How all along the optimise in

What is the matter Why the in
creasing failurni Why the trade
stagnation; Js there a reuutiuancy
of currency or is there a constriction
of tprreticx? The IhsI reports ot
the Treasury slmw that the average
per capita circulation is down four
dollars lies than it wan a lew year
ago.
Dots trade really tlouiii-h better
in times of redundancy or of con
strict ioi.f !'is not the history of
the past show that people ate more
piosiM-roiis in the former than in
the latter condition? I"es no, a
redundant currency really mean
high price? Is not intlation to bo
preferred to contraction. If money
is made scrce the lich few the
money lenders are blescd, but
the Ltees of the pi r are ground.
The l'liiladelphia American, lie
publican, iu its ii-siieoi the iilstsijs
in coinnientiiiif upon tlie statements
of advocates of eontiaction :
'Tiny have reasoned contract
the eniiencv, make money scarcer,
prices lo ver, and cutieequeiitly ex
ports will lie increased and import
decreisid, and thus by the accumo
la ioii of a large mcrchandbc bal
ance of trade in our favor, exports
i of g' Id prevented. Our tanners
i atid tnaiiufactuiers would be im
j poverihhed, but no matter, our sa

! And in their demands for coti
i traction the pld uionometuUit-ts
liave been lo- -al, for only by con
tracting our currency and torcmg
priets to a loer and loer leel
can the etngle gold standard bt
uiain'ained. Consequently the gen
eral approval with which go!d
niotioinctalliets in general have re
ceived the propohal to increiu-e the
national bank currency is an exhibit
of marked inconsistency. While
urging contraction id our currency
by the reti'emeiit of greenbacks
and treasury notes issued by the
government, they advocate expan
sion by the itue of bank currency.
They cotnplaiii of a redundant cur

The action of the Senate as to
changing the mode of electing Sena

is not a party movement. Iiepub

necessity of a change and favor it.
The l'liiladelphia American, IUp.,

it nas to wcurc a major:'y of three

The Love That Lasts.
In an old history of Sussex County
in England, a strange incident is re
corded, which, it is supposed, sug
trusted to Tennyson his poem of
"Uizpah."
In 1792 two men, Iljwell and
Rock, robbed a mail-coach on a
lonely road near tho village of
Shorehatu.
Howell waa an old and hardened
villain, but Willy Iiock was simple
lad of weak intellect, whom the
rogue used as a tool.
His old mother appealed for
mercy for him, but in vain. I'oth
men were convicted and executed,
and according to the savage habit
of the time, Willy liock's body whb
hung from the gibbet in chains over
tho spot where the crime had been
committed.
Every night for years his mother
came to-tliis place, sitting in the
storm and darkness beneath tho
skeleton which swung to and fro in
the wind. Win n at last it separated
and slowly fell, she gathered the
Ikkics ot lier son, one by one, and
when she had them all, secretly bur
ied them in consecrated ground
where her own could lie beside
them.
Tho warden of one of our stato
penitentiaries where criminals are
conlinid for a long term of year
and often for life, was asked if they
were as rule visited regularly by
their friends.
"No," was tho reply, "they aro
usually men who have laen a
courage and disgrace to their fami
lies. It is a relief to be rid of them.
Their friends, their wives and even
children make one or two perfunc
tory tisits at first, and then give
them up In the course of a yeas
or two, a a rule, they are as lor
gotton as if they were in their col
fins, except by their mothers.
"Their mothers always come and
keep coining, and trying to ititluenco
me in their behalf. No matter how
black-dyed in crime a rutliati may
be, his mother ill know some good
point tn tell me of him "
Whoever the reader of these
words may be, whatever the road of
life he is pursuing, it would well
for him to stop and think of tho one
human being who had faith in him
when he was a child who 1ms
faith in him now.
Has she comfort and happiness
in her son '.
Or must she, like that other jnior
mother, gather some time the poor
fragment of his wasted life out
from the darkness and the storm to
hide them from the sight of men ?

A Minnesota farmer named
Hitics, who owned nothing but a
(juarter-sect'oii of motgaged land
and a spavined team of horses,
suddenly concluded that the country
"was being robbed by railroads, and
that the farmers must build a road
ot their own. He started out. The
fanners did not have any money
with wich to subscribe for stock, but
they pledged so many days work on
the road. Others made a gilt of the
right of way. Still . there went in
to the woixld and cut out the ties.
Farmer Ilines was much ridiculed
when he started bis agricultural
road, but he has stuck manfully to
bis task, and now the chances are
the road will be actually built. He
has one hundred and fifty miles of
right of way, pledged for the earth
work, ties enough to cover the line,
and is now in New York negotiating
lionds for the rails and rollingstock.
The road will run from Duluth
wet through the lied Uiver valley
into North DAoU, o-ning up a
new section of country.

WILL CUBA WHIP SPAIN?
ARMS ,iND MEN FROM THE BERMUDA
SAFELY LANDED ANOTHER CAR 30
FOR THE THREE FRIENDS -A VIC
TORY FOR THE INSURGENTS.
Havana, March 25. The insur
gent expedition which left New
York on board tho steamer Bermu
da on March loth has landed on
tho shores of Cuba. It is positive
ly known that the men, arms and
ammunition on board tho Bermuda
were safely put on shore and con
veyed to the hcuJipurtere of the
Cut !, despite the vigilance ot the
Spanish guards. Gen. Calixto
Garcia was at the head of the party
and is now understood to bo in tho
insurgent camp.
Jacksonvii.i.k, Fi.a,, March 25.
It was gem rally expected that
the steamer Three Friends would
leave here Ust night with another
cargo of arms and ammunition for
the Cuban insnigents. Tho muni
tions wero on board and everything
in rcadim ss, but at the last moment
the Cubans ch-nged their plans
and this morning the arms were tin
loaded from the steamer.
Tho dock of the Alabama Coal
company Rt the fooTTif Hogau street
presented the appearance ot a liov-
irnment arsenal, for theie were
thousands ot cartridges and carbines
and riths, arid im'-hotes by the
hundred. Knapsacks, c intern and
other military equipment sullicu nt
to tit out a small army were scatter
ed about, but all ef the articles
were being cln eked oil and watched
by Cubans. The arms and amiiiu
nition were stored in the wareliouo
of the Alabama Coal company.
H. B. Fritot kept account of every
package that was taken oil the ves
sel; Chas. F. Fritot superintended
the storing ot the articles in the
warehouse and J. A. Htiau appear
ed to hn bosing the job. The
boxes of cartridges were marked
"C. B." and the cases of rifles
"Knight tV Wall, Tampa, care Sa
vannah steamship and l'hint sys
tem." Tho Cuban gentlemen who are
looking after the unloading Hiid
storing of the cargo (if the steamer
will not say why the arms are be
ing taken oil tho steamer mi the
eve of her leaving for a trip to the
South. Henry Fritot said that the
cartridges were not good and would
be sent back to the factory to be
loaded. Mr. Hunti said that they
did not need the arms in Cub just
yet, and that they would be kept
here until the l.'iiited States recog
nized the Cubans ss belligerents.
"When that is done," said he, "the
arms snd other military equipment
will be sent to the Cuban soldiers."
The machetes were largely in
evidence. They were shipped in
canvass sacks, each sack containing
twenty-five. One of them was an
old blade with a horn handle,
throngh which a cord was fastened
to go over the wrist. The bla le
was stained and looked although it
hsd la-en used c itisiderably. The
new machetes were made by Collins
A Co., of Hartford, Conn.
The unloading of the steamer
was watched by one of the Spanish
spies, and a few minutes after the
work began the Spanish vice consul
etitered the Government building
and called on several of the otliciais.
The Spaniards apcar to think that
the Government should selr.e the
arms and the vessel that had them
on board.
Havana, March 25. During an
attack by insurgents upon the city
ol Santa Clam, tl e rebel leader,
Leonio Hadcval, was killed. A
detachmei't of Government tioops,
composed of the San Quintin bat
talion, was attacked by s party ot
rclicls under Foiiseca near Sn
Juan do los Yeras, iu the Santa
Clara province, and a hard fi.'lit
ensued. The battle resulted iu the
deft at of the Spanish force, w hich
lost many kill.d ami wounded. It
is admitted by the Spaniards that
in thise engagements they lost ot:e
lieutenant and fifteen privates
killed.
The insurge nts hve burned the
principal bouses in Santa Ana in
the province of Matanza, 1 1 ."
hoiists in Itodrega and a number of
house-sin I'alina S1 and Yabuit,
all in the province of Santa Clara.

An Interesting Book.
Ex Sheriff A. Fugle, of Sab in,
lm"kept-a-d!arj throtihont thp
greater portion of his life, and it is
quite interesting to have him turn
to ceriaiu dates of diligent years
and note what occupied his attention
and tho circumstances attending
In fact, such would be the case in
any person's life.
In addition to his diaty Mr. IV
gle has also kept a careful record
of his travels, which Air. Cl.as. L.
Fisher, of this city, his just finish
ed copying in one volume, com
prising some 135,000 words. Tho
title of tho volume is "my Travels,
from 1832 to 1895." It is not in
tended to put tho same into print,
but tc preserve intact as an inter
esting heirloom, which will increase
in interest with each succeeding
generation. Mr. Fogle's Travels
covered 32,023 miles, 19,807 by
horso and conveyances and 12,210
by railroad, steamboat, etc. As the
greater portion of the many jour
neys were made before the iron
horse had encircled and penetra
ted the I'ni.iii like a spider s webb,
they were necessarily private, as
trip to Indian Territory and return,
etc. 1 he record is certainly both
an exceptional and a. remarkable
one, for Mr. F'oglo was never a
drummer nor a travelling trader,
but a citizen whose duty for the
most part claimed his attention
either in the town or adjacent
country. Winston IJcpnblicuti.

The First of the Civil-Service Extension
Orders.
The President has usucd a cotn-
preheiisiveorder placing the Indian
service under the operations of tho
civil-service law. Only the agents
themselves and a few minor posi
tions are excepted. This order is
rnhahly the tiist of a series which
will practically take the en ire gov
ernment service out of politics and
remove the ollicts from the grasp
of the spoilsmen. It was within
the President's discretion to have
issued an order embracing all the
departments of the government, or
to extend th' working of the civil
service law to each branch. Fi
dctitly he has chosen the latter
course, and unless all reports aa to
his intentions are without fotitida- j

Moral Rights ot Witnesses in Court.
The Beaufort Herald, whose edi
tor is himself a practicing attorney,
and knows whereof he speaks, in
discussing the present system of
court trials and their abuses, seaki
as follows up.m one line along
which attorneys too frequently run
to ex tenses :
"It might, tx, help jurors to a
better knowledge of facts if wit
nesses weie protected from the
insolence and abuse ot attorneys.
It is a crime against all good mor
als to force a man or woman upon
the stand to give testimony and
then allow them to be insulted and
valilied by counsel with no protec
tion or redress. If tho law com
el a man to appear and bear wit
ncss it ought also to compel law
yers to treat him with courtesy and
fairness. A man has no more i ight
to call another a liar in the court
house than he has iu the street. A
man's pr-jiessional position ought
not to allow him to insult oue of
his peers with impunity. Judges
ought to protect witnesses."

Highest of all in Leavening
Washington's Married Life.
"There is every reason to lielieve
that Washington s married life was
one of increasing happinefs and
satisfaction," writes General A. W.
Greely, IT. S. A., in April Ladies'
Homo Journal. ' unfortunately
his letters to his wife were destroyed
by her. But thero are sufficient
allusions in his general correspond
ence to indicate that they grew to-
petnor with declining years, and
that both husband and wife showed
that consideration toward, and
respect for, each other which are
the soundest guarantees ot marital
happiness. Since circumstances
did not permit frequent visits of
his wife to her relatives we find
Washingtr.n inviting her mother
to come to Mount Vernon as her
home. It does not appear thst this
introduction added to the harmony
of the household, or if it did the
admission of other women, relatives
of husband or wife, did not. In
this respect Washington, writing
later about his niece living at
Mount Vernon, speaks of his love
for her, but ho says, 'I will never
again have two women in my house
when I am thero myself.' Mrs.
Washington proved an unfailing
Bupport to her husband in camp or
court, in peace or war, and Wash
ington had her happiness snd com
fort always at heart. His field
service was irksome only as entail
ing constant uneasiness on tho part
of his wife. Of the many instances
of his tender solicitude for her un
certain health there is nine more
touching than that connected with
his fatal illness. Attacked sudden
ly and seriously after midnight
Washington's malady was at least
hastened by his nnwillingness that
his wilo should incur the risk of a
cold by risinir during tho hi tcr
winter night to relieve hissutJering.''

She Had Been Divorced.
Tlio train from the east Fiiday
afternoon had among its passengers
goodlooking, stviishly dressed
lady, who evidently knew just
where she wanted to go, and went
there directly. Coming uptown
the lady sought out one of the most
prominent offices of the city and
approaching a gentleman there
showed an inclination to greet hiin
affectionately.
The object of her visit, however,
did not show a disposition to accept
the advances in the same spirit, ai;d
it required an explanation to set
things straight.
The fact was, the couple were
once husband and wife. The wife
has been in a d stant State for some
time, and at a recent term of the
Superior court here the husband
secured a divorce oa the ground of
abandonment. It appeared that
the erstwtilo wife knew nothing of
the divorce proceedings until she
arrived here.
The fair visitor visited the Clerk's
office to get a copy of the decree,
and left Saturday afternoon for her
home, apparently in good spirits.

Make a Legitimate Living.
No man ever spent his life in
idleness without causing hi fallow
mortals more labor than they would
otherwise hsve. The idler is some
thing unknown in the economy of
nature and his existence always
causes trouble and extra work for
those who are trying to make a
legitimate living. "In the swtat of
thy blow sbalt thou eat thy bread."
Any deviation from that edict,
spoken by Him who from everlast
ing unto everlasting is God, ener
vate man and takes from him the
most princely attributcof his narure.
Notice the condition ol man it.
those countriis where little labor is
required to provide food enough to
keep soul and body together. Take
for instance tne Sooth Sea islands,
and sonic of the sections of South
America and of Africa and in those
countries yon find the earth bring
ing forth, spontaneously, f x -d
sufficient to feed man and the cli
mate making it unnecessary for
him to provide clothing for his
body and there too you find the
very deepest degradation of bu
inanity. If labor is the primal
curse, it has I wen tempered with
mercy and he who shuns it makes
tiiscself a curse to Lis iellow man.p;

Tower. Latest U. S. Gov't Report
The Puzling Cuban Situation.
It '8 a lamentable and somewhat
embarrassing fact that, so far ee do
tails go, no more confidence can lie
placed in Cuban than in $ punish re
ports of what has happened, is hap
pening, or wil! happen in the "ever
faithful isle." Th' result of this is
that too many disinterested and
conscientious observers, in doubt as
to which side deserves effective
sympathy, end by giving it to
neither. They can hardly be blamed.
Whenever a "battle" occurs both
rebels and royalists claim a victory,
and always a decisive, one. The
Spanish dispatch invariably closes
with the statement that tlio enemy
was repulsed, while the insurgent
account puts emphasis on the burn
ing of a few huts or canc-fiolds.
These afscrtions rnsy bo trtl" or
false without effecting the situa
tion in the slightest degree. To form
a trustworthy deduction from such
encounters, to judge the prngresgof
a guerrilla w ar, ono might consider
the effect, not of a single skirmish,
but of a dozen, and the relative posi
tions in which they occur count for
more than does the immediate out
come. The war in Cuba must be
studied by weeks and months, not
by days; as a whole, not in detail.
All the leaves and grassblades in
these Cuban pictures are absurdly
inaccurate, but from them, nevcr-theb-ss,
it is possible to get a very
good idea of the landscape. New
