THE TRUE
Grover Clevclnnd's Anti-Democrntic
Position.

In setting forth what true democracy
is Mr.. Cleveland says that "above all
things" it insists that the money OF the
people should be sound and stable,
neither shriyeling in purchasing power
in the hands Of the poor, mol by its un-
certain value driving enterprise and
productive energy into hiding" Thisis
true, as far as it goes. Democracy,
above all things, insists that the money
by mean of which the people make
their changes shall not appreciate in
value to such an extent as to double
their debts-to such an extent as to
cause the products of their labor TO
shrivel and shrinl; in value in their
hands until they are unable to buy
enough money with them to pay their
debts and taxes. Democracy insists that
it is far better for the prosperity of the
country for the purchasing power of
money to "shrivel' than it is for the
purchasing power of the products Of the
peoples labor to shrink.
We have seen what an unstable and
unsound dollar has done for the people
even during Mr.. Cleycland's administra-
ton. 1t has resulted N the prostration
of trade, the paralysis Of business and
the destruction of millions of values.
all because the value of the unsound
and unstable dollar has been increasing
in purchasing power, while the prod
ucts of the peoples labor have been de-
creasing in price. Democracy is as fair
to the debtor and the producer as it is
to the owners of capital loaned or in
vested. Its whole mission is one OF JUS
tice. 1t is not true that a rise in gem
cral prices to the level of 1873 would
work injustice to any class. Those who
are proiiting by the shrinkage in the
debt-paying and purchasing power of
the products Of human labor have no
right to such an advantage, for it is an
advantage that works overwhelming
injustice to the people, and, indeed, to
all classes.
We are very glad that Mr.. Cleveland

TARIFF TALK.
There Was Much of it in the House.
But There Was Very Little Ac-
complished.

Washington. March 23.-The second
days debate on the tariff bill was
something of an improvement over that
of the first day, although Mr.. Dockery's
statement early in the day was and is
correct that up to this time the de-
bate, compared to those which have
preceded it within the present decade,
is tame and uninteresting
The event of the day was the speech
of Mr.. Dolliver (Rep.. la. He held
the attention of the whole house-Re-
publicans and Democrats alike-for
over an hour and kept his hearers
laughing nearly from start to finish by
his humorous descriptions of the eff
fects of free trade or tariff for revenue
laws. His eloquent periods in advo-
cacy and defense of the protective
tariff policy aroused his political asso-
ciates to high state of enthusiasm.
Other speeches in favor of the bill
were made by Messrs. Gibson (Rep.,
Tenn.). Lacey (Rep., La.), Newlands
(Sil, New, the latter of whom spoke
from the standpoint of an opponent of
the Republican party's financial policy,
but an advocate of protection. A full

"H0ORAY FOR M'KINLEY."
BIG TEXAS BANK IS FORCED TO
THE WALL.
Action Precipitated by the Failure of
a Cotton Firm, and Run by De-
positors as the Result.

Paris. Tex. March 23.-This morning the
Farmers and Merchants bank, one of
the oldest and thought to be the strong
est financial institution in North Texas.
with paid up capital of 100000 and a
surplus of $4,000, made an assignment
and closed its doors. This action was
orec:D:tated by the failure of the cotton
tir-,, of Martin, Wise < Fitzhugh yester-
day. 1t was known that the firm owed
the bank money. but how much could not
be learned, and depositors became alarmed
a-d a run began. Ali checks presented
Yesterday were promptly cashed. The
bank officials foresaw that if the run was
kept UP it would be forced TO the wall
and appealed TO the other local banks
for assistance, but were refused. When
the doors opened this morning the run
was renewed and kept up until it was
forced to close.
There was also a run on the City Ma
tional bank. which lasted for several
hours, but ,depositors were promptly
paid Assistance was received from other
points. and tonight it is thought the
heavy Withdrawals will not seriously af-
feet the bank.
1t is believed the Farmers and Mer-
chants bank has ample assets to pay all
liabilities and will reorganize on relia-
BILE basis.

New York, March pa special to
the Times from Tampa, Fla. says:
The passengers on the Olivette last
night told story of the horrible muir
der committed in Pinar del Rio PROV
ince last week near Artemisa, of the
family of Captain Luis Perez, Cuban
leader, by the Spanish guerrillas. His
wife, three sisters and five children
were killed in cold blood. They were
/ living some distance from town when
this band approached. The women hid
and refused to open the doors when the
guerrillas demanded entrance. They
forced the doors with their muskets
and soon found the poor women. Mrs.
Perez was found in one room hidden
with the children behind bed. The
guerrillas raised their machetes to kill
them. The mother threw up her arms
pleading for mercy. They told her
that she must die. She then pleaded
for the lives OF her children but for
answer She received a sabre cash that
split her head open, scattering her
brains and blood upon the helpless in
FAINT she held in her arms
Four other children were slaughtered.
The guerrillas then pillaged the prem
ises. They found the three sisters and
endeavored to extort confessions of
rebel plots from them. When they
found that nothing could be learned
the women were subjected to the gross
est indignities and afterwards muir
dered. Not yet satisfied. the band
went through the house and plundered
it thoroughly, taking everything they
could use.
Juan Perez, an aged relative of the
family, had creDt up into the loft of
the old-fashioned house, where ne was
a silent witness to all that took place.
AS soon as the murderers had gone he
fled to the camp of the insurgents and
told them the story.

ton special to the World says: The
president will send new consul-gen-

He has rendered the Office to a dis

President Mckinley had selected a
man who would command the con-

send to Havana as conSul-general or
to Madrid as minister any one who, to
use the expression of one very near to
the president, has a lingo hair in his
head.
In making his Havana selection the
president was moved by a desire to
appoint a man with judicial mind
and willing to be guided by the treaty
of 1895 with Spain, by the consular
regulations, and by the presidents and
practices of international law. Other
names are now under consideration

RoLoFF'S STORY.
How He Did Good Work That Was

opening of the Olympic Athletic associa-

Two 15-round fights were on the pro-
gramme. The first was between Maurice
Hagerstrom, The terrible Swede.'' of
Providence, and Charlie Johnson of this
city. Hagerstrom proved anything but
a terror. and after 80 seconds-of fighting
in the second round, a right-hand hook
upon the jaw put him out.
The wind-up was between Jack Bonner
of this city and Dick Moore of College
Point, l.. I. The men fought at catch
weights and both appeared to weigh
about l45 pounds. From start to finish.
the fight was a terrific one. but the
science of both men robbed it of any
brutality. When time was called at the
end of the 18th round, both men were
strong on their feet and were fighting
like demons. The referee declared the
