Cuba Truly DesOlate.

resident of this city, who escaped from

people, and nobody is sure in the even

is impossible to do any business or earn
dollar, and the people of this once rich
country are literally dying of starvation
American citizens arrested are shot down
without the semblaDce of a trial, the
murder always being done outside of the
cities. The Spaniards start out with the
prisoners, claiming that they are to re-
move them to other cities, but they
shoot them down and then claim the
prisoners attempted to escape. Cubans
are winning nearly every battle and will
certainly win their contest for freedom. y

Maralotta shot and killed William Mat

Gas Company, this morning Up to a
few days ago Maralot had been en-
ployed in the gang directed by Matuas,

was discha, ged. Then he made threats
against Matuas' life. Maralotta knew
that the foreman had to pass his house
every morning on his way to work, and
he lay in wait for him this morning,
armed with doubled barrelled breech
loading shot gun.
Matuas came a'oag the street whis
Ting, and as he arrived In front OF the
house Maralotta pushed the gun through
the window, and, taking hasty aim,
pulled both triggers. The charge enter
ed Matuas' left side and he fell TO the
ground dead The police sent out a
genaral alarm and found the murderer
hiding in a tenement about a half q
mile from the scene of the shooting.
He went quietly to the station. where
he frankly admitted that he had shot
Matuas, and that he did so because the
latter had not treated him fairly while
at work.

"WHY should Bryan not be elected?"
asks the New York Journal. There is
on his side every element that justly
gives popularity to candidate. He is
opposed by all the powers that are per
msnently hostile to the interests of the
masses of the American people. The
big manufacturing trusts are against
him. So are the money syndicstes,
peace and make millions out of the
operation. So are all the predatory
millionaires who find profit in keeping
their grip on the government. So is
every interest which objects to the Dem
ocrstic doctrine that in this republic
there should be equal rights for all and
privileges for none. Bryan is in the
vigor of life, able, eloquent, sincere, and
as courageous a man as ever invited the
enmity of the few who consider the
many their rightful prey. He is the
champion of the masses.
Why should the masses prefer Major
Mckinley to Mr. Bryan?
Backing Mckinley are Carnegie,
Rockefeller, Pierpont Morgan, c. P.
Huntington and all the men of that
class, who are to US what the mobiles
were to Europe in feudal days. Nc
Kinley is the candidate of the money
power-a power against the aggression g
of which it is to the patriotic and per
soual interest of the ordinary American
citizen to battle ceaselessly. Who is
there that doesn't know this? Look at
Hanna. What does that Boss import?
Are the people of the United States pre-
pared to give victory to q cause which
finds its most adequate representative in
Hanna.
Judge the two candidates by the forces
and the men who are exerting them
selves in their behalf. So judged, to
which candidate should the thoughtful
American give his ballot"

''If the single gold standard can be
forced upon South America and Asia as
it has been since 1878 forced on North
America and Europe, gold must inevi-
tably appreciate to at least four times its
value; or to put it otherwise, commodi
ties to one-fourth of the present price
and labor, all the world over, be cruel
fed as it was never crucifed before-in
days of medieval serfdom or even chat
tel slavery. Such is the contest If the
money lords can force gold monomet-
alism upon the whole world, they will
succeed in establishing the most gigan-
tic moneyed aristocracy among the rich,

WASHINGTON, Oct. 13.-There is every
indication that the administration
hopes to be able by the time congress
meets again TO report a sensible advance
In the negotiations concerning the Ven
ezuelan boundary question. though it
scarcely can be said that there is an ex-
pectation of final settlement of the
dispute by that date. 1t was under
stood when the British ambassador
went home ON leave of absence it was
the purpose of the British premier TO
make use of the opportunity to confer
with Sir Julian, and it was presumed
that when Lord Salisbury became ac-
Quainted with the reassentiment of the
people of the United States and the fact
that in this matter the administration
can count on unanimous support, and
that there was little hope of a change
in the attitude of the government what
ever the outcome of the pending cleo
tions, he might be disposed to go further
towards meeting Secretary Olney thar
at first seemed likely.
Since Sir Julian has been in London
word has come of several conferences
between himself and Lord Salisbury,
and it is finally expected that when he
returns TO Washington he VIII be
charged with authority to offer COM
promise proposals. which may, iii the
end. prove to be the basis for final
settlement of the troublesome bound
airy dispute. 1t is expected, too. that
the Venezue Ian boundary commission
will have agreed upon its report before
congress meets, and the conclusion
reached may very properly be used with
great weight by Secretary Olney TO sus-
tain his position.
AS to the other question, relating 10
the negotiation of a general arbitration
treaty it is believed that not so much
progress will be made as in tbe settle
ment of the boundary question, for the
differences disclosed to exist between
the two governments appear to be OF
larger magnitude than the issues in
volved in the boundary question. which
after all are largely matters of fact.

The law of 1890 says the treasurer

The law of 1890 says the treasurer
shall redeem the treasury notes of that
issue Sin the gold or silver coin at his
discretion, it being the established poll
cy of the United States to main
tain the two metals on parity. That
means that the parity can be maintained
only by the payment of gold or silver
as the treasurer may see fit and not what
the creditor may require. The parity
between the two metals can be destroyed
in a day by demand for one coin and re-
lection of another by creditors. The
treasury paid out gold for these notes and
therefore turned its back upon the
maintenance of the parity.

MARX HANNA says 75 per cent. of the
business of the country is done with
paper, checks, drafts, etc.; ergo, there
is less need for metallic money than for
merly. 1t is because the gold sharks
have taken the metallic money away
from the people that the latter find so
much difficulty in carrying out their
dealings. Restore silver to its rightful
place in the nations coinage and there
will be less paper used and the whole
people will have more money.

they will not benefit any by its existence.
