AN rNsuRGENT SUCCESS.

A New York World correspondent in
Cuba sends word that the insurgents
have seized Spanish convoy killing.
wounding OF capturing the entire gov
eminent force of three hundred men
that accompanied it. If the report be
correct, it IS a signal success for the
Cubans. 1t may be that they are be-
ing equipped with some of the newer
and better arms which the Laurada
and other vessels have been carrying
to the island. The insurgents wiz soon
be as well or better armed than the
Spanish soldiers. Speaking of arms, a
London letter to the New York Sun
states that an English journalist who
was recently in Barcelona, sends an
account of the latest Spanish levies
ordered to Cuba He says their condi-
tion was wretched beyond description;
that their clothes were not only of the
poorest material, but worse made. This
Journalist says that "all the depots
have been depleted of war stores and
at least 1900 men have recently been
sent to Cuba without arms in the be-
would be found for them by capture
from the insurgents
All this shows to what a miser-
able condition Spain is reduced. Her
finances are as low as can be and she
cannot supply those munitions OF war
which are absolutely necessary with
out paying cash for them, and this she
has not, nor has she the credit to bor-
row it. That she can suppress the
Cuban rebellion seems impossible.
Given the encouragement that a rec
ognition of beliigerency would give
them and the Cubans would in all
probability very soon achieve their in
dependence. If this recognition is to
be given them by this country it should
be given Immediately that 1T may be of
benefit to them

PHYSICAL INSTEAD OF MENTAL.

Lii Hung Changs greatness, of which
so much has been said by correspon-
dents, seems to be physical rather than
intellectual. He is man of powerful
stature, but critics who have observed
his heterogeneous and speeches must
admit that there is a greater disparity
between his physical and intellectual
endowments than there is between gold
and silver. His remarks have seldom
risen above mediocrity, while his in
terrogatories are such as one would
of one who had spent his life in re-
gions and among people far beyond the
realm Of civ!liza ton and enlighten-
ment. If correspondents are to be re-
lied on, his first inquiry upon being in
troduced was as to the persons age.
Then some other trivial and unimport-
ant questions would be asked Ameri-
can sewing circles can boast of
broader, deeper and more penetrattve
intellectually than this, say nothing
of American craftsmanship. Lii Hung
Chang has been more interested in our
TAI Du1lulHSS tudIl III OuI COlHIleTCldl
resources, and is more interested in the
height Of Washington's monument than
in the fundamental principles of
American society and citizenship He
gave a passing glance at the flower of
our navy and spent half an hour max
ing an ocular survey of the city of
Washington from the steps of the capt.
toll 1t is hardly fair to measure the
Chinese premier with the yardstick of
American craftsmanship, for he has
had no such opportunity to cultivate
his intellect as is afforded the Ameri-
can citizen, but if so measured he
would be found to be far below the
standard At this distance he appears
to be a statesman among school boys
and a school boy among statesmen.

SEEING MKINLEY.

That the many delegations which go
to Canton in special trains and call
upon Major Mckinley are the result
of Trepressdble enthusiasm is not to be
believed for a single moment, They
are undoubtedly part of Hanna's plan
of campaign, gotten UP for the purpose
Of preventing the goldbug candidate
from being entirely forgotten. and to
afford him an opportunity to make a
little speech without saying anything.
These delegations come and go at def
mite periods and with all the regularity
of the tides. These delegations are of
such uniform size and appear at such
regular periodicals that the suspicion
is growing that it is the same delega-
ton each time under new name; that
the marching I'D to and past that IA
nous front is done on the same princi-
pie that a squad of soldiers in a mill
taTy drama is made to appear as a
large army by marching and remarch-
ing past an open window. The effect
is always pleasing though the people
do know just how it is produced.

IMPORTED LABOR.


There is great depression in the Con-
nelsvihe coke regions. There are in
the region 1891 ovens, but only 1900
are IN blast at the present time. A
very large number of the coke workers
are foreigners, and they are beginning
an exodus to Europe. They make the
claim, and probably have experience
PACK OF them to warrant it, that in case
OF protracted dullness they can go back
to their old homes in Europe and live
there until the return of good times,
and then return to the coke regions and
| be better off than if they had remained
in the United States during the depres-
sion
These men have been induced to come
to this country in times of labor troubles
to supplant our native workmen. The
great combines and trusts have been
permitted to do this, but the men who
have been thrown out of work have not
been permitted to do anything but re-
main idle. These imported coke workers
are mostly Huns and Poles, and are
not in any sense desirable addition to
our population. Their standard of liv-
ing is so low that no American can
hope to compete with them In the
United States their object is, in min
ing perlance, to gut the mine" and not
to develop it. Of American institutions
they know nothing and care less. They
are a continual source of annoyance
and trouble to the government. for be-
ing foreigners their quarrels, when they
are serious or fatal, always become in
ternational affairs, to be adjusted
through diplomatic channels Within a
year or two the country has been treat
ed to the spectacle of such imported
laborers as these who are returning
to Europe banding themselves together
for the purpose of preventing American
citizens earning an honest living. AT
their going everybody should rejoice.
As to their returning, well, they should
not be allowed to return. If the immi-
grafton laws are for the purpose of ex-
Guiding any class it is this very class
that is now leaving the coke regions.
These laws should be rigidly enforced
against them

PRAcr1c1NG BASE DECEPTION.

One thing can be depended upon, and
that is that the so-called sound money
Democrats, notwithstanding the fact
that they have placed a ticket of their
own in the field. will vote for Mr. Nc
Kinley almost to a man. The sound
money ticket was placed in the field
osnensibLy for the purpose of affording
the gold element of the party an oppor-
tunity to vote a Democratic ticket, but
in reality and primarily for the pur-
pose of enabling gold Democrats to
campaign against the regular Demo-
cratic ticket as Democrats The man
ayers of the Sound money party be-
Heve that they can draw more Demo-
cratic votes away from Mr.. Bryan by
appealing as Democrats to Democrats,
than they could by laboripg outright
for Mckinley. The energy and efforts
of the sound money" element will be
directed against free silver and against
Mr.. Bryan. It is not the intention of
the sound money" men to do anything
that wild take one vote away from Mr.
Mckinley. The truth is the Sound
money men are wearing the mask of
deceit. They viii labor secretly for
Mr. Mckinley and publicly for Mr..
Palmer. Only such voters will be en-
couraged to vote for MIR. Palmer as
refuse to vote for Mr.. Mckinley. The
sound money" Democrats are there
fore simply AN adjunct to the Repub-
lican party. They have entered the
fight, not to elect Mr.. Palmer, but to
defeat William J. Bryan and free sill
yer. The scheme is a base conspiracy
to thwarr the aims of justice, and is
as dishonoraible as 1T is bold.

OUR NEW ELECTION LAW.

Elsewhere in this issue will be found
an epitomization of Utah's new cleo
ton law. 1t is the Australian ballot
system and is a very radical departure
from our old system CT voting, as ii is

voter in the state should carefully
study this epitomization and if this is
done there viii be no laundering at the

held and nominations made each party

them among the voters, the only thing
the state. or rather government, fur
pished, being the envelopes. This year
all will be different; the agents of po-
litical parties VIII have nothing to do
with the printing or distribution of
tickets.
The officers of various political organ
izatfons throughout the state should
thoroughly familiarize themselves
with all the provisions of the law,
and IL would be well for them to see
that The voters are thoroughly posted
on how to mark and cast their ballots.
The voters of the state will be doubled
in number this year, but there is little
question that the women will as read

new system as the men.
This whole matter is most important
and all who have this epitomization of
the election laws should preserve it. 1t
is thoroughly reliable in every respect,
having been prepared for The Herald
by gentleman familiar with election
matters and who may be said to be an
authority upon them.

bismarck played the Tune.

Here is another story of Prince Bis
marck that is told on the authority of
a German paper: 1t was during the reign
of Emperor William l., when the present
emperor was a boy, that Prince Bis
marck, walking one day through a cor
ridor of the royal palace at Berlin, came
upon strange scene. Hearing within
the room which ne passed a great racket.
he opened the door and saw the young
grandsons of the emperor dancing about,
while their father, the crown prince,
ground the handle of a hand organ. All
were in high spirits, and, seeing the
chancellor, the young princess laughing
ly invited him TO join in the dance. Prince
Bismarck declined, but he offered to
turn the organ If the crown prince would
ioin his sons. Prince Frederick con-
scented. and the chancellor turned the
handle with great animation. The
laughter and sport grew louder with the
increased speed of the playing. Just
then the old emperor came in. He took
in the situation at a glance. 81 see. my
Lord chancellor" he said with q smile,
that you are beginning early to make
the princes dance to your music"

Eyes too far away, and too full of long

Go not, go not whittier I cannot follow,
