The Cuban Revolution.
It would be a misuse of terms to
q ) oak of the Cuban rebellion, for'rebel-
1 ion has certainly culminated in revolu-
tion; and when such a disturbance
reaches the dignity of revolution by
the clear assertion of its power to
grapple with the government forces, it
becomes the duty of the civilized gov-
ernments of the world to recognize
revolution as accomplished, and inter-
pose their offices in the interest of
peace.
The Cuban insurgents now control
quite two—thirds of the whole territory
of the island, and the fact that General
Campos was defeated in the field in his
efforts to halt the advance of the revolu-
tionary forces, proves conclusively that
it is not in the power of Spain to sup-
press this rebellion. In point of fact it
has gone far beyoud the control of
Spain, and it is now only a question of
how complete must be the desolation
‘ of ti o island to compel recognition .of
a
the freedom of the Cuban people.
'l‘here should be no delay on the part
i this government in recognizing the
Cubans as belligerents. Indeed to-day
our government would be entirely jus-
There is not adoubt that had

Northern States during the Civil War,
England, France and Spain would have

l‘c-day General Campos, who is in
comm-ind of the Spanish forces in Cuba,
instead of driving the insurgents back

the insurgents been as strong as they
are. to—day, and at no time has the gov-
ernment exhibited such utter inability
to suppress the revolution. ,
Our government should be the first
to declare the belligerent rights of the
Cuban government, and such declara-
tioumade at this time would in all prob-
ability greatly hasten the close of the
war by the complete triumph of the
rcvolutionists. We should recognize
the Cubans as entitled to belligerent
rignts at once, and it seems 'to be only
wisest-ion of tame, and a very brief
time at that, when this government will
recognize the independence of the
ow .lepublic. Every dictate of states-
enship demands it to-day, and it will
i be disputed that every dictate of
.manity and of generous civilization
for the speedy termination of the
Julian war by the recognized independ-
ence of Cuba.

Bill Voshurg’s Luck.
The case of ancient “Bill Vosbrurg”
is as curious as interesting. The com-
piler of biographies‘which teach a mor-
al would find it hhrd to deal with the
life of one who, left an orphan at eight,
and soon beginning a career of crime,
continued with energy in it until he had
_ deccnded into the vale of three score
and ten, when an obliging magistrate
gave him a Christmas box containinz a
suspension of sentence in a peculiarly
hard case of swindling, because he had
tostifedto the reckless negligence of
he Sheriff of the county. It sounds
if the world had been turned upside
down, doesn’t it? ~
"The Life of Bill Vosburg.” studious—
1y compiled, might be offered with cer-
tainty that it__would find a large circle
of readers among bud little boys. The
goody-goody boy would be so over-
whelmed by it that it would be useless
to offer it to him. Here is u. case where
vice, pursued remorsely as a career, is
recompenved by the hand of justice.
Nobody appears to Lave lent Bill a
helping hand in the early days, when
ii would had saved him from a life of
crime. But everybody is willing to do
so now. when it is comparatively use-
less to him. Tie a whimsical world.

This play is presented by one of the

this comedy she has a role which gives
full scope to her wonderful versatility.

, Nervousness
Is only another name for impure
blood, for no person is weak and ner-
vous whose blood is perfectly pure.
When the blood is full of the germs
of disease, and lacking in the redcor-
puscles which give it vitality, when it
fails to properly nourish the organs
and tissues of the body, What can you
expect but that tired feeling and nor.
vousness?
Of course Scrofula, Salt Rheum,
Catarrh and Rheumatism are uni-
versally recognized as blood diseases,
for which Hood’s Sarsaparilla, as the
best blood purifier, is everywhere
.acknowled the greatest remedy.
Therefore, as Hood’s Sarsaparilla
cures all blood diseases, it is the best
remedy for that condition of the blood
Which causes Nervousncss.
