lor, who has just retired from the Office
Of minister. He stated in strong Ian.
guage that this government would ex-
pect Spain to pay the claimant $4,000
as indemnity for the sufferings he had
endured. Spain's reply was that it was
under no obligation to pay Tolon and
this has been followed by another state
ment which declares that the action of
the Spanish authorities in Cuba was q
gubernative measure and that Spain
would be unjust to herself should she
indemnify Tolon.
Insist the Claim Is just.
State department officials insist that
the claim is just one and will con-
tinue to press it. Tolon was naturalized
in New York city in 1878. He estab.
hshed general business in Cardenas,

The history Of the Federal Government during
President Perce's Administration may be
summed up in few words. 1t was Democratic to
the core:
Frst-It repealed the Missouri Compromise.
which for thirty-three years had stood as the
law OF the land and final settlement Of the
slavery controversy.
Second-It legislated to extend slavery to the
Territories, and made a special and violent on
slaught upon Kansas.
Thrd-It struck down the protective tariff, an
act Of base betrayal of the people. President
Pierce having been elected as a protectionist.
Fourth-It defeated. by Democratic votes, the
grant Of homesteads to the people.
Fifth-It legslated to place the public lands
under the control OF 81 eculators.
Sixth-It struck down the Collins Line Of
American steamers to Europe by reducing the
subsidy. thus insuring the withdrawal Of that
line within a year or two and deliberately sur
rendering to England the ocean traffic Of the
world.

Missouri for his freedom He won his case
there. but 1t was appealed. and the Supreme
Court decided that q negro could not be q citi-

not sue for his freedom in a United States

the Missouri Compromise unconstitutional, and
that Congress had no power to exclude slavery
from any Territory 1t was believed by some
that this decision was pronounced by prear-
