As a News and Advertising Medium it has mo competitor. t7In order to avoid delays, on ac- count of perso: letters fo THE ‘The Jackson Influence. ‘The probabilities are that the great shade of Andrew Jackson will be very much in evidence throughout the country on the evening of the Sth. Both factions of the democracy will observe the anniversary. and both will conjure with the general's name. It will serve at the boards of the ene faction as an inspiration for continu- ing the fight for sound money, and equally at the boards of the other faction for con- tinuing the fight for free silver. The old hero, therefore, will be forced to take both sides of the question—something that he Was never known to do while in the flesh. It is diffieult to follow those who claim that if Gen. Jackson were alive today he Would be a free silver man. There is no authority for the claim in any of his state Papers, or in any of his official acts as President. It is probably based on a glit- tering generality. Gen. Jackson tackled and overthrew the United States bank of his day, and out of that performance has grown some undiscriminating praise about his standing for the people as against what is called the domineering power of money. But not a single financial feature of that fight can with safety or in fairness be ap- plied to this silver question. Gen. Jeck- son, if alive and in office today, would be obliged to meet that question, and would meet it, with only a general reference to the other. How he would meet it is, question. He had a very of course, a direct way of looking at matters. He settled a number of important questions in a very straight- forward and satisfactory manner. He never yielded to clamor. He never led or counseled a crusade against the rich. He was a plain man and stood for the people. and he was a national man in all of his deliverances. He frowned upon sectionalism in all forms. and he would have gone to war to preserve the Union as readily as any man who ever sat in the White Heu: If he today, therefore, two or three things about this silver question would be likely to engage his earnest atten- tion. In his direct way he would probably want to know about converting 53 cents’ worth cf silver bullion into a legal tender were alive dollar. He would be very curious about the arraying of one portion of the people against another, and the sectional cry would arouse him at once. And so, as he favored sound money while he lived, and was a national man in all of his instincts end deliverances, it is not difficult to think of him as belonging in his influence to tne sound money side of the present financial question. Suicidal Novelties. A season of oddities in the ways and means of self-destruction has opened, and hardly a week passes without some fresh novelty in the suicidal line. Not long ago @ man in Chicago swallowed poison, but for fhe benefit of medical science took careful note of his symptoms until his mind and fingers failed together under the influence of the deadly drug. This de- liberate record of the sensations of ap- proaching death may be of value as a curiosity, but it Is dubious whether sufti- clent reliance can be placed on such testi- mony to render It of use to science. A Ver- mont suicide sought to contribute to the spectacular effect of the drama of life and death rather than to the store of useful knowledge. He carefully posed before a camera, and so adjusted the instrument that an exposure was effected the instant his finger pressed the trigger of the pistol from which a bullet sped on its fatal er- rand. This resulted in a ghastly negative depicting the scene of suicide, which was, fortunately, broken in the excitement which followed its development. The re- cent and still continuing bank failures and embarrassments are contributing to add to the list of self murders, and the record of the past month is startling in the fre- quency of such tragedies. One of the un- fortunate financiers sought death in a church; another walked barefooted to the water: and there plunged to oblivion, leaving a trail of torn scraps of paper to indicate the piace of his suicide; within a few hours a banker in a nearby city drowned himself in a pond so shallow that he was forced to grasp the weeds at the bottom to prevent failure. As an allevia- tion of the gruesomeness of this combina- tion of suicidal novelties comes another tale from Chicago, relating how a police- man frightened a would-be suicide from his purpose by threatening to shoot if the of- fender did not promptly wade to the shore ef the lake into which he had walked. There is something paradoxical in this sud- den upsetting of a theoretically fixed re- solve by the unexpected presentation of an extra chance to reach the very end that was being sought. +e Kansas is showing a sensible disposition to stop talking about her troubles and to devote her energies to mending them. She has realized that this is an era when suc- cess or the appearance of it commands most of the available helping hands. es Mr. Wanamaker’s appearance in the fuil pancply of war indicates that he long since gave up all hope of getting Mr. Quay to come to Sunday school and be reformed. —__ + +> ___ ‘The Spaniards are a proud people, but mes to considering the achieve- ments of Mr. Weyler they are able to re- strain their vanity. ———_- + e= —___ If Mr. Hanne can prove that his attack of insomnia ts genuine and likely to last, it right be a judicious idea to send him to the Senate. +e Mr. Bryan also is interested In the out- come of Senator Wolcott's trip to Burope. > Baltimore and Obio Betterments. ‘The Star yesterday contained a deserip- tion of extensive improvements, costing about half a millon « s, that are near- ing completion at ard near Pittsburg, un- dertaken by the B. and O. Railroad Com- for the ‘betterment of its terminal Ss there. It is fortunate that these erprises are in condition to be noted at time, when the proposed changes in local arrangements of the same road re under Congressional consideration, for the light of the Pittsburg expenditures can hardly, with good grace, revive the plea that peverty alone stands in the way of equipping its Washington terminal in a manner satisfactory, in @ Measure at least, to the citizens of the capital This excuse has been presented f*ession after session, and with such suc- cess that the abeliticn of the grade cross- ings has been postponed with persistent regularity. Perhaps, indeed, these very improvemerts at Pittsburg will be now cited as reasons for further procrastination &nd tolerance, just as certain new shops ut Cumberland were utilized for the same Purpore a couple of years ago, but the force of the contention that Washingion’s needs are to be attended to last, after every ether requirement has been fully met, will not be admitted. The importance of this terminal is too great to be successfully minimized In the minds of the Senators and Representatives who are about to take up the question. They know by personal ob- servation that a great tide of traffic is con- Stantly flowing in and out of the city, and that the community is annoyed, menaced and restricted to an unbearable degree by the present system of trackage. It is im- material that the Pittsburg improvements were undertaken before the present finan- cial embarrassments overtook the road. They are now regarded as material to the welfare of the system, a fact that has been undeniably true of the Washington plans for many years. There will be no unsur- mountable difficulty encountered in adjus:- ing the differences that now exist between the citizens and Commissioners on the one hand ard the road's engineers on the other regarding the character of the betterment, if it should develop that the compeny is sincere In fits professed desire to do some- thing to relieve the local situation. Nor should it be difficult for Congress to stim- ulate sincerity by showing a determination to give first place in the consideration to tke reasonable requirements of the capital rather than the wishes of the corporation. ———+»+e+e—___ Evolution of 2 Spanish Champion. Mr. Hale of Maine, in this Cuban busi- ness, is making a certain sort of progress. He began simply as an opponent of hasty action by this government. He was afraid that the United States by recognizing the belligerency of the insurgents might involve itself unduly with Spain. His first deliver- ances were in that key. He then passed to a more energetic order of protest. He took the ground, in effect, that even if the conditions in Cuba were hard, it was none of the United States’ business. Cuba be- longed to Spain, and Spain was entitled to do what she pleased with her own. Now Mr. Hale appears as a full-fledged cham- Pion of Spanish rule in Cuba, explaining it in detail and justifying it in every fea- ture. Mr. Hale's figures are unquestionably from Spanish sources, and they tell the Spanish tale. Had they been supervised by Minister de Lome, or the Spanish premier himself, they would not guard Spanish in- terests more carefully. Spain has been wise, and considerate, and helpful toward Cuba throughout. A few reforms or so may be lacking, but they are ready. In fact, they would have been applied long ago but for the indescribable and inexcusable folly of the Cubans themseives. It is plain that Mr. Hale has no patience with the insur- gents; is utterly unable to comprehend, except upon the score of cussedness, what they can be driving at. But whatever it may be, he is against them, and hopes to see them brought under their old-time sub- jection. Mr. Hale may not know it, but his de- liverance is what is called a “chestnut.” His figures and his contention are mouldy. They have been tried on the public repeat- edly by the Spaniards themselves. They do not, however, and cannot, either from Spanish sources proper, or filtered through Spanish-American sources, reach the main proposition. Which is that if Spain had given to Cuba the good government claimed for her, Cuba would not now be in revolt and holding at bay the whole Spanish power. People to whom good government and prosperity are given do not rise up and smite their benefactors. But there is more than the commercial side to the controversy. Mr. Hale does not touch upon the right of the Cubans to self- government, nor upon the very close re- semblance their struggie bears to the strug- gle made by the American colonies against England a little over a hundred years ago. He cannot be unaware that those consid- erations are influencing many people in this country, and some of his own col- leagues in the Senate, and so the fact that he does not allude to them is proof suffi- cient that they have no weight with him. ———»+ee—___—__ A Louisiana schooi is devoting systematic attention to suger culture.

An Inconsistent Public. “It simply shows,” remarked Senator Sorghum, as he placidly folded his han-is in front of his vest, “that there is no use in trying to satisfy the critics.” “To what case do you refer?” “My own. Half of them say that the way I have gotten official position was Ly using my money. The other half say that the way I got my money was by using my official position. And until they agree in their accusation I shall not feel called upon to offer any explanation whatever.” Javentie Curtesity. “Mr. Diggies,” said the little boy with big ruffies on his shoulders, “I wish you would let me come and see where you live. I want to look at your room.” “Why, certainly. But what made you think of that?” “My sister said it was better than yeur company, so I thought it must be some- thing fine.” Am Error. “FN drown my cares,” Quoth he; “I'll stroll Where Bacchus bears The flowing bowl” Alas, for him, He quite forgot His cares could swim, While he could not. A Success. “Were your theatrical entertainments for charity a success?" asked one girl “Yes, indeed! We got $107.25." “Indeed! You must have had a large au- diez ce.” “No, we took in $7.25 at the ticket office and father gave us $100 never to do it again.” “The mon thot makes the mosht noise wit "ls worruk,”’ remarked Mr. Dolan, “ain't alweys the wan thot's givin’ it the besht attention. Shnorin’ niver yet betokened a sourd shlaper.”* A Sweeping Suggestion. Too much yelling in the street, Where the newsboys trade; In the doze that should be sweet, Oft are we dismayed.
