Covington Ga., Oct. 12, 1897.
'SPANISH CABINET CRISIS.
The Spanish ministerial crisis
has passed, and a new cabinet has
been formed.
Following the death of Premier
Canovas, his entire cabinet resign¬
ed, and General Azcarraga was
chosen by the Queen Regent to
form a new cabinet.
The Azcarraga ministry was
chosen out the
party, and it was very short lived,
as it lasted only a few
weeks.
The conservative party in Spain
seems to be the real radical party
ot the country, and is the one that
formulated and maintained the
present war policy in Cuba, and
supported General Weyler in his
cruel methods of warfare against
the Cuban insurgents.
This policy has become very un¬
popular in Spain, and hence the
Azcarraga ministry could
not exist in the face of the opposi
tion it met on every hand.
And so, last week, all the mem¬
bers of Azcarraga’s political family
tendered their resignation to the
queen who then called Senor
Sagasta, a leader of the liberal par
ty, to the premiership, and he has
formed a cabinet out of that party.
V* -
has called around him the best men
of his party who were available for
the emergency of the situation,
and apparently the crisis has pass¬
ed, and the danger of a more se¬
rious rupture in the government
now seems to be over.
The new cabinet is pledged to
all sorts of reforms in the conduct
of the government, and especially
in the conduct of the war in Cuba.
General Weyler, it is announced,
has already been recalled, and a
more tender hearted and humane
ruler for the island will be sent to
Havana at once to take his place.
Complete autonomy is to be offered
the Cuban insurgents, on certain
conditions, with such other politi¬
cal reforms as may be demanded
by the Cuban leaders.
General Weyler, however, does
not propose to give up his job vol¬
untarily, and says he will not re¬
sign. Just what will be the out¬
come of his refusal to retire from
the control of affairs in Cuba re¬
mains to be seen. His forcible
removal by bis government may
become necessary.
The formation of a liberal cabi¬
net in .Spain means much for the
You Should Remember

Cubans; but whether it will be
weal or woe, remains for the lu
ture to determine. We are sure
the Cuban leaders will never accept
any propoalt.on from Spam „ . tat . .
complete and absolute independ
ence of her rule, They would act
unwisely to do so. The |
very
same liberal reforms were offered j
them during the ten years’ war.
by General Martinez Campos, and
when they had accepted the terms
and laid down their arms, the gov¬
ernment of Spain treacherously re¬
fused to carry out the terms of
their agreement.
On the other hand, while the
leaders of the insurrection will not
accept anything short of their ab¬
solute independence; yet, a liberal
line of policy may have the effect
to weaken the Cuban cause by
building up a Spanish party, with
strong Spanish sentiments, which
might have a demoralizing effect
those who have grown tired
of the war and its attendant hard
ships.
From a humanity standpoint,
however, the recall of General
Weyler is a matter of great satis¬
faction to all civilized and liberty
loving people, and for which the
suffering Cubans are to be highly
congratulated by all true Ameri¬
cans.
In the formation of a liberal cab¬
inet for Spain, that country has
won more
friends of humanity than she has
for all the battles she has ever won
in Cuba.

COVINGTON PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Our city schools have enrolled
during the first month of the pres
ent session H 20 pupils.
This is a larger enrollment for
(]m flMt m(m(h hM ^
made during the first month of
any other term since the schools
were organized.
The Music class is also larger
than u { a! , v time for the past few
years. ■ The pupils are unusually
regular in attendance, one very
seldom being absent except for
s } c p less.
Now that the grades have been
reduced from twelve to ten, the
teachers have more time to devote
to their classes and are doing more
successful work than ever._ \\ hat
has heretofore been done by pupils
during the first eight years of the
course is now to be accomplished
in six years.
This change has necessitated a
combination of the eight grammar
grades into six, thus increasing
the amount of work per grade.
Last year’s sixth grade is this years
sixth grade, and in order to make
Freshman class next Fall must do,
during the y^ar, seventh and
eighth grade work. And so with
the work of each
being increased and each one mak¬
ing in six years what has hereto¬
fore been accomplished in eight
years. grades
In reducing the number of
the fourth and seventh of last year
have been divided, a part of each
advancing to class above and a
part joining class below, To some
extent, a similar change has been
made in other grades, All of the
one hundred and sixty pupils m
the new six grades are expected to
reach the Freshman class, from one
to two years earlier than they
\\ ould have done under the eight
grade D system.
