Br WlttlAM BU BEBN1BD. V7XLMLNQTON, N. C. Friday morning. Not. 20, -1896 ; CUBA TO THE FRONT.1 We have for several months .been so much occupied with our own af fairs that Cuba, in wbicb we were very much interested up to the time of the meeting of our national con vent'tons, was lost sight of. While we were engrossed in the questions at issue In our political campaign, Spain was preparing to force the fighting in Cuba and General Wey- ler preparing to put into execution the plans which he had been matur ing, and when he was ready put himself at the head of his army and marched into the province of Pinar del Rio, where Maceo and his troops have made themselves at home for the past nine months. This movement is understood to mean that there is a crisis in Cuba, that Spain feels the necessity of making one grand effort to crush the rebellion, upon which may depend ' the preventing of a revolution at home, and the preservation of the Spanish monarchy. It is a crisis not only in Cuba but in Spain." Weyier, who has made many boasts that he would have the rebellion strangled in a short time, has made no percep tible Droeress sioce his arrival at Havana nine months ago,; although he has dealt with cruel severity, with the Cubans who have fallen into his hands, bis object being to strike ter ror into them ; but his severity, and the savage proclamations he issued forcing the Cubans to take one side or the other filled the ranks of the Cuban captains with men who if left a choice might have remained on the plantations. Weyler's plan is to sarround Maceo and force him to battle, feeling con fident in his ability, with his superior numbers and better equipment, to - whip the Cuban commander, bat while he has bad some clashes with detachments of ; Maceo's forces, Maceo seems to be able to hold his ' ground and at the same time avoid battle on the ground chosen by Weyier. Weyier should fail to force .Kfight and a surrender his . campaign from which so much was ..Li' , T t t expeciqa ana upon woicu so muca depends will be a failure and it would have been better as far as Spain and be are concerned that he bad remained at Havana and pursued his ordinary tactics. When Weyier took the field in per son Maceo as well as others realized r- that the crisis had come, and that all he had to do was not to accept the gauge of battle and risk all on the result, but to avoid battle and let eyler go back empty-handed as he came, for he can't make a prolonged stay in the hill country and feed bis army, for provisions are too scarce for that. Maceo's troops could live and grow fat on the food that would kill Weyler's nnacclimated soldiers, who are fed mainly on imported food. Time is the friend of the Cubans in this contest, and Maceo is fighting for time, j Murat Halstead, who spent some time in Cuba as the correspondent of the New York Journal, writing for that paper a few days ago on the situation as it now presents itself, says Weyler's success will but pro - long the agony, while his failure will be the ruin of the Spanish cause. As Spain recognizes that there is a crisis upon ber, so is it regarded in this country, and while' Gen. Lee others who have been in Cuba and are familiar with the situation now and in the past do not anticipate a-J ruptnre between this Government and Spain as. inevitable ' they con sider it quite possible, and that Spain may . provoke the interference . of this Government, preferring to surrender Cuba to it than to the Cubans, which would give her an opportunity to say that it was the superior power of the United States and not the Cubans which had won, which the Spaniards wonld think saved the National honor, which would be humiliated if Spain had to lower her colors, abandon the strug gle and leave her prized possession in the hands of the hated but victo rious "rebels." " . They might call it "war with the United States," but it would be no war at all, unless some other nation took a hand in it, of which there is no likelihood now, for it would sim ply be a blockading of i the Cuban ports and the starving out of the Spanish army, whictHs fed mainly upon imported provisions! " With a United States fleet patrolling the coast on the look out for vessels bonnd to Cuban ' ports, with these ports effectively, blockaded and the Cubans supplied with the munitions of war as they would be in that event, there would J)e no necessity for land ing a man on the Island and it would be only a question of a few months when the Spanish army hungry and dispirited, confronted by battle ships . on lone side and by emboldened, strengthed "rebels' on the other, wonld sue for peace, lower their flag, take to their shjps and look on the Island, the graveyard of so many Spaniards, for the last time, The end cannot be "so far off, whetherJMr. Cleveland feel disposed tct take decisiyV action or not He may think it best not ; to hasten action in view of the ' short time be has to remain in brace, but events may make some action necessary,' for Spain - may, should Weyler's campaign fail, invite inter ference In each a way as to make it impossible to avoid it. As far as the political parties are concerned both the Democratic and Republican party put in their platforms declara tions of sympathy with, the Cubans, which meant more than merely wish ing them well. It meant that the people of this country wished to see them free and that they would ex tend the aiding hand when the op portune time ; came. Without na tional dishonor tbls aid cannot be delayed much longer. AN EMBARRASSING POSITION. An extra session of the Kentucky Legislature will be called some time in January, at which Governor Brad ley, Republican, expects to be elected United States Senator, to succeed Senator Blackburn. With' Bradley, the Republicans claim that they will require bat one vote to give them a majority and enable them to carry through any fioancial or tariff legislation they propose, and this vote they hope to secure by the elec tion Senator Pritchard from this State. They are counting on him not only as a reliable gold man, but also as a reliable" high tariff man, and they doubtless know why they so count. It is evident and conceded that Pritchard cannot be elected without Populist votes. If he gets these Populist votes be can get them only as a result of bargains alleged y have been made when fusion was effected in some cotfnties between the Republicans and Populists on the legislative ticket, by - which the Populist candidates agreed, if elected, to vote for the Republican nominee, Pritchard to. be the man. This bargain, though frequently charged during the campaign, was never admitted,' though jiot de nied, but now we shall find out what there was in this and who of the Populist legislators elect sold themselves for Republican Support. Certainly no Populist who places the principles of the party to which he belongs above his own personal interest or ambition can stultify him self by voting for a Senator who will vote against the measures which the Populist party advocates and claims to be of transcendent importance, or so vote without thereby acknowledg ing that he 'has been bought and is simply delivering the goods he bar gained to deliver. Thus, they are forced either to vote against their own party or to break the alleged compact entered into with their as sociate Republicans, which is a somewhat embarrassing position for -a man to be placed in who hasn't the hide of a rhinoceros or the conscience of a pirate. MIBOH, SCEBTION. Hon, J. Sterling Morton, Secretary of Agriculture, devotes a portion of his report to-showing that the far mers of. this country are much bet ter off than they thought they were, especially the farmers of the West, who did the most growling and made the most racket about "free silver," "more money," etc., com pared with whom, accordiug to Mr. Morton, the farmers of the Easfare sitting on the ragged edge. The esteemed Secretary seems to think that the farmer who hasn't a mort gage to dream about or to keep him. awake of nights is pretty well off, and when this isn't, the case he ought .. to be pretty well satisfied, whether his wheat' brings 50 cents (more or less) a bushel, and other truck in proportion; but even then he ought td feel content, if his mort gage isn't as big as the mortgage of some other plow steerer, Mr. Mor ton fixes the business up to his own satisfaction,' whether he does to the conviction of .' the farmers : or not, many of whom will still continue in that perverse state ot mind to be lieve that they , are not as prosper ous as they might be. A little fact will sometimes knock a large amount of elaborate writing out of gear. The press dispatches yesterday an nounced the failure of the Norwegian Plow Company, at Dabuqae, Iowa, capital. $195,000, nominal assets $275,000, liabilities $140,000. Alleged cause "slow collections." This com pany -.did business exclusively with farmers, made 'implements which were r bought by farmers .only, and yet, doing business in one of the best farming regions of this coantry, not withstanding the fact that the prices of their products have so materially advanced since harvest time, it has not been able to collect money enough to pay its debts and keep out of the hands of creditors. Is this an evidence of the prosperity that Mr. Morton has discovered? Prosperous farmers should certainly be able to pay for the implements they buy. " There are few diseases that the hu man family is subject to which are not preventable when proper meth ods are employed. V Cholera and yel low fever, both scourges that once filled people with terror, are now un der such control in . countries where the right methods are -adopted as to be viewed, with t little aland. They are no longer dreaded as cemetery filling pests. There are more deaths in Europe, or In some countries of Europe, from scarlet fever than from cholera or any disease -brought in from other countries, and there are more deaths in this coantry from typhoid, fever and diphtheria than from all the imported diseases. Both of these are preventable diseases. The effect of preventive precautions in i the case of - typhoid fever is shown by the small death rate in European cities where the mortality was once very large, and the large death rated in this country (which has somewhat decreased, too), where the same precautionary methods are not so generally or effectively em ployed. The following .table gives the death rate per 100,000 of popu lation in the leading cities of Europe and of this country, showing the wide difference in favor of the European cities where proper atten tion has been given to securing pure water supplies: Europe. Berlin ....... Munich ...... Hamburg .... The Hague... United States. Chicago .83 . 88 86 Cincinnati,.. Cleveland .... Washington . . Pituburg .... Jenev City ... Louisville .... Rotterdam .. . Stockholm ... .77 .71 Christianu . .. .77 .97 .40 . 29 'Vienna.. . Indian?p-lia . Poiladeiphla. , Buffalo..,..., Dresden...... Breslau ...... Average. Average.... 56.0 , These figures show that the mor tality from this disease is nine. times as great in this country as it is in Europe, notwithstanding the skill of our. physicians, which is equal to that of any in the world. It may not be an easy matter to supply cities with pure water, but it is not a difficult: matter for families to protect themselves by taking the precaution to boil the water they drink. .. " . CURRENT COMMENT. Gold will have 57 majority in the next House, but that will cut no figure if the silventes in the Sen ate see fit to filibuster. Philadelphia Ledgert Ind. One effect of the proposed tariff on wool is very - certain. It will largely increase the price of woollen clothing to all who wear it without any compensation to them. Every one remembers the large re duction in the price of clothing that followed the removal of the tariff on wool, and every one knows that its restoration will increase it again. That is the consideration of chief interest to every one except the fancy ram breeders.- Indianapolis Sentinel, Dem. . - It is reported that Ellery M, Brayton, the Republican boss and whip in South Carolina, will en deavor to have the State's repre sentation in Congress reduced to accord with the vote, cast in the re cent election. It Is claimed that the new constitution of the State disfranchises 125,000 negro voters. There are about 140,000 adult male negroes in the State, and not more than 15.000 of them were able to vote in the last election. Brayton will contend that if these negroes are not to be permitted to vote, there isno ground upon which to send representatives to Congress for the proportion of the claimed voting population which they represent, lo deprive the State of Congressional representatives J or 125,000 voters would reduce the State's delegation from seven members to three.

He was one of the first local subscribers to the ' telephone and bas kept right up with the march of 'inventions in all its ramifica tions. .As a wide awake man Hobson was 'not slow to grasp the possibilities of the long distance telephone. And that is bow Hobson and Dobson came to have the first dispute which marred years of profitable partnership; Dobson went to New York last week. He made his headquarters at a well known Gotham hoter and telegraphed Hobson of bis arrival in the eastern town.: It seems that an eastern customer had failed to keep a certain agreement the details cf which were familiar to Hobson, bnt not to Dobson. It would take a long telegram to explain the details fully, and Hobson de- elded to call Dobson np on the long dis tance telephone.

Chloroform and Its Introduction lata the Practice of Medicine. . No event of the oentury has effect ed humanity so widely and bo inti mately as that crowning triumph of medical science which Sir Benjamin Biohardson calls the "mastery " of pain." The boon of anaesthesia ex tends far beyond the domain of steam engine Or telegraph and touches the individual more closely than any thing in the world when his hour of suffering comes, as it may come to any of us at any moment. And in the popular : view - anaesthesia- means chloroform, whatever experts may think of the superior merits of other substances. People know that den tists use "gas, " and some may have heard of ether or even of bichloride of methylene, but , the household word is chloroform. Fifty years of usage have given it an unassailable position, and if a new anaesthetic were to displace it tomorrow the old name would probably remain. Yet chloroform was not- the first anses- thetio discovered, nor is it so much used in the present day as its less famous predecessors. The early his tory of this great discovery, as oi many others, is debatable ground,; but certain facts have been clearly established. ; . - The first chemical agent found to possess the property of pro ducing insensibility by inhalation and used for - that: purpose was nitrous oxide, more familiarly known as "laughing gas" or simply gas. It is still considered the safest and is administered every day to thousands of patients, not only for dental purposes, but in conjunc tion with ether for general surgery. To Priestley belongs the honor oi identifying it chemically, to Sir Humphry Davy that of expounding its ansesthetio properties. He found them out by experimenting on him self, and suggested their practical application in these words: ' "As nitrous oxide, in its extensive operation, appears capable of de stroying physical pain, it may prob ably be used with advantage during surgical operations in which no great effusion of blood takes place. If any one deserves to be called the father of anaesthesia, it is Sir Hum. phry Davy. Bnt the surgeons oi this day, whether from blindness, timidity or prejudice, appear to have .missed the significance of bis an nounoement altogether, for, though the words just quoted were publish ed in the year 1800, no practical use of the gas was attempted until 1844, and then the' initiative came from America, In that year a Connecticut dentist named Horace Wells submitted him self Jo the ordeal and had a tooth extracted under the influence of ni trous oxido. The next step was the introduction of ether, and the credit of this also belongs to America. It lies between two Boston gentlemen named Morton and Jackson, but some attempt was made to keep the dis covery a secret for commercial rea sons, the only result of whioh was to bury the facts in obso'urity and to deprive the real discoverer of the honor that more straightforward conduct would have seoured to him. The secret was immediately detected by Ds. Bigelow and sent over to England, where the leading surgeons of the day Listen, Lawrence and Fergusson took it up at onoe in their hospital practice. Sir Benja min Richardson has described in the most graphio manner how the good news came to Glasgow, where he was studying at the time, and how great was tho excitement in the pro fession. Ether, - the second anaes thetic in priority, is still the second also in point of safety and in the fa vor of the anaesthetists at the pres ent tune. Boston Herald. Anvils. . "It is not generally-known, " ob served a prominent blacksmith. "that nearly all of the anvils used by blacksmiths in this country are made by one firm in Brooklyn. All kinds of substitutes have been in vented and put on the market, but after using them the blacksmith generally goes back to the wrought iron anvil, which is handmada.- There are plenty of cast iron and steel anvils for sale, but they find but little ' favor from blacksmiths, who prefer an anvil that sings. The castiron anvil has no mnsio about it and does not give any more response to the hammer than if one was ham mering on a stump.Jt is music, or -singing, as the smithy calls it, that is Wanted. A blacksmith does near ly all nis talking to his helper by the sounds made on the anvil by his hammer. As far as the village blacksmith is concerned, singing by the anvil is his oonstant advertise ment Ordinarily an anvil will last from 10 to 20 years that is, if it is handled carefully, though there are many anvils that are now used by sons whioh were used'by thefathers during their entire lifetime. Washington Star. Why They Wear fiats. History does not tell, so far as we know, how it came about that members of the English parliament wear their bats. The custom has descended from an age when its proceedings were not re corded, but one may suspect that there by hangs a tale of sturdy and victorious revolt against privilege, such as -broke out-at Versailles, could it be recovered. Now and again we find antique allusions to the praotioe. When the commons voted that everyone should "uncover or stir or move his hat" when the sneak' er expressed the thanks of the house fox any service done by a member, Lord Falkland "stretched both his arms out and clasped his hands together on the crown of his hat and held it down dose to his head, that all might see how odi ous that, flattery was to him."
