SUNDAY, OCTOBER '27. 18W. EIGHT PAGES. Consignments of cartridges rot- the Cuban Insurgents have been eoneealed I in dolls shipped from the United States to persons In Cuba. The seizure of the island of Trinidad Is likely to Involve Great Britain in a serious dispute with Brazil. The only tiBe it has for the Island Is for a cable 'station. All the messengers In the employ of the American Express Company in the .West have been furnished an outfit of Winchesters and revolvers to resist train robbers. A Wichita man drowned himself be? cause his wife scolded him. It may be] necessary lor the new woman to re? prove her husband, but she should doj it gently and kindly. "The curious thing about my busi? ness," said the mosquito alighting soft? ly upon the nose of the sleeping victim. "1b that it's more fun to go to work ihn if | It Is to stay to hum." Various suggestions suggest that Marlborough is still mad over that po? lice experience. But where there's so much money why worry about a cop? per'.' asks the Philadelphia Times. It is how stated that Gov. Clark, of 'Arkansas, hud prepared a proclamation calling a special session of the Legis? lature in the event that the law was decided in favor of the prize lighters. Miss Vnnderblll's wedding outfit in? cludes forty pairs of shoes. She will be well-fixed to do a little kicking if things do not go to please her after the] ceremony, remarks the Savannah News. ?Wages are still Increasing, and the industries of this country are all pros? pering. This isn't very encouraging to poor Calamity McKinley, but it's a fact nevertheless. The Wilson tariff does the blZ-_ "Well." remarked the professor as| he saw preparations for running elec? tric wires through his hitherto pictur? esque street, "things have changed | since Kosoiusko's day. The poles have everything their own way now." B. Harrison's political shrewdness | teems to be in a good state of preservu '? tlon, whatever else may be said of him j He lias inspired a public statement that he does not wish to be held responsible in any way for the McKinley bill. A Philadelphia man discovered $15.000' - in bills in a log of wood he was about to split up for kindling. It is suggested 1 that this hint might be utilized by . housewives whose husbands are back? ward about the use of the hatchet. .. The First Assistant Postmaster-Gen? eral Informs the Chicngo Times Herald ! that the department has received re? ports from Its inspectors with regard to 800 Chicago lptter carriers, 642 of whom are all right. Charges are pending : against 176. As diplomatic relations between Great Britain and Venezuela have been bro? ken off the British ultimatum is sent through the German Foreign Office. . Great Britain claims that the boundary dispute ban been settled and that It is y not involved in this controversy. Musical circles and lovers of art In ; the higher forms will experience the : most wrenching shock of their lives u,\vhen they come to fully realize the news that Paderewskl. the adored, the tri? umphant, the worshipped, has cut his hair, not trimmed it, but cut it short. The Washington Star says: The war feeling In London against Russia de? velops the fact that Great Britain has a ?"Monroe doctrine of her own. They call It the "balance of power" on that slde of the Atlautic. When the United Estates shows any similar symptoms the Londoners declare that It is all "Yankee j.fclustcr." What a'difference the point \~4M view may cause! EDUCATING THE NEGROES. Some of the newspapers at the North of us seem to be greatly stirred UP over the action of the South Carolina Constitutional Convention relative to the educational qualWcallon for voting in that State, and some of them assert that It wilt lead to theilisfjualitlcatlon of $,000,000 negroes In the South, but this Is a mistake. For many years the Southern States have maintained pub lie schools for the whites and blacks alike, and what Is more, the whites have footed the bills. While the white people of the South have received no more benefit from the public schools than the blacks, they have paid ten times as much money to maintain them. No people tinder the sun would have | done the same as the white people of the South are doing In this regard, and yet the so-called friends of the blacks living ut the North of us howl and howl without cause. The burthen has almost entirely been: the while .nan's. The following table, giving the number of negro children attending the [public schools in lS'.lO in the Slates J named, will give a pretty good Idea of what the South Is' doing towards their education: Negroes attend- Total Iiik public negro pop schools, illation.

And this is nothing new?the public schools in the South have been open to them Tor three decades, and the same is the case to-day. ENGLISH OPINION OPCVBA. The Cuban question Is beginning to I awaken some Interest in England, and the Pall Mall Gazette expresses sur? prise that so little iterest has been heretofore taken In a matter of so much j importance. It calls attention i to the fact that England owns the Ita hamas north of Cuba, and Jamaica to I the South of It. anil It advances the opinion that the question of the mas? tery of the Island will sooner or later [present Itself, it does not think that cither England or the United' States will ever attempt anything like seiz? ing Cuba, yet It suys that English In? terest in the Island geographically and commercially are so strong that the contingency of England entering Into competition with tho United States for the coveted prise should bo borne in mind. The Gazette points out to the English people the advantages which Cuba would be to Great Britain, and from the tone of that paper It is clear that Interest in the Until settlement of the Cuban question Is growing In England. Of course, now that these things are known the Government at Washington will keep a closer watch upon the movements of "John Bull" In all Cuban matters than heretofore, and any attempt of the British Govern? ment to negotiate for the possession of the "Pearl of the Antilles" will meet with n severe rebuke. England would no doubt like to have the island, and would not hesitate to get it by any means in her power If permitted to do so. This, however, will never be al? lowed by the United States, no matter what might he Ihc cost. ANOT1I EU CATALOGUE or WOKS. Uay by day the cup of sorrow of thc| calamity howlers tills to overflowing, and misfortune falls thick and fasi upon them. One day it is news of an increase in wages; another day brings! news of an increase in prices. Plrst It is iron, then ii is cotton and on every hand the monthly statement of rail? road earnings shows Improvement. All this, remarks the New York World, Is as Kitll and wormwood to the cala? mity howler, who will have no prosper- j ity except ihnt created by taxation and no business transacted except that sub? sidised by protection. Yet it is Impos? sible either to evade or suppress the f.tc's tnd figures wolch show the steady inarch of returning prosperity. Her? are the postoffice returns for the third quarter of 1805 as compared with lM't an increase of $tititi.7:>0. or nearly \<? per cent. In New York the increase from $1,705,003 last year is $131.525, or 7 per) cent.; In Chicago the increase is 13 per cent.; in St. l.onis It! per cent.,and simi? lar Increases in every large city. As our contemporary says, of course, people do not pay postage for the sake of spending money, but of making money. The postal earnings are a trade indicator. As trade goes down they ti>> down. When they go up it means that trade Is going up. Truly the lot Of the calamity howler is getting to be a bard one. The worst of it is tltat the balder it j;ets the belter the people are pleased. THE AMOUNT Of YELLOW METAL. Ofllclal data presented by the New York Journal of Commerce shows that $180,000,000 of Kold was produced in 1J>84, which was an Increase of $2;!,0U0. 000 over 1803, and it Is said that this was something like $30,000,000 more the yellow metal than In the period when tha California and Australian mines were producing most. From the huiiit- source it is learned that in the calandcr year of 1895 It is probable that the production will be ?200.000,000 of Bold. 11 also shows that in the years 1R93. ?94 and '05 the addition to the world's supply of gold will have been $537,000, 000, which Is likely to prevent the "Bold famine" the sllverltes have been pre? dicting.- The world In 1*03 used about Jin.ooo.ooo worth of gold for jewelry, etc., but the rest took its place in the world's currency. The Baltimore Sun says that "In the next few years there is a prospect or a great development or gold mining in South Anita and elsewhere, its produc? tion in South Africa in 1895 is estimated at about $40.000.000. but when the many new mines now being opened there be? come productive the output will pro? bably double. A world's production or $200,000,000 of gold annually will most probably be witnessed within the next live years. NOTES ANDOPINIONS, A car famine exists on some of the trai.s-MlsslsslppI It ads tnd It Is Impos? sible to move the wheat and corn crops rapidly. The Thomas Iron Company, of Allen town. Fa.. btts advanced the wages of the employes in per cent. THis is the second advance in two months in these mills. Train robbers held up a train on the Missouri. Kansas and Texas, road near Temple, Tex., and tried to blow open the express sale with dynamite, but were unsuccessful. Newspa peril om says: Newspapers arc the principal text-books of Americans, and when advertisements are as fresh and interesting as news position sinks Into Insignificance. Chairman Carter, General Clarkson and "liosii" Platt are said to favor Chicago or Plttsburg as the place for the next Republican National Conven? tion and June 10th as the dale. The captain, Ills wife and seventeen men. comprising the crew of the steam? er City of Augustine, reported burned at sea. were landed at lioston Friday morning by the steamer City or Maeon. Of course ibe roaring sea s? rponl has never been so numerous or so large as since the passage of the Wilson bill. This is but another of the unanswer? able arguments in favor of getting back to McKinley Ism, says the Detroit Free Press. PERSONALS. Princess Victoria, of Wales, Is a cigar? ette smoker. M. Faure, President of the French, Is a skilled swordsman. Lord Justice Ittgby Is one or the safest shots on the English bench. The ringer which is absent from one of Mr. Gladstone's hands was lost in his younger days while out shooting. Mr, Glltin, the statistician, says thai In Great Britain the average wages per annum for men is $195 and for women $125. A writer in an Austrian paper says that Prince Bismarck's family is "or Bohemian origin, and that the name was originally spelled "Dltschek." Sir Henry James wears the shabbiest clothes, perhaps, of any celebrity of the day. His tall hats are. however, al? ways conspicuous for their immaculate glossiness. Henry Miller and Charles Lex. two California men, own more than 14,000, 000 acres of land in three States. This joined would make a property half the size Of New York. For seventy-three years lOdward John? son, or M iddletown. Ct., has been a voter, and he prides himself on the fact that he has never voted anything but the Democratic ticket; The CIlIlllrCB.
