Careful in the Speeches Not to
Conflict With Teachings Of
Moral Law.
IN THE DELAWARE CAMPAIGN.
The Noted Priest Making Good Prog.
ress in Expounding the Theories
of Henry George.

WILMINGTON, DEL, Feb. 3.-Dr Ed
ward McGlynn, the famous priest and ora
tor, arrived here last night to deliver
series of lectures in this city on the single
tax. In sn interview to-day DR.. McGlynn
spoke of the story published few days
ago that he was in trouble with the church
again. The story, which came from New
York and appeared in PHILADELPHIA
newspaper, said that DR.. McGlynn had in
Cured the displeasure of Archbishop Will
liams OF Boston by delivering lecture on
the single tax in that city on Sunday
evening, January 26. after the Archbishop
had requested him not to do So The
story further stated that DR.. McGlynn's
conduct had given the Archbishop such
great offense that he was constrained to
bring the matter to the attention of Arch
bishop Corrigan.
Speaking of his visit to Wilmington and
his right to lecture on the single tax, DR..
McGlynn said:
81 cannot forget that I am Christian
and priest, and, while 1 am not endeay-
oring to commit the Christian church to
the single tax, will always be careful to
teach nothing that will conflict with the
teachings of the moral law and OF re-
ligion."
Referring to the statement that he was
in trouble again, Dr. McGlynn denied it
emphatically, and then said:
IF any one should still doubt my right.
though Catholic ard priest, to teach
the doctrine of single tax upon secular
platforms it should be sufficient in order
to remove such doubt to recall the fact
that very iull, explicit and unreserved
exposition of the single-tax doctrine was
submitted by me to the apostolic delegate,
Monsignor now Cardinal; Satolli. and bv
him submitted to the four theologians of
the Catholic university in Washington,
who gave written attestation that the ex-
position of the doctrine contained nothing
contrary to the teachings OF the Catholic
religion.
81 submitted at the same time to Mgr.
Satolli an accurate Italian translation
made myself Of the paper and without
any retraction of the doctrine. He de-.

sure and to be q priest in good and full
standing i'll the Catholic churth.
Some of the portions of my paper sub
mitted to Satolli which seems to be most
radical and almost socialistic were taken
verbatim, although without quotes, from
the authorized encyclical: of Pope Leo
XIII on the condition of labor. One
might also think it to be minimizing of
the doctrine of single tax taken verbatim,
although without quotation marks, from
the letter of Henry George to Pope Leo
XIII"
DR.. McGlynn further said that when he
delivered lecture ON the single tax he
simply exercised his right as student of
political economy, free, untrammeled
thinker and moralist. In his address
at the Grand Opera-house he spoke of
"The Politics and Economics of the Lord s
Prayer"
Tonight he delivered lecture at the
Auditorium in which he explained the
practical side of the single tax.

SANTIAGO DE CUBA, CUBA, Jan. 26
iva Tampa, Fla, Feb. 3).-A horrible
crime was perpetrated on the estate of the
Juragua Iron Mining Company on the Goth
INST. Three Spanish soldiers armed with
guns left the village of Armesa to ask aims,
and were met by party of rebels who
killed the soldiers with machetes, taking
their guns and ammunition. AS soon as
this was known the chief of the Spanish
forces of that place ordered the imprison-
ment of all the Cubans working the Jura-
qua mines. The order was obeyed, but of
the entire force of Cuban laborers in the
mines the Spaniards could catch only
eighteen or twenty, as the others ran away
and Joined the insurgents.
Some of the unfortunate prisoners, after
having been barbarously beaten, were
hanged, some by the neck and others by
the feet, or tortured until they dieu. A
few escaped, but they were in a terrible
state. The survivors have been brought
to this city and are in jail, twelve in
number.
The steamer Maria Herrerera brought
yesterday from Puerto Pardre twelve politi-
cal prisoners, all prominent residents of
that place. Among them were the presi-
dent of the Autonomist party of the town,
DIR. Jose Maceo and his son. They were
all handcuffed and have been lodged in
Jail.
On the Goth inst, Spanish column
under Captain Sosa met the rebel party of
Colonel Delgado, 800 strong, in Los Llanos,
Sabana and Farrallones, Baracoa. The
troops had six killed and thirty wounded.
The rebels abandoned the camp, leaving
four killrd. Yellow fever has caused 400
deaths in the military hospitals of this city
from July to December 81 of last year. In
this number are not included. the soldiers
who have died in the hospitals of Congo,
San Luis, Cobore, Canye, Palma, Soriano
and Juragoa.
On the 18th inst. the Spanish colonel,
Moncado with his column, entered Bayamo
after being ont of the city for several days.
He had several light encounters with the
rebels, who killed five of his men. He
brought to Bayamo nineteen wounded and
forty sick soldiers.

CINCINNATI, ONO, Feb. 3.-A fierce
leopard belonging to Robinson's circus, in
winter quarters few miles east of the
city, escaped from his cage yesterday to a
hedge near by. The keeper and others
tried to scare it back to the quarters by
firing blank cartridges at 1t.
John G. Robinson. son of Manager John
F. Robinson, fired round when within
twenty-five feet of the animal This so
enraged the brute that it leaped upon
Robinson and almost killed him. Its long
claws lacerated his head and body and it
sank its teeth into his scalp. The animal
was finally beaten off and killed with a
load of buckshot. 1t was valued at $1,000.
Young Robinson's condition is serious.

DESIGNATING JACNsoN's MEMORY.
The Impudcnce of the silver Wing
of the Democracy.


The free silveritcs Of this city are think
ing of having a banquet on the Sth Of jan
uary the day when that old federalist,
General Jackson, whipped the British at
New Orleans. II Bryan can be induced
to come and crate for cheap money he will
be the great gun of the occasion
This is most impudent proposition and
should not be tolerated. Those days which
are observed in commemoration of men who
have done their country some great service
should be protected against seizure for base
purposes by individuals who are trying to do
their country infinite harm.
General Jackson believed in honesty. He
paid his own debts and he wanted other
people to pay theirs. He wished the govern
ment to be honest as well as individuals,
and he desired all the money on which it
put its stamp to be honest money.
In 1894, during his second term, the coin
age laws were changed. But they were not
changed in order to put into circulation
silver dollar worth intrinsically only half
the gold dollar and having only half its
purchasing power. Neither Jackson nor
Benton had any conception of a silver dollar
which had the same debt-paying power as
the gold dollar but would buy only half
much.
General Jackson wanted the coinage ratio
changed so as to conform to the commercial
ratio. Then the gold and silver dollars
would have been of equal intrinsic value.
The democratic platform of 1892 would
nave 5ulteu JdChSOu perfectly. Ills sturdy
honesty would have rejected with much
profanity a proposition that a ratio be
adopted beGed on the assumption that so
cents worth Of silver equaled 100 cents.
So II is outrageous that on the day when
Jackson. the honest dollar soldier, won his
great victory a gang of dishonest dollarltes,
defeated but unrepentant should assemble
to listen to cheap money advocates. By Sc
lecting that day for their gathering they
hope to make ignorant people believe Jack
son was as ursound as they are.

venture will put him on his feet hs,.s. in
any case. b. the excitement OF spccr on
his mind will be diverted from c. '.i yla-
ton OF the deplorable condition OF his
finances, The result. as a rule, is further
loss, embarrassment Generalization, bank
ruptcy aud disgrace-al because vanity
took the place OF reason In the manage
ment OF affairs.
1t Is precisely this kind OF folly the United
states h. now being urged 20 commit. Some
OF our statesmen are advising the purchase
Of Cuba at cost OF some hundreds OF mil
lions with view to its annexation Others
advise the president to interfere with force
to deliver Cuba from Spain. In the futile
expectation that the insurgeut Cuhans when
free will seek annexation rather than carry
out their own program Of forming an inde-
pendent republic. Both schemes would in
vove an enormous expenditure Of money.
Where have we got laid up the vast sums
required for the purchase of cuba or war
with Spain? Spain Is passiOnatcly opposed
to parting with her remaining important
possession in this hemisphere on any terms.
II is all that is left to her OF great en-
pire, and the national pride is involved in
its retention. Spain will undoubtedly fight
for Cuba, and a proposal to annex the island
by force means war The last Spanish loan
Of 400 900 pesetas for use in Cuba was
subscribed by the Spanish people with en-
thusiasm. 1t was a popular loan, and the
sentiment that caused it to be subscribed
for several times over will compel the
Spanish government, regardless Of results,
to meet force by force II the United States
should actively interfere. 1t is not a case
like that of Venezuela where a friendly
government yielded a point, perhaps, under
a threat of war.
Are we in a condition to go to war, except
in self-defense? The silver panic of 1898
still paralyzCs business to a large extent.
Times are hard. There is a yearly deficit,
though the tariff is over Al per cent of the
value of imported goods. Our finances are
in disorder. The greenback still exists, ian
endless chain" to deplete the gold reserve
and excite fear. At present, while the for
imports of gold exceed exports. the reserve
Is secure but under normal conditions 1t
will continue to be a source of anxiety.
The only remedy Is to cancel the green
backs, replacing them with state or national
bank notes, issued under a system of ma
tional inspection and without government
bonds for security, as suggested in the
Baltimore plan" This legislation, with
economy in appropriations, is the first duty
of congress and 1t will suffice to occupy
the entire energies Of congress for several
sessions Brilliant schemes of annexation
and foreign war may be utilized by oppo-
nents of financial reform to divert atten-
tion, but they will serve, If successful, only
to plunge us deeper into the financial
morass. The people want patriotic economy
at Washington, not wartime extravaganza,
with more bond issues and more pensions.

A DESIRABLE REFORM.
Proposcd Fostering by n Railroad of
business Along Its Line.
St. Louis Globe-Domocrat.

St LOUIS blODe-l'tfnONThl
II Is announced that one OF the leading
western railroads has decided to establish
an Industrial department, which Will lend
practical aid to all legitimate enterprises
in the territory along it's line, and adjust
freight rates for the purpose of fostering
industries and promoting the development
of the country. This Is not strictly philan-
thropic proposition, of course. The road eX
poets to profit by it In the way OF increased
local business which must naturally follow
the increased prosperity OF the people thus
assisted 1t Is a new policy, however so
far as the west is concerned and the re-
suits will be awaited with a good deal OF
interest The western lines are generally
operated with principal reference to the
through traffic. Perhaps this Is in somc de-
gree a necessity. when the existing differ
ence of tonnage between the through traffic
and the local traffic Is considered, but it
certainly tends to retard and discourage the
development Of the territory through which
a road passes by subordinating the interest
OF small communities to a scheme that takes
account mostly of the competition for the
large amounts of freight that are trans
ported for long distances.
There Is reason to believe that these roads
might greatly increase their local traffic
and make 1t in time worth more than the
through traffic. The English roads are
operated with a view to building up bust
ness at all points that they touch. and they
find II profitable to cultivate friendly rela-
tions with all sorts Of local enterprises.
There is at least one road in the United
Statcs-the ponnsylvania-whiC has always
pursued this policy and its officials able
to boast that If 1t had nothing but its local
traffic to handle, it would still earn hand
some dividends. The western country is
not yet sufficiently advanced to give imme-
diate promise of such a result; but that
only serves to emphasize the Importance
of using all possible means to stimulate
local trade and production. Every new
industry that is started, or every present
one that is fCstered on the line OF rail-
road means a permanent addition to the
kind OF traffic that is in the long run
most remunerative 1t is all very well to
struggle for the through business that must
be divided among a number of roads, but the
local business, after all, is best worth get
ting. because 1t represents profits that do
not have to be divided. and that are not
contingent upon any OF the various circum-
stances that govern the other kind OF
