The populist leaders of Kansas are now discussing the propriety of pass- ing a bill in the next Legislature mak- ing Mexican dollars alegal tender for the payment of all debts in Kansas. It would seem that the plan meets with great favor, as it is championed by some of the prominent candidates for the United States Senate. Of course no such law could be made , applicable to contracts or obligations entered into prior to its passage, and it ” itseven doubtful Whether a State could make any other than the lawful money at the United States a legal tender for like payment of debts, but the passage of such an act would be notice to every man who owns an honest dollar that he must invest it some place else than in the State of Kansas. The Situation in Cuba. Whatever may be the result of Weylet’s campaign against Maceo, it seems evident that Spain can make no substantial progress towards the sup- pression of the Cuban revolution. Weyler cannot force Macao to a gen- eral engagement, and the most that he can hope to accomplish is to drive him out of his fastness in the mountains, without any hope of capturing or des- troying Maceo’s command. Even if lie could entirely destroy the insurgent , army under Maceo, it would not halt the revolution in any degree, as two- ithirds of the island would yet remain in the possession of the armies of Gomez, composed or five times the number commanded by Maceo. Spain is in a peculiary embarrassirg position in regard to Cuba. She has two other revolutions on hand in- her island provinces, and is seriously threatened with revolution at home. I‘Hhe Spanish government were to con~ fess its failure to subjugate the insur- gents in Cuba, the government would be overthrown within forty-eight hours, with little hope of ever re-establishing the throne in that ancient kingdom. Spain is thus compelled to keep up at least the appearance of suppressing the insurrection in Cuba, with no rational hope of success, and if Weyler’s present campaign shall result in failure, as now seems highly probable, it would doubt- less precipitate a crisis in Cuban afl’airs. There never was a more hopeless cause than the Spanish cause in Cuba. The entire Cuban pOpulation, with the rarest exceptiions is arrayed earnestly and agressively against the continu- ance of Spanish rule on the island. The experience of the Cuban people under former treaties of peace with the Spanish Government has been such as to make them feel that‘no terms what- ever,.can be accepted which would in- yolve the continuance of Spanish au- l thority on the island. To suppress the Cuban revolution there must be the ab- solute annihiliation of the Cuban papa-- Mien, and with that would come the complete deallation of every productive acre. Such a struggle, even if conducted according to the rules of civilized war- fare, should demand the intervention of Ab» other civilized governments of the ‘ world; but when it is remembered that it h 5 been prosecuted in the most fiend-sh savagery. and that the conflicts” of Sr. ain with her rapidly passing West- ern empire for centuries have not ex- hibited greater barbarism than is prac} diced to-‘day by Weyler in Cuba, the duty of civilized Nations to interpose and halt such a fiendish conflict can' hardly be disputed. The severance of Cuba from Spain is an accomplished fact, and it is only a Question what additional butchery and additional devastation of property shall he necessary to make Spain confess what the whole world has known for months past, and what Spain must Beat-n in the end. The time is very near “hand when this government must as- sent itself in the cause of humanity, by ‘mform of interposition in the bar- Mons conflict in Cuba. ._.——«o- g—Advertise in the Guerra, o How to Cure :1. Severe Gold. A few weeks ago the editor was taken with a very severe cold that caused him to be in a. most miserable condition. It was undoubtedly. a bad case of la grippe and recognizing it as dangerous he took imme- diate steps to bring about a speedy cure. From the advertisement of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy and the many good recom- mendations included therein, we concluded to make a first trial of themedicine. To say that it was satisfactory in its results, is putting it very mildly, indeed. It acted like magic and the result was a s eedy and permanent cure—The Banner 0 Liberty, Libertytown, Maryland.

Y, from a. woman passen- ger on the way to an Eastern city, to look out for a package containing $12,- 200, which she had lost on a sleeping car on his train. He remembered see- ing a package similar to the one de- scribed, and which he thought con- tained a pair of cvershoes wrapped in a paper, and had played football with it, kicking it under a car-seat. Upon receipt of the telegram he recovered the package and sent it by express to the owner. whose name he refused to divulge. It is generally safe to get close to he people; and never so safe as when i supreme emergency comes to .test :heir capacity for self-government. ._.' - The showing made by the Carlisle [ndians in football this year certainly indicates that civilization hasn’t quite cut the rednian out of her line of march. ' After having escaped work and ar— rest for twenty years, a. vagrant known as Dad Stephenson of Spring- field, Mo., who was taken into 'cus- tody, said that until his night in‘ jail he had not in all that time once slept in a bed. There are nearly as many women as men on the voting list in Utah. In Salt Lake City the men registered number 9,035 and the women 8,596, and in Salt Lake County, outside of the city, the men voters are 3,769 and the women 3,064. The one hundredth anniversary of the establishment. of the capital of New York State at Albany will be cele- brated on January 3, next year. The Governor and others are preparing for the ceremonies, although the new State government will be in office before they are held. Wayland Trask, at one time a promi- nent broker of New York city, is said to have offered to compromise for ten per cent claims of Brooklyn Masonic organizations for money held in trust, and there is much angry talk among Masons. Mr. Trask failed not long ago, and the outcome of the difficulty will be of particular interest to Me.- sons generally. Rev. Miles Grant. of Boston, thinks he has solved the problem of living. He is a strict vegetarian, and never uses meat, pies, cakes, tea. coffee, sugar, salt or spices. His daily food is un- lcavened graham bread, vegetables. cheese and milk, and he says that he lives well at a cost of 87 cents a week, the result being that he is healthy and strong. Plymouth Church in Brooklyn, once known as Beecher’s church and now as Rev. D. Lyman Abbott’s, has a bi. cycle rack, and encourages young peo- ple to come to Sunday school, which is tic-1d in the afternoon, on their wheels. “\Vhat we. want to do,” says the su- perintendent, “is to keep young per- sons out of the parks on Sunday and draw them to'Sunday school.” I-Iow few men can say as did the (Ion. A. S. Hewitt, ex-Mayor of New York, concerning a life work: “So far as my life is concerned, the riches which I haVe accumulated have been used in giving employment to labor, and—let the record go down—every dol~ lai- that I own to-day, without excep- tion, is employedin giving occupation to men who are willing to work for their living.” A pain in the chest is nature’s warning that pneumonia is threatened. ._Dampen a piece of flannel with Chamberlain’s Pain Balm and bind over the seat of pain and another on the back between the shoulders. and prompt relief will follow.
