WASHINGTON NOTES.
"If Spain doesn't wish to see n initio
radical chaugo of sentiment in tho U.
8. in favor of Culm than that which
has recently takon place in favor of a
conservative coursu in dealing with
tho Cuban quustioti," replied a high
ofllcial, "sho will call off tho lying
press which sho has lately buon em
ployingin Europe" lis was referring
especially to tho report lirst published
in a Paris dispatch to tho London
Times, that Germany had intimated
t the U.S. government that if it took
any action calculated to aid the Cubans,
Germany would joiu Spain in making
war against us, It was hardly nec
essary for tho stato department to Uku
tho trouble to deny such rot as that
but its ollicials did so as soon as it was
published. It can bo stated on high
authority that no Eurcmcnti govern
ment has ever given tills government
tho slightest hint that it wished to in
terfere witli tho course this govern
ment was pursuing or was intending
to pursue towards Cuba. On the con
trnry, somo of them have given this

tt a
;ovcrnniont assurance that thoy
rould keep their hands off in case we
md any Iroitblo with Spain. Tho pub
lication of this report was tinqiicstlon
ibly intended to work upon public
sentiment in this country, nnd through
Mint sentiment upon congress nnd the
nesldetit; but oven if such a report
.veto known to bo true, it would have
in effect just tho opposite from that
nteuded. Americans have been out
wilted in diplomacy by European
nations, but they linvo never been
lightened by any of them or all of
hem, nnd what Is more, thsy never
vill bo. Americans don't want war,
but if they should iiuvo to light Spain,
thoy would much prefer lighting her
hacked by Germany to lighting her
ilono. Spain is regarded us such a
pigmy among thu world's nations that
hero would hi but littlo credit attach
ed lo thrashing her, but Spain assisted
by any of thu great European nations
would make u foe worth licking, if
war cannot be honorably avoided.
There is the usual aute-iutitiguratiou
talk in Washington nbotit having more
nrtistiostamls erected along Pennsylva
nia for those spectator who prefer lo
pay for the privllego of viewing Ihc
inaugural parade from a seat, but no
body really expects to seo anything
different from ihe usual rough board
stands which aro always erected by tho
speculators who buy that privilege
from tho inaugural committee, and
who, by tho wny, lose money much
oftenor than thoy make any. When
Inauguration day happens to bo clear
and fairly pleasant, tho owners of tho
street stands reap a harvest, but if it
is cold and stormy, tho scats on thu
stands aro almost empty. There is
plenty of inouoy contributed to the
inaugural committee to pay for tho
erection of stands both artistic and
comfortable, but it all has a string tied
to it, and the contributors expect the
committee to return it to them from
tho receipts for privileges and from
tho inauguration ball, and weo bo unto
tho committee which should fall to
meet that expectation. As a matter of
fact, these loans, for such tho contrlbu
tions ar considered, are nlways
roturncd, and it surplus is left that is
usually donatod to the poor by tho
inaugural committee.
In view of tho beginning of tho tnriff
hearings beforo tho majority of the
house ways nnd means committee to
day, it is interesting to note tho
geographical make up of thucommiltco
which will frame the tall IT bill to bo
passed at tho extra session of tho next
congress. Of thu majority, New Eng
laud bus two members, Chairman
Diugley and Husscll, of Conn.; tlto
middle states two, Payne, of N. Y
ana Dalr.oll, of Pa.; the middle west
four, Hopkins, of Ills., Grosvonor of
Ohio, Dolllver of Iowa, and Steele of
Ind.j the northwest two, Johnson of N.
Oak., and Tawnoy of Minn.; the south
ono, Evans of Ky. Tho minority
originally consisted of six, all from the
nouth, but owing tn tho deaths of
Crisp, of Ga., and Tarney of Mo., there
aro now two vacancies, which will al
most certainly go lo the south, but it
really makes no dilTorcnce whether
they are llllcd or not except as a per
gonal honor to the man chosen, as tho
minority of the committee will have
nothing lo do with the making of thu
now tariff bill.
Representative Curtis, of Kansas,
would be enjoying his holiduv much
more than he is if he could persuade
Secretary Francis to appoint thu til
lotingngents for thu Wichita reserva
tion, which the people of the south
west are anxious to have open to set
tlement. Mr. Curtis Insists that thero
are no legal obstacles to opening the
reservation, but Secretary Francis de-

Robbery at Icavalo.
Last Friday night as Kobt. Mooro
and licit Holdredgu came home from
a skating party between the hours of
IS and 1 they saw a Hash of light in the
storo of Kenyan Hros., ami thinking
something strnnga they gave the alarm
to llob. KenyoN nnd Ills father who
immediately ran down to the store.
While M. D. Kenyou watched at tho
rear window lioli Konyon and Kob
Moore went around in front and un
locking I lie door Uob Moore walked
boldly in. Just as he got well inside
he saw u man rniso up and take a step
forward. Shoving a big revolver into
his wotildbo captor's faeo tho thiof
ordered 'him to hold up his bauds.
"Geo whiz," said Bab, "he's in there"
atid made a bold strike for liborty
going out the door like a meteor. Uob
Konyon stood just outside the door
with a big revolver but tho robber
merely said "shove up your hands" to
him ami as he did so stepped forward
and took Rob's gun, then ordered him
to step around thu corner "nnd to bo in
a hurry ton" he said, shootitig at him
as he went.
After his captors were well out of
sight the thief walked away and was
seen no more.
In thu morning it was found that lie
had broken open the depot nnd taken
$3.00 in money but disdained to tako a
good revolver which was thero or u
nice pair of 11. & M. pants, often worn
by tho agent, which hung near.
This is tho si'cond time a thief lins
entered tho storo of Konyon Hros.,
within a mouth. Thu lirst time ho got
a good gun and eight cents all in
money of the realm.
WoMonoy Needed.
"It takes money to run a newspaper."
From tho St. John, Kansas, News.
What an exaggeration; what a whop
per,' It has been disproved a thousand
times; it is a clear caso of airy fancy.
It doesn't tako money to run a news
paper. It enn bo run wltLout money.
It is not a business venture. It is a
charitable institution, n begging con
cern, a highway robbery. U'Godfrey,
a newspaper is u child of the air, a
creature of a dream. It can go on and
on nnd on, when any other concern
would be in the hands of the receiver
and wound tin with cobwebs In the
window.
It tnkes wind to run a newspaper; it
takes gall to run a newspaper. It
takes coiutlllating, acrobatic imagina
tion, and half a dozen white shirts and
a railroad pass to run a newspaper.
Hut money heavens to Uolsy and six
hands around, who over needed mouey
in conducting a newspapert Kind
wurds are the medium of exchange
that do tho business for tho editor
kind words and church social tickets.
When you seo the editor with money,
watch him. He'll bo paying his bills
and disgracing his profession. Never
give money t an editor. Make him
initio it out; ho likes to swap.
Then when you did, after having
stood around for yenrs and sneered at
tho editor and his little jimorow paper,
be siiro and have your wife send 1m fur
three extra copies by ono of your weep
ing children, nnd whou sho roads the
generous and touching notice about
you, forewarn her to neglect to send 15
cents to the editor. It would over
whelm him. Money is n corrupting
thing. Tho editor knows it and what
he wants is vour heartfelt thanks.
Then ho cau thank tho printers and
they can thank their grocers.
Take job work to the job offices and
then come and ask half rates for the
church noticcj. Get your lodge letter
licnds nnd stationery printed out of
town, and then flood the editor with
beautiful 'thoughts in resolutions of
respect and cards of thanks. Thoy
mako such spicy reading, and when
you pick it up filled with these glowing
and vivid mortuary articles, yen aro
so proud of your little local paper.
Hut money scorn the lilthy thing.
Don't lot the puro, innocent editor
know anything about It. Keep that
for tho sordid trades people who
chargo for their wares. Tho editor
gives his bounty away. The Lord
loves u cheerful giver. Hu'll take euro
of the editor. Don't worry about the
editor. Ho has u charter from the
state to act as door mat for the com
munity. Ho will get the paper out
somehow; nnd stand up for tho town,
whoop it up for you when you run for
office, nnd lie -about your pigeon-toed
daughter's wedding, and blow about
your big-footed sous, when they get a
14 a week job, and weep over your
shrivelled soul, when it is released
from your grasping body, and smile at
your giddy wife's second marriage.
Don't worry about thu editor; he'll get
on. Tho Lord knows how but some
how. Emporia Gazette.

Eczema
111 Her Life,
Mr. E. D. Jenkins, of Lithonia, Ga.,
says that his daughter, Ida, inherited a
severe case of Eczema, which the usual
mercury and potash remedies failed to
relieve. Year by year she was treated
with various medicine i, external appli
cations nnd internal remedies, without
result. Her sufferings were intense,
nud her condition grew bteadily worse.
All the so-called blood remedies did not
scemtc reach the dis
ease nt all until S.
S.S. was given, when
mi improvement
was at once noticed.
The medicine was
continuecd with fav
orable results, and
tiow she is cured
sound nnd well, her
skiu is perfectly
clear and pure nud
she has been saved
from what threat
ened to blight her life forever.
S.S.S. (guaranteed purely vegetable")
cures Eczema, Scrofula, Cancer, Rheu
matism, or any other blood trouble.
It s a real bloc d remedy uud always
