mans fields art had cast upon it.
 In not making speeches to the audi ence while he is "Cyrano de Bergerac' MT. Mansfield is true to his art and sets a good example. It is an example that should be initiated by all actors who are serious and who wish to make and maintain the deepest and most satis- flying impression. Few great actors can make good speeches. But those who can and those who cannot make large mistake when they reveal themselves to an audience in the middle of a play and destroy the illusion they have ere ated.

WILL TRY TO PAY THE FIDDLER.

l WILL TRY TO PAY THE FIDDLER Although cast down Spain isn't hope l less and she is going to make well planned effort to get her finances into | better shape The total expenses of the recent colonial campaigns, in Cuba and the Philippines, the war with the United States and the return of Span- ish troops to their homes, are estimated
 at $500, ,0OO 900, about half of which sum is due to the Bank of Spain for it's re- peated advances to the treasury. All
 these liabilities it is proposed to consol-
 idate into one debt with the result of
 adding about $25,000,000 to the annual
 interest charge. As this charge In 1898
 was over s9S,OOO, 900, spains burden af-
 ter the addition just mentioned will be
 a formidable one.
 To balance revenue and expenditure,
 it is proposed to reduce expenses by
 rigid economies and to impose new tax
 es In 1S96-7 the total expenditure
 was $151, 100000. This sum. increased
 by the $25, ,OOO, 900 of new interest on the
 war debt and diminished by economies,
 represents what Spain will need an-
 nually Repudiation of part of the in-
 terest charge is proposed in some quar-
 ters, but this is said to be vigorously
 opposed by most Spanish statesmen. Nine-tenths of the Spanish debt is own. ed it is said, in Spain itself, so that powerful influences will be exerted to prevent "readjustment." It is not un- likely, however, that a tax of 70 per cent. will be imposed on income deriv- ed from Spanish bonds held at home, and that like proportion will be de- bonds held abroad. French holders ar gue that Spain cannot to her profit thus tax, in effect, foreign holders of her se- curities, but the Spanish press is unan- imous in opposing discrimination in fa- vor of the foreigner.
 The financial capabilities of Spain have been studied carefully by M. The ny, who was sent last February by the French government to report on the entire situation. Besides holding large amounts of Spanish bonds, French cit izens have large interests in spanish railroads and commercial undertak- ings. The result of M. Thery's inoui- ries-which have been very thorough is the conclusion that Spain's economic and financial condition is much better than foreigners generally suppose it to be- As quoted by the correspondent of the London Times, M. Thery thinks Spain can perfectly well meet all her engagements, and holds that the rev. enue necessary for this purpose can be raised by an increase of taxation, which, if properly distributed, will not be injurious to commerce or overbur- densome to the people" The measures actually contemplated by the ministry are said to be as follows: The suspen- cial position is re-esta blished; an in- creased tax on tobacco alcohol and oth-
