The FitrrernIh Colony.

Apparently the Fitzgerald colony has
good many persistent enemies. Reports
derogatory to its health are being circu-
lated and get into the newspapers Gov.
Northen has been quite severely condemn
ed in one or more papers for locating the
colony where it is. We don't understand
what the animus of these attacks is. Are
the agents of rival land companies the
authors of them? Is there a settled pur-
pose to draw colonists away from Fitz-
gerald to other localities where there are
lands for sale?
Our reports from Fitzgerald don't show
that there is any unusual amount of sick
ness there. The majority of the citizens
appear to be pretty well satisfied and look
forward hopefully TO the building up of
the place. The land may not be the rich
est in the world, but 1t is fairly productive.
In the next year or two the place will
show great changes for the better The
colony is not yet fairly started. 1t has
much to do before it can consider itself
fairly established. It may not receive
many additions to its population this sum
mer, but 1t is expected that many immi-
grants will arrive next fall.
There is no doubt that Fitzgerald IS go
ing to be a success. The predictions to
the contrary are not worth needing. The
colony is meeting with just such obsta-
cles as most colonies have to contend with
and it will overcome them. Instead OF
throwing difficulties in its way every eff
fort should be made to help it. Fitzgerald
is not going to move backward. 1t is GER
tain to go forward and become place OF
considerable Importance.

1. There stiII a Chanees

Some OF the northern papers, particu-
larry the New York World and the New
York Times, express the opinion that
there is still a chance TO prevent a deela-
ration for SILVER at the Chicago conven-
ton. The New York Times says: Free
silver can be beaten at Chicago. It's
forces are not powerful enough 10 control
the convention against the well-drected
and resolute opposition OF the gold stand
ard democrats" The World draws a les
son from the firm stand for gold at St
Louis. and concludes that If the sound
money delegates at Chicago stand up
squarely for sound money they can Sc
cure a sound money declaration.
It seems to US that the Times and
World have very little information upon
which to base the opinions they express
We sincerely wish they had a much great
er foundation. We do not look for rad
zeal declaration for silver at Chicago. The
aim will be to so word the monetary
plank as to hold the party together. but
Of the real meaning Of that plank there
will not be ground for a reasonable doubt.
The meaning will be for silver, and in
proportion as the St. Louis platform is
strong for gold the Chicago platform will
be strong for silver.
Many Of the moderate silverites-men
who want larger use Of silver. but who
don't want silver monometallism-believ
that the democratic party would poll a
larger vote with a radical silver platform
than with a platform containing a con-
servative silver declaration. Hence their
influence will be thrown with the extreme
silverites. That being the case we doubt
that the sound money democrats could
succeed in getting a sound money decla-
ration in the platform, however great
their efforts in that direction might be.
Still. no effort should be spared by the
sound money element of the convention
to secure the adoption of a sound money
platform. Surprising results are some
times accomplished in a political conven-
ton by hard and intelligent work.

NUfItHcN OUHtIHCIEUHIsIs'
From the Philadelphia Record (Dem.).

The advocates of cheap and bad currency
say that there is not gold enough in the
country for the wants of trade and that
their object is to supply an abundance of
money. But It is obvious that the first and
certain effect of free silver coinage would
be to drive at once $500. 100000 of gold from
circulation and to reduce by one-half the
purchasing power of all the paper curren-
cy now redeemable in gold. 1t would keep
the minis of the United States running
day and night for twenty years to fill this
enormous vacuum in the currency. In the
would be destroyed, industry and com
merce would stagnate and misery and
want would stalk through the land. The
Crime of 1879 would be pettiest of mis-
demeanors, if all that Is said of it be true,
compared with the colossal iniquity of free
silver coinage

Situation in Cuba.

Spain is making no progress in putting
down the insurrection IN Cuba The an
nOurcement in our dispatches yesterday
that many OF the Spanish generals have
been called from the interior TO Havana
indicates that Gen. Weyler realizes that
unless Spain intends 10 abandon the
island there must be a more vigorous
prosecution OF the war. The insurgents
are not doing anything especially ex-
cept to destroy property, and in doing
that they are dealing Spain effective
blows. because they are lessening her
ability 20 meet the expenses Of the war.
1t is alleged that the Spanish troops
have not been paid since last February,
and. therefore. they are not in very
amiable frame Of mind. The fever thin
ming their ranks and the failure to pay
them their wages are making them re-
bellious. AS long as these conditions exist
they viii not be very effective for ag-
gressive warfare.
The destruction Of property in Cuba
since the war began has been enormous.
A Havana letter to the New York World
contains the statement that before the
Instruction began Cuba's exports Of su-
gar amounted to $4,000. 900 a year. her ex-
ports of tobacco So. 10000 and her ex-
ports Of fruits and minerals TO SS.0O0.0O0.
making a total Of SlOO.00000O annually.
1t is stated that her exports OF sugar
this year will not amount TO more than
one-hfth lof the normal amount, and
there has been an immense falling of
in the exports of tobacco. If the war
continues another year there will be no
sugar and no tobacco exported. In fact.
Cuba's export business will be practical
ly at an end, and SPANS revenue from
the island will practically cease. How
long will Spain be able to prosecute the
war under such conditions? 1t is esti-
mated that the expenses for the war and
amount to fully 100000 a month.
Spain's treasury is empty and her credit
bad. How long will it be before she will
be unable to find the money with which
to carry on the war? The insurgent
leaders believe it will not be so very long
and hence every day they are becoming
more hopeful of securing the independ-
ence of Cuba.
There has been, of course. a fearful
depreciation in all kinds of property. In
the interior business has practically
ceased. The merchants have no money
with which to purchase stocks. and they
cannot get credit, except from speculat-
ors, who charge enormous prices. In
Havana business holds up pretty well on
account of the war disbursements by
Spain, but there is a feeling Of great un>
easiness, and general panic is looked
for in the near future. The opinion is
expressed by the Worlds correspondent
that Spain, if she could abandon Cuba
without loss of honor, would not hesitate
to do so, since there is nothing more in
Cuba for her. 1t is not at all likely, how
ever, that she will give up the island
as long as she can raise sufficient money
to keep an army there.

If the Havana special published in our
dispatches yesterday is based upon cor
rect information, some of the Spanish
officers in Cuba are growing rich by de-
spelling their own government. 1t ap-
pears that they are adopting the methods
by which the Chinese mandarins get rich.
They are said to be collecting money from
the government to pay for supplies that
We're never delivered; pocketing the sal
aries Of dead soldiers; impressing horses
from the Cubans, collecting pay for them
from the government and never paying
the owners of the horses. In short ac-
cording to the report, the dishonest Off
GERS are defrauding Spain and depressing
Cuba for their own private gain. Since
they are growing fat from such spoils OF
war. they win probably try to make the
fight last as long as possible. Fevers arc
sweeping down the Spanish soldiers ny
the scores and hundreds, but the specula-
tors care nothing for that.

"some sImnIe Trnthn.v
From the Chicago Times-Herald Gnd

There IS no first-class nation in the world
to-day that is not gold standard nation.
There is no civilized country that. once
having attained the gold standard, fell
back to the silver standard.
There is no country on the silver basis
that is able to keep gold in circulation.
There has never been a time or a coun-
try in which two kinds of money of diff
ferent value have been kept together in
currency. The cheaper invariably drives
out the more valuable.
The silver standard is peculiar exclu-
sively to countries in Asia and in the low
er half of this continent, in which labor is
practically in slavery and receives as wage
only the pittance necessary to mere exis-
tence.
. The countries in which gold is the stand
ard have led the way of all nations in lu-
manity, sciences, arts and life
The United States have been on the gold
standard since 1894 During that time the
pace Of the nation in moral and material
progress has been unparalleled in any age
in any other portion of the globe. Shall We
abandon this standard for that of China 2

Down in enlightened Mexico. which we
are told, is prosperous and progressive, and
has the best money system in the world
they are doing some very queer things
At Jaquila, the other day, there was ar
uprising against the Masons. and several
prominent men were killed, mutilated and
burned at the stake, merely because they
were Masons. This would seem to indi,
cate lack of civilization; nevertheless
the claim is made that the Mexicans are
so far advanced that they have solved
the money question, one of the most alb.
struse problems Of civilization.

A treaty has been concluded between
the United States and Mexico which is de-
signed to suppress Indian depredauons on
both sides of the boundary. The rene
gade Indian, Apache KID, has for months
been committing murders and robberies
on this side Of the line. and slipping into
Mexico to avoid al est. Under the terms
Of the new treaty. United States troops
can pursue and capture renegade Indians
that escape into Mexican territory, and
the Mexican troops can do the same thing
when Indians cross the border into the
United States. The treaty has been rati-
fed and goes into operation at once. The
soldiers viii probably take the trail of
Apache Kid at once and hunt him down.
Il is charged that he has committed as
many as twenty murders He is an edu-
Gated Indian, and at one time was in the
service Of the government as a scout.

The cane sugar planters of Louisiana and
the beet sugar planters of the west are
probably not displeased at the
outlook. Seasonable rains have prac-
tcally assured their crops. Mean
time, there appears no rift in the
war cloud in Cuba. From the indications
the war in the island must continue
for long time yet, which viii preclude
making a crop of sugar there. There is.
therefore, every reason to look
for hardening of the sugar
market. With advanced prices, and
their bounty money sailed away. the
sugar planters ought to enjoy life.

Ii Hung Chang is a diplomatic old
heather. and evidently takes the newspa-
pers when ne called upon the German
emperor the other day he talked about the
German army nearly all of the time; told
the emperor what > fine army it was, and
how it could probably whip all of the enc
mics of the German empire between
breakfast and dinner time, or words to
shat effect. William was immensely
tickled. of course-the army is his hobby
and told Ii to thank the son of heaven for
him, when he went back home, for hav-
ing sent so great and wise an envoy to
Berlin. When Ii had finished praising
the army, he might have owned the pal
ace if he had thought to ask for it.

Your Pennsylvania Dutch girl is strictly
business, during every hour of the day,
and has no time to waste on anything
that is Improbable. Not long ago a young
man went to see Katie Linek. at Wilkes
barre, and asked her to marry him. She
said she would and went ahead at making
the necessary preparations. The day be-
fore the wedding was to occur the young
man backed out. Katie did not care so
much about the loss of a prospective hus-
band, but she did not propose to lose
the time she had spent in getting ready.
She therefore sued the recreant lover for
pay for ten days, at 60 cents a day, and
the magistrate before whom the suit was
tried awarded her the full amount. Ka-
tie is now going about her daily work,
and incidentally is awaiting another
lover

The Indications are that the coming con-
test between the democratic and republic
can parties viii be fought by new gener-
ais and aides on each side. Clarkson,
Huston, Hahn, and probably others, will
disappear from the republican national
committee, and the probabilities are that
as many equally well known leaders of
the democrats will be retired when the
democratic national committee is reor-
ganized. New men are to measure their
strength on a new issue; and the battle

The Four Hundred circle of New York
society has been somewhat agitated dur
ing the last few days because Of the re-
ported engagement of Cornelius Wander
bllt. Jr., and Miss Grace Wilson, followed
by a second report to the effect that the
father of the young man seriously object
ed to the match The Four Hundred won
dered why Mr.. Vanderbilt could object
because the lady is rich, accomplished
beautiful, and moves in the Vanderbilt
circle. A persistent discussion of the af-
fair, however, has brought the bellies and
the danes of society to light. They have
recalled that as far back as the season"
of 1884 the prospective bride went about
among her friends boasting that she was
a full grown woman, q years old. That
was twelve years ago. so that she must
now be twenty-one plus twelve, or thirty
three. Young Mr.. Vanderbilt is only a
little past his twenty-second birthday;
hence society understands that Mr.. Van
derbilt, sr., does not want his son to
marry woman eleven years older than
he is. 1t is interesting to outsiders to
know that unmarried women in the Four
Hundred ever get to be as much as thirty
three years old
