and kissed their burning lips as the spirit
winged its fight to God. Libery cannot be
extinguished when a people are unanimous
given them" An expression of sympathy
was a farce, continued the Senator. He de-
MED and repudiated the doctrine that every
from the islands before we could recognize
Cuba as Independent. Were We, God-fear-
ing people. to stand dImbly by. while this
bloody Spanish general drove these people
into a pen and slaughtered them?
VESTS PERORATON.
Mr. Vest closed as follows: "Shall We the
great exemplar of republican institutions
throughout the world declare that in our
opinion the people of Cuba are able to
maintain their independence and have
achieved It? Are we to wait until that island
is desolated by fire and sword? Are We. a
Christian and God-fearing people, to stand
silent and dumb while the Spanish COVER
nor. called a general. declares that he in
tends to pen up the people of Cuba and
butcher them into subjugation to the Span
ish throne? Sir, IL we do it, God will curse
US. If we do this thing and stand here
until desert has been made OF that splen-
did island YOU may be certain that the time
will come when there Will be retribution on
US as a people because We have not been
true to the task assigned US by Providence.
OF self-government as bequeathed TO US by
our fathers"
Mr. Gray responded briefly. He said that
If eloauence could free Cuba then the burn
ing words Just uttered would set her free,
but ne looked at the question from dis
passionate standpoint. and he could not see
how Cuba had established an actual state
of independence warranting a recognition
of such state by the United States.
Mr.. Nest-Was not our condition more
desperate when France recognized US?
Mr.. Gray-Yes, but France sent her fleet
and her armies and made war against the
country depressing us.
Mr.. Vest pointed out that. Holland and
Belgium had recognized the independence
OF the United States without sending fleets
and army, and had acted long before Brit
ish dominion had entirely disappeared from
this country In war, as In politics. said
Mr.. Vest. the expression of the belief of
the times brought about the realization OF
the belief expressed.
Mr.. Gray argued. as legal proposition.
that the United states could not yet reeog-
nize the Cubans as independent.
the debate ,o1 So Over until to"morrow. ana an
adjournment accordingly was taken.
There Is a probability that before the vote
is taken in the Senate on the Cuban reso-
luton, IL will be amended by adding the
minority resolution reported by Senator
Cameron requesting the President OF the
United States 10 use his good Offices with
Spain ,to secure a recognition of Cuban
independence. \ majority of the commit
tee, including Senator Sherman. are believed
TO be favorable To this proposition. Sen
ator Morgan, however, will oppose IL on the
ground that the two propositions are In
c,nsistent.

Abuses at Highland AsyIum

Editor Herald: A few months ago
there was published in The Herald an
account of the brutal treatment dealt
out to the unfortunate patients by some
of the attendants under the eyes of Su-
pervisor Kimbel and without the inter-
ference of the medical director of the
Highlands asylum. few Gays later,
Gov. James H. Budd and staff visited
the institution on a tour of investigation.
DR.. Campbell was duly notified of the
date Of their arrival and everything
made ready for their reception. They
arrived on an evening train, were re-
ceived by the management with smile,
wer shown through the kitchen while
supper was preparing, then back to the
office where a number of affidavits
were prepared and sworn to by the doc
tors and some of the lesser lights, stat
ing that what had been published in
The Herald was false, and that 1 was a
man withour any principle, and so low
down that it was no use to pay any at
tention to it. After the governor and
his staff had been dined and wined they
were shown through the halls where
the patients were all in bed and that
seems to be the end of the investigation.
Now If there is any man or set of men
in the state of California that have the
power to investigate the charges made
against the management of the High
land asylum 1t Is high time they We're up
and doing, and the abuses of the past
made impossible of repetition. Very re-

Hearing of the remarkable success
that the English and German Expert
Specialists were having with the x rays
Mr.. p presented himself to these emf
nent specialists and after careful ex-
animation it was decided to resort to the
Roentgen Rays for solution of this
much diagnosed difficulty.
-Four exposures We're made and each
plate revealed perfectly the outlines of
the tumor with a compacted mass of gail
stones occupying the central portion of
the so-called neoplasm. Here was the
solution of Mr. P's. mysterious tumor
made perfectly clear by the wonderful
x Rays. A thickened mass of intestine
lying over the gall bladder had obscured
the gall stones and thus misled the fore
most surgeons of Europe. The photo
plate shown below is the one used for
the subsequent operation which re-
moved nine large gall stones from the
gall sac. Mr.. p. has entirely recovered
from the operation and says he is per-
fectly well. This is certainly a most re-
markable case and speaks volumes in
favor of the English and German Expert
Specialists, who are sparing nothing that
promises relief to the chronic sufferers

Carlisle contradlcts Himself

Eoltor Herald: John G. Carlisle, in
explaining to the house committee on
banking and currency in the Fifty third
congress, used the following language in
his cross-examination before that COM
mittee:
Mr. Sperry-What class of money do
you now redeem in gold?
Mr.. Carlisle-United States legal ten
der notes of the old issue (greenbacks)
and treasury notes of 1890.
Mr.. Sperry-You do not redeem
silver certificates in gold?
Mr.. Carlisle-No; we never have done
so.
Mr.. sperry-You do not redeem silver
dollars in gold?
Mr.. Carlisle-Never
Mr.. Sperry-Your plan contemplates
the retirement Of greenbacks?
Mr.. Carlisle-Ultimately.
Mr.. Sperry-Then ultimately there
would be no paper money outstanding
payable in gold?
Mr.. Carlisle-No money which the
government would be bound to redeem
| In gold, except gold certificates.
Mr.. Sperry-If your plan should re-
tire the greenbacks there would be no
paper money on which the government
would have to pay gold?
Mr.. Carlisle-No, sir.
Mr.. Sperry-Then we would be on q
silver basis?
Mr.. Carlisle-No.
Mr.. Sperry-What basis would we
be on?
Mr.. Carlisle-On the same basis as
now. The government would continue
to receive gold and silver and gold and
silver certificates for customs and for
all dues to the government, and would
receive national bank notes for all dues
TO the government except customs, and
1t would maintain the parity of the two
metals in that way We do not maintain
the Darftv Of the fwn hV
deeming silver dollars or certificates in
gold, but by the constant practice of
receiving them in full satisfaction of
every debt due the government, and pay
ing the man to whom the government
owes money, gold if he wants 1t.
Mr.. Carlisle has kept himself on a
parity" with Mr.. Foster, Mr.. Harrison's
secretary of the treasury, and in perfect
accord with the gold-worshipers, by
pretending that 1t was necessary to re-
deem greenbacks and treasury notes of
1890 with gold, though they are only
payable in coin, and yet in this exam
ination he repudiates this gold fallacy
by asserting that it is the legal tender
functions of silver certificates and green
backs which give them their parity
that Is. they are received for customs
and all debts due the government-and
the parity is maintained in that way.
He says in rstong English, 1--WE do not
maintain the parity of the two metals
by redeeming silver dollars or certifi-
Gates in gold, but by the constant prac-
tice Of receiving them in full payment
of -anx deht .diie tho ha-gnvernment" Re-
|, port on banking and currency, page 2S.
Had Mr.. Carlisle been true to his for
mer teachings and not pandered to the
practices of Republican secretaries, nor
been dwarfed by Cleveland and Wall
street, there would have been no neces-
sity to have sold s262, ,000, 900 of bonds by
Mr. Cleveland to keep up the endless
chain which has drawn from the
treasury in the past five years 1851 900. 900
OF gold for greenbacks and treasury
notes never intended to be paid for in
gold. JOHN SHIRLEY WARD.

nr. Wards Reply to Mr.. Redmon

Editor Herald: There is only one
point In Mr.. Redmon's article in Sun
days issue which merits a reply, and
1 reply in order to fix definitely in the
minds of the gold worshipers one ba-
sal idea. and in order to do this quote
y from my former paper, and also Mr..
Redmon's reply.
I said: "The United States has only
one gold obligation. and that is to pay
its gold certificates in gold and that
gold Is on deposit to pay them" To
which Mr.. Redmon replies as follows
Surely 1t cannot be that Mr.. Ward in
tends to convey the impression that the
government has on deposit sufficient
gold to meet all the outstanding gold
certif1cates!" We meant to say just what
we did say, and now prove it by refer
ence to the report of the treasury Of
March l, 1896 At that date there had
been coined or issued: Gold coin, $685.
168, ,106; gold certificates, $44 3S4, ,4S9, and
of these gold certificates 1851, 40 were in
the treasury and $1S, 1888 019 were in cir
culation.
The United States holds the coin as
a special deposit for security, and these
certificates and this coin is no part of
the general gold in the treasury. There
is a belief, born of ignorance, that all
the United States bonds, as well as the
greenbacks, are payable in gold, but
there is not a word of truth in it. At
the time these bonds and greenbacks
were issued, the Republican party DOM
mated congress, but they were too wise
to make these obligations payable In
gold. If states, corporations or indi-
viduals have given their obligations pay
able in gold they have been less wise
than the United States, and the payers
of these notes and bonds must not eX-
pect congress to help them out of this
trouble by forcing us on a gold standard
to meet debt for which the United States
is not responsible.

How He Won His Bot.

"Eay," said the fresh young man, "I'u
bet you that can strike that man stand
ing there three times with my cane and
that will not get into fight either be-
fore or after"
The group OF young men. oil OF whom
were just as gay, readily took up the wa
ger. They could not understand how B.
could strike the stranger without produo-
ing q riot in the hotel lobby, where they
stood.
B. then set about hitting the stran-
ger three times for the ediication of his
companions.
The target stood at the water cooler
drinking. B., having placed his cane at
an angle Of 46 degrees, sauntered up to
him as though he, too, was about to take
a drink. When he got quite close, he sud-
denly swung around as though to turn his
back while waiting for the glass. AS he
did SO his projecting cane raped the old
man on the elbow. Quick as flash he
turned in the opposite direction. as though
to face the stranger and apologize. The
turn again swung the walking stick
against the others body.
B. at this juncture bowed very hum
bly, and begged tho strangers pardon with
great depth Of feeling and Chesterfeldian
courtesy.
Certainly, sir; certainly" answered
the victim.
There was still one more rap to be ad-
ministered. This was given as B. turn
ed to leave the spot.

pardon. 1 assure you that 1t shall not oc-
cur again"
Once more he was forgiven. Then he
returned to his friends, who joined in the
hearty laughter. Louisville Courier Jour-

Numerous Stolen Wheels

The police are looking for a young
woman who gives the name of Laura
White, and residence as Twenty third
street. On Wednesday morning last
the young woman rented a bicycle at
Watts cyclery, corner of Washington
and Figueroa streets, saying she would
be gone an hour. Laura never came
back and the wheel has not been re-
covered. 1t has become a common prac-
tice of late for parties to go to rentalry,
procure a wheel and either steal 1t or,
after riding it several days leave it
alondside the sidewalk. During the past
week there have been seven stolen
wheels reported at headquarters, among
which was the valuable machine belong-
ing to Emil Ulbricht
