Another provision in this contract was
disgraceful to those who consented to it

10 foreigners the right to control our
Treasury for three-quarters of "A year.
During that time the Secretary agreed TO
tie his hands and sell no bonds to the
people of the United States, until he had
first offered them to these foreigners.

them the right TO control his own de-

The Treasury has suffered by this
transaction to the extent of more than
l31) thirty-tive millions of dollars.
The above is partisan account of this
transaction and intended to be such, hay
ing been written as "A campaign document
for the Republican party, but it Is an ac-
curate statement of facts so far as they
connect with the figures and losses of
the loan. Mr.. Chittenden adds This
transaction has not received its due at
tention from the press, probably because
the press has not appreciated the magni-
tude of the mischief" But Mr.. Chit
tenden fails to correctly explain here
the cause of the apathy of the
press and apparent apathy of the
American people. Nearly the whole
of the eastern and northwestern press is
under the domination of the money
power, which demands that the
currency should be redeemed in gold.
The people largely did not know that
it need not be, and, assuming that It
must be, they felt that Mr.. Cleveland
was asked to make brick without straw,
and were willing to presume he made
the best trade possible under the
circumstances, at least the best trade,

Ex-JUsTIoE STRONG DEAD.

In the recent death Of Judge Strong,
for IS years a member of Pennsylva-
MAS Supreme Court and subsequently
Associate Justice of the United States
Supreme Court, the legal fraternity
has lost a venerable and honorable
jurist, and society worthy and mag
netic member.
He died at the,old age Of 81 years
at Lake Mlnnew3ska, N. Y. in the
afternoon of Monday, August ro.
His ailment was catarrhal affection
of long standing, aggravated by re-
cent fall down flight of stairs at his
home in Washington, and a more re-
cent stroke of paralysis after reaching
the Lake. The catarrhal fever recur-
ring, he was unconscious for some
time before death ensued. His burial
was in Reading, Pa, where he achiev.
ed his early prominence and distinc-
ton as a trustworthy and prudent
counselor and eloquent advocate, and
from whence he went to Congress as
Democrat on several occasions with
phenomenal majorities.
In his boyhood he supported him
self by teaching school in the rural
districts in Connecticut and New
York, frequently carrying his few and
borrowed law books with him. His
early efforts were marked by the pinch
of poverty which frequently has its
beneficial effect in the after life, piov-
ing often to be blessing in disguise
to worthy young men giving them
some true knowledge Of the value ol
money and individual achievement.
| In the death OF Judge Strong society
has lost another representative OF oul
self-made men whose greatest pride
lies in their high sense of persona
honor, integrity and consequen
achievement.

Cause and Effect.

What called the Republican party
into power and gave it its waning pres
tige was Its real or pretended SYM
pathy with the lowly, the oppressed
and the enslaved, as against those of
atistocratic design who would fame
luxuriate through the sweat OF the
brow and the extended enslavement
OF others. The Republican party be.
coming debauched with the Providen-
tial success Of war and forgetting the
source of the enviable prestige it gain
ed through the aid of many Democrats
as well as Republicans, got eventually
so far above its business in catering to
the lofty and forgetting the lowly as
to be swept from power--just where
they stand to-day. Democracy may,
or she may not, know from this illus
tration on which side her bread is
buttered for the future. Duty points
with outstretched finger, but money
beckons the other way.

The Revolt in Cuba.

MADRID, August 2o.-General Sal
cedo, who commanded the Spanish
troops in the First Military district in
Cuba, has returned to Spain, arriving
at Corunna on the goth. General
Salcedo declares that the campaign
against the insurgents in Cuba will be
actively resumed in November, and
that Santiago de Cuba, Ciego de
Avila, and Puerto Principe will be
strongly garrisoned with Spanish
troops. The concensus of opinion
among the Spanish officers in Cuba,
he says, is that these movements, to-
gether with keeping close watch on
the coast, will put an end to the re-
bellion by 1896,
A dispatch to the Impartial from
Havana says the death sentence pass
ed upon the rebel chief Mujiga was
confirmed by the authorities, and it
is understood that the sent ence was
executed at Matanzas yesterday.

Future Freight and Passenger Rates,

Senator Chandler is certainly bold
man in his public expression. But
radical cases sometimes and generally
need radical cures. His recent letter
to the Inter State Commerce Com
mission vigorously protests against the
proposed agreement of the Trunk
Line Association. He says their OBJ
ject is simply to abolish all competi-
tion in freight and passenger rates for
the present, and to raise present
charges as soon as possible. We
shouldn't wonder if the Senator saw
the matter exactly right. The plan
has what is called business look
about it.

inclination to talk much about three
