WeyIer is willing.

General Weylers dictator speech, de-
livered Saturday in the Spanish chamber
of deputies, may become as great a source
of embarrassment to him did Butler s
speech at a recent dinner in England. Wey-
ler has been regarded in Spain as posi-
bic man on horseback for some time
The affairs of the state are not so favora-
BILE as to preclude the possibility of up
rising. The Carlists are not now beliiger-
ent but Sagasta's health is failing, his re-
tirement from the premiership is expected
and there is no strong man conspicuously
in sight to replace him. Weyler's course IN
Cuba has never been repudiated by the peo-
pie and he represents today the country's
aspirations for renewed power abroad. His
speech, in brief, was a bid for considera-
tion as the man to save the nation in an
emergency. He confessed his inclination to-
ward the military duty rather than the po-
litical in time of stress. Under this phrase
ology can be read only the acknowledge
ment that he would not hesitate to use the
military power should occasion arise Now
that he has been baited into speech he
stands as a marked man and unless he
represents today the dominant force in
Spanish affairs he is likely to suffer in con-
sequence. Adroit enemies of Weyler will
doubtless make the utmost use of his frank
statement of readiness to take the saddle
and put him to the embarrassment of ex-
plantations which will handicap him in bis
maneuyerS to succeed Sagasta

defined. He has not returned to the 1cpub-
lican party, but has declared the sub
ject of the democratic party that the nomi-
nation in 1904 of such a man as David B..
Hill by that party would array the whole
west solidy against it. Mr.. Teller has so
far not been quoted in a way to indicate
where Mr.. Bryans second defeat leaves
him. Silver alone took him to Mr.. Bryan S
side, and if silver is dead, what is to keep
him there longer? He is a protectionist. and
hardly the sort of man to shy at a Spook
like Caesarism.
May We not answer the question as to the
silver republican party by saying that 1t is
no more? These men made it. Their ability
and eminence and aggressiveness gave 1t
whatever of Importance it enjoyed AS the
result of their efforts the Bryan column
was richer by several states when the
votes were counted in 1896. The movement
they inaugurated was local. but within it's
lines a material factor in the fight 1t has
spent it's force, and it's organizers have
parted company. To what extent will this
result weaken Mr. Bryan? Can he hold any
part of the west. now Indispensable to
him. without the assistance of these men?
If not, Mr.. Bryan's cake. like that of free
silver coinage, is dough.

Tomorrow Leon CZolgosZ will die in the
electric chair at Auburn for the murder of
William Mckinley. Every effort has been
exerted to prevent the execution from
stimulating morbid minds. 1t will be wit
messed by very few persons, just enough
to satisfy the demands of the law, and PEE
cautions will be taken to hold the press
accounts down to the bare narration of the
details, without pandering to the demand
for sensationalism. Negotiations are In
progress to forestall any effort to exhibit
the body or any portion of it in public, and
perhaps even to secure its cremation SO
that shortly after the execution nothing
will remain of the wretch to remind the
public of his personality.
1t will be highly desirable if this end can
be accomplished. Czolgoszs crime was of
such a nature as to call for no demonstra-
ton of public rage over the body to en-
phasize the adherence of the nation for
the deed or the peoples Reputation Of the
doctrine in the name of which he slew the
President. Nor is it compatible with the
dignity of the law or the awful nature of
the deed to permit any commercial use of
relics of the execution or the assassin. In
the past there has been too much Of this
sort of thing. 1t is to be feared that harm
has been done to the public mind by os-
tentatious executions and by the after dis
play of reminders of crime.
Tomorrow's execution at Auburn Will
be the last act of a great tragedy. 1t
will not represent the vengeance of the
nation, but the calm application Of law
which stands for the best thought of the
majority of men in their effort to correct
human tendencies toward crime. Czolgosz
will die because it Is the decree of society
that he should pay this penalty for his
deed, and society will guard itself best
against occurrences of this impulse which
has brought him to the electric chair and
plunged a nation into mourning by con-
ducting the execution in comparative Sc
clusion and by obliterating as far as possi-
bic all traces of the assassin.

Tending the trusts He would value the re-
nomination to the presidency coming from
the American people as a whole, but not
from a close ring of wire-pullers We are
convinced that this brusque and straight
forward address is the best way to win the
affections of the great American public,

The idea of making it noble arch at the

be an excellent thing to do, for the design

Milking Cows Continuously.

A friend asks my experience in milk
ing COWS continuously. 1 have some
cows that insist on not going dry. l
like to have them dry about month
before freshening, both for the vigor
of the calf and for the recuperation Of
the cow, says w. f. McSparran in Ma
tional Stockman. But / am not sure
the cow or calf either needs this if the
cow is properly fed, and that is very
difficult thing to come at, SO l prefer
the period Of rest if can persuade the
cow to take it. Whether she milks
better during the lactation after fresh
ening because she rested or not l can't
say. Some we'll informed cow men
say it makes no difference in her peri
cd yield except in the flush after calv
ing, with rest before. It is hard to
estimate. I have never known cows
to do each year alike, so it is impossi-
BILE to tell what the cow might have
done.

Wanted, Sharp Knives.

sT have often wondered where one
could find the sharp knives of the
world" said an observant citizen, ''and
really the problem is one of some seri-
BUSINESS, and one, upon reflection, is al
most driven to the conclusion that
there are no sharp knives in the world
'Have you ever noticed how hard it
is to find a really sharp knife? Stop
the first man you meet and ask him to
let you have his knife for minute and
listen to what he says about it. Nine
times out of ten he will say, I have
one, but it isn't very sharp You may
pick out your men indifferently, and
they will always tell Yep the same
thing. If man should ask me for my
knife to sharpen lead pencil or to use
for some other purpose, the chances
are / would say about the same thing,
L have one. but it isn't very sharp
"And really the answer thus made is
generally true. Men do not keep sharp
knives. 1t may be because they do not
need sharp knives or it may be mat
ter of laziness, but in any event they
do not carry them around with them,
or if they do they always give their
friend a dull one. '-New Orleans

Eomeward, with q jolly ships COM
pany, eager to see wives and sweet

struck by the British steamer Bombay
coming in. The stem of the Bombay
cut off the stern of the Oneida The
ship was sinking rapidly, and guns of
distress were Immediately fired, but
the Bombay steamed on her way and
left the vessel to her doom. She went
down, and all but one or two of her
crew were drowned.
The captain of the Bombay gave no
other reason for his conduct than thai
he had Lady Eyre, the wife of dis
tinguished British satrap, on board and
did not wish to disturb her nerves with
scenes Of shipwreck. He was mobbed
when he reached Yokohama, dismissed
from the service, socially tabooed from
that time on and died in disgrace q
year or two later.
