The tact that Mr. Bryan receives
$1,000 per night for lecturing- is evi

a dollar or two left to spend for
amusement purposes.

The mine owners who contributed
$650,000 to the Bryan campaign ex

Mr. Bryan's lectures. They should
receive something in return for
their very' generous donations.

There is no good reason why the
United States should pay foreign
nations $120,000,000 annually for
sugar when the article can be pro

surar beet raiser and the manufac

truly remarks that the republican
land-slide can restore confidence, but
unfortunately it cannot prevent the
treasury deficit from growing right
along under a democratic adminis
tration. When a.faclory closes these times
-r-and factories close even in the
most prosperous times an exultant
shout goes up from the demo-pops.

The friends of A. E. Cady, late

The state canvassing board has
decided that a majority of all the

The official count in Kansas
gives -McKinley 159,541 votes.
Bryan and Sewall 126,154 and
Bryan and Watson 45,124. The
democrats boast that the demo

and Sewall is the largest ever cast
in the state, and argues well for
the future of the democratic party
in that state. They assume that

GENERAL WEYLER'S EXCUSE FOR RE
TURNING TO HAVANA.
Openly Asserted-'In Havana That Ho "Be
came Frightened Stated in a' Cable
gram That His Itecall Is Aaired Now,
as the Spanish Government Is Incensed.
New York, Nov., 24. A dispatch, to
The World from Jacksonville, 3?kw
says: A cipher cablegram from Havana
to a Cuban leader says General Weyler
has been forced to return to Havana and
that the city is in great confusion.
Weyler gives no excuse, it is said, ex
cept that it is too hot and unhealthy to
do any fighting. It is openly asserted
.in Havana that Weyler became fright
ened because Maceo had set a price
upon his head for his capture. Wey
ler's scouts informed .him that Maceo
might make an attempt on Havana,, and
the Spanish general retreated in hot
haste to the safety of his palace. It is
also stated in the cablegram that Wey
ler's recall is assured now, as the Span
ish government is incensed against him,
for his dilatory tactics. Cubans here
are jubilant, for they think this will
have a favorable effect upon congress.
Spanish Inquisition Revived.
San Praxcisco, Nov. 26. News from
Manilla, brought by the steamer City of
Peking from Hong Kong, shows that
the Spaniards have resorted to torture
of the natives and half castes of the Phil
ippines which surpasses in its cruelty
that practiced by the Chinese mandarins
in cases of tho most atrocious crimes.
They are also charged with confiscating
the estates of wealthy half castes and
deporting these wretched victims to
Fernandopo, on the west coast of Africa,
a place which has a climate that quickly
proves fatal to the stranger. These
statements are. not given on the strength
of reports from refugees. James W.
Davidson, a well known correspondent,
was recently commissioned by the Hong
Kong Press to go to Manilla, and cau
tioned to evade the press censorship,
and in several letters which ho smuggled
through the lines he tells of what he has
seen and what he has heard on good
authority. According to him the in
struments of torture used in the Span
ish inquisition three centuries ago
have been kept in the monasteries of
Manilla, and were brought out recently
and used to extort confessions from na
tive and Mestizo suspects. He says over
3,000 suspects have been arrested and
kept in jail in Manilla, subjected to hid
eous treatment. Mr. Davidson also
intimates that the leading powers of
Christendom will be called upon to in
terfere and put an end to torture, which
revives the worst features ofjthe Spanish
inquisition.
Hebrews Are Indignant.
Cincinnati, Nov. 22. The Hebrews
of this city are indignant over the lan
guage in President Cleveland's Thanks
giving proclamation, exception being
taken to the words, "Asking a continu
ance of heavenly favor through the
mediation of him who taught us how to
pray." The proclamation will be dis
cussed in the synagogues today. Rabbi
Isaac M. Wise, the venerable editor and
theologican, is out in an interview re
gretting "that the president panders to
the passions of those bigoted sectarians
who have been endeavoring to under
mine the pure secularism upon which
this government is based." Other rab
bis are more severe in their language.
Rabbi Phillipson says tho Hebrews feel
excluded from the invitation to observe
the day.
Cleveland Makes a Personal Plea.
SacraiIento, Cal., Nov. 21. Gover
nor Budd has received from President
Cleveland a personal plea for commuta
tion of sentence in the case of Salter D.
Worden, under sentence of death for
train wrecking in Yolo county during
the railroad strike of 1894. The engi
neer and three United States artillery
men were killed in the train wreck.
The president states as a ground for his
interest in the case, that while a rcsi
of New York state, before his elevation
to the presidency, he had formed a great
friendship for Salter D. Wordcu's
mother, a music teacher. Governor
Budd has also received a personal ap
peal from C. P. Huntington, president
of the Southern Pacific- company, for a
commutation of the death sentence.
Inheritance Tax law Unconstitutional.
Chicago, Nov. 22. Judge Carter of
the county court has decided that the
inheritance tax law passed by the last
Illinois legislature is unconstitutional.
The decision -was rendered in the estate
of the late John B. Drake, proprietor of
the Grand Pacific hotel. Judge Carter
held that the law is in conflict with the
constitution, because it makes a classifi
cation of inheritances which is not uni
form. If the decision of Judge Carter
is upheld by the supreme court, it will
deprive the county of at least $500,000
this year and a steadily increasing an
nual revenue that would have amounted
in less than a decade beyond 1,000,000.
Between $30,000,000 and $40,000,000
worth of estates have been awaiting the
decision.
Jury Failed to Agree.

ing in a hostile expedition to Cuba.report
ed a disagreement in the United States
district court today and was discharged.
It is understood that the jury, which
was out all night, stood five for convic
tion and seven for acquittal.

ARMLESS WONDERS.
Painters "Who Have Achieved Great '.
With. "Their Teet.
A reporter "was strolling along ft
prominent thoroughfare on Walnut
Hills the other day, says tha Cin
cinnati Enquirer, when he came up
on a business room that was being
remodeled and improved prepara
tory to ocoupanoy. The carpenter
who was doing the work was a one
armed man, and not only managed
his hatchet and saw skillfully, but
was quite intelligent in conversa
tion. He did not appear to bemoan
the fate that had deprived him or a
good strong arm, but regarded it
with the air of a philosopher. He
said that he was not the only: one
armed carpenter in Cincinnati that
he knew of four or five others.
Another one armed man familiar
to residents of the hill, whose mis
fortune would seem to interfere
with his avooation, but doe3 not, is
the driver of one of the big oil tank
wagons. He does everything re
quired of a man with two arms in
such a position, from driving the
team to measuring out the oil and
delivering it to his customers.
Judging from the following in
stances, published in an English jour
nal, it would seem that the absence
of ono or even both arms need not
interfere with one earning one's
bread and butter:
"One of the leading Belgian artists
of the present day is a gentleman
who, in default of arms, paints with
his foot. His name is Fehu. He lives
at Antwerp, where he has a spaoious
atelier in the market pluce.
"He uses his supple feet, without
any apparent effort, to open his col
or box, clean his brushes, set his
palette and arrange his writing ma
terials. He puints with surprising
swiftness and delicacy of touch. It
may be said of him, too, that he
writes an excellent foot. One of his
friends says his writing is as bold,
free and flowing as any handwriting
with which he is acquainted. He is,
moreover, a man of gentle nature,
courtly in manner, of highly culti
vated intelligence and no less en
gaging in speeoh than in appearance.
"Earlier in the present century
there flourished another armless art
ist, a lady named Hawlin, who, be
sides painting very tolerable pic
tures, learned to do with her toes a
variety of interesting and ingenious
things out out watoh papers and
tho like. She grasped and worked
her scissors in some way that has
never been explained.
"Miss Biffin was only a trifle less
unfortunate. She was born without
toes or hands, and without any more
arm than was represented by a
stump cut short above the olbow.
Yot sho managed to make for her
self a comfortable living in the ar
tistic way.
"Sho painted miniatures with ex
quisite neatness and aoourucy and
added to this by cutting out paper
profiles with the aid of her mouth,
a pair of soissors and her two little
stumps. The Earl of Morton employ
ed her to paint some portraits for
him and introduced her to the notice
of royalty, who also patronized her
and put her in the way of obtaining
advanced lessons in painting from
one of the foremost men of the day.
He also gavo her a small pension,
with the aid of which she set up as
a regular professional. She fell in
love and married, but carried on her
work and was always known under
her maiden name."
The Chinese Specter Once More.
It seems very strange and ridicu
lous to western nations that such an
ingenious, and, in their way, learned
people as the Chinese should be so
ignorant, not only of western na
tions, but of matters immediately
concerning themselves and their
own country. But what if some day
the Chineso should, as a nation,
awako to what is going on in the
world? Suppose China's hundreds
of millions of people were to reor
ganize after modern methods and,
with drilled armies of millions of
en, set forth on a career of con
quest? That specter has more than
onco been conjured up by writers of
fiction, but is there any great im
probability about it, after all? Pos
sibly it is a good thing for the rest
of the world that China's peacoful
millions know so little of the great
events and movements of modern
history. Should they set out to
make history also after the modem
fashion some of the western nations
might regret that China had been
awakened from what seems the
charmed sleep of ages. Chicago JTn-

Tho Safe Lock.
It has been satisfactorily demon
strated that in patent locks having
what are known as "six steps" the
number of changes and sizes is al
most incredible. For example, one
of these "six step" locks of a size
hat may be reduced twenty times
maybe changed nearly 87,000 times.
Large sized locks may have as
many as 7,000,000 changes, and
small ones about 750.000 changes.
The chances of finding a duplicate
key, once a key is lost, are therefore,
