1t would appear that the Cuban insur-
gents have assumed the offensive since
the arrival of Blanco in the island TO sue
coed Weyier. And, without attempting
a play on words, it may be remarked that
some Of the actions of the insurgents are
becoming very offensive to the people in
this country. The murder of Col Ruiz,
and the alleged murder Of Arenguron. will
do much to dampen the ardor of Americans
for the cause of the insurgents.

Senator Chandler apparently can see no
further into the future than the year 1900.
and his range of vision takes in nothing
except the republican party. He does
not wish his party to attempt currency re-
vision, because if it were to DO so, it would
run the risk of losing the congressional
elections next year and the presidential
election two years later. He does not
care anything about silver. or the coun-
try' all he desires is republican success at
the polls.

The Law governing Cotton.

The law of supply and demand applies
to the southern cotton industry as well as
to anything else. If the acreage is too
great and the production consequently
greater than the mills require. low prices
are inevitable. Planters viii do better if
they restrict their cotton acreage and sub
stitute other crops on the rest of the land.

Deaf, Dumb and Nearly Blind.

Sanitary Officer Frank had a sad case to
look after yesterday afternoon, the saddest
that has been under his care for weeks. A
young coiored man named William Dorsey,
who Is deaf and dumb and whose eyesight
Is almost gone, arrived here from New
York yesterday afternoon, and Policeman
Costello found him seated in the Baltimore
and Potomac depot. It was with some
trouble that he learned OF the mans help
less condition. and he then took him to the
sanitary Office. The only way the unfortu-
nate man could communicate with Mr..
Frank was to hold his hand on the pen
while the latter wrote. and he understood
the formation Of the letters sufficiently to
enable him to tell what was written. He
said he had been a musician, and had come
here from New York on his way to Georgia
AS he was suffering intense agony, he was
sent to Freedman's Hospital. His mother,
he says, Is Mrs. Mary Raffield. who lives at
26D 4th avenue. Pleasant Hill. Macon, Ga.
When his condition improves he viii start

them to tell about the physical condition
and prospects of the patient. The first
meter Is made of two strips of steel so thin
as to be flexible. These are fastened to-
gether with pivots, about one-fifth Of an
inch long. Between the steel plates or
strips is the mechanism. and fastened to
che portion OF the steel that comes against
the wrist is thin strip of what looks and
feels for all the world like oiled silk In a
Ynortise at the top of the meter one sees
certain figures. which change from time
to time with the physical condition of the
wearer- These figures denote the rise and
fall of physical condition. just as the mer-
curry in the thermometer indicates the
. changes in the weather.

To Pay in Cash Hereafter.

The practice Of paying the officers and
enlisted men Of the army by checks having
been found to be generally unsatisfactory,
1t has been decided by the War Depart
ment to return to the method formerly in
vogue Of making the payments In hard
cash. 1t is said that the check system
caused considerable annoyance and DELAY.
besides involving complicated bookkeeping.
The adoption of direct cash payments will
require the paymasters to make regular
visits to the various posts and minimize
the use of the mails.

THE PENALTY OF PERJURY
Eugene Mercer Sentenced for False Swear
ing When Procuring Marriage License.
First Case Under the New Law-Othe
Prosecutions in PrOspect-The
Judges Comments.

Judge Cole. in sentencing Eugene Mercer
| today to three years Imprisonment at hard
labor in the New Jersey state prison, for
| making a false affidavit in obtaining a
marriage license last month, gave notice
| that the new marriage law means some
| thing, and that every one who commits
perjury for the purpose Of obtaining IL
cense under it will be severely punished.
Mercer. a young colored man. it will be
recalled. obtained a marriage license for
John H. Strong. an old pensioner. and Mary
Robinson by falsely swearing that they
were colored people, and by falsely swear
ing as to their ages and citizenship.
The couple had unsuccessfully endeav-
| ored to obtain the license earlier In the
day, and when Mercer called for 1t later
the same day he denied that 1t was for the
same parties, and then falsely swore, as
charged.
Plea Of Guilty Entered.
Mercer plead guilty q few days ago. and
when asked today what he had to say.
stated to Judge Cole that he was induced
to get the license by friends Of the parties.
and did not realize that he was committing
perjury in making the required affidavit.
Assistant District Attorney Shiilington
explained to the court that Mercer is an
all around loafer, and Is known the
South Washington walking speak-easy.
In sentencing the man. Judge Cole told him
tt at he believed he was induced to get the
license by others. who perhaps also in
duced him to swear falsely. yet he know
ingly committed perjury. But in view of
the belief Of the court that he was encour-
aged by others, who should, the court re-
marked, be severely punished for their part
in the matter. he had decided to make the
sentence just one year more than the min
imum penalty, three years Imprisonment
at hard labor.
Other O6cnders.
This is the first conviction for perjury
under the new marriage law. but 1t is IN
derstood that District Attorney Davis is in
vestigating q case which occurred a few
days ago in which 1t is claimed that q
young white man obtained q marriage
license by falsely swearing to the age Of
one Of the parties. 1t is also understood
that Mr.. Davis contemplates prosecuting
the party or parties who are. believed to
have induced and encouraged Mercer 20
commit perjury.
In such a case, subornation Of perjury.
the law provides the same penalty as for
perjury. not less than two nor more than
ten years imprisonment in the penitentiary
at hard labor.
