lieve it to be duty I owe to it to re-
fute in the strongest terms the unjust.
untrue statements that have been made
during the past three months about this
case. And last. but not by any means
least. l owe it to my family to disabuse
the minds of the public of the false i'm
pressions made by a pervcrsinn of the
truth.
This abuse has been based largely upon
nisstatements published in the columns
of certain Washington papers from time
to time, some of which here mention:
That we slept in this adjoining room;"
that another night Proctor and Rhodes
occupied a room adjoining Maxwelrs
room and listened half of the night for
evidence" that with an extra key they
proctor and Gallaher) unlocked the door
of the Department clerks sleeping room"
''The woman was SO frightened that she
ran screaming and crying out of the room
and half fell down the stairs, imploring
and begging us not to murder her." that
Proctor stood for an hour with a pair of
opera glasses glued to his eyes and pointed
toward Maxwelrs room, looking for evil
dence," and slipped around in his stock
ing feet in order to make case;" watch
ing them from neighboring roofs through
telescopes" that Inspector Hollinberger
summoned the detectives in his office be-
fore him and delivered to them q lecture
which will probably remain in their mem
ory for many a long day"
''The inspector told his detectives that
he had done everything in his power to
discountenance the methods employed
by Detective Proctor in making
his arrest under the Edmun nds law
and he regarded the way In which the
alleged evidence was obtained as little
short OF infamous. The lecture was taken
very much at heart by the force at large.

The Circulation of the Star Is Faliin:

The Circulation of the Star Is Failing
Off-The Public Knows Its Friend.
The aggregate circulation of the Star last
week was ITO, AT. That of The Times was
213,165, which shows circulation of
42,6SS more than the Star. Whether or not
this increase is due to the snarling OF fiste
dog weekly publications which ''some one"
has set at the heels OF The Times would be
difficult 10 determine, but that isquite nat
raj inference.
The Times is decidedly the best daily in
Washington, and the more advertising it
secures the greater will be its circulat ion.
II is possible to fool the public occasionally
by insinuations and monkey paw abuse, but
when the object of such attacks is really
deserving there can be but one result-an
Increase OF popularity.

LET THEM ASK RECOGNITION

An interview with Col. Coronado, Cuban
patriot, which is published in The Times
this morning, concludes with these remark
able words:
1--WE have established practically pro-
visional government and have an army to
protect it, and are in the same position the
United States were when the Declaration of
Independence was issued and a call was sent
To all the nations of the earth for recogni
ton"
These are memorable words, but they
suggest lack of coherent performance. If
Cuban patriots have attained to the cond
tion of the American patriots OF '76, why
do they not take similar action?
The provisional government has made no
formal request, even to the great and SYM
pathetic American people, for recognition
of their belligcrent rights. This should have
been the first act Of their declaration OF
independence. That this step was not taken
was. an oversight which is not compli-
mentary to the sasacity of the heCubanleaders.
The provisional government should at once
name representatives and send them with
proper credentials to the present Admins
tration of the United States Government.

The meeting Of the Democratic silver
leaders at Memphis, Tenn, should ouss
Buck Henrichsen, of Illinois, for charging
President Cleveland with attempting to
bring on war with Spain in order to force
another bond issue. Such misrepresenta
tions do not benefit the cause OF free silver,
and this one is manifestly So false as to
create serious apprehensiOns as to the
saneness of the man who gave it utterance.
There is greater reason to fear that the pay
'mefit of the Mora claim will influence Pres
don't Cleveland to delay recognition of the
Cubans as belligerents than there is to
think he intends to bring on a war with
Spain, and for that reason the declaration

Merely Fish Stories.

There are two or three &c nera of the order
10 which the Goldfish belongs which have a
mustache of bristles on each side OF the
mouth. Fish which fly or soar are no longer
curiosities, and South America comes to the
fore with great shoals or droves of fish
which, when their ponds dry up during the
drought season, scramble across country to
deeper pools or burrow in the mud to await
the rains. or course these creatures have
rudimentary lungs to supplement the usual
breathing apparatus of their kind.
There is a famous climbing perch of India
which is said 10 have been seen mounting
five or six feet up the trunk of palm tree.
In the Sargasso Sea is a species of fish
which builds nests. and it is in this family
where is found the angling appendage,
which is retractile and plays sad havoc @:th
lesser fry.
Deep-sea fish must endure a squeezing
which increases al the rate of about a ton
for every thousand fathoms, and SO at a
depth of three and one-half miles, the great
est at which a ny have been ia ken. this would
be nearly three tons for every inch of the ami
mal's body. These fishes are constructed
accordingly. and when brought to the sur
face they are generally in condition of
considerable dilapidation. AS the pressure
decreases the gases in the intestnes and
bladder and in solution in the blood rapidly
expand, forcing the st oma ch out at theinouth
and the eyes from their sockets.
The luminosity of certain dwellers OF the
lowest depths serves many purposes Be-
sides acting as search lights" in some cases,
II is invaluable in others as n lure to curious
little creatures which thus fall prey to the

From the Chicago News,


Men have been trying to get rid of horses
for centuries They began to succeed Just
300 years ago, when an observaDt fellow
named Savery took hint from the acci-
dental condensation of steam in an empty
wine bottle which he had thrown into the
fire. Since that time steam engines and not
horses have pumped water. Nearly ninety
years later. in 1852, James Watt, another
observer, who knew how to put his observa-
tions to good use, found out how to make
the double-acting steam engine. Since then
steam and not horse power has turned the
wheels of the worlds factories. Nearly
forty years later, in 1899, George Stephen
son built the first successful automobile
carriage, and straightway y steam began haul
ing goods and passengers, and the horse,
the freight wagon and the stage coach have
year by year come to be less and less in
evidence.

STILL DUMB.

Still is our morning contemporary
dumb as to particulars of the silver
bill passed twice by a Republican
Senate and rejected by a Democratic
House." Since challenged for the data
it not only fails correspond, but has
ceased to repeat the story which was
one of it's most frequent bits of con-
demnable iteration.
If it were true it would not prove
much in the argument as to the record
of the two parties on silver. But as it
was the one solitary and only chunk
of comfort on which our contemporary
was wont to rely, if there was any
thing left of it, even in it's own disor-
dered mind, it would be trotting it out
once more and holding it up tri-
umphantly for deluded Republicans to
gaze at.
Whatever may be said about Cleve-
land, Carlisle, Watterson, and other
prominent Democrats and their
financial views, that does not in the
least help the record of the Republican
party as to silver. The facts remain

contemporary it smashed" silver and
killed" it in 1873. 1t resisted all Dem
ocratic efforts to revive silver Sin sue
cessive Congresses subsequently. 1t
shows itself now to be the same bit
ter foe. The majority of it's members
are opposed to free silver coinage and
treat it as a financial heresy.
On the other hand, the opponents of
silver in the Democratic party are in
the minority. The bulk of the party
are repudiatin,; the views of their
once renowned leaders. Much as
Cleveland and Carlisle are admired for
the very qualities which some Repub-
licans either fail to see or affect to dis
pise, Democrats who approve of those
leaders outside of their financial
course, will refuse to follow them on
the road of gold recommendation or of
bogus bimetallism.
Our cornered neighbor can gain no.
thing by singing mud at Cleveland,
but it might make a very small point
by furnishing the proofs of the state
ment about those Senate bills on which
it has suddenly been stricken with a
muteness equal to that of the Cleve-
land League convention.

THE SANDWICH ISLANDS.

Mr.. Thomas G. Sherman has is
sued a little pamphlet entitled THE
Hawaiian Despotisun' in which he
makes the following charges against
the descendants of the missionaries: -
First, that the Hawaiian government
he's rendered the natives 1andless by
forcing the English system of holdings
In severalty upon them; second, that
chean Monaghan labor has been intro
duced to the disadvantage of the ma
tives; third. that the native govern
ment was overthrown to make room
for a plutocratic oligarchy; and
fourthly that this government has re-
tanned power by cruelty and oppres-
sion. The authors pamphlet does not
attempt 90 justify each Of the charges
made. Whatever views may be taken
conce- ming the other charges, there is
a widespread belief in this country
that a representative government of
the PEOPLE has been ruthlessly over
turned by party of ambitious men Of
foreign birth Or affiliations.
That justification for this revolution
Us made on various pleas is well
known, but the liberties of a people,
though ignorant, should not be
trampled upon with impunity and
particularly by men of American
origin.

When the sun goes down
Then twinkle the lights in the busy town;
And the ragged boys of the hungry eyes
Go whistling past where the sick man

And the sick man listens, and frowning,

HES face to the wall and yearns and
yearns,
While the slow dark creeps to the hope
less day;
''Oh, to be happy ana hale as theyr'
When the sun goes down
On the fields where the grasses are green
and brown,
Soft on the valley and soft on the hill
Falls the song--the song of the whippoor-
T. -oep the lone and the loveless ones.
While the river of memory backward
And they dream in the shadows-and
dreams are Woe
''Oh, for the love of the long agor'
When the sun goes down
There is rest for the weary in field and
And cowbens clank through the country
wide.
And love sits down by the Preside
Then the kettle sings-just the old-time
And once moro memory comes along,
And they cry-who are dreaming and
dreaming there;
"Oh the empty chair-the empty chair!'

MEXICAN SILVER BONDS.

Incidentally it is stated that the
European demand for all classes of

is going into tropical plantations.
These facts taken together with the
general internal prosperity Of our
