THE republican sheets of this

ments on the speech that Congress
man Newiands recently made in
Reno, and nearly all have copied a
sloppy bit of stuff written by Am
brose Bierce in regard to Mr.. New
lands patriotism. What seems to
have aroused Mr.. Bierce's anger is
that our Congressman, whom he
says lis the joint representative Of
Dead Cow Springs, and Nevada"
would rather have war with Eng
land and end the now existing
Strengthened financial Circumstance
es than to have this country ground
down until She il placed beyond the
capability of putting up q winning
fight when the time does come for
war. Bierce is an expectoration
from England; heiis caustic writer,
handles English we'll, and gets well
paid for it by the San Francisco Er
0nsSner and a lot of Americans, who
wish they were English, you know,
who read his diatribes of this coun-
try.
He is not for moment to be
compared to such men as Newlands
so far as intellect is concerned, but
unfortunately he has not as much
money as the latter and has fallen
into the customary habit of spicy
writer's of maligning wealthy men
occasionally to see if they wont put
up few twenties to hush their
mouths in the future
And the republican press of this
State has run along in the same
groove for some years past. The
papers that are commenting adver-
sely on Newland's "war speech" as
they call it, all supported him for
Congress because they were paid to
do SO. If they did not like him
then why did they not say so?
But how about the speech? Mr..
Newlands said that war with Eng
land would be preferable to being
kept in bondage by the English
bond holders and their American
allies. There is not true American
citizen who does not feel the same
way That this great country of
ours should be placed in position
of slavery to England after our
forefathers gained her independence
is enough to bring the blush of
shame to the cheeks of any honest
American citizen. And that this
slavery should be brought about by
the duplicity of few American
(God save the marx citizens, makes
the ignomy doubly hard TO bear.
There is no reason why America
should not be the richest and most
prosperous nation on the earth, but
for the treachery of such man as
Sherman and the fine fnanciering
of Jew Rothschilds. But to-day
her people are in worse financial
straits than any nation. A few are
millionaires and the balance pau
pers. This shows a poor system of
government, and when it is under
stood where the dictation for such
government comes from, there is
no wonder that the blood of patriotic
Americans is heated, to a fighting
temperature. The most craven slave
will take his life his hand to
gain his liberty, and he is applaud
ed for doing it, but when an intel
igent man of means feels the same
throb in his heart for freedom and
SO expresses it to his fellow men,
who should (and the right kind do)
echo his sentiments, a rabble of
marplots spring up like a band of
hungry coyotes willing to rend him
to shreds. The timeis coming when
this country will have free coinage

HOLD UP YOUR HANDS!
Instead of Obeyfng, the Cashier
Reached for His Revolver.

WARREN, Ark, Feb ga daring, but
unsuccessful attempt was made to rob the
Merchants and Planters Bank, of this
place, to-day About $50 o'clock three men
entered the bank Two of them walked
Adair the cashier, was seated in CONVERSE
ton with Messrs. 7. NJ. Goodwin and d.
W. Sutton. Their first salutation was:
Hold up your hands!"
Mr.. Adair sprang for his pistol, when
the men began shooting. Mr.. Goodwin re-
ceived what is thought to be mortal wound
and Mr.. A1air was shot through the Shout
der. He returned the fire and evidently
wounded one OF the men, as, when he rode
off he was seen to be bleeding. The firing
of the pistols startled the citizens, who
came running from all directions and the
robbers were forced to retire without &C
complishing their object. AS they rode away
they kept up a fusillade OF shots and went
out northwest of town. The plans were
well laid and no doubt the bank would have
been looted but for the promptness OF Mr..
Adair with his pistol. Mr.. Goodwin Is in
a critical condition. Mr.. Adair's wound is
a very painful one, but not necessarily
dangerous In order to make their escape
more effective, it is thought the rascals
had a confederate to tamper with the tele-
graph wire and thus cut off communication.
Several citizens had narrow escapes from
the flying bullets and in the interior Of the
bank are many bullet HOES. A full de-
scrption of the men has been telegraphed
to all accessible points and a strong armed
force is in close pursuit of them.

THREE HOURS In JAIL.
Miss F1agIer Let on with Brief Inn
prisonment and $500 Fine.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 25-Miss Elizabeth
F'lagler, daughter of General Flagler, chief
of ordnance, II. s. A, who last spring shot
a c5iored boy named Green, son of Treas
ury Department messenger, was arraigned
in court to-day She pleaded guilty to in
voluntary manslaughter. and was sem
fenced to three hours in Jail and to pay a
fine of $500. General Flagler paid the fine,
and the young lady was conducted to Jail
tn serve the three hours.
The proceedings were the result Of an
agreement between District Attorney
Birney and Miss Flagler's lawyers.
An effort was made to keep
the trial from the knowledge of
the public, and for the purpose Judge
Cox called court half an hour before the
usual time. The district attorney said
This Is one of those unfortunate accidents
which does not call for anything but the
Iightest penalty in the power of the court
and Judge Cox declared the sentence with
out making an comments. Miss Flagler
was driven to the jail in her fathers car
riage, and was received by the warden
with great courtesy. She passed the three
hours in the matrons reception room in the
company of General Flagler and an aunt,
Mrs. Winthrop, and was then driven to her
home.

GRAY ON THE CUBAN QUESTION.
Mr. Gray was the next speaker. He
spoke of the forbearance the United States
had long since shown toward the Spanish
rule over Cuba, which was a constant
source of irritation. We should not stife
the feelings aroused by the sad condition
and the suffering of the Cuban people. This
sympathy was not confined to popular
meetings, but it had found expression in
constant diplomatic and official utterances.
The Senator said the resolution of belliger-
ency did not involve any affront to Spain.
The latter country had recognized the
Southern Confederacy, yet that had not in
terrupted the aniable relations between
the United States and Spain. How long
it's heart to the oppression of Spain in
Cuba, asked the Senator. How could We
refrain now from giving some expression
of American feeling Of sympathy with
Cuba? The present unnatural condition
could not last long. Spain could continue
her control of Cuba only by respecting the
rights and liberties of the Cuban people
that peace and prosperity shall prevail, or
else she must cease to govern them. Our
pulses will quicken" the Senator said,
when We hear of men shot to death for
upholding the banner that we upheld. But
1t is not becoming that the United States
should offer threat TO foreign country.
1t is, however, asking too much that We
should steel our hearts against those for
whom we have undeniable sympathy"
Mr.. Gray proceeded to urge that the rec
ognition of belligerency was not within the
powers of Congress. The President had the
sole power in that direction. This state
ment brought out sharp legal difference
between Mr.. Morgan and MIR. Gray, the
former asserting that the President had no
power to recognize beilgerents without the
approval of Congress. The Senator urged
the adoption of sympathetic resolutions.
Messrs. Lodge, Stewart and Call also
spoke briefly.
At O'Clock the resolutions were laid
aside, and. after Mr.. Squire had submitted
the report of the committee on coast de-
lenses, the Senate held a brief executive
session and at sos p. IN. adjourned until
tomorrow.

They took his horse and made break for

a large thicket in the middle of a pasture,
nine miles from town. The thicket is sur

men, who are fully armed, and escape is
almost impossible. They have sent in for
twenty-five additional men, who have just

be a noted desperate. 1t is also reported
that one of the famous Christian gang was

for the capture of the robbers. If not shot

House of Representatives that Thomas F.

guage above quoted has committed an Of
tense against diplomatic propriety and an
abuse of the privileges of his exalted posi-
