little over one hundred years ago
this nation was in the same fix as
Cuba is now. France defed le-
gal bubbles and came to our
rescue on broad humanitarian
principles and assisted at the
birth of the greatest and grand
est government of the. earth.
Has this government and people
forgot all about this now? And
shall we stand idle and see liber-
ty and life, and every princi-
pie of right and justice trodden
underfoot, and not Stir one step
to help the down trodden?
Well, five are, may the. ven
geance' Of a just God smite this
nation from it's high pinnacle of
hypocritical pretention to civil
ization and christianity. May an
earthquake shake the statute Of
liberty into the ocean and the
White House into the Potomac
with it's pampered duck hunter
to boot.
What have we built our great
navy and INDUSTRIOUS guns for if
not to hunt down such an inhu-
man butchers of this Weyler?
What era international law and
regulations good for anyway, if
Wal of determination can go on
in open daylight without let or
hindrunce? The United States
government must do one or the
other of two things in the Cuban
affair if it wants to preserve any
decency or pretense to human
ity. It must either give Cuba
aid Of a substantial character at
once, or it must send ships to
deport all noncom batants that
want to leave the Island. To
leave the non com Blatant Cuban
population to be butchere>, en-
masse without chance to escape
is too horrible to contemplate. 1t
would be Il blot on this nation
that could never be washed off.
If the admins tration does not
act soon, a volunteer army
should be organized in this coun-
try for the relief Of the Cubans.
10000 we'll armed American vol
unteers could drive the Spain
ards Off Cuba in four weeks. If
Grover Cleveland should be. seri-
ously disposed to prevent this,
the army might visit Washing
ton first and clean the cage of all
the vipers and Shiny broods that
TEEN there.
It is a sad but solemn truth
that we are little, ii any, ahead of
our heather barbarian ancestors,
or even the so called savage In
dian. In view of our superior
advantages, we are no doubt
more to blame. And it is a mel
ancholy reflection that the shores
Of the Mediterranean, the birth
place Of civilization and christi
unity. should to day be the home
Of the Turk and the Spainard.

if question, forgetting all the tradi'
tons of their party, sought to have
Republicans in this chamber who were
devoted to bimetallism and protection,
two elementary principles of Republi.
can faith. put in such a position as
apparently to be compelled to vote
against one of their principles in or.
der to secure the success of the other.
Some gentlemen who pretended to I'm.
derstand the situation refused to co.
operate. TO the candid jugdment Of
honest men I leave the determination
of questions relating to the fidelity OF
Republicans in this senate to thei1
party principles. The Republicans
alleged to have proven recreant to
Republican principles resisted the eff.
fort of the administrator to strike the
last silver coinage law from the stat.
ute books; they resisted the passage OF
the Wilson: they resisted the issuance
of bonds in time of peace; they resist
ed the contraction of the currency by
| the retirement of the greenback, and
they now resist an inferential viola
ton of the principles of the Republi-
can party platform, by resisting ap-
| prevail of horizontal tariff revision
and ad-valorem duties and the Wilson
bill. On protection and bimetallism
as the basis of the economic and fl
nancial policy of the country the
whole West is united. The party
which accepted the one and ridicules
the other cannot expect support from
the people of that section of the coun-
try.'
When Blaine died, and the
gold bugs killed him, the guild
ing star of the Republican party
went out forever. He was the
last Roman Of the Republican
Party. Had he lived there would
have been no gold raid on the
the treasury, and no panic such
as we have had. His influence
over the Republican party was
such that he could practically
control it in an eme- gency. And
no matter what his faults may
have been, his whole public Ca
reer shows that his patriotism
and craftsmanship always rose
to the occasion when a crisis in
the affair of the nation was threat
ened. Evidence has come to
light of late that shows that
Blaine practically told the gold
spectators of Wall street to
keep their hands off the gold re-
serve, and they obeyed him.
But as soon as he was out of the
way. both Harrison and Foster
were inveigled in the meshes of
these sharks, toasted and feast
ed and made to commit them
selves to pay gold whenever it
was wanted.
Why, in 1890 when Mckinley
and the rest of the Republicans
were framing the famous Nc
Kinley bill, Blaine had to come in
at the last moment and dicipiine
the whole lot, or they would have
passed a bill that would have
killed the party for good.
Since LincoIn's death Blaine
has been the genius of the glory
of the Republican party.
The action in congress of the
Republican party shows very
clearly that no guiding star is at
the helm so far. And the party
will undoubtedly have to pass in
to the wilderness before it will
develope another great mind
to guide it's destiny.

While Bob Younger was examining

was at right angles to the rear door Of
the bank. reasoned quickly that I

SHE WAS IN ERROR.
The Little Smut on Harry's Face Wat
Something Else, 1t TRANSFERRED.

The accident happened in Georgetown
recently, and it may be told briefly rs fol-
lows: The two leading characters are
young woman of 20 and young man
of 10.
AS very frequently happens to youth
of these tender years, this one is desperately
in love with girl older than himself. AS
is also often the case, a girl of ~ is plenty
old enough to be an 1s-year-old boys
mother, and this particular girl is one of
the real old kind. She likes the smooth
faced boy and treats him pretty much as
If he were her son, taking interest in his
dress, his department, his amusements,
his work and all that sort Of thing. She
calls him Harry" too, or would if his
name were Henry, which it isn't, and all
the way through is just the kind of girl
this kind of young fellow falls in love
with.
When he is older, he will be falling In
love with another kind, but let ~ not an
ticipate He is an ambitious boy and
wants to be a man and have whiskers-as
what boy does not?-and when he went
away on two weeks visit, just before
the time of this episode, he thought he
would give himself chance. When he
returned home week ago, the first thing
he did was to 60 and call on the young
woman. She was glad to see him and
looked him over carefully and critically
to sec how he had stood the excitement Of
two weeks of life outside Of Georgetown.
Excuse me, Harry" she said, "but
there is little smut on your lip"
The guileless Harry, knowing her kind
ly ministration, whipped out his handker-
chief and essayed to rub 1t off.
SIS it gomez" he asked, after the man.
ner of those who rub smut off their faces
when reminded to do SO by kind friend.
LET me have your handkerchief, shs
replied, and she moistened it on her pretty
lips and gave the smut rub.
She shook her head, and Harry was be-
ginning to grow nervous.
"Let me have the handkerchief" he
said and stepped over to mirror between
the windows.
His face seemed to be familiar to him,
SO familiar that he gave gasp almost Of
despair as he turned toward her.
"I-I-I beg your pardonp' he STAN
1nered. "That's my mustache.'
"Oh!" she exclaimed and it was so ter
ribly embarrassing that she has by nj
means yet recovered, Notwithstanding
| Harry has had the smut removed with q
razor Washington Star.
