sPANIARDs SHOOT AMERICANS.
Disregarding American Passports Dr. Del
egado is Shot.

CINCINNATI, o., April 2l.-The
Commercial Gazette's special cor
respondence from Woodward,
dated Havana, April 10, contains
an interview with DR.. Jose Manuel
Delegado, the American citizen
who was shot and hacked and left
for dead by Spanish troops on
March 4, when they raided the
plantation OF Dolores in Mainano.
Delegado said he was an American
neutral in this contest, attending
to his farm. When captured he
presented his passport as an Amer
lean citizen. General MeliguiZso
answered by striking him three
times with his sword. Delagado
and his several farm men were tied
together with a rope and placed in
line. A detail of Spanish troops
fired at them by command. Maceo
that day had fired the Dolores
plantation and retired before the
Spanish troops. A Spanish cap
tain came to Delegates house with
20 men, told the doctor and his
seven field hands to follow. Dele
gado showed his passport as an
American, so did his men. The
captain said he had nothing to do
with the matter, he was only obey
ing orders, but it was his opinion
that the worst thing they could do
would be to show that they were
Americans. Arriving at General
Meliguizso's. Delegado said they
were neutrals, and then showed
the passports.
Meliguizso became furious. 1t
was then he struck Delegado ex-
claiming: 81 will shoot you just
as / would the consul general II he
were here" There were eight of
them taken out and tied together
with a rope and placed against a
stone wall. The order was to cut
the prisoners down with Machettes.
In attempting this the rope broke
and the soldiers were ordered to
fire. At the first volley Delegado
fell forward feigning death. The
second volley sent bullet into his
thigh. All others except one were
killed. The doctor was left for
dead, and lost his consciousness.
When he recovered he found him
self in his dwelling. There his old
father took care of him. Shortly
afterwards Spanish soldiers came
searching for the two that had
escaped. Delegado's father hid
him in cane field exposed to the
inclement weather. Meantime the
old father communicated with
Consul General Williams and OBJ
tanned a safe conduct to Havana,
where Delegado now lies under
the protection Of the United States.
DR.. Delegado graduated at
Columbus college, New York, and
at a medical college In that city.
He was in New York from 1862 to
1877, when he left to take charge OF
Dolores plantation in Cuba.

The temperance meetings held in Union
hall for four evenings this week under the
auspices of the various Young peoples
societies of the village have on the whole
proved success. Music each evening
was provided by chorus and solos were
sung by Joseph Viau, w. E. Stockwell,
Mrs. S. w. Wilder. Jr., and Miss Alice
jackson. The attendance throughout the
week had been large, and perhaps the
largest audience OF all gathered last even
ing Notwithstanding there were several
other attractions in town. Through the
united efforts of Thomas E. Murphy, the
noted temperance worker, and the temper
ance people in town, about 800 have
signed the total abstinence pledge, and
while many of these have signed similar
obligations before, we believe some have
been influenced who, if they continue inhu-
enced, will prove truer men and better
citizens. Those who are interested in the
welfare Of this town will be glad to learn
that Mr.. Murphy will hold another series
of meetings here this winter.

Felix WEIGH wanted to see the show last
night and not having the requisite cash by
means of ladder and barrel attempted to
mount the roof of the library building
where he hoped to see what was going on
through window. The barrel and ladder
combination gave way and Felix landed
his chin on a stone wall cutting a deep
cash and rendering him insensible. Two
or three doctors who were inside were
called out and his case was quickly attended
to. He is doing nicely this morning.
F. j. Blake's exhibit Of photographs in
Winnewisser & Conway's show window
this week has attracted wide attention /;
perhaps 100 photographs have been put
on exhibition and all are of scenes in this
vicinity selected with excellent Judgment.
Scenes about the basin, along the Connec-
ticut, the picture of the old toll bridge,
and the fine oil painting Of the scene about
the "four pines" have been especially
praised. As Mr.. Blake is modest man,
it is good thing he has not heard all the
good things that have been said about the
photographs.
w. H. Nichols who corresponds for sew
eral papers in this vicinity has sent out the
following complimentary item:
A party has been in town for week
past for the purpose, it is said, of estab-
fishing weekly newspaper, am, decided

taking. We have two we'll equipped print

A, b, SHELDON,
Double Standard Maple Sugar.

The Mohawk valley was settled by
the Dutch, as your readers know. When
the country was new, Yankee peddlers
came through the settlements and pur-
chased the crop of maple sugar. On one
occasion green Dutchman sold Yam
kee his maple sugar far below the mar
ket price, and his neighbors leased him
for being deceived. He said in reply
you wait and l will vix him next
year" The next spring he sold his crop
of sugar to the same Yankee at the same
price. When his neighbors rallied him,
he said: 81 am no fool. l made the sap
that sugar was made from of half spring
water" The green Dutch farmer had
just as much common sense as those
cranks who assert that 80 cents worth
of silver and an equal amount of water
will make dollar worth 100 cents in
gold at the present standard. F. g. in

The great wang" played last night to
large and delighted house. This is the
first time this famous opera has appeared in
this part Of the state and all expected
good thing and not many were disappoint-
ed. While some Of the solos were weak
the musical features as whole were good
and this is especially true of the chorus.
This is the fourth season that this opera
has been before the American public and
the third season for Mr.. Albert Hart as
wang" Mr.. Hart has made great
success Of this part and acts it with better
effect each season. Miss Norma Kapp as

joyed. The stage effects were good but
the dancing, what there was, was poor.
Tonight is Halloween. Halloween
or All Hallows' Eve, the night of October
81, is the eve OF All Saints day or All
Hallows' day which is the eve of the first
day of November. The name All Hallow
day was given by Pope Boniface w. to
the first of November in celebration Of the
conversion of the Roman Pantheon into a
place of Christian worship and its dedica-
ton to the Virgin and the martyrs. The
popular observance of the day is said to
have long preceded its establishment as a
church festival and it was one of the four
great festival days observed by our pagan
ancestors. The first celebration Of the
day is recorded as being held on the first
day Of May, but later the date was set as
November l, which continues to be gen.
orally remembered if not observed"

MONEY ANo The CREDITOR CLASS.
When the Measure of Value Varies, the
Laborcr Gets the Worst of 1t.

When the Measure of Value Varies, the
| Laborer Gets the Worst of 1t.
Probably no question that has ever
been made a political issue appeals more
strongly to cur selfishness than the mon
ey question The value Of all the prop
erty we possess is expressed in the terms
of money, and not our property only but
our labor.
A horse, a COW, a corner lot, share
of stock, a bond or q note are all meas
ured as to their transferable value by
money. They are worth SO much. So
of our labor, whether in the professions,
the skillful trades or i'll more manual
employments. We are worth so much
an hour OF a day or a week by the serv-
ices we are able to render, and we are
paid According. The result is, if we
are not fools, that VIC want the best
money that circulates i'll exchange for
our services CT our property. and the less
our income the more we want the best.
The contention, therefore, seems I'M
answerable that a government or COM
munity, should establish the highestI
standard of money whereby to measured
these exchanges of labor and property
which constitute the business of thej
world. If this is not done, and the meas
| ure of value becomes variable, who suf-
fers? The men who have large resources
behind them or the men who have moth
ing but their hands and brains? MOST
assuredly the latter. A well known|
banker Of this town has often been heard
to say that the money standard did not|
and could not affect him, for he could
make money whether we were on a gold
or silver basis. So he could, and so can
any capitalist. 1t is the man who de-
ponds upon his labor that would suffer
by deprecated currency.
1t is the creditor class of the COM
munity, therefore, which is most inter-
ested in preserving the stability of the
| currency and its high value. But of
whom is the creditor class composed?
Manifestly of those to whom something
is due from day to day, from week to
week and from month to month. These
are the laboring people, the men at the
| desk, at the counter, at the forge, at
| the bench and at the plow. The toiler'
who patiently wields the shovel and
| the pick when nightfall Genes is a cred
| itor, and he is entitled to be paid for
his days labor in the best money the
country affords. And so throughout the
whole round of employment where men
and women receive wages.
Is it not, then, inexplicable that a
| large proportion of those who in the
sweat of their face earn their daily
thread, laying by perhaps trif1e from
Week to week toward rainy day, de-
posting it in savings bank-that
these should be led away by the cry for
cheap money? What do they want with
leap money. or poor mans" money?
If there is any difference, why should
they not have rich mems money?-Chi-
