Dr. zertucha,s Letter.

The letter of DR.. Maxine Zetucha, who
was attached to the staff of Gen. Maceo,
giving an account of the death of the gem
council is not calculated to satisfy the
friends of Cuba of his sincerity. On the
contrary, in their opinion it confirms the
story that Gen. Maceo was betrayed. The
suggestion which the doctor throws out
that Maceo felt that he was not supported
by the men at the head of the revolution.
and that he became disheartened and vol
UNFAIRLY put himself in a position where
death was almost certain, will not be ac-
cepted as having any foundation.
DR.. Zertucha's statement that he will not
again assist the cause Of Cuba, because
he believes there are traitors among the
Cuban leaders, does not strengthen the be-
lief that he is friend to the cause of
Cuba. No one, of course, wants to do him
an injustice, but if he were the patriot that
he seeks to make the world believe he is,
he would not have so readily left the Gu
ban army.
He is going to leave Cuba, and. he says,
he will do so a poor man; that he has
gained nothing by the revolution. From
whom did he expect to gain anything?
When he entered the service of the insur-
gents he knew they had nothing, and that
there were no rewards for any one unless
the insurgents were successful.
Why is it that he is treated so kindly by
the Standards? Have they any reason to
treat him kindly? Is he entitled 10 any bet
ter treatment than any other insurgent?
If so, why? II not, why is 1t that he is
permitted TO go wherever he pleases? 1t
really looks as If he had an understanding
of some sort with the Spanish authorities,
and that he is free to go wherever he
| pleases because of some services rendered
! the Spanish authorities.
! DIR. Zertucha may be able eventually to
make it clear that he is true friend of
| Cuba, but he has not been able to do so
/ yet and it is doubtful if he will be able
TO do so. His position at present is an
unenviable ono. The Spaniards, for some
reason, have granted him his freedom, but
| they are not particularly anxious, appa-
rently for his society. He would not dare
to appear among the insurgents, because
the most of them regard him with feel
ing akin to aversion

AItgeId,r nefent compIete.

1t seems to be admitted in Illinois that
Gov. Altgeld's defeat in the recent cleo
ton was complete. Most of the men who
obeyed his commands in that campaign
have turned against him. They recognize
his ability, but object to his dictatorIal
manner. A few days ago. when he be-
gan to issue his orders preparatory TO a
reorganization of the democratic state
committee, he was surprised to find that
his orders were not obeyed. He was
forced to recognize the fact that he is no
longer boss of the silver democrats of
Illinois.
The man who has succeeded him in the
position of boss is william H. Henrich-
sen. who. four years ago. was made sec
rotary of state by Altgeld. Henrichsen
was one of Altgelds lieutenants-his chief
Lieutenant, but he was not wholly in har-
mony with Altgeld al the Chicago conven-
ton. During the campaign they had fire.
quent auarrels of minor character and
when Altgeld was defeated for governor,
and even failed to carry Chicago. Heinrich.
sen concluded to become the boss of the
party. He will be reelected chairman
of the state committee, Notwithstanding
Altgeld's efforts to defeat him.
But. it is alleged, Henrichsen, and the
crowd who are working with him. are
as Objectionable as Altgeld. They hold
pretty much the same political ideas
which he does. but they purpose catering
to the socialists of Chicago TO a greater
extent even than Altgeld did. One OF
them it is said, has written book, OUT
lining the issues for 1900. The purpose OF
the book is to array the masses against
the classes. The effort to array the class
es against the masses was made in the
last. campaign, but the Henrichsen crowd
thinks it was made too late, and there
fore was not as efficient as it can be made.
A cheap magazine is to be published in
the interest of this issue.
Nobody of course can predict with any
degree of accuracy what the conditions
will be four years hence, but we do not
believe that the democratic party can
again be led into adopting any such plat
form as that which it adopted at Chicago.
In the next national democratic conven-
ton men of the Altgeld and Henrichseh
stamp will be forced to the rear. In that
case the masses and classes issue will not
be the cause of any apprehension.

1t is one of the easiest things in the

win sign a petition without knowing what
the purpose of it is, for the sake of getting
rid of the person who is carrying it around.
1t has become the custom 10 get up petit
tons on about every subject imaginable,
and send them to congress. The bigger
the petition is, in number of names and
yards of length, the better the promoters
of it are pleased. Sometimes it is neces-
sary to take the paper to the capitol on a
truck. a Washington newspaper says pc
titions are arriving there now in greater
numbers than ever before, and that IL the
government does not provide a special
building for such papers at an early day,
they will crowd other important public
documents out and NIL up all OF the avail
able space in the public buildings. The
majority OF the petitions are upon trivial
subjects, and never amount TO the value
OF the paper they are written on. Still
they must be filed away. in accordance
with the usages Of congress. The petition
