incubation Revived,

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 25.-News
from Manila. brought by the steamer
City ofPekin from Hong Kong, shows
that the Spaniards have resorted to
tortue of natives and half casts of the
Philippines which surpass in cruelty
that practiced by the Chinese man
drains in cases of the most atrocious
crimes. They are also charged with
confscating the estates of wealthy
half casts and deporting these wretch
ed victims to Fermandopo, on the
West coast of Africa, a place which
has climate that will quickly prove
fatal to the stranger. These state.
ments are not given on the strength
of reports of refugees. James w.
Davidson, a well known correspond
ent, was recently commissioned by the
Hong Kong Press to go to Manila
and cautioned to evade the press CEN
sorship, and in several letters which
he smuggled through the lines he tells
of what he has seen and what he has
heard on good authority. According
to him, the instruments of torture
used in The Spanish iniquisltion three
centuries ago have been kept in the
monasteries of Manila and were
brought out recently to extort confes-
sions from natives and mestizo sus-
poets, who have been arrested and
kept in jail in Manila subjected to
hideous treatment. MIR. Davidson al
so intimates that the leading powers
of Christendom will be called upon to
interfere and put an end to the tortures,
which revive the worst features of the
Spanish inquisition.

How They Fooled Thousands.

RICHMOND, Nov. "a "A Marion, Va.
special to The Dispatch says. At the
Mathieson alkali works in this county,
which had been partially closed for re-
pairs up to short time before the elec-
ton, it was reported just previous to
the election that in the event of Nc.
Kinley's election the works would be
run on full time without a cut in
wages. The men went out yeterday
on account of a reduction in wages,
and last night the company tried to fill
their places with negroes, but the strik-
ers resisted and forced the negroes out.

Democratic Vote Of the South.

A large number of the Eastern pa
pers are stating that Mr.. Bryan lost
heavily in the South as compared with
the Cleveland vote of 1892, and that
his nomination was, therefore, blow
to the Southern Democracy. This
theory, while quite favorite one Just
at present, is not sustained by the fig
ures. Mr.. Bryan, as a matter of fact,
polled much larger vote in the south
than Mr.. Cleveland, as the following
table shows:

How the Illiterate Voted.

The New York Mail and Express,
the New York Evening Sun, and 9th
er newspapers in various states, appear
to find a deal of satisfaction in the fact
that the twenty-five Bryan states have
q larger average of illiteracy than the
twenty-three. Mckinley states. The
Evening Sun cites these figures from
the census tables of 1890:

In commenting on the above the
Washington Post says it does not
think it unfair to assume that the
newspapers which institute this com.
parison know that the great mass OF
the illiterates in the Bryan states did
not vote for Bryan. The Evening Sun
and the Mail and Express cannot be
unaware of the fact that most of the
illiterates in those states are Republi-
cans. So far as they voted at all they
cast their ballots for Mckinley and
sound money. 1t is not their fault
that they cannot read and write. They
are the freed men or the sons of freed
men. In Maryland, Kentucky and
West Virginia the votes of the black
illiterates assured those states for Nc.
Kinley. In states farther south the
colored men cast the bulk OF the Re-
publican vote. It seems strange, in
view of these facts, that intelligent
newspapers will try to convince the
ill-informed and credulous that litter.
acy is a characteristic of the Eryan
vote.

Dysentery, when epidemic, is almost
as severe and dangerous as Asiatic

of the most skilled physicians have
failed to check its ravages, this rem

Silver would REPLACE Gold.

Question. there DO more mon
ey in the country with tho FREQ coinage
Of silver?
Answer. There would ut first be very
much less, owing to the withdrawal of
gold. After values became adjust ed to the
silver basis silver would DO coined here
as it is i'll Mexico. There would be no de-
mand for silver on account of its COIN
age, nor would it then go up in price,
because silver bullion wonld be worth
The same after coinage as before, lust
as gold is now. Men would sow and
reap and buy and sell as they do now.
Whoever got n silver dollar would have
TO work for it as he must now work.
Our stock of money would Inc less eff
cient because we would not have the
standard Of the leading civilized na-
lions. and our money would have its
price i'll gold, flnctuating from day to
day, as is now The case with the money
of Mexico, japan, China and other
countries. To understand the result wo
have but to study the conditions found
among the silver using natious.--R.

Steadily Losing Ground.

Tho Hon. Tom l.. Johnson of Ohio,
who has taken the troubleto inform
himself Gil tho currency feeling i'll the
west, recently expressed the followinE
opinion:
IL look for Short, sharp fight be.
tween tho forces Of cheap money and
sound money and tho utter defeat of
the silvcrites. FREQ silver people never
had tho strength they boast of. There
is a good deal of noise, it is true, but
when it comes to counting noses, they
nre generally in the minority Tho fact
is, each successive congress since the
Fifty-first shows II great falling off of
free silver followers. In the Fifty second
congress there was tic vote i'm the pop
ular house on the Bland bill, and this
was the zenith of the silver craze. Its
nadir is i'll tho future. The Improvement
in business conditions is not calculated
10 support the claims of tho silverites.
They have based their agitation mainly
on discomfort springing largely from
the unemployed class, and now that
these arc becoming fewer every day the
silver followers grow beautifully less. ;"

a.
gogues In Times OF Depression.
The cheap money lclusion only flour
ishes in time OF depression. These arc
not times of depressiou, nor is there
that prospect ahead. In time of depres
sion deniagcgues can always find a con-
stituency for the wretched tlelusion that
to make good times it is only necessary
for the government to set a lot of print
ing presses at work turning out paper
money or TO set all the minis at work
coming silver dollars. Somehow or 9th
or the IDEA prevails among the dupes of
the deIpagogue that when tie govern
1ncnt has printed or coined money it is
going to make present of-itto tho peo-
pie. Nobody gets money III that way.
Money has 10 circulate before it can
get into peoples pockets and to mako it
circulate there must TO business, trad
ing, commercial activity, tho invest
inent of capital, the opening Of new en-
terpliscs; and before there can be such
commercial and financial activity there
must be confidence in the future that
legislation will not destroy the value of
Investments nude. There must DO an
assurance that when dollar is let out
for use il Will come back whole and not
clipped Of half its valuo. In no other
cts. No government has attempted such
Il foolish thing as to give the people
money, and tho nero manufacture Of
money at the mints would do nobody
any coed. st. Joseph Herald
