There is no more probability that the independence of Cuba will be recognized by the United States during President Cleve- land’s administration than there is of Groyer Cleveland becoming president of the Cuban republic, and, unless McKinley is misrep- esented by Republicans who are supposed to enjoy his confidence, - the present policy will be contin- tied by him until there is some decided change in Cuba. The resolution for the independence of Cuba which has been reported to the Senate will, of course, be made the basia of a Jot of speech- es when Congress reassembles, but more of them will be devoted tothe claim of the administra- tion, that the President alone has the power tu recognize the inde- pendence of anation than to Cuba or anything connected with the uvfortunate island. Whether a vote on the resolution itself will be had before the expiration of this Congress is a maiter of deubt, but not much importance, as it has already been given out by the Republican leaders of the House that the resolution will not be allowed to come before that body at all. The constitutional question involved in the claim of the administration is au important one, and one upon which men who are regarded as able lawyers differ regardless of politics, and the debate upon it will be in no sense partisan. There is practi- cally no precedent, though sev- eral have been cited as having a bearing upon the claim. And after all, nothing short ofa de- cision of the United States Su- preme Court will be acccepted as settling it. Senator Morgan, of Alabama, has never set up fora wit, but if he gets off a few more flashes like his answer to Senator Vest’s irquiry as to the meaning of that clause of the President’s message dealing with the Pacific Railroads the title will be forced upon him. Mr. Morgan was urging action to protect the people of the Pacific coast from those raiiroads, or rather from the men who control them, when Mr. Vest made his request. Torning like a flash, the Alabama Senator said with a deprecatory gesture: “Now in all Egypt there was only one . moan, and he was divinely inspired, who could interpret the dreams of Pharoah, The Senator ought! net to ask me to interpret the _ President's message. If any man is capable of interpreting tie messi it is the Senator trom : The Government isn’t expect - a War with Spain, but if war : oy ae ‘ \| | garaly be as wel] | his home three miles from town. lif there should be war at short notice, and sucha program was prepared and is now in the hands of Secretary Herbert. It isas true today as it was when written by Macauley that, “Where’er ye shed the honey, the buzzing flies will crowd.” ‘There is going to be honey shed by the republican tariff bill, and the flies, iv the shape of those who are an ticipating benefits through pro- tection are already crowding Washington hotels, preparatory to telling the republican members of the House Ways and Means Committee, at the hearings which are to begin next:week, just how much interest they want on their campaign contributions. Representatiye Barham,of Cal., ‘|thinks the Pacific Railroad fund- ing bill, which is to be considered by the House forthe four days beginning January 7, can be de- feated. He said: “lf we cau get enough time to show the whole thing up, I am satisfied that many votes will be changed. The pas- gage of the present bill is a pres- ent of $100,000,000 to C. P. Huut- ington and his associates. If it become known that the U. 8. is going to treat thase debtors like it does all others there will be plenty of buyers at thefull vatne of the property.” coe = time No Rest for the Editor. eee nen Vacation comes sometime in the year in most lines of business, but the newspaper goes on every day and every week in the calen- dar. The sanctum is rarely closed for the grind is unceasing. Hach issue must be a new paper in ail its departments. The clergyman, the lecturer same sermon or speech to differ- ent audiences, but the editor can- not repeat the same matter in bis paper. His labor and his re- sources must be ample in order to meet the requirements.—Newspa- per Maker. pane psec nm Among the members of the House who did not go home to spend their Christmas are a num- ber of Republicans who were re- elected to the next House, and who prefer to stand their office- seeking constituents off with let- ters which do not commit them, iustead of meeting them face to face and being compelled to com- mit themselyes. The little post- masterships are especially trouble some to the Representative elect on account of the numerous ap- plicants tor them. For instance, one Represontative from New Jersey has received among other applicationsfor a single postofiice in his cistrict, one from each of three men who were delegates ro the convention that nominated him and who took active parts in his campaign.

Butter and Willi, Crandall, a younger brother of David, went to the. house of. John Keel and after drinking some all went off rabbit, hunting. When near the residence of Tios. J, Sheppard Keel proposed, a wrestle with Butler, Butler says he told him he did not want to wrestle but Keel put kis gun down ana ran at But- ler and threw him nearly down and when he got up Keel ran at him again and Butler threw him down twice. The last time he threw Keel, Keel got up and said he could whip him if he couldn’t throw him and catching up his gun shot at Butler. Butler show- ed aad scar acro:s his han d where Le knocked the gun off when Keel at- tempted io shoot him. David A. Crandall had been stand- ing off not takng any part in the row and when Keel shot at Butler and fail ed to hit him he ran at Crandall and snatched the latter’s gun from him and ran back a few feet and fired at Cran- da'l, the load taking effect just below the right collar bone.

It was the last story but one that suggested this one which Major Pembroke told abgut his old friend, Captain Porlake of the-—th artillery. ams in Boston harbor. Near the fort there is a place where, owing to the position of the islands and the peculiar conformation of the shore, there is always a deep, strong eddy, no matter which way the tide sets. The eddy is well known because the body of nearly every person drown- ed along the shore anywhere near itis recovered there. It happened that one afterneon a small party of men came to Cavtain Porlake, who) was commandant of artillery at Fort, *! Adams, andtoilhim that a friend} of tkoirs had been drowned a few | days écfore an that they had been! |unakle to recover the body by the, usual mehods of dragging and usin | grappling irons. They recalied tho, fact that bodies will sometimescome to the surface if a gun is fired over still water, and they asked Captain Porlake if he would send a detach- ment of men with a gun to help them recover their friend’s body. Captain Porlake had been spend- ing the morning at the club and was in very good humor. “‘Certainly, gentlemen,” he said in answer to the request. ‘I'll go myself.” So he did, witha gun and its crew, in as much state as if he were going Porlake was stationed at Fort Ad-|_ ting out their ‘boat’ to“récover “the | body, the captain turned to his men, and shouting ‘‘Unlimber!”’ prepared to return to the fort. Just as he was about to give the order to march one of the civilians came up and said: — pi “We are very sorry, Captain Por- lake, but this is not the body of our friend. Everybody who is drowned near here comes to this eddy even- tually, and our friend’s body must be here. Would you mind firing another gun?”’ ‘Timber!’ shouted the captain, by way of reply. ‘Load! Point! Fire!”’ Civilians and soldiers both watch- ed the effect of this shot, and all saw at the same time two bodies reach the surface. : “There, gentlemen,’ exclaimed the affable captain. ‘Take your pick.’’ . Then he turned to the return march again. Just as his men were starting one of the civilians ran up. “Captain Porlake,”’ he said, “we are very sorry to trouble youagain, but neither of these bodies is that of our frend. Many men are drown. ed near here every summer. Is it asking too much to ask you to fire one more gun?” “Sir ’ he said to the astonished civilian, ‘‘do you think this is a general ‘resurrection?
