The problem we have to solve IN Penn
sylyania is to endeayor to utilize the
money and natural material at hand to
the best advantage on our country
roads. There is money enough expend-
ed in this state year by year which, if
judiciousIy and practically used, in the
course of very few years would pike
all the principal thoroughfares in the
state outside of the cities and boroughs-
From the best obtainable statistics we
find that for the year ended May 81, 1895,
the road tax levied in the several coun-
ties of Pennsylvania, outside the cities
and boroughs, was s3,622. 708.76. This,
of course, does not include Philadel-
phia county. The total mileage of pub
lie roads in the same territory is $4,000
miles, From the best obtainable infor-

In great emergencies men seem to

the people 10 accept their salvation or

range themselves alongside of such

/ George Washington and Thomas JEFF

Lincoln, who stood for freedom and jus
tice in opposition to tyranny and op-
preston. So also in the conflict to-
day, the weaIth-creators, who represent
the rejuvenated or the new democ-
racy," are, under the leadership of Will
liam ]. Bryan, fighting aginst indus

constituencies plutocracy. On the other
side we find the Morgans, the BeImonts
of evil secret bond deal reputation, and
host of multi-millionaires who haze
fattened off of a nations need and peo-
pies misery; the Rockefellers and the
Whitneys of the Standard Oil octopus,
the gamblers of Wall street and the
Csurers and acquirers of wealth; the
bosses, Hanna, PIatt and Quay, the cor

wealthy, not through honest means so
much as through special privileges, and
last, but not least, those who have
made common cause with England's

The present battle is a conflict be-

One of the arguments of the
money power in this canvass-one of
the very few arguments that do note
brace abuse and utilization of the adj
vocates of free coinage and misrepre-
sentation of their propositions-is that
in the event of the admission of free
silver to the minis, gold would go to a
premium. Think of that for an argu-
ment advanced by the gold gamblers!

lieve that the decoy movement is an
honest one and in the interest of de-
mocracy, and it is not to be wondered
at, at all, that democrats who gave the
movement credit for honesty should
manifest disgust for it now that its

dead away" Thousands of democrats
who might have been induced to vote

NEW YORK, Jan. 2S,--Jose c. Her
nandez, Cuban. who was on board tho
steamshlp J. W. Hawkins. an alleged
filibuster, which was wrecked of the
eastern coast OF Long Island last Sun
day night, told story to a reporter
for the World this afternoon, in which
he said:
I'VE left New York at midnight last
Saturday, from the foot OF One Hun
dred and ThIrty-eighth street, East
River. we put out quietly In the dead
OF night and In few minutes were
steaming for the Sound We ran
smoothly enough that night and all
the next day. We had no trouble until
3 o'clock Monday morning. AT that
time the sea was beginning TO get
pretty rough and the engineer asked for
help. He said that the engine room had
sprung a leak and that the pumps were
choked. At last the water came into
the engine room so fast that Captain
Hall told us to tighten the ship by
throwing over bags OF coal. The coal
was piled upon deck. We threw 1t over
as fast as we could. but 1t did not seem
to do any good.
"Then we began to throw over the
cases of arms and ammunition. We had
a great quantity on board; there was
over $50, 900 worth OF arms alone. We
had two HotchlIiss guns, 1900 Reming-
Ington and winchester rifles and one
million rounds OF ammunition. In adj
dition to this there were 5000 pounds Of
dynamite and a lot OF raw material for
making heavy explosives.

uand of the revolutionists and his son,
Carlos Garcia, was second In command.
Gen. Rosa was also on board. These
officers ordered us TO take TO the boats
and we did 30.

day morning and twenty minutes later
we saw her go down. She gave a great
llrch to one side and then settled into
the sea"

twenty-five men from the steamer J.
w. Hawkins, supposed to have been
bound for cubawith men and arms for
the insurgents. have. been handed here
by the schooner State. The Hawkins
was wrecked OF Long Island sunday
night.
The schooner Alicia B. Crosby, which
arrived here later In the day, brought
thirteen more men from the steamer J.
ii. Hawkins. The men displayed great
anxiety TO get back to New York and
would have very little TO say about their
affairs. It was learned, however, that
ten of their number had been lost.
Particulars OF the wreck of the Haw-
king had been CLEANED from the men by
the officers OF the rescuing vessel. As
nearly as could be ascertained. the
story Is that the steamer sailed from
New York on Sunday. ostensibly bound
to Bermuda on q winter excursion. She
carried, however, about eighty men,
mostly Spaniards, cannon and seVerai
hundred pounds of ammunition. Il was
1ntlmateui tnat seVSId Wsstiths SaSons
were in the party.
Early Monday morning they ran into
a northeast gale, and the heavy cross
seas, which swept tine steamer, caused
her seams to open and she began 10 fih
rapidly. Signals OF distress were set
but before those on board had time TO
do more than clear the boats. she went
down about 65 miles southeast OF SAN
dy Hook iightship.
The sctconers Leander, Beebe. Alicia
b. crosby and Helen j. Benedict had
seen the Hawkins signals and lmmedi-
ately bore down upon her. The crew
and passengers had already taken to
the boats and they were picked up with
much difficulty on account OF the gale
and high. seas. The Benedict picked up
twenty-five men. among them being the
steamers first officers and steward. The
Crosby saved i3 out OF 20 out Of another
boat. but the other 10 were unable to
paddle the boat in the high seas and
were lost. The rescued men were near
ly exhausted. The Beebe succeeded in
rescuing those in the other boats, but
she put back, probably for Delaware
brenkwater or some other middle At
lantic port. 1t IS claimed by the men
that the Hawkins was unseaworthy
and should never have undertaken the
voyage.
