The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1897-11-24

The rescue of the brave Cuban girl
Evangelina Cisneros from the Recojidas
prison in Havana by agents Of the New
York Journal must be set down as the
greatest piece of newspaper enterprise
in years 1t is not at all likely that the
true story of that thrilling and romantic
rescue has yet been told; perhaps never
will be. There is an air of improbable
ity about the published account, but it
will rank with the great prison escapes
OF history. Poems will be written re-
citing the tale; dramas in which the
rescue scene will be leading feature
will be enacted ON the stage for centuries
to come. The rescue seemed impossible,
judged from the standpoint of human
experience, yet it was accomplished.
Being political refugee, Miss Cisneros
cannot be extradited in response to de-
mand by the Spanish government. The
only way in which a possible demand
for her might be made by Spain would
be the claim that she was imprisoned
for conspiring against the life of the
governor of the isle of Pines and would
thus be classed as common criminal
But the United States government would
never take that view of the case.

England In Egypt.

The international deal whereby
France agreed to let England have her
way in Egypt in consideration Of being
let alone in Tunis will probably turn
out to be good thing for both nations.
There is room in Africa for both Of
them and both are needed there.
Meantime Great Britain was march
ing steadily ON southwark up the Nile
in the Sudan before the deal was made.
She had captured and occupied the city
of the terrible Berbers, formerly so
dreaded because of their incursions
northward. The headquarters of the
Mahdi's forces are now at Metemneh,
about 100 miles south Of Berber Khar.
tum itself is the same distance above
Berber, so that the British troops are
within 200 miles of the Mahdi's city.
Across to the northeastward of Berber
some $50 miles is the port of Suakin,
on the Red sea, and Suakin already be-
longs to the British Thus General
Kitchener is within mailing distance of
supplies and re-enforcements. So soon
as the English get Khartum railway
will be built from that place to Suakin.
Kitchener's engineers who are building
the railroad from Abu Hamed across
the great bend of the Nile have made
the discovery that the so called desert
which the line will traverse is not a
desert at all, but that wells may be
sunk anywhere and sweet water OBJ
tanned. They believe this points to an
underhow of the Nile itself across the
bend. With the knowledge that water
can be got anywhere in this desolate
region, it will be transformed into a
fertile and blooming land. England has
indeed great career in Egypt and the
Sudan.

The Japanese are the little brown
men Of destiny. Since the United States
In an amicable way opened their ports
10 the western world in 1850 they have
advanced in the ways of modern civil
ration with marvellous rapidity. It is
true that in their eagerness to bring
themselves up to the times they have
copied from Europe, and especially
from America. some customs that might
better have been left out. Still they
nave progressed so rapidly that Japan
IS now to all intents and purposes
ivilized nation and is to be treated
With as such. The invitation to her to
AXE part with Russia and the United
States in the Boring seal conference
marks the acceptance OF Japan as one
IF the civilized countries of the globe.
The Japs are becoming famous little
athletes. They go in with great en-
thusiasm for bicycle riding and for
physical sports. Attention to athletic
culture, together with the larger minds
Mat intercourse with the outside world
will give them and the greater variety
of food they will secure from the grains,
fruits and meats they now import will
make them in few generations larger
race physically. Japan's foreign trade
is increasing heavily. The largest in
crease is with the United States, and
we must see to it that this continues.
1t is to our interest to keep Japan as
our friend, even if there were no other
consideration than selfish policy. In
the past five years our export of goods
to the land of the little brown men has
more than quadrupled, even with the
hard times In 1896 it amounted to
S13, 1855, $40 OF this amount 5000, 713
came from iron and steel goods, ma
chinery, nails and pig iron. OF these
goods Japan now buys from us more
than from Great Britain. The raw cot
ton she takes from us has served to keep
up the price of that staple for our south
ern planters.

The Rag Baby" Again.


During the ardent silver agitation
of a year ago-you don't hear so
much of it now-the Northerner all
along contended that free coinage o.
silver into dollars containing less
than 100 cents worth of silver, was
6atism. Our popocratic friends, al
though in their ranks was found every
deluded follower of the exploded
greenback doctrine of few years
earlier, loudly protested against the
idea that they were fatists, claiming
that their theory carried into practice
did not mean cheaper dollars, SO
much as dearer silver, and that what
ever cheapening of the dollar there
was would be accompanied by like
cheapening of gold in the markets of
the world.
Once in a while, however, in an
unguarded moment free silver or
gan permits the "rag baby" spirit to
show its head. These thoughts are
brought to our mind by an editorial
clipping in the Courier of last week,
as follows:
1--WE should think that the honest
dollar advocates and sound money
people would not take the silver dol
lar now that there is onl y forty cents
worth of metal in them. Did you
ever hear of any of them refusing
them? We guess not. And the
government still coins these dollars
and they 90. And they would 60
If there was only cents worth OF
metal in them. Why? Because the
government (which is all the people,
is back of them and says that they
shall go for one dollar"
Years ago, all American fnanciers
and all political parties abandoned
the theory that the government could
issue paper money in unlimited guam
titles without promise or intention of
redemption, and give to the so-called
"money" any great amount of pur-
chasing power. The anxiety of a
great number of people to get some
thing for nothing, led many to espouse
the cause Of the late greenback party
in the days of its glory; but most of
them saw the error of their position
and the impossibility of creating ire
deemable money from worthless pa
per in unlimited amounts, and then
the great greenback party, the
strength of which had been a menace
to the financial stability of our ma
ton, went to pieces, and no one sup
posed that rampant fatism would
again secure foothold in this coun-
try. However, the spirit of the free
silverites is the same, and free coin
age at 16 to /, carried to its legiti-
mate and natural conclusion, is alb
solute fatism. We don't know as
the Courier intended TO admit its
adhesion to fiatism, but how else can
the statement be interpreted that
''dollars would go if there was only
a cents worth of metal in them?"
We are pleased that our contem-
porary has thrown off its mask oil
pretending to favor an honest dollar,
and its profession of belief that a
free-coined 16 to l silver dollar
would be an honest one, because SC
many have been misled by the plaus.
Utility of the delusive arguments
presented in support of the free coin
age theory. Few will, however, en-
brace the "rag baby" falkland a
dollar containing but cents worth
of metal is practically the same
thing.
There is such a thing as an homes,
dollar, but it is not and cannot be
tinctured with fatism and void Of the
promise of redemption or the prac'
tice of exchange.
