wEYLER,S ATROCITIES.

The correspondents and artists OF
American papers who have peen sent
to Cuba are now getting in their work
despite the limitations upon liberty oi
person decreed by Weyler. II one-slN-
teenth part is true Of all the crueities
these artists and correspondents Illus
trate and describe then Weyler Is
fend incarnate, and his crueltles are
SO general and go so uniformly unre-
buked by his government, that it is the
duty of the United States Government,
as a mere act Of humanity, TO enter It's
emphatic protest, and to demand thaI
it be needed.
Remember this is allowing that nj
teen-sixteenths of all the stories are
false. The accounts we have before us
OF torture, execution, barbarity, indie
oency and insult to women, massacre
and awful atrocities before and after
death Of victims are simply paralyz1ng
to the sensitive mind. Take the indie
cent and terrible ordeal to which
Sonora Martinez was subjected by
Colonel Olivera's guerrillas, where sne
was stripped naked and then slashed
with swords until every inch OF her
body bled, because she could not tell
where her husband was hiding; the
case of Belisario Nodarse, who was
hunted to be killed because he laid the
case of Sonora Martinez before the
commander-in-chi the case of the
butchery Of the mother and her six
months old babe because the poor
young woman would not reveal where
her father and brother lay concealed.
The babe was not killed outright, as
was the mother, and a soldier was de-
tailed to knock out it's brains with the
butt of his musket, which he did, and
Colonel Molina marched on in triumph.
Take the hacking to death Of Senior
Fuentes and his son-in-law, slowly
and devihshly, because they had COM
plainedthat in foraging the soldiers cut
the whole sugarcane stalk instead of
the top, which alone the horses can eat.
The heads of the victims were cut off
and hung by the hair to the door-knob
Of the town grocery; the case of poor
old Garcia, who could not tell where
his brother, an insurgent, was. had his
eyes put out with the point of a bayo-
net, welded by a soldier, while the
victim was bound helpless in his chair,
and the soldiers marched away with
the mans eyes on the point of the bay
onet. Weyler knew of these cases, and
not only took no steps to punish the
offenders, but keeps them in the field
and approves their methods. These
are but few Of long. well-authenti-
Gated list before US, for all of which
cruelties General Weyler is directly re-
sponsible, and this is warfare" after
the modern Spanish idea.

The citizens managing the arrange
ments for the proper celebration Of the
Fourth of July are commercially en-
thusiaStic, and are arranging for a
creditable cornmemoration of the Ma
TONS birthday. But when they pro-
pose to ask the Trustees to consent to
the appearance of the Fire Department
In the procession, they are in error. The
Trustees should refuse their consent.
The department, small though 1t is, is
one of the best in the country; it is a
paid department and is constantly on
duty. To take it, or any part Of it, from
duty is to expose the city to risks that
are not to be assumed for the sake Of a
display. 1t means massing the whole
department in one place, which is OPP
posed to all discretion and good judg-
ment. 1t will be an invitation to the
incendiary and puts the homes OF the
people at unusual risk. On several oc-
casions that we can recall the depart
ment has been called from the process
sion to respond to an alarm, and the
result has always been inability to
reach the fire with the usual prompt
ness, and at the same time the process
sion has been spoiled by the breaking
up Of the line. When in such cases the
department is called on. the streets are
filled with people and it can get through
the crowds and to the fire only with the
greatest difficulty and with danger to
human life. We hold that the authori-
ties have no right to imperil the prop
erty of the people on that or any other
occasion, and to mass the department
or any considerable part of 1t is to i'm
peril property which pays heavy taxes
for protection as much on the Fourth
of July or any other day. When we
had the old Volunteer Fire Department
the conditions were very different. mas
much a. the organization was indie
pendent and could do as 1t pleased in
such matters; besides, the force of men
was very greatly larger then and the
runs greatly shorter Now the city
covers so much ground that the depart
ment. efficient as 1t is, is not large
enough for the needs of the people
Even with the department stations well
distributed, some of the runs are nearly
two miles in extent for the nearest COM
pany. 1t Is to be hoped that the Trus-
tees will adhere to their stand taken
heretofore, and decline to have the Fire
Department put into the line on the
Fourth. It Is their duty to DO so, and
even patriotic considerations do not
rise superior to the necessity for usual
precautions against fire on that day
Indeed, at such a time extraordinary
precautions should be taken, because
then more than ait any other time the
risk is greater. the use of fireworks
and the carelessness and mischievous-
ness of youths and even of men expos
ing property to unusual risk.

this country. Fancy the New York
Central asking permission Of the legis-
lature to make the fare from here to
Albany IS. Yet that is the only manner
in which we could keep up the pay OF
our employees.
The Populist has an idea that the
railroad has some mysterious manner
Of making money. However, We have
no source OF income. Of course. except
the money we receive from freight and
passenger traffic.
For the year ending June, 1896, the
New York Central earned A2,5OO, 900.
Out of that we paid sl6vvJ,OOO to EN-
ployes. The operating expenses, taxes
and wages amounted to $4,000 OOo. The
interest on our bonds payable in gold,
amounted to A,170,000. The rental OF
leased lines, payable in gold, amounted
to S5,SSS.O 600. SO you see, a free silver
bill would cost us SlO,OOOO0O a year,
part of which would have to come out
of the employees.
But railroads are not the only corpo-
rations which are similarly situated,
The telegraph companies are in exactly
the same boat. They employ nearly
as many men as the railroads, and
their employees wages would be cut the
same way. AS matter Of fact, eight
tenths of the corporations have bonds
which are payable in gold, and free
silver would have the same effect on
all Of them"

CHAUNCEY NJ. DEPEW
Tells of the Effect of Free Silver on
the Railroads.
Wages Mould Necessarily Be Reduced to
Meet the Increased Expenses and
Decreased Earnings,

The following telegram from New
York to the Railway Age gives Mr..
Depew's opinion on the money ques-
tion:
New York, July 81, 1S96.-Chauncey
NJ Depew. president of the New York
Central Railroad. is very much inter-
ested in the suggestions as to the eff
feet the passage Of a free silver meas
ure would have upon the railroad en-
ployes of the country.
1t would affect them worse than
any other laborers," said he. The rea-
son is plain aud can easily be under
stood. The railroads of this country
owe altogether $4,000, 100000 worth Of
bonds which are almost all payable in
gold If we receive pay for our work
in carrying freight and passengers in
silver, We will have to buy gold to pay
our interest, as gold, Of course, will be
driven out of the country.
THAT would compel us to economize
in every possible direction, unless the
public permits us to charge silver rates
or double prices. Under such condi-
tions we would have to pay the men in
silver. As the price of gold advanced,
as 1t would steadily and surely, en-
ployes' wages would be reduced frcm
one-third to one-half.
when it comes to what men may
buy, the silverites tell the farmers
that under free silver they will obtain
twice as much for their food products.
Grant that to be true, and see in what
condition the railroad laborer will find
himself from the operation of both
forces, He will receive from SS to so
per cent less money each month, and
will have to pay twice as much for
what he eats.
This is not an idle argument, for
there are more than 100000 men in the
employ of the railroads of this country,
and on the payrolls. Their employ
ment is better than that of the expert
mechanic, because it is steady. The
carpenters and masons and others suf-
fer from labor strikes and hard times.
Then there are seasons when the
wealth prevents work and they are idle
many days in the year. The railroad
man, however has work all the year.
In the Argentine republic, when it
went to a paper basis, which was ir-
redeemable in gold, the railroads were
permitted to double their rates to meet
the changed conditions. The railroads
at once fixed their rates at the lowest
price of the exchangeable value of cur
rency in gold, and, as the prices fluc-
tuated to better rate, made a differ
ence, so the railroads made money
then. That would not be permitted in

A TOUCHING INCIDENT.

A touching incident that shows one
of the brightest principles Of Pythian-
ism in all its beauty is going the rounds
of the press.
Sometime ago a man named Mathis,
a member of the order of knights of
Pythias, died at Charleston, ILL.,, leav-
ing a widow and four children. The
widow was stricken with consumption,
and the members OF the Charleston
lodges sent the family to San Diego,
Cal, in the hope that the mothers
health might be restored. But too
late. She died. and the noble Knights
out there took the matter in charge,
provided for the transportation of the
body and the four little orphans to
Illinois. They were placed on the train
and the X. of P. lodge at the first sta
tion where meals were served was no.
titled. From city to city, as the train
sped onward, messages were sent over
the wires to X. of p lodges that the
little folks were coming, and in not
one instance was the care and SYM
pathy lacking, AS the train would
pull itno a city, body Of the members
of the order would board it, searching
for the little mourners and bringing
them baskets of fruits and sweetmeats;
sometimes money and presents; souve-
Mrs of their kindness and attention.
When meal time arrived, no passenger
on the crowded train Jared better.
Warm dinners at the best hotels,
breakfast and a nights rest in down.
lest beds of the cities. Surely the lit
tie folks will never forget this trip. At
st. Louis a committee Of the order met
the train, carried the children to a
warm meal and returned them loaded
down with fruits and all nice things,
