Gen. Maceo, the Cuban patriot leader,
has been foully murdered. Gen. Weyler,
the head of the Spanish forces, evidently
consented to the deed. Naturally the
whole civilized world is indignant and
our congress is beginning to think the
time has come for action on the part OF
the United States. The people of this
country would heartily second any move
ment by congress looking to the assis-
tance of the Cubans; indeed, many OF
them are clamorlng to have such assis-
tance given at once. 1t is to be feared,
however. that the conservative element
IN the national legislature, and especial
ly that large portion of it which looks
chiefly at the dollars and cents side OF
every question, may prevent decisive
legislation, at least for the present.

AGRICULTURAL DEPRESSION AND THE
REMEDIES PROPOSED.

There have been few men In this
country who have won the heart of the
nation as much as Peter Cooper. A
man of large wealth and large ability
to make wealth, Mr.. Cooper ever used
that wealth most literally for the bene-
fit of his fellow-citizens. He founded
and gave to the city of New York the
Cooper Institute, which perhaps has ac-
complished with its free library and art
schools, more for the good of the people
than any other institution of beneficence
in that great city. 1t stands as a centre
of benefcent action, and the highest
Christian principle, the principle of max
ing the world better and happier.
The views of such man as Mr..
Cooper on great economic questions are
most valuable, because both of the un-
selfish character of his life and his great
business abilities. Mr.. Cooper thus
wrote to President Hayes in 1873 con-
cerning the destruction of our silver
money:
The decentralization of silver was a
trick of the enemies of the poor mans
currency. The reconciliation of silver
will be a great relief now, in the de-
preston of all business, if not the tinal
and best measure. There is
fast forming in this country an aristoc
Iacy of wealth. the worst form of aris
tocracy that can curse the prosperity Of
any country.
Mr.. Cooper further emphasized hi'
confidence in the wisdom Of silver coin
age in these remarks:
With regard to the demonetiZation ol
silver, every intelligent man must SCI
that as silver now forms more than one
half of the coined money of the world
the effect of demonetizlng silver mus
not only lessen the value of the world
money, but must appreciate the valu,
of gold IN proportion as the value of sill
yer has been reduced The plan for de
monetizing silver is said TO have beef

treasurer plan of collecting its taxes,
provision for which is made in the stat
utes. The 90 days allowed taxpayers to
settle with the treasurer and obtain a
discount expired Tuesday night. The
following statement shows the re-
suits, approximately, though the cor
rection of errors in listing, ETC., will re-
duce the amount now apparently unpaid
to considerable extent:
