HOT SHOT FOR pRoTEcrIoN1srs

S8 The Pittsburg Press throws some hot
aBhot right into the camp Of the pro1ec-
Ftionists, and 1t was only few days
ago that the Philadelphia Ledger, en-
tered an earnest protest against the
raising Of the tax on wool, declaring
that the adoption OF that policy would
bring, down upon the Republican party
defeat as crushing as that which befell
8it at athe first general election after the
enactment or the mckinley tarifr."
EE It Will be remembered that both of
I these journals are published in q State
(which Is considered the stronghold Of

AS FALSE AS 1T Is CRUEL.

siS The suggestion that Consul General
Lee was negligent in his duty towards
5Dr. Ruiz, the American, who it is
charged was murdered in Spanish prl-
son in Havana, several days since, and
THAT his conduct now in demanding
/ from the administration certain support
against any further Spanish outrages In
Cuba, Is simply ruse to hide past delin-
7 queneies, Is an outrage which all honest
]; men men who Know General Lee will repel
with nndisguised disgust.
The: suggestion IS no doubt Of Span-
Stsh inception, and is as false as it is
cruel, and In the end must recoil upon

The event of the day at the State

mittinS the answer of the Spanish
government to his representa- lions In

nearly noon to-day before ii was all

three O'Clock before the first fair copy

was not so long. in fact there were n
little less than one thousand words in
