" The Bradley-Martin Ball.
.New York has had its ball and no-
body was hurt and the wheels of
trade that was set in motion by Mrs.
Bradley—Martin’s liberal expenditures
may now be observed whirlingibriskly.
This idea that it is a good thing for the
. ‘eOmmunityjo have money spent, re-
gardless of what it is spent for, is one
of the most persistent of economic fal-
lacies. No doubt it was sincerely held
by the numerous ladies who] dressed
themselves as Marie Antoinette. as it
was by that free-handed queen herself.
There was never any lack of spending,
of making money fly, by those who had
it, in the reign of Louis XVI. and .his
predecessors. We know how much
good that did for the community at
large andwhat peace and contentment
it brought about. .
That profound philosopher Dr. De-
Witt Talmadge, has been expressing
himself on this point. - He is in favor of
big entertainments. He says ‘the
trouble is that rich men keep their
money in their vaults so that no one
can get at it. “Let it be scattered,” he
cries. By all means. That is what the
men say who want to break into the
vaults. But the men who keep their
money are precisely those who have it
to use, in'industryzand trade that are'
of general profit. The spendthrifts
mblow it in” in champagne and
flowers, are powerless to help the
world.
O
Spain’s Moekery of Cuba.
The concessions tendered by Spain to
the Cuban insurgents are simply a
mockery, and are so understood, not
only by the insurgents themselves, but
by every intelligent citizen of any
country. While the so-called reforms
segiln to be plausible on their face,there
is’not one that gives any absolute free-
dom to the people of Cuba in regulat-
ing their own internal affairs. With
every offer is attached a qualification
that destroys every Vital part of the
proposition. It is simply studied deceit
and must strengthen rather than weak-
en the rebellion in Cuba.
Those who are in responsible charge
of the government 0 of Spain: must
understand by this time that the Cuban
rebellion canfot be conquered. Even
with Maceo dead and Weyler’s repeated
boasts of having pacificatedjthe western
end of the island,he and his great army
do not to-day possess as large a portion
t f the Cuban territory as they did be-
fore Maceo fell. Every military move-
ment made has been a failure, and gen-
erally a disastrous oneJ lWhile the
frets as to the loss of Spanish soldiers
In the field can be suppressed, the one
fact visible to the Whole world remains
that the insurgents are more daring,
more powerful and more successful to-
day than at any time in the history of
the conflict. -
The fact that lWeyler has even ex-
ceeded himself in brutality in his re-
cent marches, by the indiscriminate
destruction of property and in many
instances the indiscriminate murder of
“innocent men, women and children,
clearly shows that he has attained {no
military success,and that the only hope
of suppressing the rebellion is not in des-
troying the insurgent armies, but in
making Cuba one vast field of desolation
to:prevent maintenance of life and to
2 ins end;rebellion by'starvation. This
savagery has been more fiendish during
the last sixty days than at any time
. in the history of war.
The time seems to have come when,
under President} Cleveland’s own de-
claration, there, shouldlbe intervention
on thejpart of this government to end
"a war in Cubalthat is simply savagery
and murder.
The following extract from President
Cleveland’s last annual message on the
Cuban question defines the contingency
- when the intervention of Nations would
become a_- necessity to end the barbar-
‘ous conflict in Cuba, and that contin-
gency seeml'now to confront the gov-
ernment; .
,. “.‘When- the inability of Spain to deal
' 0,
. ,._,,.
successfully with the insurrection has
become manifest and it is demonstrated
that h'erreovereignty is extinct in Cuba
fer all purposes of‘its rightful existence,
and when a hopeless struggle for “8 re-
establishment has degenerated into a
strife which means nothing more than
a useless sacrifice of human life and ut-
the conflict, a situation will be present-
ed in which our obligations to the sov-
ereignty of Spain maybe superseded
by higher obligations, which we can
hardly hesitate to recognize and dis-
charge.” '

Quick Relief from Rheumatism.
Mr. Elisha Berry, of this place says he
never had anything do him so much good,
and give such quick relief from rheumatism

which afforded prOnipt relief.—B. F. BAKER,

The following gains were made by the ETNA LIFE in 1896 :
In income, $1,057,816.28; in assets, $1,997,234.42 ; in surplus, $198,816.81 ; in
new life business, $1,598,668.00; in life insurance in force, $5,608,680.00 ; in acci-
dent business in force, $21,736,500.00; in accident premiums, $175,086.72 (or 62
per cent); in new business in Connecticut, $310,642,00; in total life business in
Connecticut, $472,569.00. _ ‘
The dividend to the insured for 1837 is the 25th regular annual increase—a record
unparalleled in the history of life insurance. Notwithstanding the advance made
by the zETNA LIFE in 1896, its expenses to income in the Life Department were a.
little lower than in the previous year, and 23 per cent. less than the average ex-
- penses of the ten leading ”purely mutual” companies fo
not their figures for 1896). h
