The tact that Mr. Bryan receives $1,000 per night for lecturing- is evi dence that the "masses" still have a dollar or two left to spend for amusement purposes. ' - ,-"!V- " i t The mine owners who contributed $650,000 to the Bryan campaign ex penses should be admitted free to Mr. Bryan's lectures. They should receive something in return for their very' generous donations. ' While the people of the United States were enjoying their Thanks giving feasts yesterday severity two million people in British India were-and are' still suffering from lack of food. 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 duced .at home with profit to both surar beet raiser and the manufac turer. , The Kansas City Journal very 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. They, however, do not pay any at tention to the hundreds of factories which have-resumed since Novem ber 3d. They will drop in one by one. The Florida Citizen stood by the Chicago ticket, but it now say: "The party must turn its back upon he unwise leaders who havs brought disaster upon it. It must return to the safer path laid out by its founders." The friends of A. E. Cady, late republican candidate for congress, are suggesting that he be appointed international revenue collector for Nebraska. The Tribune knows or no one who is better qualifid for the position -or who is more fully entitled to the appointment, The state canvassing board has decided that a majority of all the votes cast at the recent election are necessary to carry the consti tutional amendments. It is thought that about one third of the.total' vote was cast for the amendments. The business men of New York CiyVeems to know what the elec tion of McKinley means. The as sociated banks of New York for the week just closed show $5.SOO,000 increase In reserves $9,553000 in crease an loans and the enormous total of $21,9378000 increase in de posits? Every city of the land shows a proportional improvement. " More than 600,000 barrels oi American apples have already oeen shipped to Europe this fall. says""a New York paper, and the shipments are still- in progress. Evidently the effete monarchies of the old country have discovered that American fruit, like American enterprise, is hard to beat. i . General Weyler who sallied forth with the intention of forcing Maceo to give him battle or else suppress, the revolutionary forces in Pinar del Rio, has returned to Havana without accomplishing either of his. objects. His return may not be indicative of defeat, yet it will prove encouraging to the Cubanpatriots. 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 cratic vote, or that cast for Bryan 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 the, vote for Bryan and Watson rep resents the populist strength. Wayman McCreery, who was lately appointed Internal Revenue Revenue Collector for St. Louis, is probably the most accomplished office-holder in the service of the governments He has held the col lege record for the long-distance1 baseball throw, has been a cham piohmateur billiardist, is choir master ofChrist Church Cathedral, is-a good singer, has composed an operat.a'nd''!:presiden t ;of a sound money clubv P0LDTN ATEWWOKDS EVENTS OCCURRING IN ALLSECTIONS SUMMARIZED.

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."

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.

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. New York, Nov. 22.

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- ter Ocean. 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, as will readily De seen, rather re mote. New York Ledger.
