Despite His Protest, Reduced Army
Bill Passed Spanish Senate.
Madrid, July 27.-The discussion of
the army bill in the senate yesterday
led to an exciting scene. General
Weyler, arguing against any reduction
of the strength of the army, warned
the government that the present sit
uation made a revolution highly prob
able, since it had never been so easy
for the army and the people to make
common cause. He himself, he said.
had never thought of heading rising.
but it must be confessed that revolu-
lions sometimes cleared the political
atmosphere and accomplished the work
of regeneration.
Senior Dato, minister of the interior,
replying, severely censured General
Weyler, declaring that a general who,
with 100000 men, had failed to sup
press the Cuban rebellion, had no right
to make such threats, and that any at
tempt at revolution, no matter by
whom, would be proceeded against
with the utmost rigor OF the law.
The senators warmly applauded
Senior Dato's speech.

The opinion rendered by City Counsel
Price. of Newark, that corporations using
the public streets are liable to taxation on
all their property, including the right Of

contested in the courts but, whatever the
result, it has brought the question of equal
taxation squarely before the people of New
Jersey, and the agitation thus commenced

Harpev's Bazaar for the current week
gives some excellent ideas on the preserya-
ton. of cut flowers. Merely putting the
stems into water is apparently not sufficient,
and with a little more care even the most
perishable blossoms may be preserved.
Ali leaves should be removed from the
part of the flower stem that is to lie under
meath the water, says the Bazar, other
wise these sodden leaves decay and make
the water offensive. Every day the flowers
must be carefully lifted from the water,
and an eighth of an inch cut with sharp
scissors from the end of the stem. The
vase must then be emptied, washed out,
and re-filIed with fresh water"

the receipts by $9,703, GIG as against sur

Since January last the price of American
tinplate to consumers has been advanced
from 81 65 per box of 100 pounds to 81 81.
This is an increase of IS per cent.-a ratio
far beyond the legitimate advance due to
the added cost Of raw material and the
augmented wages rate. The squeeze may
be carried still further, since Welsh tin

including cost of ocean freight. The sort

The proposition that the Secretary of
War ought to be good lawyer because of
the legal questions he is required to meet,
entirely ignores the technical military
questions which must be considered con-
stantly II would seem that for the pur-
pose of the War Department, capable
soldier for head, with competent counsel
as an adviser, would be more effective
than lawyer for head with military
adviser Besides, what are the Attorney
General and the Department of Justice

In all the years of Democratic admins
tration of the State Banking Department,
AMI of the courts in Middlesex county says
the Trenton True american. there has never
been such an outrageous pervision of law
and justice as is involved in the Perth
Amboy bank swindles.
1t does not seem possible that the Bank
ing Department could have been deceived
in its examination except by the most
fraudulent and mendacious representations
by the cashier, Valentine.
And it does not seem possible that any
court in New Jersey would ignore these
frauds and minimize the robbery by q
hasty acceptance of plea TO part of the
offence, and the imposition of an utterly
insufficient sentence. Aud yet this has
been done right under the eyes of an adj
ministration which lays every claim to
honesty and effectiveness, without word
OF act in protest of the outrage.

The Republican Revolt.

The general revolt in the Republican
ranks against the peryeision of American
war patriotism into the promotion of the
schemes of an EDglish-American money
clique, has spread to the readers of The
Tribune. That paper has felt compelled
to publish some of their expressions. 10
its Monday issue last week one of its
letters from the. people"-three in number
that day-was singing criticism of the
Mckinley Administration war in the
PhilippiDes-not the Spanish war which
the country declared in its regular legal
way.
One of these letters being from New
Jersey, we will copy it as showing the real
feeling which is shared by thinking men
in the Republican party here in common
with their fellow citizens of other parties
whose patriotism is likewise of the old
school which Washington and Jefferson
founded -

your issue of yesterday you say the re-
nomination of Mr.. Mckinley IS easy, and
ask if his election is equally easy. Allow
me to inform you that his defeat is dead
easy. voted for him once, for which

The Tfibune's only reply to its three
correspondents from different parts Of the

General Alger is one OF the richest men
in Michigan, and Governor Pingree the

The Constitution says that strikes are an
evidence OF prosperity The strike is re-
bellion against unsatisfactory conditions
and unsatisfactory conditions with labor
are low wages. Even a casual reading OF
the daily news reports shows this unsatis-
fscsory condition prevades the whole
country, and includes almost every
industry. Strikes are so seldom successful
that it cannot be seriously commended
that they are an evidence of prosperous
conditions.

The Bulletin estimates that this is about
one fourteenth of all the men under Oils
command, and continuing says =" We
have no means of determining how much
loss has been inflicted upon the Filipinos,
except from General Ot's reports, which
he himself has declared have been too
conservative The latest one, published
few days ago, showed that for one Ameri-
can soldier lost about seyenty-fi7e of the
enemy were slain. The general average of
his reports will show that when our army
has lost one man, it has killed about
twenty-five of the natives.
" If these propositions are correct, the
entire loss on our side which Otis reports
as having taken place since the campaign
began must be equivalent to a loss of
about fifty thousand dead and wounded
Filipinos! At least, that would be the de-
duction to be drawn from Otis bulletins
for home consumption
