and two other socialists who were ar
rested for talking on the streets, a bout
two minutes to decide that the right
of free speech still stands in this coun-
try. They say that Wilkins, who plead
ed his own case, made a powerful ad-
dress.
The plainest principles OF the Re-
public are sought to be over-ridden by
the cringing tools of monopoly.

nOunced that BOurke Cochran, Charles
A. Dana, Emanuel Sanguilly, Enrique
Varma and DR.. Enrique Barnett
would be the speakers. All the mem
bers of the Cuban junta had seats on
the platform.
DR.. De Zayas. Emanuel Sanguilly,
and Enrique j. VarOna, made speech
es in Spanish. Bourk Cockran's
speech was one of the most eloquent
ever made by him. He urged inter
vention by this government in the in
terest of civilization, and said that
the annexation of Cuba would put
this country on footing with barbar-
Gus Spain. When. however, the Cuban
should breathe the air of freedom, and
desire to become part Of this re-
public, then they could be treated as
equals, and not the subjects of con-
quest. Further, he said, the Cubans
should be allowed to purchase their
freedom from Spain, and that in the
interest Of peace the United Sta tes
should guarantee the payment OF
their bonds. It is time he said, that
the executive should make known his
views upon the Cuban question, and il
ever the word was spoken, freedom
would be secured without the firing Of
a single shot. But IL armed interfer-
ence should become necessary for hui
manity, he favored a final resort to
arms. He added
''If the Cubln patriot is to be ex-
terminated in heavens name let him
know that the aid he is expecting will
not be forthcoming; that the butch
cry is to be continued instead of keep
ing him in sus pense by our silence"
At this point Cuban who had been
overcome, by passion shouted Course
Cleveland"
The speaker having caught the ex-
clamation, lost no time in replying,
my friend. no American will bring a
curse upon this country by failure
to do his duty"
Resuming his speech, Mr.. Cochran
declared: II believe that il the presi-
dent insisted that Cuba must be free,
it would be free. If fleet OF vessels
in charge of one Of our admira!s
steamed into the harbor Of Havana
and invited the entire Spanish outfit.
the entire party of executioners, to
take trip to Cadiz or Barcelona, they
would willingly accept the invita-
tiOn."
We hope Congress will do something
to help the poor struggling Cuban
heroes.

sacrifice can hardly be appreciated by
one who is unfamiliar with prison dis
cipline. Nearly all the prisoners are
addicted to the liquor, drug or tobacco
habit. AS soon as they are received
at the penitentiary everything in the
line of excuses Is cut off except tobac-
CO. They receive one piece of plug to-
baccO a week and regard it as a lux
ury worth its weight in gold. To give
up the sole remaining luxury left
them and to endure total abstinence
from tobacco for week, for such a
cause, was personal sacrifice such as
few respectable communities, l fancy,
would make"
Crime is largely inability to resist
the pressure of adverse circum-
stances. The stick breaks at its weak
est point. The poet says:
Woman is not. in her best moments.
But want will perjure the ne er-touched
veStal.''
And this is true of man also. Hence
bad laws will fill prisons. The de-
monetization of silver has made few
thousand millionaires and millions of
criminals. The wrong-doer must be
restrained for the safety of the COM
munity but philosophy looks upon
him rather as subject for pity than
for wrath.

In 1865 when we had over $50 per
capita Of money in circulation, there
were 565 failures in the whole cOun-
try. And this was right after the
war, when an immense number of
men were looking for work, after be-
ing discharged from the army. Now we
have that many failure in two weeks.
Then we had an exclusively paper
money circulation, now we are threat
ened with an exclusively gold basis
Schilling's Advance.
Now we have 1884 per capita in cir
culation; in 1865 we had $67.25 Then
there were few mortgages on the land,
and no tramps; and the people were
happy. Now the money-lenders are
happy, and the people are seeking
more hospitable and congenial climes,
by the razor and rope and rats bane
routes.
And the people have just voted to
continue these conditions!
Great God! Did you make these
idiots? Or did you let out the Job to
the devil and his impS?
Many people ask us what will be-
come Of the Peoples Party in the
hereafter? Well we'll tell you they'll
just stay in the ring until their politi-

"Onr worthy contemporary across the
street. ibe Herald, seems 20 be ~ .
world of tro1ble jus, nos. Either Pete
or some other nisguiJes wretch wrote
an article that appeared in the Herald
week before last, occupying 'wo columns
og that valuable sheet. This article Pete
claims il complete refutation of al Cf
Bryans sreech 81 Madson Square Car
den in New York. After the psPer
came on,, Pete appeared on the street to
see what effcc; this exhaustive srgumcni
had un the public miud lie failed 70
hear auy comment whatever on the arii-
clc. either by friend or Zoe. Then he
proceeded TO get wild-eyed and inquired
why the Il some one did not answer
that famous article 10 bis psper on

D. fool and profered to prove his

fully answered his famous article sn

The above, which appeared in the
South aud West last week, is a gem;
and i, contains sbou, ss much truth as
Doc. uses in ordinary conversation. The
article TO which he refers was published
several days prior to Bryan's Madison
Sqsare effort, hence could have no ref,
erenee to that speech. As for Pete
going onto the street, looking VIdNeyed
aud seeking comment On "X's" article,
that was unnecessary. The edition Of
the HERALD containing the article 10
question was no. half printed when a
prominent Democrat came in, picked up
one Of the newly printed sheets aud pro.
ceeded to read the srticle. lie read it
through and Immediately came to the
conclusion that "X'' was d fooi.
He carried the paper out On tie street
and all the prominent Democrats. u
Guiding our auburn-haired contemporary,
came to the same conclusion in regard to
"X," simply because his ideas did not
accord with theirs; and what cut them
deepest was that Mr.. Bryan in Lis Mad
ison Square speech confirmed the very
statements made by "X" and disputed
by them. Some Of them told the HER

the one star that darkness cannot

that women are better than men; their
hearts are more unreservedly given; 10
the web Of their lives sorrow is inexIri,
