PALMA HAS CALLED HALT
THINKS REVOLUTIONARY ARMY
CAN AFFORD TO WAIT.
Army List is to Be Revised by Gomez
and .Rodriguez-Later Gov
ernment May Pay

Havana. Aug. 21.-It is doubtful if
amy attempt at present will be made
to float the proposed loan of $35,O00,-
900. President Palma and his cabinet
are strongly opposed TO the reyolu-
tinnary element which has been clam
nring for the payment of the Cuban
army and which saw in this loan the
only means to bring this payment
about. i
This element has been somewhat
,appeased by the movement started to-
day to revise the Cuban army Lists
with the object of taking immediate
steps to pay the soldiers IS soon as
the revision is completed. General
Maxine Gomez, assisted by General
Rodriguez is revising the lists and it
will take from six to- eight months
to complete the task. By the time it
lis completed it lis hoped that the re
public's financial affairs will be in bet
ter shape and that the government
will be able to see its way clear to
raise the funds necessary to pay the
soldiers.
The Church lis Satisfied.
The Cuban government has recog-
.nized the contract made by the Ameri-
can military government with Mon
.signnr Sharretti, formerly bishop of
Havana, in settlement OF. questions OF
the ownership of Church property and
the payment of rentals for buildings
| returned to the church and now occlF
pied by the Cuban government. Un-
der the terms of this contract compen-
sation is at present being made to the
satisfaction of the chunch authorities.
The buildings in question include
the custom house, the university and
the academy Of science.

DEMOCRATIC REVIVAL.

The elections IueSday lndlcate
Democratic revival througOut the
country that is certainly encouraging.
While it was not landslide it shows
that Democratic principles once
more are gaining in favor with the
people. and that by an abandonment
of the wild theories of Bryan and other
Populists who gained temporary con
troll of the Democratic party and so
distorted its national platform that
Democrat of the Jeffersonian school
could not recognize it, and return to
true Democracy and Democratic lead
ership, the party may once more re-
turn to power in the national admins
tration. The Chicago Chronicle makes
the following sensible comment on the
result of the elections:
"The general results Of elections
yesterday indicate decided revival of
WulSA 4AoJ OC eAltl iDuISu
in part to the temperance of Grover
Cleveland and the disappearance OF
William j. Bryan.
almost without exception the DEM
ocrats of the principal states turned
their backs upon Organism this year,
and Mr.. Bryan reciprocated the COM
pliment by making a protracted tour
of the far west. from which he did
not return until the eve of the cleo
ton.
The value of leadership of the
right sort is demonstrated by the re-
suits in many states where the in
fuence of the old Democratic chief
tain was most conspicuously eXerted.
Where the Democrats have been de-
feated the majorities against them are
normal. There has been no tidal
wave. There is no avalanche of dis
favor against which it is practically
impossible to contend in the future.
Both of the great parties will be
the better for this new alignment and
the country itself cannot fail to be the
gamer thereby.
"Whatever the final results of this
election may be in detail, it is mat
ter for universal congraulation that
the people appear to have divided
once more with something approach
ing equality. The time when elections
could be carried by the Republicans
for anybody or anything by majori-
ties of hundreds of thousands is hap
PLY past.
For this deliverance not little
credit is due to the great Democratic
leaders of ante-Populistic times whose
public appearance in this campaign
was at once an assurance to business
genuine Democrats. But for the OBJ.
trusion by so-called Democrats in
many places of socialistic fads palpa
bly, opposed to Democratic doctrine
there cannot be much doubt that the
Republicans would have suffered much
more seriously in the balloting. This
is notably true in New York and Ohio.
"On the whole there is evidence in
the returns of a disposition on the
part of the people to admonish the
Republicans and to extend to the Dem
ocrats measure of confidence which
has been withheld for some years
past.

Mr.. HlNEMoN NOT A "sooNER."

MR.. HlNEMON NOT A "SOONER."
When questioned by a representa-
tive of the Little Rock Democrat con-
cerning the report that State Superln
tendent j. II. Hinemon would be
candidate for governor in 1904, which
became current last week during his
absence from Little Rock, that gentle
man said
Il am not responsible for what my
friends say, and | could not restrain
them if | would, but just now | am
giving careful thought and study to
the status and needs of our school
system and am devoting the best e1-
forts and energies of my life to its de-
velopment and improvement. | be-
lieye that of all the interests of the
state those which pertain to the edu-
cation of her people are most import
ant and during the next two years
shall do all in my power to secure the
Improvement of our country schools,
and the better training of our teach
ing force, effective county supervision,
and a wise and economical use of the
school funds"
The Graphic desires to express It's
approval of Mr.. Hinemon's declination
to become sooner" by announcing
at this early date his candidacy for
the governorship two years from now,
even though it may be his intention
to be candidate. Arkansas has had
too much of sooner" politics already
for the good Of the state and the we'll
fare of the people. One election is
not over before candidates begin to
announce for Offices to which incum-
bents will be elected two years ahead.
1t keeps the state in a constant pollt-
ical turmoil, and every business man
knows that no state can enjoy the
highest state of prosperity while a
campaign is on, and when the cam
paign is a continuous one, the COM
mercial and industrial interests must;
in large measure, suffer continuous
depression. The people don't have time
to think as they should about the
DEVELOPMENT of the states resources,
the increase of its manufacturing in
dustries. and the fullest stimulation
of its commercial affairs, because their
attention is too much diverted from
these very important matters to the in
terest of their sooner" friends who
are candidates for office.
Arkansas has had entirely too much
sooner" politics, and instead of its
decline, it is growing yearly. Gov.
Davis is the worst sooner the state
ever had, and Tom McRae, Judge Boar
land and others do not have the best
interests of the people and the Demo
cratic party at heart or they would
not have so early announced theli
candidacy for state Offices two years
ahead of time. and they would squelcll
their friends who are continuously
announcing their candidacy. 1t is time
for the people to sit down real hard
on the sooner" candidates.
The Graphic thinks Mr. Hinemon
will certainly strengthen his chances
to win the nomination. in the event he

STATE SCHOOL OF MINES.
T Trustees Receive Confessions
Guilty Students and Mete
Out Justice.

l. II
gives the action taken yesterday by
Mines at Golden:
The board of trustees was in session
all the afternoon. and after hearing the
voluntary confession of the students
who We're engaged in the incident in
the assay laboratory January 18th. the
following notice WAS posted ut the
school:
Golden. Colo. Feb 10. 1902.
AT special meeting of the board
of trustees held this day the following
was adopted:
In the matter of the incident of Jan
uary IS, 1902, after hearing the volun-
tary confessions of students. Charles
l.. Frambach. +. A. Hunt. A. w.
Duell. w. o. Chamberlin. Il. G. Coffin
and w. III. Wright of the sophomore
class, and the further statements that
no damage was done with malicious
intent, the board has decided to assess
a fine of $5 upon each of said students,
and the board further places upon rec
ord its decided objection to disOrderly
conduct in any of the buildings of the
school, as such conduct is Subversivc
of discipline and good order and shows
lack of proper appreciation on the part
of the students so involved of the ex
penditures made by the states tax
payers for the benefit of the student
body. The board trusts that the fine
and reprimand herein contained will
be taken as evidence of the boards de-
sire and purpose to exercise through
the faculty of the school the authority
at its disposal to prevent disorder or
the destruction of property in the
buildings Or the premises of the inst-
tuition"
1t now appears that of the seven
students who were suspended by the
faculty until September 1908. only
two were directly responsible for the
laboratory incident. and that one of
these. Carl Julihn. was in no way i'm
plicated and that he was suspended
simply because he refused to implicate
his classmates. He was exonerated by
the trustees. In fixing the damage at
$50 the board reversed the faculty,
which had fined the students $50 for
the damage.
Late this afternoon the board began
taking testimony as TO the alleged un-
fairness of the faculty in its methods
of conducting examinations. The mat
ter of charges for supplies. which the
students claim are furnished to them
at about double their actual cost, will
also be investigated. the trustees nav
ing declared that they will make them
selves acquainted with the minutcst
details of the working of the school.
4 young man who was suspended
for nearly two years on Il charge of
'cribbing" in an examination was one
of the witnesses called this afternoon.
The investigation was behind closed
DOORS but 1t is claimed that the student
was innocent of the charge and that
he was expelled because he would not
testify against his classmates. The
witness is said to have stated that
there was no evidence to incrminatr
him.
