Republicanisn'S DUTY,

The Philadelphia Record arraigns the
Republican party for passing leGisla-
tion favorable to the creation of trusts,
and says: TRUSTS grow upon the body
Of Protection as naturally as apples
grow upon apple trees. The way to de-
stroy the trusts Is to cut off the tariff
provisions upon which they subsist;
and there is no other way to do IT,"
The Record has no right to credit
Protection with fostering trusts. Eng
land, where tariffs are for revenue en-
clusively, is plastered over with trusts.
The proper theory of Protection is just
enough tariff to put foreign made goods
plus the duty on a level as to price in
the American market with the home
made article. This prevents eXtortion
at home and also keeps the home work.
shops busy. This is Mckinleyism. 1t
will also be McKinleyism to cut the
tariff on any article exclusively con-
trolled by a trust which uses its mo-
nopoly for the robbery of consumers.

justice or for eXpediency to let their par
ty yoke up or appear to yoke up with
financial combinations which rest un-
der general public suspicion.
The Tribune repeats: The Republi-
can party can leave to demagogues
the work of shouting out promiscuous
and undiscriminating abuse of capital,
more the very evident desire of the
public for effective rehef from abuses
Of corporate privilege. 1t must prove

A Business Mans View.

The speech of Ex-Governor Roswell
p. Flower at the Democratic CLUB din-
ner in New York Tuesday night was an
interesting deliverancs In view OF its
bearing upon the future of what Is now
known as the Sound Money Democracy.
1t is also interesting as voicing gem
eral recognition of the fact that back
of Organism are just grievances which
must in time be lighted If our govern
ment is to endure. Upon this point
Governor Flower very pertinently said:
"In the legislation which is to be en-
acted, the results Of triumph will not
be lost If the endeavor IL honest and
persistent to serve the people, and not
section, class or party. 1t cannot be
denied that a large part of the sup
port that Bryan got was due, not to
any particular conviction Of the people
on the currency question, or to any
other of the radical planks of the Chi
cagO platform, but to a conviction
which has some foundation for exist
ence, and which, growing constantly
NuAh " 5ShSiosAch' Aoo 's'AS
found freer expression during hard
times, that the burdens of government
have not been equally divided and its
privileges not impartially distributed
1t will be the duty of the Republican
party not to aggravate that conviction
by any unwise or partisan legislation.
and to eradicate, wherever possible,
any just cause for grievance. Indif-
ference or disregard of popular feeling
in this direction will encourage disre-
spect for law and promote restlessness
and dissatisfaction among the people" :"
The advice Of Mr.. Flower to sound
money Democrats-to give the Repub-
lican administration a fair trial before
seeking to achieve party restoration
is eminently sensible and wise. There
is no doubt that basis of permanent
alliance between these two temporary
allies can be found without violence
to the cardinal tenets of either. Such
an alliance would bring strong force
to bear in favor of good government
and would be a decidedly economic
conservation of political energy.

by Mr.. Collins for withholding the in

particulars is that the patent rights

tive by itself would appear somewhat
fishy. the fact that it goes only little
way beyond known possibilities gives
it hearing. The air ship 1t is conceded

Early Recognition for Cuba.

The New York Journal has done a
good service in polling prominent sena-
tors with reference to the likelihood of
congress passing joint resolution
making it mandatory for the president
to recognize Cuban independence The
majority of those who have responded
to its inquiry answer in an evasive and
indefinite fashion, but there is one re-
sponse which goes directly to the mark
Says Senator Call, of Florida. who lives
within a days journey of the Cuban
coast: 81 favor congress passing a
joint resolution requiring the United
States to take action to terminate the
war in Cuba. recognize the independ-
ence of Cuba and such other action as
may be expedient to this end"
Messages of similar import We're re-
ceived from Senators Morgan, Blanch-
ard, Tillman. Blackburn, Allen. Kyle,
Bacon, Pascoe and Proctor. Senator
Allen not only would vote for a Joint
resolution recognizing the complete in
dependence of Cuba, but he would also.
if necessary, vote to pass such q meas
ure over an executive veto. Here is a
sufficient nucleus of senatorial friendli-
ness for Cuba to warrant the belief that
something decisive may be expected
soon after the reassemblage of con-
gress. Popular patience with the eX-
ecutive's inertness Is well-nigh ex-
hausted. There is an unmistakable
feeling among the people that if the
United States is ever to act in man

A WONDERFUL CAVE.
Julian Mulford Is Searching for Hidder

Many years ago, So the story runs

ceived and in order to repay whit
| man who had saved the life of hi
| squaw, the chief approached his bene
factor and told him that for friendship
and for his noble deeds, he would SHOW
him sight seen by but few of hi;
tribe. and one which no white man ha(
ever beheld. But before he did so tn,
paleface must submit to being blind
folded. The white man consented ant
he was led through the woods to tn.
river, where was found canoe, which
they stepped into and were rowed down
the stream and into the cave.
The spacious rooms revealed a be.
Wildering variety of curious and mys
FERROUS look objects and suddenly tn,
walls seemed aglow with prisms of golt
which sparkled like diamonds. Treas
'ures consisting of valuable quartz ant
pure gold, together with rare relic
were in different parts of the cave il
large quantities. The antiquity Of the
place was apparent. Rare and peculia
coins dating back to the sixteenth anC
seventeenth centuries were found il
large numbers. In vain did the white
man plead for q few coins or a relic o.
kind a & a pf hot ctr
and interesting visit, but under no cir
cumstanceS would the chief ALLOW
him to take anything away.
For long time after the Indians dis
appeared from that region, search was
made to find this cave, which today is
still as great a mystery as ever Now
the question that is uppermost in the
minds of the people, and in Julian
Mulford's particularly, is whether the
cavern on his farm near here, which is
now being eXcavated,is the one that ths
Indian chief and the white man visited
so long ago. Mr.. milford is an intelli-
gent man. and is well versed in matters
of this kind. Knowing something of
the history or legend referred to. he
has, he thinks, found traces sufficient
to warrant him in going to great ex-
pense in excavating. He now has sew
rral men at work and says that he has
strong evidence that a cave of great
existed there.
Professor Summerfield of Philadel- |
phia, and other eminent biologists who
have visited the excavation, say that
