THE AWFUL COST OF IT.

Anent the praise, that Butcher Wey-
Ter in his reply to Casino, at Havana,
day before yesterday, bestowed on
| Grover Cleveland, and in which the
patriot insurgents, who have been
| fighting for year for their indepen-
dence, were designated as ''hordes OF
rebels" it should not be forgotten that
many life has been laid down in the
past for the liberty of Cuba The
ten-year war ending eighteen years ago
was devastating struggle. The
American supplement of the Encyclo-
pedia Britannica, published in 1880
contains an article on Cuba, by Senior
Plutarco Gonzalez, of Mantanzas, in
which the entire number of Cubans
who persisted in battle cor otherwise" y
| in the ten years war from October,
| 1868, to February, 1878, when the in
surrection terminated, is said 10 be
variousIy estimated at from 10000 TO
$4,000. At the same time the Spanish
losses, as shown by the records in the
| war office at Madrid. are put at 5000
officers and 100000 privates killed or
died in hospital from the effects of the
climate
The Lawrence Journal well remarks
that Spain makes Cuba pay her own
governmental expenses, and then send
S30,0O0,O00 a year back TO Spain to
help pay government expenses there.
In addition to this CubanS are butcher
ed whenever an opportunity presents
itself, just TO show what power the gov
eminent has. The Cubans may be
wild, half-civilized, incapable of self
government, and all that, but the fact
remains that they are oppressed,
abused, -trodden and butchered
by Spain, and in their struggle they
have the sympathy of this country,
and if necessary they will have its aid.
And so again the hour approaches
when the advance guard of an ally TO
the insurgents will appear, powerful
ally more destructive than guns ard
bayonets. 1t will invade the lines Of
the Spanish troops and NOW them
down as grass before the sickle, nor
neither Weyler nor his assassins can
stay his hand. 1t will be death flying
the yellow flag. Weyler's boasts if
not already so much waste paper will
be forgotten. In three or five weeks
he will have to face the yellow fever.
The plague has no terrors for the in
surgents, but for the soldiers of Spain
it means trench upon trench, and the
graves partial solution of an unholy
problem. For the week ending Feb
ruary 20, Havana reported two yellow
fever deaths in the military hospital
and nine new cases. With the army
in the field, and provisional hospitals
established in the surrounding country,
the mortality lists will ever reach the
outer world. Weyler will see to that.
But the plague will work where the
machete cannot reach, and the yellow
flag of the victor will not be the yellow
emblem of Spain. Cuba may well view
the plague of 1896 as an unmixed bless

that the wheel guard" or second fender"

me that he saw a conductor and motor
man both try to make the wheel guard
work on a car of the Metropolitan road,
and they could not. This Is sure con-
trfvance for deaths work. as several have
been killed thereby. There are automatic
wheel guards or second tenders that are in
falliblc in city streets where the rate of
running Is not over ten or twelve miles
an hour. and possibly for a higher rate.

There was a large and enthusiastic at
tendance of democrats at the Interstate
Democratic Association Club house on
New York avenue last night, and President
Frank Hosford, who accompanied Mr..
Bryan on his journey from Nebraska to
New York. was given a big welcome. He
made a characteristic speech, which was
received with great satisfaction by his
auditors. declaring that Bryan would re-
ceive so many electoral votes there would
be no necessity for the electoral college to
meet to count them.
Mr. Richard r. Beale, the lawyer, aroused
renewed enthusiasm by pIophesying that
Maryland would give democratic ma
jority, and Vice President Gall stirred up
still more by assuring the gathering that
West Virginia would do the same thing.
After the speechmaking, which was
closed by a second address by Mr.. Hos
ford, the members and their guests spent
several hours in social enjoyment.
