Does tfao Soul Ii Want War?
;oept In a few eommuultlep, widely
toted, the South allows less Inter*
the Cuban troub'es than any seo
,of the couutry, meaning the
irrkory covered by this republic
?MHundnir howover that there is In
Ipse mtcrost throughout this country
Ukdbehidf of tho revolutionists it is
Jaturul'Vnd follows upon tho conditions
lurrounditag us. Tho island is hard by
>ur Southern borders; it is a perfect
Kem; and tho commercial intercourse
Rotweon tho two countries is large:
Ji(l second should the island become
Independent it is beyond peradventure
hat a republic would be established and
KB expectation is well founded that it
mild seek admission into this Union
pan independent State. Whether
Cleveland or tho Congress has the
'orbgativo to accord bell ig i rent
fgl'ts to the insurgents or recognine
le Independence of a government on
tfe island in tho teeth of Spain's
hrerelgnty, in either ovont wo must
tye trouble with European Powers.?
fe Indopondoneo of Cuba has little
fnificancc, but rocognitiou by tho U.
acting singly, will certainly provoku
atilitto8 from the great European
uwers. If tho Cuban revolutionists
'(ve out the Spaniard without assist,
[ce, in duo tlmo this country could
It and justifiably. It not uufre
cently happons that a great section
people establish u i>io facto gov
[ent and yet fail to lind their way into
ie family of nations. Jt would not bo
In tho cuso of Cuba. Upon no dc
int protoxt could the Great Powers
|)ld that her independence all'ccted
jelr interests, and upon their intor
jrenco, this Government could right*
?ly go to war, cost what it might.
[at wo should follow precedents and
right. Great Britain and tho U.
co-operated in acknowledging the
Hdependonco of tho Spanish American
rovldenccs. The United States has
B|t aotod singly except in the case of
oxas and Texas had fought a, pitched
kttle with Mexico, captured a great
tiny and its leaders, and was mistress
TO a vast territory and'had an estab
lished government. Of all people in
the world tho South does not want
war. A war with European Nations
means two thousand millions -to the
manufacturers of muitlon-j of war,cloth
ing, shoe , and rations, with a pension
roll to last to tho crack of doom.?
Bacon, Hour, and clothing and all arti
cles not produced at the South would
be advanced in price; cotton could not
cross the ocean and would rot in the
fields or under tho gin sheds. War
with Europe would bo disastrous to
tho South. Fortunately for tho coun
try Cleveland Is at the helm. Thoro is
ono viow of thu case constantly pre
sented that may mislead the senti
mental good Christian people, and it is,
that tho inhuman butchery should
Stop. As to this the great Christian
Powers of Europe are alike situated
with us, and if thu war should stop for
humanity's sake, all should join to put
an end to the strife. But this is not
what is wanted. The revolutionists
those at their back want autonomy
will not bo contented upon any
ier adjustment. It is all stulT about
ince helping our colonies against
gland. it was to her interest to
.ken England and hence her sympn
iy and aid to Washington and Erank
and their compatriots.

Great expectations are had of Cov
Kllerbo, the ingoing Govornor. The
Governor has little power, and much
patronage, notably in appointing whis
key officials. He has a nugativo power
in the veto, lie can not influence legis
lation and legislation at Columbia can
do but little ^ood. The Legislature can
do much harm, the Governor little
good for our prosperity. The less leg

at Washington Is omnipotent for weal

CURiOUS RELIGIONS.
Some Boots tlio Members of Which
Thought Tin y Couldn't Die.
Our congress-is prohibited by tho con
stitution from making laws respecting
religious views and theories. This being
the enso, fanatic.-; of all kinds have tnk
OU tho opportunity to propound their
views and make an effort to spread tbolr
doctrines. Within tho present century
not loys than a half dozen deluded mor
tals residing within tho limits of tho
United ; tales have claimed to bo Christ
returned to earth, and tho queer thing
in connection with tho ministry of Buch
fanatics is tho fact that thoy can per
suade p< rsous who uro supposed to hovo
a fair amount of brains to beliovo that
they are all they claim to be.
Since 1880 five different soots have
been founded in tho United States tho
members of which claimed tho ability
of either themselves or thoir foundor to
live forever. Each of these queer com
munities has been known by its neigh
bors as "the immortals," and each has
in Urn course of time come to grief, as
all HUoh visionary dreamers must. Tho
last deluded being to found a sect on
the theory that he himself, at least, was
immortal was David Pattorson, who was
known to his followers as "tho oyo of
Jehovah." The Patterson sect; wore
known as "the children of Zion." Thoir
headquarters were mainly at Grand
Rapids, Mich., although thorn wero up
ward <d' a dozen branch organizationsiu
tlr different states of tho Union. Pat
terson el aimed that ha would nevor die,
and tho gn at tenet of faith with tho
children of Zion was belief in the claims
which tin ir leader made. In 1888 this
self styb il "eye of Jehovah" begun to
giow dim?-in other words, to waste
awry with an incurable discaso. Finally
h ? v. nt vn Franco, where ho died, just
as all other inert als have done or will
do, 'irhig-oute? tho delusion of thoMioh
iguudcrs at Grand Rapids, who soon
awoke to tho faol that their leader had
either been a crazy fanatic or a blas
plu nu r. SoctS founded on claims of im
mortality are not at all dangerous, as
it is only a question of tfino when tho
delusion will bo effectually dispullod.?

THE GOLDEN THROAT.
IIolt-III<o Tones Not Always n Gift of Na
ture, l>ut May lie Acquired.
Tho power of tho highest interpreta
tion of musio in song is vouchsafed to
but few favored mortals and is not to bo
acquired by any amount of endeavor, If
tho true "golden throat," with fluoly
adjusted chordro vooalcs, bo lacking. A
voice ( I sweet and mellow quality in
speaking, however, is not always n gra
cious gift of nature, but is a possibloat
tainment to persons of the most ordinory
musical eupocity. A primn donna spends
scarcely more time practicing her scales
than tin ambitions actress devotes to tho
cultivation of a ringing, bell-liko into

Among well bred peoplo low voloes
are tho rule?low, but not always musio

Which is simply an ovidence of the laok

Would s. cure tho grace of clear, sweet

that is needed to achieve a fair dogreo

MKN, who hold the purse strings, often deprive women of articles
of inestimable value. The wife pleads with her husband for
a Piano or an Organ, which is tenfold more essential than the
cigar and other luxuries in which he indulges. The daughter
asks lather, or guardian, to buy an Instrument to enable her to
cultivate that beautiful talent, music. Docs any sane man not
relize this a reasonable right to plead and nsJx for? Reflect a minute!
Think of the means expended for instruction, and the many tedious
hours employed in practice by wife and daughter, and of thtir glowing
anticipations subsequently to be realized.
Now, father, husband, or guardian, are you going to blast all
these bright anticipations by denying them of this merited light?simply
the gift of a Piano or an Organ?
Give yom wives and daughters their merited rights in the home,
which is "Woman's Kingdom," then she will cease to clnmoj for politi
