MORE SPANISH BRUTALITY.

the Most Fiendish Deeds

Havana, April l9.-(yia Jacksonville,
Fla.)-A camp Of pacifcos near Manages,
Pinar Del Rio, has been raided and
more than forty Eersons slain. The
camp sheltered refugees from san Cris-

s Popular President.

William Mckinley is destined to be
one of the most popular Presidents
personally, that ever occupied the
chair. Almost from the day OF his in
a"uguration the newspapers of the II
try have contained references TO his
affability and compOsure under all cir
cumstances. and to his unaffected and
sterling Republican qualities. Among
the many comments of this nature we
reprint the following from the Phila-
delphia Bulletin:
1t looks as if Mckinley may become,
personally, the most popular President
the country has had since the time or
Lincoln. A careful reading Of the re-
ports Of the Impressions which his con-
duct in the White House has thus far
made on observers of a large variety
throughout the country Of all parties
politicians, Congressman, newspaper
men, social critics and business men
is distinctly and strongly favorable.
His simplicity, candor and amiability
seem to be engaging, and without sign
OF the weakness which often goes with
those qualities.

Husiuess Improvement Coming.

Continued activity in various indus
trial lines, based on an expanding con
sumptive demand, fairly steady prices
for staples, further improvement in
railway earnings and widespread con
fidence that the volume Of business will
expand materially in the near future,
constitute the trade features of the
week" SO said Bradstrcet's yesterday.
THE first step toward prosperity is TO
get the wheels started and the hands
employed, and the number Of works
which have resumed or increased force
during the past week seems greater
than in any other week since Novem-
Der. " - The money markets con
tinue especially favorable to industrial
recovery, and there is M such specula-
tive epidemic as to lock up IN excessive
share of available capital This APP
peared in Dun's Review yesterday.
The indications are good that the
long hoped for better times are headed
this way.-Kansas City Journal.

The Washington Way.

Washington once said: There is no
doubt of the wisdom Of the policy of
giving protection and encouragement
in any proper Legislative form 10 do
nestle industry" And yet these latter
day free-traders, who have assumed to
possess exhaustive knowledge of every
thing in heaven above and in the earth
beneath, have even dared to say that
the protective tariff vas not cOnstitu-
tional. 1t is too bad that they were
Not present to give Washington y few
tips on the correct Interpretation of the
Constitution. The ordinary American
citizen, however, is content to accept
Washington's Interpretation of the Con
stitution with the Interpretation Of
those Otherstatesmen who helped frame
the Constitution, and who, fresh from
that work, introduced and passed the
first protective tariff law ever enacted
in this country, and to which Washing
ton put his signature.

TRAMPS ARE THICK AT LENNON
Trying { q Devise Means To Drive
Away the Pests.

Chamberlain, April 16.-The author
tiles of the sprightly little town Of Len
noX have a p~crpleXing problem con-
fronting them. 1t is nothing more or
less than how to discourage the influx
of tramps, who, because of generous
treatment i'm the past have overrun
that vicinity to such an extent that
something must be lone to discourage
the pilgrimage or the town treasury
son why so many tramps go there is
because they get first class accommodd-
ton and never fail to convey Informal
ton of this fact to others of their gem
try. The town jail has during the Win
ter and spring been kept unlocked es-
peclally for the comfort of tramps, and,
as IL Is provided with a stove and beds,
all the tramps have had to do was to go
around town, beg coffee n other pro
visions, return to the Jail, start up a
rousing fire and live more comfortably
than the average hare working laborer.
Some of them a even had the nerve
to apply to the town marshal to be
taken to one of the local hotels for
meals and the taxpayers of the town
have had to DOT the bills. Now there
Is a decided inclination on the part OF
the citizens to protest against this
wholesale imposition on their generos-
ity, and 1t is proposed to put all tramps
at work on the streets when caught
making application for handouts.

Epigrnms from the Tariff Debltes.

Epigrams from the Tariff Del
Parker, OF New disqualification
and prosperity march hand in hand,
and revenue follows after.
Gibson, of Tennessee-No govern
ment can live without money, as no
human body can live without blood.
Olmstead, of Pennsylvania The
prosperity of the railroads is a pretty.
good index TO the prosperity of the
whole country.
McRae, of Arkansas believe it was
IN Irlshman who said that if Mr.. Cleve-
lands second term had come first he
never would have had a second.
Adams, of Pennsylvania--The trade
Of South America belongs to us by nat
ural conditions; they produce what we
want and we manufacture for their
necessities.
Hopkins, of lllinois-Our experience
in this House during the last few days
has verified the old statement that a
genuine Bourbon Democrat never for
gets an error and rarely learns n new
fact.
Dolliyer, of Iowa-The late admins
tration has had its trials, but amid
them all one persistent error has viii
ated all its calculations, and that Is that
a dollar borrowed is the fiscal equiva-
lent of a dollar collected.
Bartholdt, of Missouri-When n busi-
ness man OF good patcr famllias finds
that his debit exceeds his credit every
week he will, If he be n w~ell-meaning
and conscientious man, either curtail
his expenses or increase his revenue.
Mr.. Dingley, of Maine-Mr. Chair
man, the past four years have been en-
tightening, especially to candid investi-
gators of economic problems. We have
been attending n kindergarten on a
gigantic scale. The tuition has come
high, but 40 people ever learned so
much in so brief a time.
G~rosvenor, Of Ohio-If a political or
and wisdom and descends into the
slums and slime of bad politics and bad
government, that political organization
will be punished as inevitably as God
DEGREES the punishment of the man
who abused his physical system.
Grow, of observation-disclosures
to the consumer in articles Of consump-
ton, If made by reducing the wages Of
the laborer who produces them to the
rate paid his competitors in other
lands, where penury sits at the firesido
and sorrowlng want surrounds the
deathbed, Is not a desirable object.
Barney, of Wisconsin-Mr. Speaker,
not only has the business Of this coun-
try been destroyed and laboring men
turned ont Of employment everywhere,
but, in addition to this, there Is 10
price for anything which either the
manufactures or the farmer has to sell;
and this Is because the American man
ufacturer and the American farmer
have lost the best market ON this earth

pax the Foreigners9

Our tariff imports yield about

requires. We collect this duty for rev.
enue and for protection. BY making
the foreigners contribute from a hun
dred and fifty to two hundred millions
of dollars annually to get into u a
ket. we ena0.e >ur own people to run
their business at a profit. But how
many of us have stopped to think that

more money for carrying u imports

Wcnr American Clothes.

The merchant tailors are quite right
in demanding protection against for
eign clothing imported by Americans
who travel abroad. If American cloth,
made by American tailors, is good
enough for President Mckinley to
wear, then it ought TO be good enough
for any other American citizen. Those
who think otherwise should be compel
led to pay, in customs duties, dollar for
dollar of the value Of the goods they
import. The same law should apply to
foreign wines, foreign cigars, and all
other such fads and fancies as we'll as
to American clothing. Let us be Amer
leans under an American administra-
ton.

The only hope for the ~free-uraders
now is TO abolish history. They have
been pretty successful in the past, at
times, in %peryerting history, but all
things have an end. The smart from
this last blister of free trade has been
severe enough TO leave a lasting mark
on our history, which 1T won't be very
easy to get rid of. Protection has come
to stay, unless the free-tIaders can find
some way TO arnihilate memory and
sense as completely rs they have ami
hilated American prosperity.

Japanese Cutlery Coming.

American cutlery is quite likely to
meet active competition in our home
market from Japanese cutlery before
many moons have passed over us. The
Japanese are very expert cutters, and
are already able to supply their own
market with razors and other articles
of cutlery made both in native and for
eign styles. Having progressed thus
far in the cutlery industry, it will not
be long before they improve their man
ufactures and export their cutlery to
other countries. This fact should be
considered in framing the new tariff.
