New Y Ork. May l3.
The market was tame and irregular
today with continued liquidation and
demonstrated its unwillingness to adj
vance The political situation abroad
and at home has a depressing influence.
Word comes that another American is
in peril in Cuba 1t might be said that
it is a very cold day for any climate
when an American isn't in peril in
Cuba. 1t is not known. of if known not
announced. Of what particular ofrense
the imperiled gentleman in question
has been guilty. but it is fair to believe
that like most Americans in Cuba he
was at some devilment, trusting his
country to pull him through. OF course
it is our national duty TO look after
him. whatever his ofrense and the
usual diplomatic correspondence viii
follow. We must teach Spain that
whenever our citizens so down to Cuba
to take part in the little family mis-
understanding they are fully protected
by their citizenship. What is the use
of being an American if a man cannot
do as he pleases2 We do not recall
whether the late Mr.. AIonroe's doctrine
bears on this point but we do know
the great Yankee nation would make
short work of Spain and this is an
augumentum ad hominem that is not
TO be resisted.

AROUND THE CORRIDORS.

H. ]. Lutcher of Galveston, Texas the
largest lumber and mill man OF the South, ar
rived at the Palace Hotel yesterday with his
wife, after q three months recreation trip
through the middle western and northwestern
States. He was the first big lumber dealer to
leave the forests of Michigan and Minnesota
for those of the Southern States, which he
considers the more promising field. He owns
100000 acres of forest land and has two large
mills in operation. One is near Orange and
in the present duh times gives employment to
300 men. The other, new plant on the
Mississippi between New Orleans and Baton
Rouge. includes sash, door and blind factory,
one OF the largest in America, and gives en-
ployment to 500 men. 1t tuRns out 1000 doors,
1000 sashes and 1000 blinds a day, an outfit
equaled by no other factory in this country
except that possibly of Palmer & Fuller of
Chicago. To the completion and perfection Of
this new factory with its diver sifed machin-
cry, Mr.. Luteher gave his entire attention for
three months, with the result that he is now
taking 9 much-needed rest. He viii spend
over month in California and will then take
his wife for visit to the City of Mexico. He
was there years ago, having supplied all the
lumber needed in the construction of the rail-
road from FL Paso, Texas, to the capital of
Mexico. He also furnished G. P. Huntington
with three-fourths of all the railroad ties used
in the construction of the Southern Pacific
road

elected. OF course he would not think of run
ming them at that price, but he could ii he
wished. He is not, however, that kind OF a
man. There is, Notwithstanding his great
wealth, not more njmble, or unprincipled
catcher of nickels in all this land. His nu-
merous devices, often made up OF hatred and
falsehood, to conjure small coinssout OF the
pockets OF his readers into his own, have about
sickened all the better elements of our local
society.
For so young a man, raised with the double
advantage of money and education, his greed
and low morals are phenomenal. THE CALI
has gone to first hand tor It's information as
to his interest in silver mines. Itt published
the sworn inventory filed in court OF the
Hearst estate, from when IL appears that the Ile
of $3.50, 900. Four large ana valuable silver
mines make considerable hguFe IN the list.
One OF them is said to be easily worth pIIVOO,-
600. If the silver-mine owners are tes nave
their product nearly doubled in yalue-and
that is the sole aim OF the Bryan campalgn-It
is very palpable why MI. HearsI became M sucn On
an enterpTising advocate OF silver, as soon as
he thought there was chance OF making sucn
advocacy success. He did not always appear
70 be for silver but that was when ne thoqgnt
II would kill his papers if he permdtted them
10 say what he thought. Hence, IL came thaI{.:
MS writer's were permitted to go as 1ar as they

reading in showing how far that was.
1t was net until after Bryan's nomlnaLon
that he dared to change the coarse OF ms New
York Journal which previously had as good
editorials as he can procure-whieh Is not say
ing much-in favor OF the gold standard up
to then he lived in fear and trembling as
to the possible loss OF the niekels OF the
proletariat if ne abandoned the advocacy OF
honest money. But Bryan's speech, nomina-
tion and temporary popularity gave Hearst
the opportunity he wanted, and he promptly
switched around to what in point OF fSct, is
nothing more nor less than booming his own
silver interests. That may be worldly wis
dom, but 1t is downright d1sgrsceful journals
ism, which no honest man respects. But,
really, does Mr.. Hearst care for the respect of
honest men? Since his exposure in the rail-
a IN n
men who believe he does. His course since
then has been such that the general belief is.
that he will have blood or die in the attempt.
His brief career furnishes a curious object
lesson. He is a conspicuous example of the
danger inherited wealth is to young man ap-
parently without seruples or honor.
