Diaz Tells of spain's Inhumanity.

NEW D DIRK, July lJ.-lhe keY. Dr.
Alberto Juan Diaz, styled the apostle Of
Cuba, founder OF the White Cross and
who, in addition TO his religious proclivi-
tics, is a soldier and physician, addressed
a meetingN=n the Academy Of Music on
the Spanish outrages now being perpetrat-
ed in Cuba and his own experiences In
the bastile at Havana. In the unavoida-
Die absence of 7. Estrada Palma of the
confederatod Cuban councils In this city
Dr. Lincoln Zay, as representing the iunta
here, presided. Rev Thomas Dixon, who
had given the use Of the Peoples church
explained the purpose of the meeting
and the patriotic motives which impeled
him to give the use Of the church that DR..
Diaz might explain TO the world at large
tho Nervousness of the atrocities commit
ted by the Spanish soldiery on the liberty
loving insurgents
81 cannot, said Dr. Dixon, "under-
stand the attitude Of tho present govern
ment of tho United States toward Cuba.
1t has violated the spirit and soul of this
nation, and its action as meted out toward
the struggling Cubans is not tantamount
to right or justice and is contrary to the
wish and desire of all free Americans
Thank Cod q new government looms
above the horizon that will after election
day recognize the cause of suffering Cuba.
DIR. Dixon then introduced DIR. Diaz,
who said that since the inception of tho
White Cross in Cuba. some nino years ago,
and which has now a membership Of ., 700,
he had established the first Protestant
church on the island a hospital and a
cemetery.
Tho Cubans have been working un-
ceasingly," said DR.. Diaz, for the last / 7
years to achieve their independence and
sovor themselves from the yoke Of tho
tyrant Spain.
Among the sturdiest soldiers in the
ranks of the insurgents are the rich and
influential residents OF Havana, including
men OF every profession and in every hon
orable walk Of life"
Unsheathing a long bright sword which
DR.. Diaz had brought with him from Cuba
and waving it above his head, he elected
the applause Of the meeting by saying:
1T is only by tho use of such weapons
as this, and this alone, that Cuba can be
made free, and that l expect to SEQ in the
very near future too
"The only things we need now, con-
tinued DR., Diaz, "are arms and ammuni-
tion, and we will do the rest.
While do not believe in killing any
one, yet mast say, my dear breathren,
that it is with the sword alone we propose
to win for Cuba the title Of "Cuba Libre,
and am just as positive that Spain is
aware she is going to lose foothold on the
island. / want to say for myself that
I did not tako much part in tho
war, for the reason that l had plenty OF
war with those priests and bishops down
there DIR. Diaz then showed the Whito
Cross flag and the flag Of Spain, which
had been wrecked by the insurgents. Tho
latter was loudly hissed, and cries Of shame
were heard as he recounted tho barbaritiea
committed on American citizens by tho
Spanish soldiers

If there is anything which Americans
love above all things else it is freedom
of speech and fair play. These are two
things they kept when they dissolved
their political connections with Great
Britain. Down in Dover. Del, the
right of free speech seems not to be
so sacred as it was held to be in Mass
achusetts a hundred and twenty years
ago. Advocates of the single tax have
been suffering arrest because they have
been speaking in the streets without a
permit. Last Wednesday two single
takers were arrested for speaking on
the streets without this permit They
were fined ten dollars apiece, in default
of which they went to jail for thirty
days. This makes five single-taxers
now under arrest for the same offense
About month ago two speakers were
arrested and committed to jail for t7lir-
~ days, but Governor Watson pardon
ed them out, promising at that time
to pardon other5 out as fast as they
were committed.
1t really seems to be a clear case Of
persecution in the case of these single
tax speakers. They applied to the
mayor and council of Dover for permis-

POET AND SCULPTOR.


The New York Press 'On the Tip of
the Tongue" man has this to say about
Partridge's statue of Shakespeare:
Partridge evidently thought Shake
speare wastful, destructive old boy.
l sit beneath his statue of the bard
every day and wonder why he posed
him with his feet entangled with books
and manuscripts. The bail Of his left
foot rests on a magnificent volume u
by Is inches in size, while his heel is sup
ported by another by u. His right
foot is on a parchment scroll, which
it is rubbing in the floor, as he pre-
tends to be reading a small work of
by 6, though for the moment he is di-
verified from it. Sculptors have more
peculiar ways than the men they put
in clay and marble. Yet Partridge was,
I have been told, an intimate friend of
Shakespeare in the other manifesto
ton
Why Shakespeare is thus set forth
no one can say; it is quite likely that
Partridge himself could not It
may be that he intended to
L
Avon putting his foot down upon
the Sunday newspaper, though had
Shakespeare lived in the days of the
Sunday newspaper he might have been
a valued contributor or merely a pest
with verses to sell, all the while holding
that he was a poet. It may be that the
sculptor wished to emphasize the fact
that so far as literature was concerned
Shakespeare got there with both feet.
1t is a poetic way of expressing the
idea. Or it may be that this was
happy conceit of the sculptor to con-
vey the idea that Shakespeare had
stamped the impress of his mighty
genius upon English literature. OF this
there is no doubt: that the idea eman-
ated from the brain of Partridge and
not of Shakespeare.

JAPANESE COMPETITION.

Every little while an alarm is
Boston man who was recently in San
Francisco tells a Washington Post re-
porter about japanese competition. He
says that while in San Francisco in one
of the principal hotels he happened to
pass large and brilliantly lighted
room where drummer was displaying
a lot of brushes OF all kinds. He be-
came interested in the display and
engaged the drummer in conversation.
He says he showed him a handsome
hair brush, solid back, well made, and
asked him what he supposed he could
sell them for. The gentleman says he
was astonished when the drummer
named $3.50 per dozen as his jobbing
price. He says that the drummer
stated that these brushes couldn't be
produced in this country at $3.50 per
dozen, but my profit at $3.50 is more
than I'd care to admit l am going
all over the country taking orders, and
I'll make all the money I need for
long time on this trip
The Boston man didn't see any way
Ito beat the game" to use his express
sive language, for no tariff could be
made high enough to Offset the diff
ference in wages in the two countries.
Already the duty on these brushes is
80 per cent. ad valorem.
United States Consul Connolly, of
Osaka and Hiogo, in his report for
February last has something to say on
the subject Of Japan becoming a great
manufacturing nation. He says:
With her natural advantages, the
method of education employed in the
schools and the universally of effort in
the direction of increasing trade inter
nally and directly with the people of
other nations. it would seem that the
empire of Japan is destined to become
the great producing nation of the ORR
ent. But before such a conclusion can be
accepted, consideration should be given
to certain drawbacks, among which
may be mentioned the inability to pro-
duce quality and quantity in accord
ance with contract stipulation. This
defect is subjecting her tradespeople
TO very serious criticisms on the part
of those with whom they trade, and,
by many, it is alleged to be due to a
lack of commercial probity. l am not
of that opinion, but rather ascribe it
to lack of training in the art of pro-
ducing stated quantities in stipulated
periods. In short, they can produce,
under present conditions quality but
not quantity. This opinion seems to
be in keeping with the line of thought
of the president of the higher COM
mercial school in his comparison of
the horsepower capacity of the en-
pire with that of England, and his
advice that Japan should therefore
not remain satisfied with the cheap
labor, but endeavor to improve vari-
Gus industrial branches by the prac-
teal application of chemistry, etc."
If Japan does not produce stated
quantities in stipulated periods, it is
doubtless owing to the natural love of
Oriental ease. That she Will some day
become the greatest manufacturing
center of the east is probably true;
that in our own markets we need be
apprehensive on the score of Japanese
competition we do not believe.

A BOUNTY ON ENGLISH sPARRows.

In compliance with the provisions of
chapter xcixs of the laws of the STAKE
Of Utah, the county court of Salt Lake
county has provided by ordinance for
the payment of a bounty on sparrows
and their eggs. 1t is very much to be
regretted that the ordinance is defec-
tive, though this is not the fault of
the county court, but of the county
attorney. who drew it up. 1t provides
that any and all citizens Of Salt Lake
county shall be authorized to kill ANY
sparrows' within the limits of the
county, and provides that the county
clerk of said county 'tbe and he is here
by authorized, empowered and directed.
upon receipt by him of the heads, in
GLIDING the bills, of any sparrows, or
any sparrows' eggs, accompanied by
the affidavit of the party presenting the
same that the sparrows from which
said heads were taken were killed by
him or her within the limits of Salt
Lake county, Utah. etc"
The defect consists in the fact that
it is made lawful to kill ANY sparrows''
and the bounty is to be paid upon ANY
sparrows" and their eggs when the
law under which the county court has
acted provides for bounties upon the
English sparrows and their eggs. There
are lot of native sparrows, to kill
which is, we believe. unlawful, and for
which no bounty is authorized. whether
to kill them is lawful or not. The de-
feet here pointed out should be rene
died forthwith.
Now that the county court has made
provision for a bounty upon the spar
rows all the boys should set to work
to destroy them. It is a task in which
they can combine fun and business.
Let the good work begin and go on
until the English sparrow in Utah is
