More miscon- of the nd of matters i over from that other capital in w re were iwo instances yesterday. The tary ¢ Spanish embassy there Wa quoied as saying, “that but for Amer- interferences the Cuban insurrection Wovid have terminated long ago.” That is ly trae, but in the very opposite sense hat intended by the Spanish official. v rference here has been wholiy on the President's part, and in Spain's behalf. And yet, with all that aid, General Weyler is just now venturing out of Havana. If belligerent rights had been accorded the ins rgents a year ago, as Congress and the American people desired, the msurrection Would have terminated before this in the independence of Cuba. One blast upon Mr. Cleveland's presidential horn has been worth a thousand Spanish men. ‘The other instance was in the case of the Soleil newspaper, quoted as saying: “If the United States recognize the independence of Cubs, European opinion will unani- te movsly support Spain against America.” The Soleil imagines that the Monroe doc- trine is again in evidence, or is on the eve of being put in evidence. Figaro wrote in the same strain at the time the Venezuelan matter vas up. But, as matters now stand, the Monrce doctrine is nct in the slightest degree involved. The question is in no sense political, but one entirely of human- ity and commerce. The United States ought not to be expected to stand idly by and see Spain exterminate a people with whom it has large dealings and toward whom it cherishes the friendliest senti- ments. But while the Monroe doctrine has no besrirg on affairs to date, in case Spain shculd seek to transfer her interests in Cuba to some other European power the dcctrine would apply at once. In that case even Mr. Cleveland would feel « 1 to interpose an objection. So t until the Soleil newspaper hears that Spair is trying to sell, and it knows of scme power en that side anxious to buy, jit need give itself no concern about the Monroe doctrine. If the French newspapers did but know it, their abuse of the United States in this matter cannot possibly operate to make French investments in Cuban bonds any more secur 2-0-2 ____ Water Rights at Great Falls. Senator Chandler yesterday tried to secure the consideration of the bill provid- irg means for the government to secure all the water rights at and in the vicinity of Great Falls, but Senator Turpie objected and the bill went back to the calendar. This bill was introduced last January though its necesssity was demonstrated long before then’ and becomes more press- irg from year to year. It is regarded by engineers as a practically imperative need, in view of the rapid growth of the city and the certainty that the demand for a pure water supply will soon be too heavy for the present facilities. In addition to the mat- ter of furnishing water to a great center of population there comes the question of the power that is daily going to waste at the and that should be put to work light- = the city, ruining street cars and turn- ing factory wheels. If the proposition, in support of which some of the most emi- nent of authorities have given evidence, is to be caused to linger along from year to year without action and thus to add to the ultimate cost, no better method could be adopted than that of Senator Turpie's per- emptory objection to any consideration. But if it is to receive a business-like hear- ing and chance now fs the time. The oppo- sition of the commercial interests involveil has been practically withdrawn and at the last ion it was announced that the main desire of one of the companies pos- sessing a majority of the rights there was for a definite settlement through a govern- mental purchase. The bill now before the Senate seems to be carefully drawn to pro- tect all private owners from injustice and the government from extortion, and the quicker it is passed after eareful and intel- ligent examination of the details of its pro- visions the better for all concerned. + «= It is to be assumed without discussion that Senator Jones’ patriotism so far over. shadows his polities as to keep his face from showing any sign of satisfaction when a bank failure is announced. * ——___« -____ The Spanish diplomat in Paris who pre- dicts that the Cuban struggle will end be- fore the last of next February is doing his best to relieve the incoming administration of a serious responsibilit *, —$—> «= ____ So far as that Hawalian throne is con- cerned, Liliuokalani fraukly declares that she is permanently out from under the mistletoe. ——__~++__ There were only two score men at work on the city post office today. a SHOOTING STARS.

A Hopeful Circumstance. “So Mr. Tivvins has married a girl!” exclaimed young Mrs. Torkins. “Yes,” replied her husband. “Well, I hope shell make him a good wife. “I hope so.” “There's one thing that ought to help to make them happy, if she dresses anything like the ballet girls I saw. She won't mind ballet the cold enough to have any excuse for bothering Mr. ‘Tivvins about sealskin sacques.”” The Age of Realism. “Do you thin said the girl with the thoughtful countenance, “that novelists as a rule have’ experienced the sensations they describe?” “Great -goodnes: no!” exclaimed her father. “What do you mean to do?

A Suggestion From the Sanctam. “This poem about the snow,” said the editor, “may be a very admirable thing.” “I'm sure it is,” the young man answered. “But it has one vital fault.” “Why, you haven't read it yet!” “I don't have to read it to discover this fault,” was the bland rejoinder. “You have not kept in touch with your subject. You are talking about snow, and yet you fail to convey a suggestion of a snow storm's prirgipal characteristic.” “I don’t quite understand.” “You should have observed that a snow flake in this latitude generally lasts just enough to hit the ground and no more. Now, you've given seven stanzas, whereas you couldn't indicate the shortness of a snow storm excepting by writing a poem of one syllable.” Pickaninny Jim's Ideal.

Never has such intense interest attached to the coming appointment of American ambassador to the Court of St. James. Senator Lodge, Joseph Choate, Colonel John Hay and Chauncey M. Depew are all men- tloned, and it ought to be said any one of them would be welcomed by the American colony. If Senator Lodge be rather an An- wlophobist, he would be esteemed as bal- ancing the Bayard period of effusive senti- mentality over international relations. Re- garding the other possible nominees, Amer- can and British opinion have no shade of difference. The beginning of the : trouble is in the catch- ing cold. Then the cold is ig- nored=-made light of-- and it settles on the chest. $ The throat is affect= ed, the lungs are in danger. Pneumonia == the curse of this climate sets in, and another of God’s creatures hovers between life and death. Consumption is daily claiming its vic- tims in even greater numbers. It is said that con- sumption is incurable; the later stages are, but not the earlier. Consumption is a wasting away-=a sap= ping of the tissues--a living death. S The beginning of this dread disease is the ‘common cold’? neg= lected. The modern cure for Consumption, Coughs, Pneumonia, Croup, Bronchial troubles is Terraline--a product of Mother Earth herself. The most renowned physicians prescribe Terraline in their daily practice with almost marvelous results. For seven years Ter= raline was sold through doctors’ prescriptions only. q Now the period of ex= periment is over--the , severest tests have been grandly passed, and the merits of this great remedy are to be pro= claimed to the world. Terraline is taste-. less=-children like it =-it is far better than cod-liver oil and its emulsions.
