Destruction of the Maine.

The special dispatch which We print
 ed yesterday from Kansas City. apropos
 of the suicide of Lieutenant Morris Of
 the United States cruiser Olympia, calls attention to a circumstance which bids
 fair to be forgotten, and to in this way lead to a distortion of history. Iieuten-
 ant Morris was electrician of the bat tleship Maine at the time she was de- stroyed by an explosion in Havana har- bor. He is said to have given it as his
 opinion, to his relatives and friends at Kansas City. that this awful catastro- phe was due not to Spanish mines or tOrpedoes, but to a short Circuiting of the electric system on the battleship. Our government, with possible wisdom. has been exceedingly reluctant about making what would be termed an inn partial investigation into this catas- trCphe. At the time it occurred the great ma jority of the American people 1 believed that it was due to prcmedi- tdtcd action on the part of the Span ish military authorities at Havana. This belief had, perhaps. more than anything else to do with the forcible demand for intervention in Cuba and to the breaking out of our war with Spain. The feeling expressed itself in the cry, Remember the Maine," with which our sailors fought their naval conflicts. To discredit this belief would
 have been considered by some of those chiefly responsible for cur government policy an exceedingly inexpedient thing
 to do. War was wanted, and this incl dent came as a most fortunate circum-
 stance to urge it forward.-Bostoa Herald.

Sickness steals more savings than the burglax Slowly, coin by coin, the money that has been so hardly earned Is paid out for drugs and doctors. Sickness IS the worst enemy of the work ing man, and the common cause of the working mans sickness is disease of the stomach often involving the heart, lungs, liver, or kidneys.

Mexico and Silver.

Presldent Dlaz annual message of this year, transmitted to the Mexican congress on the 21st inst. expresses for the first time in an official form the doubt of the Mexican government as to the wisdom of adhering to the silver standard. Heretofore, all statements emanating from official sources have indicated a fixed purpose to make no change in the monetary standard cf the republic. As quoted by the dispatches, MT. Diaz said:
 "The fate of silver is to us an ardu- ous problem, and the executive feels obliged to maintain q waiting attitude. With silver we meet about One-half of what the country is compelled to remit abroad. Notwithstanding our substan- tiaI production of silver it would be rash for the republic alone to attempt to regulate the world't output and in that way to bring about stability in it's price.
 The executive has endeavored to en- courage and strengthen the activity of our industries for export purposes, in asmuch as that movement will tend to bring about stability, if only relative, in the value of our money as compared with the money of the nations with whom we are most closely allied"
 Although worded with careful con- servatism, this statement of the MeXi- can executive. at once arrested general attention, for it was telegraphed to all countries The London Statist, one of the leading financial papers of England. was prompt to suggest that it would be wise for Mexico to consider carefully before abandoning the silver standard, and this is likely to be the view of the financial world. In Mexico Diaz is, of course. the government. Congress does his will. and his recommendations to that body are merely a perfunctory compliance with the forms of the con- stitution. The venerable statesman ap- pears to have acted with his usual sa- gacity in proposing to adopt a waiting attitude in reference to a change of standards. It is. naturally, very tempt ing to the people of Mexico to give fla vorable consideration to the gold stan dard proposition. after observing dur ing the last few years the marvellous prosperity of the United States wrought by a sound financial system based on gold, but there are many req sons peculiar to Mexico for staying by their silver standard. There is no labor question in that country, nor is there likely to be for a long time to come-that is to say, the laboring classes are without ambition, are' con tented with small wages and the bet terment of their condition is not a pressing problem with the Mexican government. So long as a low scale of wages is satisfactory to everybody, the silver standard works to the benefit of the country, in that all materials and products exported are purchased on a silver basis and sold abroad for gold. For agricuIturists and manufacturers, and all employers of cheap labor. this

The commission appointed by the governor of Ohio to select sites for the monuments to be erected in memory of those of that state who fell at Antietem has completed it's work. and the result is some interesting data concerning the part taken by the late President Me Kinley on that battle ground. The commission was enabled to locate the exact spot on which young Mckinley, then commissary sergeant in the Twenty third Ohio, served coffee ahd rations to his companies on the firing line. The state. besides providing monuments for the regular Ohio sol diery, has directed that a monument to the memory of the. fate president be erected on the field and 1t was neces- sary to purchase the site just described. The commission found it necessary to place more than half it's monuments on private land and. as in the case of the Mckinley memorial, land was bought. 1t is in a particularly wild section of the famous locality. The monuments Of the Fifth. Seventh and SiXty-fifth Ohio volunteers must be placed on land to be acquired by the commonwealth

system is more truly protective than a high tariff.
 Consideration of these facts will lead the statesmen of Mexico to go slowly in changing from silver to gold. And it may be added in passing, that prob ably it has been the inability of Mir. zGna and elsewhere to comprehend the difference in economic conditions be- tween Mexico and the United States which has enabled them seriously to advocate policy which would place
 the workingmen of this country on d level with the peons Of Mexico.

The Senate

The terms of thirty United States senators expire on March 3 next. It is natural that much interest should be i felt in the probable outcome of con- sequent senatorial elections. Both the | New York Tribune, republican, and the Louisville COurier-Journal. democratic, | have made estimates and their Conclu- siCus are so little apart that it is safe
 to assume that the existing republican
 majority of nearly twenty members ] will be maintained. Ohio has already elected Foraker to succeed himself; ! Kentucky has chosen McCreary, demo- crat. to succeed Deboe, republican; 1 Maryland has chosen German. demo- crat to succeed Wellington. republican; in Iowa Allison succeeds himself; Me Emery succeeds himself in Louisiana; South Carolina elects Latimer, Tillmaa democrat, to succeed McLaurin, who voted with the republicans on some measures. In these first elections the democrats have made some gains. They will also gain a senator in North Caro- lima to succeed Pritchard. republicans: may have Newlands in Nevada to sue ceed Jones. who was latterly a repub-
 lican; and stand a chance to get some
 thing in Delaware, which has twice had a republican legislature, which as q result of the persistent forcing of Ad-
 dicks upon the party. has failed to elect republican.
 Four democratic states, Alabama,
 Arkansas, Florida and Georgia. will
 return democrats without contest, and
 Missouri will in all probability send q democrat to succeed Senator Vest. On the republican side California, Con necticut, Indiana, New Hampshire, New York. North Dakota, South Da-
 kOta, Oregon, Vermont and Wisconsin will return republicans. Michigan wiI! without any doubt send a republican
 to succeed Senator McAIillan. The five
 states that remain are Colorado. Idaho. Kansas, Utah and Washington. In
 Kansas and Washington the republi- cans expect to replace democratic sen ators with republicans. Senator Teller
 may go back from Colorado, but 1 Wolcott has a fighting chance. In Utah and Idaho the republicans are very likely to win. If the republi- cans should get the two senators from Delaware, to which they are entitled -one seat has been vacant four years the balance between the parties would not be materially changed. It is true the democrats do not concede such states as Kansas, Idaho, Utah 0r Washington. But all reports indicate republican success.
 As the senate is now there are fifty three republicans, thirty-two demo- crats, two members of doubtful politi- cal affiliations and three seats vacant No possible outcome of this years cleo tions can reduce the republican major ! ity very materially.
