The Indications are tout this govern ment is) prijxaring to make certain de mands upon Spain, and upon the Spanish reply to these demands will depend whether or not there is to be a coullict. in ail probability these demands will have to do with the Cuban question direct, rather than with the Maine disaster, for it is B-till impossible to believe .that tne court of inquiry will tlx responsibility for tile Maine explosion on the Spanish gov ernment. It may be, however, that the clement of doubt may enter so strongly into the court’s finding that the Spanish government, whether rightly or wrongly, will be compelled to accept responsibility tor tile disastei. Hut the real cause for radical action upon the part of this government lies in tile character of the conflict now being waged right at our doors. There is suf ficient evidence to warrant the belief that tile Cuban war has been and is still being conducted on lines altogether outrageous, inhuman and out of harmony with civil ized ideas. Indeed, to such an extent is this true that there really seems to be some provocation for interference on the part of this government. At least as much us there was for the interference of Euro pean powers in the Armenian trouble. Un doubte-dly a certain amount of moral re sponsibility rests upon this government, and everything indicates that President McKinley is about to be controlled by overwhelming public sentiment in dealing with the matter. It is highly probable that along with the transmission to congress of .the court of inquiry's report on the Maine disaster will be sent a message recommending inter ference in Cuban affairs, and it is a fore gone conclusion that congress Will give the president all the support he desires in such an undertaking. It will then depend upon Spain to say whether or not war with this country shall be necessary. Ida Wells Aga in. A Washington dispatch brings the infor mation that Ida Wells, the young negro woman who gained some notoriety a year or two ago in connection with the lynch ing evil, has bobbed up again, this time in connection with the recent killing of a negro postmaster in South Carolina. It is not surprising that Ida Wells, or ns she is referred to in the dispatches, “Mrs. Ida Wells Barnett” should take ad vantage of the South Carolina incident to gain some more notoriety, but it is sur prising, and disgusting, that prominent white men, United States senators and congressmen, and even the president him self, should dance attention on her. A Washington special says she presented to the president u few days ago a set of res olutions adopted at a mass meeting in Chicago, denouncing the recent murder in South Carolina and requesting the presi dent to use his best efforts to bring the perpetrators to justice. The dispatch goes on to say that “Mrs. Barnett,” who has been actively engaged for several years in arousing public senti ment on the lynching question, w-as accom panied to the White House by Senator Mason and Representatives Belknap, Lori mer, Mills, Foss, White, Boutelle and Mann, of the Illinois delegation. , President McKinley assured “Mrs. Bar nett," in response to her remarks, that the postoffice department and the department of justice were doing all in their power ito ferret out and punish the members of the mob and that the attorney general was now considering what further steps the government could take within the limits of Federal jurisdiction. It is not stated whether or not “Mrs. Barnett” dined with President McKinley or Senator Mason, or whether she slept in Regent Hanna's room at the White House, but the presumption is she was shown all the deference due her color. Population of the Southern States. The Southern Field presents the follow ing estimated population of the ten South ern states east of the Mississippi: Alabama 1,724,737 Georgia 2,175000 Florida 500,000 Kentucky2.soo,ooo Mississippil,sso,ooo North Mississippi North Carolina 1,515,000 South Carolina 1,750,000 Tennessee 2,000,000 Virginial,Boo,ooo In comparison with the estimate the population as given by the last census is of interest: Alabamal,sl3,ol7 Georgia 1,837.353 Florida 391,422 Kentucky 1,858,635 Mississippil,2B9,ooo North Carolina 1,617,947 South Carolina 1.151,449 Tennessee 1’769*518 VlrKinia 1,655,980 Mr. Berner and the Platform. Judge Atkinson has insinuated that Can didate Berner does not stand squarely on the Chicago platform. To which the At lanta Journal replies: “What difference would it make if he did not? It would neither make him fit or unfit for the place he seeks.” It would make just this difference with the Journal and others of its kind; the less Berner likes that platform, the more will they like him. Notwithstanding the Jour nal's words, it is evident that it considers Judge Atkinson’s charge something of a recommendation for Mr. Berner. Colonel Candler's ideas about joint de bates between Democrats are most excel lent. There’s no use creating discord just because there appears to be no other way to keep up the excitement.—Albany Her ald. Douglass Glessner intimates that he op poses Candler because he sometimes “cusses." Glessner’s high moral ideas ■will cause him to flock to himself entirely itftgr awhile if he doesn’t curb them. A Comparison The supreme court of Georgia yesterday j granted a new trial in the case of Flan- ' nagan. the DeKalb county murderer whose case has been in the court® so long. And in granting a new trial tlie Supreme Court makes it very clear thal the question of a criminal's sanity i- to be fully and fairly considered. The court especially holds that the trial judge must charge the jury upon the incanity law where the plea of insanity is set up. » In other words, the state of Georgia is not willing to convict any criminal, be his crime ever so black, until all doubt as to his sanity has been removed. It will be borne in mind that Flanna gan's sanity has been twice toted; first on a proceeding lunatko de euquirendo, and again on the first regular trial of the . case. But the Supreme Court bolds that | the lower court erred in refusing to charge ' the jury on the Insanity law. So that the • qursiion of Flannagan’s sanity Is to be ■ tested once more and this time he is to have all the rights accorded him under i the law. Here is a man whose crime was as cold- i blooded and inexcusable—barring the pos- | sible question of his sanity—as any ever 1 committed. And yet the state of Georgia ! is patient in the extreme in its effort to ■ have all doubt as to his mental condition ■ removed. Let us compare this case with that of , Mrs. Nobles, a helpless old woman w-ho I has to die without the question of her can ity ever having been enquired into. This statement may not fully impress itself upon those who merely understand that her case has been in the courts for the i past three years. And yet it is a fact that if. Mrs. Nobles is put to death on the gallows next week, she will be executed without aH doubt as *o her mental and moral responsibility hating been removed. And it is because the courts have persistently refused to give her a hearing on the question of insanity taat they have been appealed to so often. And they have refused this hearing merely because her first attorney, appoint ed by the court, failed to make the plea on the first trial of the case, and failed to move for a new trial within the time al lowed by law. In other words, because she then slept over her rights, it has been impossible to have her case reinstated, and a hearing on the plea of insanity granted her—a mere technicality by which the state will defeat justice. Mrs. Nobles Is unquestionably an im becile. , And yet the courts have repeated ly refused to give her attorney an oppor tunity to make such a showing to this effect as would convince any body of rea sonable, unbiased men. She, a woman, a feeble-minded, helpless old woman, must go to the gallows, therefore, without hav ing had the benefits of such a trial as the Mate of Georgia, guarantees to Flanagan and other criminals perhaps less worthy of consideration. It is with the Pardon Board and the Governor alone to prevent such a miscar riage of justice. She has been barred from the courts upon a mere technicality. It remains to be seen whether or not the Governor and Pardon Board will save Georgia from the shame and disgrace of executing a feeble-minded old woman whose mental condition has never been investigated. It is for them to say whether or not she shall have the same rights that the Supreme Court eagerly accords to other criminals. Says the Albany Herald: “Colonel Candler’s letter to Judge Atkinson will certainly do him no harm. It makes in teresting reading and isn't calculated to afford much consolation to the South Georgian. Colonel Candler begins by as serting that he is a Democrat, and indorses -all of the planks, separately and collec tively, of the Democratic national plat form. If Judge Atkinson indorses them also, there is nothing for them to discuss. If, however, Judge Atkinson disagrees with any of them, he is willing to meet him on the stump and discuss them with him.” I have been afflicted with rheumatism for fourteeen years and nothing seemed to give me any relief. 'I was able to be around al Ithe time, but constantly suf fering. 1 had tried everything I could hear of and was at last told to try Chamber lain’s Pain Balm, which I did, and was immediately relieved and in a short time cured. I am happy to say that it has not since returned. —Josh. Edgar, Germantown. Cal. Ttor sale by H. J. Lamar & Sons. Iruggists. NEW YORK’S POSTMASTERS. A« Oflice That Seems to Lead to Higher Things or Long Life or Both. The first postmaster of the city of* New York got his commission from Thomas Jefferson. He was Tboodorus Bailey, a resident of Poughkeepsie. He was a Unit ed States senator, having as his colleague De Witt Clinton, but ho resigned his place in the senate to become postmaster of New York, which was then of about 75.000, and the postal business of which amount ed to a few hundred letters a day instead jf the present volume of business, which yields to the federal government a net profit off 0,000,000 a year. He had pre viously been a member of the legislature, be bad enjoyed the distinction which Mine to senators In the early years of the coun try’s life, and behold the office of postmas ter for 24 years. Andrew Jackson appointed the next postmaster, who continued in office for eight years. His name was Jonathan Cod dington. Nine years before his appoint ment Coddington was a member of the legislature, at a time when all the mem bers were elected on one. ticket, and he held the office of postmaster until John Tyler appointed another man in his place. Tyler’s propensity for appointing men in other men's places led to considerable friction In bis time, and it led, it is sup posed, to some of the denunciations which were made of Tyler, denunciations emanat ing from those who were displaced. Presi dent Pieroe appointed as postmaster of New York Isaac V. Fowler, who was an important personage in the politics of his day. He had as his successor John A. Dix, whose commission came from James Buch anan. General Dis—he was not then a general—was born in 1798, and at the time of his selection as postmaster he was known rather irreverently and certainly inaccurately as “Old Dix. ” He had pre viously been —27 years before— secretary of state at Albany; he had been a legislator and 15 years before had been chosen a United States senator. He was afterward assistant secretary of the treasury, and his acceptance of the office of postmaster of Now York was thought to round out his career. He was the second United States senator to become postmaster. So far from rounding out his career. General Dlx’s acceptance of the office of postmaster might truthfully bo said to have begun it again. In January, 1861, be was appoint ed secretary of the treasury of the United States, later on he became a general in the Union army, still later American min ister to France, and finally, on Jan. 1, 1873, governor of the state of New York. General Dix diedin April, 1879, at the age of 81 years. He was 62 when appointed postmaster. Two postmasters of New York were ap pointed during President Lincoln’s term —Abram Wakeman and James K: lly—and two during Grant’s term —Mr. Jones and Mr. James, both still active. President Harrison appointed Cornelius Van Cott nine years ago, and President McKinley reappointed him after the expiration of the four years’ tenure of Charles W. Dayton, appointed by President Cleveland. The office of postmaster of New York leads usually to higher things for those who leave it and to lorg life to those who don't. —New York Sun. Tha fao- "* /?

He Had to Abandon HU Horse and For Forty-eight Hours Carried on a Contest With His Life as the Stake. The following is a true wolf story written from data furnished by Dr Thornton of Lewisburg, Pa., vhofs fa ther figures as the hero: “About the year 1845 wolves were abundant iu Tomhickou valley, between Catawissa and Hazleton. When the Catawissa railroad, a part of the Phil adelphia ami Reading, was being built, Dr. Thomas A. 11. Thornton, a practic ing physician, one cold autumn uight was called out of bed to visit a patient about 20 miles from his home. At that time there were no regular roads as we now have. In their place the traveler used narrow paths or trails. Dr. Thorn ton iu his anxiety to reach the bedside of the sufferer attempted to make a short cut. He lost his way and for a week wandered through the wilderness and, having no gun, was obliged to subsist oil roots and herbs. The doctor was on horseback and after wandering aimlessly about the pathless forests for four or five days got into a large swamp, where the horse stepped into a quag mire, from which his owner was uuable to extricate him, and the animal had to be abandoned, imbedded as he was almost to his belly in the soft and boggy bed. The doctor removed the saddle bags containing his supply of medicine, etc., threw them over his shoulders and started off. “Several hours after the doctor got out of the swamp where he had aban doned his horse he was horrified to see that ho was being followed by a band of five or six wolves. At first they kept at a respectful distance when stones were thrown at them, but finally, as if they appreciated the helploss condition of their intended victim, and as dark ness came on, the hungry, bloodthirsty band became bolder and bolder. They circled ground the terrified and jaded man and, closing in, started to attack him on all sides. One more vicious and impulsive than the others made a spring at the doctor’s throat, but a well direct ed blow from a club temporarily dis abled the animal and caused his raven ous companions to discontinue at that time their premeditated and combined attack. “Thedoctor, by this thrilling episode and the frightened condition of the wolves, succeeded in going perhaps a mile unmolested when, to his great horror, ho found the whole pack, led by the vicious brute he believed he had maimed with his club, hot on his trail. The stunning blow administered to the leader of the howling baud seemed to have only intensified the brute’s cour age and thirst for blood. The man, weakened by long exposure and loss of food, realized that ho would soon be torn to pieces if be did not adopt some new means of defense. “Fortunately, as the animals began closing around him for another on slaught, ho reached a high rock and mounted on its top, where a giant tree served to protect him from falling back ward. He reached this eminence in time to provide himself with seme stones and two or three good clubs before his pur suers started to attack him. He stood back to the tree, and as the animals at tempted to come up he drove them back with his primitive weapons. A large stone hurled with great force and ac curacy broke the head of one of the as sailants, and this gave the doctor a breathing spell. “The man, however, realized that he must soon quit his refuge, and, remem bering that be had in his saddlebags a large bottle full of ammonia, he deter mined to employ it as a final resort to save his life. He quickly removed one of his green baize leggings, tied it se curely to a stick, and after saturating the legging with ammonia he boldly started down the rocky promontory to ward the wolves. The cunning animals, apparently aware that he could be more easily overpowered on level ground, separated, slunk off and permitted him to proceed several hundred yards before they renewed the pursuit. They did not, however, allow much time to elapse be fore they took the trail of the man who had thus far so successfully bullied their powers. “The doctor stood still and waited until one of the brutes rushed within an arm’s length, when he struck him m the face with the cloth saturated with ammonia. This reception was a most novel and unique one for the wolf, who ran off howling with pain. Two more of the band were slapped across the mouths with the saturated baize, and they also left. After this experience the wolves followed the doctor till day light next morning, when they gave up the chase, which they had continued for 48 hours and which unquestionably would have resulted in a most horrible death if it had not been for the contents of rhe ammonia bottle. “Dr. Thornton succeeded in finding a shanty occupied by the men construct ing the Catawissa railroad, where he was carefully cared for, and in the course of four or five days was taken to bis home, where he was ill for fully a month. ’’—-Philadelphia Record.

There is a thrifty Indian girl in the S<ger school in Oklahoma who has a surprising record for aptness, wit and good sense. When she became a pupil a few years ago. she had no education whatever and was apparently as nonprogressive as the others of her race, but in a short time she was earning money in the sewing room, ami a little later took a salaried place, such as the government allows to industrious learners who want to earn “pin money’’ outside of the regular study hours in the farm, sewing room or other departments. Out of her savings she bought a harness, team and wagon, a bedroom set and a sewing machine, all in view of her pro spective marriage to a young Indian. She saved some money, too, and did it all in three years. Not Reprehensible. “Hit nevuh pays,” said Uncle Ebon, “fob er man ter lose ’is temper.
