The death yesterday of Senor Canovas, the Spanish Premier, at the hands of — assassin was one of those tragedies which | shock the sensibilities of all true men. The wretch who did the deed avows himself a “revolutionary anarchist,” and confesses to the purpose of avenging those members of his order who have recently been punished at Barcelona. As he is an Italian by birth and bringing up, and as‘an allusion was made to Seror Canovas at an anarchist meeting in Paris yesterday, the crime is local only ia the feature of the victim claimed. Anarchism, without race or coun- try, seems alone to be chargeable with it. Senor Canovas was the strongest man in talents and influence in the Conservative party In Spain. In fact for months past he had been the party. He had kept it in power, shaped and directed its poltcy, and stood for it in times more ng than any other party in Spain has known for many years. He had great teracity of purpose, and intellectual resources of uncommon depth and variety. The less of such a leader, therefore, at such a time will neces- ily be great both to his party and to his country. His party without him would appear to be nothing, and Spain, even with him, was already practically exhausted. But, for a season, there Is likely to be what may be called a revival of national spirit in Spain. Partisanship in any coun- try temporarily subsides in the presence of such an appalling episode. This is already in evidence in Spain. The leaders of the different parties and factions are promptly pledging unreserved support to the Queen Regent. Liberals, republicans, and all share alike in detestation of the crime commit- ted, and no party could afford to desire to draw advantage from what has grimly been called “the lottery of assassination.” For the present, therefore, Spain is Itkely to continue to present a united front to the outside world. About what change may be expected to follow in Cuban affairs, and how soon, it 1s idle for the moment to speculate. Senor Canovas was the tower of strength behind General Weyler. He approved of his cam- Paigns, supported him as against criticism at home or abroad, and pushed Spain's credit in every available direction to secure means with which to carry on the war. Does the death of his chief and patron mean the recall of General Weyler? And if General Weyler should be recalled, even in the interests of a return of General Campos to the field, would that be followed by a collapse of the Spanish cause in the island? It is too early to enter with any- thing like safety into the realm of those inquiries. It is safe to predict, however, that the insurgents will‘abate none of their fervor or diligence. They are in the field to win. One Span’sh minister is the same as another to them. They feel that they have nothing to expect from any leader in Spain likely to be called to power, and hence their only hope is in adhering to the policy they marked out for themselves at the outset. If they are to achieve independence {t must be with the sword and not through cabinet changes in Madrid. ———~++e—___ Reciprocity Under the Dingley Law. The termination of the special conven- ticns governing trade between England and Germany and England and Belgium invites particular attention to the reciprocity clause of the Dingley law. It is expected that new conventions will be negotiated to take the place of the old, and, of course, rely new reciprocal arrangements will effected between England and Canada. riff war growing out of the new s not credited anywhere. Tariff s have never been profitable, and, be- reciprocity is recognized now as en- titled to a place in the best directed eco- nomic folicies. The experience of this government with reciprecity has been highly satisfactory The special conventions negotiated und the McKinley law were all successful from the Ame point of view and ought all to have been continued. In fact, it was their success which marked them for re- peal when the democratic party returned to power in ISus. They were rapidly in- creasing the foreign trade of the country by arrangements which, instead of being special, the democracy held should be gen- eral. So they were repealed, and the step proved to be one of several unwise steps which marked the replacing of the Mc- Kinley law with the Gorman-Wilson law. " There is now an opportunity to try re- cipreeity again and under new and im- proved conditions. Laws governing the wade of other countries are about to un- derge revision on reciprocity lines, and it will be a good time for the United States to enlarge its commercial connections by the same means. It has a good deal’ to offer. and it will not be difficult to obtain @ hearing in any quarter. As to the quar- ters that should be approached, that, of course, is a question to be determined only after the most thorough survey of the whole field and the most careful balancing of all interests involved. The reciprocity clause of the Dingley bill was made a part of that measure after full discussion. It had the approval of the re- publican members of both houses of Con- gress. It received before it passed Con- gress the approval of the President, who, as the author of the MeKinley Dill, had already mastered the subject. It is a part of the law, therefore, to be executed, and the hope ‘s, in view of what the policy has accomplished in the past and of the invit- ing opportunities of the present, that it may have an early and liberally extended trial. be ‘Talk of 2 conditions wa side: —_—_ «2 —____— Fifty Years Ago. Secretary Sherman says that the news- papery fifty years ago were more carefully edited than now. However this may be, there is an idea afloat that the utterances of Secretaries of State were more carefuily edited fifty years ago than now. _—— see Mas it occurred to the police to louk urder Foultz’s bed for that fugitive? e ———_ se eo—____ The Wolcott Commission. e reply of the British government to the Wolcott Commission postponing until October a definite answer on the question of international bimetalism finds several interpretations. In one quarter ft is con- Strued as indicating Great Britain's re- fusal to participate in a conference; in another quarter it gives hope to the bimet- allists, while in a third it provokes incon- elusive speculation on general lines. One thing appears to be clear, and that is that the British government finds the question as presented one of importance. Those who opposed sending the commis- sion abroad insisted that Lord Salisbury Would make the shortest work of the mat- ter. They doubted if, even on a point of courtesy to the United States, he would call the matter to the attention of his cabinet. He would give his answer, po- Mtely, off-hand, in the negative, and the American commissioners would be able, if disposed, to take the return ship home. There has been a mistake in thts. Not only has Lord Salisbury not given his an- swer off-hand, but he confesses to the {n- terest Great Britain has in the matter’ by asking for an extension of time in consider- ing it. A great deal of importance attaches to his answer. His difficulties are very great. He, and hig nephew Mr. Balfour, and sev- eral other strong men in his cabinet are classed as pimetallists, but, powerful as they are, they are not powerful enough to commit the government, of thelr own mo- tion, to a new financial policy. Vast moneyed interests are to be considered and consulted in a matter of such transcendent moment to the whole realm. The regrettable feature of the delay is that {t must cut short the visits the sp2- cial commissioners will subsequently make to Germany and Russia in the event Lord Salisbury’s answer is favorable. Had the answer been favorable and promptly re- ceived, the special commissioners would have set out at once on their further travels and been home in time to prepare a full report to Congress at its reassembling in December. As the case now stands but a little more than a month will remain toe them between the receipt of Lord Salis- bury's reply and the ist of December. However, it may not be necessary for the commissioners to go further except for a brief call if Great Britain agrees to a con- ference. ————_+ += —_— Noiseless Overhead Ruaflways. A substance known as iron felt has lately been put on the market in Germany as a remedy for the noise of heavy machinery. It promises to work great reforms in some lines, especially in the urban transportation of passengers and freight. The material 1s cemposed of fibers, ingeriously woven or beaten into a mass that while practically proof to sound vibrations is yet hard enough to resist the wearing action of heavy pressure. When placed beneath the rails of railroads it reduced the noise to a barely appreciable rumble, instead of the rattle and clang that are So familiar to all who live near such lines. Some of the street railway tracks of Berlin have already been equipped with this felt and the effect has been, according to reports, to diminish the street noises in a most delightful de- gree. It would seem that the elevated roads of New York and other cities afflicted with the need of such means of rapid transit would afford a fine field for a material of this sort. It will be remembered that many efforts were made shortly after these ele- vated systems were put in operation to find a@ noise-deadening substance, but it was reported to no purpose. The tracks of Berlin's elevated road are now so bedded in gravel that the vibration and scund from them are not especially annoying even in the spaces directly under the railroad struc- ture, which are utilized as wine-houses and for other business purposes. If this inven- tion meets expectations it will practically remove cne of the main objections to ele- vated roads in this country and reduce the ecst of this form of structure by increasing the availability and desirability of the space under the tracks for the Same pur- peses for which it is now utilized in Berlin. Washington takes a practical interest in the matter, for the ideal railroad system of lecal terminals as a substitute for the pres- ent network of surface tracks is found in the Berlin masonry viaduct, with noiseless tracks overhead, and the space underneath occupied and utilized. ——-+e—____ The fact that mails are to be carried to the Klondike region once a month will be @ great relief to the stay-at-home people who feared that the adventurous members of their families might be deprived of op- pertunities to write for remittances. ——~+e—___ Tobacco in coming to this country ab- sorbs a great deal of moisture and import- ers are compelled to pay duty ‘on the extra weight.

The scientific world has been paying pretty close attention of late to the mos- quito. As far back as 188) it was known that the bite of this pestiferous little crea- ture, if given in certain parts of the body, weuld cause death. Common experience had long since determined the fact that the bite of the mosquito was a most annoying, irritating feature of summer existence, but when men and women began to die from mosquito bites, that being positively knowa to be the cause of death, science com- menced to take an active interest in the matter. One of the first determinations was that only the female mosquito bites human beings, the male remaining at home attending to domestic affairs. Thus it is to be seen that in this enemy of mankind does the new woman of the end of the century find her prototype. There has been a great deal of trouble this year from mosquito bites, and in the vicinity of some of the large cities near the seashore the insects have been so numerous as to become a veritable epidemic. Several serious cases have resulted from the bites, and now it is arnounced that the dangerous disease known as anthrax can be and is communi- cated by the mosquito. This disease has its origin in decaying or diseased animal matter, ard the mosquito not only is bred in such matter, but feeds upon it. Thus the insect becomes a direct medium for the bacilli of anthrax to reach the human sys- tem, in which they thrive. There are cer- tain spots, of course, where the bite of the mosquito is more dangerous than others, notably tmmediately behind the ear, where large veins approach so near the surface of the skin that the puncture made by the ecmposite proboscis of the mosquito may readily penetrate the walls of the vessels and thus send the poison directly into the system through the heart. The mosquito pest this year has materially affected the business of the summer resorts, and in some places radical measures have been taken to discourage thg insects. For instance, at one place on Staten Island the marshy ground near the hotel was sprayed with petroleum, which killed the mosquitoes and ended the plague that until then had been unbear- able. —>0>—______ Vice President Hobart. It is to be observed that the Vice Presi- dency under this administration is coming in for a new but justly due share of promi- nence and attention. There have been jokes cracked at the expense of that office. It has been called the fifth wheel of the governmental coach. The incumbent has been described as a gentleman of leisure, j wholly without irfiuence or consequence. Stories have been told—some of them prob- ably true—of the exceedingly slight rela- tions that have existed between the first and second officers of the government. A certain Vice President told this story on himself: The last year of his term had ar- rived without his having been consulted by the President about anything, when he received a summons to the White House, He responded immediately, filled with curi- osity. What could the matter be? The President received him in his private office, and handing him the rough draft of a ‘Thanksgiving proclamation asked his opin- jon about the phraseology. The Vice Presi- dent confessed that his pride sustained a fall, but he approved of the wording of the prociamation. Mr. Hobart and his yokemate ure mak- ing a new record. They are seeing a good deal of each other, and apparently are pleased with each other. During the extra session of Congress Mr. Hobart was re- peatedly at the White House, and the so- cial relations between the two families grew to be very cordial. Mr. Hobart and his family are now, by invitation, mem- bers of the presidential party in New Eng- land. The good pecple of that section are saluting the two men together, entertain- ing them together, taking the measure of the full ticket they helped to elect last No- vember. It is a very pleasing sight, and it is worthy of remark, as well because of its unusual as because of its appropriate char- acter. Probably no two men ever filled the of- fices of President and Vice President who were in more perfect agreement on na- tional issues than are Mr. McKinley and Mr. Hobart. They began last year’s cam- paign by conferring together at Canton, where Mr. Hobart had gone at Mr. McKin- ley’s invitation, and all subsequent devel- opments have served to bring out their close and workable alliance. They are yokemates, therefore, in the fullest sense of the term, and as such they are pulling together, Mr. McKinley is not demanding the whole of the road. Knowing his yoke- mate to be worthy of his place in the team, he appears to be glad to have him at his side. The arrangement is natural, and it seems to be good. ae If, as General Weyler says, the Cuban insurgents are “bandits,” it will cost Spain @ startling sum to ransom all the soldiers whe have been missed from its army. +2 The fact that the Goulds are interesting themselves in Alaska is convincing proof that there is going to be a great deal of money made up there before long. ——_~+o—-— As a lowering of the quality of cigarettes is generally considered impossible, an in- crease of their price as a result of the tax may be regarded as inevitable. ——__ + +e —___ It should be remembered in connection with the Klondike discoveries that the men who experience failure are not able to get back to tell about it. et The addresses exchanged by the czar and the kaiser have something of the convinc- ing rhetoric of a commencement day essay. ———_++2—____ The courage which Mr. Depew has shown en his bicycle has Jed some of his friends to suggest him for mayor of New York. ———_ e = ____ There were only one hundred and ninety- seven men working today on the new city Post office se OU INE gate If peailistalcoatin vet tolaavotetia continue to devote themselves to base ball, {t will prove a notworthy re- lief to the stage.

From the Philadelphia Times. Secretary Sherman. said that newspapers are not edited now as carefully as in earlier days, and the National Intelligencer was referred to as a model of carvful editing. In point of fact, with reasonable care a capable man could edit a newspaper with great ease a half century ago, as there was little to edit and newspapers were a luxury prepared only for intelligent readers who were able to pay a very high price for them. There was no telegraphic news and newspapers as a rule were simply compila- tions without leca] editors or correspond- ents. Now the editor of a newspaper has to handle a score of editors, several scores of repcrters and a thousand correspondents, including special and Associated Press. —or+e—____.

Of those who buy these, here and there one will reap an unexpected and gratt re- ward. Most will lose their money. The “eats and dogs” always advance with the rest when the market is “booming.
