A CRYING ABUSE.
How the Wages OF Sin Are Used by Piu-

How the, Was es of Sin Are Used by Piu-
tocracy to Educate Our Children.
From an Omaha newspaper it aprears
that the receipts from criminal fines
and penalties a~gainct houses Of prostl-
tuition and saloons IN that city, have
lately decreased to such an extent that
the school board IS embarrassed for
lack Of funds to run the public schools.
these fines, or a certain per cent ofthem,
go to the support OF the schools. Top
ulists who call attention to certain
wrongs and abuses have been ridlculed
as "ag1tators," "calamlty howlers" and
other derisive terms, Yet what ordl-
nary decent minded man or N OF
this proud christian land, if he would
pause to think for q moment, would
not blush with shame that the children
Of our public schools should be sup
ported and educated off OF the proceeds
derived from the poor hunted outcast
prostitutes in their horrible traffic.
The reason why this as well as other
shameful customs in our system OF
Government, are tolerated at all, is that
the people do not stop to think about
them, as their noses are kept constant
ly on the grlndstone OF pressing personal
affairs and struggling in the weary
slough OF hopeless poverty.

In Regard to Weyler.

AT time when two or three tinid
senator's are preventing this govern
ment from granting the moral aid of
its recognition to the people of Cuba.
on the ground that we should not ex-
asperate our dear friend, Spain, it is
interesting to read the incidents of
Weyler's prior activity as Spain's com
missioned butcher which are yOuched
for by Gonzalo de Quesada. secretary
of the Cuban delegation in Washington.
being translated by him from the manu-
scripts of an unpublished history Man
uei de la Cruz, the Cuban litterateur
and author who recently died in New
York. The original record of these in
cidents Secretary Quesada has thus
transcribed in a letter to the PhiladeI-
phia Press:
During the last war General Weyler
did not distinguish himself by military eX-
plOts. As a soldier he was an obscure
commander of a column His operations
were in the territories of Camaguey and
Tumas: his reputation is based on his
atrocities. The dance at GuamarO IS
famous in Puerto Principe He captured
a numbc" of ladies of the best society OF
this province. They were taken to the vii
lage Of Guaimaro. Around il large bon
fire. in the center Of the public square. he
placed the defenseless women. The fero-
clous hordes Of negroes who composed the
Fourth company OF his command were
orderei to Violently undress the prison.
ers. Then they played an African dance
and the unfortunate Cubans who refused
To participate were whipped by Weyler
himself. But even worse than the fore
going," Manuel De La Cruz continues.
was the crime committed by Weyler on
Senorita Romero. Weyler ordered the lat
ter to propose to her daughter the sacri-
flee to him of her honor and virtue The
distracted mother, under threats of DEATH
entreated In vain with the young woman
Colonel Weylcr offered this dilemma:
The Senorita must choose between him
and the black soldiers of the already
famous and sadly-celebrated Fourth COM
pany. Senorita Romero did not vacillate; A;
she Indignantly exclaimed: Between
you, monster. and the Fourth company.
L do not hesitate; give me up to the Fourth
company" Can Mr.. Dupuy De LONE or
Weyler deny this when Cruz solemnly de-
clares: "In 1889. in a house at Nuevitas,
thin and emaciated as specter, her hair
