Ex-Minister Tay lor declares in a publisbed letter, “I am eatiefied after careful iovesti- gition, that the ruling classes of Spain—civil, clerical and mil'tary— ar+ resolved, regardless of party, to refuse to wake any concessions to their rebellious colon:ste, as would meet with their acceptance,’ and de clares against the “hollowsess and emptioess «f the whole shadowy pre'ense embodied by Senor Cano vas in the royal decree of February 5, 1897. {t deceived uo one, certain ty not the Cubans” Mr. Tavlor further asserts “that the great mao had trifled with us as if we were childrev,” and declares that he “sees no solution of the Cuban prob Jem which will end the inhuman strife except the interveation of this couutry.” After exhausting all the resources of a learned and experieuced diplo wat to bring about a peaceful end to this barbarous warfare of subju gation, Minister Taylor has reacted » conclusion in harmony with the great mass of American citizens, that the United States should call a halt and put an end to the Cuban putin their places Chinamen. The miners were told to vote for Mc- Kioley, higher wages, more work and prosperity. They voted. During the last two weeks of the Obio campaign, the doors of all ex ecutive departments at Washington were closed and only routine busi- mess was transacted by the clerks.

The returns would likewise indicate that it was also an off year for th- middle-of-the road populist. In Iuwa @ year ago the populists cast a vote of 46,000, at the election last week the returns from the same etate shows a vote of only a little over 5,000.

Such democratic leadera as ex- Governor Stone, Senator Cockrell, Congressman Bailey of Texas and ex Congressman Sorg of Ohio have “oxpressed themselves quite freely since the recent: election on the future policy of the party. They agree that there will be no change in the next national platform on the money question, but, to the contrary, that it will be made equslly as prominent as was the case in 1896. Ex Governor Stone thinks that a large per cent of ths “sound money” democrats will henceforth vote the regular ticket and that the leaders will doubtless vote the republican icket or not vote at all.z-Republic. war.

NO MAN 18 GREATER THAN THE DEMOCRATIU PARTY. Henry Watterson has discovered at last that he is not bigger than his party. For many years he imegin ed be was,whea iu the heyday of nis popularity bis voice was heard above all others in the councils of the party in his state. But there came aday when Henry wanted to go one way and his party wavtad to go another. Then was the test made fair and square, and H-nry made the effort of hia life. Aud it was 10 child’s play. He called to his aid such powerful aliies as Joho G. Car lisle, whom Kentuckians had delight ed to honor above all men anda giant intellectually; W. C Breckeo ridge the idol cf bis people and whose eloquence swayed men as mighty winds sway the trees of the forest; the gifted Lrndsey whose g-nius had won him a seat in the United States senate, aud many oth- ers of the same class. Backing there up was Heury’s Courier Journal,the greatest and most influential news- paper published south of Mason and D:xou’s lie. Opposed to this force was the democratic party, assailed by foes from without and weakened by internal dissensione, but its hum- ble followers, imbued with the spirit and teachings of Jeffersoa and Jack- son, made a firm stand. It looked for a time as if it was doomed, and for the first time in the history of the state suffered dafeat, but cnly temporarily. It rallied and came forth to victory, puriticd, cleaner and stronger than ever. And what of thearray of statesmen who at- tempted its overthrow. Henry Wat- terson alone of them all will ever be trusted again and he must do pen ance. Heis as boid and brave a knight as ever set lance in rest and when beaten admitted bis defeat, bows to the will of bis party, eur- renders his position a an officer of trust aud begs to be taken back an humble private in the ranks, that by/| his works he may prove himself|Spain, Capt.
