The Consumer Pays the Fidler.

When n tax is imposed on raw
wool an injury ia done t0 the man
ufacturPr OF w0olens by increasing
the price he must pay for his raw
material. To rectify this injury
what is called "compersating
duty" is believed upon woolens.
This enables the manufactures Ia
compensate himself for dearer
wool by selling to his customers
dcarcr woolcns. AS result, the
tax on wool and the added tax on
wOolcns are piled on the back OF
the poor devil who has to buy n
coat for himself or Il peticoat for
his wife. There Is no attempt tn
"compensate" him, and no means
OF doing II. He bears the whole
burden.

Our own Roosevelt Talks.

Mr.. james II. Roosevelt, Secre-
tary of the United States Embassy
in London, who arrived in New
York yesterday, declared that "the
English people do not care one jot
about the Cuban question or tho
position of the United States in re-
gard to Cuba" This view, no doubt
fairly reflects the sentiment OF En-
glishmen respecting the position
which our Government has thus
far maintained as neutral. But
that any departure from that posi-
tion would be viewed with equal
unconcern is not at all likely, es'
pecially if such departure should
be capable of being construed as
foreshadowing policy Of aggran
dizement under the new Admins

The New Immigration Bill In Nut
Shell.

The new Immigration bill passed
by the Senate puts the intending
immigrant who has not been taught
to read and write under the same
ban of exclusion as the pauper, the
lunatic, the idiot or the criminal.
An unfurnished head and an un-
furnished pocket are certainly
great misfortunes. But there is
much more danger to the country
In letting into II certain gentry
who can read and write, and who
have money to pay their way, than
In the admission Of strong-handed
sons of toll who come hither TO
better their fortunes by earning
honest livings, but who do not
know how TO read book or com
nit forgery. IL Is mistake TO
put Ignorance Ia the same category
with crime.

Hear Their Cry.

| Truth crushed to earth will rise again,
| The eternal years OF God are hers,
| But error, wounded, writhes in pain,
And dies amidst her worshipers.
One cannot look toward the is
land of Cuba without feeling the
spirit of liberty there crushed and
wounded, and yet praying to al
civilized men and women TO come
to the reliefof the oppressed people
of that distracted island. Are the
Cubans to be deserted? +? Is liberty
to lie bleeding there? Is hope to
be driven from out the stout hearts
that have battled so long for free
dom? Do the people of this country
know how they have suffered and
struggled and hoped against hope ?
In the arts of torture the Span
lard has no equal; in the appli-
cation of vengeance he stands out
today IN history as he does in his
very nature, the embodiment Of
cruelty, tyranny and treachery.
Read again the history of the con-
quest of Peru and of Mexico, of the
Inquisition, and add to it this chap
ter of darker history that is being
written, right in the face Of the
people Of America, in Cuba. Is
there God of justice? Is there a
God ofsympathy, that takes coguiz-
ance of the struggles Of heroic men
and women in their efforts for lib
erty and for life in these days in
which we live? Ifso, will he not
touch the hearts of the people in
civilized countries, yea, III this So
called civilized America, ana in
some way lead them TO the help Of
the Cubans, to crush these cruel
Spaniards that are only 0beying
the will of the Spanish crown that
is trying to perpetuate its power
over these people, soaS to inflict on
them still heavier burdens if posi-
BILE than they have been forced to
bear for two centuries?
Something must be done; some
thing will be done. Liberty must

the south, it was never to be com
pared with the slavery of the
Cubans to the Spaniards. A slave,
then, was property; he had to be
cared for in order that he might
work and earn and he in condition
to be sold again, but these poor
Cubans have no such protection. If
the Spaniard succeeds they must
work and die in the work in order
to pay back the war debt that has
been incurred for there enslave-
ment. But not many of them
would be left. The vengeance OF
Spain would Obliterate them from
the earth and Cuba would be turn

Protecting Silver.

1t is now proposed to try on the
producers of silver the game which
the Protectionists have so success
fully practiced for many years up
tn the farmers of the country. An
addition is 10 be made to the metal
schedule of the tariff providing for
a sliding scale tariff on silver
bullion equal to the difference be-
tween the market price for an
ounce of silver and its gold price.
1t is safe to say that under such a
tariff rating no silver would be i'm
ported
Silver is a commodity which, like
wheat, corn and cotton, we produce
largely in excess of our needs. IL
never has helped the farmer to put
protective duty on wheat, corn
and cotton, and IL would be of no
benefit to the silver producers to
put prohibitory tariff on foreign
silver. They are alike obliged to
find a market for their surplus in
foreign countries. But the people
have been fooled so often and so
long with "protective bait that the
scheme OF trying to catch silver
gudgeons with it may not prove
altogether abortive. There is
wonderful grip on popular gullibil-
ity IN that word "protection."-

Why some persons will suffer with
the eXcruciating pangs of rheumatism,
when they can be so easily cured by
that greatest of pain-cures, Salvation
Oil, is past human comprehension.

tism is evidenced by Mr.. G.. +. Schra-

no linimcnt on earth like it. had the
rheumatism for several months and
could get no relief until | used Sal,

a cure, and L feel as we'll as ever. No

ware, you'll be victimizcd. Insist on

income of the corporations to such pur-
poses. To do this we have to deal with
the property of corporations whose char
ter powers have Iapsed, and all their prop
erty is forfeited to and invested in the
United States under existing laws. We
have to administer on the estates OF two
corporations that have ceased to exist
under those laws for the forfeiture of their
charters to the power that granted them,
and can continue to exist only with the
consent of Congress-" Hence the pro-
vision in his scheme reviving the corpora
tions is for the purpose of administration
on their estates and for no other purpose.
This is very different revivor from the
one proposed in the funding bill which
Mr.. Huntington has caused to be intro
duced. This bill is complete revivor, re-
storing wholly condition and power
that have lapsed, and in restoring them
the Government will sacrifice every prin.
ciple which their creation represented. It
is hoped that Senator Morgan will yet be
able to appear in person and make the
fight on the floor of the Senate.

A BUNKO GAME.

The attempt of some of the leaders of the
Democratic party to make a com bination
with the Populists in the Congressional
districts this fall should not be overlooked
by those earnest and sincere Populists
who believe in principles more than in the
spoils of Office. Fopuiism as a political
organization has nothing to gain from
such combination, whatever individual
office-seekers might hope for. Democracy
is laden this year with all the disasters of
free trade, all the offenses of the Cleveland
administration, al! the blunders of Wilson,
Morton, Smith and Olney, and is involved
in thousand faction fights. What can
honest Populists hope for in making a
common cause with such a demo-alized
gang as that?
To the Democratic bosses hopeless of
carrying single Congressional district in
California on straight contest, any scheme
that will gain votes here and there will
seem good politics. Every Populist vote
they can get for Democrat will count as
an Endorsement of Cleveland. 1t will be
recorded as an approval of the Wilson
tariff. the goldbug money system, the
wreck of American industry for the sake
of foreign trade and all the evils of def
cient revenue, syndicate bond deals, gold
exports and the increase of the public
debt in a time of profound peace.
If the Populists can be induced to cast
votes for Democrats in the face of the rec
ord of this Democratic administration,
they will have to give up all hope of ever
being recognized as an Independent party.
By holding straight course they have
now an opportunity to take the place in
our political system which the Democrats
have forfeited by their blunders and
follies. Only an ordinary degree of
sagacity and courage is needed for
organized Populism to cast more votes in
the West ald in the Mississippi Valley
this fall than the Democrats will cast.
This would mean for the Populists a
prestige that would enable them in suc-
ceeding elections to absorb Democrats in
stead of being absorbed by them. No
wonder then the Democratic leaders and
office-seekers in California are willing to
make the combination. These Office
seekers have in fact so much to gain by
the trade that the thing looks very much
like an attempt at bunko game.

the sidewalk for dis tance OF eight feet at the
widest point. There is no place where it does
not extend at least six feet, except at the Sides
where it slopes back to the wall. To enter the
gate is like going through tunnel. As the
hedge grew outward it increased in weight and
bent downward so that at the outside edge it
is hardly five feet above the sidewalk and
pedestrians are compelled to bow their heads
in order % pass beneath it. The whole under
portion of the hedge is a mass of dead
branches.
That portion of the hedge that is within the
yard has not extended in a horizontal direc-
ton at all, and in that fact is the solution of
the unusual growth of the other portion of it.
The hedge is on the north side of Bush street,
and the yard behind it rises at rather steep
angle. AS consequence, the outside of the
hedge gets all the sunshine and also the re-
fected heat from the sidewalk. The other side
Is, of course, in shadow and at the same time
shades the yard beside it making the spot very
cold. The young leaves naturally turn toward
the warmth and cause the hedge to grow all on
one side. If the yard behind the hedge was
level that portion of it that the sun could
reach would be warmed and diffuse it's heat
among the leaves, but as things are it is so high
that 1T does no gooo. Two years ago when the
hedge was much smaller it presented an artis-
tic appearance, but at present it can only be
looked upon as an obstruction to the sidewalk.
