seekers will ..'defne'' himself upon
squarely and specifically. No man
knows better than Foraker that sus-
p1cion that Mckinley. held the Foraker
view on silver would handicap him in
the convention, while at the same time
he is aware that Mckinley dare not for
mally disclaim such sentiment. The
Foraker outbreak must prove seriously
embarrassing to Mckinley, and those
who know Foraker best believe he knew
this and intended this.

rs FORAKER ATTACKING NC
KINLEY?

Joseph B. Foraker, says the Globe
Democrat, Immediately after his cleo
tion to the senate few days ago to sue
ceed Calvin S. Brice, made a speech to
the legislature, in which he used these
words among others: "I believe also
in bimetallism. believe the world
made mistake when it demonetized sill
yer. sincerely hope some safe
way may be found for the restoration of
silver to its rightful place alongside of
gold as money of ultimate redemption.
shall favor every measure calculated,
in my judgment, TO bring about that re-
suit, subject alwys, however, to the con-
dition that it provides for the mainte-
nance of the parity of the two metals" :"
This extract is from the speech as given
in the Cincinnati 'Times-Star," a paper
very friendly to Foraker. Some of
the other reports made Foraker use
harsher language in condemnation OF
demonstration and appeared to
make more direct and specific refer
ence to the 'crime of 1873"
The last clause of this extract may
seem to take the free silver sting out of
it. It is straddle and scufhe, yet it
is not quite so skillful as the work in
this line which is done by some of the
state and national conventions. 1t is
not the sort of an utterance that John
Sherman would make in this exigency.
The man making it could certainly never
be a member in good standing of the
hronoh mi =
Branch of the Ohio Republican party.
It is evident that the man who used
these words thinks that 1.-The act of Feb
ruary II, 1873, dropping the standard
silver dollar from the list of coins to be
issued thereafter from the United States
mints was terrible blow to the coun-
try's prosperity, and to the cause of
sound finance. OF course the real "de-
monetization" was brought about by the
legislation of 1s34-7, which made silver,
at the new ratio, worth more as bullion
than as coin, and consequently kept sil-
yer, except in trifling amounts, away
from the mints, while the law of 1873
was merely the legal recognition oi
something which had been a physical
fact for nearly forty years. 1t is clear,
however, that the senator elect thinks
the law of 1873 was the greatest legisla.
tive crime of the century.
But why did Foraker bring up the sill
yer question at all? Silver is not an is.
sue at the present time, and will not
outside of the mining states, figure in
any shape in the presidential or con.
gressional canvass of 1885, There must
be some reason for this outbreak which
does not appear upon the surface. For.
aker is something more than political
'senfant terrible.' It would be mis-.
take to attribute his periodical irrup.
tions to mere moral perversity or physi-
cal exuberance of wantonness. There il
method in all of them. Foraker is moi
a reckless and rattle Drained blunderer
out is one of the shrewdest politicians o.
the time. He is well aware that every
presidential aspirant, and Mckinley il
particular, is taking especial pains tc
dodge the silver question. That is the
one subject that none of the presidency.

JOHN ALLEN STRONG FOR SILVER
Will Not Have a denomination on a
Gold Platform,
Special to The Times-Democrat,

Special to The Times-Democrat
Washington, May 12.-Hon. John
M. Allen, who has been undecided as to
whether or not he would stand for a
denomination to Congress, has to-day
mailed to his district for publication
the following card to his constituents:
ITO the Democrats of the First Con-
gressional District Of Mississippi:
II am in receipt of many letters
from various parts of the district urg-
ing ME to announce my candidacy for
a denomination to Congress, and /
feel it due my friends and party as
sociates that I should make some pub
lie declaration of my position and
purpose relative to the matter.
Il have not done so sooner because
| have been undecided as to what T
should do
For twenty years / have earnestly
advocated the restoration Of silver to
the position it occupied prior to 1874,
and have opposed the gold standard.
During all of this time I have open
~ urged these views on the voters
of the district, and am as much a be-
lever in them now as ever; in fact the
operation Of the gold standard and the
evil effects that have followed its adop-
ton confirm me in the belief so long
entertained.
''The uncertainty as to what posi-
ton would be taken by the Democrat
ic party in its National convention on
the financial question has embarrass-
ed me i'm determining my own atti-
tude with reference to a re-nomina-
ton. have always said, and still say,
that j would not accept nominal
ton if it were unanimously rendered to
me on platform or with National
ticket favoring the gold standard. 1t
now seems almost assured that the
friends Of silver will control our Ma
tional convention, and that the plat
form on the financial question will be
in accord with the views of the Mis-
sissippi Democracy, and it so there
are reasons which would impel me to
seek a denomination at your hands.
I think that our district convention
should not be held until after the Ma
tional convention. / think this best,
independent of the interest of any
individual. I will be candidate for
denomination If / can run on plat
form and with a National ticket in ac-
cord with the declarations of the Mis-
sissippi Democracy. But if the plat
form and National ticket should be
such as to require me to stnltify my
past record and violate my present
welI-settIed convictions. could not ac-
cept the nomination. / could not un-
dertake to bear the standard of my
party when / felt it was wrong on 50
vital an issue. / trust this statement,
which is the only one / can make un-
der present conditions, will be satis-
factory to my friends. whose conf
dence and approval prize more than
I do any Office Respectfully,
JOHN n. ALLEN"

AL COQUETTE.

I am never in doubt of her goodness,
/ am always afraid of her mood,
i am never quite sure of her temper,
For wiIlfulness runs in her blood.
She is sweet with the sweetness of
springtime,
A tear and q smile in an hour
Yet / ask not release from her slight
est caprice
Ny love with the face of flower.
My love with the grace Of a lily,
That sways on its slender, fair
stem,
My love with the bloom of the rose
bud,
White pearls in my life's diadem!
You may call her coquette if it please
you,
Enchanting, if shy or if bold,
my darling, my winsome wee lassie,
Whose birthdays are three when all
told.

BARBARoUs CRUELTIEs.
Spanish Soldiers Charged with Shoot
ing 80 Women and Children.

Key West, Fla, Feb. 3.--Some time
ago. when the insurgents entered Sa-
banilla, the Spanish official report stat
garrison and that unfortunately three
women were killed by stray bullets"
The truth of what happened there
has just been learned, and 1t shows the
Spaniards are acting as barbarously in
Cuba as the Kurds in Armenia Sa-
banilla, which is an important town in
Matanzas province. was entered by 400
regulars retreated to the barracks and
made no resistance. The Spanish vol
unteers, however, retreated to the
church and fired upon the insurgents.
The insurgents returned the fire, killing
five volunteers. The volunteers then
ceased firing.
The inhabitants received the insur-
gents joyfully and many poor people
who had eaten nothing but cane were
fed by Garcia. who had the merchants
open their stores and told the people
to take food. Thirty stores were looted
of provisions, and one storekeeper was
shot for resisting. The insurgents then
retired. AS soon as they were gone
the Spanish volunteers came out Of the
church and opened fire on the people
in the streets. Forty-six were killed,
of whom thirty were women and chill
dren. Their only offense was cheering
the insurgents and taking food to save
themselve from starvation. After
shooting these people the volunteers
took ten Cubans, who had surrendered
on promise of amnesty. and shot them
in cold blood. Two thousand men, wo-
men and children have reached Matan-
zas from Sabanilla They fed fearing
further massacres by the Spanish vol
unteers.
These are facts vouched for by Mayor
Juan Galvez of Sabanilla. who is in
Havana to ask Gen. Marin to punish
the volunteers.
