Donhoes rIagazlne For May.

Donahoe's for May is, as usual, bright,
timely, varied, and entertaining, and has
more than it's ordinary amount Of artls-
tic illustration. The leading article is
snappy discussion Of the issues of the aD-
preaching presidential campaign from
the pen of ex-Congressman w. J. Bryan,
of Nebraska, the brilliant young orator
whose eloquence won him national fame
during his congressional career. The
character and abilities Of Archbishop
Ryan, of Philadelphia, are made the sub
iuct of appreciative analysis by Rev.
John Talbot Smith. Several examples
are given of this gifted prelate's brilliant
wit, and oratory, and his position on the
prominent Catholic questions of the day
is set forth. Bernard Morgan contrib
utes a carefully studied paper on THE
Spirit of Frederick Leighton illustrat-
ing his text with many pictures by this
great painter lately deceased. Lights

tour of inspection of this picturesque

ion, are treated In the form OF dia-
logue by Hon. Ignatius DOnnelly and
Rev. John Conway, A. NJ. The argu-
ments pro and con are most interestingly
handled in this novel form OF magazine
writing. Joseph @. Drum writes on the
Revival Of the Olympic Games treating
the subject historically, and lntrud1ng

THE MONEY CONTEST

Injustice That is Done to Debtors by
the Gold Standard.
The contest which is being Waged over
the money question is largely contest
between the creditor class and the pro-
ducers of wealth. The man who owns
a dollar is just as much interested in hav-
ing those dollars rise in value as the man
who owns lands is interested in having
land rise in value, while the man who
owes dollars and must obtain them by
selling the products of his labor is un-
justly oppressed by a law which makes
dollars harder to get. Debts are payable
in dollars, and the mortgage calls for the
same number of dollars, no matter how
dear those dollars may become, writes W.
J. Bryan in Donahoe's Magazine.
Mr.. Blaine understood this when he
said in 1878 that the adoption Of gold as
the sole standard of value would have a
ruinous effect on all forms of property
except those investments which yield a
fixed return in money, and added, these
would be enormously enhanced in value,
and would gain disproportionate and
unfair advantage over all other forms OF
property Mr.. Sherman understood it
when he said in 1869 that the contraction
of the currency would bring disastrous
consequences to all except the capital
list out of debt, the salaried officer, and
annuitant." Mr. Carlisle understood
this when in 1878 he predicted that the
secretary of the treasury Oohn Sherman)
would coin as little money as possible
under the Bland act because he was In
sympathy with the "idle holders Of idle
capital" rather than with the strug-
Cling masses who produce the wealth
and pay the taxes of the country Eng
land, great creditor nation, insists on a
gold standard and defends her position,
in the language of Mr.. Gladstone, because
she is interested in having dollars dear.
The northeastern states are in favor OF the
gold standard because they represent the
creditor class in the United States. The
people of the West and South are advo-
Gates of bimetallism because they feel
most keenly the injustice done by ris-
ing standard. The farmer who sees his
mortgage increase from year to year be-
cause of the fall in the price Of his prod
ucts has as much legal right to protect
himself land higher moral right as the
Eastern creditor has to demand g. dollar

Such Is the Opinion the Cubans Have
of Cleveland.
Washington, May "a morning paper
publishes an interview with Guillermo M.
Luis, business man of Cuba, who has
Just arrived here, in which that gentleman
is reported as saying: 'The sentiment in
Havana against President Cleveland is al
most as intense as that against Gen. Wey-
Ter. I do not mean by this that this opin-
ion of Mr.. Cleveland Is entertained only by
the insurgents and their friends; it is the
universal feeling and is given utterance
by Englishmen, Germans, Frenchmen and
representatives of all nationalities. am
just from Havana and heard on every side
expressions Of the most bitter hatred
against your president. He IS denounced
as a moral coward, an accomp1ics Of Wey-
Ter and as much responsible for the atroci-
ties and brutalities of the Spaniards as Wey-
Ter himself This feeling does not extend

sympathy with the patriots is most CRATE

Bile. Not long ago got inside the insur-
gent lines and tell you with all sincerity
that they have an excellent organization
nothing in the way of snowy equipment,
but all the materials and men for carrying
on the war. In my judgment Maceo and
Gomez are outgeneraling the Spaniards.
It takes 50 900 of them to guard the trocha
in order to hem in the patriot chief with
only ten thousand, and yet the latter goes
through the fortified lines whenever he gets
ready. i In the East. Gomez is left free to do
as he pleases and at no distant day he will
bring up his men from every point OF the
compass and they will administer such a
crushing blow to the enemy as will virtually
settle the contest. 5$.
.'The final blow will fall on Spain when
the Cuban armies march on Havana. They
will find the entire population rising to
welcome them; even those who have hith-
erto sided with Spain, and the rocket Of
dynamite will be heard in every public
building. predict that ere Christmas the
Cuban people will be cheering their presi-
dent In the palace OF the Plaza de Armas."

The Seasons Musical Event.

Sousa and his celebrated band, will
appear at the Central opera house,
Martin street, Monday, May IS.
Since David Blakely prevailed up
on Mr.. Sousa to- resign his position
in Washington, where he served the
government as leader Of the Marine
Band, fortune and increased fame
have come to the distinguished lead
er. His success and popularity are
certainly as much due to his musical
compositions as to his other abilities.
The whole country has been hum
ming, drumming and drumming the
Washington Post, Liberty Bell, =
High School Cadets and eManhat-
tan Beach marches for the last year
The royalties which Sousa gets from
these places amounts to an enormous
sum yearly-over S25,ooo, it is stat
ed. Besides this rather respectable
income there is fat salary for his ser
vices as leader and no small share Of
the profits of the concerts. All this
has come within three years. Sc
much for getting in touch with ths
great public.
Sousa undoubtedly knows what the
average audience wants IN music, ard
the programmes are got up with ex
traordinary tact. Selections will com;

things in orchestral and band compo
