tc The RepublirtM Publishing Company, Hamilton, Ohio. DISTANCE I. Fliudil mot Cra THE very few applications for accommodation, and the eiceedingly small wants of borrowers, seemed to perplex tankers. They couldn't understand how there was so much general business without the use of money, and especially since checking was pmnller. Depositing was increassd.

and uf coarse, rosorves were enlarged. There was the usual easy condition of the loan market, and the prime paper offered was discounted at per cent. Collateral loans were placed to a limited extent at per cent, on call and Bl per cent, on time by brokers, There were small transactions in New York exchange between banks at per $1,000 discount, but there were few sellers, as there was no desire to further accumulate currency. Foreign exchange was inactive and not at all firm. There was a fair movement in government bonds.

Local stcurities exhibited more animation and EOine advanced. Merchandise markets were irregular as to the extent of the bnai- JICBE. Flour strong, but dull. Wheat iu fair inquiry and firmer. Coru firmly sustained by a good demand.

Oata strong under small receipts, by a good demand. Oils strong under sruull receipts, but the movement only moderate. Hye Brm and inactive. Provisions stronger, with good general (railing. Groceries (jiiiet, with no ed- fuutial change in prices.

A little experience will enlarge the average. AMERICAN contractlonists can see by heir own dwindling numbers that they iO not represent a live American iplo.

Since kissing not only goes by favor, but is declared by our doctors to be one of the surest means of communicating disease, there can be no question that the recent risk to the young man's life has been not less than that surrounding his Santiago excursion on (he Merri mac.

SIR GEORGE TREVELYAN is soon lo publish a "History of the American Revolution" little more which promises to ba a favorable to the Units States side than most of the former works covering this ground which have been written by Englishmen. This is big subject, and this is a good period in which to deal with the subject in an nu biased way. Prejudice, in some degree, unavoidable in treating a question liks this, which has bal iramendons consa queuces for hnmiuity.and probably not nil of it will disappear even in the present era of good feeling between AuiDrici and England.

There wore sis men whose imprisonment sen- ences aggregated one hnndred and one and one month.

In addition to hat there were four men who had re life sentences for the crime of murder. All of the men were young, but it is harder to secure pardons for men convicted in the United States court than for those convicted in the itate courts. As a rule the presidents the United States do not grant pardons unless there is a most excellent reason for it. In state cases, sympathy has considerable to do with the grant- ng ot pardons, at least that is the way many people in the state view the mat. Macke has any number of indictment? pending agattst him In Kansas, but will be first tried for the robbery of the Nadanpostoffice, which of course brings aim under tne jurisdiction of the federal courts.

Food ot the Miviittic-lt War Or Peace With Cuba. HAVAXA, Dec. rumors were flying 1 about Thursday night and are given credence excited crowds thronging the streets. It was reported Thursday evening that Mariano Mcnocal and his Cuban forces at l.a Payu had been asked lo talcc the oath of allegiance to tlie L'nitcd States and had refused. The news that Cuban soldiers had refused to take the oath of allegiance was cheered by the crowd, and mounted insurgents clattered through the town, tellihg-Hhe people in the streets that Gen.

Menocal had withdrawn his troops from La Paya and taken to the Held. 'This story, regardless of its truth or falsity, is chiefly worthy of serious attention, because, of the eagerness with which ib was received by the crowds who insisted upon its truth. They justified Gen. MenocaFs reported seii- iational action. The situation grows out of the refusal of Hen.

Brooke's permit for the larticipation of Cuban troops in the exercises on evacutiou day. The fcel- jg in Havana Thursday night was tense. Tlie United States flagtvas torn down frum many houses in" the lower dis- ricts of the city Thursday night. Upper class Cubans sent cablegrams without number to President McKinley Thursday begging him to interfere. Cablegrams have been sent broadcast over the United States asking- for public meetings and appealing to the common sense and justice of tlie American people.

The Cuban leaders here are doing everything possible to prevent an outburst, but say that if Gen. Brooke's command is carried out not only will they be helpless, but they will think ivhatever happens, to have been catised by what they consider the arbitrary and unjust action of the United States. Judge Advocate Charles Gould, of the American commission, Thursday cabled to President McKinley that there is intense uneasiness in the situation here and advising- that the C.ubans be permitted to participate in the evacuation ceremonies. Late Thursday nig'ht no ivord had been received from the president regarding the matter. The more excitable of the population of Havana's lower districts are beginning to hoot the American soldiers.

The higher class Cubans are bitterly chagrined and disappointed at the turn affairs have taken. They hardly know what to say or do. Their plans are to have picked men, the flower of the insurgent army, march into Havana The Cuban soldiers came into camp at-La Paya and- Mariano with the understanding that they were marching to Havana for evacuation day. They bougiitnew uniforms in honor of the occasion. The streets of Havana have been most lavishly decorated.

The people intended to meet the insurgent soldiers at the them with music Pi-ado. Tlie soldiers are the popular ideal of the people of Havana. The entrance of the Cuban soldiers into Havana has been the dream of the people of. the unhappy island for 50 years. Durin the late war Havana has ever been the objective point.

Now Spaiu has been driven out, but the Cuban soldier must not enter. The Cubans compromised on the original plans days ago. It was said the soldiers might enter on the 3d outskirts and escort and cheering to the prox. Five davs of rejoicing was planned. The people of Havana planned a great feast for the soldiers.

lirooke, who is supposed to act under instructions from Washington, said this arrangement could not be carried out. The developments of the next few days may mean peace or war between the United Stales and Cuba. Hn'vana citizens say they beg not to be driven away from Uu i United States.

THE SHIFTING OP TAXES WORLD-From tho fUeal 1871, until the last fHjal je-ir. with the exception of customs duties were thr chief sonrca of onr national revenues Beginning with' the next to the last year of the McSiniey law, the internal revenues have shown a tendency to approich the customs revenues; and last year, in the face of the operations of the Dingley law, this tendency was 'so accelerated the internal reveanoe exceeded the castoms revenues by The new war taxes, almost entirely internal, will cause the internal revenues at the end of the present year to exceed the customs revenues by at least $12D 000.000. This tendency, so clearly shown under the' McKinley, AVilson and Dingley lawsaliko.ind.cites that we have reeched that stage of national development where tbe custom house binks in importance below the internal revenue office, in spite of any legislation.

VOICE OF THE PEOPLE Tho Way to Fittingly ializa OlarkLane. A Decent Fulfilment ot the Con- dlilont ol his the Best nelhod. To THE loyal citizen of Hamilton'has read with approval the resolution by the Board of Control appointing special committee to for mtilate some plan, by which the cltj can commemorate their former fellow townsman Clark for his liberal donations to the city and county in the way of the Lane Free library, the lot ol tho Third ward engine house, and the Children's Home But, there are ways and ways of doing things, and the way adopted by the managers of the Children's to honor their benefactor cannot icnch improved upon.

And now is presented the opportunity for tbe Board of Control to emulate a good example and make the Lane Free Library a monument such as was intended by its donor.

The conditions of the gift to the citr were so simple as to increase onr obligation rather than to allow this important inntltution to go al moat Into decay. The let clause in the deed of gift simply etatw that the library ehall bo kept "neat and com- fokable, and in such condition as shall be by the good and moral people ol thn uity. Alieady a ftna portrait of Mr. Lane has ben. in the building where the beuevolnit face of onr city's benefactor has become famil'iir to every frequenter of library; anl now let onr Board of Control, give to this institution snch substantial suppoit as will make It memorial in every way fitting, and let it become the piide of all future boards, to BO maintain it.
