PLEA FOR THE SPANISH RACE
New York Tribune.

Omltting the Asian tongues and races
OF India and China, and also those of
Russin as more than half Asian, the
Spanish race and the Spanish tongue
stand easily second In the world in
point of numbers and distribution, and
second, too. we should say, I'm scope of
future promise. To them belong Cen
trail and South America, the whole wes-
tern hemisphere belong the Tropic OF
Cancer or more than one-fourth OF
the surface of the globe-for Portu-
guese Brazil must be reckoned In with
It's somewhat closer than cousinly kim
and in addition one of the most valu-
able parts OF Europe and a goodly hold
Ing IN Africa and Asia. No other race
save our own has a comparable field
for growth nor are we convinced that
any other has within Itself more un-
exhausted vitality. With all It's mighty
past the Spanish is stlll one of the
great races OF the present and Of the
future.

A young Englishman with title and

Switzerland. BY chance he arrived on
Friday, when the fare was especially
frugal. He had little to eat that
day and went to bed hungry. During
the night, as is their custom, one OF
the fathers went to the cells with n
benediction. The Lord be with YOU"
which, of course, he said In Latin.

young Englishman. The monk repeated.
"Dominus tecum!" "Ah, thanks, I'm

I. T. Cooper. whose theory that
the human stomach is the cause Of
most Ill health and who created a
furore III Chicago. st. Louis and other
western cities, Is meeting with the

has convinced an immense number Of
people that his theory is sound and
his medicine will do what he claims.

man Is causing, are the statements

Deadlock on the Currency.
I. As was foreseen when the senate
substituted the Aldrich currency bill
for the vreeland bill passed by the
house, the whole matter Of currency
legislation at this session became
doubtful. Conferees Of the two houses
have met only to find that neither
side was disposed to surrender on es-
,septials. The chief difference appeared
K, be whether the proposed emergency
chfrency should be issued by single
banks or by associations Of banks
known as the clearing houses. The
conferees did agree. however, that a
commission should be created to look
into the caures OF the panic, and such a
bill was later introduced by Senator
kidrich. It proposes a commission Of
eighteen, half from each branch Of con
gress. The senatorial %eonfereess said
ttat no bill providing for an asset cur-
-rency could pass the senate.
