men were charged with the most triffing
offenses or mere suspects, several OF
whom having been held on vague and
Gnimportant charges for many months.
When the trifing character of these
charges is compared with those made
against the men who have been releas'
ed since the present Administration
came into power the change in the atti-
tude of the Spanish authorities becomes
more evident.
One was captured in an insurgent
hospital and another was charged with
purchasing and concealing arms and
ammunition for the benefit of the i'll
surgents, yet there has been no delay
since the incoming OF the new Admin
islration in granting every American
citizen within Cuban prisons either the
fullest right Of trial under the guaran-
tee of treaty relations or prompt dis

Senator Galllnger of New Hamp-

IN speaking of the civil service law,
that it was "Humbug from top to

added that it was rotten from root to

Why any such measure should
ever have been enacted into statute
would mystify anybody not versed in
the ways of the American politician.
Those who are acquitted with the

measure for gaining the votes of lot
of cranks-broken down, disappoint-

Mckinley Opens Spanish Prisons.


The Washington correspondent Of
The New York Press says:
In the twenty days since President
Mckinley assumed the duties of his Of
fee as many American citizens have
been released from Cuban prisons as
had been released under President
Cleveland in the twenty weeks of the
closing period of his term. Only three
more American citizens now appeal
from Cuban prisons to the Government
of the United States for their protec-
ton or release.
There probably are dozen Ameri-
can citizens in Cuban prisons, but sew
eral of these have preferred not to agi-
tate their cases through appeals, which
might result more disadvantageously
even than their present conditions,
while the members OF the Competitor
crew who are still in prison are now
undergoing trial with assurances OF all
the protection and privileges to which
they, as American citizens, are entitled.
So that of the entire number who
were in Spanish prisons in Cuba wher
the present Administration came into
power, twenty working days ago, only
three now remain on the list asking
protection of this Government, and j
the ratio of releases is continued, anoth
er week will see every one OF them FREE
men. The change in the attitude o
the Spanish Government and the Gov
ernor General and military commando
of Cuba since the new Administrator
came in has been strongly marked.
Under the Cleveland Administrator
the releases possibly averaged one

In the tariff debate last week il
was reserved for Congressman Dolh-
yer of Iowa to make the most bril-
liant hit. We quote few of his re.
mares:
Mr.. Chairman, l like this bill, be-
cause il is neither Eastern nor Wes-
tern, Northern nor Southern. 1t is
American through and through.
(Applause.) Opening the doors of
opportunity to every section and to
every State. My friend from South
Carolina quoted line from Ger
man newspaper of Berlin, saying that
this bill was a slap in the face of
Europe. That is no new style of
German and French literature in re.
lation to American protective legis-
lation. The act of 1900 was denoun-
ced 10 the Temps of Paris, as a pro-
digious act of ingratitude toward
Europe. Laughter. } Your committee,
gentlemen, without fear or favor
toward any foreign country, has con-
scientiously undertaken to make this
bill a patriotic act of good will
toward the United States of America.
(Great applause.)
Gentlemen, you may talk of silver
and gold until your friends in an I'M
dertone begin to express their alarm.
(Laughter.) You may argue about
bonds and mortgages and banks and
capital and labor until the wheels in
your head begin to revolve like veloc
ipedes, but you will never get back
prosperity in the United States until
you give back to the American peo-
pie the working wages that they lost
four years ago. (Applause.)
The theory of the present law was
that we were not only to hold our
own, but we were to 60 out with our
free wool cloth and divide with Brad
ford and Chemnitz the task OF cloth
ing the naked inhabitants of the
earth. (Laughter.) That was the
theory. What has actually happened
may be stated in few plain words
and figures: Ten million sheep driven
to the slaughter, S0,000,000 pounds
Of American wool displaced in our
own market, the importation of cloth
multiplied by two, half the wooden
mills idle and locked up, and the
other half on scant wages and short
time. The treasury Of the United
States $2l 100000 shy. Laughter.
