lost in sleep, keeps up its chorus of
SHORES. The latest report of the U.
s. sanitary inspector at Havana, says
that the yellow jack is getting in its
work of death in the hospitals, and
since the opening of the rainy season
the victims are principally Spanish sol
diers. Confronted by these discourag-
ing conditions Weyler raves and Spain
grows desperate. The horrors being
inflicted by Weyler are said to leave
in the shade the savagery of Armenia
Weyler's executionerS make no dis
tinction of sex or age, of suspected or
unsupported. There is but one pur-
pose and that is to destroy every ma
tive Cuban. The soil was theirs, the
island their land in the same sense that

and SPANS murderous policy is lnhu-
man and horrible beyond expression.
America is sending aid TO the faT-away
Turks Armenian subject but stands
uneoncerned over the awful scenes per-
petrated at her very door.
But there is another side 10 this puz-
zle of which the world is taking note.
France has been denouncing America
almost as vehemently as Spain for sup
posed sympthy for Cuba. and now
comes the explanation. There is a
wholesale unloading in Paris of Cuban
bonds held by banking institutions In
Spain and by wealthy Spaniards, as
well as similar bonds in smaller sums
held by English, German. Belgian and
Dutch financieTs As result OF this
reported operation by a French syndi-

SITS DOWN ON PLATT.

Ex-senator Warner Miller, who is
also delegate-at-large to the St Louis
convention, calls Thos. G. Plat to time
for his late onslaught on Mckinley.
Miller, though a recognized boss HIM
self, is vicious in his attack on his col
league. With the country, or more
especially with the Republican party
at large, Miller is amazed at Platt's
language. Platt's vituperative and
scandalous attacks on Mckinley when
he saw that the Ohio man had dOwned
the combine of bosses, were disgrace
full. Mr.. Warner Miller voices the
sentiments of the Republican party Of
the nation when he said of Platt's
charges:
They are untruthfuI, infamous and
outraged They are false and IN
fair. They are most unwise. Plat
either will have to retract them before
the convention or he will have written
himself out of the Republican party
into the ranks of the Democrats. Plat
cannot support the hepuDHcdn uoInt-
nee unless he retracts them. They are
absolutely unfounded and unjust.
never heard OF such an attack from
such a source.
These are strong and honest words.
They have the true ring of patriotism.
They meet but do not exaggerate the
occasion that calls for their utterance
They neither anticipate nor transcend
public opinion. Thousands of our
best citizens, irrespective of politics,
feel and think just as Mr.. Miller has
spoken. The tide OF popular resent
ment against the insolence and AFRO
gance OF Platts self-coEstituted boss
rule is steadily rising. The would-be
presidential trust cannot Withstand its
onward movement
As the days drag along it becomes
more evident every day that should
Mckinley refuse TO commit himself to
the gold standard, before the conveG-
ing of the St Louis convention, swarms
Of New York goldbugs will leave the
Republican party.

UNEASY THE HEAD.

Uneasy lies the head that wears a
crown" and the crown of Russia is
rapidly becoming the heaviest crown
on earth. In spite OF Nihilistic bombs
and plots the great empire grows and
spreads south and east, until it will not
be long before the car Of all the Rus
sia's will turn his back with distain
upon all western Europe and its al
hances. The world is at the feet of the
young man who took his brothers place
and consented to be crowned in Mos
COW, the city of his fathers, where now
the most gorgeous pageantS the world
ever witnessed are in review. When
as an absolute monarchy Russia shall
dominate the Orient there will come q
constitution to that people, and Eng
land will no longer be the leading pow
er of the world.
The sensational report cabled from
Milan that Nihilist conspiracy against
the life of the car has been uncovered
at Moscow is properly diScredited in
London and other European capitals.
For weeks the police authorities
throughout Russia have been drag
ging the empire for every man and
woman against whom there is harbor
ed the slightest suspicion of disloyalty.
The prisons are temporarily crowded,
and all susDected DerSOns have Strictest
orders to remain in their homes during
the festival incidental to the corona
ton. The city of Moscow is policed
and guarded as no city, probably, was
ever guarded before. The sensational
story is doubtless the product of an
correspondent, or is float
ed to give the crown officials credit for
suppressing that which never existed.

the French press toward the United
States for its active sympathy with the
insurgents. Spain must win or France
already oyertaxed, must suffer severe
financial loss.
II is not improbable that in the event
of active Intervention in Cuba by the
United States in the cause Of human
ity, France would feel called upon 10
take a hand in support OF Spain and
her own bondholders- France has the
fever of colonial expansion strong
within her, and we cannot doubt that
she eDtertains hopes Of eventually &C
curing Cuba from bankrupt Spain,
and thus becoming the owner OF the
most valuable island in the West Indies
and one of the richest in the world.
This may be the French view; but it is
not the view entertained by the United
States, nor does it contemplate condi-
lions which the Monroe doctrine-per-
sistently ignored and repudiated by the
French-would permit, or which We
as people would permit even did this
doctrine not exist 1t is greatly TO be
feared that these French spectators
are laying up trouble for the future.
